LET THE PEOPLE SAY
WHEN TARIFF REVISION SHALL
BE UNDERTAKEN.
Senator Hoar Urges That Changes In
Our Protective System Be Not Made
Until the People Shall Have Passed
Upon the Question at the Polls.

Senator Hoar dropped some pearls
of wisdom and sound policy in his
speech at the dinner of the Essex club
on the 10th of September. THE
Grand Old Man" of Massachusetts was
easily the star among the speakers.
He usually is in any company. He
talked about the tariff, about foreign
trade and about reciprocity, and it was
clear Drained, wholesome talk, that
was alike timely and pertinent. Tariff
revision, he said, might become neces-
sary, just as 1t is necessary to some
times revise the statutes of Massachu-
sets; "but," said the wise statesman
and profound economist, you cannot
be doing it all the time, because,
whenever you are doing it business II
thrown into confusion and uncertain
ty." In the course of time, he added
and no protectionist disputes this
changes may be required in the most
satisfactory and the most scientific
tariff schedules, but the time to make
such changes, he insisted, was not in
the year before presidential election,
but after a presidential election, when
the changes can be made in accord
with the instructions of the people.
Note the qualification: Tariff changes
should only be made in obedience to
the expressed will of the people. The
Dingley law, having been enacted in
response to the demand of the sover-
eign people, may not and must not be
changed in any essential particular
until the people shall have declared
their wishes through the ballot box
That is the thought which the Ameri.
can Economist has again and again
urged as the guiding principle in all
tariff changes, whether by legislation
or by any other method. 1t is also the
thought which Senator Hoar enter

Crystal stood Up. He had finished

moments loss of time to relieve the
man who has relieved him, supposing
it to be his watch on deck.
"a pity you didn't sail in any other
ship than the Thetis. Laura" said he,
and with glance at Pope, that
seemed malevolent owing to the shad-
ow with which his scar dyed it, he
trudged up the short steps.

Pope, leaning back, and gazing at her

When everything had been conveyed

which the girl thought no man had
ever surpassed.
"All the same" says Crystal gloom
lily and sullenly, "if shift, as he calls
it, you shift with me-"
"You arc not grateful, you are not
even gracious" she answered.
He said, with an oath, you are in
love with him"
On which she rose and went to hel
cabin.
Crystal finished his dinner. 1t was
not yet three bells; he drank two
strong tumblers Of rum and water
then joined Pope on deck. Half q
score of the pirates had collected
about the stuff. The rest of the crew
were at this time slowly coming for
ward though three bells had not been
struck. Pope stood with folded arms
gazing down at the mail bags, but il
was sure his thoughts were not with
them. Lifting his eyes, he saw Crys
tai, and without the least menace Of
manner, though without any hint OF
cordially, either, he put his hand
upon the rugged mans shoulder, and
drew him to the rail away from the
listeners.
"Ye don't want to go adrift, John?'
"Not without my cousin"
"See here" says Pope, taking 9
step so as to command Crystals face

He rounded on his heel and walked
away to the pile of plumber, and Crys
tai at the rail watched him under thu
shadow of his scar with his braiI
fashioning a scheme whose one prim
airy and essential feature was-and h
was not too drunk to conceive it
that he must stick to the brig.

the hatch.
The cabin man was preparing the
table for dinner. Laura sat down upon
a locker and sank into thought.
On sudden Pope's door opened and
the captain stepped forth. He started
with look of transport on beholding
her, and instantly approached and
seated himself at her side. He made
as ii he would take her hand, checked
himself, but selfrestraint fired his
cheek with blood, and she thought he
looked handsomer than she had ever
before seen him.

Others"
"What will be your share?"
"Say two thousand pounds" he an
swered, smiling at these inquiries,
which were made charming to him
by the beautiful face he looked at.
"Can you make the rest satisfy the
men, so as to end this voyage and
save your lives?"
81 cannot live upon the interest OF
two thousand pounds" answered Pope
with a sigh, "and shall not make the
halter longer by extending my cruise
and enlarging my estate. But / am

This was significant, and so we're

ment intended to make love, his pas

In fact. the cabin dinner was ready.
Crystal was called, Grlndal was shout
ed for and took charge. and the two
captains and the young lady seated
themselves.
II was plain from Crystals face that
he continued in bad temper. Though
Pope could not but cast from time to
time an adoring glance at Laura, he
refrained from making direct love to
her under Jonathan's nose. When they
we're seated Pope said:
miss Crystal is uneasy about you
and me, Johnny; she would have us

and hanged. have told her that we
are not yet rich enough"
"She need not trouble herself with

Laura's eyes rested upon his fine face,
and Crystal noticed the look. The
square man put down his quadrant,
and he and Laura fell a-paclng the
deck, Pope descending.
The cousins walked the deck for a
little while in silence. Crystal then
suddenly said, screwing his eyes into
the extremity of their sockets so as
to observe the girl without turning
his head:
what dye think of Pope?"
Hes a very gentleman'y sailor"
she answered, with a slight smile.
"He's much too handsome, dignifed
and well-bred to be pirate"
CRYSTALS mouth widened in grin,
but there was little or no mirth in the
grimace.

any relation of his marry pirate"
"Why not?" said Laura coolly.
"The Crystals are a respectable old
family and pirates are hanged" said
Crystal in a low note.
Aren't you a pirate" cried the
beautiful girl, ''and aren't you likely to
be hanged?

caused the evil-eyed helmsman to
start and stare. See this it's this
that will save the Crystals from dis

his breast.
"You brighten me more than ever
Capt. Pope does" said Laura, who
had turned little pale, though she
spoke steadily. 81 would rather be
protected by him than by you. You're
in bad temper and look terrible.

sideration, and I'll go downstairs until

CHICAGO December 2.-In a collision
between the north-bound trains the
South Side elevated railroad today. at the
61st street station. Harry Cottell, mo-
torman. was fatally hurt and several of
the passengers seriously injured
The fog and frost on the rails were re-

At almost the same moment several per-
sons were injured in collision between
two Cottage Grove avenue cable trains at
31st street.
While the guards on the elevated train
were holding the gates shut in order to
prevent the passengers from jumping to
the tracks and possibly being electrocuted
the wires in one of the coaches became
crossed starting fire in the crowded car.
The cry of Fire." caused a panic. Win
dows were smashed and rush was made
for the doors. Charles F. Redman. one of
the passengers, more collected than the
others. caught a fire extinguisher and broke

His example was quickly followed by
others. In the fight to extinguish the
flames one OF the eXtinguishers struck Red

CLAIMS OF CUBAN VETERANS.
President Palma Confronted With an
Enormous Increase.

Mr.. Squiers, United States minister to
Cuba, called at the State Department today
to discuss the Cuban situation with Secre-
tary Hay. The delay in acting upon the
pending Cuban reciprocity bill is doing
much to interfere with sugar shipments,
but the Cubans appear to be reconciled to
the prospect of a final ratification.
President Estrada Palma is striving to
adjust the claims of the veterans of the
Cuban army for back pay, but is confronted
with an enormous increase in the amount
of these claims, which, originally about
$4,000, 900 in the aggregate, have now in
creased to $52.O00,0OO.
In addition the civilians who were en-
ployed by the revolutionary government
before Cuban independence was achieved
have united to present their claims for
compensation, the allowance of which
would increase the total amount which the
Cuban government must borrow to no less
than $75,0OO.000.

float a loan of s35000.000 has returned to
Havana and is now seeking to modify the

REPORT ON COTTON G1NNED.
Estimate on the Crop to Be Printed To-

The census bureau today issued a report

7.07O43
OF these 6,519332 We're square bales and

Counting round bales, the number this year

but statistics of such cotton Will be IN
cluded i'm the final report for this season.
This report will be followed by two others,
showing the quantity of cotton glnned from
the growth of this year to December l3'
1903 and to January 1G, 1901.
No estimates are given of the amount OF
cotton remaining LEginned. The census
agents were asked to submit these eSu-
mates but the census bureau has not even
computed them as returned, turning them
over to the bureau of statistics of the De-
partment of Agriculture to aid that Office
in the annual estimate of the cotton crop,
to be issued tomorrow. The reason Tor
this as announced by the census bureau, Is
that when the final reports were received
year ago lit appeared that the estimates
of the agents, made in October. were six
and four-tenths per cent short of the actual
crop grown. A margin of error so large as
that is equal to the difference between a
short crop and q normal crop; and under
the peculiar conditions existing in the cot
ton market today the census bureau does
not feel warranted in publishing any figures
in which SO large an element of error may
exist again."
The policy of cooperation between the
census and Agricultural Department is
adopted on the recommendation of Secre-
tary Cortelyou of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, to avoid conflicting re-
norris q g far as pOSSihie.

Government Reports Awaken Cotton
Market at New York.

NEW YORK. December 2.-Great activity
and excitement had been expected at the
opening of the cotton market this morning
owing to the census bureau report at mid
day. but the scenes on the floor of the ex-
Change where brokers were showing and
pushing and clamoring in their wild rush
to buy or sell, surpassed anything that has
been witnessed since the spectacular days
of the old July corner.
The interests involved were tremendous.
Trading has been extraordinarily active all
the season. and perhaps never before has
there been so large speculative interest
in the market, all standing to win or lose
on the report Of the census bureau.
The opening was an advance of 13 to 10
points. and the first influx of covering

the 12-cent mark. that month selling at

and as the demand from shorts grew some

were scored, though the undertone never
lost its strength or excitement

lombian Envoy's Propositions.

DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge, called
at the State Department again today and
arranged with Secretary Hay that the lat
ter should formally receive General Reyes

tor discussed at some length with the Sec
retary the existing situation. but will! leave
1t to General Reyes to broach any sugges-
tions with which he may have been
charged by the Colombian government look
ing TO a settlement of the dispute between
Colombia and Panama.
Secretary Hay will give courteous re-
ception to General Reyes and a patient
hearing to any propositions he may have to
unfold. But 1t is clear that in the view of
the administration the steps taken by the
United States to Panama cannot be re-
traced, and it follows that Panama being
in actual possession of the right of way of
the canal there can be no negotia tfons with
Colombia looking to the acquisition from
her of any right to the canal strip.

on Secretary Hay a few minutes after the
departure of DR.. Herran to ascertain the
latest advices from the isthmus.
