BABCOCK TALKS OUT
FLATFooTED DEMAND Fo
 TARIFF REVISION.
Says He Regards the Fifty-eight Congress as Pledged to Go Over the Dingley Law and
 Make Alterations.

washington. April 4.-(special. )-The first note out of concord with the no- tariff- -tinkering key sounded at Boston by Secretary Root Is boldly uttered by Representative Babcock. of Wisconsin. who is in the city, and who has managed several campaigns as chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee.
 T regard the Fifty-eighth Congress pledged to a revision of the tariff," he said. But let 1t be remembered in this connection that the Republican Party is standing squarely on its plank of protec- ton to American industries, and that any tariff reforms which it would inaugurate would be with that plank as working basis
 Representative Babcock did not feel at all sure that the pledge in question would be kept. q can only say that 1t ought to be kept" he said. Tt ought to have been kept at the last session. It was the desire of President Roosevelt. But the solid opposition of eighteen Republican Senators blocked it. These eighteen Senator's" he added significantly. 'are stilI holding their seats.

SPIRIT OF. BEECHER
DIR. FUNK SAYS HE TALKED TO
 THE DIVINE.
DeclaAss That He Held Communities tion With Spirit from Other World and Was Told of
 Many Things.

New York. April 4.--As culmination to his revelations regarding spiritual com munication from Henry Ward Reeehs.. the Rev. Dr. Isaac K. Funk of this city declares he looked into the face of the dead preacher and talked with him a few nights ago. pr. Funk asserts that he saw the clear outline of Mir. Beechers head and shoulders, and the ghost told the man in the flesh that he had a work to do. and that it would be made clear to him in time.
 Strange and almost uncanny as were pr. Funk's statements concerning the fa- nous clergyman. still more weird were his minute details of a long converse ton wlth an unknown ghost. This took place in Brooklyn at the time when a voice from the grave accused him of causing unrest to the subliminal body of Mir. Beecher. and the unknown visitor re- vealed mary secrets of life on the other slde." as MT. Funk put it.
 The ghost. according to Dr. Funk, de- clared that all inventions now in use Tn the world were first of all discovered by the second part of men. No discovery that helps to uplifht the race but has been tested in the spirit land. With dis coveries perfected, the ghost said. he and his fellows go about the world looking for d mind in the receptive mood for the se- cret to be impigned thereon. The pros- ress of the ghosts in the higher life was revealed also. and to pr. Funk's ears came the cheering words that. be the time long or short every subliminal body in the end begins to grow better.

 W op. FINAL slos IN DOUBT Rumors of Bribery of Treaty's
 Opponents. Said That Many of Them Will Be Given Lucrative Jobs by the 0overnment-Ex-Minister
 'yilva Dead.

Washington, April 4.-Upon information received in Washington through private sources, 1t Is stated that Senor Concha. formerly Minister to Washington. is not making a fight against the ratification of the canal treaty as has been stated.
 It is said that he lives in a suburb some distance out of Bogota. and that since his return to his home from Washington he has visited Bogota but three or four times. It is said in these private letters that Concha has expressed his opinion which Is adverse to the treaty. but has gone no further.
 Senor Silva, also. a former Minister to the Urited States. who had been counted upon to vigorously oppose the treaty. died in Colombia, February Il.
 Nevertheless information comes from Bogota that there are some very bitter opponents to the treaty as well as ardent champions. Information Is lacking in Washington which will show who have Congress. so it Is impossible thus early to make poll which will indicate the prospects of the treaty's passage, through the Colombian Congress.
 It Is expected that the Congressional delegations from the States of Antioquia and Cauca will be favorably disposed ow. ing to the geographical location of these two States with respect to the canal

HAVE A COMPLAINT
MINERS SAY OPERATORS HAVE
 FAILED TO KEEP FAITH.
Disagreement on the Strike Com k mission Ruling on the Number of Hours to Constitute
 . Days Work.

Philadelphia, April [--A disagreement between the mine operators and miners today, regarding the strike commission's ruling on the number of hours to consti- tuts d days work resulted in the closing of many collieries throughout the anthra- cite region.
 The greatest dissatisfaction was ex- pressed in the lower region and in Potts. vile, shamoki,., Mahanoy and contiguous towns and most of the miners were idle part of the day. At some of the col- .lieries the men laid down their tools after they had worked eight hours and at others they remained In the miners nine hours, but refused to work ten hours when requested to do so by the superin- tendents. The operators assert that they will pay the men only for the time worked and the miners assert that is violation of the agreement. Meetings of the local unions were held and in most cases the miners decided to return to work Monday and to submit the question to joint committees of operators and miners as suggested by the commission.

GALE LASHES MISSISSIPPI Heavy Blow Tries the | LtveeS. BUT NO BREAKS OCCUR Work of Strengthening Stead-
 lily Progresses. No Attempt Will Be Made to Repair
 the Damage at Hollybrook. Water. Hsosdins in the Delta.

New Orleans, April 4.-Wfth the river practically stationary and no further breaks in the levees, there were no de- velopments of importance in the flood conditions in Louisiana today.
 Between Eaton Rouge and New Orleans the entertainments were subjected to an unusual test yb terrific blow that last ed from. Friday night to Saturday morn the whole line held and there is still a feeling of hope that the lands along the lower river will escape devastation.
 The work of strengthening goes on without interruption. Favorable progress was made at Hymelia during the day. Although there remains great deal to be done there before the break can be considered safely within control saciing of the cribwork at the upper end began today and considerable was done. It is expected that sacking of the whole work will be in fnii swing by Monday. The water from the crevasse continues to fall slowly behind the levees.
 No effort Is being made to do anything with the Hoiiybrook break. The crevasse there Is widening. but the river is falling and it Is not expected that the period of overflow will be of long dura- ton. Lake Providence expects to escape submergence.
 The river here this morning stood at 2oL It was 2o.2 at night fall, still . tenth under the highest record this year. The local weather authorities believe that there will be slow rise for the next three weeks If the levees hold and Hymelia is finally shut tight.

DECLARES FOR GORMAN
REPRESENTATIVE BANKHEAD
 EULoGIZES MARYLANDER.
Says That Politician Should Be Elected to Presidency and He Thinks Hon. Arthur Pue
 Fills the Bill.

Washington. April 4.-(Special.)- )-.''No man ought to be elected President of the United States who is not a good politi- cian." said Representative John H. Bank head. who is in the city today. MT. Bank head continued.
 Fl mean that 1t takes a politician in the best sense of the word to fill the greatest ofiice in the world acceptably and efi- government. the administration of public affairs, and only a politician who has in- timate knowledge thereof, gained through experience. ought to be made chies ex. ecutive of the nation. The people under stand the difference between the schemins and crafty manipulator of voters and the statesman. and there is no danger that the demagogue or the boss will ever be the nominee of any great party In this country.
 "The kind of politician had in mind as eminently qualified for the White House is admirably represented by sena- tor German of Maryland. Here Is man who has had a long and creditable rec ord. He understands the needs of the country, or every part or IL. lie knows the party leaders and possesses their con- fidence. He is a politician of the highest sort. The people have long admired his ability. his conservatism. his accurate judgment and know that if elected he would make no mistake.
 Tn my opinion Arthur P. German Is be- yond all other men that have been men tioned available for the leadership in 1904. He can carry States like New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Connecticut. It is needless to say the South would support him with enthusiasm. German the poli- tician, German the astute and judicious leader and counselor, ought to head the Democratic ticket and in that event he will be the next President of the United States.'
 Senator Bate of Tennessee who is in the city on his way home from New York. says the Democratic party is in excellent shape in New York city, and indica aions are that the feeling in favor of the nom- ination for resident of JudgeP Alton B. Parker appears to be growing stronger every day.
 The Senator's information is that Park CT will be entirely acceptable to Tam many.

 i MT. Hodgson expresses doubt of the genuineness of the original spiritual mes sage.
 Tn dealing with communications from spirits you must first eliminate all possi- biiity of interference from living people and in . case like this 1t Is practically inn possible to do so." said MT. Hodgson.
 'Tf Mrs. Piper is used, in connection with this matter 1t is not at all sure that definite answers to our inquiries will be obtained It IS just as if gave some- body the name of a living person whose whereabouts was unknown and asked to have him traced up. It could not be done in a minute; have got to find some- body who knows through Mrs. Piper and get him to hunt up Mir. Beecher for us. 2

NEW STAR OBSERVED.
Director of Lick. Observatory Tell
 What He Saw.

San Jose. Cal. April 4.-w. W. Camp bell. director 9f the Lick Observatory. says: 4St
 Our first opportunity to catch glimpse of the new star discoyered by Turner at Oxford. England. in the constellation Gemini, occurred Wednesday night at the close of . long spell of stormy weather. Excellent observations of it were secured on Thursday night. Its visual magnitude is about eight and half, though photo graphically 1t Is fully . magnitude brighter than this on account of the richness of the star in photographic rays. Its spectrum contains numerous bright bands, the most conspicuous being due to hydrogen. The history of previous new stars leads us to expect that the nature of this object win change and in the course of a few weeks or months 1t will become a nebula. In fact, our study of the spectrum of recent stars leads to little doubt that many formations have carried 1t along nearly to the nebula state. The position of the star is ?. a., six hours. thirty-seven minutes. forty-eight seconds. and north declination 0.oS."
