AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
GIVES TARIFF A LIFT
Higher Duties in Some Gases Than
Those of Germany.

BUDAPEST, Jan. 16.-In the lower
house of the Hungarian parliament to-
day, Premier Coleman de Sell, inform
ed the deputies that under the recent
Ru3gleich agreement a customs alliance
between Austria and Hungary had
been concluded for ten years The es-
sential points of the agreement were
Identical with similar previous. ar
rangementS.
The most important change is the
establishment of a custom tariff COM
mon to those two countries, and giving
the products of each half of the mon
archy an equality of treatment in the
other. The duties on wheat are raised
from 3A to 71a kroner, with a mini
mum duty of $50 kroner; rye, from 2.75
10 I kroner, with a minimum duty of
b.8O kroner; barley, from 1.55 to 4
kroner, with minimum of 2S0 kroner:
oats, from 10 to 6 kroner, with a mini
mum duty of 4.S0 wroner, and maize
from liz to 4 kroner, with a minimum
duty of 2.S0 kroner. The duty on oxen
is increased from 35 to so kroner: on
steers, from 8 to 80 kroner; on cows.
from to 80 kroner, and on calves.
from Z to Is kroner. The duty on pigs
is also increased.
VIENNA, Jan 16.-The extraordi-
nary high tariffs contained in the new
augleich provisions, announced today
in the Austrian and Hungarian parlia-
ments, have astonished even the
strongest agrarian protectionists. The

LESS FIERCE AGAINST
THE UNITED STATES
German Reichstag Not So Hasty to
Denounce the Treaty.

BERLIN, Jan. 16.-By a vote of 141
to 67 the reichstag today adopted the
substitute for the resolution of Baron
Heyl Zu Herrnsheim, asking the gov
ernment to denounce the most favored
nation treaties, which was directed
against the United States and Argen-
tina The substitute requested the
government to denounce treaties with
countries where experience showed
that the ost-favored- nation clause
was injurious to Germany's interest.
Baron Heyl Zu Herrnsheim withdrew
his resolution in favor Of the substi-
tute. The Socialists and Radicals
composed the minority.
During the debate Herr Gothein,
Radical Liberal, said the United States
observed the treaty Of 1928 loyalty, for
the favored nation clause in the
present sense was unknown prior to the
Anglo French treaty of 1861. Nov
that President Roosevelt has made a
treaty with Cuba, giving extraordinary
concessions to her sugar. the United
States will readily make us conces-
sions, because Germany is the best
customer. The great mistake of the
tariff convention was that we aban-
doned our agricultural interests for a
pittance."

MURDERED BY
JEALOUS LOVER
Chicago Girl Killed and Her
Slayer Shoots Himself
Fatally.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-E. J. Conlin, ly-
ing in wait for his sweetheart, Jennie
Dwyer, who had gone to a party to-
night with another suitor, shot and
killed her upon her return home. He
also shot Frank F. Merritt, of whom
he was jealous, and then turned the
weapon upon himself A bullet entered
his head and he will die
The shooting took place on the porch
OF the young woman's home, $500 Vim
cinnes avenue. Merritt and Miss
Dwyer were ascending the stairs when
the crazed lover sprang in front of
them from behind a storm door. He
had the revolver in his hand. Their
laughter as they came along the street
had frenZied him, and when they
mounted the steps he jumped from his
place Of concealment.
Don't shoot, Gene" exclaimed the
Mortified girl, as she turned to flee.
But Conlin was too quick for her He
grabbed her by the arm, and pressing
the revolver to her forehead fired.
She reeled down the steps and fell
dead
Merritt attempted to wrest the pistol
from the hand of the crazed lover, but
he was thrust aside. Another shot was
fired and the bullet lodged in Merritt's
jaw, causing a serious but not dan
gerous wound.
Thinking he had killed them both,
COnlin walked 2 few steps towards the
sidewalk and then shot himself in the
head.
Conlin became acquainted with Miss
DWyer about three years ago and had
been paying her attention up to a short
time ago, when he was told he need
call at the house no longer He in
sisted upon calling there, however, and
Miss Dwyer had refused to see him
upon his last visit

BRETON DIALECT
FORBIDDEN PRIESTS
French Government Winas
Victory in the Chamber
of Deputies.

PARIS, Jan. 16.-An Interpolation on
the governments circular forbidding
the use of the Breton dialect in preach
ing and catechiSing in the churches of
Brittany was debated in the chamber
of deputies today. NJ. Lany, Republic
an-Lfberal Deputy from Brittany, de-
nounced the circular as vexatious and
tyrannical. He said that over 740, 900
inhabitants of Brittany could speak
only Breton.
ITO forbid the teaching of the cate
chism in Breton is to suppress the
Catholic religion in Brittany" he said,
1T is also the suppression of the
Breton dialect, one of the precious i'd
IONS Of France, which has a place in
the literary history of the country"
Premier CombeS defended the meas
ure as necessary. He said the priests
ought to be auxiliaries to the teachers
and aid in the propagation of the
French language, and that his circular
only reproduced a similar order issued
by his predecessor, M. Fallieres. The
government could not allow the priests
of Brittany to oppose the propagate
of the national language.
1T would seem,' continued the pre-
nlier, according to certain deputies,
that certain inhabitants of Brittany
were Bretons before they were French
men,"
This remark raised a storm of pro-
tests, number of deputies shouting,
you insult u.s."
Premier Combes asserted that he
would vigorously enforce the circular
by suppressing the salaries Of those
priests who disobeyed it.
The chamber, by 349 to 1S5, voted an
order of the day approving the decla-
rations of the government. There
have thus been won, yesterday and to-
day, handsome majorities for the gov
ernment in the first two debates, in
which the governments policy in the
religious struggle, which is now fairly
under way, was attacked
That the government is enforcing it's
circular is proved by a telegram re-
ceived from Brest this evening, an
nouncing the suppression of the sala-
ries of thirty-one priests who persisted
in the use Of the Beton dialect in
teaching the catechism in their par
ishes. 1t is said that the bishop of
Quimper, Finisterre, has advised the
priests to continue to preach and cat
echise in Breton when their congrega-
ton understand only that language.

HOW IRISHMEN
HELPED THE BOERS
Col. Blake Says CIan-na Gael Claims
Credit Falsely.

PAWTUCKET, r. l.. Jan. 16-Before
the members of several Irish societies,
at a reception given in his honor to-
night, Col. John Y. F. Blake, leader of
the Irish brigade in the Boer war, made
what he said was his first statement as
to the financial assistance given to
Irishmen in the field by societies in
this country. The statement came as
a surprise. He said that the Gamma
Gael claimed to have appropriated $1O,-
600 with which to bring home the Irish
brigade from South Africa, and that
the people now are inquiring about the
expenditure of that money.
He disclaimed having received any
money from the organization and had
knowledge of only two sums of money
sent to the Transvaal. He said he un-
derstood that $4,000 was first sent to
bring home a detachment of the Chi
cago ambulance corps, but this was not
fact The Boer government paid the
passage of the detachment from Del
agoa Bay to New York and supplied
each man with an additional $40. Short
ly after the detachment left DeIagoa
Bay the $4,000 was received by United
States Consul Hollis at Delagoa Bay,
but as the detachment sailed before
the money arrived, Mr.. Hollis return
ed the money to the parties who sent
it and got his receipt.
Col. Blake further said that after
hostilities ceased he wrote a letter to
John F. Finerty, of Chicago, request
ing him to forward $4,000 to pay the
passage of a detachment of men from
/ South Africa, promising repayment and
interest.
Just before leaving for Cape Town
Col. Blake took twenty-five men to
United States Consul Gordon at Johan
nesburg and gave him power of attor-
ney so that If the money came from
Mr.. Finerty the consul could use it in
sending the men back to America. He
ceived word from United States Con-
sui Gordon that the money was receiv-
ed and later he learned that his men
received second class passage and each
took $25 expenses and that United
States Consul Gordon returned e131
to the Clan -na-Gael. Issue is taken
with officers Of the Clan-na- Gael over
their failure to help the Irishmen in
the field. Col. Blake said:
Il would like to know why the Irish
| in America did not do something for
the Beers cause. The Clan-na-Gael
has been claiming the credit of sending
out the Chicago ambulance corps when,
/ in fact, the corps was sent out by
money raised by private subscription
independent of all organizations"

STOCKMEN TO
FIGHT TRUST
National Association Re-
solves to Enter Upon a
Systematic Campaign.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 16.-The
sixth annual convention of the National
Live Stock convention adjourned this
afternoon to meet next year at Port
land, Or, after electing all the old Of
t1cers for the ensuing year and taking
the initiative In a systematic campaign
OF legislation against the proposed
packing house merger.
w. M. Springer, general counsel Of
the association, in a spirited address,
outlined a bill which he had formulat-
ed ito protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and mo-
nopolies," and which he said was mere
ly an adaptation of the Sherman anti
trust law and the HOar bill
In the discussion that followed Pres
ident John w. Springer said that a
bill along the lines suggested by Judge
Springer would be printed within a
week by the association and sent to
every legislature in the land. Presi-
dent Springer said that if the proposed
merger was ever consummated, the Ma
tional Live Stock association would
string packing houses from Chicago to
San Francisco. In response to an ap-
peal from the executive committee for
legislative working fund $500 was
subscribed in less than thirty minutes
A resolution introduced by Frank NJ
Stewart, of South Dakota, protesting
against the packing merger, was adopt
ed. 1t says:
While we fully appreciate the nat
ural desire of the men who have risked
such enormous capital in the building
up Of the packing industries to protect
that capital from ungoverned and un-
reasonable competition which might
prove disastrous to all, yet we believe
that the plan will lead to the more
feared dangers of uncontrolled greed
and avarice, and as the producers of
the raw material, we must naturally
protest against the unreasonable tax
that will necessarily be placed on our
labor and investments through the
adoption of the plan proposed"
The addresses today included one
by William M. Springer on "The Pro-
posed Merging of the Packing Plants
of This Country, the Effects and REM
edy;" one by Capt. Britton Davis, Chi
huahua, Mexico, on THE Live Stock
Industry in Mexico and It's Relations to

gramme includes addresses by S. E.

STEAMER ST. LOUIS
ARRIVES SAFELY
Sighted Off Nantucket and
Will Reach New York
Today.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Word reached
this city this evening that the Ameri-
can line steamer st. Louis, from South
ampton, Jan. 8, for New York, was
sighted off Nantucket lightship at 40
o'clock this evening. Signals were made
to the South Shore lightship, but o.
ing to the fact that a heavy gale was
blowing, they were unintelligible. The
slow rate of speed at which the ST.
Louis was travelling indicates that un-
less it should be assisted it will T)ot
reach New York until late Saturday
night. Appearances indicated that the
St. Louis was short of steam power
and the signals were thought to imply
that trouble with her boilers had been
experienced.
Clement A. Griscom Jr. said tonight
that the agents of the line had heard
nothing of the st. Louis beyond the
fact that she had been sighted. 1t was
not. considered necessary, he said, to
dispatch a vessel to her assistance, as,
if aid be needed, the st. Louis will
have ample opportunity to signal for
it when she arrives off Fire island. He
does not expect that the st. Louis will
reach Sandy Hook before noon tomor-

Gov. Toole Indorses Jenkins.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 16.-Gov.
Toole believes that congress has power
to seize and operate the coal mines
of the East as provided by the Jenk-
ms resolution, introduced in the lower
house of congress Wednesday. He
said:
yes, l believe congress has power to
seize and operate coal mines. Owners
should, of course, be duly compensated
for their property. In fact it would be
nothing more nor less than a condem-
nation proceeding. have read of In
stances where rich people have closed
their houses and gone South for the
winter because they could not secure
coal for heating purposes. The poor,
and, of course the majority, of the
people, cannot take advantage of this
remedy to alleviate suffering, and
therefore, While naturally opposed to
such seizure, would justify it on
these grounds alone.
No one would suffer so far as I can
see by such procedure, while the bene-
fits derived would be universal. Own
ers would receive what their property
is worth and the people would be sup
piled with coal, for it is doubtless a
fact that fuel is being boarded in
order to secure higher prices and a
valuable lesson would be taught at
the same time.'
