In Election Manifesto Chamberlain Ad-
vocates Moderate Protective Tariff.
[By Associated Pressl

London, Jan. 1.-Joseph Chamber
lain issued his election manifesto to-
day.
After vigorously attacking the new
government, which he describes as
being essentially a "home rule, little
Englander movement, depending for
its existence on the Irish votes" he
devotes himself entirely to an exposi-
tion of his fiscal policy, especially to
the subject Of colonial preference,
which he speaks of as the first item
in the constructive programme of the
unionist party, the second item, close
ly connected with the first, being the
policy of retaliation.
He declares that the colonies will
not wait indefinitely, but will be forced
to enter into arrangements with stran-
gers. He points out that the scheme
of colonial preference will include pro-
vision for small tax on foreign wheat,
but says that as both home grown and
colonial wheat will be free, and the
supply from the colonies unlimited,
the price of bread will not be increas.

Diplomats Exchange Sentiments at Lou
bets New Year Reception.
[By Associated Pressl

Paris, Jan. president Loubet's
New Years reception to the members
of the diplomatic corps gave oppor-
tunity for a significant exchange of
peace sentiment, evidently designed
to Offset the recent wave of pessimis-
tic war talk The usual military hon
ors were rendered on the arrival of the
ambassadors.
The reception was held in the salon
of the Elysee palace. For the first
time the apostolic nuncio did not
make the presentation, Count Torniel-
Ii, the Italian ambassador, taking his
place as dean of the corps.
Count Tornielli, in extending to
President Loubet the Fluctuations of his
colleagues and himself, said that he
was not giving expressions to mere
formal sentiments of fraternity. At
the beginning of the year just closed,
he said, the whole world suffered
from a feeling of the deepest depres-
sion, lightened only by the general
conviction that moral action favoring
the solidarity of the essential inter-
ests and the pacific relations of the
people represented by the diplomatic

Mr.. Chamberlain declares that he
believes the unionist party to be alb
solutely agreed regarding this plan,
though he admits that there may be
some differences of opinion when the
time comes to discuss the methods by
which these aims are to be accom-
pHshed. He says, however, that these
differences of opinion probably are ex-
aggerated and that they are matters
more of verbal distinction than of
practical Importance.
Continuing, Mr.. Chamberlain SAYS:
Il believe our objects can be fully
attained by moderate general tariff,
scientifically adapted to the existing
conditions of Our trade, and so arrang-
ed as to secure the largest amount of
employment at fair wages for our peo-
pie. 1t would necessarily provide for
the free admission of raw materials
and of articles which we do not make
ourselves, while it would place a toll
on the manufactures of those coun-
tries who treat us unfairly.
"Our policy is constructive and prac-
tical. while the policy of our oppon-
ents is destructive and theoretical"

REGARDS 1T AS HIS LAST
Mayor Mcclellan Says He Will Prob
ably Never Hold Another Public
Office.
by Associated PressJ

New York, Jan. Mayor George
B. Mcclellan began today his second
term as mayor, this time for four
years. The ceremonies were few, as
today merely marks the opening of a
new term, not new government. A
number of new heads of the depart
ments were sworn, including General
Theodore A. Bingham, the new police
commissioner.
After they had taken their oaths,
Mayor Mcclellan called the heads
OF departments together and told them
his ambition was to give the city a
clean, efficient and honest government.
He alluded to his present Office as
"the last public office which in all
probability l shall ever fill.'
VIM. T. Jerome. also, was sworn in
for another term as district attorney,
today. Afterward he delivered an ad-
dress to his assistants, in private.

corps was assured by the support of
France. The hope then expressed
had been fulfilled, for which reason
they congratulated themselves on
having been witnesses of the bene-
ficient action of France in behalf of
peace.
President Loubet, in reply said:
t'It is with the deepest satisfaction
that I recall that the hopes for peace,
the object of all our desires, which
were expressed year ago have been
fulfilled. The moral power attained
by pacific ideas throughout the world
has played a great part in this happy
result. The persuasive authority of
these ideas was never before thus
demonstrated, and we may draw there
from the most favorable auguries."
Prince Won Radolin, the German
ambassador, was present, having just
returned from Berlin, where he was
the guest of Emperor William and the
minister of foreign affairs, Baron Won
Richthofen, during the consideration
of Franco German relations.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Adivces receiv-

Boise, Ida, Jan. 1.-The officers be-
lieve they have one of the men respon-
sible for the assassination of Ex-Gov-
ernor Steunenberg.
He is one of those who have been
under suspicion. This man registered
at the Saratoga hotel, three weeks
ago, as M. ]. Hoglan, giving Denver as
his address. A year ago he stayed at
the Pacific hotel, registering as
Thomas Hoglan. A search of his
room at the Saratoga resulted in the
discovery of an old overcoat and some
other rough clothes, also some fish
lines, similar to the pieces found at
the scene of the explosion, supposed
to be part of the string with which the
trigger of the internal machine was
pulled. In his grip was a lot of white

[By Associated Pressl

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 1.-The skir-
mish in the battle for United States
Senator J. G. S. Blackburn's seat was
Won by the Paynter forces in the eau
Gus of the democratic members of the
house of representatives tonight.
The opening tug of war came on
the selection of a chairman of the
caucus. The caucus was not called to
order until shortly after 8 O'Clock, over
and hour of delay being occasioned
by the tremendous press of people
around the house chamber. When
Lewis McQuown, chairman of the
democrat state central committee,
finally brought the members to order
and called for the election of a per-
manent chairman, Representative w.

as I'll. Paynter, and an "administra-
tion" man, was elected over rival

The result of the vote indicated that
the Paynter forces would be able to
organize the house by electing the
chairman and other officials, and the
hopes Of his supporters accordingly
rose higher at the prospect of the
great advantage to be realized from
control of the house machinery when
the balloting for United States sena-
tor was taken up. On the other hand,
the observation-disclosures forces point
ed out that Paynters strength as indi-
Gated by the vote for caucus chair
man was insufficient to elect him as
senator and that, furthermore, several
members who voted for Gooch for
chairman would not vote for Paynter
for senator.
There was considerable delay before
the caucus took up the question OF
nominating speaker of the house.

one time he said he went to look for
land, but bought none. The officers
believe he was laying plans for the
crime and sought to avert suspicion
by remaining in his quarters at the
hotel until opportunity afforded favor
able to his departure.
The funeral of Ex-Governor Stunen-
berg will occur tomorrow at II o'clock

Wiser Counsel Prevents Likelihood of
Threatened General Strike.

st. Petersburg, Jan. ], midnight
The restoration of cable communica-
ton finds the outlook clearing and the
government breathing freer, with the
prospect that Count Witte will yet be
able to steer a way between the rocks
and that still beset his path.
The threat Of general strike in the
near future has disappeared and the
telegraph strike, being without sup
port, is fast going to pieces, in spite
of the mild appeals of the union to
stand firm. The real leaders of the
workmen and other proletariat organ
izations understanding fully their
weakness and lack of proper prepara-
tion for decisive struggle, carried
the day over the hotspurs and con-
vinced the majority that it would be
an irretrievable blunder to prostitute
that which they preach as being the
supreme instrument for the forming
of a free nation to minor issues, such
as the redressing of the grievances of
private individuals.
In registering their decision, how
ever, they place themselves on record

begun by our old President M. Krus-
taleff," now under arrest, thus virtual
ly justifying the accusations of the
government that violation of arti-
cles 102 1875 of the criminal code
covering participation of any associa-
tion, the object of which is armed re-
volt, the punishment for which is
death, is possible.
No Martyr of krustaleff.
The government, however, in order
to discount the attempts to make a
hero of Krustaleff, may bring him to
trial on the simple charge of misap-
the funds of the workmen
in converting them to the founding of
a socialist paper, which it claims can
be substantiated.
A deputation from the workmen,s
council today sent certain demands to

the deputation called on Procurator

procurator bluntly refused to grant
the demand, saying that the case must
be tried by the courts.
Then" said the spokesman of the
delegation, I'VE will declare a general

piled:
"Krustaleff will not be released,
even if the whole world strikes"

general strike seems to insure to
the government a certain period in

ton and place them, when the time
comes for the projected strike, in the
attitude of deliberately provoking a

and to establish a democratic repub-

confined in the fortress of st. Peter
and st. Paul in order to prevent a
possible attempt at rescue, which it
is pointed out would only lead to
bloodshed.
Will Be No Reaction.
The members of Count Whites cab
met deny that the government has
entered upon path of reaction, but
they say the present anarchy cannot
last and persons amenable to law will
be tried in the courts. There can be
40 question of arbitrary means, they
say, and they add that should the
government really enter into a policy
of reaction it must enter upon a period
of strife, the elimination of which
would be that the premier will step
down and out.
1t can be stated that Count Witte
has taken the ground that his min
1stry is only stop gap, that it is his
purpose to- transfer the power of the
cabinet to the hands of the douma and
that therefore the government will not

Death of Ivan Rosenfeld.

Mere mention vas last week made of
this young man, so we'll and favorably
known in Viroqua, where he spent his
younger days and later returned and
held a responsible position as clerk in
the Vernon County Bank. Two years
or more ago, Ivan was obliged to sur
render his elerkship because of failing
health, and in company with his mother
he travelled quite extensively in milder
climates seeking relief from tubercular
affection, but to no effect, and on De-
cember IA, at the home of his parents
in Portage, he passed away. Ivan was
a young man Of exemplary character
and every acquaintance was his friend.
The Portage Register of last issue says
of the deceased:
"At 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon the
office for the dead was said for Ivan
Rosenfeld in St. Johns Episcopal
church. Carried by six of the young
men who had been choir boys with him,
and preceded by a vested choir of thirty
five boys and men, he entered for the
last time the church, where for several
years he himself had been wont, as
cross bearer, to lead the white robed
procession of choristers Slowly, while
thY organ softly played dirge, and
r Re sentences which open the burial
services were being read, the procession
moved through the chGrch, crowded
with sorrowing friends, toward the
sanctuary. From the church the body
was taken directly to the railway
station Interment was at Plymouth
To those who knew Ivan Rosenffld
his loss comes as a very grevious blow,
and yet they are richer for having
known him. To some it is given by an
active life to do many things for their
fellow men, to others by the power of
example to breath forth am influence,

they themselves are gone. Certain
