| new policy when il was submitted to
the Australian people, is considered to
be premature and not warranted by
public utterances.
Some of the premiers of the states
express guarded approval of the pro-
posals, while others have been silent.
Many protectionists, adds the CORE
spondent. are in favor of the scheme,
provided the Australian tariff be in
creased against foreign countries and
not lowered in favor of Great Britain.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has
written long letter in re-
ply to a workingman, who drew
his attention to the denunciation of his
proposals by the trades-union leaders.
Mr.. Chamberlain says he attaches no
| Importance to these criticisms because
the trades-union leaders are almost, all
strong Radical partisans He is conf
dent that in this matter the working
men will think for themselves and not
! be dictated to by trades-union lead
ers.
Mr.. Chamberlain proceed to say it
will be impossible to get preferential
treatment from the colonies unless
Great Britain places some duty on
wheat as well as on some other arti-
cles of food, because these are the chief
articles of colonial produce.
Whether this will raise the cost of
living is a matter of opinion, says Mr..
Chamberlain. There is no doubt that
in many cases a duty of this kind will
be paid by the exporter" he continues,
land it really depends upon the ex-
tent of competition among the export
ing countries. For instance, I think 1t
is established that the duty Of one
shilling recently imposed on imported
wheat was met by a reduction In prices
and freight rates in the United States,
and, therefore, the tax did not fall on
the consumers here. But even II the
price of food is raised, the rate of
wages will certainly rise in greater
proportion. This has been the case
both in the United States and Ger
many"

CHAMBERLA AIMS PLANS
MEET OPPOSITION
ReassembIins of Parliament Presents knotty
Tariff Problem as-tta

London, June S.-Seldom has the re-
assembling of Parliament been looked
forward to with greater anxiety and
curiosity than to-day. when the an
omalous situation will be revealed of
the Liberal opposition defending the
Conservative free trade budget against
the government, whose two leading
ministers have practically abandoned
the free trade policy.
The irony of the situation is brought
home to the governments most loyal
supporters, who are beginning to re-
proach the ministers with bad manage
ment and to call loudly for a revelation
of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
plans.
The Conservative Standard complains
that Mr.. Chamberlain's letter in reply
to a workingman. which was evidently
planned to coincide with the reaSsem
bling of the House of Commons, lacks
his usual lucidity of style, and fails
to enlighten or assist the country in
deciding difficult point.
1t is quite certain that the position
looks less hopeful for Mr. Chamber
lain's plans since Parliament adjourn
ed. While several influential Conser-
vatives have spoken in opposition to
his scheme. not single minister has
ventured to praise or even express a
modified approval of it.
In some quarters Mr.. Chamberlain is
credited with preparing a dramatic sur
prise in the shape of kilograms from
the premiers of all the colonies APP
proving the principles of his policy.
The Melbourne correspondent of the
Times says the statement telegraphed
to England by Alfred Beakin, the at
torney general of the Australian COM
monwealth, that the commonwealth
government and all the governments
of the separate states approved Mr.
Chamberlain's proposals, and that an
immense ma jority was assured for the

FIFTEEN LIVES LOST.

St Louis, June Word has been re-

near Madison, on which gangs of men
were working, gave way and fifteen
men, employees of the American Car

About 15G men, it is reported,
are imprisoned on section of the
levee that is slowly crumbling and all
means of escape has been cut off. Word
has been sent to the st. Louis side to
rush the private yacht Annie Russell
to the rescue. The Annie Russell start

HIGH MASS IN ST. IGNATIUS
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Discussed in Savannah by EpiscopaIIan Clergy.
men.

The publication of a report of the
special services in st. Ignatius Epis-
copal Church, New York city, recent
" where high mass was celebrated,
with the accessories usually found in
the Roman Catholic Church, caused a
good deal of discussion yesterday in
church circles. The laity of course
talked freely in the matter and those
interested, by which is meant those
who are members of or are interested
in the Episcopal Church, swere almost
universally displeased with what APP
pears from the reports to. have been
a very broad imitation of the rites
and Customs of the Roman Catholic
services.
A representative of the Morning
News saw Rev. Charles H. Strong,
rector of ST. Johns Episcopal Church,
and asked concerning the advanced
service Mr.. Strong was not disposed,
however, to go into a discussion of the
matter.
Il am not disposed to speak at length
ON this subject" he said, 'ibut it APP
pears that the elaborate ritual is only
thrown about as veil to cover the
principal feature of the service-that
of making the communion appear as
the sacrifice, and thus only necessary
for the congregation to be present, and
not necessarily participate. A veil to
clothe the leaning towards the trans
substantiation, which is the principal
difference between the Episcopal and
Roman Catholic churches to-day"
AS to the elaboration of the ritual
Mr.. Strong said that this means moth
ing in itself. The church is broad in
its views and a minister may conduct
services on a mountain top, in his shirt
sleeves, and with eXtemporaneous pray
ers, or with all the candles and flowers
and forms possible in a beautiful
church and clad in beautiful vest
ments. This is neither important nor
essential and does not, he said, call
for comment.
Rev. ]. L. Scully, rector of st. PauPs
Church, said that he had not even read
the article which had been quoted from
the New York Sun. When it's import
was partially explained he said that
there is probably nothing to worry
about. The New York Sun, he said, is
very much biased on this subject, and
is not to be taken as excellent author
ity. He would prefer to know more
about the service at St. Ignatius
Church, before passing an opinion upon
what he saw in the Sun There is no
harm in the word mass" he said, and
the American church as a matter of
fact does not declare that any parttc-
ular number must commune in a cele-
bration of the Holy Communion. The
ritualistic portion of the service is
perhaps not a serious charge in itself.
He would prefer knowing how much
