TARIFF REVISION.
VIII Not be Mentioned in the Presi-
dents Message 10 Congress : steel
Association Opposes ReciprOcity.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 14.-S. o.
Haynes, publisher of a commercial
newspaper in New York, speaking at
the dinner given by the Northwestern
Manufacturers association here last
night, stated that President Roose-
welt had given positive assurance that
his message to congress will contain
no reference to revision OF the tariff.
The president had said that this omis-
sion would be made in the interests of
conservatism.
The president stated, however, in
the interview, that he favored placing
the tariff on Il strict business basis,
keeping it apart from political manip-
ulation. Mr.. Haynes felt assured
that another and more determined
effort would be made at the coming
session to secure the appointment of
a tariff commission. Many senators
and congressman had expressed a
desire to bring about a revision that
would meet the requirements, impose
no hardships on present business in
terests and furnish way to make
changes without the prospect of en-
dangcring the present commercial
prosperity of the country.
Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-THE Amer
lean Iron and Steel association has
officially notified Theodore L. Search,
chairman of the committee of ar
rangements for the coming reciproc-
ity convention at Washington, that it
will not be represented and its man
agement asserts that every subsidiary
organization in those trades has
taken similar action. At the head
quarters of the American Iron and
Steel association it is announced that
all in the trade are strongly opposed
to having any subject brought before
the coming congress that will affect
the present tariff laws.

VICTOR AND vANOuIsHED.
Both Were Honored by New Workers
-Banquets are Given TO Seth Low
and Richard Croker.

New York, Nov. 15.--The election Of
a fusion ticket on November
was celebrated last night by din
ner given by the City club in the Mad
ison Square Garden concert hall.
Five hundred and twenty members
of the club and the guests were seat
ed at the table, while 400 people were
in the boxes. The dinner was given
to Mayor-elect Seth Low; President
elect of the Board of Aldermen
Charles " Fornes, Comptroller-elect
Edward NJ. Grout and District Attor-
ney-elect William Travers Jerome.
The first token of the jubilation Of
the evening was lusty cheering when
Mayor-elect Low and Justice Jerome
arrived. This demonstration was re-
Dewed when the two ascended the
stage a few moments later and took
their places at the guest table. Whee-
Ter II. Peckham, president of the City
club presided, while at the table were
men prominent in the fusion move
ment as well as many from out Of
the city.
Mr.. Low and the other candidates
made speeches and the mayor-elect
made the statement that no use of
sure the success of the next admin
istration, and also that no person or
organization could demand patronage
as right. There was some laughter
when he said that he did not mean
that he would select associates of
the enemy, and there was more ap-
plause when he announced that while
partisanship on his own side would
not bar the way to appointments, yet
aspirants must base their hopes chief
ly on merit.
Richard Croker was the guest of
honor last night at dinner rendered
him at the Democratic club by the
board of governors and the officials
of the club. Covers were laid for "a.
At the conclusion of the dinner u
handsome silver jardiniere was pre-
sented to Mr.. Croker. President
John Fox, who presided at the dinner,
made the presentation speech. Dur
ing the course of his remarks, Presi-
dent Fox, speaking on behalf of the
club, thanked Mr.. Croker for his serv-
ices as leader of the democratic party
in this city, and for the work he had
done in behalf of the Democratic
club.
Speeches were made by nearly
every one present. Each had a word
of gratitude to say to Mr.. Croker for
the work he had done in the past on
behalf of the democratic party. The
trend of the speeches was to the ef-
feet that Mr.. Croker would undoubt-
edly act as the leading spirit in the
movement to unite the democratic
party in the state and to lead it
again in the municipal election.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 15.-The Union
Pacific Railroad Co. has settled by
agreement with the city of Omaha

MONEY LOST In GAMBLING.
They Tried to Heat the Wall Street
Game and Matter of Course Got
the Worst of the Dcai-A Sensation
at Williamsburg, N. ".

New York. Nov. Rehabilitation
amounting, it is claimed, to 100000
have been discovered in the accounts
of the Williamsburg Savings bank, an
institution conducted at Williams
burg, in the suburbs of Brooklyn.
Gen. J. V. Meserole. the president
of the bank, is authority for the
statement that the parties implicat-
ed in the affair are Harry f. Corbett,
a former paying teller of the bank,
who died November >, and George
Zollinhofer, a receiving teller, who, it
is alleged. gave the first information
leading to the discovery.
The bank is fully protected, it is
said, by the bonds of both Corbett
and Zollinhofer. Harry f. Corbett
had been in the employ of the bank
for IS years. He was looked upon
as man of exemplary habits and not
the slightest suspicion attached to
him up to the time of his death.
According to Gen. Meserole on Fri
day of last week George Zollinhofer,
one of the receiving tellers, went to
Cashier William Burns and confessed
to him that he (Iollinhofer) and Cor
'bett had for the past two or three
years taken funds from the institu-
ton for the purpose of stock gam
bling, and that so far as he could es-
innate the amount that had been lost
was between $4,000 and 100000. CASH
ier Burns had Zollinhofer repeat his
confession to President Meserole and
a meeting of the trustees of the bank
followed.
The examination is not yet con-
cluded, but irregularities enough
were found to show that Zolinhofer
had not exaggerated the extent Of
the defalcatIons.
Zollinhofer, after making his con-
fesion. placed himself in the hands of
the trust companies and is aiding
them in their investigation of the
books. He was, with one exception,
the oldest employe of the bank, hav-
ing been with the institution for 33
years. He is 60 years old. Corbett
died at his home in Brooklyn, of pneu-
monia, on November >. He and his
wife We're highly respected.
The depositors are in no danger,
as the bank has a surplus of over Ss,-
100000 above the deposits of $40,-
0OO,O
Zollinhofer has not been arrested,
but will be under surveillance.

Youths Companion. Standard silver
is remarkable for this property, which
precisely resembles the flowing of a
viscous fluid. The flow takes place
when the metal is subjected to rolling,
stamping or hammering, and the par
ticles of the metal are thus carried
into the sunlten parts of the die with
out fracturing, and perfect impress
sion is produced.

STRIKERS LOSING GROUND.
Traffic On Pittsburg Roads Will Be
Resumed Today.

Plttsburg. Nov. 28.-The switchmen's
strike gives evidence today Of rapid
disintegratiOn and the officials of the
different roads declare that traffic will
be resumed as usual by tomorrow. This
result is attributed largely to the ac-
ton of the Brotherhood of Trainmen
in deciding against assistance and
sympathy for the strikers.
There appears to be no radical
change in the strike situation tonight.
The strikers are still making the claim
that the roads are badly crippled and
the company officials are just as pos
tive in their statement that tSere is
practically no strike except on the Al
legheny Valley road which they say
IS gradually resuming normal condi-
tons.
At a meeting of strikers today fifty
three new members were taken in.
