REPUBLICANS ARE DIVIDED.
Those in Favor of Reciprocity Read
Out of the Party by a Pro-
lection Organ.

The spasmodic efforts Of the factions
Of the republican party in several
states to throw of the incubus of the
stand pat" protectionists has another
revival, especially in Massachusetts,,
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota and to some extent in
Illinois. They are demanding that the
republican national convention declare
for reciprocity, especially with Cana
da. Hundreds of manufacturers and
business men of Massachusetts have
signed an endorsement of such legisla-
ton, also, to endorse ex-Congressman
Foss for delegate to the republican ma
t.onal convention. The Boston Trans
cript OF April 2, a republican newspa-
per, publishes half a page containing
the anne of hundreds of those who
signed such endorsement and the
Transcript adds that there were hun
dreds of others. In the city of Brock
ton a partly personal canvass was
made to obtain signatures, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining if reciprocity SEN
timent was general or only spasmodic.
The result vas convincing. Practically
every business man approached signed
the endorsement. The republican ma
chimes in Massachusetts and the other
states, notably Iowa, are fighting tooth
and nail to prevent the spread of reci-
procity sentiment and to defeat Mr..
EnCG in 1aCConhnCntf Gov T,,y,n M / nj
in Iowa and Gov. La Toilette in Wis
consin.
In Iowa the protectionist ring is
making an especially bitter fight
against Gov. Cummins and the Protec-
tive Tariff league, through it's organ,
the Economist, says of him:
"Cummins and his followers have
shown themselves to be the enemies of
true republicanism. They have inau-
gurated a policy of rule or ruin and
they should be compelled to take the
consequences. Over and over again.
with brazen %effrontery and a degree of
zeal worthy of a better cause, he-Gov.
Cummins-has attempted to force upon
the republican party in his own state
and in the nation as we'll, doctrines
and policies that are in opposition to
settled republican principles"
When it is remembered that Gov.
Cummins demanded that the tariff that
shelters the trusts must be reformed
1t explains the vit%uperation of the
Economist, whose life depends upon
contributions from the trusts.
This fractional fight in the republi.
can ranks can be viewed with equa-
nimity, if not delight by democrats
for it may result in many republicans
voting for the democratic candidates
when they see their demands spurned
by the republican ring leaders. There
is no more hope for those republican
reformers now than in the past, though
they are more numerous and insistent
than heretofore. The only hope O.
tariff reformers is with the democrats
who are in favor of all and any re.
forms that will lessen the burden upor
the taxpayers and tighten the trust
load of high prices which the people
now have to bear.

THEY ARE EASILY DELUDED.
Republican Platform Plank That Il
Hewed Out to Fit a Ger
tain Hole.

At the republican state convention in
the Chicago convention, the platform
adopted declared "for modification of
the tariff schedules to suit changing
conditions and 'in favor of reciprocity
treaties with other countries for mu-
tual interest and to extend our markets.
No doubt, says the Indiapolis Sentinel,
Iowa, Wisconsin and other western
states will make similar declarations
and Massachusetts and some eastern
states may declare, as did the repub-
licans of Minnesota, for the protective
policy of the republican party How
can the tariff schedules be modified ITO
suit changing conditions" if the policy
of protection is to be upheld?
The republican organs of protection
are constantly %denouncing those repub-
licans who even favor reciprocity, let
alsne tariff reform. and have been pow
erful enough to defeat the ratification of
the reciprocity treaties that have been
before the senate since 1899, and ex-
pired by limitation in 1902. Does that
look like favoring reciprocity? The
truth about the whole matter is that the
republican party has no intention what
ever of reforming the tariff. 1t is COM
mitted absolutely to "protection"-to
the kind of protection that benefits the
trusts and combines, gives them prac-
tically a monopoly of the American mar
kets at their own prices and enables
them to sell their products to foreign
consumers at lower prices than they
charge at home. This is exactly the
situation. 1t is not denied.

HAS BEEN A TERRIBLE BLOW.
Succession of Tragedies Creates Com
sternatiOn in st. Petersburg.

Succession of Tragedies Creates Com
~sternation in st. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg, April 14.-The awful
disaster to the battleship Petropavlovsk
at Port Arthur, with the loss of al
most her entire crew of over 600 men
and the death of Vice-Admiral Maka-
rolf, has been a terrible blow. 1t
would have fallen less heavily if the
ship and the commander-in-chief of the
fleet had been lost in battle, but to be
the result of another accident, follow
ing upon the heels of a succession of
tragedies, of which the Port Arthur
fleet had been victim, has created some
thing like CONSERVATION.
"Reverses we can endure" said a
prominent Russian, ''but to have the
P~etropavlovsk meet the fate of the
Yenesei and the Boyarin Is h%eartbreak-
ing"
Besides, it has just become known
that the battlesEip Poltava several
weeks ago had a hole rammed in her
by the battleship Sevastopol, while the
latter was maneuyering in the harbor
of Port Arthur.
The day has been one of intense eX-
element in st. Petersburg. The first
inkling of the catastrophe leaked out
on the receipt of a telegram by Grand
Duke Vladimir from his son, Grand
Duke Boris, announcing the loss of the
Petropavlovsk and the wounding of
Grand Duke Cyril, who was first Off
Ger. The Grand Duchess Vladimir was
almost frantic on the receipt of the
telegram, being convinced that the
message was only a precursor of worse
news, as it was signed by Grand Duke
Boris, instead of by the aide to Grand
Duke Cyril, Lieut.. Won Kube.

The bodies of 20 dead Russians, the
telegram adds, were found after the
fight. Their uniforms showed that they

Finally, the dispatch says, that small
parties Of Russians without uniforms

TR0PHE THROUGH A MARINE
GLASS.

1t is possible that fuller details
will add to the news of the disaster
which resulted from n battle be-
tween the Russian squadron under
MakarofR and the Japanese fleet IN
der Togo, off the harbOr of Port Ar
thur, about daylight Wednesday
morning.
The news of what t~ranspired is
very meager, but the killing of Adj
miraI Makaroff and the loss of the
battleship with nearly all of it's Of
1icers and men is confirmed Off
ciaIly.
After the receipt of the news of
MakarOfY's death the military censor
committee called an extraordinary
session to pass upon the official
dispatches, which will probably be
given out soon.
A requiem mass for the repose of
the souls of yice-Admiral Makarof
and the officers and the crew of the
PetrOpavlovsk has been announced
to take place in the Admiralty
church Thursday.

here from Rear-Admiral Grigorovitch,
the commandant at Port Arthur, ad-

"Port Arthur, April 13.-The Petro-

her up and she turned turtle. Our

Japanese squadron was approaching.
Vice-Admiral Makaroff evidently was

is slightly injured. Capt. Jakovleff was
saved, though severely injured, as were
five officers and 80 men, all more or less

Circles.
Washington, April 14.-The news of
the death of Admiral Makaroff caused
a profound sensation in naval and mil
itary circles, for he was probably bet
ter known than any other Russian ma
val officer. This was because of the
fact that he had visited the United
States in 1861, and also commanded
the Russian north Pacific squadron,
which brought him into frequent con-
tact with American naval officers in
those waters, and sometimes into
American ports on the west coast. The
general opinion is that Makaroff was
an officer of sigular ability as a sailor,
being thoroughly scientific in his meth
DDS, of more than usual intelligence,
and of physical presence which gave
him a splendid power of command. In
the matter of personal bravery he had
no superior.

tropavlovsk disaster has created a pro-
found impression in official, naval and
military circles, where the feeling is
one of CONSERVATION. The officers speak
of the catastrophe with the deepest
emotion. The imperial family and
court were also deeply moved. The
news has only been circulated among
the high and middle classes, and as yet
has not reached the populace. Conse-
quently there were no scenes in the
streets this evening, and no special edi-
lions of the newspapers were issued.
