Will MAKE. THE
kICkERS DANCE
House Tariff Committee Will
Ask Power to Summon
Witnesses
This Is Aimed at Those
Who Have Criticised
Its Style

Washington, D. c., Nov. 30.-Deter-
mined to bring before it those who
have criticised the hearings on the
proposed revision of the tariff. and
satisfied that there is much import
ant information to be obtained before
the framing of an impartial tariff bill
can be undertaken, the ways and
means committee of the house will
request congress to authorize the
committee to subpoena witnesses to
appear at supplementary hearings on
the tariff revision.
While the committee has been hold
ing sessions which have lasted late
into the night, and although witness
es have In cases been unrestricted
as to time for the presentation of
arguments, much time has been vast
ed and too frequently but one side

committee, Witnesses have been in
many cases entirely unpEepared to
furnish the committee with adequate
information as to comparative cost OF
labor in this country and abroad.

Archb0ld Intimates Balance
of Trade Would Leave
u. S. Otherwise

New York, Nov. 30--The develop
ment of the trade OF the Standard
Oil company in foreign fields as a
subject of evidence in the govern
ment's suit to dissolve the oil COM
pany gave John D.. Archbold, vice
president, of the Standard Oil COM
pany, at the opening as a witness to-
day to spread upon the records some
interesting features of the Standards S
business in foreign countries.
OF the total amount of Illuminating
oil refined by the Standard in 1908,
Mr.. Archbold stated that So per cent
was sold abroad. Export figures of
other years further showed that the
Standard exported the major bulk of
its illuminating oil.
The line of testimony with regard
to this immense trade indicates that
one of the defenses of the Standard
is that the present commission makes
it possible to obtain foreign trade
which the company will endeavor to
show, brings trade balance in ia
vor OF the United States. This fore
Ign business, Mr.. Archbold went on
to say, was secured in the face of the
competition of four hundred foreign
companies. Mr.. Archbold said that
products of the Standard reach every
part of the world and further de-
clared that it was the aim of the
company to reach direct every con-
sumer in the far east, as is done in
this country.
Testimony was given by Mr.. Arch
bold that during the period Of the
Standard Oil trust the trustees pour
ed millions of the company's earn
ings back into the trust for the con-
struction of new refneries and pipe
lines.

otherwise she will go on down the
main line and come here by the SOU
sthern route.
No trains were sent out from this
city yesterday and none came in. But
today trains will be started both
WAYS. The north bound train will
leave, about 5 a. m, preceded by a
Congdon plow, followed by a freight
engine and then the passenger train.
The south bound train from Minot
will start with a like outfit and 1t
is expected they will get through all
right but possibly a little late. The
same tactics will be adopted on the
line south, the train leaving on time
and will meet the north bound Bis
ynarck train on the road with similar
equipment.
There are a great many deep cuts
on the Bismarck branch which makes
the presence Of a rotary imperative
on the line, and now that the 500

Port au Prince, Nov. 30. Every
hour brings the. evolutionary army
nearer to Port au Prince, and feel
ing of impending disaster has taken
possession of the people. The adj
vance guard of General Antino si-2
mons forces is now not more than
25 or 80 miles from this city and up
to the present time the insurgents.
have swept all before them.
@ The government losses at Anse a
Veau Friday and the route Of the
loyal troops have caused consterna-
tion among the officials of the gov
ernment with possibly the sole ex-
ception of President Nord Alexis. Ev-
cry effort to have him take himself
out of the country has proved a fall
ure, and the aged president, who
has faced many revolutions before,
announced his determination to fight
to the last. 1T may be- that President
Alexis feels the confidence he ex-
pressed in his ability to check the
advancing army Of revolution, but
the residents Of Port au Prince Ger
tainly are not of the same MIND.
Many of them are panic stricken and
the great majority of natives have
closed and shuttered their stores and
business houses, and have put bars
3 across the doors and windows of
I their residences. 3.3- HI
There is an excited feeling among
foreigners, notwithstanding the pres
ence in the harbor of the Warships
Of the United Staets and France,
from which forces unquestionably
will be landed il the insurgents sue
ceed in passing the gates Of the city,
or at the first sign of disorder and
pilIage.
Flags of different nations are fly
{ ing from homes Of many foreign res
idents, the markets are deserted and
/ the country people, upon whom the
city depends for its subsistence, have
fed precipately and refuse to return.
The situation has become SO grave
that an official proclamation has
been Issued conyoking the chambers
in extraordinary session so that mea-
snres may be taken to preserve the
government. or, at least, to affect q
compromise with the revolutionary
leaders.
There was great fear tonight that
the disaffected body Of Haitiens in
this city might take up arms for the
overthrow Of the government, which,
however, being forecasted, had taken
precautions against this happening.
President Alexis, suspecting the 10y
atty of General Camae. the chief Of
police. has sent him out on special
mission, while General Nav. who also
IS one of the chief police officials, has
been replaced by General Syachinthe
for the same reason.

Safe

Along the ridge of grass the
fugitive tore. Urged on by the
cries and clamor of the mob be-
hind he rushed on, on with the
speed of a frightened deer. His
eyes bulged and his breath gasp

fixed on. little object some dis
lance ahead; an object which,
like life-buoy, danced before
his eager eyes and bobbed I'M
easily on the shining surface at
the edge of the sward. Once
having gained this the pursued
man knew he was safel
So, steadily on toward this he
tore. CHANGING neither to the
right nor to the left, but always
straight ahead, he at last gained
the edge of the grassy ridge,
sprang off into the air, and, with
a gasp, plunged downward.
For moment there was ter
rible stiffness behind. Then, as
his unkempt head rose above the
little white object out beyond,
the cries again burst forth. In
this bowling mob the poor devil
had friends as well as enemies !;
for, as he reached out and clutch
ed the life-saving object, many
seemed transported with Joy, the
others, with chagrin. But hor-
rors! A pursuer plunged down
after him and dealt him saw
age blow with a blunt object,
Again the mixed cries rent the
air.
Scores, of importuning arms
were thrust out from those above

Then the official quickly raised

up.
