AVOIDS TARIFF TO SURPRISE OF REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS PREsI.
 DENT PASSES IT UP.
Rate Regulation Strong, and That Part Commended by Democratic
 Leader.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 7.-How the president could discuss so great variety of subjects as contained in his message, which was read in the senate and house Tuesday without touching upon the tremendously inn portant question of tariff revision at some point is the cause of astonish- ment and surprise among Democrat lf congressman, and those Republic ans who are not afraid to speak oth- erwise than laudatory of the docu- ment this omission, makes the mes sage as remarkable for what it does not contain as for what is presented.
 Representative John Sharp Will Hams, Democratic leader in the house, thought the presidents reference to the railroad rate problem very strong and indicative of his purpose to pur- sue the issue to a successful conclu- sion. MT. Williams, who was seen
 
 in the evening, had read only that section relating to the rate question.
 "I am satisfied" continued Mir. Williams, that the president will not take any bill that does not give to the interstate commerce commission power to name a substitute rate Really, the president is stronger in tEls message upon rates than in his message to the Fifty-eight congress.
 He goes further than the Esch> Townsend bill when he recommends that whenever a railroad regulates freight rate temporarily to give shipper an advantage the interstate commerce commission shall make that the maximum rate.'
 Omitted Tariff Reform.
 Senator Frazier of Tennessee said:
 Reading for tho first tine tn~t section of the message relating to freight rates my impression was that the president was suggesting com ="Hnise or was recedine from his ad ',"na"' stand. but reading the sec ticn again my impression is that he stands upon the pivotal idea, to- vt:
 That the interstate commerce commission, after fair hearing Of " complaint. shall have the power to 1eelare maximum rate. That is about the position of the Democratic 'n'tv as expressed in it's last two or three national convention platforms. What the president says concerning ''''-"to GOV line terminals, industrial

Milwaukee Man Made
Bernhardt Famous

Eugene Field on one occasion gave a
most interesting account OF the trans
lation OF Sarah Bernhardt to the Iegit-
innate stage.
Field attributed this translation to
Col. Horace Rublee. then editor of the
Milwaukee Sentinel. who was at that
time guest OF Madame Bernhardt at
one OF the hotels in this city. The poets
account of the matter is as follows:
1t was while Colonel RubIee was
United States minister to Belgium thar
he visited Paris for the first time. Be
ing then young and enterprising man.
he explored the French metropolis thor
oughIy. and one evening happened TO at
tend performance at the Theater
Haut Monde. one of the great many
variety houses with which Paris abound
ed at that time. Ii was here that he
first saw ana heard Sarah Bernhardt.
then a mere girl. doing song and
dance.
The usual beauty and subtle grace Of
the young Jewess impressed the sa-
gacious diplomatist so absolutely that
ne determined TO interest himself in her
behalf
In few days he had set her case
before the American minister and
through the influence of that Official
secured an audience with the directory
OF the comedie FranCaise. who finally
consented TO give the girl a trial in the
role OF Phedre. From that day to the
present time, Bernhardt has trod the
Iiowery path 10 glory and il is said. 10
her credit that she has never forgotten
the Kindness done her by her good
friend Monsieur le Colonel
She said TO me the other day, 'wizout
Monsieur lie Colonel, vaire little good
would my art 10 do. He find me in ze
song and dance. and he say Sairia YOU

Interest in the theatrical offerings
OF the week naturally centers in the
Bernhardt engagement. which is de-
clared cl the faith of her manage
ment TO be the farewell tour of the
famous actress. Judging from the
advance sales the appearance of this
wonderful French woman will arouse
more enthusiasm in Washington dur
ing the next few days than any other
event this season. The word won
propriate when one realizes that
Sarah Bernhardt has passed the six
