MIXED UP THEIR CLOTHES
Result of a Freak of Some Society
Girls Who Wore Men Folks
Clothes.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 7.-Brothers
and other male relatives Of number
of south side young women are fran
tically trying to get their wardrobes
back into shape, after a mixup which
came as the result of the formation
of the Sunfower club. Society girls ap-
peared at the home Of Miss Mamie
Hansen 7O5 Twenty-f1rst avenue,
dressed in garments of their papas or
brothers.
After the meeting the trousers,
coats and other articles of apparel got
mixed, and now the men who had fem
mime relatives at the affair are just
beginning to learn what, kind of a
gathering it was. Several men ap-
peared for business next day in coats
that didn't fit, in trousers that were
too tight or too large, and in shoes
that pinched, in the hope that they
would run across the real owner Of
the property and get their own cloth
ing back.

Be Good for Our Products.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE state de-
partment has not yet been informed Of
ficially of the action Of the Russian
government in revoking the ukase i'm
posing maximum tariff rates on GER
tain United States articles of import
Ever since last spring Ambassador
Meyer, acting under instructions of
the department, has been trying to Sc
cure removal of these restrictions on
our trade, which have been very dis
aStrOuS. 31m 1@.
Many important staple exports
which We're being fairly driven out of
the Russian market by the competi-
ton of German and English machin-
cry, favored by the minimum tariff
rates. are now expected to have an
enormous sale, not only in Russian
proper but in Siberia.
It is understood that Secretary Shaw
will recommend to the next congress
legislation calculated to remove some
of the severest features Of the existing
tariff laws providing for the imposi-
ton of a countervailing duty on boun-
ty-aided sugar, the application Of
which by Secretary Gage in 1901
caused the retaliatory action by Rus

against our machinery.
1t is learned that Switzerland, too,
which has imposed maximum rates on
United States products, is about to vol
UNFAIRLY extinguish them and allow
United States exporters the benefits of
the minimum tariff rates.

Toxic, Sept PA mass meeting at
Osaka passed the following resolution
without hindrance on the part of the
police: 1.-THE peace that has just been
concluded between Russia and Japan
forfeits the fruits of victory and sows
seeds of future complications and dan
ger. The governments high-handed
and unconstitutional measure has re-
suited in unexpected disturbance to
the peace Of the city in which the
mikado resides. The empires honor
has been soiled and the spirit of the
constitution lost. Never has our coun-
try been brought to face greater dan
gers.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
hope the humiliating peace agreement
will be broken and the government
will resign"
Long Meeting of the Privy Council.
A special session of the privy coun-
Gil yesterday lasted four hours. No
bill was presented, only report from
the cabinet ministers, Premier Kat
Sura making an extended statement
Of the peace negotiations. According
to the constitution treaty with other
powers requires to be submitted to the
council before ratification. 1t is un-
usual to hold special sitting for SIM
ply making report on diplomatic at
fairs before treaty assumes form
ready for ratification, and this sitting,
without special bill, was rather un-
expected.
Opposition Party Making Trouble.
Opposition political parties have APP
pointed an extensive committee to full
~ report on suffering alleged to have
been caused by the police during the
recent rioting. The progressives and
their local branches continue to press
resolutions against the government.
The Shiba branch condemns the gov
elnment's assumption of the power to
suspend newspapers, declaring it to
be wholly unconstitutional. Quiet,
however, prevails in Toxic.

Cologne, Rhenish Prussia, Sept. -.
The Cologne Gazette, in an inspired
dispatch from Berlin, corrects a report
cabled to one of the Berlin newspa-
pers from New York asserting that
President Roosevelt had written to
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, the Ger
man ambassador at Washington, in
forming him that the concessions Of
fered to the United States by Germany
were insufficient to induce the United
States government to make a CONNER
cial treaty with Germany, because the
United States would be giving up more
than it would receive. The paper de-
MES that any such letter has been
written, or that Germany has already
made specific offers to the government
at Washington.
Germany Is Collecting Data.
The German authorities, the dis
patch goes OH to say, are working as
siduOusly upon the preliminary prepa-
rationS for treaty negotiations Data
regarding the wishes of interested par
ties are being collected, and commits
sioners from several of the imperial
Prussian ministries will soon begin
work on this material. The authori-
ties will t1en decide definitely as to
what position they will take in the
forthcoming negotiations.
Satisfactory Treaty Imposed.
In conclusion the dispatch says: I'm
view Of the extraordinary Importance
which German-American trade rela-
tons have for the business of the ma
tons living on friendly footing with
each other one may reckon with con-
fidence upon success in the making Of
treaty which will form the basis Of
emicable trade relations between Ger
many and the United States for many
years."

SINGING THE SAME OLD SONG.


Dispatches from Little Rock announce
with great solemnity the departure of
the Arkansas representative of the New
York underwriters, who in consequence
Of the persistent and successful efforts
Of its governor and attorney general has
found himself, like Othello, without an
occupation as insurance rate maker. In
bidding the people of Arkansas adieu the
departing insurance autocrat had this to
say:
The passage of the antitrust law and the
recent favorable Interpretation by the SUI
preme court Of this state has created
strangely anomalous as well as an alarm
ing condition of affairs in Arkansas, which
will, II it continues, cause untold annoy
ance to all business interests in this state,
and, indeed, threatens disaster to our indus
trial well-being and advancement II mas
resulted in the driving out of the state of
the old-line fire insurance companies
thereby lessening the supply of valid and
trustworthy fire insurance, which has today
become very basis Of credit and part OF
the foundation upon which our entire com
mercial structure is built. The result has
been that the only fire insurance that is
now obtainable IL that which is furnished
by few small state companies, and stiIl
fewer obscure companies having their head
quarters in other states, the combined cap
ital of which is not equal to the assets Of
single company which this law has driven
away The result has been the inevitable
one. Decreased supply, causing an I'M
precedented demand for insurance, already
has been and will continue to be the cause
n at q, a
for insurance which will very soon be felt
by all classes OF insurers. The action OF
the legislature has not only imposed hard
ship upon all classes of people in this
state, but has defeated the very object and
the first principles OF antitrust legislation.
This is simply dreadful, but the good
people of Arkansas will have to bear II
and suffer for their fOOlhardy interfer-
ence with the benevolent operations of
the insurance trust. Their lamentable
condition is n disagreeable reminder of
the pusillanimity Of Nebraska business
men who have allowed themselves TO be
scared out OF their boots by the Swan
Song OF the Arkansas traveller. We
have heard that song in Nebraska word
for word every time that an attempt has
been made TO break up the insurance
combine and the rate makers have ac-
tually had the nerve to threaten to move
their office from Omaha to Council Blufs
and dictate Insurance rates from the
other shore as If by so doing they could
escape the consequences Of the Sherman
antitrust law, which would be more
severe on them than the antitrust law Of
Nebraska.
Perhaps at no very distant day the
merchants. manufacturers and home
owners of Nebraska will brace up and
muster courage enough to grapple with
the insurance trust az the risk OF its
moving away between two days, leaving
as without fire insurance protection. The
Arkansas example may be a bad one.
but IL all the states should follow suit
the underwriters would probably hive to
