Wants His Record Cleared.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-The
senate committee on military affairs
again has interested itself in the case
of Robert G. Gregg, second ieuten-
ant of an Ohio volunteer regiment,
who, in March, 1900, was court-mar-
tailed at Manila, and dismissed from
the army for conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman" Gregg was act
ing as adjutant to Maj. Kirkman and
together they became intoxicated. Both
were court -martialed and both dis
missed, but in the case of Kirkman
congress took action to restore him to
the rank of captain, which he had held
In the regular army. Gregg has asked
that his record be cleared and the mil
itary committee has recommended
favorable report on a bill for that pur-
pose, introduced by Senator Penrose.
Senator Alger has prepared a report
calling attention to the fact that the
young man is the son of Gen. John Irv-
ing Gregg, who served with distinction
through the Civil war and afterward
Senator Alger says the young lieuten-
ant was On leave of absence at the
time the offense was committed and
that he is entitled to as much consid-
GRAFTON as his superior officer inasmuch
as they were equally guilty of mis-
conduct. A similar bill passed the
senate in the Fifty seventh congress

CHAMBERLAIN
WORK ADVANCES
His Tariff Commission Appoints
a "Generai Purpose
Committee '

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Joseph Cham
berlain presided at the first meeting of
the tariff commission which assembled
this afternoon with a large attend
ance Of members Mr.. Chamberlain
made a speech in which he drew
parallel from what the United States
and Germany had accomplished under
protective tariffs and denied that any
tariff could be framed here which,
as it's opponents alleged, would make
the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The United States. under protection,
had reached prosperity unequaled In
the world. In no other country was
wealth so evenly distributed, while
there was no country in the world
where SO large a proportion of the
population was on the verge of distress
as in England. Mr.. Chamberlain said
the object of the commission was not
to formulate tariff laws, but to inves-
tigate and inquire with open minds.
All that had thus far been decided
was that the policy adopted so many
years ago required reform.
The commission discussed a general
method of procedure. On motion of
Mr.. Chamberlain Mr.. Pearson was
elected vice chairman. A general pur-
pose committee was appointed. 1t in
cludes Charles Booth, of the firm of
Alfred Booth & Co., of Liverpool and
former president Of the Royal Statis
tical society; Sir Vincent Caillard,
president of the London agency of the
National Bank Of Egypt and formerly
financial representative Of Great Brit
ain, Holland and Belgium in Constan-
tinople; Frederick T. Harris, M. p, of
Harris & Dixon, shipowners and coal
factors; Sir Alexander Henders, prom
inent member of the stock exchange
and director of several coal undertake
ings; Sir Robert Herbert, Sir Alfred
Jones and Alfred Moseley, the last
two named being respectively chair
man and vice chairman of the COM
mittee. Future meetings of the COM
mission will be held Wednesdays and
Thursdays of each week.
Free Traders Gain Member.
LONDON, Jan. 15.-The bye election
in Norwich for a successor to the late
Sir Harry Bullard resulted in the free
traders gaining the seat. The vote
was: Tiilett, Liberal, 8,576; Wild,
Unionist, 6,756; Roberts, Labor, 2,440.
The result of the election astounds
Mr.. Chamberlain and the Liberal par
ty. 1t has been a safe Conservative
seat LOT SO many years Cndl, even al
lowing for an increase in the Liberal
vote. the fact of labor candidate ap-
pearing in the field and dividing the
Liberal vote was held to insure Con-
servatfve victory. That the free trad
ers returned such an overwhelming
majority is the worst blow Mr.. Cham
berlain has received since the opening
Of his campaign.

new FREIGHT RATES
WILL BE REVISED
Tariffs. Which Will Become Ef-
fective Monday, Must Be
Greatly Changed.

1t is reported on reliable authority that
the new tariff on commodity rates adopted
by the Western freight bureau, which goes
into effect next Monday, will undergo con-
siderable alteration almost as soon as 1t
becomes operative, and that the advanced
rate on many of the commodities affected
will be withdrawn altogether.
A list of the Withdrawals, 1t is said, is
now in preparation and will be forwarded
to agents in due time without blare of
trumpets.
The principal topic of discussion among
jobbers at the present time is the new
tariff coupled with the announcement sent
out from San Francisco that the Southern
Pacific contemplates an expansion OF com
modify rates on lines similar to the action
of the Western roads.
The railroads bound by the new agree
ment are the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern, Union Pacific, Burlington and
the Canadian Pacific The fact that the
Union Pacific is a party to the new tarln
lends strength to the belief that the
Southern Pacific, controlled by the same
interests. will make radical changes in It's
rates also.
Change Unsatisfactory.
A feature of the new tariff, and one
that has caused the bulk of adverse com
ment. is it's method of dealing with car
load and less than car load shipments
The jobbers in the first instance claimed
that there was a wide inconsistency in
the method of preserving differentials, and
for a long time they insisted on a read
juStment.
When the readjustment finally came
they are said to have found that 1t was
not as they expected or advocated, which
accounts for the continued mutterfngs OF
discomfort

uItimatum to the Vatican.

ROME, Jan. 15.-The French gov
ernment has presented the Vatican a
note in the nature of an uItimatum
regarding the appointments of bishops
to five vacant French Sees. substan-
TALLY saying that either the pope must
approve the selections of the French
government or they will be announced
officially without the appreciation of
the holy see. In addition, the papal
nuneio will be asked to leave Paris,

SPRING TRADE is
FULL OF PROMISE
This EnIlvens Midwinter Oper.
ations and the Tone of
Trade Improves.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say: Though not thor
oughly opened yet, except at the
Southwest, spring trade is beginning
to liven up, and this, coupled with a
large volume of clearance sales by re-
tailers, gives an appearance of activ-
ity to midwinter operations. The in
dustrial situation shows improvement,
particularly in iron and steel mill re-
sumptions and in the putting into blast
of more coke furnaces. Little or no
friction seems to attend numerous
wage reductions scheduled for the cur
rent month, and though weather con-
ditions are bar to activity In out
side work, an active spring is looked
for in this line.
While war talk and weather condi-
tions have operated to raise prices OF
food products, the unqueStionable I'M
provement in the tone of trade Is the
handspring of the upward swing In
prices of iron and Steel the other
metals and hides and leather, which,
with the advance in raw textiles, help-
ed to raise the general level OF values
of staple products to close to the
highest for year past, and 81 per cent
above the low point of 1896, though Z
per cent below the highest point OF
1900
The iron trade is irregular, but on
the whole a favorable view is taken OF
conditions and outlook. Production IS
down to the minimum of the past hve
years, though current assumptions may
swell the output Slightly. A sale OF
10000 tons of rails for Turkey is re-
ported. Wire is strong and barb wire
and nails have been advanced. Tin
plates are more active, there is more
inquiry for structural and old mate
rial, and steel scrap are higher. Amer
lean rail buyers are out of the market
because it Is said Canadian railroads
are getting rails cheaper than on TINS
side of the line. Copper, lead and tln
are all higher on reported good de-
mand. Stocks of cotton are small.
New season mems wear woolens are
opening at slightly lower prices than
a year ago. Wool is steady but quiet.
A good year is expected in the shoe
trade, which has been benefited bv late
severe weather.
