THE FAULT FINDERS
 ID BE BROUGHT IN
Congress Will Be Asked To Force the Tariff Revision Critics To Come Be- fore the Committee.

Washington. Nov. 3O.-Determined to bring before it those who have crit icised the hearings on the revision tariff bill and from whom much inn portant information is to be obtained before the framing of an impartial tariff bill could be undertaken, the ways and means committee of the house will request congress to author ize it to subpoena witnesses to appear at the supplementary hearings.
 J. W. Van Cleave. president of the National Association of Manufacturers and V. H. Miles. chairman of the tar fir committee of the same organiza- ton, have frequently attacked the methods used by the committee.
 Chairman Payne strongly resented the attack and his reqeust to congress for the right to subpoena witnesses is understood to be directed mainly at Van Cleave and Miles who have not appeared despite special invitations.
 Everett Ames, of Portland. Oregon, a burlap manufacturer, said the Pa cific coast manufacturers needed a great differcntial so as to compete with the Calcutta burlap bag. Since the passage of the Dingley law he eX- plained the cost of his labor has in creased 20 to 30 per cent on the coast and machines have been introduced in the manufacture of burlap in Calcutta.
 John Boyd of New York asked that the higher protected Chinese, Japan csc and India straw mattings be brought in at a duty of three cents or the same as the cbeaDer grades The committee held no session tonight.

 EXCHANGED Last FormaIity in the Agree
 ment With Japan NOT A BINDING EFFECT
It is a Mere Declaration, Ex- pected to Produce Better Understanding Among all Parties Which Have Inter- ests In the Far East.

Washington. Nov. 30.-Secretary of
 State Elihu Root, on behalf Of the
 United States, and Kogora Takahira (ambassador on behalf of Japan, short
 ly after o'clock this afternoon ex- changed diplomatic notes defining the
 policy o1 the two governments in the | far east.
 The actual ceremony of the excange
 was very brief, Secretary Root hand ing the ambassador a note which bore his signature and the ambassador giv- ing MT Root a paper defining Japan's policy and bearing his signature. As sistant Secretary Bacon, second assis- tant Of the embassy, Masno Hanihara, and Mir. BabcOck, MT. Roots private secretary, were the witnesses. After an informal exchange of felicitatiOns the ambassador and his secretary left. The full purport of the notes has al ready been set forth in Associate Press dispatches. They will be made public simultaneously tomorrow in the United
 
 publication in both countries on We'd nesday morning.
 The exchange of notes is based on the idea of encouraging and defending free and peaceful commercial develop ment in the Pacific and to this the sig inatOry parties have prepared a series of articles expressing their intention. Legislative action by the senate is unnecessary and a declaration of the exchange of notes will not have to be ratified by that body. The declaration is not a treaty, simply a reaffirmation of what both Japan and the United Estates have stood for in China and the far east generally,
 It has no legal standing, but it's greatest benefit will be that derived from the moral fleet it will exercise
 on future diplomacy governing the farJ east In this respect it has been liken-
 ed to the Monroe Doctrine in American history.

 Have Preserved the Trade Balance.

New York, Nov. 3O.-The develop ment of the Standard oil company's trade in foreign fields as a subject ~f evidence in the governments suit to dissolve the oil combination gave John D. Archbold, the vice president, an op- portunity as a witness. to spread upon the record some interesting facts.
 Of the total amount of Illuminating oil refined by the Standard oil in 1906. Archbold stated sixty-three per cent was sold abroad The export figures of other years further showed that the Standard had exported a major portion of it's Illuminating oil
 The line of testimony in regard to the immense foreign trade. indicates that one defense by the Standard Oil will be it's foreign trade which the company will endeavor to show, brings a trade balance in favor of the United States.
 This business, Archbold went on to say. was secured in the face of cem- petition with 400 foreign companies. Archbold said that the products of the Standard reaches every part of the world and he further declared that the aim of the company was to reach directly every consumer in the far east, as in this country.
 The testimony given by Archbold showed during that period of the Standard Oil trust the trustees have poured millions of dollars of the com pany's earnings back into the con- struction of new refineries and pipe lines

STATE OF INDECIsION
 ON THE STOCK MARKET
There Were Heavy Movements Which
 Offset Each Other.

New York, Nov 30.-Indecision marked speculative sentiment in the stock market today The price move ment "as extraordinarily maintained and conflicting movements seemed to be so nearly balanced in power that neither was able to prevail. The most conspicuous of the opposing movements today were those in St. Paul and Steel. St. Paul showed az gressive strength at different times. on the other hand there was a persis- tent selling of steel, some individual transactions being of enormous volume.
 The usual market leaders. including the Hartman Pacifics, the Hill stocks, Amalgamated Copper, American Smel- ting and Reading were inclined to move in company with steel.

A SPECIAL SESSION
So Alarming Has the Haytien Situa-
 ton Become.

Port Au Prince. Nov. 30.-The sit uation has become so grave that an official proclamation has been issued convoking the chambers in eXtraordi- nary session that measures may be taken to preserve the government. or at least to effect a compromise with the revolutionary leaders.
 There was great fear tonight that a disgruntled body of Haytiens in the city might take up arms for the over throw of the government which, how ever. had taken precautions against such a happening. President Alexis suspecting the loyalty of General Ca meau, chief of police, sent him out on a special mission, while General Nau, who is one of the chief of po- lice's officials. has been replaced by General Hyacinthe for the same req son.
 It is not expected that General Simon's force will reach the cross roads until Wednesday.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-The United States has no present intention of in terfering in Haytien affairs. The statement is made on the best au- thority The situation in the island is an internal one, and as far as is known here it has to deal entirely with the people.
 The Haytien situation is not com plicated by the work of the "Emi- grades" which obtains so frequently in Central American revolutions. President Nord Alexis has been in power for number of years and for the time being at least. there is no ground for American intervention.

SWEEPING REVISION
 OF POSTAL SERVICE
A Plan to Take the Management Out of Politics.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The four of
 fees of assistant postmaster general will be abolished, a director of posts with seven assistants will be pro vided for and the entire postal ser
 vice of the United States will be divided into fifteen separate districts. if the bill for a revision of the postal laws which is being prepared by the joint postal investigation commission appointed two years ago, be passed by congress. It is claimed that a direc- tor of posts. appointed to hold office until removed for cause will tend to improve the service through a con

tinuity of policies for the benefit of the service.
 By providing for seven assistants the disadvantages due to frequent changes and the appointment of inex- perienced men to the four offices of assistant postmaster general can, it is believed. be obviated. The assist ant directors are to hold office during good behavior.
 To perfect a system of manage ment. provision for fifteen superin- tendents to have. direct charge of the fifteen separate postal districts has been decided upon.

HaydGn Rebels are Within

American and French War ships Prepared<o see That Revolution Does Not go Be yond the Bounds of Good Order in Port au Prince.

Port au Prince. Nov. 3O.-The vic torious rebels under General Simon are advancing rapidly on the capital and the people of Port au Prince are in a condition bordering on a panic If the rebels succeed in making their way into Port au Prince, it is feared they will get out of hand and loot the city. According to latest reports by courier, the rebels reached Leo gnne today. which is twenty miles west of Port au Prince.
 General Simon has addressed a proclamation to the people of Hayti and the Hayticn army, in which he said the people in the southern sec tion of the republic are tired of being governed as they have been for the last six years. He described the ad- ministration of President Alexis as being in the hands of liars and eXecu- tioners. The president himself, he characterizes as an old man without a conscience. He sets forth that it is his desire to rescue the country from this tyrant and permit the people freely to choose a new president
 General Tancrede Augusta, minister of the interior, resigned his position today. He is of the opinion that nothing could be gained by President Alexis leaving the country; that his departure would not have the effect of putting an end to the fighting.
 General Augusta this morning con- firmed the statement made by Pres ident Alexis to American Minister Furniss of the diplomatic corps, that the president insisted upon fighting to a finish. The morale of the gov ernment troops is distinctly base. They cannot be counted on and are deserting to the enemy.
