Five articles of the possible treaty

sidered when the plenipotentiaries re-
sumed their session today. Sakhalin,

agree and which had been passed over,
insemnity. limitation upon Russias sea
power, surrender Of interned warships,
and grant OF fishing rights on the lit
toral of maritime provinces. Remunec
se.tion for the cost of the war is the first
article to come. up today. How far 1t
will be threshed out before it is pass
ed over'' is problematical. Fishing
rights Russia will yield. There only
remain limitation upon Russia's sea
power and surrender of interned war
ships. The final struggle is close at
hand and preparations are being made
for it. When the remaining points OF
possible agreement are demonstrated
adjournment will be taken, probably
until Monday when the plenipotentiar-
les will show their last cards. The
japanese are keeping the Toxic gov

of the proceedings and it was s o'clock
this morning when last nights stream
OF cables to Japan was completed.
The mornings discussion of article
nine. developed absolute impasse-both
sides being ol,durate. Neither would
bulge nor yield an inch. Agreement be-

tiaries decided to spread upon the rec

s to consideration, of article 10, which
provides for the surrender to Japan Of
Russian warsllips interned in far east

Edward Rosewater, editor of the
Omaha Bee, in his address said he was
secretary Of the committee on resolu-
tions at the republican national con-
vention in 1900, and wished to contra
dict the statement made in the rec1p-
rocity convention that the republican
party in It's platform in 1900 and In
1904 had pledged itself to revision OF
pledge. "The republican party's
greatest pledge" he said, was a con-
.tinuance of prosperity, and we have
got it. Now the question is, are we at
the crossing of the roads, or are we
not on the upward trend to
the highest degree of prosperi-
ty this country is capable
of having. But remember that there
are methods of reaching the republican
congress that must be pursued by you
here today or you are not going to ac-
complish very much. You cannot ac-
complish it by denouncing tariff as a
graft There is graft, of course, in
connection with the tariff, but the
principle of the protective system has
built up the industries of this country
and it is because of the great inversion
of American industry to all parts OF
the world that you have had trouble
here which you are called together to
consider. You never would have been
here but for the fact that fifteen hum
dred millions of American product
have found their way into foreign
countries within the past year. l be-
lieve in carrying out the letter and
spirit of the constitution; that reaches
these questions by reciprocity. I do
not believe you can do it by double
standard. That is precisely what you
propose here, the double standard of
tariff, which means simply a minimum
tariff and nothing else"

STRONG RESOLUTIONS OFFERED
The Chicago Convention Opened To-
day With Addresses by cummins
and Other Notable Public Men-set
of Resolutions Brought Before the
Convention Advocating Revision of
the Tariff With Minimum and Max.
imum Schedules.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Governor Cum
mins of Iowa, A. B. Farquhar, OF

braska; w. C. Maybury, of Michigan;
Mr.. Howser, of wisconsin,; and e. S.
Lockridge, of Indiana, delivered ad-
dresses before the reciprocity conven-
ton this morning, after which the
chairmen of delegations were called
upon for five-minute speeches. Sub
sequently the report of the resolutions
committee was taken up and CONSIDER
ed. Resolutions favoring maximum
and minimum tariff were presented
which advocate form of reciprocity
that will give a low tariff to nations
favoring the United States CONNER
cially, and higher tariff to those
countries which discriminate in their
tariffs against this country.
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following resolution for the
conventions:
Resolved. That the convention,
recognizing the principle of protec-
ton 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. That the question OF
schedules and items to be consider
ed in such reciprocal concessions
preferably be suggested by per-
manent tariff commission. to be
created by congress ana appoints
ed by the president, which shall
consist of economic. industrial
and commercial experts.
'sThat it is the sense of the con-
vention that our present tariff at
fords abundant opportunity for
such concessions without injury TO
: industry, trade or wages of labor.
THAT we urge action upon con-
gress at the earliest time possi-
bic.
I'VE recommend that perman-
ent organization be formed under
the style of American Reciprocal
Tariff League and that a commit
tee of fifteen be appointed by the
chair to have full power to organ
ize and further posecute the work
for which the convention assem-
,bled. Said committee shall have
the power to increase its MEMBER
ship and to fill vacancies which
are necessary"
