South Dakota mines, of which he is the
owner. the workmcn arc paid IN eight
hour wage for 10 hours work, that they
are obliged to work seven days each
week, ana that out of 200 men in the
mines only 700 are union. while the
company takes pains to see that this
proportion is not increased. 1t is even
shown that eight-hOur agitators and
union organizers have been driven out
of the mines and that the company
;he miners are compelled to deal. All
this is at the Hearst mines in South
Dakota. Hearst owns the mines and
the whole town, but he is not seeking
votes in South Dakota.
The exposure of Hearst in this in
stance is on a par with that which
showed him employing Chinese labor

white laborcrs are abundant. while de

Won BUELoW ASKS THE REIcHS
TAG TO EXTEND TIE AGREE
MENT WITH AMERICA.
DESIRES TO CONTINUE At PEACE
PLACES HIGH VALUE ON GOOD
POLITICAL RELATIONS WITH
THE UNITED STATES.

Berlin, Feb. 23.-The reichstag dur
Ing the day passed the first and sec
ond readings, without amendment, of
the governments proposal to extend
reciprocal tariff rates to the United
States until June 80, 1907.
Chancellor Won BueloW opened the
debate on the proposal The house
was tninly occupied, scarcely more
than seventy members being in their
seats. Ambassador Tower and Sec
ond Secretary Garrett of the American
embassy were alone in the diplomatic
gallery,
The chancellor said that the impe-
rial government asked the reichstag
10 authorize the application OF the
treaty rates to the United States not
as a right under the most favored ma
tion Interpretation, but in order that
the negotiations pending might still
lie conducted to a satisfactory end and
because it vas in the interest OF bOtn
countries to avoid tariff war. Inc
chancellor said he placed high value
on good | olittcal relations between
Germany and the United states, which
were blessing to both lands, but It
would be deceptive to believe that be
would buy political friendship by the
sacrifice of Germany's economic inter
ests. The grounds OF the govern
ments proposals We're that a tariff
war, which must only be reSOTted to
in case OF necessity, would damage not
only Germany's shipping interests but
other important departments of indus
try. Although the United States would
be injured in it's exports, which had
grown considerably, the advantage Of
such a war would rest with third
country. The chancellor presumably
meant Great Britain.
Regarding the length of the period
of the tariff arrangement the chan
cellor said that longer time might
have the appearance of a definite set
tlement, while shorter one would not
afford time for overcoming the difficult
ties in the way of commercial treaty.
He reminded the reichstag that Ger
many's negotiation of treaties with
other states had not always progressed
smoothly and had extended over long
periods.
1--WE are therefore forced" said the
chancellor. ':to ask parliament to con-
sent to this proposal so that we may
continue in peace with the United
States. TIE note Of the American
secretary of state, Mr.. Root, to Am
bassador Sternburg on Tuesday shows
that the United States has the same
desire for friendly commercial and
political relations that we have"

Council,

The city council held a short regular
meeting on Wednesday evening.
After the bills had been audited and
allowed, Alderman Vinje, from the
committee appointed to investigate
the cost of changing the water main
at the pumping station so as to do
away with the square turn, reported
that the gross cost would be $132.40,
that $50 worth of mains would be
taken up worth $50, making
the net cost $52.7O. The report
was accepted, and action deferred to
the next meeting.
Alderman Vinje offered resolution
that all water rates be raised twenty
per cent. President Lund thought
some of those buying water at meter
rates should be excepted from the
raise, but after discussion, the resolu-
ton was adopted to apply to all ex-
cept the Great Northern, which has a
long term contract. The reason for

Alderman Vinje moved that Mayor

one member of the council be appoint
ed to negotiate with Mr.. Peck relative
to ecuring a site for the septic tank.
The motion carried, and Alderman
Watzke was appointed as the third
member of the committee.
The modified proposition from
LoWeth & Wolff TO draw the plans for
the city sewer system, and perform all
the other engineering services up to
the time of letting of the contract for

peared for the sewer committee and
urged that the matter be disposed of

ga wei informed official of Ca
racas, in d letter received here during

prepare the documents to institute
legal proceedings against the La
Guayra harbor corporation and the La

These companies are both owned by
