PRoCiTY CONFERENCE.
DUAL TARIFF PLAN is FAVORED
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED
TO THE CONVENTION.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Declaration OF
political war on the "standpatters' In
congress and throughout the country
was demanded by Governor A. B.
Cummins of Iowa In the reciprocity
convention. The comment was made
that In Governor Cummins the con.
ference had found its leader. Other
we'll known men addressed the con-
ference and the report of the commit
tee on resolutions was submitted, as
follows:
Whereas, The agricultural, manu-
featuring and other industries of this
country have expanded to such an ex-
tent that they can no longer depend
on the home market for the consump-
tion of their entire product; and
Whereas, The export trade has be-
come vital support to many OF our
industries; and
Whereas, The present commercial
attitude of the United States, largely
owing to our failure to carry into ef-
feet the reciprocal trade provisions
Of section 4 of the Dingley law, is an
tagonizing foreign nations. whose good
will we desire and on whom we have
hitherto depended as purchasers or
our surplus products; therefore,
Dual Tariff Advocated.
"Ra II resolved. FirSt-That this
convention, recognizing the principle
of protection as the established policy
Of our country, advocates reciprocal
concessions by means OF dual or
maximum and minimum tariff as the
most adequate and practical method
Of relieving the strained situation with
which we are now confronted.
"6econd-That the question of the
schedules and items to be considered
In such reciprocal concessions prefer
ably be suggested by permanent tar
iii commission to be created by con-
gress and appointed by the president,
which shall consist of economic, in
dustrial and commercial experts.
"Third-That it Is the sense OF this
convention that our present tariff af-
fords abundant opportunity for such
concessions without injury to indus
try, trade or the wages of labor
"Fourth--That we urge action on
congress at the earliest time possible.
We recommend that permanent Or
ganization be formed under the style
of the American Reciprocal Tariff
league and that committee OF nj
teen be appointed by the chair to have
full power to organize and further
prosecute the work for which the con-
vention has assembled. Said commit
tee shall have power to increase Its
membership and to fill vacancies when
necessary"

agreed TO in principle and section 5
was adopted unanimously. Mr.. Sato
explains that the arrangement on sec.
tion is that the terms as stated by
Japan are correct, but that the phrase
ology must be adjusted to suit what
the Russians claim are the exigencies
OF the situation.
Both of these sections refer to the
railroads. Section deals with the
entire Chinese Eastern railroad Sec
ton concerns specific control Of
that part of the railroad from Harbin
to Port Arthur. The arrangement Is
that the Japanese shall control the
railroad from Port Arthur to within
ten miles of Harbin and that the Rus
SLAMS shall have limited control of the
railroad straight across to Vladivos-
lok. This will give Russia access to
Vladiyostok. but it is expected that
policing will be done by Chinese and
1t is known that Japan demands some
rights even there.
The action leaves five questions un-
determined-the cession of SakhaliE
island, which Is section No. s and
which was passed over and sections
3, 10. IL and IL, which are the lim-
itation Of Russia's naval power In the
East. the cession to Japan of the In
warships. the disposition of the
at Dalny. Harbin and
Port Arthur and the indemnity 1t Is
quite likely that there will be no diff
Guilty in settling three of these ques-
tions. leaving the great struggle to
come on the indemnity and on the re-
tHrn of Sakhalin.

SUBJECT CONSIDERED At LENGTH
QUESTION FINALLY LAID ASIDE
AND DISCUSSION OF ARTi.
Gle 10 BEGUN.

Portsmouth, N H., Aug. 18.-The
peace plenipotentiaries adjourned for
luncheon at 1:30 o'clock. having spent
the entire morning discussing article
8, which, It is believed. includes the
question OF Japan's reimbursement for
the cost of the war. No agreement
was reached and the commissioners
temporarily laid 1t aside and proceed
ed to discuss the following article.
The Official statement Of the proceed
ings follows:
AT the morning session of the con-
ference the plenipotentiaries discussed
article Q. Not being able to reach q
unanimous decision the conference de-
cided to record the divergence Of
views and proceeded to the discussion
OF the following article"
The mornings discussion developed
an absolute impasse. Both sides were
Obdurate. Neither would bulge or
yield an inch.
Agreement being found to be Inn
possible the plenipotentiaries decided
to spread on the record their respec-
tive views and proceed to the consid-
Grafton Of article 10. which provides
for the surrender to Japan OF the
Russian warships interned in Far
Eastern waters.
1t can be stated with almost abso-
lutte pOsttiveness that the two re-
naming articles are In the following
order:
Article IL, limitation of Russia's ma
val power In the Far East; article IL,
the grant OF fishing rights In the Rus
sian littoral from Vladivostok to Behr-
ing sea-
Possible Plan Of Compromise.
The natural line of compromise on
the two main issues between the
peace rlenipotentiaries comes out
more and more clearly-Russia to
yield Sakhalin to the suzerainty OF
Japan upon Japan's pledge not to for
tify the island or use 1t for military
or strategic purposes and to allow
equal fishing and commercial oppor-
tnnities to the citizens of both coun-
tries, and Japan to forego remunera-
tion for "the cost OF the war" and to
take instead such incident monetary
compensation as she will obtain from
the transfer of the Liaotung and Port
Arthur leases, the Chinese Eastern
railroad and repayment for the main
tenance Of the 100000 Russian pris-
Oners.
Such an arrangement regarding
Sakhalin might solve the problem SO
far as article is concerned. The
Russians. while admitting that the
island Is of little value to them CON-
mercially or from military stand
point with Japan controlling the en-
frances TO the Sea Of japan. neverthe-
less insist most strenuously that Its
military possession by Japan would
constitute q constant threat against
their maritime provinces.

his final stand. II Baron Komura re-
fuses to yield. to be able to say 1t
was Japan's. not Russia's. uncompro-
missing attitude which caused the rup-
ture. The Russians claim Russia has
given up every contention which lay
at the root of the quarrel between the
two countries.

(By the Associated Press.D


Milwaukee, Wis. Dec. 14.-The
twenty-fifth annual meeting of the
National Civil Service Reform League,
opened in Milwaukee today.
The annual report of the council
was read tonight by Richard Henry
Dana, of Boston. The report in part
follows:
THE most notable event Of tile year
in the United States is the successful
revolt against boss rule in politics,
exemptified in so many parts of the
country at once. But we have seen
similar revolts before, with no perma-
nent change We have turned out
q Tweed, and in came a Croker; out
went a Croker and in moved Muir
Dhy. We abolished some particular
boss. we removed the man, but we
kept the conditions which made the
man what he was.
"It has been long believed that
many positions. exempted on account
of special qualifications, such as
deputy collectors of internal revenue,
have been filed through the influ-
ence of the very interests to be in
spected The recent insurance inves-
LEGATIONS furnish illustrations. The for
mer insurance suDcrintendent of New
York James T. Pierce, was attorney
for the Mutual Life before appoint
ment and an employee of one of the
officers of the Equitable was made an
insurance inspector. Both these men
were to watch the companies by whose
favor they undoubtedly got and held
