NEW GERMAN TARIFF.
Consul General Mason shows How 1t
InIurIOusIy Affects Our Trade.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Information
OF much value to exporting interests
concerning German trade is contained
in a report to the state department
by United States Consul General Ma
son, at Berlin. Mr.. Mason points out
that the date on which the new tariff
act is to go into operation will de-
pend on the time occupied in arrang-
ing new commercial treaties, whio..
he places at from 12 to Is months,
thus bringing the new law into effect
somewhere between January and
July, 1904. Mr.. Mason analyses the
act tersely, showing how it will af-
feet the future import trade of Ger
many from the United States unless
meanwhile modified by reciprocity
treaty.
Especially significant, he says, are
the largely increased duties on grain
and cereal products, that on wheat
rising from the minimum rate of so
cents to $l.75 per 100 Kilograms. The
duty on horses, now uniform at $4.75
per head, rises to figure varying
from $21 to $S5. Bicycles instead of
paying 1872 will pay 1870 per 100
Kilograms. Similar increases are re-
ported in other important staple eX-
ports from the United States, such as
shoes, lumber, machinery, railroad
apparatus, and railway material.

A TEST CASE.
VIII be Brought to Decide the Fate of
Fifty ConVicts.

Joliet, H.. Jan. 31.-An alleged
technicality in the criminal code may
free 80 Illinois convicts, confined for
manslaughter or criminal assault. 1t
is asserted that there is no statute
authorizing punishment for these
crimes. A test case will be tried soon
in the VIII county court by applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus.
In 1895 the Illinois legislature
passed the indeterminate sentence
law for all fclonies except murder
and treason and repealed all incon-
sistent laws. The next session Of the
Legislature took manslaughter and
criminal assault from the list of pen
alties punishable under the indeter-
inmate sentence act, and Aor these
crimes fixed definite period. 1t is
coutended that the indeterminate
sentence law repealed all other laws
applying to these crimes and that the
following act struck them from the
code altogether

A BAD OFFICER.
The Mayor of San Juan, Porto Rico,
Is Charged with EmbeZZIemenl.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 31.-Gov.
Hunt in issuing an executive order on
Thursday removing the mayor of San
Juan, Manuel EgoZcue, from Office,
said he was in possession of further
proofs of that officials negligence
and wrong doing. Criminal action
against the mayor is still pending.
In the meanwhile there is consterna-
ton in certain circles at the firm
stand taken by the governor and At
torney General Harlan. The latter's )
letter to the governor, containing a
mastery indictment covering Egoz-
cues entire career, has been COM
mended by the federal press.
The attorney general in his letter
shows that the city lost $95,157 in
one item of expenditure and says he
found that the fraud and gross inca
pacity in every department of the
city government was so extraordinary
that it is difficult to find a similar in
stance in the history of municipal
mismanagement.

a WARM DEBATE.
Senators RawIInS and BeverIdge Clash
in the Senate Chamber.

Washington, Jan. ga sharp de-
bate was preclpitated in the senate
yesterday when Mr.. Rawlins called
up his resolution offered Tuesday, di-
recting the secretary of war to fur
nish the senate the proceedings of a
number of courts martial in the Phil
ippines. In the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Rawlins referred to the
death of Father Augustin and said
he was murdered in cold blood. This
aroused the ire of Mr.. Beveridge, who
demanded specifically to know who
had committed the cold blooded mur,
der. Mr.. Carmack entered the debate
and characterized the charge, which,
he said, repeatedly had been made
that the democrats were assailing tho
army as the "meanest and dirtiest"
Of any that had been made against
the party. Mr.. Proctor defended
Captain Cornelius NJ. Brownell, who
had been mentioned in the Rawlns
resolution as being responsible for
Father Augustin's death.

The GRIM REAPER.
He Is Still Kept Busy on the
Railroads.
Express and Freight Trains Meet at
LOftin, PA, and Two Lives 90
Out-Bi. -Four Train Strikes
Street Car at Springfield,
q. Many Injured.

HaZleton, Pa, Jan. 31.-The fast ex.
press train from Wilkesbarre for
Philadelphia on the Schuylkill Valley
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
collided head-on last evening with a
freight train near Lofty, nine miles
south of Hazleton. The engineer and
fireman of the freight train were
killed; the engineer and fireman and
colored porter of the passenger train
seriously hurt and seven passengers
Slightly injured. The dead:
Robert Meyer, engineer.
Fred Gearhardt, fireman.
Seriously injured: Israel Carey, en-
gineer.
John Smith, fireman.
Harry Hayward (colored), porter.
Between Hazleton and Lofty there
IS single track which is used by
both the Lehigh Valley and Pennsyl-
vania railroads. Through a misun-
derstanding of orders both trains got
on this single stretch of track and
before the engineers saw the danger
it was too late to avert the collision.
The locomotives came together
with a terrible crash. The freight
engine leaped over the top of the eX-
press car and plunged into the chair
car. The passengers in this car were
hurled in every direction. The pOr-
ter, Harry Hayward, was thrown
against the roof and probably fatally
injured The hot coal from the fire
box set fire to the chair car and it
was destroyed in short time.
A relief train was sent out from
Hazleton with a number of physicians
on board. The injured were brought
to the Hazleton hospital. 1t is said
the engineer of the freight train had
an order to take side track and al
low the flyer to pass, but failed to
reach the siding before the passenger
train arrived.
Springfield, O., Jan. 31.-A Big Four
passenger train, southbound, struck
street car at a street crossing
early last evening. The ear was well
filled with people and was hit square
ly in the center, driving it so feet be-
yond the crossing. Eleven persons
were injured, two of whom, Mrs. Ad-
die Wheeler and Anna Bailey, are
seriously injured and may die. The
motorman, 4. ID. Wilkinson, is also
badly hurt and no statement can be
obtained from him, although it is
thought he was unable to stop the
car on account of defective brakes.

MINERS CONVENTION.
Mr. Mitchell Is Re-eIected President
Reports Of Defense Fund and In-
Junction Committeeman Increase in
Wages Demanded,


indianapolis, Jan. 27.-The report
of the tellers on the recent election
of national officers of the United
Mine Workers, by the recently taken
referendum vote was made Monday,
showing that John Mitchell, who had
no opposition for president, received
55,032 votes and w. b. Wilson, who
had no opposition for secretary-treas-
urer, received 56,251 votes.
Vice President T. L. Lewis, of Ohio,
was reelected over r. ID. Nichols, of
Pennsylvania.
The special committee on defense
fund recommended the establishment
of large defense fund, but did not
deem it advisable at this time to es-
tablish national fund. Owing to the
unorganized condition of the miners
in many of the districts, it was
thought best to continue the ten
cents per month assessment for an
other year. The committee advo-
Gated that each district accumulate
and maintain a fund until it becomes
sufficiently large to meet any crisis.
The report Of the special commit
tee on injunction went into the his
tory of the operation of injuTetions
and after showing the abuses to
which the injunction had contriB-
uted, recommended that President
Mitchell appoint a committee of two
to go to Washington and use its in
fiuence to secure the passage of the
anti-iniunction bill.
indianapolis, Jan. 2s.-The mine
workers completed their business and
adjourned yesterday. The convention
has been the most harmonious ever
held Many important measures have
been acted upon. Among them are
the formulation of the demand for an
increase of wages of 121a cents fiat
per ton on a run-of-mine basis and
fiat dilrerential of seven cents per
ton between pick and machine mined

venezuela Between Two Fires ALLIES
Demand that Their Claims be Pre-.
ferred- Other Creditors Protest-Ger-
many's Bluff.
London, Jan. 30.-Great Britain,
Germany and Italy have sent joint
reply to Minister Bowen refusing to
accept the proposal that all the
countries having claims against Ven
ezuela should be placed on an equal
ity with the three cooperating pow
ers.
Washington, Jan. 30.-There was u
pause In the Venezuelan negotiations
yesterday that approached perilously
near breach and the end is not yet
in sight. 1t all grows out of the at
tltude of the allies in insisting upon
preferential treatment for themselves
IN the settlement of their claims. AS
foreshadowed in the London dis
patches, Mr.. Bowen has been in
formed Of the decision of the allies
to insist upon adhering to this claim
and he has come to a stand in his
work for the moment.
Venezuela's plight at this moment
lies In the fact that she is between
two fires. The allies demand prefer
entlal treatment, while France and
other creditors look ito Venezuela for
fair treatment, pointing out that to
discriminate against their claims
when their attitude had been correct
and even magnanimous, would not be
fair trea tment.
The Venezuelan situation, especial
ly the attitude of Germany, was dis
cussed by the senate committee on
military affairs yesterday and the
situation influenced the committee
on some matters pertaining to the
army appropriation bill, among
which was the decision to accept the
house provision relating to trans
ports so that they would be retained
in the service.
The committee also provided for an
increase of electricians, skilled gum
ners, machinists and sergeants and
Others who take care of and handle
guns in sea coast defenses.
The discussion was general and
earnest and the conclusion reached
was that the United States should
make it plain that the honor and dig
nifty of the country would be main
tained, and that Germany should not
be allowed to bluff the government
by any attitude she might assume.
Washington, Jan. 31.-The Eu-
ropean allies have not yet answered
Minister Bowen's proposition made
several days ago that there shall be
no preference of claims of Great Bri-
tain, Germany and Italy against Ven
ezuela over those of other nations.
Mr.. Bowen has addressed note to
the allies which might be regarded
as an ultimatum. He said to the al
lies that if they persisted in their de-
termination to receive preferential
treatment he would call together the
other creditor nations to protest
against the allies demands.

UNION PACIFIC STRIKE.
Hachinists Refuse TO Accept IA Piece
work System - Struggle to be Rc-
neNvcd and Extended.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 31.--President
Burt, of the Union Pacific railroad,
on Friday met representatives of the
striking shopmen of that system to
continue the conferences begun in
New York three weeks ago. Iester-
days meeting resulted in the shop
men leaving without reaching set
tlement and the strike will now con-
tinue and be extended over the South
ern Pacific system.
President Mcneil, of the National
Association of Boilermakers, was
spokesman for the strikers and told
President Burt that thorough can
vass of the strikers had been made,
with the result that they unanim ous-
ly agreed that they could not accept
the piece work system.
President Burt replied that the men
could return to work under no other
condition, and regretted that the men
would not give the system a trial.
The conference lasted Is minutes.
President Mcneil stated that no
plan had yet been arranged for action
on the Southern Pacific, as it had
been expected that it would be un-
necessary to bring the men on that
system into the strike, and he added
that such action might be deferred.
He said there would be no further
conference with President Burt at
present.
Thomas i. Wilson, fourth vice
president of the Machinists' union,
said the American Federation of La
Dor will be asked to take a hand, and
that the strike would be carried on
more vigorously than ever

WORLD OF TRADE.
Dun's Weekly Report of Business
Conditions Industries Generally
Active Fuel Scarce Labor High.

New York, Jan. 31.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Domestic trade and industry con-
tinue to prosper, while the fuel sit
uation has grown less disturbing
through the special efforts of trans
porters, aided by mild weather. Dis
tribution of other products has been
restricted by the discrimination in
favor of coal, and shippers are impor-
tunate. Clearance sales are about
ended, leaving only small stocks of
winter goods.
Advance business in spring deliv-
cries is very heavy, and fall contracts
are also placed literally. In most
cases where there is no delay on fuel
| account. manufacturing plants are
busy, though cost of materials and
labor is very high. Firm prices for
finished products are consequently to
be expected. Favorable returns of
| railway earnings are constantly is
sued, figures thus far available show
ing an increase of 81 per cent. over
last year.
Miles of loaded cars and thousands
of tons of coke piled in the yards at
tions in the iron and steel industry.
Furnaces are closing because of the
fuel shortage. BY giving coal, live
stock and perishable goods prece-
dence over all other freight. the rail
roads helped consumers everywhere,
but at the expense of the leading
manufacturing industry. Many plants
arc closed or running only part time,
and few orders for distant delivery
are either sought or offered. owing
to the uncertainty as to when normal
conditions will prevail. Deliveries of
pig iron TO the leading consumers
are several months behind.
Failures for the week numbered
2f3 in the United States, against 30l
last year. and 30 in Canada, compared
with 80 a year ago.
