TARIFF WAR OR
RECIPROCITY
United States Will Have to De-
eide the Matter of French
Treaty Very Soon.

Paris. Nov. f.-Indications point to an
early inauguration OF a tariff war be-
tween France and the United States.
The negotiations opened last summer for
an arrangement on basis giving France
the benefit of 20 per cent reduction in
wines in return for preferential rates
upon list of about 100 articles. including
shoes, tools, machinery. etc. have thus
far been barren of results, and the ac-
ton Of the French government Saturday
in virtually promising not to conclude
any further commercial arrangements
until parliament passes upon the pro-
posed revision of the tariff of 1892 seems
to preclude any chance of agreement.
Extension of One Month.
Last week. before the government made
this promise, a reluctant assent was Civ
en- to an extension OF the decree grant
ing the minimum rates to Porto Rican
coffee until Dec. L. While the extension
nOminally keeps the issue open for an
other month, ii is practically certain that
nothing will be accomplished unless the
United States radically changes its atti-
tude. France having all along regarded
the concessions asked of her as being ut
terly dispropOrtlonate to what was Of

Is withdrawn Dec. l, as now appears like

DAY MUST DIE
FRIDAY, DEC. IS
Armstrong Re-SentenCeS Muir
derer, Following Appeal
to Supreme Court.
CONDEMNED MAN UNM0vED
JUDGE ILL AT EASE FACING
PRISONERS STEADY GAZE.

For the second time Albert T. Day. the
colored murderer of II. II. Voss, col
ored politician. was yesterday sentenced
20 be shot By Judge Armstrong OF the
district court. The re-sentence was made
necessary by an appeal TO the supreme
court, which was dismissed at the open
.ng of the October term.
Judge Armstrong seemed more nervous
than Day as sentence was passed. When
called upon to stand up. the murderer
walked forward TO the judges bench and
leaned on the rail, looking directly into
the judges eyes. This seemed TO bother
the Judge until Deputy Sheriff Butler
stepped between the bench and the man
whose life was being declared forfeit.
Now is the time to make arrangements
as 10 which method of death shall be in
flicted." said Judge Armstrong.
Shooting" replied Day, in a loud
voice, without showing the least sign or
emotion or special interest IN the pro-
ceedings.
Pronounces Sentence.
Judge Armstrong then pronounced the
statutory death sentence and named Dec.
is as the date OF execution. The fatal
shot must be fired between the hours or
10 o'clock in the morning and o'clock
I'm the afternoon on that day.
Day was first sentenced April IS last.
The case was appealed and then dis
missed. Now the only hope of saving the
colored mans life rests with the state
board of pardons, which meets in two
weeks.
Day was brought from the penitentiary,
where he has been confined since his
first sentence. by a deputy warden, and
after the court proceedings was taken
back to his cell. He maintained a stolid
silence during the time he was in the
city and county building.
The murder of which he was convicted
occurred in October, 1906. in Franklin

shot Voss. who died instantly. Day was
for some time employed as q coachman
about the city and is well known among
the colored element.
Method of Execution.
The murderer was represented in court
yesterday by his attorney, Walter Little.
The state was represented by Frederick
c. Locfbourow, district attorney. When
he had anything TO say why sentence
should not be pronounced. Mr.. Little de-
clared that he did not desire TO make a
statement for his client. The district at
tOrney was also reticent when called upon
by the Judge 10 express an opinion.
According to the Utah statutes a man
convicted of first degree murder can
choose between death by shooting and
death by hanging. In the case of Day he
will be shot. Six men are selected by the
warden of the Tenitentiary and each sup
piled with a rifle Five of the guns are
loaded the sixth containing a blank shell.
The prisoner is placed about ten yards in
front of the firing squad, blindfolded,
used as a target. The firing squad is
placed behind screen with holes in ii
at a proper height for their guns. The
word to fire is given and it is all over.

BRITISH BANK
RATE BOOSTED
Strenuous Effort Being Made
to Prevent Further 0utgo
of Gold to America.
SITUATION NOT YET CLEAR
BANK FAILURE AT HAMBURG
ALARMS BERLIN.

London, Nov. 4.-The persistent de-
mands from America for gold In spite
of the recently increased discount rate
Of the Bank of England, and in face
of the continued rise in the cable
transfer rate, caused the Bank of Eng
land this morning to raise its rate from
5Ia to per cent. Although an increase
to this rate next Thursday would not
have surprised the market, the an
nouncement of the rise today occa-
stoned somewhat OF furry locally.
Bankers Became Nervous.
1t is considered. however, in finan-
cial circles to be the natural outcome
of the unfavorable New York bank
statement When the Bank of Eng
lands rate was raised to 51a per cent
Oct. 81 it was thought that the position
in the United States was clearing sat
isfa ctorily, but the continued engage
ments of gold at a loss of to 8 per
cent on the exchange rates caused a
recrudescence of nervousness i'm the dis
count market and rates were put up
from 512 TO per cent in endeavors to
assist the bank to protect it's reserve,
but the futility of the efforts is shown
by the fact that since Thursday the
United States had drawn daily from
the bank substantial sums already ag-
gregating S57, 00O,0 Egypt has also
recommended withdrawing gold.
Financial circles here now incline to
the belief that the per cent rate will
suffice, and that no further advance
will be necessary, particularly if the
Bank of France renders it's promised
assistance. All depends, however, on
the absence of demands of alarming
proportions from America.
Depressing Effect.
The rise in the Bank of England's
rate of discount, coupled with the I'M
satisfactory position in New York as
revealed by the New York bank state
ment, caused a depressing effect all
around on the stock exchange today.
Consols dropped IS and Americans were
offered in many cases at a point below
parity without finding buyers.
The position here, however, is re-
garded as being very sound, and the
declines registered today were more in
the nature of a sentimental marking
down of quotations than actual selling.
The market, in short, regards the adj
vance of the bank rate as purely ac-
tive measures against Americas gold
demand and to prevent the New York
City 6 per cent bonds from being placed
here.
Took All the Gold in Sight.
America purchased today the whole
of the gold in the open market, about
6 100000. The price paid for the gold
was 7Ss 1sd, plus the commission.
The United States this afternoon took
G453,0O in bar gold and 100000 in
American eagles from the Bank of
England, in addition to the gold pur-
chased in the open market today.
These purchases, in the face of the 6
per cent bank rate, caused some dis
cUssion of a probability of a per cont
rate.
Three months discount rates are now
quoted at 61A per cent

DELAWARE "WET OR "DRY."
intensely Exciting Campaign on the
Liquor Question.

Dover, Del, Nov. 4.-Delaware tomorrow
will vote solely on the liquor question
The campaign just closed has been one of
the most interesting in the history of the
state and has been devoid of party poll
tics. Tomorrow the people have the privi-
lege of determining whether liquor shall
be sold or manufactured in the districts of
the state. There are four districts, Kent
county, Sussex county, rural New Castle
county and the city of Wilmington. There
are only three counties in the state and
Wilmington is in New Castle county. If
a majority of the voters in any district
decide that there be no license" then the
saloons in that district must go out of
business.
Both sides claim they will win. The
temperance advocates say they will carry
everything except the City of Wilmington.
which they declare to be i'm doubt The
opposition are claiming that the vote will
be wet with the exception of rural
New castle county, which they regard as
doubtful.

1t was stated today rnat the eleva-
tors, boats and warehouses at Buffalo
have 3,600,000 bushels of grain and 500
carloads of merchandise and manufac-
tuTed goods, very largely for export,
against which drafts for gold could be
drawn the moment il is loaded on yes
sells that are waiting at Atlantic points
for cargoes.
The magnitude of this accumulation
OF American products is indicated by
the fact that the railways find them
selves unable to move it to the sea-
board, Notwithstanding the enormous
development OF traffic facilities with
in the last few years. The New York
Central lines have increased the num-
Der OF locomotives 81 per cent within

Congress Not Likely to Pass
Currency Legislation on
Short Notice.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Nothing new of a
disquieting nature reached the treasury
department today. Communications by
telephone with several financial centers
showed a more settled and hopeful tone in
all sections than at any time during the
last two weeks. One of the treasury Of
ficials said that the department was
overwhelmed with letters and kilograms
from bankers in all parts of the country
in regard to their taking out Increased
circulation. The department is daily send
ing out large shipments of national bank
currency and the aggregate would be
much greater were it not for the delays
incident to the withdrawal of government
posits and their redeposit to secure circu-
lation. The plan suggested for the in
crease of circulation is according to the
officials, working admirably.
VIII Take. Time.
The president Is consulting with mem
bers of his cabinet respecting currency
legislation to be recommended to con-
gress.
1t is conceded that IL will be difficult
TO get any beneficial legislation of this
character through congress quickly. That
was one of the reasons why the president
did not agree with the great interests
which recently appealed to him TO call
an extra session of congress.
1t is feared that some time must elapse
before the diverse views of many people
can be fused into one practicable and eff
fective measure of relief. and il was felt
that little substantial gain would be af-
forded by calling congress now.
II may be stated that none of the null
