FIGHTING PAPER COMBINE.
Newspaper Publishers Want Canadian
Duty Removed.

Washington, Jan. 31.-A meeting OF
the American Newspaper Publishers
association was held here yesterday
with view to directing the attention
Of the American members of the Joint
high commission to the urgent need
that a policy be adopted which shall
protect the American forests by secur-
ing in the treaty now in the course of
preparation between the United States
and Canada a revocation OF the pres
ent duty on print paper and pulp from
Canada. c. w. Knapp was elected
chairman and William c. Bryan of the
Brooklyn Times, secretary of the
meeting. After a brief informal dis
cussion, statement Of the views Of the
American Publishers association was
adopted and ordered printed and pre-
scented TO the members of the commits
sion and to the representatives.
and senators in congress, reciting that
the honest intentions which original
ly induced the establishment OF a tar
if duty on paper and pulp had been
perverted to further the purposes of
the recently formed corporation, the
international Paper company, and
that every newspaper publication in
the country east of the Rocky noun
tains had been placed at the mercy of
that corporation. The statement con-
cludes as follows: I'VE, therefore,
urge that advantage be taken of the
opportunity offered by the Canadian
treaty negotiation to place pulp and
paper on the free list, and thereby
give strong, permanent assurance of
protection from this commission"
Nearly 70 newspapers from all parts of
the country were represented. A
committee consisting of S. H. Kauff-
man, Washington Star, Beriah Wilkins,

them without awkwardness or visible

Gently, Colonel Theodore A. Bingham,
who ID in charge Of public buildings
ana grounds and is also official an
nouncer, failed to present them. Mr,
Mckinley knew Captain Ayres, how
ever, and presented him and his wife
to Mrs Mckinley. Shortly afterwards
Colonel Bingham hunted up Captain
Ayres and asked him what he was do
ing there and who invited him. The
captain showed that he was properly
invited and a row was averteQ by an
apology from the colonel. The latter
arranged subsequently, however, that
the captain will receive no invitation
to the next reception. The matter has
been brought to the attention Of the
president, and though it has been kept
quiet the circles of official society are
much stirred up and other instances Of
Colonel Bingham's excessive zeal are
being given.
