TO MAKE II LIGHTER
They Will Be Careful Though Not to Open the General Subject of a Tariff Revision - Neither Will the Members Permit Their Work to Be Hindered by Intsrminable Hearings.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The republi- can members of the ways and means committee met today to consider a measure for the reduction of the war revenue tax. The most important ac- tion taken was decision not to re- move the tax of 10 cents a pound on tea. T'lle committee will not take up or disturb the tariff on imports, as the members claim it would open up the whole subject of tariff revision.
 The committee will not grant any hearings while framing the bill, as full hearings were given during the last session, and since then briefs and state ments of the various interests have been received.
 The parties who are interested can file briefs or statements with the com mittee. The session of the committee today was devoted entirely to general discussion, and no agreement has been reached upon any of the schedules.

BABE GOES UP FOR LIFE
Police Court Sentence Passed on Al
 gernol Dove

Algernon Dove, better known as Babe" was in the police count again yesterday for maybe the thousandth time. The last time ne came before the court, the recorder, having imposed an ordinary sentence, told him that the next time he was brought before him, he would send him up for life. Babe" replied that he would never get drunk again in his life.
 The recorder was therefore astound- ed and embarrassed when Babe was led in yesterday morning.
 A life sentence under the ordinary meaning of the expression was beyond his Jurisdiction. In fact, he is held down to the pitiful period of 1S0 days, yet his word was out and he would have to meet it. He accordingly pro- cured a work on life insurance, con- taining an Expectation of Life" ta- ble, from which he proved to Babe that he could not reasonably expect to live more than thirty days longer, since he was already sixty years old. "As suming, therefore" said the court, ''as I have a right to assume from this ta- 'ble. that you will live thirty days lon ger and no more, I will sentence you to thirty days in the chain gang. l could give you forty days and even more, but we would not want your re- mains lying around here. We have no place to keep thenI Besides, the devil has certain claims upon you, which we are bound to respect in law. It is true that the devil is not an ad- mirable character. but as much as we may disapprove of his morals, at the same time we cannot, without dishon- or, withhold from him anything that rightfully belongs to him. If we should do So, we would be but little better than he is. The sentence of this court is. therefore, that you be taken hence and placed upon the chainganS, in which you shall labor by day. and that you be confined at night in the city jail-this sentence to be in force for thirty days and nights, the natural and reasonable remaining period of your life"

CUT OFF SIX YEARS
Confession of King Ussery Only Partly
 Believed.

Governor Murphy yesterday com- muted the sentence of John Echols, a convict at Yuma, from ten years to four years. There is a. very interesting story back of this. Echols was con victed in Yavapai county in June, 1S9S of stage robbery on what seemed to be the most conclusive testimony. A stage running among the various min ing camps, one of which was the Crown King, was held up by a masked man. The terroriZed driver and an equally terrorized passenger surrendered their wealth without argument and gave up the mail bag. The bandit allowed them Ito drive on and watched them until they were out of sight He car Iied the mail bag d quarter of a mile, cut it open and scattered it's cont5 nts about. He carelessly threw his mask away and pursued his journey with ap parently as little thought of pursuit as if he had been engaged in d legitimate occupation.
 A pursuit was organized the same af- ternoon. The robbers mask was picked up and he was easily traced from that point on to Echols cabin by the tracks made by his heavy hob-nailcd shoes.
 
 of cloth from which the material ous of which the mask was made had been torn. The shoes which made the tracks were found and Echols admitted that they were his and the stage driver and passenger Identified Echols' Winches- ter as the one whose barrel they had recently inspected. They were certain on that point, for they had observed the weapon with more than casual in terest. Against all these circumstances Echols could only say that he knew nothing about the robbery. He was indicted and brought to trial at the June term.
 At the same term King Ussery, one of the most hardened of Arizona crim inals, was Ito be tried for robbing the Gladiator mill of a large amount of amalS0n. He was (A Aenled by

Herr Richter declared that the radicals were of the opinion after the assassination of Baron von Ketteler that a military demonstration in China was absolute gy necessary, but the dispatch of an iron-clad division was superfluous.
 He alluded during the course of his remarks tJ the public declarations of Emperor William, saying they were obviously intended to influence public opinion. Herr Richter added that he thought the emperor should first have had an understanding with competent ministers regarding the tenor of these declarations. Ills advice to the en- peror to consult his ministers eticited much approval.

Chinese Question Is Not
 Easy of Settlement
WRANGLING POWERS
The United States Is Left Practically Alone on Its Broad Propssitioa for an Adjustment of the Diff culties-It Is Suspected That the Greed of Territory + Working Dissension.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The Chinese situation was the main topic under consideration at today's cabinet meet ing. The administration is not disposed to join with the other governments in making demands upon the Chinese i'm perial authorities which the Chinese government cannot comply with.
 So far as our government is advised. the foreign ministers at Pekin have not yet agreed on all the points under dis cussion. MT. Conger has received from time to time various proposi tions und. r consideration. but he has not yet indi- cated that anything in the nature of an agreement has been reached upon which the various powers might act, and which is to serve as d basis of ne gotiatfons with the Chinese authorities.
 MT. Conger has not, however. been heard from for week and this fact has caused some Encouragement to the of hcials. who had expected that this phase of the difficulty would soon be closed. Having passed over the stage of prescription of the Chinese leaders Who were responsible for the Boxer outrages, the foreign ministers are be- lfeved now to be engaged with the diff ficult subjects of indemnity and guar anltees.
 The last United States proposition was in line with the Russian project to allow The Hague commissioners to adjust the indemnities. It is believed that this proposition has never com mended itself to the British or German governments and failing such refer Hnce to the question of indemnity. it is believed that it will be most difficule task for the ministers at Pekin to reach an agreement on this subject. particularly in view os the existence of a very strong suspicion of the motives of some of those ministers.
 This apparent indifference In the or igfnal purpose between the United States government and some of the other powers have operated to prevent the settlement of the Chinese question upon the broad lines laid down in the departments proposition. It is tr-ue that all of the powers subscribed a more or less reluctantly assent to such proposals as look to prevention of the partition of China and a guarantee J begins to appear from the course of negotiations that either these promises were not sincere in all cases, or that some of the makers honestly have changed tfeir minds as to what shall be done for the present situation in China.
 It may be stated. however. regard less of embarrassment because of the delays that follow from the existence of this state of affairs that the United States government does not propose to be driven to a concert relative to China at this juncture of the negotiations. notwithstanding the wish cherished by the administration to free the govern ment from these entanglemenliS at the earliest possible moment and to with draw entirely our military forces from China.
 It has definitely been determined that this shall not be done until the proper interests of the United States in China have been conserved.
