ments to the Public Meet
inss Bill Again Defeated.

Berlin, May 31.-The trial of Herr
Won Tausch. the former chief of the
secret police, charged with perjury,
treason and forgery. was resumed today.
Herr Friedheim, representing the chief
of police, testified that Won Tausch, dur
ing the course of his investigation into
the origin of the article in the Welt am
Montagu, intimated that it originated
from the foreign office. The witness ad-
mitted that before the Won Luetzow trial
von Tausch expressed joy at the oppor-
tunity to publicly declare the fact that
the political police did not themselves en-
gage in politics.
Count Phillip Won Gutenberg, the Ger
man ambassador to Austria, testified that
he met Won Tausch at Abbasra and that
he publicly requested Won Tausch, if he
heard interesting news, to communicate
with him. The ambassador, continuing,
asserted that when he received clipping
from the article in the Welt am Montagu,
the statements made did not impress him
as being connected with any special in
trigue, and he did not question Won
Tausch on the subject.
Chief of Police Windheim testified that
it was not the duty of Won Tausch to re-
port the case of a forged receipt, signed
"kukutsch." The witness said that he
was no longer in a position to state why
he had not informed Herr Won Koeller.

the minister for war. In any case he
said no blame attached to Won Tausch

of the Kukutsch receipts in the course of
the LuetzowLeckert trial.
This last statement Occasioned a lively
passage between the public prosecutor
and Won Luetzow's counsel, resulting in
the latter, whom the president of the
court threatened to punish for contempt,
throwing down his brief and leaving the
court in rage. After adjournment.

GAGE GETS BACK.
Discovered That the People Were
CInmOring for "a Tariff Bill.

| Washington, May 31.-Secretary Gage
has returned to the city from Cincinnati,
where he was a guest at the banquet
given last Friday by the Commercial
club of that city to the visiting clubs
from Chicago, Boston and st. Louis.
Mr.. Gage said today that a feeling OF
| impotence seemed to be general among
the people at the delay in the passage
of tariff bill. The business of the
country was in a condition approaching
stagnatiOn and although the public real
| ize that the greatest care IS necessary
| in the construction of bill of such vast
Importance, the people are beginning to
complain Of the time being consumed.
What they most wanted was the prompt
passage of tariff bill that would pro-
duce sufficient revenue, and with that
question out of the way the government
could take up the question of reform in
he currency.
The business men in attendance at the
Cincinnati meeting, Mr.. Gage thought,
were agreed that currency commission
should be authorized and appointed at
once with n view TO their formulating
Il plan which could be presented to CON
grcss on its rcassembling in December.
During the recess of congress it was
thought that hearing could and should
be given by the commission to the imam
cicrs and others who desire to be heard
from all parts of the country. 1t was
Il great question, he added, and should
receive the fullest consideration. If the
commission should fail to agree upon II
satisfactory plan, the administration very
likely would have proposition to pre-
sent to congress. In any event, the peo-
pie with whom the secretary cOnversed
were agreed that some initintory action
should be taken at once. The business
of the country impatiently demanded it,
he concluded.
