MRS. TINGLEY,s CAREER HERE.
Much Evidence Concerning II Kept Out
OF Her Libel Suit.


SAN DIRoo, Cal, Dec. 29.-In Mrs. Ting
ley's libel suit against the Los Angeles
Times Judge Torrance to-day continued to
rule out any evidence in New York depo-
sitions bearing on the woman's record
when she was spiritual medium and
massage operator in that city.
Mrs. Lena Morris OF 100 West Sixteenth
street New York, made a deposition COVER
ing the period of eleven years when she was
janitress Of the building at lO7 West Sixty
eighth street, where Mrs. Tingley lived.
All the testimony about Mrs Tingleys
business and about girl who lived with
her was stricken out.
The same fate befell much of the testi-
mony OF John NJ. Price OF 3i2 West Sixty
ninth street, New York. Price had at
tended theosophical meetings held by Mrs
Tingley. He said:
u know that she was given to going into
frances as a medium. I have seen her in
frances giving forth prophecies that never
came true. She used clairvoyance in all
her doings In theosophy.
An attempt to show that Mrs. Tingley
used hypnotic power was ruled out after a
long discussion. Price was asked as to
what Mrs. Tingley had said when she came
out OF trance. He said sShe claimed
that the late Nine. Blavatsky and the late
William Q. Judge spoke to her while she
was In trance state"

CUBAN TREATY DEBATE.

HAVANA. Dec. cS.-President Palma has
decided not TO call a special meeting OF the
Senate before Jan. u TO discuss the rec
iprocity treaty with the United States.
II u variously estimated that the Gus
toms receipts will be reduced from 81 900 900
to $4,000. 900 under the provisions Of the
treaty as 1t now stands. In order to meet
this reduction some Of the papers advocate
an increase in the duties on articles Of
general consumption, such as -four. hams
and lard. The duties were greatly re-
duced at the beginning Of the American
Intervention. These articles are almost
entirely supplied by the United States.
When the duty was reduced there was no
increase in the imports. Prices are low
now. and it Is argued that the duties can
therefore be made the same as they were
before the Intervention. II necessary, with
out causing much increase in the cost to
the consumer or q reduction in the i'm
ports. as the articles are in general demand.
II the duties are increased Cuba will. Of
course. give preferential rates to IT, United
States. It Is pointed out that the de-
crease in the duties on some articles is
to be made up by increasing the duties on
others In which other nations compete
with the United States. the preferential
treatment Of the United States will be
increased. A tendency is apparent to pro-
tect local industries
Mr.. 8 Iuiers. the American Minister. has
commenced negotiations with President
Palma for treaty ceding coaling stations

TO STUDY GERMAN TRUSTS.
Imperial Government Orders an Investi

LONDON. Dec 29.-In his annual report on
the trade OF W0rtemberg. Frederick Rose
the British Consul there. says that trusts
have increased to such an extent and have
become so far reaching that the Imperial
Government has decided to institute an
investigation into their formation. organiza-
lion and effects on trade. The results will
be made known in a special official publica-
tion. In some cases exaggerated demands
by trusts led to the formation OF opposit ion
trusts
The formation Of these Is fraught with a
certain element Of danger. as they undergo
the risk Of being undersold by the older
and more experienced organizations. Mean
while the principal German trusts are TAX
ing steps to form a combination OF all the
trusts in the empire. which for the present
will be affiliated with the Association of
German Manufacturers. The first step
taken by the new organization will probably
be to use its influence to prevent any State

Tho action Of the New York University
professors in refusing to attend the inter-

on expressed was that the resentment OF
New York University at not having been
admitted TO membership was premature
and not called for. Prof A. o. Leuschner
OF the University Of California, speaking
for the allied universities. said
We regret that New York University
will not join US at the banquet Tomorrow
night. Its application for admission into
the association has neither been accepted
nor refused The association is still young
and hrs not reached the point where the
questit n Of membership has been definitely
determined. All the universities now in
the assocs ton are charter members, and
1t was thought best at first to draw a mar
row circle with the expectation that the
organization would soon expand. Some
institutions we're left out which should
perhaps have been included. but the found
ers did not want TO make any mistake in
its membership.
mo new members have been elected
since the association was founded. II
action had been taken in any instance New
York University might have had cause for
complaint, but 1t has no more ground for
illfeeling than any other institution not
comprised in the association. But that
twenty-four men will not be at the banquet
tonight will not make the slightest bit Of
difference.
We are not yet clear az to what shall
be the scope or work Of the association and
this question must be disposed of before
We can form any permanent basis upon
which to elect new members.
Yale will present q report on the member
ship OF the association Tomorrow after
noon, and the question will theL come up
formally for the first time. though no new
member can be elected under the consti-
tuition for year at least"

HERMANN CALLED on TO RESIGN.
| Friction Between Secretary Hitchcock
and the Land once Commissioner.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 2o.-Secretary Hitch
cock, after consultation with the President,
has called upon Binger Hermann. Com
missioner Of the General Land Office, for
his resignation, and Mr.. Hermann will
submit it Immediately. to take effect on
Feb. /. The cause of the enforced resigna
tion is friction between the Secretary and
the Commissioner in the administration of
the public land business. There are some
ccntributory causes, but this is the chief
reason.
Commissioner Hermann's resignation has
been looked forward to in Administ ration
circles for more than a year. In the sum-
mer Of 1901 President Mckinley told Mr..
Hermann that he would. upon receiving his
resignation, appoint him to some other
place in the Government, and the Com
missioner asked that he might be allowed
to continue until after the Oregon elections
in the summer of the present year. The
cause OF this request was supposed TO be Mr..
Hermann's candidacy for the United States
Senate. The Oregon election took place,
but MIR. Hermann did not resign.
The friction between Secretary Hitchcock
and Commissioner Hermann did not dimin-
ish, however, and the result was the call
for the Commissioners resignation few
days ago.
The complaint made against Commits
sioner Hermann by Secretary Hitchcock
is that he is lax in his methods Of admins
tration and that the special agents of the
Land Office under his direction do not use
sufficient care in their investigation of land
cases. Another criticism is that Mr.. Her
mann appointed to a place in his Office last
summer a man who had just been dis
charged from the Geological Survey for
stealing Government publications and SELL
ing them 1t was charged tlat MIR. Her.
mann knew Of the mans guilt and that the
man had escaped a criminal prosecution
only through the mercy Of the Interior
Department.
Commissioner Hermann will 60 to OREGON
later in the winter to promote his candi-
dacy for the United States Senate, and II he
fails to be elected will probably return here
