LAFAYETTE STATUE.
MI. Peck Here to Consult the Presi-
dent s.:

Ferdinand w. Peck of Chicago. president
of the Lafayette monument commission,
will confer with the President today or to-
morrow about the unwilling of the monu-
ment in Paris, July 4, the date selected.
When Mr. Peck was commissioner general
of the United States to the Paris EXPOSE
ton he was made chairman of the commits
sion. He appointed the following members:
Senator Allison, Justice William r. Day,
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, Archbishop
John Ireland, Melville E. Stone, A. H.
Revell, Charles G. Dawes, E. A. Potter DR..
w. T. Harris, Robert ]. Thompson.
The Lafayette monument is a splendid
equestrian statue of bronze, situated upon a
famous Tuieries Garden, near Paris Paul
Bartlett, now living in Paris, is the sculptor,
and the statue has been eight years in
process of erection.
The cost of the monument has been $685.
600. OF this amount American school chill
dren contributed 100000 in pennies and B.
cent pieces, practically every school In the
country being represented. Congress pro-
vided $4,000 in Lafayette dollars, and these
were sold at premium netting another
$50, 200. Private subscriptions make up the
other part of the total.
Mr.. Peck will consult the President and
Secretary Root as to the program for the
unwilling. The President will be asked to
visit France to personally attend the cere-
monies, but it is hardly likely that he will
do so.

THE HAGUE DISCUSSION.
France Declared Willing to Unite
With Britain and America.

PARIS. March 4.-As a European power
with perhaps the greatest interest in light
ening the military burden, if this can be
accomplished without jeopardizing national
interests, France is not opposed to joining
Great Britain and the United States in a
discussion of the Limitation of ornaments
at the approaching peace conference at The
Hague At the same time government cir
cles are convinced that no practical result
will be obtained by such a discussion, but,
on the contrary, that it is more likely TO
produce international irritation and dis
cord.
The Temps expresses the opinion that a
discussion of the limitation of ornaments
might prove more dangerous to the world s
peace than it's omission. The article. which
has attracted much attention points out
that Great Britain's reduction of naval arm
aments, to which Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman, the premier, referred in his article
in the Nation, is only provisional, and says
it is notorious that if nothing Is done at
The Hague the conference will be followed
by the immediate laying down, of three
more battleshfps by Great Britain, which
will possibly then be construed in certain
quarters as a menace, whereas 1t is now ac-
cepted as a mere normal measure of se.--
defense.
Apropos of the British premier's recog-
milton that the limitation Of ornaments
would leave Great Britain mistress of the
seas. the Temps says: National interest

mined pacificator-when he is English

TWELVE ALREADY SAVED.
The Anti-Suicide Bureau Met Success
in Its First Seventy-Two Hours.

NEW YORK. March 4.-The first report
to greet Gen. Booth. the founder of the Sal
walton Army. when he arrives in this city
on the steamship Minneapolis today will be
that twelve men and women have been
saved from suicide in the seventy-two hours
that the anti-suicide bureau of the Saliva
ton Army has been in operation.
Col. Thomas Holland. who Is in charge of
the bureau, said last night that these per-
sons had come from Jersey City, Long
Island. the Bronx and the Bowery, and that
they represented many different walks in
life. There were bartenders. bookkespers,
dressmakers. drummers. housewives and la
borers, old and young, some with friends,
some friendless. but they accepted the invi-
'tation of Col. Holland and Mrs. Brigadier
Bovill to come to the army headquarters
in West 14th street and unload the burdens
that were too heavy for them to carry.
why do you wish to die?" is the ques-
ton put to the would-be suicides.
Drinks, drugs, disease, loneliness and I'M
happiness. all mentioned with a sense of
failure in the struggle of life, are some of
the reasons given.
Col Holland is stout and CHEEKY, with an
optimistic face. a hearty voice and laugh,
and grip of the hand that denotes friend

who have the gloom of death in their eyes, y

RANDALL ON THE TARIFF.
Says Republicans Will Never Revise

The protective tariff system was the sub
ject OF a speech made by Mr.. Randall of
Texas during lull in the business of the
House today For the purpose of protesting
against the tariff, Mr.. Randall called up his
resolution requesting the President to in
form Congress what agreements, if any,
have been entered into between the United
States and the German government affect
ing imports. A letter from Secretary Root
was read in which he said that no such
agreements have been made since the
modus vivendi of last year. Mr.. Root fur
Their said that as matters now stand the
maximum German tariff would take effect
against imports from this country on
June 80 next unless in the meantime some
thing is done to prevent that result.
Mr.. Randall saw in this letter another eff
fort to further fasten the protective policy
of the republican party on the people of
the United States, and made the prediction
that tie tariff never would be revised SO
long as that party was in power.
