INDIA IN CRAMBERLAIN'S PLAN.
Liberal Peers Declare That Preferential
Tariffs Would Prove an In Jury.
.speciM Cable pespatch 10 The SUN.


LONDON, July lO--In the House of Lords
this evening the Earl of Northbrook
Giberal) called attention 10 the position
Of India in connection with the subject
Of preferential tariffs He asked if India
were included in the inquiry on the subject
that was now going on, He expressed
the opinion that preferential tariffs would
be injurious both to Great Britain and
India
Lord Avebury and the Earl of Elgin,
both Liberal peers, expressed similar
views.
In replying to the Earl Of Northbrook
the Marquis of I.andsdowne, said that
India would come within the scope of the
inquiry ut the Governments instigation. He
admitted that there ia marked contrast
between the fiscal schemes Of India and
the Colonies
The former, he said, were purely for rev.
enl,e, for which reason India was not in
RS good poi ion to give preference TO her
FIR encis or To retalilte upon those treating
her in En- unfit ndly manner.
l. was essential that Indian trade have
the most favorable and most unrestr cted
outlet possible The interests Of Groat
Britain as n creditor of India must also be
considered.
India has to remit about SIT 900, COO
yearly on account OF home charges. A
large part Of this obligation falls upon
midas export trade. and II anything is
dono TO reduce the receipts from exports IL
would diminish midas power Of buying
from Great Britain, which she now does
very largely.
The Government req lized the necessity
for carefully considering. not only the
commercial and economic, but tho political
effects Of any alteration of the fiscal system
and the Indian Government would be con-
suited
Lord TSnsdowne added that he Yves glad
Of the opportunity to sssure tho House
that the whole inquiry would be conducted
in no hole and corner fashion.
The facts, statistics and information on
which the Government would base its
final judgment on the new fiscal propo sails
would be made public. and the Govern
ment would gladly welcome assistance
from any quarter.
Viscount Goschen, formerly Chancellor
Of the Exchequer, complimented Lord
Lansdowne upon having made one of the
most explicit statements that have yet been
offered Asked when the information would
be made public by the Government Lord
Lansdowne promised a reply on July "a,
when Viscount Goschen will again rails
the tariff question.

But Mr.. Hearst hires n good deal OF the

MORE WAR TALK AT PEKIN.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.
PEKIN, July lO.-The complete revival
Of war talk within the past few days, which
has exceeded the discussion which followed
Russia's demands in regard to Manchuria
more than twD months ago, is att ibutable
to facts that have just become known.
In the first place it has been learned
since the departure Of M. Lessar, the Rus
sian Minister. for Port Arthur. where he
held a consultation with Cen Koroupotkin
the Russian Minister Of War, and other Of
ficials, that China was invited to partici-
pate in the conference. 1t Is also known
that it was suggested that Lien Feng
vioe-president Of the Foreign Board, and
the Tartar eneral in command at Mukden,
be appointed to represent China during the
discussions.
China only refrained from doing this be-
cause she was afraid the Powers would
make some untoward Interpretation OF
such action and also because Of the suspi-
cion which would be aroused by the wide
scope of the matters to be discussed at the
conference, which was intended TO EN-
brace the leading officials of Russia, China
and Corea.
In the second place the action OF Japan
in making a demand on China for the pay
ment Of the difference between silver and
gold In the July installment Of the indemnity
without any consultation or understanding
with England is regarded as evidence that
Japan is determined on pursuing a policy
independent Of British sympathy or the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, which is now not
L "a N hQ Df
the Manchurian ENHANCEMENT.
The third reason for the war talk and
uneasiness is the prolonged absence Of NJ,
Lessar from Pekin. 1t was Thought lie
would return from Port Arthur some days
ago. but there have been several post
ponements. II is believed that Russia has
secured the complete confidence Of China in
her ability to meet all opposition to her
Manchurian plans.
The British Tug and Lighter Company,
at Newchwang, has been sold to the Rus
slams This is an indication that Russia in
securing rapid control Of the industries
there and that the foreign residents are
losing confidence in the strength Of the
opposition of the Powers to Russia's prog
ress in her plans.
LONDON, July IA despatch to the
Standard from Tien tsin says 1t is reported
that M. Lessar. Russian Minister at Pekin,
has advised Russian civilians to leave
Newohwang, Port Arthur and Corea by
certain date.
The despatch adds that the Russian
newspapers at Port Arthur have adopted
bellicose tone Numbers of transport ami
mails continue to arrive in southern Man
churia. Japanese preparations are also

CAMPING IN THE PARKS.
Hundreds OF Folks Slept on the City Grass
Plots Last Night.

Even If people did suffer from the hea
while the sun was roasting everybody ant
everything yesterday, New York's tenemen
population had good chance for a coo
evening That was by courtesy OF the Parl
Department.
Thousands Of people went to Contra
Park and the smaller parks on the lower
East Side last evening Men, women anC
children all spread oiJ on the grass. Will,
the men dQzed. smoked and chatted tbs
women watched their babies sleep, anC
everybody kept pretty comfortably cool
The police had little trouble in keeping
order.
Park Commiss oner Wilcox gave in
structions yesterday afternoon that womer
and children should be permitted to &C
upon the large lawns in all of the parks
in Manhattan during the heated term
regardless Of keep off the grass" signs.l
The Commissioner said that his idea was
to allow the people to get as much COM
fort as possible during the hot weather
even II the grass was injured somewhat
He let II be understood, however that the
children ought not to abuse the privilege
by plucking flowers or breaking shrubbery
and the police were instructed to keep a
sharp eye on the people to see that they did
not injure things o..
The Commissioner was informed that a
number of men slept in Battery Park on
Thursday night and he said:
Il am glad to hear it. That is a good
idea and the parks would be a cool place
in which to sleep these hot nights. There
Is no reason why men should not sleep there
under police restrictions"
He then called up acting Police Com
missioner Ebstein and had talk with him
about the matter and orders were issued
TO the police not to disturb park slumberers
In the night time as long as the hot weather
continued.
Fully 200 of New York's Jewish popula-
ton OF the lower East Side camped out
last night in Tompkina Square and Hamil-
ton Fish parks. AT midnight there were
about 900 people in the first park AL
most all Of them came in family groups,
at least one of which numbered fourteen
by actual count. They brought shawls
and pillows to make their lawn beds ensier
In the Tompkins Square camp the fam
lilies all herded together in a neighborly way,
instead of spreading out in different corners
for seclusion.
Hamilton Fish Park, at Stanton and
Houston streets, was NOT by any means
prepared as city bed, but at least zoo
persons went there to sleep just the same.

sodded and the Park Department people
had to keep everybody off that part. The

Vegetable dealers complained bitterly
to their patrons Of the impossibility of

of water during the June rains and were

a fat man who drinks beer in this weather
La a torture to himself and an abomination
TO his fsends.
Reports from all the metropolitan dis
trict show that there has been an unusual
pest Of mosquitoes since the hot weat her
began. Certainly the city has been invaded
by them as it seldom is. Last summer,
and in the early part of the present sea-
son, thcr" were unusual efforts to do away
with mosquitoes in many places by oil
ing ponds and marshy places with larve-
killing liquids. Until the present hot
weather began tho makers and users OF
these devices were highly delighted with
the success Of their work; their voices have
now been drowned by the hum Of the rising
clouds OF mosquitoes.
The long wet SPELL followed by the great
heat, seems to have been wonderfully help
full to insect growth. A diner In Fifth
avenue restaurant the other day created
mixed emotions among those who were
in the place by producing a cigarette box
from which he transferred two mosquitoes
10 an inverted tumbler. Both Of them
were as big az yellow jackets. He made
proclamation TO all who seemed interested
that he had caught them on train in New
Jersey.

GOOD WOMAN'S PLEA For BAD.
"Let Them Alone" Says Probation Onlcer
Ada Eliot.

New York police methods Of dealing with
fallen women were severely arraigned
Yesterday by Miss Ada Eliot. who spoke
before the Summer School in Philanthropic
Work on her duties and observations al
probation officer at the Court Of Special
Sessions.
Il found the girls in the courts very much
like myself" she said my next i'm
preston was OF the strong preponderance
OF human passions. My work has made
me very indulgent. l feel that the fault
Is more often with social conditions and
with environment than with individuals.
Il have come to the reluctant conviction
that prostitution il not necessity is at
least practical inevitability 1t will not
be changed for long time, until the stand
ards of the two sexes have more nearly
approached;
fully unfair. The public accepts them as
a necessity, but they are not permitted
anywhere. They are driven out OF the
tenements and or the streets. Detectives
follow them with patrol wagons like dog
oatohers. They are hunted down, but
everything else aside, they are women.
1The public, as individuals. pays these
women two or three times what they can
earn in any other manner for plying their
trade. The public as unit will not let
them rest.
"The effect is and must be very bad on
the women. They are picked up Oh the
street OF at a door by party Of officers
loaded into a patrol wagon before a crowd
of people, and perhaps held there for an
hour until the wagon is loaded. Then they
are carted OF to the Jail and tho workhouse,
where they are herded with the most
degraded characters.
"The effect on the men who arrest them
and detain them Is necessarily very bad
These women are bad, but none of them
has reached the lowest stage possible.
Such things push them one step lower each
time.
"Ithink that there cannot be many women
who feel more than do the hideousness
OF this thing My blood hoils when | think
to post, They are women, not beasts, and
they are doing what nine-tenths of the public
believes In an imperative necessity.

ness should be punished; but aside from
that, the only humane thing is TO let them
