Won BUEL0W DRAWS CROWD
Expected to Talk About Venezuela,
but Instead Refers to the
Tariff Bill.

BERLIN, Dec. 11.-Chancellor Won Bue-
lows presence in the Reichstag today
caused expectation that he would make
statement regarding Venezuela and the
house was filled. but he did not refer to
international politics.
He dwelt on the tariff bill and said that
II the reduction of duty on agricultural
machinery and implements. as provided for
in the Kardorff amendment, was adopted
the federated governments would take the
changes into serious consideration.
They would not consent, however, to hx-
ing minimum duties on animals and meats.
The government in making the new COM
mercial treaties would guarantee to the
domestic animal industry protection enough
to insure its prosperous development and
would accept no propositions in treaties
which would render 1t impossible to adopt
the necessary veterinary measures to pre-
vent animal diseases coming into Germany
from abroad.
The chancellor's statement was greeted
with applause from the right party and
with derisive laughter from the members
of the left party.

GOLD MONEY is DISCUSSED
Senate Committee Talks with Wright
on Staple Philippine
Currency.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE senate
committee on the Philippines today dis
cussed with Vice Governor Wright the
monetary situation in the archipelago. 1t
was generally agreed that there would be
difficulties in changing the currency in the
islands, but the consensus of opinion was
that the unit of value should be a gold
peso Of twelve and nine-tenths grains Of
gold, which is one-half the value of the
United States gold dollar, and the peso in
silver should be made legal tender of equal
value to the unit.
Governor Wright and the committee also
agreed that United States currency should
not be made legal tender, as the silver dol
lar would then be worth twice as much as
the peso and thus encourage eounterfeiting.
Governor Wright said at present the
Mexican dollars were circulating at their
bullion value and banks were manipulating
them so az to make or cents each Gold
was held in the banks a commodity and
bought by merchants and others, who had
to pay therefor foreign obligations in gold.
The committee intends TO perfect the
currency bill at the earliest moment and
has begun to make amendments.

CAUSE OF DEATH A MYSTERY
Newsboy Dead in New York Park
with Head on Bundle of
Papers.

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.-Mystery surrounds
the death Of a boy about Is years Of age
whose body was found by a policeman lying
at one side of the bicycle path in Central
park, near Eighty-ffth street and opposite
the workshop Of the Department Of Parks.
One peculiar feature of the case is that
a costly silk muffer was found tied about
the boys neck. On the right side of his
face there was a lacerated wound on the
Jaw, which bore a resemblance to the bite
of some animal. On the right side of the
little fellows neck we're several dark-blue-
ish marks and three others on the left
side. Owing to the different opinions ex-
pressed by the coroner and an ambulance
surgeon regarding the wounds the police are
making an Investigation.
Lying on his back. the boys head rested
on bundle of newspapers. He was to all
appearances a newsboy, poorly clad and in
poor physical condition. In his pockets
serc found q pennies and three street car
transfers.
An ambulance surgeon, who examined the
body, said the cause of the boys death
could only be decided by an autopsy, and
he did not think the wounds could have
caused death.
