SENIOR SEBALLOS
ON SHIP SUBSIDY
Is Disappointed at Failure of
American Bill
QUOTES SOME FIGURES
Former Argentina Minister to the
United States Points Out Ad-
vantaees of Mutual Com
mercial Relations.
QUOTES SOME FIGURES

Buenos Aires, March 1O.-Senor Seballos,
minister of foreign affairs and former
minister to the United States, in an inter-
view this afternoon concerning the fail
ure of the ship subsidy bill to pass at the
recent session of the United States Con-
gress. expressed his great disappointment
at the fate of the bill and the conviction
that the interests of both countries de-
mand measures for the extension of COM
merce which, with better ocean communi-
cation, would develop enormously.
Senor Seballos pointed out that legisla-
tion had been enacted long ago granting
a subvention of 100000 annually for
steamers performing a regular service
between Argentina and the United States
and the Argentine government, he said,
was prepared to make tariff concessions
where these We're possible for the purpose
of facilitating commercial intercourse.
The minister added that even as far
back as the time when he was accredited
to Washington he had a lengthy confer
ence with President Cleveland in which
ne made similar proposals on reciprocal
lines.
In proof of the advantages to be de-
rived by the measure Senior Sebalos
quoted official figures showing that Ar
gentina's imports from the United States
had increased progressively from $13 000. coo
in 1860 to nearly s40,O000O0 in 1906, and her
exports to the United States from $70O0,-
600 in 1900 to over 100000 gold in 1906.
Senior Seballos said that he was conf
dent that when the trade possibilities be-
tween the two republics were understood
In the United States the American Con-
gress would the desirabiity of mu-
tual commercial relations, the balance be-
ing always largely in favor of that coun-
try. The minister thought it would be
matter for deep regret If the splendid
effects of the memorable visit and de-
claratons of Secretary of State Root
should be minimized by apparent indif-
ference as to the commercial policy
while beneficial to Argentina. would he
doubly SO to the United States.

OGRAPHER.

New York. March 10.-Delphin NJ. Del

communicated with his client today
through his confidential stenographer,
who was admitted to the Tombs early in
the day.
The young woman said that she had
come from Mr.. Delmas, who was spending
the day at Atlantic City, and after being
identified by Warden Flynn. was es-
corted to the second tier. where she
taxed for some time with Thaw outside
the gate.
Upon receiving the message, the pris-

Of Thaw turned his attention to let
ter from his mother, which had been
brought to the Tombs by josiah Thaw' S
chauffeur.
For forty-fve minutes Thaw was en-
gagged in answering his mothers let
ter and some time later devoted nearly
an hour to replying to letter which.
in the meantime, had arrived from his
wife.
In the afternoon Mr.. O'Reiny of Mr..
Thaw's counsel, called. Upon leaving, the
attorney said that he had found the
prisoner in pretty good spirits.' Thaw

Convicted United States Senator Will

Washington, March 10.-(Special "A
series of changes in the consular service
of the government is likely to be made
In the near future under the application
of the new law governing this service
There are a number of vacancies, some
of them at posts of considerable import
ance. These must be filled under the pres
ent regular ones by promoting men al
ready in lower grades of the service.
Thus the consular organization has been
made strictly civil service establish
ment.
In the lowest grades admittancc
can be secured only on competitive exam
ination, and from them to the higher po-
stions and better salaries advances are
made on the basis of the records of the
men. The new plan went into effect only
last June. Secretary Root having been the
chief promoter of the legislation under
which 1t was secured.
Thus far the experiment has proved
highly satisfactory; especially has it
made strong appeal to business interests
The effort has been to give the consular
work a special and concrete value to
manufacturers and dealers in all Ameri-
can products. The consul. therefore, who
is alert and gives attention to conditions
which offer opportunity for expansion of
trade, receives important credit on the
records of the department.
A few months ago there was something
like a general shifting of posts in the
service, and since then the changes have
been few. Meanwhile several posts have
become vacant Thus the post at Seoul
became vacant some time ago by the
death of the consul. and has not been
filled. Other vacancies exist at Guade-
loupe, w. T., where a vice consul is In
charge. At Goree. Dakar, Senegal at
Saigon. Cochin China, at Nuremberg, Ba-

Normal Condition Resumed.

Paris, March 10.-The city resumed its
normal aspect tonight. All the electric
plants are working. The public is alarmed
at the ease with which few hundred
workmen at the instigaton of the Confed-
eratiol of Labor. are able to throw the
population into confusion and the news
papers print editorials demanding legis-
lation which will prevent workmen en-
gagged in supplying a public necessity,
from striking. 1t is pointed out that the
electricians. now that they know their
power, may not rest content with pres
ent conditions. 1t is pointed out as a
significant fact that the strike commits
sion Is still holding meetings.

ANOTHER CASE OF
DISTRESS Is FOUND
MAN AND WIFE ARE BOTH ILL
AND ALONE AND ARE IN NEED
OF THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE
(lN STEWART BUILDING.)

On the third floor of the Stewart build
ing, Avenue and Twenty-frst street,
can be found a chapter out of real life
that reads not unlike the romancist's idea
of suffering and want. For five months
the man and wife have been i'll, too ill
to put their hands to labor. They have
no food, no medical attention, no COM
forters, nothing but themselves and their
misery.
The couple is Mr.. and Mrs. J. l.. Gras
and they have been tended by minister
of the city. whose lone aid is insufficient.
He vouches for the need and the worthi-
ness of the couple. He suggests that the
charitable of the city carry little sun
shine into the hearts of the sufferers.
Mr.. Gras is a candymaker by trade, and
is described as a good but unfortunte
man.
