The Impending Conflict

Reciprocity treaties mean the making
Of gaps in our own tariff as we'll as In
the tariff walls Of the other countries
concerned. There will come the dificl--
ty when the details of the
ments are planned. For instance, Rus
STA puts up custom-house bars at its
ports against American machinery be-
cause we have put UP a special bar
against Russian sugar. Our manufac-'
lures of machinery clamor for the re-
ciprocal removal of the American bars
against Russian sugar and the Russian
bars against American machinery. but
h American sugar beet and cane su-
gar interests join hands in fighting any
reduction. The same conditions exist
all along the line and the fight over rec
iprocity treaties is likely to be as bitter
as il 1t were over a bill for the revision
of the tariff.
Reciprocity" is not SO disturbing q
term as tariff revision" but IL means
pretty much the same thing.

THE VOUCHERS WITHHELD

altfes Paid for Use of Harvey Process

Washington. August 26.-The depart
ment of justice, in an opinion by act
ing Attorney General Beck, mas advised
secretary of the navy that he is justi-
fed in holding his approval of certain
vouchers which have been submitted
by the Bethlehem Steel Company and
the Carnegie Steel Company for royal
ties which these companies paid to the
Harvey Steel Company for the use of
the Harvey process in hardening steel,
and for which they claim reimburse
ment from the government under con-
tract by which the government agreed
to repay these royalties to the steel COM
panies if the steel companies were re
quired to pay" them to the Harvey
Steel Company. The liability to pay
these royalties has been a matter of
dispute for some years, n while the
particular royalties only relate to the
hardening of armor plates for the bat
tleships Illinois and Wisconsin yet the
decision affects all of the royalties
upon the various battleships which
have been constructed since 1893 or are
under process Ct construction.

AUTOMOBILE RACES ENJOINED.

Avenue, Newport.

Providence. r. l., August 26.-Judge
Wilbur in the appellate division Of the
supreme court today ganted a temper
airy injunction restraining the National
Automobile Association and others from
automobile races on Ocean avenue,
Newport. A hearing will be given next
Wednesday on application for a per-
injunction. The bill in equity
was brought by of property
abutting on Ocean avenue. The race,
which was to have been held Friday
next, was designed to be h most no
table event of its kind ever held in this
country. A prime mover in the affair
was w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr.
1t is probable the contestants will
use a mile track a short distance from
Newport. but that will be unsatisfac-
tory for high-power machines such as
were used in the Paris-Berlin races.

NOVEL RAILWAY SUIT.
One Railroad Sues Another to o
seven Miles OF Track.

Atlanta, Ga, August 26.-The suit of
the Western n Atlantic railroad,
brought against the Southern railway,
in which the former road seeks to es-
tablish it's claim Of ownership to a sev-
en- mile stretch of road near Dalton,
Ga, will be heard before Judge Fife to-
day.
The piece of property over which the
two roads are litigating is valued at
5000 n is regarded by ach as a
most important connection. The South
ern railway has been using this sever
miles of track for some time past and
asserts it's claim to possession of it by
a former understanding that the title of
the road is owned by it.
On the other hand, the Western and
Atlantic railway contends hat this sew
en- mile stretch is a portion of its
line n that the Southern railway has
no just claim of ownership to the same.

YELLOW FEVER EXPERIMENTS
With the Mosquito by the Yellow
Fever Board OF Havana.

Havana, August 2s.-Of the eight per-
sons bitten by infected mosquitoes in
connection with the experiments con-
Quoted by the yellow fever board dur
ing the last three weeks. three have
died. Three others, who took the fever
are expected TO cover One has not
developed the disease. The eighth per-
son as yet has not developed yellow
fever although it is too early to say
what will happen in that case.
Surgeon Major Reed intends TO o n
tinue he Investigations. Major Cor
gas, chief sanitary officer. says the idea
of the yellow fever board was to sub
ject to mosquito infection as many as
would volunteer. Sixteen persons had
been bitten and all had recovered. and
the theory of the board was that, If
some or more persons could
have been bitten with similar results
a report could have been published
showing how apparently safe and easy
it was to become immune. After this
had been published the entire popula-
ton might have been immunized. So
many cases gave mild results that the
impression was created that the danget
was not so great as it Ia turned out
to be.
Thus far during August there has
been two deaths, from yellow fever in
Havana as compared with an averag:
of more than fifty for the month OF
August during the previous eleven
yers. Major Gorgas regards the ex-
pertinent in mosquito infection as Of
immense service to science.

fected mosquito after incubation with
the serum of DR.. Caldas. the Brazilian
expert, has developed what seems &c
be symptoms of yellow fever. The vel

FOUR MEN KILLED
By Ff Hing Orders on Southern Rail-
way Bridge Near Columbia, s. G.

Columbia, S. c., August 26.-In an &C
at the new bridge which the
Southern railway is constructing across
the Congaree river near Columbia four
men were killed, three injured, one
fatally and two seriously.
The accident occurred at $50 o'clock
this morning and was caused by the
falling of two steel Orders about
seventy feet long, weighing fourteen
tons each. The two girders were hoist
ed about midway above the bridge. n
rains Of the night previous had prob
ably caused the ropes holding them in
place to slip.
The crash came without the slight
est warning and at a time when there
were seventy-five men on the bridge,

Three of the men were pinned to the
bridge and killed instantly, four more
were knocked into the river, two of
whom were rescued by a government
tug which came up from the Congaree
locks a quarter of a miie way.
The river is considerably swollen at
present but will be dredged tomorrow
for the body of Jim Reese.
Reese would probably have escaped
but became terrified and jumped to
save himself and was drowned before
the tug could reach him. The bridge
is being built by the Phoenix Bridge
Company, of Philadelphia. The struc-
ture was not materially damaged by
the accident, though it is feared some
of the iron work has been considerably
strained by the falling of the girders,
