DIPLOMAT DIES IN LONDON.
w. I. Buchanan, Formerly Minister
to Panama, Found Senseless.

W. l. Buchanan, formerly United
States Minister to Panama, was dis
covered in an unconscious condition
at midnight Saturday in Park Lane,
London, and removed to st. Georges
Hotel, where he died shortly after
ward. He was i'll evening dress. and
it is believed his death was due to an
aporlectic stroke. Mr.. Buchanan ar
rived in London from Paris the pre-
vious Thursday, and called at the
American Embassy. He then seemed
in good health and spirits and at no
time showed any symptoms of apo
plexy.
Mr.. Buchanan is credited with be.
ing responsible for the continuation OF
the anti-Castro regime in Venezuela.
He was in London to assist in floating
bonds for Governor Gomez. Mr.. Blu
chanan has appeared in most every
important issue between the United
States and Mexican and South Ameri-
can republics for the last fifteen years.
He was the first United States Minis
ter to Panama, Minister to Argentine,
Brazil, special commissioner to Ven
ezuela, arbitrator between Chile and
Argentine, and performed half dozen
other diplomatic functions. He CO.
operated with Secretary Root in the
latter's mission to the South Ameri-
can States. Mr. Buchanan came into
notice more than twenty years ago as
the builder of the corn palace at the
Sioux City exposition.
When Castro's government was tot
tering Mr.. Buchanan was selected to
prop up the Gomez government. He
succeeded and also in bringing to a
settlement and arbitration the five
great claims of United States citizens
against VenezuelN. Mr.. Buchanan was
also prominently connected with the
preliminary, negotiations among the
Southern republics which led to the
peace conference of 1907 at Washing

Dun's Review. published by r. G.

Trading defaults exhibit some in.
crease above the normal, but a high
daily average of payments through the

progress in production and distrihu-
tion.
New demands form a notably large
aggregate for iron and steel. with
prices for foundry supplies firmer for
distant deliveries. Rolling mills have
ample contracts for steady day and

Stormy weather and the Columbus
holiday interrupted movements of com

We're quieter than in previous weeks,
but live stock arrivals gained moder-
ately and there were larger shipments
of corn and provisions. The approach
ing close of lake navigation causes
more rush for vessels to move mine and
forest products, and the freight rate
for grain to Buffalo rose to the high
est this season.
Earnings of the Chicago steam
roads sustain favorable comparison
with former high gross, and there is
much installation of new rolling stock
and planning for track extensions and
other improved facilities TO meet ex-
panding demands of transportation.
Lower temperatures stimulated
wider activity in general merchandise

THE NEW TARIFF BOARD.
Members Now Preliminarily En-
gagged on Great Work.

Washington correspondence:
The new Tariff Board is losing no
time in getting down to business. Sew
eral meetings, in a sense preliminary
in character, have already been held
at the office of the Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr. MacVeagh, who was in
directly responsible for the creation
of this important new governmental
body A little later the members of
the board will establish permanent
headquarters, and will recruit the
staff of secretaries, tariff experts and
other assistants who will be essen
tial to the handling of the immense
amount of technical detail that will
characterize the work of the commits
sion. This organization is to be per-
fected just as rapidly as possible. in
asmuch as there is tremendous
amount of work involved in the prep
aration of the report, which must be
in the hands of President Taft be-
fore March 81, 1910.
The Tariff Board was created by
the Payne tariff bill, and it will be re-
membered that authorization for this
board, which was energetically de-
manded by the President, was grant
ed by Congress only after lively
fight. Opponents of tariff revision
downward, or rather Senators and
Representatives who are strongly in
favor of high tariff, became suspicious
that the real purpose of the proposed
board was to probe the whole tariff
question and all matters pertaining
thereto, as, for instance, the compare
tive costs of production in various
countries. The effect of such research
would be to reopen the entire tariff
question and to make it continuously
a live issue before the country. This
is contrary to the wishes of certain
interests, which contend that the tar
if question was settled, for the time
being, by the Payne bill, and ought to
years.
Therefore, the high protection advo-
Gates in Congress succeeded in having
embodied in the tariff measure certain
| provisions limiting the activities of
the tariff commissioners. President
Taft has, however, publicly announced
his purpose to have his tariff inquisi-
tors probe every phase of this huge
subject.
For the first six months of its ex-
l
istence, however, the general Tariff
Board will be kept busy with what
constitutes the primary purpose of its
existence task that President Taft,
revisionists and protectionists are all
agreed must take precedence over all
other phases of their Investigations.
This undertaking is nothing less than
worldwide investigation to deter
mine what countries do and what ones
do not discriminate against the Uni
ted States in their customs duties and
other laws and regulations. The pur-
pose of this is to enable the President
to carry out the maximum and mini
mum provisions of the new tariff law.

TAFT AND DIA!z MEET
| AMID GREAT SPLENDOR
Great Pomp and Ceremony Mark
Exchange of Courtesies on
Both Sides of Border.
THEY CONVERSE IN PRIVATE
Each Ruler Is Host to Accompani-
ment of Booming Guns and
Clapking of Sabers.

Pomp and pageantry, the boom of
cannon. the blare of trumpets, che
clanking of sabers, the glitter of daz
zling uniforms-these formed the set
ting Saturday for the long-awaited
meeting between President Taft and
President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico, the
executive heads of Americas two
greatest republics.
1t was a dramatic moment in the
history of the two countries. In out
ward splendor it suggested the Field
of the Cloth of Gold, the greatest pa
geant of all history. when in 1920
Henry VIII, the much-married mon
arch of England. met Francis l. of
France in the Valley of Audrey.
In the actual handclasp of the two
executives, however and in the ex,
change of greetings-in the actual ex-
pressions of the good will and friend
ship between the two nations, for
which the outward glitter and glamour
was but the frame-simple but cor
dial informality reigned.
Two cities on the border. the long
bridge across the Rio Grande and Ell
Chamizal, strip of neutral territory
formed the scene of this international
spectacle. The action alternated be-
tween FL Paso, famous in the days of
the old Santa Fe TRAIL and the quaint
little City of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
1t was the second time that a Presi-
dent of the United States had gone
outside his country during his term of
Office, Theodore Roosevelt having set
the precedent when he stepped on the
soil of the Republic of Panama. 1t
was the first time that President Diaz
ever left the boundaries of his coun-
try, and to do it special sanction had
to be granted by the Mexican Con-
gress. A special train was built to
convey the Mexican President to the
border, and for the time being Ciudad
Juarez became the Mexican capital
In Ell Paso President Diaz, after

In Ciudad Juarez President Taft on
his two trips across the Rio Grande
rode through banks of cheering and
shouting Mexicans, who sang "Amerl-

The actual meeting between the two
Presidents was witnessed by fewer
than a score of persons-only the per.
sonal stats of the two principals. AT
ter greetings were over President
Taft and President Diaz withdrew in
to an inner room of the chamber Of
commerce of Ell Paso. where the his
toric meeting occurred and in a long
conference were attended only by
Governor Creel of the State of Chi
huahua, former ambassador to the
United States, who acted as interpre-
ter.
At $50 o'clock President Taft
crossed the Rio Grande to Juarez for
the second time, and was guest of
honor at a banquet which for splendor
of appointment was probably the most
notable state feast ever served on the
American continent

KIDNAPPED CHILDREN FOUND.
Chicago Police Hold Viviano Boy
and Girl Stolen from st. Louis.

SulcdSO fOllce hO1Q V1V1auO boy
and Girl Stolen from st. Louis.
Tomaso and Grace Viviano, children
kidnapped in st. Louis last July and
held for a $4,000 ransom, have been
found wandering, abandoned, on the
streets of Chicago. Suffering from ex-
posture and with we'll developed at
tack of pneumonia the little girl was
taken to the Passavant Hospital and
placed in the care of physicians. The
child cries constantly when her cous-
in is out of sight, and to keep her con-
tented the boy also has been quartered
at the hospital. Captain John Rehm
of the Chicago avenue police station
wired the parents of the kidnapped chill
dren, Peter and Justina Viviano, in ST.
Louis.
Immediately after the discovery of
the identity of the children detectives
from central, Chicago avenue, and the
Hudson avenue stations were detailed
to search the neighborhood where they
were found in an effort to capture the
kidnaper. No trace of the custodians
of the boy and girl or place of custody
has been discovered. Though appear
ing to have been fed well-but not
comfortably clothed both children
have been frightened into silence and
it was with difficulty they were per-
suaded to talk.
It is desired that several strange
features in connection with the case
viii be cleared up, it having been re-
ported at ST. Louis that the Vivianos
recently had paid s2,50e of the SIS, 900
ransom demanded by the kidnapers.

WriGht's Hudson Flight.

After having waited over week for
favorable weather conditions for his
official test flight during the Hudson
Fulton celebration in New York, Will
bur Wright made good" by navigat-
ing his aeroplane from Governors ISL
and up the Hudson over the tunnels
Of the warships with their up-rushing
currents of air and past the air eddies
rom the big skyscrapers to a point
opposite Grants tomb and back. amid
the cheers of multitudes of people
along the shores and the chorus of
1arbor craft whistles He alighted
without a jar only a few feet from the
starting point. This fight fulfilled the
conditions of the celebration contract
and made an interesting scientific DEM
onstration to navy men of the capac-
.ty of the Wright machine to carry de-
structive bombs directly over the big
warships. Later the same day, as the
aviator was about to make a second
flight to do bigger stunts in the air
about New York. the blowing out of a
cylinder put his machine out of COM
mission and narrowly missed Wright.
This illustrated anew the variety of
dangers under which the art of flying
is as yet practiced. Mr.. Wright an
nounced that this would be his last
flight for some time. and that neither
he nor his brother, Orville, wished to
be regarded as showmen. They would
hereafter confine their flying to in
struction of others under contract
and to the scientific experimentation
with new improvements
