An Agreement Entered Into Affecting
 China and Other Things.

BRITISH PAPER ARGUES
The People of Great Britain Cannot do It and the Lib- eral Party Will Not Under take the Competitive Effort.

London, Nov. 27.-The Nation pub fishes today a strongly worded argu- ment against including the United States in the twO-pOwer naval stand ard for Great Britain; in other words, that the British fleet should exceed the strength of any other two powers by ten per cent.
 The paper says America and Ger many are the next two greatest naval powers after Great Britain. America. it explains, has practically to build two navies, one for the Atlantic and one for the Pacific.
 "A people of forty millions" the Nation continues, lis called upon to provide a force stronger than that levied on a hundred and forty millions of people. On this proposition we have two remarks to make;
 The first is that the people of Great Britain cannot do it. and sec Ond that the liberal party will not try to do it. They never will consent to build against America; it is hate full to liberals even to think of build ing against the United States"

THE STE|NHE|L TRAGEDY
A Belief That the Wife of the Artist is Crazy-A De- nial That She Was Present at the Death of President Faure.

Paris, Nov. 27.-Count Garlon, whose name has been mentioned in connec- tion with Mime Steinheil and at whose house in Paris Mme. Steinheil stayed for a few weeks after the murder of her husband. declared today that she was an honest and honorable woman.
 The count said however, he was con- vinced that Mme Steinheil no longer possessed her mental faculties and he characterized the story that she was present at the death of President Felix Faure as a base calumny.
 George and Denis Cochin, conserva- tive members ot the chambers of dep uties have announced their intention of interpellating the government on the attitude of the magistracy in the Stein heil case. This action is designed to trace the political side of the affair with which the newspapers are be- coming more and more occupied.
 Various new theories of the crime have been advanced since the arrest of Mime. SteinheiI and tonight there were many reports in circulation of impor- tant arrests.

AUTO RACING
 MUST STOP Roosevelt Road is Not aI)
 Association Track IA DANGEROUS BOULEVARD Speed Contests Are Not On ly Reckless on the Part of Chauffeurs but Imperil the Lives of all Travellers On That Thoroughfare.
4 DANGEROUS BOULEVARD

There will be no more automobile racing on the Roosevelt wagon road until after the construction work on the Rooseevlt dam is finished and probably none thereafter that unless special arrangements are made for clearing the road of teams on some special occasion when the road is turned over to the motorists to go as fast as they like There are two req sons for this. One is the quite i'm portant one that machines are dan gerous both to their drivers and to other travellers. The second reason is because Engineer Louis C. Hill, repre- senting the government of the United States, says so and authorizes this publication of the fact.
 The conclusion is promised on the facts given in announcing the first reason. and not through any desire to interfere with the interests of sport, for Mir. Hill drives a machine himself. However he recognizes his responsibil- ity in the protection of the public which uses the road, and especially in the protection of the freighting outfits employed in hauling supplies and con- struction materials for the dam, and for whose special use the road was constructed. Having both the respon- sibility and the authority necessary, he proposes to stop the practice The new regulation may be violated but if so the offense will scarcely be repeat ed by the same chauffeur, if it is once detected and others will naturally take warning.
 Tn further explanation of the new order Engineer Hill said it was with him merely a matter of official duty. The road was constructed for the hauling of freight and was necessary for the building of the dam, as has been demonstrated. There are from twenty to sixty big mule teams con stantly travelling the road. A speeding car may at any time meet such team at a point where the driver and per haps the entire team will be thrown over a precipice. to certain death. The same is true of wagon or carriage travellers who have as much right on the road as the autos, and who are perfectly safe except -interfered With by the latter which endanger both themselves and the others. Concerning the safety of the chauffeurs the gov ernment has no concern and if they wish to court sudden and certain death they would be privileged. to do so. were it not that where one risks his own life, he jeopardizes a score of other people who are innocent and careful It is recalled that when the road was first opened freighters re- fused to take their teams over it un- less the autos were barred. In this they were perhaps Uselessly frightened though it took some time to accustom the big teams to the machines But they are unquestionably right in pro- testing against the racing. or speeding, and willsbe protected in that right.
 Mir. Hill says he will lay down no hard and fast rule for he sees no req son for barring the automobiles from the road properly. Every sensible chauffeur can regulate his course with

There Is To Be No Further Talk of the
 Defects Of BattIeships.

Washington, Nov 27.-That there shall be no further public discussion by naval officers concerning the Newport conference without permission of the president is the purport of an order issued today by Secretary Metcalf by direction of President Roosevelt.
 On October 30. the department issued a permit to officers to discuss the work of this conference except so far as it applied to changes to be made on the ships to be authorized in the future. The president has now concluded that public discussion of the alleged de- fleets of battleships will not serve a good purpose

 We are also told" continued Lyon, that President Roosevelt promised this trust immunity from prosecu- tion so that they came out boldly and told us they would not reduce their price of production. Why our great president is following the Standard Oil company to prevent it's shipping oil a few cents cheaper than it's competitor and lets this steel trust go scot free. while stealing from the public through a robber trust, from one to two million dollars a year, is beyond my comprehension"

Demands a Reduction of Du- ty on Pig Iron--He Finds Fault With the President for Alleged Favoritism To- , ward the Steel Trust.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Sereno E. Payne. chairman of the house ways and means committee, replied today to |. letter from J. w. Van Cleave, president cf the National Association of Manufacturers, criticising the methods pursued in revising the tar if
 "Of course if -Sou have no informa- ton at your disposal which would aid the committee in the formulation of a bill, I can understand your re fusal to appear. If you have such in formation I can not see why you do not accept the invitation which has been extended to you and which is still held out to you. should you reconsider your determination, said Payne.
 In his letter Van Cleave says: "We would rather bear the ills of the Dingley tariff than to be party to tariff revision made in the old man ner. To appear before you to plead for certain schedules would be to acquiesce in the unbusiness-like methods of investigation against which we protest. We have carefully watched all statements made by you and your associates in recent years and instead of convincing us of, the error Of our ways, we are more than ever convinced that your plans of gathering information on which read justment is proposed to be based. is wrong, radically and absurdly wrong"
 MT Van Cleave sets forth his views regarding an expert non partisan tariff commission and claims that it is impossible for the ways and means committee in the limited time it has at it's disposal, to make in quiry which can furnish an adequate basis for any such tariff as the coun- try Gernands.
 There was little of interest brought ont al today's session of the com mittee. which was to finish the hear ing on the metal schedule.
 When Nelson Lyon, secretary treas urer of a company manufacturing wire articles in Tarrytown, took the stand 10 ask for a removal of the tar tiff on pig iron, Representative Griggs inquired: Are you making any mon ey?"
 "A little, but not much" He claim ed that if the entire tariff had been from pig iron during last year American manufacturers would have received $153, 100000 more than they received for their products in 1904. In that year he added that profit was made for the steel trust that does not produce unless it pro duces at a profit" MT. Lyon said the removal of the duty on pig iron would mean a reduction in cost of $500 on his output of wire articles, to S4O,O00 a year..
 How much would that reduce the price of egg beaters to consumers, for no family is complete without an egg beater?" queried Mir. Cochran.
 Well, they are very cheap now" replied Lyon.
 Would you reduce your prices s4 a tOn?" insisted MT. Cochran.
 q hope to be able to do so," re- piled Lyon.
 In his attack on the steel trust Lyon said that during the panic last fall the great President Roosevelt, who rules our land in righteousness, allowed the steel trust to turn 70

reason and if he does so he will have
 no trouble. There are places along the road where even ten or fifteen miles an hours is dangerous. At the head of some grades, ending in sharp curves, a careful chauffeur should practically come to a dead stop until he discovers that the road is clear There are some places, down on the desert end, where a chauffeur might travel forty miles an hour without danger to anybody, providing he ob- served the rule of slowing up or stop ping when he approached a team, un- til he found out whether the animals would become frightened or not. It is therefore, for the present at least left entirely to the good judgment of the chauffeurs, but they must eXer- else that good judgment. for the eX cuse that T didn't mean to-" will not avail in case of a detected offense whether anyone is hurt or not. The Roosevelt record will therefore rest where it now stands for some time, for already numerous trips have been made at a speed which was dangerous to many lives and only good fortune has prevented accidents. All past sins are forgiven and the slate wiped, but there must be no repetition of these speed records.
 It was intimated to Mir Hill that in view of the fact that one of the re- clamation officials holds the record for slow time" his critics might ac- cuse him of issuing this order as a protection to the fame of a fellow en- gineer, by discouraging contests. He denied emphatically any such motive and said that the order does not run against slow contests. One may travel over that road just as slow as he wants to-if he can.
