ONE MORE JURYMAN
 FOR CALHOUN TRIAL
The Thirteenth Will Probably Be Passed Today and Then the Tes-
 timony Will Begin.

San Francisco. April 13.-Already as sured of a place unique in the annals of California criminal jurisprudence, the trial of Patrick Calhoun made a great stride toward completion today. The twelfth juror was sworn to try the case and when the hour of ad- journment was reached, the attorneys were engaged in an honest effort to discover a thirteenth talesman free from disqualifying opinions and be- liefs.
 There is a possibility that the al- ternate juror, who will hold himself in readiness to serve if a member of the original panel is disqualified, will be selected tomorrow, in which event the taking of testimony will begin on Thursday.
 Thirteen weeks have elapsed since Calhoun appeared in court to answer the first of seventeen indictments, charging him with complicity in the tangled scandals charged against the municipal administration headed by Mayor D. E. Sehmitz and Abe Ruef. During that time sixty-two days have

OCCASION 0F FAULT FINDING
An Attack Upon Republican Tariff Legislation and Ex- travagance--Senator Cham berlain of Oregon Exalts Direct Primary Principle.

New York. April 13.-'Reductions in the tariff legislation form nothing but a mockery of the demand Tor relief asserted Governor JudsOn Harmon of Ohio in an address tonight at the an- nual dinner of the national democratic clubs at the Hotel Savoy He insisted that relief never would be had unless under a congress and an executive fol- lowing the Jeffersonian rule and treating taxes as a means of public revenue and not of private gain.
 Governor Harmon protested strong ly against what he termed the grow ing encroachment of special privileges at Washington, insisting that the steady tendency since the civil war has been to exalt the federal govern ment at the expense of the state. one result being the neglect of economy and the authorization of the govern ment into extravagant enterprises. He instanced the action of the last congress in appropriating two billions of dollars and raising the salaries of officials in the face of a growing short age.
 Governor Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana was another speaker. He de- clared that the general welfare clause of the federal constitution had been perverted. distorted and made the mother of evils untold" Governor Marshall said the present tariff re- vision did not indicate an effort so to adjust the schedules that revenue would be raised.
 At the guest table were Governors Harmon and Marshall. Senator Cham berlain, State Senator Grady. John Fox. the clubs president, Richard Croker. Alton B. Parker. Charles F. Murphy. leader of Tammany hall. for mer State Supreme Court Justices Morgan J. O'Brien and D. Cady Her rick. Governor Johnson of Minnesota and W. J. Bryan sent regrets.

ONLY 4 BLIND SAYS HOUSE
Bill Will Not Be Returned to Lower Branch For Correc. ton of Petroleum Sched- ule For the Senate Will Attend to That Matter.

Washington. April 13.-In the house the statement that the Aldrich amendments to the Payne bill tend to increase duties on luxuries and re- duce them on necessities is taken members of the ways and means committee pointed out today what they regarded as inconsistencies in that line of reasoning. It is pointed out that the necessities reduced by the senate committee were spices and cocoa, which the ways and means committee made dutiable, for revenue purposes On the other hand duties on corn, wheat, barley, rye and other agricultural products, many of which are used on the breakfast table had been greatly in creased.
 While increased duties on cheap gloves and hosiery had been taken off by the senate finance committee the general opinion in the house is that the amendment to restore the Dingley rates is intended partly for use in the conference. In other words, it is regarded as being design ed for trading purposes. Several other changes made by the senate committee are interpreted in the house to be for the purpose of ob- taining satisfactory compromises when the bill is in conference.
 Representatives of New York and others who want protection for pe- troleum are actively engaged in i'm pressing the members of the senate with their views. The provision placed in the bill by the senate com mittee imposing a duty of thirty-five per cent ad valorem upon foreign built yachts and pleasure boats purchased by American citizens is held by mem bers of the ways and means com mittee to be unconstitutional We devoted an entire day to the discus sion of such a duty" said one of the prominent republican members, and decided that it was not for us to propose such action. The supreme court of the United States has de- cided that a yacht can not be i'm ported and therefore we decided not to include such a provision in the bill"
 Before the senate meets on Thurs day there will be a session of the fi- nance committee to determine wheth- CT the minority members will be ready to take up the general debate on the tariff bill that day. From an informal discussion between re- publican and democratic members, it is believed the minority will ask for an extension of time until next Mon day This request will be granted by the republican leaders.
 The message from the house asking that the Payne bill be returned for the correction of the petroleum schedule will be received Thursday. Tn view of the fact, however, that the bill has been referred to the fi- nance committee. amended and re- ported back to the senate, it is not likely that the bill will be permitted to go back to the house. The senate leaders take the position that there is no necessity for the return of the blIl to the house as the finance com mittee intends to offer amendments to the petroleum schedule that will efface the error.

A New Ministry Is Being Formed and Sultan Issues a Proclamation Pardoning the Soldiers Who Brought the Change About.

Constantinople. April 1S.-The troops of the garrison made violent demonstration today before the par liament building against the commit tee on union and progress, and the government. They demanded the dis missal of the grand vizier, Hilmi Pasha, the minister of war, and the president of the chamber.

on any one approaching the building and during the course of the day a number of persons were killed or wounded.
 The deputies were escorted to the chamber in order that they might vote on the question of forcing a new cabinet and appointing a new president, but owing to the Easter holidays it was impossible to form a quorum. Deputy Emir Arslan was killed on his way to the house in mistake for Hussein Jahid. Reports place the number of dead as high as seventeen and the wounded at thirty three or more.
 There is a report current that the minister of justice, Refik Pasha, has been murdered; that the minister of marine has been wounded and the minister of war captured by the mu- tineers.
 The cabinet met at the Porte and after a long conference the ministers sent in their resignations. A new ministry is being formed tonight. The latest rumor is that Tewfik Pasha, who was recently appointed ambas- Sador to Great Britain, will be the new grand vizier, with Edham Pasha, minister of war. Edham Pasha was Turkish commander in the Greek war and as he proceeded from the Yildiz Kiosk to stamboul he was greeted with cheers by the troops.
 The sultan's principal secretary read to the chamber an trade an nouncing that the sultan had accepted the resignation of the cabinet and that a new ministry was being form ed. Measures had been taken, the trade announced that the nutritious troops had been pardoned and that they could return to their barracks and the people to their occupations. The trade was received with enthu- siastic cheers for the sultan.
