Speaker Cannon Says if the People
Want Tariff Revision They Should
Turn Out Present Congress.

Washington, April 6.-Speaker Can
non today made a further explana-
ton Of letter rec ntIy written by
him TO a friend in East Liverpool, o.
regarding the tariff The letter was
published and seemed to indicate that
the tariff revision would probably
come in the future
The statement OF the speaker today
follows:
I was not aware that I was writing
letter for publication. although
have no objection to its publication.
There are many people in the country
who believe that single schedule, or
few schedules. of the tariff may be
amended. This is entirely impractical
DE. for while an amendment 10 a sin
gle schedule might please 6 single in
terest, it could not command enough
votes to enact it.

Complete Revision Needed.

In my judgment nothing can be
done except by a complete revision OF
the tariff which would be a compro-
mise that would command a majority
vote of those $50 members of the house
and the ninety senators. The enact
ment of such q revision and the time
necessary to adjust it to conditions
would halt production. consumption
and commerce for at least twelve
months. and when the compromise is
enacted, as q whole, it will probably
not be an Improvement on existing law.
I don't believe 2, majority Of the peO--
pie at this time desire 10 interfere with
the present conditions which are the
most prosperous conditions we have
had in the republic to the iaDOrer, to
the farmer, to the capitalist, and to the
producer and to the consumer.

my duty to inform you that another of
my children, she who was Infanta
Donna Elvira, is dead to us all. May
God in his infinite mercy have pity on
that unhappy SOUL.
Don Carlos alacrity to disown Ell
vira as soon as the elopement became
known brought out considerable adj
verse comment from those who were
acquainted with his own clouded past.
1t was not long before the motives of
the pretender were disclosed by the
lawsuit which Princess Elvira in
stituted against him for restriction of
her rights under her mothers will.
Don Carlos, who makes his home in a
superb palace in Venice, is renowned
throughout Europe for his extrava-
gance. Though his private fortune is
immense, SO also are his expenditures
and the income from his daughters
large fortune undoubtedly would come
in handy to him. The dispute over the
fortune has never been definitely set
tied and will not be until Don Carlos
surrenders the money or succeeds in
his designs to force his daughter into
a convent. The princess is perfectly
well acquainted with the motives Of
her father and If she falls into his
plan it will be a surprise to her
friends. 1t Is stated that the princess
has consumption in the last stage and

1t was said that Mr.. Whites partners,

the details Of many plans credited to
Mr., White. The building which was
regarded as Mr.. Whites own creation,

PRINCESS ELRV|RA'S

Rome, June sO.-The report that
Princess Elyira. daughter of Don Car
los, the Spanish pretender, has been
persuaded to quit Count Gilippo Fol-
chi, the married artist with whom she
eloped ten years ago and to enter
convent, has been the staple of gossip
this week. The reliability of THE re-
port is questioned by many, but this,
perhaps, Is due to the fact that SINH
lar reports have been circulated be-
fore and have always turned out false.
1t Is known, however, that the Spanish
pretender would move heaven and
earth II he could to put his daughter
In convent and 1t is not at all i'm
probable that hes will at last succeed
In his efforts. In seeking to bring
this about Don Carlos Is not actuated
by any feeling of solicitude for his
daughters moral welfare. What he Is
after is to retain possession Of her i'm
mense fortune, which he would be able
to do II she entered a convent for
life.
In his efforts to break the relations
between Princess Elvira and Folchi
Don Carlos has received the strong
support of the Vatican authorities.
His other daughter, Princess Massina,
has also been active in his aid and
the fact that Princess Elvira is now
staying with Princess Massina in this
city tends to substantiate the reports
that the runaway princess has finally
decided to quit her paramour. At the
time OF the elopement the Vatican was
thrown into a ferment Folchi's UNI

prominent members OF the Jesuit so

Of the folly Of her ways. The Princess

1t was dinicult plan to carry out.
Princess Elvira is the one member Of
