They Are Called in Question by sena-
tor Morgan.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Morgan,
chairman of the interoceanic canal com
mittee. today offered in the senate q
resolution questioning the credentials of
Tomas Herran. charge d'afaires of
Colombia, who recently signed with Sec
rotary Hay the isthmian canal treaty.
Mr.. Aldrich Immediately made the
point that the subject must be consid-
cred in executive session, and the senate
went into executive session on motion OF
Mr. Hale.
The point which Senator Morgan made
was that the validity OF the government,
which accredited Ierran to the United
States was doubtful and that it should
be inquired into by the United States.
AS soon as the doors were closed Mr..
Morgan took the floor and discussed the
subject at some length. He said there
had not been an election in Colombia
since 1898 and that it was questionable
whether the present acting government
had authority to send a representative
to the United States.
Senator Morgan's resolution relating
to Senior Herran was, after considera BILE
discussion in executive session referred
to the committee on foreign relations.

Tells About Meeting OF Eormer Grain
Men in Nebraska.


Secretary James Butler Of the Kansas
Grain Dealers association, returned
Sunday from the meeting Of the Ma
tional Grain Dealers association, held at
brings back the report of an euthusi-
astic congress of farmers Of the grain
belt.
I'VE had a great meeting" says Mr..
Butler. More than twelve hundred
people were present. The court room
was filed; standing room was occupied,
the doors thrown open and the corridors
were packed as far back as they could
see and hear, and many went away pc
cause they could not get in hearing dis
tance. The farmers of Nebraska are
becoming thoroughly aroused over the
discrimination and injustice practiced
against them.
"They are now organizing more rap
idly than in Kansas. and they are ready
/ to Join US in a great combine for the
I purpose of transacting their own ship
ping business, thereby protecting their
4 own interest by means Of q business
corporal ton in which all who desire to
! assist the movement can take stock IL
/ the company and secure protection from
i those who live off their labor without
/ giving equivalent service in return.
Nebraska farmers and business men
will raise their part of the necessary
$50, 600 to launch the proposed Farmers
| Cooperative Shipping association. The
/ leaders of the movement in Nebraska
! confident that they can place half of the
proposed capital stock in that state
They had no hesitancy in guaranteeing
they would raise $25, 600 to join with
Kansas in launching the movement.
Kansas cO-o0erators will meet hers
| in Topeka, Thursday, the 18th of this
month, to raise the necessary funds
from this state. A good attendance is
| expected, as there are important cues
! tons to discuss and bring before the
! legislature On the question of least
/ privileges some Of the railroads discriIn
/ mate against farmers, and we want t.
prevent it if we can.
We want the same privileges that

invested in an elevator should have

more thar a hundred times more in
vested in the grain business take a diff

fair play and will not be content unit
they get it.
Ex-Governor Savage addressed the
meeting Friday, and heartily endorses
the movement toward a cooperative
shipping association which is being
made by the Kansas and Nebraska
grain dealers. In his speech he said thai
the trust had come to stay. and that il
was the life of business. Coordination
is natural" he is quoted as saying. Il

duty on each article in the tariff. The
higher rate is the one which fixes the
maximum extent to which those articles
may be taxed on entering the country
the lower. or minimum rate, is the one
which fixes the minimum extent to
which the duty may be lowered. If 1t
is desired to make commercial treaties
at any time. these two rates show the
exact limits between which the treaty
rates are to be fixed
The countries at present using a null
tiDle or maximum and minimum tariff
system are Spain. France. Russia, Bra
I'll. Greece. and Norway.
The present tariff Of Spain dates from
1892. when the commercial treaties were
denounced and a consistent scheme Of
double rates was drawn up. At the
same time the Spanish administration
announced its intention of no longer
making unconditional favored
nation treaties. Commercial relations
with other countries at once became
strained. A tariff war broke out with
Germany. and the penalty tariffs Of sew
eraI countries were applied to Spanish
goods. The relations at present are
mainly on the basis of a provisional
INSTRUMENTATION treatment.
In 1893 Russia adopted a system
somewhat similar to that Of France.
Instead of having a special rate on each
article however. as was the case in the
French law, the Russian tariff made the
general schedule. which was in use prior
to 1892, the minimum schedule of the
new tariff, and placed increases ranging
as high as 80 per cent. over the mini
mum. Russia was not able to uphold
the plan in its entirety. and was COM
PEELED to make commercial treaties with
France and Germany in which reduc-
tons on the minimum rates were given
At present. therefore, Russia's tariff
system is composed Of a maximum. q
minimum, and a conventional schedule.
The conventional rates are given to
countries having INSTRUMENTATION
agreements, the minimum rates to other
countries, While the maximum rates are
intended to be used in case OF a tariff
wa~.
The Brazilian tariff of 1900 is arranged
in manner similar to the Russian.
The tariff contains maximum and mini
mum rates. the latter to be applied to
imports from those countries which
treat Brazilian exports especially coffee,
on a favorable basis.
The experience of GREECE with the
maximum and minimum system has
been similar to that of Russia. The
law of 1898 provided maximum and
minimum rates. but the later CONNER
ciaI treaties reduced the latter, so that
at present the rates applied to most
favored-nation countries are partially
the conventional rates and partially the
minimum rates
In Norway the maximum rates are in
tended to be used only in case Nor
wegian goods are treated less favor
ably than those of any other country
that is. these rates are to be used in
case Of a tariff war
