Some of the lightest gauges are lowered 8 a ton, others 8 a ton and heav- fer sheets $1 ton. The new prices put black sheets more nearly in line with tin plates, while the heavier sheets more closely approximate the price of the plate sheet. The Eastern Bar Iron Assocla- ton, which was revived in May, Is re- ported to have a more effective agree ment than ever and prices east of the Allegreny mountains are now being strictly maintained.

Philadelphia. July 4.-Several thousand persons gathered in Independence Square today to see and to hear Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister.
 Minister Wu was orator of the day at the municipal celebration of Independ- ence Day, and the friendly reception given the distinguished guest must have allayed all fears for his safety based on the fact that he had received an anony- nous letter threatening him with bodily harm.
 After prayer by Bishop Whitaker. and addresses by Councilman Henderson and Rev. Wallis W. Fisher, Minister Wu was introduced by Chairman Hammond
 When the Chinese diplomat stepped to the front of the platform he was given a rousing reception and it was some time before quiet could be sufficiently stored to permit the distinguished speaker to be heard. As he proceeded with his speech he was listened to with marked attention and his patriotic utter ances were loudly cheered.
 Minister Wu began with an expression of his qualification of the honor shown him and regret over the circumstances which prevented his acceptance of a sini- lar invitation year ago. Referring to the day he sketched the many important events which had occurred upon it's an- niversary He made humorous reference to the fact that China furnished America with frecrackers and then in serious vein traced a similarity in the educational system of China which gave the humblest +a rt of the government and the electoral sys- tenn of the United States.
 He defined the canons of Confucius and Mencius as the Magma Charto of China, and quoted the words of Mencius:
 '"The people are the most important element in a nation, the spirits of the land and the grain are the next, the sov- ereign is the lightest.'
 His closing tribute to the United States was as follows:
 '.This nation, it seems to me, has not sprung into existence without a manifest destiny. There must be some noble end for which the independence of the United States was established. It was to demon strate to the world what great good to mankind a free and independent people can do, to establish a government of the people, by the people and for the people,; to preserve law and order; to treat all people alike with fairness and justness; to do away with selfish and clannish feel ing; to make American patriotism synon- -mous with fair play, with the love of mankind with freedom and liberty in ac- cordance with law and justice In pursu- ing these ends this republic will become the greatest power upon the earth, and you citizens of this great country will be more than ever respected and loved by allo

Member of ReichstaE Called to Ords

Member of Reichstag Called to Order
for the Ofense.
A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
Continuing the tariff debate in the reich
stag today, Herr Singer. social democrat.
disclaimed hostility to agriculture, but he
asked II the emperor and the princes,
who are large land holders, were willing
to bear the stigma Of profiting by bread
usury." which the tariff certainly fostered.
He did not think that his majesty wished
to profit by a hunger tax" but the bill
had already created hatred and excite
ment in the minds OF the masses, who
were apt to see a sinister connection with
the land ownership.
The remarks of Herr Singer enlivened
the debate considerably. He quoted fig
ures showing the great profits derived by
German princes from the grain duties.
He was called to order by Count Won
the reichstag. who presided at today's
session, for introducing the name OF his
majesty Emperor William into the de-
bate.
The minister of agriculture, Gen. Won
Podbielski took strong exception to Herr
Singers language. He declared that the
social democrats We're trying to under
mine the government, asserted that the
goyerrment had done It's best TO arrange
an equitable tariff schedule. and said that
1t intended to arrive at decision upon
the course it had mapped out.
Count Won Iianitz said that the present
status of commercial relations between
Germany and the United States was quite
unsatisfactory. and that the Saratoga
treaty Of 1891 was the sorriest achieve
ment ever scored by German diplomacy.

Home of Presidents.

From the New York Mail and Express.
That fine old colonial mansion overlook.
ing the Potomac and confronting the Virs
glnia heights beyond, known informally
and now officially as the White House. was
designed originally as the residence OF the
President Of the United States. II has
been turned gradually into an executive OF.
fee building. with incidental personal guar
ters for the Presidents household. Various
plans have been suggested to relieve this
abnormal condition. The proposition to
enlarge the White House so as to include
a spacious and dignided residence within
the same walls as the executive Offices,
while repeatedly advocated. has never won
popular favor. Too many historic associa-
tions cling about this mansion to permit its
alteration. The bill introduced by Senator
Lodge, which is presumably In accordance
with what President Roosevelt conceives
will be most convenient and agreeable TO
his SUCCESSORS and to the people, would
provide for the construction of exeous
tive building south OF the Treasury build
ing. This would AFFORD a working place fog
the entire executive staf. at once near the
White House and easily accessible from ell
parts Of the national capital. The nation
