No Open Sunday Yet.

BostOn.-The house of representa-.
tives went on record against the en-.
actment of a law which would give
much greater latitude in the Obsery.
ance of Sunday.
After hours of debate the house
substituted for the bill reported by
the committee on legal affairs, the
bill offered by Representative Katz-
mann of Hyde Park, which leaves, eX-
cept for a few labor exemptions, the
Sunday law as it is at present on the
statutes.
There was no roll call on the meas
ure on any stage, the substitute bill
being ordered to a third reading by a
vote OF 121 to 27.
The recess committee on Sunday
laws, or a majority of it, favored
amending the present law so that
sports might be permitted after 2 p.
m. on Sunday in the discretion of To-
cal authorities and that Sunday con
certs might be given under similar
regulation. These recommendations
were also in the bill which came from
legal affairs. Unless the Katzmann
bill is amended sports will still be pro.
hibited on Sunday and Sunday con
certs must be given by religious so
cieties for a religious or charitable
purpose.
The Katzmann bill is substantially
the present law, the additional labor
exemption being contained in the fin
al clause of the bill, which does not
prohibit the keeping open of Libraries
and museums to which admission is
free of charge; nor the sale and de-
livery of flowers before / o'clock in
the forenoon; nor the digging OF
clans; not the furnishing of music to
guests in hotel dining rooms and res
taurants; nor the handling and trans
portation before s o'clock in the fore
noon of musical instruments, scenery
and theatrical property"

RelatIona With France.

Washington, D. C.-Although it is
stated that nothing has yet been done
toward adjusting the tariff relations
between France and America, and
while it also has been stated that there
appeared to be no occasion for the dis
patch of n tariff commission to Paris,
as was done in the case Of Germany,
the satisfactory completion of the ar
rangements with that country has
caused preparations to be made to con-
slider the case OF France.
So far as is known, the recent decis-
ion that a tariff commission would
serve no useful purpose remains un-
changed. The reason assigned for that
statement was that the negotiations
with France had long ago progressed
far beyond the commission stage and
had indeed resulted in the drafting of
\ treaty.
But this treaty can come to nothing
without Affirmative congressional ac-
tion and the French government is be.
lieved to be unwilling to await the
uncertain course Of legislation. In
stead, 1t is willing, it is believed, to
follow the example set by Germany
and endeaVor to secure whatever ad-
Vantages are opened to them under a
reciprocity agreement, drawn under
section OF the Dingley act.

Mayor Says Against Home Rule.

New York-Mayor Mcclellan has re-
corded his official disapproval of the
public utilities bill, which he sent
back to the Legislature, where it is
expected it will be repassed without
the mayors signature.
In a memorandum accompanying
the disapproved measure the mayor
explains that, while he is in accord
with the general principles embodied
in the bill, it is as whole so destruc-
tive of the principle of home rule that
but one course was open to him. This
was his basic objection, but the mayor
adds in effect that such legislation
would result inevitably in the appoint
ment Of partisan commissioners, who
in times of party stress would use
their power to coerce the transporta-
ton companies into furnishing funds
with which to corrupt the electorate.

To Take UP Discrimination.

Washington Discrimination against
the uniform of the navy at the dane,
Ing pavilion of the Pine beach amuse.
ment park, resort adjacent to the
jamestown exposition, has led Sec.
retary Metcalf to vigorous action.
Complaint was made to the navy
department by Lieut.. j. V. Babcock,
commanding the United States steam
ship TruXton, on May lG, that sailors
in uniform were refused admission,
while soldiers were not barred. On re
ceipt Of complaints from well.behayed
and selfrCspGCting men OF the yes
sell a frst-class petty officer was in
structed TO apply for admittance and
If refused to see the manager and ask
reasons for such action. Such direC.
tiOn being carried out, S. e. Lane,
gunner's mate, of the first class, was
on May 8 refused admission to the
dancing pavilion, the manager saying
that under no circumstances would
men in bluejacket uniform be admit
ted; that the men were not objected
to, but their uniform was, and If they
wished to go in and dance other
clothes would be furnished them.
The park is advertised as being
under the management of the Colum-
bia amusement company, incorporat-
ed w. F. Crawl, president.
Sec Metcalf forwarded the complaint
to Gov. Swanson of Virginia and to
President Tucker of the exposition.
Both Gov. Swanson and President
Tucker replied under date of May "a.
Gov. Swanson said that he should at
once do everything he could person
ally and under the law to have the dis.
elimination stopped. President Tuck
er explained that the Pine beach park
was entirely outside of the grounds of
the exposition and that the exposition
company had no authority or control
over its management. Mr. Tucker
expressed hearty sympathy with the
secretary's position and said he would
do everything he could as a citizen
of the commonwealth to prevent dis
elimination against the navy uniform.
The matter is now in the hands Of
the law department of the navy.
