.STAND-PATS UNEASY
PRESIDENT DOES NOT PROPOSE A SURRENDER.
In Order to Bring About . Revision of the Tarin, 1t h Necessary that
 Extrn Session Be Held.

Washington, Dec. 2.-(special)- There are not a few people not of the standpat faction who have lately been to the White House who bring away the significant statement that the Pres ident has given not the slightest en- couragement to Congressman who have l insisted there was no need of revising the tariff. .. Hs.
 It seems now to be plain that if MT Roosevelt should yield to the stand patters and do nothing, he would su- pinely surrender and that Is what he does not propose to do.
 Louis T. Kitchener of Indiana, for merly Attorney General of that State. | and a close friend of President Harri. son. said this morning. in speaking of | his observation in the Middle West or the tariff question::
 | There can, be no question whatever of the fact that the plain people of this country think some notifications ought to be made in the present tariff. They have that idea in their heads. If their wish in this respect should be disre- | garded, they would make themselves heard and felt"
 Representative John A. T. Hull, long identified with the stand pat" faction of Iowa Republicans. while declining to be quoted on the question of re- vision. does bring out the interesting point that unless revision can be ac- complished at an extra session next year, it cannot be accomplished at all in the next Congress. The common sense time for approaching such a problem would be at an extra session, | when the congressional campaign was | not pressing upon the members, las it did upon the ones who framed the Me- Kinley tariff act of 1890, and MT. Hull says that If the forces of opposition | are strong enough to prevent an extra session now they would certainly be strong enough to prevent action in a regular session next Decemhef Wheth- CT desirable or not, tariff revision will come in an extra session next year or not in the Fifty ninth Congress, which I will go out of power March 4. 1907. | R. H. Watkins.

and to the policy of the Department in discouraging changes in fourth class postmasters except for cause.
 Mir. Bristow recommends to Congress that the Interstate Commerce law be amended so as to prohibit common car- riers, to wit: Telegraph and express companies, or any of their employees, from aiding and abetting in green goods or lottery swindles or any other scheme carried on partly by mail and partly 'by common carrier and which Is in violation of the postal laws The report shows that during the year 1,593 postoffices were robbed: there were sixty depredations on railway postof- fees. star routes, rural delivery routes and screen wagon service. There were $40 robberies of street and rural free delivery letter boxes. Sixty-six postal cars were burned and wrecked and 560 postoffices were burned,x
 There were 2.397 man pouches lost. damaged or rifled. sc '
 The above figures show an increase in the number of postoffices burned and the number of letter boxes robbed. This increase in the number of letter boxes, robbed is due to the growth of the rural free delivery service, these boxes being placed upon the public highway and more subject to depreda- tion than city boxes.

NEW YORK posTMAsTERsHIP.
He Has Been Decided On, But Name is
 Withheld.


 Washington. Dec. 2.-"The question of the appointment of a postmaster at New York to succeed the late Postmas- CT Cornelius Van Cott has been settled by the President, but cannot say anything about the prospective ap- pointee tonight. An appointment win he made by the President in few days John A. Merritt, now postmaste" at Washington, will be reapp"ihted to that position"
 The above statement was made to- night by Senator Thomas q. ?lsty of New York after n conference with President Roosevelt at the White House winch lasted more than an hour The senator with Mrs. Plat hnd arrived from New York during the afternoon preparatory to the re- convenying of congress next Monday He went to the White House about 9 o'clock In accordance with a prear- ranged understanding with the presi- dent.
 Of the several names which the pres ident is said to have under considera- tion for the place, the statement Is made that MT. Platt is opposed to Marcus M. Marks whom the president favored and that the senator was fav- orable to either Theodore Gilman of New York city or William NJ. Wilcox to whom the president was said to be not opposed. The impression tonight in some circles is that the choice lies between Gilman and Wilcox although no official information on the subject is available.
 Mir Merritt who has been selected for re-appointment to the postmaster ship of this city was heartily endorsed by Senator Platt. MT. Merritts term expired some months ago but the ques- tion of the appointment of hls suc- cessor was deferred from time to time by the president until it was finally decided to let 1t go until after the campaign had closed.

THE INNSBRUCK AFFAIR
ECHO IN THE ITALIAN CHAMBER
 OF DEPUTIES.
rorei~u Minister Tittoni Practically Adr,sts That . Protest In Some
 Form Has Been Made to Austrta.

Rome. Dec. 2.-In the Chamber of
 Deputies today Signors Brunialti and
 Barziali interpollated the government
 on inc subject of the rcent anti-1talian
 disturbances at Innsbruck. Austria
 ForieRn Minister Tittoni replied de-
 plorins the incident but adding that
 acording to internationai law the italian government couid not interfere
 with troubles which related to inter- nal affairs of a foreign country. He
 added:
 My opponents ask that if the rules
 of international law forbid official rel monstrances, the ties of alliance jus tifv advice or a friendly exchange of views with Austria about events which although circumscribed within the confines of one state, move pubic opin- ion in a neighboring state. Naturally both the Austrian foreign minister and
 myself. even independently or the Innsbruck affair, occupy ourselves with anything capable of agitating public opinion in either country. with that cordiality and loyalty characterizing our relations: but tehse friendly ex- changes of views, even 1T they oc- curred about the events now under discussion. would cease to be friendly upon assuming an official aspect or If communicated to the respective parlia- ments."
 This declaration. is regarded as a practical admission that the Italian | foreign office had made friendly re- monstrances to Austria regarding the Innsbruck affair.
 The minister further remarked that the authorities of Innsbruck had be- hayed in the most correct manner in the measures they adopted and the
 same must be said of the central gov ernment of Austria, especially referr- ing to the statement made by the Premier, Dr. Won Koerber, who also deplored the opposition to the Italian faculty of Innsbruck University. The minister concluded with saying that such events must not lessen the cor diality of the relations with their neighboring : ally. Signor Brunialti said he was not satisfied with the minister's explanation. He thought that the ministry should adopt more energetic attitude and protect citizens of Italian nationality.
 Signor Barziali made violent at- tack upon Austria. particularly de- nouncing the manner in which Austria treats the inhabitants of the former Italian provinces an depressing his sympathy with the Italians still un- der the Hapsburgs who show such a heroic spirit of self sacrifice" The remarks of Barziali were greeted with loud cheers.

TO CONTROL RETAIL TRADE.
Reichstag Favors Bill to Regulate
 Competition.

Berlin, Dec. 2.-The Reichstag, after two days debate, today adopted reso- lution asking the Government to intro duce a bill for the protection of the middle commercial classes against great combinations of capital in the retail trades.
 The resolution contemplates a fur ther extension of the law against un- fair competition and the regulation of closing out sales so as to prevent bogus advertisements, also seeks a remedy against the hardships caused by sales on the installment plan.
 Finally, the resolution demands the prohibition of Government officials, in- oluding army and navy officers, from cummings cooperative department stores.
 The Socialists opposed the resolution at every point as being an inadequate measure and as tending to hinder na- tural economic tendencies. Herr Mis- sen, Conservative, called the depart ment stores the "cancerous evil of the times"

Funeral of Mime. Janauscheck.

New York, Dec. "A little band of theatre people gathered in the chapel of local undertaker's establishment to- day to take part in the funeral services over the body of Mime. Francesca Romano Janauscheck, the once noted actress who died last Wednesday in a home on Long Island. The very simple ceremony was in marked contrast to the many stirring events of her long life. It consisted of the reading of the brief service of the Roman Catholic Church and eulogy by Milton Nobles, a member of the executive committee of the Actors Fund, which cared for Mime. Janauscheck in her declining years.
