was abundant evidence, he said, of
overt acts in aiding the kings enc
mics.
The jury, after having been out half
an hour, returned a verdict of guilty.
When asked if he had anything to say
why he should not be sentenced to
death, Col. Lynch replied:
Thank you. / will say nothing"
The sentence of death was passed
on each of the four counts in the in
dictment. The prisoner then bowed
to the court and was removed, in Gus

with unfaltering composure. He walk

Won't Prevent Peace.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. %. -
Notwithstanding the irritation felt
here in government circles at what is
regarded as the purely needless and
revengeful bombardment of the Ven
ezuelan forts by the German warships,
the conclusion is that this incident will
not prevent Mr.. Bowen from success
fully carrying out his mission of peace.
The utterances Of Count Won Buelow
in the German reichstag Yesterday are
regarded here as. conveying the intima-
tion that the German warships are act
ing by direct orders from their home
government with the. purpose of aveng-
ing themselves for the repulse of the
Panther in it's first attack upon the
forts. However this may be, the Unit
ed States government cannot see any
excuse for entering into this quarrel
between Germany and Venezuela.

German Foreign Secretary Explains.

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-In the reichstag
today Foreign Secretary ven Richthoff
expressed the hope that the Venezu-
elan difficulties would soon be settled.
He said:
1.-THE negotiations at Washington. it
IS hoped, will show an early result,
rendering it possible to raise the block
ade. So long as the blockade exists.
however, respect for it must be en-
forced. The action against Maracafbo
was undertaken for this purpose.
1T has been said that we went into
this affair 'dashingly, with drums and
trumpets.' Dashingly / admit, from
the moment when we appealed to arms.
But with drums and trumpets' I can
by no means admit. On the contrary,
we went to the extreme limit of pa
uence and long suffering. The Venezu-
elan government not only refused to
settle the debts contracted with Ger
man citizens, as is generally admitted,
but at the same time committed brutal
acts of violence against Germans and
German property"

new TACK ON
The TARIFF
Lodge Resolution Represents
an Attempt to DispIace
Reciprocity.
FROM Globe Washington Bureau.

FROM Globe Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-That
Lodge resolution in regard to an in
Quiry as to alleged determinations by
certain foreign nations against the
United States, in the matter of goods
which we send to those countries, is
worthy Of more than passing notice
During the next year or two more will
be heard of it. In fact, it is likely to
become as familiar as the subject of
reciprocity 1t has to do with a new
scheme of tariff legislation which
Lodge and some other influential men
in the Republican party hope to see
displace reciprocity and solve the
t&nGle into which the tariff is dragging
the party in power.
A maximum and minimum tariff
schedule is the scheme; the president
to have power to fix the duties be-
tween these limits If a country dis
eliminates against American goods. an
ply the maximum rate of duty against
the goods we get from that country,
when the Determinations cease, let
down the tariff toward the minimum.
When Germany discriminates against
American beef, shove up the duty on
German knit goods or hardware; when
our beef gets the same chance given
to that of other countries, let down
the tariffs on knit goods, etc.-a sliding
scale arrangement, by which discrimi-
nation might be met with discrin1ina-
ton and favors with favors, the ar
rangement to be operated by the pres
ident and made instantaneously opera
tive.
The Lodge resolution went to the,
senate committee on finance. That
committee will probably have the task
of making the inquiry, sitting for this
purpose during the summer, and re-
porting next fall. During the first ses.
sion of the ifty-eighth congress
next winter-congress may build some
maximum and minimum" legislation.
1t is figured that such action would be
good politics, serving to harmonic the
sectional feeling which the tariff is
producing between East and West, and
taking the tariff out of the campaign
as a partisan issue.

PROTECTION OF CATTLE
FROM TUBERCULOSIS
Pennsylvania Veterinarian Tries Vao-
cnation With Successful Outcome.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 23-Dr.
Leonard Pearson, dean of the veterin-
ary department of the University Of
Pennsylvania, today announced that
experiments covering a period of more
than two years had proved conclu-
sively that cattle can be rendered i'm
mune from tuberculosis by vaccination.
The experiments, DR.. Pearson stated,
were conducted by DR.. S. H. Gilliland
and himself.
The vaccination consisted of inject
ing into the vein of the animal a small
quantity of tubercle bacilli non -virulent
for cattle. This procedure was re-
peated several times with gradually
ascending quantities. The immediate
effect was to produce a passing fever
following each injection which did not
seriously annoy the animal.
To prove the efficacy of this treat
ment four healthy animals were Sc
cured and two were vaccinated Then
the four We're inocuIated with virulent
tuberele bacilli. At the expiration Of
nearly year the inoculated cattle
were killed The two animals that had
been vaccinated We're perfectly sound
while the unvaccinated animals We're
extensively tubercular.

FIGHT FOR PRINTING CONTRACT.
Subject of Supreme Court Reports
Promises to Become Interesting.

Promises to Become Interesting.
Quick action yesterday morning on
the part Of Representative Renville
Chinook, Ramsey, prevented a finish
of the fight for the contract for pub
fishing the reports of the Minnesota
supreme court.
The issue is now fairly Joined and
the matter of letting the contract for
the publication of the supreme court
reports promises to afford one of the
most interesting fights of the session.
Representative George Wilson, Worth
ington, and Representative Renville
Chinook, st. Paul, are the opposing
generals.
Early in the week Mr.. Wilson in
troduced a bill authorizing the secre-
tary of state to renew the existing
contract with Frank Dufresne, st.
Paul, which expires by limitation in a
few weeks. The present contract pro-
vides a price of $1.50 per volume.
Mr.. Wilson's bill was faYOrably act
ed upon and reported for passage by
the committee on judiciary when
Chinook broke into the game. He in
troduced a bill instructing the secre-
tary of state to make q siX-year con-
tract with the Keefe-D Davidson con-
Germ at maximum price of S1.25 per
volume, and managed to have the Will
son bill retained by the committee on
judiciary, pending a joint~ considera-
ton of the two bills. The argument
Chinook may have used has not been
divulged. In any event he managed to
break a record by holding a bill al
ready reported for passage.
Mr.. Wilson evidently smelled a large
rat, and yesterday morning the jul
dietary committee again reported his
Dufresne bill out for passage with the
price clipped to $1.25 per volume. By
the merest chance Chinook heard the
report, and entered a vigorous protest,
to the end that the report was with
drawn and both bills made a special
order for hearing before the commit
tee Wednesday.
Chinnock and his friends claim their
men are entitled to the contract be-
cause they have reduced the price and
forced the original contractor to come
down to them. The lawyers of the
house do not expect a third concern to
enter the fight.

LYNCH CONVICTED AND
SENTENCED TO DEATH
Found Guilty of Treason in Fiehtinq
for the Beers.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Col. Arthur
Lynch, member Of parliament for Cal
way, tried on the charge of high trea-
son, was convicted today and SEN
tenceed to death. When counsel for
the defense summed up there was no
attempt to deny that Col Lynch sun
ported the Beers, but counsel contend
ed that his naturalization was in no
way prompted by reasonable intent
and was solely for the advantage he
would thus secure for journalistic pur-
poses Subsequently, the defendant
actively supported the Boer cause in
the belief that he was naturalized
burgher.
The solicitor general, Sir Howard
carson, maintained that Col. Ivnch
joined the Boer army as a discontinued
lrishman, thereby committing a most
coWardly and most serious act of trea-
SON." His naturalization, continued
the solicitor general, was only f1imsv
preteXt. Counsel then proceeded to
detail the prisoners alleged acts of
adherence to his country's enemies.
The lord chief justice summed up
very briefly. He said that if in war
time British subject Joined the kings
enemies, whatever his purpose, he was
guilty of an unlawful act. Naturali-
&ation in war time afforded no excuse

Frenn Globe Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, d. e., Jan. 23.-sen-
ator Nelson today dug up Senator
Quay's famous speech in eight volumes
delivered during the debate in 1894 over
the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill. Nelson
threatens to deliver it back at Quay if
it becomes necessary to kill time in the
statehood debate.
Quay used the speech to hold up the
senate until that body surrendered the
tariff schedules on iron which he de-
manded. 1t discussed the iron indus
try from the time of Noah and Tubal
Cain to Carnegie.
Nelson says he is feeling quite fit

want it distinctly understood that I am
ready to proceed in this case," said Re-
becca J. Taylor to Chief Justice Bing-
ham, of the district supreme court, to-
day when the case of Taylor against
the secretary Of war was called In cir
cult court No. 1. It was a novel sight
to see the litigant, not member of
the bar and a woman, appearing in
court to prostitute her own cause
against the government in a most i'm
pCrtant matter. The room was crowd
ed with attorneys and others. District
Attorney Beach, who desired to take
part in the argument Of the case, did
not expect that it would be heard to-
day.
Assistant District Attorney Classic,
who appeared for the government,
made a statement of these facts to the
court and asked that the hearing be
postponed until Friday next. 1t was at
this stage of the proceedings that Miss
Taylor announced to the court that
she was ready to proceed and did not
desire a postponement Miss Taylor
was dressed in neat suit of blue cloth.
She entered the court room with two
large bundles of law books held togeth-
er by leather straps. Besides these
she had also a large volume of manu-
script notes and references and an out
line of the argument which she intend
ed to make.
When Chief Justice Bingham an
nounced that the hearing would be
postponed until Friday next Miss Tay-
lor said that she would be on hand. An
effort was made by Assistant District
Attorney Classic to learn from Miss
Taylor if she intended to secure the
services of other counsel before the
hearing, but she was non -committal
in reference to the matter.

The house committee on judiciary
VIII Wrestle Tuesday with a proDosi-
tlon for tax constitutional admend-
ments, which, on its face, while sim
plyty1ng the tax situation. seems 10
put the whole question in the hands of
the legislature. u
A subcommittee of the house Judi
clary wrestling with the bill for amend
nents to sections 1, 2, and 4. of ar
tlcle y, of the constitution, which We're
deteated at the last general election:
mas recommended to the main COM
mittee that the bill be reported for in
uennlte p0Stponement and offer a sub.
stitute.
All Up to Legislature.
The substitute, which is a special orr
DER Tor committee consideration Tues
oay, condenses the four sections to one
ana wipes out the special constitutional
provisions for municipal taxation, in
herltance taxes, state tax levy and
banking tax. 1t provides for the enact
ment of general laws for the levying
and collection of taxes and raises the
personal property exemption from 5000
to $500.
The increase in exemption is not
made positive, but is left with the leg
lslature, as is the whole subject of tax
at1on beyond the one proviso, that the
power of taxation shall never be sur
rendered or suspended.
The Proposed Amendment.
THAT sections 1, 2, and 4, of ar
tcIe 9, Of the constitution of the state
Of Minnesota, be amended to read as
follows:
Section THAT the power of taxa
tion shall never by contract or other
wise be surrendered or suspended and
all taxes shall be uniform upon the
of nd I,on Io
levied and collected under general laws
for public purposes, but there may be
exempted from taxation personal prop
erty to an amount not exceeding in
value $500 for each individual house,
hold, or head of family, as the legisla-
ture may determine"
The proposition has a strong follow
ing in the judiary committee, and it's
friends are confident in the belief that
with possibly some minor changes the
substitute will be recommended out for
passage.
Fix Commissioners Pay.
Representative Erickson yesterday
offered a substitute bill for the county
