Milwaukee, jan 29-Emanuel Philip,
chairman Of the Milwaukee republican
county committe, who has just returned
from washington, says that Congressman
Babcock was rallying much support for his
tarlH reform measure, and that ne was re-
ce1ving great deal Of encouragement, es
pecially from the farming communities OF
Wisconsin and Iowa.
But most important developments are
looked for, however, In the fight on the
steel trust. as a result of letters from
large manufacturers throughout the coun-
try. complaining Of the treatment they are
receiving at the hands ofsthe trust. Mr..
Phillip says that Congressman Babcock
received a few days ago from the Falk
Manufacturing company of this city a
batch of correspondence between the COM
pany and one of the agencies OF the
trust, which indicates that manufacturers
OF finished products who are in compe-
tition with the trust will have to close
down unless they find relief.
The Falk company says the trust re-
fuses to quote it prices on its product
wherever it. comes in contact with the
trade controlled by the trust. Recently
the Falk company secured a large con-
tract and asked the trust tokquote prices
on certain large shipment that would
be necessary, and it received in reply from
the agent Of the trust letter saying that
it could not furnish the goods unless the
Falk company would tell him (the agent
where the finished article was going.
In other words, it is alleged that the
trust will not sell its product to any
manufacturer who is in competition with
it in the finished article. r.
Mr.. Philip says that the complaint OF
the Falk company is only one Of large
number that is on file with Mr.. Babcock,
and that Mr.. Babcock is preparing a
speech on this phase Of the trust ques-
tion which he expects will be in the ma
ture of a sensation. go.

London, Jan. 29.-In the house of COM
mons Mr.. Balfour, government leader,
announced that the government of Hol-
land had made proposals for peace be-
tween England and the Beers in South
Africa last Saturday, which proposals were
now under consideration by the British
cabinet. Mr.. Balfour's' statement sur
prised the house, although nobody had
given credence to the diplomatic denials
of the significance of the recent visit of
DR.. Won Kuyper, the Netherlands prime
minister to London. The report imme-
diately gained belief that the Beers had
abandoned their claim for independence,
and were putting an immediate general
| amnesty in place of that claim. There
was a marked feeling of optimism in the
/ Hobbies, where it was, believed that a
proclamation OF amnesty might be ex-
pected at once. ,
Mr. Balfour's statement did not reach
| the city until the stock exchange had
closed, but an excited market began in
the street, eliminating in a scene Of dis
order and excitement. 1t was impossible
to obtain quotations Operators every
where are insisting that the end of the
war has come, and heavy boom may set
in at any time now. iE
Most significant of all is the admission
of the first openly announced overtures for
peace that have come direct to the Brit
ish government from Independent neu-
trail power, and not from the commau-
does in the field to Lord Miner as they
would come from defeated force to the
official representatives Of it's conquerOrs.

London. Jan 29.-The Daily News an
nounces that it recently sent Dr.. Bisschop,
lawyer who represented the Neither
lands before the compensation commits
sion in London, to. Belgium and Holland
to discover whether the Boer delegates
were willing to make overtures to Great
Britain with the. view Ito discussing peace
on the lines laid down by Lord Rosebery
in his Chesterfield speech, namely, that
the Transvaal and the Orange River colo
ny be granted autonomy on the Canadian
model: that the military occupation
should not be unreasonably prolonged;
that complete amnesty be granted to the
Beers and Cape Colony rebels and that
money be granted to the Beers to enable
them to start farming again.
DR.. Bisschop had long and serious int err
views with Messrs. Fischer and Wolmar-
ems and DR.. Leyds. He did not see Mr..
Kruger, who, Dr.. Bisschop was assured,
had delegated his authority to the other
Boer representatives. The delegates
agreed to consider the proposals., but they
have since informed the News that they
preferred not, to diYulge the results OF
their consideration. The News says it
does not expect that the proposals that
have now emanated from the Dutch gov
eminent will be in accord with DR.. Bis

NEW VIEW ON CUBA
United States Not the Country to
Appeal To.
BRUSSELS CONGRESS RIGHT PLACE
Chief Wiley of the Bureau of Chem
istry Says Cause of Trouble Is
European Overproduction.

Washington, JAN 29-Dr. F. G. Wiley,
chief of the bureau of chemistry, depart
ment of agriculture, was before the ways
and means committee to-day, in connec-
t1on with the Cuban reciprocity question.
His statement covered the scientific
phases of the production of sugar from
beets, cane etc. He showed the COM
parative insignihcance of the beet sugar
industry in 1858, when most of the sugar
was made from cane. Since then the
conditions have changed until now the
greater part Of the sugar is from beets.
Much the larger portion Of this production
was in Europe. DR.. Wiley expressed the
extfnguish the cane product, as the latter
had certain special uses.
! Dr. Wiley's emphatic declaration that
Cuba's appeal TO the United States was
misplaced and would not afford relief at
tracted much attention. This came after
he had shown that she European bounty
and cartel systems were the guiding fac
tors in the sugar situation. The Cuban
planters had prospered, he said, under
Spanish regime, and why should they now
lay their misfortune to the breaking of
the Spanish yoke? Under such circum
stances it might be best to lead them
back to Spain. DR.. Wiley said:
The cause OF the trouble they are hghting
Is not In the tariff duties Of the United States,
but is the oYerproduction OF sugar, due to
bounties granted by Europe. Their cause
should be pleaded in the parliaments Of Eu-
rope not that OF America. The place to
plead their cause is before the congress Of
Brussels not before the ways and means
committee Of the United States congress.
At another point DR.. Wiley said 1t was
q question whether the relief sought for
Cuba would have the effect of killing out
right the cane and beet sugar industries
of this country or merely paralyzing them.
But it seemed perfectly certain, he said
that there would be no further factories
and investments in this line in this coun-

TANKE JURY
Regular Panel and a Special
Venire Exhausted at
St. Peter.

Special to The Journal.
st. Peter, MINI, Jan. 29.-Only one
more juror was secured to-day for the
trial of Tanke, alleged murderer of John
Wellner.
The jurors now ready to be sworn are
Albert Hopp of St. Peter, Selmer Olson,
William Reinhart, Peter Sauer, George
Kohler, John Morgan and Anton Kackel,
all of Lake Prairie. :
The regular panel Of twenty four was
exhausted, as was a special venire of ten.
The court then ordered another special
venire of sixty, from which the remainder
are to be selected, if possible
Coroner Acts as Sheriff.
Sheriff. Mcmillan has been interested. in
the case since his incumbency of the Office
and it was largely through his efforts
that Mr.. and Mrs. Tanke were placed
under arrest. Because Of this the .attor-
neys for. the defense took advantage Of
the statute and filed an affidavit claiming
that because of prejudice he would not
faithfully discharge his duty. Jt.s
The work of subpoenaeing witnesses,
summoning jurors and serving all other
papers has therefore been taken out of
the hands of the sheriff and placed in the
hands Of the coroner. This is proba bly,
the first time such a course has been pur-
sued in the state and certainly the first
time in this district.
Mrs. Tanlxe's Story.
Mrs. Tankes story is that her hl1s-
band was enticed to the barn at 10 o'clock
at night, and shot down by two men, who
tied her to a chair until they had oppor-
tunity to escape. rE
The theory Of the prosecution is that
the murder occurred at 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon and was committed by the Tan
kes. e
Suspicious facts cited in support of this
theory are the marriage of Mrs. Wellner
to Frank Tanke within year after Well
ner's murder; their previous intimacy and
her alleged inf1delity to her first husb band

nature Of the indictment against him the
authorities are not ready to disclose.
According to Mr.. Folk the $780, in bills

without the claimant by that act showing
himself to be guilty of felony.
