NEW SPANISH TARIFF,
Ministers Negotiating With Foreign
Governments.

Special Cablegram to The Star
MADRID. October I0.-The new Spanish
tariff remains in a kind of suspended ami
nation. Before it should have come into
operation on July / last. the British gov
eminent represented to Spain that the new
duties would affect the trade in British
woolens and cottons, in machinery and cut
lery and other manufa ctures and also Sc
riously in coal. AT the same time Spanish
ministers in active negotiation with
various foreign governments for the re-
arrangement of commercial treaties. Ameri-
ca has practically come under an agree
ment whereby she is to pay the minimum
duties of the new tariff for the present and
obtain the benefit of any reductions that
may be made in the Observation-Disclosures
scale hereafter in return for according
INSTRUMENTATION treatment to Spanish
goods. Special reductions, however, will be
granted on the duties on Spanish wines
and fruit entering the United States, under
the clause of the Dingiey act, which au-
thoriZes the President to make such conces-
sions without referring to Congress. Under
this agreement. America obtains equal
treatment with the great manufacturing
countries of Europe. and also with the pro-
ducers of breadstuffs like Russia and Rou-
mania. The hope and expectation of the
Spanish government is to effect similar
agreements Win all the South American
republics. but this at present seems at
best doubtful
Switzerland. the repeal of the treaty with
which was the immediate cause of the all
round fiscal disturbance. has not yet agreed
to a new commercial treaty and has not
even asSented to a modus Vivendi by con-
tinuing the old convention till the end of
the year, though it is stated in Madr d that
negotiations have at last been opened at
Berne. which promise an amicable settle
ment.
Meanwhile. however. Spanish goods en-
tering Switzerland are pay ng the highest
duties the Swiss tariff plus surcharge
of fifty per cent: and Swiss goods enter
ing Spain also pay the highest duties. plus
fifty per cent. Such are the practical
has struck a convention with Spain to
place their respective imports on most
favored-nation treatment until the end OF
this year, by which time it is hoped that
a new treaty will be drafted. German
goods entering Spain are, therefore now
paying the duties in the second column of
the revised Spanish tariff, VIII lie Spanish
goods entering Germany taxed on the
lowest scale of the imperial tariff. France
and Italy have been til: now as StandOffish
as Switzerland. France is. next to Great
Britain, the largest customer of Spain.
The trade has suffered through protection
ism on both sides and France now resents
the summary termination of the moSt-fa-
vored-nation agreement which has existed
between the two countries for a dozen
wears.

DRUG on THE MARKET
Heavy Boot Gives Way to Light One
in Topdop

Special Cabirgrain to The Star
LONDON, October 1O.-The heavy boot
has given pace to the light one s,on.
keepers say that whereas some wears aeo
heavily made boots were preferred almos+
all classes of these are now q druo in tb.
market
In Leicestershire more than 80 600 opera-
tfvcs employed in making the heavier
classes are now working on short time
and the fact is attributed to the excen
tlonally fine weather, but in the opinion
only brought n.atters to a crisis The real
reason is that the heavy boot has become
unpopular.
american manufacturers were the first
to push the light boot in this country"
said the manager of an American boot
shop in an interview. I'm America they
cannot make heavy boot, but in any
case every one there prefers a light one
$50 popular have light boots become in
London that scarcely any one will have the
other kind. The reasons, I think, are that
we do not now experience such hard win
ters as we used to. and that lighter boots
and shoes are less firing to walk in, more
pliable and consequently more comfortable
to wear.
AT first the American makers reaped
the harvest, but now English makers are
waking up and are manufacturing boots
to compete with the American ones
Il do not believe the question of cost has
had much effect on the Sales for the one
price principle is now very widely adopted
and a heavy boot costs no more than a
light one
Mr.. f. Swaysland. an expert in the boot
trade. who has just returned from Ameri-
ca, in an interview said that while British
manufacturers were not at present in any
grave danger from American competition
the English fiscal system naturally made
it easy for any nation to dump an excess
Of goods into this country at whatever
prices suited them best

Of wages is lowered, he added, then. and
not till then. will she come into serious
competition with ourseievs. and. being
shielded by her fiscal system, will become
very formidable"

CRAFTY DETECTIVE
WORK SUCCESSFUL

There Il quite an interesting detec-
tive story being told III Sunbury and
ii all the details are true the stories of
Sherlock Holmes and Nick Carter are
equalled. .Eif not surpassed.
From what has been learned several
years ago an officer in the United
States Army, at thatGtime located in
the Philippines, suddenly deserted
while under arrest for stealing a large
sum of money and also charged with a
number of other crimes, some Of them
of very serious nature. Owing TO
the mans many bad deeds and the
manner in which he so easily escaped
the United States Government was
very anxious to apprehend him. Es-
pecially anxious was present Secre-
tary Of War Taft, who at the time was
Governor General of the Philippines
and who desired that the erring officer
should be severely punished.
Mr.. Taft gave special instructions
that no effort should be spared in try
ing TO capture HIM and the case was
placed in charge of one of the best de-
tectives in the Secret Service. The
we'll known sleuth Immediately took
up the case and the chase after the fel-
low was soon a merry one. He was
traced 10 this country but realizing
that he was being closely pursued he
managed 70 elude the detective on
numerous occasions. He was located al
different places, but always managed
10 get away before his arrest could be
made. Finally after a search through
the anthracite coal regions of this
State il was learned that the fellow
was some where in this section and
when the detective picked up the clue
he visited the towns in this neighbor-
hood. When all trace of him was again
lost il was believed that he had beer
in Sunbury and was possibly still
there. The detective soon went to Sun
bury and decided TO make thorougE
search. Securing employment on {
delivery wagon he kept a careful watci
and believed that he was on the righ
track. He later secured several othe
different positions in Sunbury and a
last finally spotted his man who wa
working for the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company Dogging his ever
move he was convinced that he ha
the right party and Monday last weel
the arrest was made and the man wa
taken TO Buffalo, New York. The dc
tective kept very quiet while i'll Sun
bury and il was not until he was sur
Of his man that he told anything cor
crening the case. Even then he wa
very reticent but before leaving SUI
bury stated that the man committed 5
many crimes and of such a serious nt
ture that if given the limit he cOul
be sent TO prison for ninety four year
More of the details concerning ii
story will likely be learned later.

Hauling Lime.

The farmers are taking advantage of
the snow to haul lime for fertilizing
purposes. Scores OF sleds loaded with
lime were driven through this city
yesterday on their way home from the
kilns. Farmers who have lime to haul
each winter are very anxious TO see
snow as without il the roads are pretty
sure TO be bad, when the transportation
of lime becomes "a serious problem.
Comparatively little lime up to the
present had been hauled this winter
owing to the bad roads. most farmers
postponing the work hoping for fall
Of snow
Yesterday morning they started out
in good earnest not "A few driving
many miles, from Rush and Gearhart
townships TO County Commissioner c.
W. Cooks kilns in Valley township.
Naturally when there is such rush as
now there is great congestion of sleds
about the kilns and except for those
who arrive early there is long and
tedious wait in store. To obviate the
delay many Of the farmers get up as
early as two or three O'Clock in the
morning and start for the kiln in the
hope that they may be among the first
10 arrive. 1t frequently happens, how
ever, that the farmers are all early and
then the question whose sled shall be
loaded first is decided by the order of
arrival. Patience and good humor gen
orally prevail at the kiln, and although
IL causes long hours and long intervals
between meals, yet hauling lime is
work that by no means is disliked by
the young farmers. All that is desired
is plenty of snow.
