MAY OUTLINE POLICIES
FIRST CABINET MEETING.
Members Look for Expression OF
Presidents ViezcS TO-mOrrO1C.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, March. members of the Taft
Cabinet looking forward with the utmost IN
terest to their first meeting with the President at
the Cabinet table next Tuesday, as they expect
that the President will ,hen outline TO some extent
the policies which he expects each TO devote MN
self to in his respective department. Of course At
torney General Wickersham and Secretary Nagel
always realize that of the important ends TO
which the President wishes them TO work Is the
perfecting OF q system whereby work in their re-
spectiye departments be materially simphned
and co-ordinated at those points at which they
touch and along lines indicated in these dispatches
in to-days Tribune
Secretary Nagel already has decided that Of
the most difficult subjects with which he will have
to deal Is that of immigration. The most cursory
examination has shown him that this phase of the
work has always proved thorn in the flesh to his
predecessors. and was even when 1t was In the
Treasury Department, before the Department of
Commerce and Labor was created. Mr.. Nagel is
convinced that the best interests of the country
best be subserved by the promotion of the
widest distribution Of the thousands of immigrants
who come annually to American ports, and he viii
devote considerable time studying how this can be
effected. AS lawyer he has however, some doubt
TO the legality of the government acting as
sort of national employment agency.
There is point which the President has al
ready made clear to all members of his Cabinet
and that is that ne wishes them to seek to effect
every desired end with the least possible alteration
of the statutes. He Is opposed to wholesale
changes in the law that ne has 1ntiHnateu 10 theL
that ne expects them to exhaust every phase OF
their ingenuity before they propose to him any
such recommendation. OF course, when they find
that changes of the law absolutely essential
they viii find the President ready to make neces-
sary recommendations to Congress.
Franklin MacNeagh, Secretary of the Treasury,
reached Washington this evening, although his
train was SO late he had t. cancel some social en-
ga gements he had made. Mr.. MacNeagh expects
TO take the oath Of office tomorrow morning after
which he will have long conference with his
predecessor, Mr.. COrtelyOu-
Attorney General Wickersham is here and has
invited the Washington correspondents to call on
him at 2 o'clock tomorrow.

FRENCH TARIFF DEBATE.
Senate to Open Discussion of Re
UisiOn This Week.

Paris, March THE debate on the proposed
general revision of the tariff of 1892. which has
aroused a storm of opposition at home and
abroad. will open in the Senate this week, and
promises to be bitter and protracted- The stu
alton is analogous to that in Germany following
the impetus given TO agriculture by the adop-
tion OF protective system.
The tariff of 1892 was framed primarily in the
interest of French agriculturists. and having
brought them prosperity and turned a deficit in
agricultural products into surplus. the manu-
facturers are now claiming their share. They
have waged a successful campaign before the
parliamentary commission, having gained the
aid Of many workmen's organizations which
found that the payment of duties by the rich
would relieve them of some of the burdens Of
taxation.
Foreign opposition to the revision was accom-
panied in some cases by unveiled threats Of re-
taliation The United States. through the EN-
bassy here. made formal representations against
the proposed increases in the duty on cotton,
corn and oils England and other countries
strongly opposed other schedules. The French
government realizing the danger of tariff wars,
formally refused 10 accept the oeaginous oil,
textile metal and machinery schedules. The
French chambers OF commerce, in fear OF the
effect on foreign commerce. supported the gov
ernment in opposing the scheme arranged by
the commission and the political economy So
cieties ike that of which Pierre Paul Leroy
Beaulieu is president have been campaigning
against it in the interest of the general con-
SINNER. who is crying out against the continual
increosed cost of living.
