GERMAN TARIFF BILL
Passes Second Reading-Von Buelow'.
Speech Disappointing.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE tariff bill passed
it's second reading, Thursday by 1874 to
136 votes, on Baron Won Kardroff's mo-
ton and the parliamentary questions
growing out of it, caused the violent
scenes of the recent weeks. The mo-
ton embraced number of amend
ments, the result of the compromise
agreement between the majority parties
and the government. Yet the bill is
not considered to be in it's final shape.
The Reichstag will meet again. Sat-
urday, and if in agreement will then
proceed to pass the third reading of the
bill.
Chancellor Won Buelow's speech,
Thursday, was disappointing. Both
sides of the House considered it too
vague.
Chancellor Won Buelow's presence in
the Reichstag caused expectation that
he would make n statement regarding
Venezuela and the House was filed.
But he did not refer to international
politics.
Herr Eebel, the Socialist leader. some
what violently attacked the majority
party's arbitrary methods.
After further speeches by Herren
Edward Mueller and Gothein, to which
the majority refused to reply, a motion
closing the debate was carried by 1875 to
113 votes.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.
The Senate Committee Concludes
Hearings on the Measure.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The hearings
on the immigration bill by the Senate
committee on immigration were con-
cluded. today. The testimony taken. to-
day, was largely i'm the interest of leg
islatiOn and a willingness was mani
tested on the part of the important
witnesses to submit to the elimination
of the provision for an educational test
should such action prove necessary to
secure the success of the bill.
Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton Frank Sargent said that while he
would prefer the retention of the edu-
cationaI requirement, he recognized
the fact that that feature could be
sacrificed without destroying the eff
cacy of the bill. With the other por-
tions of the bill unimpaired he believed
that most of the undesirable illterates
could be kept under other restrictions.
Mr.. Sargent made an urgent plea for
retention of the SO head tax. He urged
increased vigilance on the Mexican
frontier and said that he recently had
had personal observation of the SNUG

Der of Mexican poems who We're willing

treated just as slaves. They were find
ing employment in the mines of Colo
RADIO and New Mexico.
Mr.. james Farquhar. eX-congressman
and ex-member of the industrial com
mission, also indicated Willingness to
have the educational test dropped.
Robert Watchorn, in charge of the
United States immigration inspection
service in Canada. with headquarters
ut Montreal. supplied the committee a
great deal of information concerning
the operations of the inspection system
On the Canadian border. He said the
bill would be improved if all the provis-
ions relating to Canada should be
stricken out. except Section 80. placing
the entire regulation of border immi-
grafton i'm the hands of the immigration
! bureau. He said that at present CANA

Secretary Moody said, as he left the
executive offices after the meeting, that
this government will not send. at pres

HOT HEADS WEAKEN.
Venezuela Now Turns to Us to
Secure Arbitration.
Minister Bowen Instructed to Use
Good Offices to that End.
to Settle.

Washington. Dec. IA cablegram
received at the state department, to-
day. from Minister Bowen at Caracas.
says that the Venezuelan government
| has requested him to propose to Great
Britain and Germany that the ditiicul-
| ties arising out of the claims for al
legged damages and injuries to British
and German subjects during the civil
war be submitted to arbitration.
In conformity with the understand
ing already reached with the repre-
sentatives of the British and German
governments here, this proposition
from President Castro will be duly laid
before those governments. the state de-
partment acting merely as channel OF
communication. Not much hope is en-
tertained Of the favorable reception OF
the proposition. for 1t is felt that the
difficulty has progressed too far for
settlement by the peaceful methods OF
arbitration. ja
The reprisals made by the Venexue.

have practically turned the relations
between the countries into those of real

taken during the war with China, wtfen
Notwithstanding the fact that the al

tured and distributed a number OF Chi

war was made.
Up to noon, today, no communica-
ton of the Venezuelan situation had
been received at the state department
either from the Berlin or London
governments. Secretary Hay went
immediately-to the cabinet meeting az
ter the receipt of Minister Bowen's
cablegrlm which accounts for the fact
that the proposition to arbitrate had
not been communicated to the Ger
man and the British ambassadors. In
the absence Of advices the officials
were not disposed to comment on the
likelihood OF President Castro's pro-
position being accepted. When Sec.
Hay returned from the cabinet the

BlONDIN DEFENCE.
Will Claim that Deed Was MOI
Committed on Green Street..
Medical Experts Called to Offset
Testimony for State.
Fact Remains That Mrs. elondin Was
Killed by Someone.

Boston, Dec. 12.-The government, to-
day, put in its last bit of evidence in
the Blondin murder trial. and, this af-
ternOOn, the defence outlined it's plan
Tor tearing down the case built VI
against the prisoner. Probably the
most important contention of the de-
fence is that the homicide, IF there
was a homicide" did not occur in the
house at 40 Green street, or even in the
country of Suffolk. The outline of the
case was very brief. covering hardly
more than 10 minutes and the first two
witnesses called to the witness stand in
the prisoners behalf were medical ex-
perts.
In substance the testimony of DR.,
Robert F.. Bell Of Lowell, was that the
conclusions of the governments medi-
cal experts that the woman whose body
was found in Chelmsford came to her
death by strangulation and that de-
capitation took place more than "a
hours after death were based upon in
sufficient data and might be erroneous.
During the examination of DIR. James
Ewing of Cornell University, the second
expert called, the now famous jack
knife again was referred to in connec-
ton with the case. DR.. Ewing was UNI
able to recall that the knife ever had
been shown him by Prof. Wood of Har-
ward, the governments expert.
