at Palmi. Three hundred OF the sol

Italy, to Messina and Reggie has
aroused widespread enthusiasm.
In spite of the universal mourning
and distress the soyereigns were sa-

TARIFF ON LITERATURE
AND ART-WORKS SCORED.
Language Association Wants
Foreign Tongues Better Taught,

PRINCETON, Dec. 31.-The annua
convention of the Modern Language
Association of America closed yester.
day afternoon with the adoption oil
three resolutions. The most important
of the three follows:
That the Modern Language Asso-
citation of America, representing the
scholars and teachers of the mod
ern languages and literature in the
schools and colleges of the United
States. believing that the present
tariff laws, with their import duties
upon works of art, books printed in
foreign countries and scientific ap-
paratus, impose an unjust burden
upon scientific work in this country
and act as an obstacle to the adj
vancement of learning and general
culture, while accomplishing little
as regards the end for which such
laws are framed, respectfully petit
ton the Congress of the United
States in the proposed revision of
the tariff laws, to remove the exist
ing duties upon works of art and
their reproductions, including photo
graphs, upon all books printed in
foreign countries and upon scientific
instruments intended for the private
use of Investigators.
Another resolution expressed the
sense of the association that it is de-
sirable to estabiish-a-test in-prepuneia
ton and ability to understand a for
eign language as part of a college en-
examination.
