NEW TARIFF ISSUE.
Reciprocity Convention Held in Chi
cago Adopts Resolutions.

With a declaration advocating imme-
date reciprocal concessions by means Of
a maximum and minimum" tariff and
favoring the creation of n permanent
tariff commission of economic, industrial
and commercial experts, the national
reciprocity conference ended it's Chicago
session Thursday afternoon. A perma-
nent organization, to be known as the
Reciprocal Tariff League, is the out
growth of the movement, and with the
passing of the conference active work
will be carried forward by a national
committee of fifteen members.
There were attempts on various sides
TO inject an array of ifs" and lands"
and ''ors' into the declaration of prin-
ciples reported by the committee on res
Olutions, but in the end things went
through exactly as planned by the re-
visionist leaders. Following are the res
o~lutionS adopted by the convention:
Whereas, The agriculture. manufactures
and other industries of this country have
expanded to such an extent that they can
no longer depend upon the home market for
the consumption Of their eG.irC product;
and.
Whereas, The export trade has become
a vital support TO many OF our industries;
and.
Whereas. The present commercial atti-
tude of the United States, largely owning
to our failure to carry into effect the reclp-
rocal trade provisions of section 4 of the
Dingley law, is antagonizing foreign ma
lions, whose good will we desire and on
whom we have hitherto depended az pur-
chasers of our surplus products; therefore,
be 1t
Resolved: /. That this convention, rec
ognizing the principle of protection as the
established policy Of our country, advo-
Gates imrs ediate reciprocal concessions by
means Of a dual or maximum and minimum
tariff as the only practical method Of re-
lieving at this time the strained situation
with which we are confronted.
. That eventually the question OF the
schedules and Items to be considered in
reciprocal concessions be suggested by a
permanent tariff commission, to be created
by Congress and appointed by the Presi.
dent, which shall consist OF economic, In
dustrlal and commercial experts.
3. That it is the sense of this conven-
tien that our present tariff affords abundant
opportunity for such concessions without
Injury to industry, trade or the wages Of
labor.
4. That we urge action upon Congress al
the earliest time possible.

TRADE Is BEING RUINED
Merchants in China Now Regretting
American Boycott.

The United States representative at
Shanghai, Consul General Rodgers, has
informed the State Department that the
Chinese Chamber of Commerce at Shang-
hal deprecates the continuance of the
boycott in China against American
goods, which the merchants say is at
tributable in large part to the students.
They claim that their business is serious
ly affected as a result. The news is re-
garded in Washington as being very
significant.
The boycott was first instituted at
Shanghai, and singularly enough by the
very Chamber of Commerce which is now
so anxious to terminate it.
According to reports to the State De-
partment, the agitation extended as far
south as the Straits Settlements, where
the import business is largely controlled
by Chinese merchants, and Consul Gen
eral WILDER stated that the Shanghai
boycott, as proclaimed by the Chamber
of Commerce. has been adopted by the
chamber at Singapore.
From Mr.. Rodgers report it is in
ferred that the merchants who started
the boycott have found themselves heavy
losers in trade as a result and are desir-
Gus Of removing it. The department also
has been informed that Minister Rock
hill has secured the aid of the Chinese
government in stopping the anti-Ameri-
can movement.

stockbrokers and Jurics.

A prominent New York ~stockbroker
says: 1.-The newspapers do not get
wind of even a small fraction of the
suits brought against brokers because
Of MISUNDERSTANDING between us and
our customers. Ninety-nine custom
ers out OF every hundred think WI rob
them when they lose their money in
the market and give us no credit when
they win. We do our hardest to settle
all suits out of court, for there is not
a jury on earth that will find a verdict
for a stock broker. Why? Simply be-
cause every juror has been scorched
now and then in the marAet and holds
q grudge against al! brokers ."-New

July p. The report of the court of in
quiry, consisting of Commodore ii. n.
Stevenson, retired; Captain Thomas s.
Phelps and Captain Il. *. Moore, was
received by Secretary Bonaparte Mon
day, and it recommends that the officer,
Ensign Charles II. Wade, who was in
charge of the engineering department of
the ship, be court-martialed because Of
neglect of duty in accepting the word of
his s~ubordinates regarding the general
condition of affairs in his department,
and especially the boiler which exploded.
The report recites in detail that En-
sign Wade failed to see personally that
the safety valves on boiler ''B," the one
which exploded, had been overhauled at
the proper time and kept in good work.
ing order, although his subordinates had
reported an inspection in March, 1905.
1t is further charged that the sentinel
valves were not kept in good working or
der, all of which is declared to be z
lect of duly.
The opinion of the court is that the
explosion was caused by excessive steam
pressure, which the safety valve failed
to relieve because it had been shut off
by mistake by ID. n. Holland, a fireman;
that Frank De Courtani, an oiler, neg
lected to note that the steam gauge fail
ed to register the pressure and that Chief
Machinist's Mate IL. b. Ferguson failed
inspect the boiler while steam was being
raised. AS these men died no further
proceedings can be taken.
Secretary ~Bonaparte, who has prom
ised the service that nobody would be
made a scapegoat and the public that
nobody would be whitewashed, has not
yet acted on the recommendation of the
court martial of Ensign Wade. Presum-
ably he is waiting word from the Presi-
dent. The report from the board reflects
on nobody else, but commends the cour-
age and self-forgetfulness of officers and
men in the hour of danger.

DEATH LIST NEARLY 100.
Victims of Atlantic Coast Line Wreck
Grow Larger.

Grow Larger.
Nearly a hundred persons. mostly ne
groes, were killed when an excursion
train on the Atlantic Coast line from
kinston, \. c., bound to Norfolk, Va,
plunged through an open draw over the
western branch of the Elizabeth river,
eight miles from Norfolk. The list of
injured was very large.
The train was running at the rate of
fifteen or twenty miles an hour as it
approached the bridge. The specific or
ders of the road to stop all trains at
the bridge, whether the draw is open
Or not, was apparently ignored. The
train plunged into the abyss. Both en-
gineer and fireman discovered the open
draw too late to stop the train. The
a.rbrakes were applied, but did not work
properly. The scene following the wreck
was one of ndescribable horror, with the
shTisking of men, women and children
who were drowning, struggling out of the
partly submerged coach and floating in
the river.
The passengers who were unintored
immediately started to rescue those I'm
prisoned IN the cars. Norfolk and Ports
mouth were communicated with and ply
sicians were n out on a vsseking
