SEVERE BLOW TO
COFFEE TRADE
Maximum Duties Imposed by
France on ImportatiOnS
From United States.

Washington, April 1.-THE reason for
the issue N Paris yesterday of the de-
cree imposing the maximum duties on
coffee imported from the United States
and Porto Rico is said at the state de-
partment to be dissatisfaction of the
French government at the failure of the
United States senate to act upon the
French reciprocity treaty which has been
pending before that body for several
years. Added to this. it is said. is
suspicion upon the part of the French
government that the negotiations now
in progress between the United States
and Germany relative to the tariff upon
American goods imported into Germany
cOnceals some advantage to be bestowed
upon German trade with the United
States in which French trade is not 10
share.
This decree is regarded as the begin
ring of a systematic effort to bring such
pressure to bear upon the American COR
sress. through the imposition of restric.
tons upon the American export trade as
viii force the whole subject of reciprOe-
ity upon its attention at the beginning
of the next session. The state depart
ment officials fear that this action IS
but the precursor of similar attacks upon
American trade by other nations OF
Europe. 1t is feared that the effect of the
French decree will be disastrous to Pc, tc
Rico which at present finds almost its
only market for its coffee in France. now
that the Spanish market is closed by ex-
cesSiVe duties.

TRIED UNDER OLD STATUTE
Law Passed in 1858 Thought To
Cover the Case of Binger
Hermann.

Washington, April 1.-THE last witness
was heard today in the trial of Binger
Hermann for destroying public records.
and the government finished presenting
to the court suggestions regarding the
law points involved in the prosecution
The statute under which Mr. Hermann
is being tried was enacted in February
1853. Only one other case was ever
brought under it, and as this case result
ed in acquittal the law has never re-
ceived. the construction of the supreme
court of the United States The first
case under the statute was tried in Mich.
gan in 1887. The defendant in this case
sold to "A junk dealer certain records Of
the internal revenue service which were
stored in an old barn The acauittal re-
suited because of the failure of the urose-
cJtiOn to show, as the statute requires 2
''wiIful and fraudulent intent to deprive
the government of the documents.
The argument of the court TO-DAY
brought out the iTsistence of the prose
cution that the jury must believe Mr.
Hermann considered his private letter
books public records and that he de-
stroyed them with wiiful and Fraudulent
intent TO deprive the government of them
The testimony today was unimportant
except to clear up several minor matters

VICTIMS ADDED
TO DEATH LIST
Number of Known Dead in the
Earthquake District of
Mexico Is Fifty.
OVER 800 WERE INJURED
SEVERAL SEVERE SHOCKS IN
EUROPE.

City of Mexico, April flowing to the
great difficulty in establishing communi-
cation with the cities situated in the
region of the greatest devastation
wrought by the recent earthquake, details
are coming to this city very slowly. From
the latest reports it is learned that the
shocks occurred as late as noon today.
In the list of known dead. which now to-
tails fifty, and of the injured, which ap-
proSimates 300, are many names of Mexi-
cans prominent in the official and social
life of the region. So far the name OF 10
American has appeared in the measer
llst OF dead and injured as sent TO this
city.
One Of the most remarkable stories of
miraculous escapes from death in this
earthquake or perhaps in any other one
came from Santa Julia today where Sale
sianO college for children is located
When the big shock came Sunday over
le9 children were asleep in the dormitor-
les. Thirty-five, together with the teach
ers, succeeded in leaving the building
in By seeming miracle none of those
left in the ruins was seriously hurt, and
all were rescued.
In Tixtle seven people were taken from
the ruins dead today, and many injured
We're removed.
At Tuxtla eight dead and forty injured
are reported: in Ayutla nine dead and
about fifty injured.
Ia HuamiXtian the cathedral fell and
the government offices and the official
schools are in ruins.
At Techan and Tlapa nearl,- all the
houses fell in, but nobody was hurt.
In Mexico City the damage was heavier
than at first supposed. Numerous build
ings were badly shaken.

CATHOLIC PRIEST SILENCED
Father RomOlo Murri Considered Too
Free With His Criticism
and Comment.

Rome April 17.-Father Romolo Murri,
leader of the Catholic Democrats here,
has been suspended ad diviuis by the
pope for disobeying papal Instructions
regarding the behavior of the clergy.
The punishment inflicted on Father
Murri mas aroused more or less excite
ment, principally among the liberal Cath
olics. Father Murri'S offense consisted
of severe criticism of the action Of the
church i'm Italy. as we'll as comment on
the French situation, especially the Mon
tagnini documents
The suspension means that Father Muir

administer and enjoy the fruits of his
ministry.

DIVERGENT OPINIONS.
Colonial Premiers Wide Apart in i'm
portant Matter,

London. April ian official abstract
of yesterdays proceedings Of the colonial
premiers gives no idea Of the trend of
the discussion or the attitude of the diff
ferent premiers on the matter under dis
cussion. which was a proposal to estab-
lish an imperial council, with a perma-
nent secretary instead of the present sys-
tenn of periodical conferences.
Several of the morning papers protest
against this official secrecy. notably the
Morning Post. which attributes il Ia a
desire on the part Of colonial office to
block any attempts 10 make the confer
ence permanent, and insinuates that Sir
NYilfrid LauTier. the premier of Canada
5n secOnding the colonial office i'm this
endeavoI.
From unofficial sources il is learned
that while New Zealand and Cape Colony
support the Australian proposal to make
the conference permanent, Canada and
the Transvaal oppose the creation of any
imperial body which could usurp the
functions of the governments of the self
governing colonies. and that the discus
sion was adjourned to enable Lord Elgin
secretary of state for the colonies, to
draft some sort of compromise between
the conflicting views. 1t may be taken
for granted that the conference will not
approve the creation Of a permanent
council having any executive or admins
ira tive powers
