.HANSBROUGH FOR
A MILD REVISION
North Dakotan's Tariff Plank
Not So Radical as the Iowa
Idea" People Want.
From a staff Correspondent.

From a staff Correspondent
Chicago, June 20.-Senator Hans
brough Of North Dakota, has made
public the tariff plank which he will
offer for the consideration of the
platform committee of the republican
national convention. It is as follows:
I'VE recommend an early adjust
ment of the rates of duty in existing
tariff schedules, to meet the require
ments of changed and changing busi-
ness conditions, and in the interest
of our commercial relations with other
countries"
1t was not the plan Of Mr.. Hans
brough to make the text Of his pro-
posed plank public in advance of it's
presentation to the committee, but as
he had been identified in some of the
Chicago Sunday newspapers with the
Iowa idea,'' and with Governor Cum
minis Of that state, he thought it best
to let the public know exactly what
he wants. His plank is not radical
enough for advocates of the iowa
idea" and it will probably be too rad
ical for the extreme protectionists Of
the convention; but he will make a
fight for it, just the same.
1t is the belief here that a number
of tariff planks will be proposed, most
of them radical in character. These
will of course be rejected. The Hans
brOugh plank may suffer a similar
fate, but if any is adopted, it will be
his, because of it's conservatism and
fairness.
Representative McCleary Of Mime
sofa, is advertised as being in Chi
cago with the officers of the American
Protective association, who represent
the ultra high protectionist sentiment
of the republican party. The asso-
citation has headquarters at the STRAIT
ford hotel.

CANADIANS WANT
NATIVE GENERAL
Ousting of Dundonald Another
Case of History Repeating
Itself.

Ottawa, Ont, June 20.-The earl Of
Dundonald has been relieved of the
command Of the Canada militia in
consequence of the speech he delivered
in Montreal at military banquet, in
the course Of which he denounced the
interference of Sydney Fisher, minis
ter Of agriculture, with the appoint
ment Of officers of the newly formed
Scottish Light Horse.
The order in council dismissing Lord
Dundonald was signed by Lord Mimic,
the government general. The order
thus characterizes the generals
course:
'It Is impossible to do otherwise
than characterize the speech of Lord
Dundonald as a grave act Of 1ndiscre-
ton and INSTRUMENTATION"

Of command Of the Canada militia,

War Correspondent Penetrates to Be-

indianapolis, June 20.-The In
dianapolis News has just received a
special cable from Hector Fuller, its
special staff war correspondent at
Chi-fu, giving the following account
OF his release from Port Arthur and
the situation inside the besieged fort
ress:
"Chi-fu, June 20.-After spending
five days In Russian prison I was
released and put on board a Chinese
junk and sent to this place.
THE stories of starvation in Port
Arthur spread by the Japanese are I'M
true, as stores and supplies are con-
stantly arriving at the besieged city
from Chinese ports. The Japanese
blockade Is ineffective.
THE garrison consists of between
$4,000 and $4,000 troops and the
health of both soldiers and civilians
is good.
'The damaged battleships have all
been repaired and the harbor entrance
cleared of obstruction. Immense
new forts have been constructed and
mediate danger Of falling into the
hands of the Japanese.
1.-THE Japanese attack by land and
sea made on the Sth inst. was easily
repulsed. I was the first correspond
ent to enter Port Arthur since the
blockade. began"
Mr. Fuller was rowed across to Port
Arthur from the Miau-tao islands by
two Cinnamon In an open boat and
was on landing June 10, seized,
blindfolded and thrown into a prison
fortress.
