MEANT TO Do DEADLY WORK.
Two Small internal Machines Sent to
Prominent New Workers Yesterday

New York, August 1S.-Two small
Internal machines were sent to prom
inent New Yorkers today. Jacob II.

the more dangerous of the machines, a
contrivance capable of causing death.
The other was received by NJ. Guggen-
helms Sons, and was directed to The
offices Of the American Smelling auc
Refining Company.
Mr.. Schiff was absent from the city,
being at Bar Harbor. The banking
firm OF Kuhn, Loeb e Conway, re-
celved by mail a wooden box about SIX
inches long, addressed to Mr.. Schltf
and marked as 4 coming from Edward
Seventh. 1t was Immediately turned
over to the police. Removal of the
wooden cover discovered only an IL
nocent package, wrapped in some paper
bearing stock quotations.. but inside
was a contrivance arranged, at the
least rough handling, to discharge two
cartridges loaded with 80 calibre BIT.
cylinder of emery paper, tightly sealed
The entire affair was enclosed inside a
cylinder of emery vaper, tightly sealed
with cotton, and containing 81 grains
Of highly explosive powder and
matches. The matches were placed so
as to be ignited by the emery paper
and then to touch off the powder.
The other Internal machine, Identical
in size and general make with this
one, was received by M. Guggenehein1's
Sons in a package which bore on the
outside. in stamped letters the name
Jacob H. Schiff. This machine diff ers
from the Schiff explosive only by con
tanning, in place of the cartridges, a
phial filled with some substance
thought to be nitro-glycerine or sui
phuric acid.

Dissatisfaction With the Dinglcv Tariff

Widespread dissatisfaction with the
Dingley tariff is behind the national
reciprocity conference which assemblies
today in Chicago. The movement is the
more significant in that it is neither
partisan nor provincial. The Iowa
idea of protection as a means rather
than an end in itself, and the Massa-
cuhsetts demand for free hides and free
raw materials generally, and for an
enlarged Canadian market, both find an
hospitable shelter under the reciprocity
banner The stand-pattershave al
ready scented danger in the movement
From an unnamed Washington source
the delicious report has been sent ont
that the expenses of the convention are
being borne by the beef trust and the
Harvester trust. The large western
representation in the conference is III
itself enough to disprove this inspired
falsehood. A high tariff organ in TINS
city declares that the movement mas
reached the stage where it becomes =
n to the protective tariff system
and should be recognized as such by all
interests which adhere to the DlnSiey
schedules. The attitude of various
republican leaders towards the rec!
procity idea is amusing. Or course
the extremists like Shaw and CannNl
have nothing but condemnation for he
agitation. But others, and among
them President Roosevelt, are nim5.y
''side-stepping." Like the effective
leader in the house of commons they
are not prepared to say catesoricaIly
that two and two make four, blu think
they may assume for the purpose under
consideration that two and two do nc:
make five. The-advocates OF reason in
tariff schedules propose 10 establish
permanent headquarters in Chicago
and to undertake a systematic and per
sistent campaign Of tariff education

Calling OF the National Assembly In
Interest in. the japanese
Dcniands-Popular Sentiment is for
War.

st. Petersburg, August 19.-11:5S p.
m. AS the time approaches for the
playing of the last cards at Ports
mouth, there is manifested here among
certain high officials and by the press
and the public, the unmistakable o n
viction that Russia will not yield on
the points of paying an indemnity, as
such, or Of absolutely ceding Sakhalin
Il the japanese.
The Associated Press can state au-
thoritatively that Emperor Nicholas,
the day preceding the announcement
of the new national assembly, was
firmly resolved that he would not ac-
cede to the Japanese demand on either
of these points and furthermore hat
the reception by the. people of he as
sembly project has done much to
strengthen him in that resolution.
The calling into being of the national
assembly is Il new factor In the situa-
ton. If peace does not result from
the Portsmouth negotiations, the war
bids fair to be a national supported
by II popular sentiment. The ~actuality
of the national assembly has increased
among the people their personal inter
ests in the japanese demands, and has
resulted in strong expressions from
practically all classes OF society. ex-
cepting the extreme radicals. that the
Russian people should not pay an in
demnity nor cede Sakhalin.
1t can lie stated authoritatiyeiy that
the United States is not attempting TO
exercise influence upon Russia through
st. Petersburg.
At the conclusion Of the conference,
Baron de Rosen's face was wreathed In
smiles and his name was quite gen
ial. The interview had evidently been
entirely satisfactory to him.
President Roosevelt said this even
inc that he could not discuss in any
way his conference with Ambassador
de Rosen.
1t is quite evident from the trend Of
events today. which made Oyster Bay
for an hour, the center OF the peace
proceedings. that the Russian ENJOYS
are now in possession Of information

Guiding an agreement with the Japa-
nese plenipotentiaries.

exposure of official misconduct in Ybor
