STRIKERS IN AUSTRIA.
Soldiers Called Out to, Maintain the
 Peace.

Trieste, Austria, Feb. 15.-Crowds thronged the streets this morning, but military patrols keep strikers and the public moving. Squares and public build ings are occupied by soldiers and large contingents of the military forces are ready for action. Business is suspended. A number of those wounded when troops on the plaza Grande fired into the mob yesterday have died.
 Many black flags were flying this after noon. and. mobs paraded the streets. smashing the windows of those who did not display mourning. The result was that there were repeated encounters be- tween the rioters, soldiers and police. and many arrests were made. One de- tachment of troops which was attacked retaliated by firing on the mob. Three rioters were killed and four were wounded.
 The Burgomaster, who is president of the arbitration tribunal, announced that it had been decided to comply with the demands of the striking stokers.
 The Government has applied special regime to the Trieste district, and has suspended the ordinary civil rights.
 The announcement that 1t had been de- cided to concede the demands of the strikers had tranquilizing effect this evening.
 The total number of persons killed is six and a score were wounded.

VISITED THE ILLINOIS.
Admiral von Baudissin Declares Her
 Magnificent Vessel.


 New York, Feb. 15.-Rear-Admiral Count von Baudassin of the Hohenzol- Tern, inspected the German Emperor's yacht Meteor at Shooters Island today and expressed the highest admiration of the vessel. Before visiting the yatcht, the Admiral called upon Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans on board the battleship Illinois.
 CNlnt von Baulissin. accompanied by Captain von Holleben, Lieutenant won Haxthausen and Consul General Buenz. left the Hohenzollern and boarded the navy yard tug Narkeeta, which had been sent in charge of Captain Clifford West U. s. Navy, to convoy them to the Hi ] nois. As the Narkeeta approached the battleship, the Admiral was greeted with the customary salute of thirteen guns and at the gangway he was met by Ad- miral Evans and his staff. the marine guard saluting and the band playing the German national anthem.
 It was Admiral Baudissin's first visit to an American battleship. and he made a careful inspection, declaring her to be a magnificent example of the most ad- Vanced naval architecture.
 After an hour. the visitors again board ed the Narkeeta and started for Shooters Island where the Admiral made a close inspection of the Meteor which he de- clared to be beautiful model. admirably constructed. After lunch at the ship yard. the visitors returned to IIohenzol- Tern at D. m.

TARIFF BILL IN DANGER
AGRARIANs HAVE THE GOV
 EMINENT IN A HOLE. 2,
Majority of the Committee Continues To Vote Amendments, Despite the Warnings-Herr Schmidt's
 Company in Court.

Berlin, Feb. 15.-The prospects of the tariff bill grow more dismal. The ma jority of the committee continues to vote amendments against the warnings of thd Government. The amendment adopted yesterday fixing January l. 1905, for den- nitely putting the new tariff law in force' is a step of the Agrarians. and is in- tensely embarrassing for the Government since it is not certain when the treaty negotiations can be concluded and the amendment is plainly designed to compel the Government to invite tariff wars, through denunciation of the present treaties before new ones are concluded.
 The Agrarians. in discussing the ameno- ment. showed their usual anti-AmericaN animus Count von Kanitz. the Agrarian leader, again argued that the United States could not afford tariff war with Germany, saying it would be ooWnright suicide owing to the heavy excess or American exports to Germany. The Vossische Zeitung answers this assertion by showing that the immense German imports of raw materials from the United states are necessary-cotton, 250,OO0O OOO marks; corn, l0i000,000 marks; copWr, 1Ol OOO GOO marks; lard, 69,OOJ,OOO marks, patroleum. 6S,OO0.000 marks, etc.
 The trial of the officers of the Trebor- Trocknung grain drying) Company or Cassel, caused a great sensation. The trial brought out the history of the com pany's fneteoric career. showing 1t to have been gigantic swindle from the beginning, though Director Schmidt suc- ceeded in deceiving the Board of Over seers until the crash came, They re- garded him as financial genius and trusted him completely while distributing 50 per cent dividends from fictitious profits, practicing wholesale operations in financial bills, hoodwinking the Leiuziger Bank and his own overseers, and making immense advances.
 The evidence indicated that the company never earned an honest dividend, and that it was d humbug throughout. The concern was founded in lSs9 with a capi- tai of $50, 900 marks for utilizing the waste products of breweries. Later it purchas- td q patent wood distilling method which proved worthless. Nevertheless Herr Schmidt captured the confidence of the nublic and was able to raise the com pany's capital to 2O000 900 marks. He established branch wood distilleries in all the leading continental countries, not one of which made expenses. The over ,eers confessed that they were so fasci- mated by Herr Schmidt that they trusted him without any examination of the af- fairs of the company.

REDUCTION OF REVENUE
Cuban Reciprocity to Be Con-
 Sidered Next.
MT. Roosevelt VIII Decide That Admiral schley and the Captains Arc Responsible for the Sam
 tiago Naval Victory.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The Post tomor- row will say, concerning the conference of the President with Republicans of the House and Senate at the White House. that the chief topic was the Ways and Means Committees bill for the reduction of war revenue taxes. The Post will say that Speaker, Henderson and Representa- tive Grosvenor explained the reason for pushing tho measure through the House without permitting amendment, the req son being that they feared that the re- opening Of the whole tariff question should any other course be adopted The Post further will say:
 'The conference. 1t Is understood, re- suited in the President consenting to the plans of the House leaders and in- forming them that he desired to have the war revenue reduction bill disposea of as quickly as possible. He shared the belief of the Speaker and MT. Grosvenor that delay was menacing to the chance of the bill passing.
 Ut was decided that conference of the Republican members of the Commit tee on Ways and Means should be heid immediately after the war revenue Dill passed the House, for the purpose of as- pertaining how the members stand on the Presidents proposition for reduction in the tariff on Cuban sugar. It was agreed that this should be the next important matter taken up in the House.
 The Schley case was also under dis cussion at the conference, the President being anxious that his disposition of the case should not be followed by action in Congress-. Speaker Henderson was able to assure the President that legislation could be blocked in the House, but 1t was pointed out to him by the Senators that the situation in the Senate was different, the more liberal rules of that body allow ing any resolution to be considered If 1t commanded a majority vote.
 "The Presidents views regarding the Schley case became generally known last night, as the result of the conferences. It is said that he will not undertake to discuss in his review any of the events which occurred prior to the battle cf Santiago, on the ground that if Schley's s conduct was reprehensible. 1t was con- doned by the Navy Department and by President Mckinley. when Schiey's pro- motion was recomniended. As for the battle of Santiago. the President Is in- clined to the opinion. according to his visitors, that the victory was won by all the captains, and that credit cannot, therefore be given exclusively to Schley, although the latter acted courageously and with the Oregon succeeded in pre- venting the escape of the Colon"

most fittingly by recalling how he Tea IL from disasters ever more crushing tnarty years ago to a series of brilliant victories and long season of patriotic usefulness If there be any difference in the condi- tions of the Democratic party at the beginning of 1902 and its condition at the close of 1872, it Is that it's prospects now are les desperate than they seemeo to be then. The deefat of the party then was so overwhelming that it's final destruction was announced by the oppo- sition, just as Republican orators and newspapers affect to believe that It's ex- tinction has been ireversibly decreed py recent reverses
 "Rpublican ascendancy seemed so secure that in 1874 it was difficult to ma a candidate who would accept. Yet when the votes were counted at the close of election day it was found that Re- publican supremacy was subverted by revolution bewildering in its complete ness. The house of representatives which had been overwhelmingly Republi- can became Democratic by an equally decisive preponderance. States which had ben loyal to. the Republican gparty since its foundation, elected, Democratic administrations. and Samuel J.. Tilden was elected Governor by majority or almost equal proportions. The party which had been pronounced dead, Rwoke to life. If Democracy is to win m i9uz' it must accept the lesson taught by Iii- den in 1874"
 'iOur opponents" said he. differ more widely on great public questions than we do, but among Republicans divergence of views never interferes with their co- operation in pursuit of office. Demo crats will sacrifice all prospects Of omce rather than suppress or compromise an opinion" S
 Mir. Cochran sa'a there was no need to seek an issue and added: "lmperiaiism with its inseparable object, plunder' was the issue in 1874. as it Is and must DC the issue now. The same predatory pur- pose dominated the Republican party then that dominate 1t now. It's defeat IS e1entiaI to the safety of the republic now as it was then"
 ..If Democrats" said he remain put faithful to the fundamental principles which Jefferson formulated. Jackson maintained and which Tilden revived then in 1902 .Tilden's leadership will re- ce;ve an endorsement more decisive than TiIden's candidacy received in 1874.
 Edward M. Shepard was the last speak CT. He said, in part: 'The duty ana the interest of the Democratic party are to do either more or less than to adhere to it's own well-settled and traditional doc trines, which never were more useful or timely than they are this very evening Our party has stood, and will stand, TOT Democratic self-government wherever the American flag floats"
