earlier part of Chancellor Won BuelOw' s
speech. but their enthusiasm was re-
placed by gloomy silence when he an
nOunced that the new tariff bill repre-

through the note published in the
North German Gazette on Feb. l, warn
ing the tariff extremists against en-
dahsaring the tariff bill by insisting
on more further increase in the duties,
feels surer of his position with the
country behind him in checking the
landed interests demands. The agra
rians are also particularly feeling the

opinion that the governments firm
stand has convinced the mOderates that
they must accept the bill as it is or
get nothing.
