A Blow At p,neleyism.

There is Grape on the door of the
American Protective Tariff Associa-
ton. The mourners Of the Home
Market Club are sobbing pitifully
behind the drawn shutters. Low
means Of anguish escape from the
pallid lips of Wilbur T. Wakeman.
Hot tears are coursing down the fur.
rowed cheeks of Gin'ral Charles
Henry Grosvener. The administra
ton has been and gone and done it
The irreverent may jeer at the
grief of the stand-patters over the
open-market order for Panama Can
al materials, but it is very real grief
nevertheless, and ought to be res
pected. When the Government Of
the United States brutally refuses to
be held up by its own tariff attened
manufacturers it is setting most
pernicious example to its citizens
In fact. the stand-patters may justly
charge the Federal Government with
melting revolt against the Ding
ley schedules.
Certain sons of Belial in WASH
ington who sympathize with the
Taft order are reported by the Tri-
bune as saying that steel rails for
the Panama Railroad, which would
cost $33 ton here, can be purchas-
ed abroad for $50 a ton, and that
they will be made by the same com
pany in either case. This is only
another way Of saying that the Steel
Trust would charge the Government
$13 ton more than it charges it's
foreign customers. Last fall the
pool was selling rails delivered at
English ports for $22 ton, while
the domestic price was $2S. If the
Government were restricted to home
market in buying rails for the Pan
ANA Railway it would have to pay
any price the pool saw fit to demand.
It is not likely that much foreign
material will be bought for the Pan
ANA Canal, in spite of the Taft or
DER. Inc government IS simply
going into the open market, and by
making the same rate to the United
States that they make to foreign
customers American manufactures
can get all the contracts. They will
doubtless find it just as profitable
to do their dumping in Panama as
Liverpool and Hamburg.
This of course is not the real griev-
ance of the stand-patters. 1t is the
horrible object-lesson which sears
their souls. If the Government will
not submit to Dingleyized extortion
why must its citizens submit? This
question will be asked with perplex-
ing frequency, and the answer is
obviously destructive Of the stand
patters' peace of mind. 1t seems to
be destroying their common sense
too.

gardcd by naval experts as an indica-

battle has been frought is expected
at any time The cars ships nre
due to reach the mouth of the strait.
The only thing approaching informa-
ton as to their latest movements is n
dispatch from Hongkong stating that
the $50 deeply laden junks, persum-
ably carrying provisions for the Rus.

off Cape st. John, had left there and

New Route Would Be Noted.
Had Rojestvensky left the course he
was steering whe Mast heard from-a
niles day straight for the strait
where Togo lay in whit is believed
certain that news of the change would
have reached here. Had he either
turned to the west and approached the
coast or gone eastward around For

the scout ships Of the .Iaps would hive

The Japanese are in doubt as to
whether the Russian fleet will be d..

Of Rojestvenslsy's fleet will be sent

clared off, will be spread to greater
proportions. This was decided by the
memoirs Of the Transfers Joint Coun-
ell, which was in session until mid
night. The council met to hear the
report of the negotiations that had
been in progress with the employers
throughout the day. They agreed to
all the stipulations of the employers
with the exception of that which de-
clared that the drivers of the express
companies should not be taken back.
This was the rock upon which the
peace programme was wrecked, and
after several hours of debate 1t was
decided that the Transfers union
could not leave the express drivers to
make lone fight.

National Committee.

Cincinnati. May 4.-Presidents Pull liam and Johnson of the National and American Leagues met here today with Chairman Hermann of the National Commission, the three constituting that body, and acted on a number of mat ters that had been appealed to the commission. Because of a case called up by the Toledo American Association club, a new rule was announced to the effect that when a minor league club has purchased or drafted a player and such player does not report to the minor league club. the player shall not be sub feet to draft by q major league club until after the minor league baseball club drafting or purchasing him has secured his services for at least half of season. The rule was suggested by the case of Player Calhoun of the Ha- verhiII Club. who refused to report to the Toledo Club after having come tc terms for that club to draft him from the New England League. and has since played with independent clubs.
 An additional rule Is announced re gardng the playing of games with clubs not under the national agreement. National agreement players are to be permitted to play only with clubs hav- ing contracts for their services; they must not play with or against outside clubs during their contract period; and club owners are forbidden to grant per- mission to players to play contrary to this provision.
