 World Are on Them-ExpIains the
Aims of the New Measure.

| Berlin, Dec. 2.-Coun von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, in introducing the greatest parliamentary struggle | that Germany has ever faced-that on the new tariff bill-counselled the mem- ] bers of the reichstag to moderation of | language declaring that the eyes of the | world were upon them Although this was Germanys affair." said Count von Buelow, it was necessary to maintain a resolute front to the other nations of | the world
 "The emperor said the chancellor, has approved the bill which is the re- suit of several years comprehensive, careful labor. It is the outcome of the requirements of German economic life. and is intended, while giving so far as possible equal consideration to all in- terests to meet, above all, the wishes for increased protection manifested by the agriculturalists the justice of which within the limits prescribed by due re- gard for the commonweal, cannot be disputed.
 "The measure also is intended to furnish a better weapon for future commercial treaty negotiations with other states
 "The bill therefore, is not depart ure from the policy of tariff treaties"
 The statement caused exclamatlons from the leftists
 Wait minute" retorted Count von Buelow, "and see which way the hare runs next"
 "In any case,' retorted the chancel- Tor, the federal governments have firmly resolved, in the interests of Ger man export trade to pursue this policy in the future as in the past, and to de- eide according to our own judgment, upon the limits of what we can grant without abandoning vital German in- terests.
 Tt Is now the business of this ex- alted house to examine the bill and pass 1t to law. The federal govern ments are conscious of the far reach- ing importance of the task before them, so far as the economic life of the nation is concerned. and of the unusual diffi-

OBSERVERS ACCUSED.
Charged With Responsibility of Mas
 sacre of Ninth Infantry Company.


 Washington, Dec 2-According to Manila newspapers, copies of which have been received at the war depart ment, the massacre of Go. c, Ninth in- fantry at Balangiga, Samar, was plan ned by deserters from the American army. The newspapers say that two such deserters are known to have act ed as spies two days before the mas sacre. It is said that when the First infantry was relieved by the Ninth on the Island of Samar, these deserters obtained some uniforms which had been left astray during the transfer, and thus equipped they passed still as reg ulars.
 Deserters in Samar are becoming very bold, it is said, and it is not an in- frequent sight to find notices written in English, posted on trees and shrub bery, inviting Americans to join the insurgents and instructing them how to enlist. It Is also said to be a gen. erally understood fact that deserters from the Ninth cavalry (colored) are responsible for all the troubles our troops have been having in Batangas province It is said that deserters from this regiment led the fight near Lipa in July in which Captain Will helm and Lieutenant Ramsey Twenty first infantry, and Lieutenant Lee of the engineers, were killed. General Smith in Samar and the Twentieth in fantry in Batangas are said to be hot on the trail of the deserters.

fl STOWA PLIGHT.
Found ina Starving Condition-His Be-
 eovery Doubtful.

New York, Dec. 2.-When a long shoreman dropped into the hold of the steamer Palatia, of the Hamburg American line, to-day. just after she had arrived at the Hoboken docks, he was startled to hear a weak voice call for water. Then he heard moans. On | man lying upon some salt sacks. The man was dragged to the deck and be- came unconscious. Tonight he is in a Hoboken hospital with little chance of recovery. or, indeed, of ever telling his story. He is suffering from starva- ton.
 An investigation shows that he was boxed up in Germany in packing case marked 'J. B. McG." In the case was found a small bottle which had contain ed Whiskey and some crumbs of bread. A piece of paper was found marked John Beck" The box was marked in German: This side up; with care" There were no air holes in the case, and the man must have existed on what air came through the joining of the DOdTuS. ne Hdlc1l JO lllfS IlOlu istu llOl been opened from the time the Palatia left port until to-day. It is the opinion of the investigators that during the last of the trip the stowaway became so frenzied that he broke out of the box, but there was no way for him to give the alarm.
 The man was we'll dressed, evidently a German about thirty years old He had less than dollar in German mon ey in his pockets. Up to the present the consigner or consignee of the case has not been discovered. Yesterday and early to-day an American Express wagon called for box marked as this one was, and it is believed that through this circumstance something more may be learned of the strange affair.
 The Palatia is freighter, every slow, and was longer than usual in making this trip. It is believed that the man was in his perilous position at least fif- teen days

HORSE IHxETES AT YORK.
Two Horses Stolen on Crown Street
 Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday Afternoon.
 Reports were made to Captain Cowles of the detective bureau late yesterday afternoon that two teams had been stolen from Crown street, between Church and Orange streets. One was a bay horse, weighing about 300 pounds, attached to Concord wagon, and the other was bay pacer attached to a runabout wagon with red running gear The first mentioned rig belongs to Max E. Miller, of the Warner Miller com- pany, and the second to Arthur B. Treat, of the firm of sperry & Treat.
 Inquiries and reports concerning the missing teams were sent out to sur rounding towns. and from information secured by Captain Cowles last evening it Is thought that one rig was taken out towards Derby, while the other went to- wards Merden or New Britain. An outfit answering the description of MT. Treats was seen being driven through North Haven by young man early last evening.
 Both horses were hitched on Crown street, just below Church street, and disappeared about the same time. The line by which MT. Treats horse was hitched had been cut as though the out fit had been driven away in a hurry.
 There have been number of thefts of horses in Connecticut recently, and several have occurred in this vicinity. In Mount Vernon twelve were stolen within ten days, and in other places in various parts of the state horses have been taken. It is believed that an or ganized gang is at work.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
Blaze in tho l.. Kaufman Co.'S Store
 Quickly Put Out.


 Fire broke out last night about S:30 o'clock in the cellar of the firm of the l.. Kaufman company, 7S0 Chapel street, and did considerable damage, although the exact amount was not learned. Box 21 at the corner of Or ange and Chapel streets was pulled and the fire department responded quickly. Smoke was coming out of the windows and doors in the vicinity of the Kauf- man store, and the firemen lost no time in breaking in and locating the fire It evidently started in a pile of waste papers in the cellar of the store and gained headway before the department arrived. The flames and smoke shot up through the ventilating shaft to the roof three stories above. The heat was intense, but in q very few minutes the flames were under control A large crowd congregated near the scene and many thought that there was a serious fire raging within, as the smoke was dense.
 There were no lights in the Kaufman store and this made difficult work for the firemen.
 Chief Fancher said last night that he was unable to state the cause of the fire.

him, he in turn administered the oath l, to the members elect. The usual com- mittees were appointed to inform the president and the Senate that the
 House was organized and ready to do business, committee of three consist ing of Messrs. Payne, Bingham and Richardson was appointed to join a similar committee of the Senate and wait upon the president and inform him that Congress was ready to receive any communication he might have to make, the rules of the last House were adopted after a slight jar and then the biennial seat drawing took place. This last mentioned ceremony was robbed of much of its interest to-day by the fact that under the new arrangement of seats there are more than enough to go round an dthose whose names are drawn last do not suffer as they did on former occasions. The flower show, which is the great feature of the open ing day, was not as imposing as usual. More flowers than ever before were sent to members but after the drawing for seats the House adjourned, before third of them were brought into the hall.
 In the Senate Messrs. Dietrich and Willard of Nebraska, Gibson of Mon tana, and Kittredge of South Dakota were sworn in as senator's. MT Me Laurin dem., of South Carolina, offered joint resolution providing for the free admission of articles intended for ex- hibition at the Charleston exposition. Objection to immediate consideration was made by MT. Hoar, rep, of Massa- chusetts, who said no business should be transacted until the president had been informed that the Senate was in session.
 After the usual resolutions and the appointment of committee to notify the president that the Senate was in session, a recess of thirty minutes was taken.
 The Senate took q further recess un- til o'clock, to await the organization of the House and the appointmen of it's committee to wait upon the presi- dent. Senators Hale of Maine and Morgan of Alabama were appointed as the Senate committee.
 At o'clock the Senate reassembled. Senator Gamble announced the death of the late Senator Kyle, rep, of South Dakota, and the Senate adjourned until tomorrow.

THE MAYOR REFUSED TO SIGN
1H Y LSTI HATES SENT TO THE COM-
 MoN COUNCIL LAST NIGHT.

1 to tho Common Council--Goorge
 McCarthy Unanimously Chosen for
 Military Enrolling Officer.
 Prior to the meeting of the board of
 aldermen last evening the board of finance held a session for the purpose of signing the names of members to the copy of the estimtaes to be transmitted
 to the court of common council and copies for each of the members of the
 board of finance A number of copies members of the court of common coun- cil and in all these the names of all the members os the finance board, includ- ing the mayor. were printed below the list of recommended appropriation.
 When it came to signing the official autograph copies Mayor Studley. al- though present. did not sign No ques- offered until after the copies had been signed by all the members except the mayor and then the mayor referring to the copies in which his name was printed among those approving the ap- propriation said that he had thought 1t was understood that his name was not to appear. Controller Rowe, who had charge of the printing, said that he had not so understood. The mayors name was then crossed off from the lists to be distributed among the common council members
 At the close of the meeting Mayor Studley in explaining why he did not sign the estimates said Tn my opin- ion the department of public works will be crippled by the estimates. I think that the cut in the police payroll was unwarranted Six members are enough to sign the report and I thought that I would let it go without my name" The mayor said that he didn't think that the appropriation of $21 300 was enough for repair of crushed stone pavements. He said that those pave ments were going to ruin and that it would cost twice as much the next year to put them back in proper condition if an inadequate sum was now appro- priated to keep them up The s5,000 ap- for repairing other streets he thought was too small and did not think that $2s.000 was enough for street sprinkling.
