TARIFF REVISION.
What the Feeling is in Minnesota and
the West

T. " knatvold, former state senator
in the Minnesota legislatu ture, and a candi-
date for the republican nomination 70,
Congress against James A. Tawney in the
first congressional district of that state last
year. is spending week in Washington.
Mr.. knatvold is a strong advocate of tar
iff modification, and particularly of remov-
ing the duties Of the tariff on lumber He
made his campaign on that issue and 1t
forced declaration from Representa- tive
Tawney that If reelected he would cham

ules Mr.. Tawney declared during his
campaign that the Fifty-eighth Congress If
republican would modify the Dingley rates.
II can see no encouragement." said Sen

tariff revision by the Flfty-eighth Congress.
Neither is the outlook bright for reciproc-
fty.
II believe that we people of the west who
favor tariff modification must make our
fight in the next ma ational republican con-
vention / am certain that Minnesota will
declare for tariff revision on lumber, steel
and other commodities. We; will probably
go further and be more specific than the
Iowa idea. The great fight will be. of
course, in the committee on resolutions of
the national convention.
I'VE fully understand the attitude of our
eastern republican brethren who are classed
as stand patters.. But we shall make a
fight for tariff reform and it will be live
issue In every county convention in the
north star state next year. We take the
position that no party can stand still and
we take no stock in the let-well-enough-
alone policy. The democratic party has
suffered defeat after defeat through its OBJ
tuse perverseness. There is a demand
among the business interests and among
the farmers for changes in the tariff. We
are for the protective policy where 1t is
needed to build up an industry. But we
will not stand for protection that is not
needed and is only maintained at the be-

HOPE FOR PANAMA CANAL.
Efforts Being Made by Colombia to
Save Negotiations.

A statement was today given out from
the State Department to the effect that a
telegram had been received last night from
Minister Beaupre at Bogota, dated August
II. which was the date Of the Colombian
senate vote against the. Panama canal
treaty. indicating that efforts are being
made by Colombia to find some practical
way of saving the canal negotiations The
telegram is indefinite, but the conclusion Is
drawn that the last hope that the treaty
may be resurrected from its untimely grave
Is not gone.
Unofficial. but what is considered entire
ly reliable. Information has been received
by DR.. Herran. the Colombian charge
d affaires here. indicating an intention cn
the part Of the Colombian senate to resume
consideration of the subject of Panama
canal treaty in place of the one dsapproved
by that body on the 18th instant.
This shows decided change in the turn
Of affairs and leads DR.. Herran to hope
that measure yet will be passed by con-
gress which will form the basis for the
ratification of a treaty between the United
States of Colombia and the United States
of America for the construction of an 18TH
mian canal.
DIR. Herran's information is that on the
18th instant. the day after the disapproval
of the treaty by the senate, that body
voted to appoint a committee of three men,
bers to act Jointly with a committee from
the; house of representatives in the forma-
ton OF a measure having for its object the
ratifca ton of a treaty between the two
countries by the executive of Colombia
after the two houses of the Colombian con-
gress had passed enabling act outlining
the terms and conditions on which a treaty
should be drawn.
The president of Colombia by this act
would have full power in the premises, and
the treaty would not have to be afterward
submitted to the Colombian congress. The
scheme is similar in it's intent to the pro-
visions of the Dingley tariff act, which
gave authority to the President to nego-
tiate reciprocity treaties with foreign pow
ers, except that in that case they had to
be ratified by the United States Senate.
The idea contained in the proposition is
not dissimilar to the Spooner act itself, as
this act gave authority to the President to
begin negotiations with the governments
of Nicaragua and Costa Rica in the event
that he was unable to reach a satiSfa ctory
agreement with Colombia for a right of
way for the Panama canal
A more careful reading of the dispatch
which DIR. Herran received early in the
week announcing the action of the senate
on tie treaty shows that what that body
really did was to 'disapprove' the instru-
ment. and not reject" it,, as has been
stated heretofore. The question of SOW
ereignty having been the predomina ting
one in the Colombian debates, the pre-
sumption here is that whatever mea sure is
agreed on as basis for a treaty will be
along lines that will aot-offend Colombian

TENSION IN FAR EAST.
Russian Pact Called for as
Counte1p poise TO American Influence.

BERLIN, August pa news agency dis
patch received here from Port Arthur says:
From the different provinces of China
come reports of rising which threatens to
involve the whole country. The semi-offi-
cial Novkkrai says:
THE moment has come when. in view of
the antagonism of German and British in
terests. an Anglo Russian rapprochement is
desirable as a countcrpoise to the move
ment in Germany and America, which is
crossing the interests of Russia and Great
Britain. and to the activity of Japan, which
Britain. and to the activity of Japan, which
low Bosphorus. At present Russian and
British interests now here clash An An
slo- Russian alliance is possible, and 1t is
also necessary in order to protect Europe
against the yellow danger!
The Novkkrai proceeds to strongly at
tack the Russian papers which urge Russia
to wind uD her affairs in Manchuria and
which describe her policy in the far east as
costly blunder.
A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette from
ST Petersburg, dated yesterday, says:
THE situation in the far east is becom-
ing more acute. Even in Manchuria the
Chinese are assuming insolent attitude
toward the Russians, particularly toward
the troops.
AT one place stones were thrown at the
commander of the troops. While all Rus
slams are the objects of insult a spirit of
opposition to the Chinese government ia
also manifested"

LABOR CONDITIONS.
No Order Of President for Investigat-
ing the DEPARTMENTS.

Considerable comment has been excited
regarding an alleged order of the President
for sweeping investigation into the labor
conditions of the various departments.
Statements have been published to the ef-
feet that the President is desirous of know
ing whether or not there is strict COM
pliance with the principle laid down by the
anthracite coal commission that no person
shall be refused employment or in any way
Disseminated against on account of mem
bership or non-membership in any labor
organization" 1t Is stated that the Presi-
dent has written to Secretary Cortelyou
and has instructed him to begin an imme-
date investigation. and that all of the
other cabinet officers who have labor in
terests of any kind in their departments
will begin an investigation to that the
government is complying with the law.
Secretary Cortelyou stated this morning
that he had nothing whatever to say on
the matter. He said he had authorized no
st ztement and would authorize none His
daties relate solely to his own department.
and what the other cabinet officers might
be doing he had no idea
1t is not believed by those familiar with
the situation that President Roosevelt has
ordered any such investigation that he
will do SO. The whole question of whether
or not the government. through its execu-
tive department. will legalze the shutting
out of union men was brought to the
surface with the Miller case and has been
agitated by labor leaders and anti-admin-
istration newspapers The Miller case was
the first one of it's kind that President Roose-
welt has had to deal with, which was
brought SO prominently into the public eye.
It has been generally known throughout
the government service that while the
President might favor union men and the
union principle, he has not the authority,
nor has any cabinet officer, it Is said to
discriminate against non-union men. 1t is
believed that at the time the Miller case
was first brought up an inquiry was made
as to the methods of dealing with such
cases for the information of those con-
cerned and that the members Of the cabi-
net were requested to state their opinions
and practices in similar cases. In this
manner the President obtained Just what
he wanted-an idea as to what had been
done in the departments heretofore and the
rule In such matters-and 1t is believed
that the rule is precisely what the anthra-
cite coal co.npiiss. IN laid down as a guild
ing principle for the coal magnates Thus
1t would seem an investigation such as 10
sketched in the published discussions of
( the aliegel acs;cI. OF the President would
be unnecessary and uncalled for.

Uncle Sans Great Riches.


Uncle Sam is really so rich in gold and
not know what to do with the accumula-
ton. If bonds are bought and added to the
sinking fund. as was the policy of Secretary
Gage. that would reduce the amount of
bonds available for security for circulation
and deposits still further and give the banks
more trouble about procuring government
bonds except at a high and practically un-
profitable price Such men as Senator Aid
rich point to the fact that the high price Of
bonds practically prohibits national banks
from increasing their circulation in times
when more currency is needed. To make
the basis of this circulation scarcer would.
they claim, be dangerous.
Secretary Gage followed this course.
however. unGer the firm belief that there
should be some other way of permitting
banks TO put out circulation and that 1t
was foolish that the United States should
maintain big bonded debt merely that there
should be Il basis for the circulation of ma
tional banks. He held to the idea that the
United States should owe as little as pos
sible. and that when it had a lot of spare
cash on hand the best policy was to use
that cash to reduce it's interest-bearng
debt He believed that public opinion
would force financial legislation that would
make some provision for asset other
currency that would not require SO much
security in the way of bonds.
Exclusive of government cash in national
panks, the amount of which has been given,
there is in the treasury proper an available
cash balance of something like $16O0O,O00,
which will continue to grow from now on
owing to the increasing excess OF receipts
over expenditures. 1t has been admitted
for many years that $40 600 900 or $50 O00-
0OO Is safe amount for the United States
10 Keep as a working balance The first
hfure Is about conservative one. 1t is
said. There is now in the treasury, there
fore. $36.O00.OO0 that is not needed in gov
ernment business, and that could be used
to buy bonds or place with national banks.

GREAT BRITAIN PASSIVE.
Mediterranean Squadron Not Ordered
to Turkish Waters.

LONDON August 1l-The admiralty TO-
day denied the Daily Chronicles staten ent
that Admiral Domvile. commanding Ihe
British Mediterranean squadron. now off
the coast of Portugal. had received urgent
orders to immedia tely dispatch some "f
his ships to the vicinity of Salonica.
The officials informed the Associated
Press that nothing had been done regarding
the dispatch of a British force to Turkish
waters. and it was not expected that such
action would be taken. in view of Great
Britain's announced support of the policy
of Russia and Austria, unless d radical
change in the situation occurs.
The British foreign Office has been notified
of the orders issued to the Italian squad
ron, which appear to have been communi-
Gated TO all the capitals, and which tHe

Italy intends to withdraw in the slightest
degree from cooperation with the powers.
Austria and Macedonia.
The Austrian embassy vouches for the
continuance up TO the present of the har-
monious agreement between the powers
relative to Macedonia.
Neither the Austrian. Russian nor italian
embassies have any knowledge of the re-
ported exchanges of communications be-
tween the continental powers in regard to
a joint naval demonstration of Salonica.
Great Britain is playing minor role, let
ting Russia and Austria AXE the lead. and
is not disposed to give encouragement to
the insurgents by engaging in naval dem
onstration. which. it is considered. could
only be construed as directed against the
Turkish government.
All the embassies here unite in the state

aggerated.
