A Tariff Scare.

A Chicago newspaper prints let

a big scare on the tariff question The
letter makes the statement that tho
German government has established a
free trade bureau in this country with
branches in all the large cities, the OBJ
ject being TO force this country TO ad-
init German products into this country
at a reduced rate of duty or positive
ly free. 1t is an old story of foreign
interference, the calculation being to
fire the American heart with Ameri-
can indignation. The letter is very
cIeyerly constructed and attempts to
prove ~ extracts from speeches pub
lished i'm Germany and speeches pub
lished here that the conspiracy is at
work and has the sanction of the Ger
man emperor.

SECOND TRIP AROUND WORLD.
Truman s. Lewis Thinks This COun.
 try Good Enough for Him.

IrulnHu -. LeWlS Inlhks HIS COuis try Good Enough for Him.
 ! Truman s. Lewis, who, with his wife, has just completed his second trip around the world, says he has seen enough now of that sort of thing to last him as long as he lives and henceforth he will content him. self at home. With the exception of parts of the European countries, MT Lewis found no trouble chatting with people on the way, because almost everybody speaks English, something which makes one feel that there Is some truth in the contention that in time English will be the language of the people in all quarters of the earth. Even now it is heard in every town in the Orient, not only in the hotels, but among the yougsters on the streets. In the opinion of Mir Lewis the condition of the working people is much better here than in any other country in the world, al- though he admitted that the tourist gets but superficial view of how the common people get along.
 The condition of wealthy people is much the same the world over. but MT Lewis noticed that Americans employ less domestics than others. In India, for example, man keeps a servant to attend to everything he owns. He has so many for himself and his wife. If he have children he maintains one for each of them, and the dogs, cats, horses and cows are all treated in like manner. In that country horses are fed with a big wooden spoon and they are so accus- toned to this way of eating that some of the animals would starve before they would reach for anything un- less it was handed to them by an at- tendant. There is no grass and half the horses and cows never know what 1t is to get out into green pasture and enjoy good feed. You would pity the animals. Most of them are nothing but skin and bone and it is a miracle how they live let alone to be of any service to those who own them. It is great country for sand and dust so much so that after coming back one is almost ashamed to find fault about the dust whirling. around our own streets.

THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Judge Reed Saw Machine in 0pera- tion that Cut of Hubbard's Finger.

Judge Reed of the superior court took day off today, there being no business ready for his consideration. It was thought the election contest of Goodrich against Russell would come up, and so far as the respondent was concerned he was ready. His wit. nesses held meeting the other even. ing and he was anxious to dispose of the case. It turned out however, that Colonel Burpee. counsel with the U. G.. church for the relator could not attend to-day, consequently the case went over to next Tuesday, and 1t may not be heard then.
 Yesterday afternoon Judge Reed and counsel in the suit of Hubbard against the Randolph Cloves com. pany visited the defendants mill and witnessed the machine which mained the plaintiffs hand in operation. At torney Kennedy, counsel for the plaintiff contended the machine was an implement of destruction, while the other side held it was as simple as possible and only the utmost care lessness on the part of the operator could bring about an accident.
 The court minutely observed the operation of the machine. made no re- mark on which either side could sus- pend thread of hope of winning and returned to court. Decision was re. served.

WHITES SUCCESSOR.
New Premier Has Taken an Active Part In Agrarian Subjects as Min. lister of the Interior-His Ad.
 ministratfon Not Harsh.

ST. PETERSBURG, May B. The resignation of Premier Witte has been accepted by the czar.
 The emperor has thrown over the statesman who in the last eight months has twice saved Russia from foes with. out and foes within.
 Witte will be succeeded as premier by his unrelenting foe, Privy Coun- cilor Goremykin, who was interior minister from 1895 to 1899.
 Count Witte's retirement from public life is complete. There is no truth in the report that he will be appointed president of the council of the empire.
 III health is given as the reason for his retirement, but of course it is a victory for the reactionlsts at court.
 The czar never loved Witte. Tho count has served the czar's purpose, has been a barrier between him and the people during the trying months of the uprising which has been SUD- pressed and has made it possible to borrow enough money to meet the ar- my's needs and the reactionists' pur- poses for two long years. The czar called Witte from retirement to ne- gotiate the treaty of Portsmouth. Even today it is predicted that when

Hearing Postponed Again.

Once again the probate hearing on the estate of the late F. B. Rice has been put back, owing to an oversight of some of the attorneys in the case. Considering the prominence of the lawyers this case has so far been re- markable for mistakes. At the out set one of the lawyers moved for a dissolution of I. P. Kellogg's first in- junction restraining A. E. Rice from voting on the now famous 409 shares of stock. When the matter came to court it turned out that the lawyers law was obsolete, that the statute un- der which he moved for the dissolu- tion had been repealed some years ago. To-day it transpired that the proposed hearing for an extension of time to file claims against Mir Rice's estate had not been advertised, and so the hearing had to go over for a week, by which time 1t is expected the law will have been complied with. Attorney Goodwin Stoddard of Bridgeport was not on hand to-day, but 1t is believed he will be next week when the hearing comes up.

Last week these teams had a pull and so much strength was displayed that the rope broke. Tonight an extra heavy rope will be in use. The teams have been practicing steadily and each side is confident of winning.
 Charles Sircula of North River side street was removed to the hos- pital this afternoon as he is threaten ed with appendicitis.
 There will be meeting of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement societies this evening in the Lyceum.
 Thomas Sherlock of Charles street is on two weeks vacation to Worcester.
 James Maher of Washington av- enue and Michael Morrissey of South Leonard street are on a fishing trip to Bantam.
 Adam Bromston of James street strayed away from his home yester- day afternoon and his parents had a difficult time finding him.
 Although at the last meeting of the board of health the condition of lower Bank street was discussed and tnI fn fn if thot thu street in that section was kept in a sanitary condition. it is almost as bad as ever. The nuisance will not be abolished by simply looking after the place for few days. It twill be necessary to keep an eye on 1t all times. If one or two of lenders were brought into the court this might be the means of bringing relief to the people who have long since become tired of seeing the street used as dumping grounds. The best thing to do is to clean it up and keep it clean so it will be like thorough fare instead of a dirty looking back yard.
 Persons who have any regard for their dogs should keen them muzzled as the dog order is still on.
