Washington, May 3.-The recent rebel
lion of Representative Babcock of Wiscon-
sin and the heresies taught by Mr.. Rob-
erts, the director of the mint, and others
concerning the tariff, are causing consid-
erable alarm among the high protection
leaders of the republican party, and as
soon as the president returns from Cali
fornia they will try, to secure his infu-
ence in silencing those that are advocat-
ing reduction of duties
This will be difficult, if not impossible.
because President Mckinley, as loyal
protectionist as there is in the repub-
lican party, is himself of the opinion that
notifications in the tariff must be made to
meet changed conditions. and that it is
wise for the republican party to make
them voluntarily at the next presidential
campaign
In other words, President Mckinley is
strong believer in the reciprocity theory,
and considers it the best policy to pro-
mote the foreign trade by exchanging tar
iff concessions with the countries whose
markets We are seeking. He realizes that
we must cut down duties sooner or later,
and he is in favor of discriminating in the
interest of the countries that will recipro-
cate.
Hanna's Position.
Senator Hanna says that he can speak
only for himself He does not. presume to
direct the policy nor express the sentf-
ments of the republican party nor of the
administration, but in his humble opinion
the Dingley tariff bill is as perfect an ex-
ample of scientific legislation as was ever
enacted by the congress of the United
States or any other legislative body. It
represents the experience and the learning
OF half century and it would be a wicked
mistake to repeal or amend 1t. He savs.s
appreciate that industrial conditions have
changed considerably since that law was
passed, and that certain modi6cations rnus+
De made sooner later by adjusting the
raIes or duties, but these notifications must
De done by the men who framed the original
law IN the interest of the industries which
it was intended to protect
Reciprocity the Best Way.
ySeH' tHlHk IL may De accom-
phsned by the negotiations of reciprocity
treaties and wherever we remove or reduce
the duties upon articles from any particular
country, we should try to induce the gov
ernment OF that country to make concessions
in favor of our products. In other words, it
is good policy to use this opportunity to Sc
cure advantages for agricultural and
mechanical exports in the foreign market
don't believe there is any general oppo-
sition to the principle of reciprocity in con-
gress, although l admit that it is sometimes
difficult to adjust legislation to please all
conflicting interests. The failure of the
French reciprocity treaty at the last session
was due to misunderstanding and rivalry be-
tween two committees rather than opposition
to its provisions or the principle it repre-
sented.

ACT AT SAN FRANCISCO
Department of Justice Officials
Guess at His Plan.
NEW CONGRESSIONAL CHAIRMAN
Mr.. BabcOck of Wisconsin, 1t Is
Thought, VIII Retire From
the Office.

From The Journal BureGu, RO0Ds IS, POst
Building, Washington.
Washington, May 3.-Oficials Of the de-
partment Of justice are guessing that the
president will not take any action in the
Mckenzie case until he gets to San Fran
cisco. where he will have an opportunity
to consult with the judges Of the federal
court.
This guess is based on the fact that
the president did not take any action on
the attorney generals telegram sent him
at New Orleans on Wednesday. He will
not get the papers in the case until he
reaches El Paso. Saturday night or Sun
day morning. He may act Immediately
after getting them-but the outlook is
now, in the opinion of officials that moth
ing will be done until San Francisco is
reached.

Helena, Mont, May 3.-The coal mines
at Red Lodge, Carbon county, owned by
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
and those of Bridges, owned by Senator
w. A. Clark, have closed on account of
the labor trouble, throwing 600 men out
of employment.
There is said to have been little
difference between employers and en-
ployed, the trouble originating from the
outside interference of agitators. 1t is
reported that the eight-hour law had
something to do with the trouble, the
miners having demanded eight hours
work and ten hours pay.

German Diet Is Called for a
Joint Session,
MESSAGE FROM THRONE
DR.. Won MIGUEL Forced to Resign as
Minister of Finance.
CANAL BILL WILL BE PUSHED
Lower House VIII BE Dissolved
Until Fall When the Bill Will
Be ReintrOduced.

Berlin, May 3.-The chancellor, Count
Won Buelow, has notified the presidents
| that a joint sitting of the diet for to-
night has been summoned to hear a mes
sage from the throne.
1t Is learned authoritatively that DR..
Won Miguel, the Prussian minister Of
finance. has resigned and that his resig-
| nation has been accepted.
The liberal papers expect other resigna-
tions in the ministry, mentioning Baron
Won Hammerstein, minister of agriculture,
and Herr Brefeld, minister of commerce.
The National Zeitung expects that Herr
Thielen, minister of public works, will be
retained, thus expressing the governments s
purpose to adhere to the canal bill.
The fate OF the other ministers is un-
certain.
Press Comment.
The Kreuz Zeitung considers the pro-
rogation Of the diet a satisfactory solution
for the present confusion, as it will pre-
vent the conservatives and Emperor Will
liam from drifting further apart, which
end the liberals are trying to promote.
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung assumes
that Count Won Buelow advised the en-
peror to accept the prorogation. 1t ad-
mits it is a bitter pill for his majesty,
but proves his capacity as ruler, for his
wise resignation shows he is a master of

at the step but regrets it was made neces-
sary by an alliance of the conservatives
with the centrists, and says it presages
victory for the conservatives.
The liberal papers criticise the weak
ness of the government in merely ad-
journing, instead of deciding on a dissolu-
tion and new elections.
The Tageblatt says the step shows the
utter helplessness of the government, and
is a confession that they do not know

The Boersen Courier concludes that
Count Won Buelow lacks energy and man
agement.
AdjOurns With Cheers.

diet to-day the president, DR.. Kroecher,
announcing that at the joint session this
evening the diet would be closed sug-
gested that 1T would be useless to trans

hochs for the emperor.
Won Miguel Forced Out.
DR.. Won Miquers resignation was en-
forced, but instead of DR.. Won Lucanus
chief of the emperor's civil cabinet, who
usually bears such direct messages from
the emperor. it was Baron Won Wilmow-
ski, chief of the chancellerie who, in the
emperor's name, requested DR.. Won Miguel
to resign.
Cabinet Changes.
DR.. Won Posalowsky- -Wehner, secretary
of state for the interior, is expected to be
DR.. Won MiquePs successor, while General
Won Podbielsky succeeds Baron Won Ham
merstein as minister of agriculture, who
leaves office because of deafnes and gen.
eral debility.

also said to be going involuntarily.

ROCHESTER'S For several years
the business men Of
REQUEST FOR Rochester, Mimi,
have been anxious to
MAIL SERVICE. secure mail facilities
on the Winona &
Western railway between Rochester and
Simpson. Heretofore the railroad com
pany has declined to carry mail over this
part of its road for the maximum price
the postof1ee department offered, and
which is fixed by law.
Congressman Tawney, q few days ago.
presented petition from a large number
Of Rochester business men and also a let
ter from Postmaster Callahan. requesting
the establishment of this service. and if
that could not be done, the re-establish-
ment Of the star route between Simpson
and Rochester
This morning Mr.. Tawney received a
letter from the second assistant postmas-
ter general, saying that if the railroad
company cannot be induced to carry the
mail until the next weighing at the rate of
S42.25 per mile per annum and the
Rochester people will so notify the de-
partment. the matter of the establish
ment Of the star route Between the points
named will be promptly considered.
The postmaster general also says the
government cannot relieve the railroad
company IrOm lermlnaI service at RocheS-
ter. for this would be a violation of sec
tion 713 of the postal laws and regula-
tions Of 1893.
He further states that the request of
Mr.. Tawney that the route be weighed
and the compensation be based on the
average weight so ascertained, cannot be
granted because it is contrary to the rule
of the department to weigh railway mail,
save at the beginning Of the regular
quadrenniel period. To order weighing at
this time would divert a great deal of
mail between Winona and Rochester from
the Chicago & North Western. This mail
was weighed over the Chicago & North
Western and the pay Of that company for
carrying it was adjusted on that basis for
the full quadrennial term. A new weigh
ing would result in the governments pay-
ing two roads for carrying the same mail.

BABCoCK
MAY RETIRE FROM
CHAIRMANSHIP

Washington that
Representative Babcock of Wisconsin will
not succeed himself as chairman of the
republican congressional committee. The
members say Mr.. Babcock will not be
candidate for the position again, that he
accepted 1t last time under protest and is
anxious for somebody else to take the
place which carries much responsibility
and hard work without any practical per-
sonal return. The fact that Mr.. Babcock
has taken a radical position on the tariff
and thereby antagonized many republican
leaders insures that his desire TO retire
will be granted.
Gossip as to his successor Is already
heard. The majority of the congressional
committee is from the western states and
she chances are that some western man
will be favored. Mr.. Hull of Iowa has
been an efficient member of the committee
for years. He is now its treasurer and he
will probably be a candidate Mr.. Over
street Of Indiana, the committees secre-
tary, is also likely to be in the field Mr..
Sherman Of New York would also be a
strong man for the position, and many
western men would favor him. Loudens-
lagh Of New Jersey is perhaps entitled to
the place in view Of his eminent service
to the committee in years past, but it is
said the western members do not want
him.
Mr.. Babcock's successor will be chosen
next winter. The congressional commit
tee is composed of one member from each
state selected by the delegation from that
state. Mr.. Eddy is at present the mem
Der from Minnesota.
