TARIFF IS AGAIN ABSOLVED

Prices of wood Pulp and Print
Paper, Report VIII Say.

Whether the House committee. which
has for the past few weeks been investi-
eating the cost 10 publishers Of print
paper and wood pulp. Will make any
recommendations for Congressional acton
has not yet been determined.
The report Of the committee. however.
which will probably be made to the House
to-day. will show II is understood. that
no evidence Of any paper trust has been
produced, nor has any testimony been
forthcoming TO show that the tariff is
responsible for the high rates on the two
commodities mentioned.
The high price of paper and wood pulp
which nave worked a hardship on many
publishers recently the committee has
decided. are due not to a combination ir
restraint OF trade. but TO the increased
cost Of pulp wood. and the increase in
wages accompanying the high tide Of
the prosperity OF the last year
The report will show, it Is understood.
that within a comparatively short time
the price Of print paper has fallen, owing
20 the financial depression. the consequent
loss Of advertising carried in newspapers,
and the incidental reduction Of the
amount OF paper necessary.
The report IS now in the hands of the
printer. and will likely be made public
to-day The tariff Is not blamed AZ all
for the high prices.

the White House yesterday morning. The
conference was hurried for the reason
that Mr.. Taft desired to answer the tele-
gram with the least possible delay, and
for the further reason that the President
was preparing 20 attend a wedding.
Mr.. Taft went over to the White House
from the War Department shortly before
II o'clock, and Il was only a few minutes
later that he emerged from the Presi-
dents Office with Senator Scott, Of West
Virginia.
Mr. Taft told the newspaper men that
he was going over 70 his Office and that
in the course OF half an hour he would be
prepared TO make public his telegram to
Mr.. Bryan.
Chandler Again Is CHustic.
Former Senator Chandler. who had been
pounding away for two or three weeks TO
get Senator Burrows 10 make public his
letter from Secretary Taft. wrote another
letter 10 Mr.. Burrows last night, In which
he indulges in some sarcastic comment at
Mr.. Tafrs expense. Better late than
never" says Mr.. Chandler, who calls at
tention 20 the fact that It was not until
March 19. nineteen days after his letter to
Mr.. Burrows. that Mr.. TAFT said publicly
that he hoped such a bill would pass,
"omitting 10 note" remarks Mr.. Chand-
Ter, that this was said under a certain
amount Of pressure"
Mr.. Chandler has these things to say
also TO Mr. Burrows;
Secretary Taft has certainly done you
much honor by assuming that you are
not only Senator and chairman. bu- also
the whole committee-the Senate. the
Congress. and the people. so that to in
fuence them an he needs only to com
munIcate with you privately.
His desire, II Il had been stated pub
licly 10 them all on April 80. would in my
opinion. have caused the passage OF the
bill Was II withheld in order that after
the bill should be siiothered, the letter
might be produced In the campaign In

Queer Reason for Privacy.
The reason the Secretary gives for
privacy is absolutely unintelligible Is
there any subject Of public and political
interest upon which. either in writing or
public speech. he has failed to exercise
the right to assume an attitude during
the last few months2 I know Of none.

URGES FORMAL ALLIANCE.

NOEuAaA entente EXTENDED.
Paris, May 26.-Enthuslasm over the
Anglo-French friendship, to which the
demonstrative reception accorded Presi-
dent Faillieres in London has given a
great impetus. has led to much talk and
to some advocacy of converting the en-
tente between the two countries into
formal alliance
The most notable contribution to the
discussion is an article in to-nlght's
Temps which. owing to the influential
status Of that newspaper, attracts con-
siderable attention.
The Temps urges that II the speeches
made at the state banquet given by King
Edward 10 President FailHeres at Buck
ingham Palace last night mean anything.
they foreshadow the substitution of
formal treaty for the moral accord estab-
lished in 1901, and IL holds that with Rus
sia's recent reconciliation with Great Brit
ain. one Of the greatest objections to an
alliance with Great Britain has disap-
peared.

were letting loose. nor the analogy by
which they were establishing the position
Of yellow and hybrid races that would

The people OF San Francisco may some
day have cause to regret that q yellow
