that Russia and France had proposed
joint Intervention in behalf of the Beers
against England Other remarks were
interpreted as yelled threats against
Japan. The publication OF this interview,
without the knowledge of the German
ministry, led Chancellor Won Buelow to
hand in his resignation to the Kaiser,
ard came near frustrating the plans of
tile powers for the Balkan and Casa
l5lanca conferences On the heels of
THESE complications the German people
were alarmed to hear that the Emperor
had given some more interviews to the
Century Magazine The cables were kept
hot by messages between the German for
eign office and their diplomatic represen-
tatives here.
The euthor of the interviews is said to
be in Chicago Pressure was brought to
bear upon him and Richard Watson cid
err editor of the Century. Not only Ger
many and the powers, but the foreign
houses were concerned Tonight the Cen
tury company sent out the following
statement
"The Century company states that the
article on the German Emperor by Mr..
William Bayard Hale has been withdrawn
by the author, he feeling that it would be
improper for him to proceed with the
publication in view of recent circum-
stances"

This highly interesting article was in

THE TARIFF WILL NOT BE
REVISED THIS WINTER

Washington, November 7.-(Special.)-
Serene e. Payne, chairman of the House
committee ON ways and means, which will
frame the tariff laws, stated emphatical-
cally today that no attempt would he
made to revise the tariff at the regular
session of Congress this winter.
Representative Payne conferred with
the President some time this morning and
their views evidently conceded as to
making no attempt at revision at the
winter session.
II presume" said Mr.. Payne, that Mr..
Taft win issue the call for an extraordi-
nary session a soon as he is inaugura ted.
President Mckinley gave Congress about
ten days to get here after his call for
the same purpose in 1897 and the new law
passed and went into effect in something
over four months afterward. 1t ought
to be possible to get the proposed new
law into effect in less time than that
next year. A great deal of advance work

Some of the counties did not complete

out of lost mines once worked for fabulous

The breaking point of the enterprising
Mutual Troust company came when 1t was
discovered that the bonanza which was
paying such fabulous returns consisted
of hole in the ground about so feet long

eIaantIe Canadian strIke.

Winnipeg, Man,-Union shopmen
employed by the Canadian Pacific
railway Aug. 5 struck in all shops on
the system from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and all shops are idle.
II Is estimated that $4,000 men went
out, the largest number being 5000 in
Montreal. Fifteen hundred quit
work at Winnipeg, Two thousand
men left work between Fort William
and Vancouver, all at the dictates of
the executive committee of the various
unions affected Even old workmen
in line for pensions went home, and 1t
seems to be the most extensive strike
in the history of railway shops in Can
ada.
All the workmen employed around
the trainsheds at stations went out,
and conductors and engineers caused
some delay of trains by insisting that
trains be properly made up before they
would take them out
In the afternoon the men gathered
at their halls to appoint committees to
carry on the strike. 1t was decided
not to appoint piclSets at present. 1t
is known however, that the company
has several hundred old-country me-
chanics in reserve who will be brought
to the scene of action at once.
The railway officials view of the sit
uation is that the finding of concil-
iatory board, appointed at the request
of the men, should be binding on the
men The Canadian Pacific not only
did not seek arbitration, but, believing
the board to be hostile to the COM
pany, withdrew its representative,
and the government appointed another
arbitrator to represent the company.
Despite these facts. the boards find
ing was accepted by the Canadian Pa
cific under protest, and the company's
officers are surprised at the refusal OF
the men to acquiesce.
