FAvoRs EARLY TARIFF ACTION.
President Will Call Extra Session tc
Revise Schedules.

washington, Jan. IL. President
Roosevelt favors the earliest possible
action looking to revision by con-
gress of the tariff. He so informed
the senator's and representatives who
were in conference with him at the
White House last Saturday and he has
made plain his position to others since
that conference. He will call the
Fifty-ninth congress into extraordinary
session as soon as the committees have
indicated that they are prepared to
submit a tariff measure for passage.
One of those present at the confer
ence On Saturday said during the day,
in view of the many conflicting stories
published regarding the matter, that
the president informed him that while
he did not believe in any sweeping re-
ductions OF the tariff and would abide
absolutely by the Judgment of the two
committees of the senate and house,
yet he did think the schedules shoull
be thoroughly examined and there
should be a readjustment as to cer-
tain of them.

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE declaration
made by Vice Admiral Doubassoff, the
Russian member of the International
commission to inquire into the North
sea incident, in an interview, to the
effect that an honorable peace between
Russia and Japan is likely to be made
is considered highly significant. Here
tofOre the members OF the Russian en-
Gals here have resented suggestions
OF peace as humiliating There is rea-
son to believe that these were express
sive OF personal views before hearing
from st. Petersburg, whereas Admiral
DOubassoff has just arrived from ST.
Petersburg after a lengthy audience
with Emperor Nicholas following the
fall of Port Arthur The admiral, who
is chief of naval construction, says he
submitted to the emperor last Thurs
day 4 plan to complete the rehabili-
tation of the navy. Doubassoff says
the emperor gave it most favorable
consideration and said it would be sub.
mitted to the council of ministers.

al am convinced" said Admiral Dou-
bassoff, "of the immediate necessity
for the reconstruction of our fleet, at
all the Russian and foreign shipyards,
for the purpose of securing strength
sufficient to command supremacy at
sea. This is absolutely indispensable
II we are to expect victory from the
next war with Japan. The remnant
OF our fleet is hardly more than debris
and entirely unequal to Japan's naval
strength
The admiral further said it was nee.
essary to recognize these conditions,
however painful they might be to ma
tiOnal self-lOve.
Therefore" he added, 81 do not hes.

The organization is not one. of farm

union is novel in that it has no .proyi-

the secret Of Platt's relations with. the
woman We're revealed by the filing Of
his suit last summer would be brought

was shot to death almost at the door
of the Elias Woman's home on Central

Platt suit was fled. Green's mur-
derer, a negro, who was captured and
later sent to an insane asylum, said
he had shot Mr.. Green because he was
jealous of the latter's attentions o Mrs
Elias, evidently mistaking him for MI.
Plat.
Mrs. Elias maintains that the vast
sum named in Platt's suit was given
her voluntarily by Platt-that he lit
