REVISION IS MADE
A NATIONAL ISSUE
Excitement Among High Tariff
Men Allayed, but not:
Stilled. -"
By w, w. Jermane."

Washington, May 20.--,The presi-
dent g announcement that there will be
no clash between him and congress over
the canal purchases, and that as few
supplies as possible will be purchased
in the world 8 markets in advance OF
the meeting Of congress, has had the
effect of quoting the excitement among
high tariff men which has prevailed for
almost week. ... =,
It is now conceded that congress will
address itself promptly to the question
of where supplies shall be purchased
and not ignore it, as was the case last
session.
l. The president, however, has made his
point, which was to emphasize before
the country, the need for revision, and al
it is difficult to see how congress will
be able to satisfy the public, no matter
which way it htigates regarding the
purchase Of supplies. If it decides that
those supplies must be purchased at
home, the public will complain because
Of the added cost Of canal construction
and if it decides that the commission
may buy where it will, the demand fol
tariff revision will only be intensified
| IF the presidentA was playing q game
Of political strategy with the stand
patters, and many think this Is what he
hes been doing, he could not have pro
iceeded more skillfully.t Washington
sentiment agrees that he has. made tar
If revision a national issue and that
the DingleY, schedules must be attended
to during the present administration.

Chicago, May 20.-Peace terms tenta-
lively accepted by the teamsters joint
council were ratified by International
President Shea today. The acceptance,
has still to be Endorsed fully at meet
ing Of the joint council tonight.
% Unless well-laid plans for a ternina-

MORGAN AS PONTIFF'S
FINANCIAL ADVISER
New York Sun Special Service.

Rome, May 20. Pierpont Morgan
Of New York and London is willing to
become the pope's financial agent and
has assured his holiness that he would
profit greatly by such an arrangement.
It is learned on unimpeachable authority
that when the pope gave private audi
ence to Mr.. Morgan recently the fnan-
cier volunteered his. services to reor-
game the pope g finances on more
to the arrangement which places the
Vatican Is moneys in the hands of the
Rothschilds, where they earn on an av'
erage only 2 per cent per annum. His
holiness thanked Mr.. Morgan for his
suggestions and promptly ordered a re.
port from his treasurer on the Vatican 4

BLAME PLACED ON CONGRESS
Cannon, on the Warpath, Gets Plain
Statement from Administration.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, May 20.-Speaker Can
non was very much in earnest when he
started out on his campaign and talked
sensationally about "wrecking the
party thru the president 3 action as
to purchases for the Panama canal. He
called first on Mr.. Roosevelt.
The president turned him over to Mr..
Taft after explaining that he had no
desire to stir up disastrous internal
dissensions, but he thought it was time
to do something. Mr.. Taft said the
same thing, adding that if congress was
afraid to assume responsibility he was
not. He said congress had twice re-
fused to speak out in favor Of American
concerns, once when the question had
been fatty presented, and drew on the
war department records to prove his
statement.
Appeals to Congress Unheeded.
On May 81, 1902, Secretary Root
wrote the house committee on military
affairs, warmly indorsing bill author
izing a preference to American ships
in the Philippines trade when their
charges were not more than 10 per
cent greater than those of foreign YES
sells. The bill was favorably reported,
but according to Mr.. Roots indorse-
ment, twas defeated on the floor OF
the house on the avowed ground that
it would amount to a government ship
ping subsidy
At the last session congress also re-
fused to indicate preference fol
American concerns, tho it was known
that millions of dollars worth of canal
supplies soon would be needed.
Taft Scores Congress.
Mr.. Taft said, with some warmth
that if this double negative action
meant anything it was that American
firms were not to be favored at 6
financial sacrifice.
Mr.. Cannon admitted the inaction OF
congress, but in extenuation pleaded
campaign necessities and other consid
erations. He said that now the subject
had been brought right to the front
there was no doubt that congress woulc
speak out plainly in favor of American
manufacturers, and he pleaded that /,
be given another chance as matter Of
urgent party expediency. he promised
that If his wishes were acceded to hi
would see that the question is brough1
up as soon as congress meets in Octo
Der and promptly settled.

in bringing so many shippers from the
big cities to testify, before the senate
committee, that present rate conditions
are satisfactory. Thus far these ship;

Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, Min

The net result of this testimony has
been to bring out the fact that at big
terminal points the railroads have made
rate conditions satisfactory to all con-
cerned. The emphasizing Of this situa-
