ITALY TO HAVE NEW TARIFF.
Premier Announces Program to De
veIop Internal Commerce.

Rome, Dec. 14.-sig. Zanardelli. the
Italian premier announced that he
hoped to conclude commercial treaties
with Germany and Austria benefiting
Italian agriculture. With that end in
view the premier said he was studying
a tariff which 1t was proposed would
eventually provide a means of defense
against foreign tariffs. The government
also hoped to conclude satisfactory
agreements with Russia and Brazil.
Sig Zanardelli said the country ought
to endeavor to make Naples great
manufacturing center by pouring CAPT
tai in 1t. He intended during the next
session Of the chamber of deputies to in
troduce bill to establish two direct
lines of railroads between Rome and
Naples and to reduce the journey be-
tween the two cities to two and one
half hours.
Continuing, the premier said he also
hoped 1t might be possible to construct
a central railroad between Bologna,
Florence and Rome. thus reducing the
Journey between Milan and Naples to
nine hours.
Another bill to be introduced would
propose the construction OF aqueducts in
Apuia, province of southern Italy.
These measures would not disturb the
national finances, said the premier. be-
cause the work would be taken In hand
gradually.

District President Of Mine Workers
May Enter Service of Operators.
Ottumwa. Dec 14.-John p. Reese, OF
Abba, who for the past two years has
been president of District 10. United
Mine Workers of America, has resigned
and will probably be the commissioner
chosen by the Iowa Coal Operators As
ISOLATION to represent them In their
dealings with the miners of the state
next year. While the selection OF Mr..
Reese has not been officially announced.
yet it is said in inner coal circles that
the Abba man has been practically de-
cided upon. The selection of such
commissioner has been left in the hands
of a committee Of which III. l.. Water
man, of this city, Is the chairman. MT.
Reese has been in communication with
the operators for many months, and the
announcement that he will resign the
Office OF president of the United Mine
Workers Jan. probably means that he
has decided to accept the new position.
The news that Mr.. Reese contem-
plates going with the coal operators
will come as a great surprise to the
army of miners In Iowa, who looked
upon him az one of the brightest men
who ever represented their cause. He
could have been reelected to his pres
ent position at the next meeting had he
80 desired. 1t is surmised that the offer
made by the operators was too tempt
ing to be overlooked and late develop
ments make it practically certain that
he will go with them. 1t is understood
that the operators have offered MT.
Reese $4,000 per year, which is over
double the salary he receives as presi-
dent of the Mine Workers.

Mrs. Lynch Contradicts States Testi-
mony Against Sullivan.
Chicago, Dec. 14.--Mrs. Margaret
Lynch. wife of ex-Bailiff James j.
Lynch, the confessed jury briber. was
the star witness in the early session OF
the trial of Alexander Sullivan, charged
with alleged conspiracy to keep Lynch
from being tried for his crime. She gave
the lie direct to much Of her husband S
testimony on which the state had large
ly based its case. Mrs. Lynch has been
separated from her husband for some
time. Yesterday Mrs. Lynch denied en-
phatically that Alexander Sullivan's
name was mentioned either by her hus-
band or by George p. Murray on the
night when Murray is said to have
called on Lynch to ask him to accom-
pany him to Sullivan's house. Lynch
testified some time ago that Murray
said he came at Sullivan's behest, and
that Sullivan wanted to send Lynch to
Canada in order to avoid being tried for
jury bribng Mrs. Lynch further testi-
fled in contradiction to Lynch that
Lynch had expected Murray to call on
the night in question.
Joseph G. Mann, an attorney Of Dan
vile, ILL.,, went on the witness stand
later and testified that he was Alexan-
der Sullivan's associate in the cases
where jury bribing was charged and
that he examined the jurors. He stated
that he had never had any suspicion OF
any tampering done by Lynch; that he
had never had any dealings with the
prosecuting witness. A strong objec-
fiop was made To admitting This festf-
mony on the ground that it was imma-
terial. Mann. however. made person.
al plea to the court that his good name
might be sullied by suspicion cast upon
him and he was allowed to speak.

The paper adds: The Rio Tintos
Company is in position TO regard with
equanmity further drop of 20 shillings
per ton, but not SO the Standard Oh
Company, who have to consider the
possibility of general smash OF the
American market"
Rio Tintos fell ss points at the opening
yesterday, but subsequently regained
the slightly improved condition OF last
nights price.
The market is still governed by mys-
terious influences, the genesis Of which
even the dealers are unable to fathom
1t is said to be remarkable that, In
spite of the selling pressure, coupled
with the gloomy reports from New
York, the price of the standard grade
has only shrunk 3 shillings per ton. The
first change in the price yesterday was
when 1000 tons were sold at % for all
dates up to Feb. 2s. and at SO to Sill for
the three months. The heaviest selling
was from fresh quarter. 1t excited
curiosity, but no explanation was forth
coming.
1t is believed in many quarters that
the most important London houses con-
slider the present prices to be justified
by the great expansion and consumption
of recent years and that. consequently
they are willing to lay in considerable
stock in the neighborhood Of so. which
they would not have done at 40. Thus
the market is sustained by quiet alb
sorption of the most tempting offers.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The jury In
of the murder of James Seymour Ayres,
Jr., the young census Office clerk killed
in the Kenmore hotel last spring, re-
turned a verdict last night of not guilty
after being out about four hours.
Lola Ida Henry BONNIE, aged 81 years,
wife of travelling salesman and mother
&C two boys, shot and killed James Sey-
mour Ayres, census clerk, in his room
at the Kenmore Hotel early in the
morning of May 49, 1901.
Ayres and Mrs. BONNIE quarreled or
March 4, and early in May Ayres an
nounced his intention of leaving the
hotel. He arranged to move on May To-
There was social gathering in the
rarlors on the night Of May IA. Mrs
Bonnie was there. She went to hei
apartments, and at 1920 Miss Mary
Minas called on her, finding she had
changed her attire and was wearing a
brown wrapper Miss Minas occupied
the room next to that of Ayres on the
fourth floor.
Shortly after a. m. Miss Minas heard
three shots. She was frightened and did
not move. Thomas w. Baker, who lived
across an alley from the hotel, saw the
figure of woman descend the fire es-
cape from the fourth floor of the hotel
t. the parlor and enter a window
At breakfast the next morning Miss
Minas and others told of hearing the
shots. Miss Minas was hysterical and
asked that Ayres' room be entered. This
was done and the body was found.
The murder was the sensation Of the
capital. The net Of evidence gathered
closer around Mrs BONNIE. She had ap-
peared ut the breakfast table calm and
composed, while Miss Minas was hys-
terical and had expressed surprise when
the body Of Ayres was found. The police
took Mrs. Bonnie under surveillance.
and for four days she stoutly and calm
ly protested her innocence.
On May 20, while the coroner was
holding the inquest. Mrs. BONNIE entered
the court room and. without display of
emotion, confessed that she had killed
Ayres.
Mrs. Bonnie told her story quietly. She
said she had, as friend. advised Ayres
against drinking, that he had resented
her attempt to give advice. and that
they had quarreled.
She said that after midnight on May
10 Ayres came to her room and said he
had a chill, asking for some medicine.
He apologized for his part in the quar-
rel and asked her to come to his room
that they might talk over their differ
ence.
Mrs. Bonnie said she dressed, and
about OF clock walked around the corri-
dor to Ayres' room, reaching 1t almost
as soon as he did. Ayres, she said,
opened the door. admitted her. closed 1t
instantly and locked it. Then, she said,
he threw one arm around her while with
the other hand he held a revolver with
which he threatened herslife. She strug-
g!ed with him, trying to reach the fire
escape. She said she grabbed the bar
rel of the revolver and in the struggle it
was discharged.

MORGAN SAVES FRIEND.
Million and Half Cash Prevents Fail.
ure of a Bank.


New York, Dec. Railways man OF
decision and prompt action, 1t took J.
Pierpont Morgan only a few hours to
get together s1,500.000 Of ready cash
when he knew 1t was needed by an old
friend, who without it would be brought
face to face with business ruin. Not
only did Mr.. Morgan prove he was a
friend indeed, but his course probably
saved the financial world from serious
disturbance. This concern is one which
Is interested largely in the promotion OF
industrial enterprises. and is known all
over the world. The head Of the firm
has long been intimate with Mr.. Nor
gan. In the money center many rumors
concerning this man were heard on Sat
urday. 1t was said he had not realized
on large transaction as speedily as he
had expected. and that he had been
caught short of ready cash. With these
rumors came an easy feeling In the mar
ket and falling of in prices.
After trying to obtain large loans
here and there, only to be unsuccessful
the distracted man bethought himself
of his friend, Mr.. Morgan To his Office
he went and explained the situation. 1t

the money, but he told his visitor to re-
turn on Monday morning.
With the opening of the market that
day there was further slump. and the
report OF the firms difficulty was on ev.
cry tongue. But at this time the head
of the embarrassed firm was with Mr.
Morgan. That able financier was actu-
ated by a double motive. He wished tc
do all in his power to save his friend; he
wanted to avert the disaster which
might come to others in the wake OF the
firms suspension. But so large was the
sum needed that he himself could not
place his hand on 1t in time to prevent
the impending crash.
Then 1t was that he decided to call
upon August Belmont. The three men
We're in consultation for about fifteen
minutes and then a sum OF ready money
-variously estimated at from $1,000, 00C
i to 81, 0oO-was turned over to the
head of the embarrassed house.
Soon after word went all over the
street that the firms difficulty had been
adjusted; the proof was Forthcoming
that many OF its larger obligations had
been met and the effect was noted al
once on the market, which took an up.
ward course.
]. Pierpont Morgan had proved true to
q friend, and had saved the market
again.
