DAVIS EXPLAINS TO TAFT.
Worry Over Son Made Him Too Late
for Dinner.

Senator jeff Davis has written let
ter to the President telling him why he
did not attend a recent dinner at the
White House. to which he was invited.
He explains that his failure in that re-
spect was due to the fact that he was
compelled to look after his twelve-year-
old son. and not to any Intentional dis
courtesy.
Explaining the presence of his son in
the city, the senator continues:
ION the evening of the dinner l al
lowed him to go to Fort Myer with
little companion to see the airship. He
did not return until such late hour
that 1 became very much alarmed about
him and went to look for him. I did
not return until it was too late to he
present in obedience to your kind in
vitation.''
The senator states further that his let
ter owes it's origin to newspaper criti-
cisms He says he writes in the fear
that some of these may fall within the
Presidents observation. He says he
does not want to be considered rude.

HIGHER RATES ARE ADVOCATED
PRoTECTIoNISTS IN FRENCH
CHAMBER INSISTENT.
Senator Chaumie Startles Them by
Proposing to Suspend Tarih
Discussion.

PARIS Julv Ex-senator Chaumie to-
day followed ,Ip the speech made yester-
day in the chamber of deputies by Mln-
lister of Commerce Cruppi on tariff reVi-
sion with a motion to suspend TURNER
consideration of the tariff and invite the
government TO submit a bill which Wouiu
safeguard Frances political and economic
interests with foreign countries. He IN
sisted that the present parliament did not
have a mandate for a general revision
of the tariff, as in 1893, and he opposed
the measures proposed by the tariff COM
mission, which he said represented the
accumulated appetites of particular II
tests" and constituted menace TO the
export trade of France.
Protectionists Protest.
This motion threw the ultra -protec-
tionists into panic. NM klotz and
Morel and the other members of the COM
mission opposed the motion violently.
They declared the present bill was more
moderate than would be if the verdict OF
the country at the forthcoming genera
elections Wefe awaited and they denled
that the proposals were conceived IN
spirit of reprisal In any case, IL was
contended. France was not the aSsrese
sor and in this respect the action of
America was particularly cited.
Foreign Minister Pichon here lnter-
rupted the debate to declare that France
had not ceased to protest at Washington
I'VE must do more than protest, de-
clared NJ. KlotZ; the general rates must
be advanced to arm the government for
the coming negotiations"
Continuing. NJ. klotz pointed out that
since 1891 the French people had invest
ed 161. .nu0.00o.o 600 francs in foreign secu-
rites, and only .,O00.0OO.HO francs in
French securities. He maintained that
French capital should be compelled to
sustain French industry and that the
government must make foreign countries
understand that they could not close
their doors to French products and keep
them open to French gold.
NJ. Chaumie's motion went over 10
Thursday without a vote being taken.

in the city.
Mr.. Kane was accompanied by

before Justice L. F. Bryant at Gem
nell, Friday, where he was bound

Lyons decided to plead guilty,
and the trip here this morning
with Attorney Kane was for the
purpose of appearing before Judge

and receiving sentence. AS Judge
Stanton was absent from the city, il
is necessary for Lyons and Mr..
Kane to 60 to Grand Rapids and
make the plea before Judge Wright,
who is holding a term of court al
that place.

Finally lighting his lantern and

labors were rewarded by seeing
long slender object thrust through

Jester was greatly perplexed until,
when there was lull in the working
of the object thrust through the ice,
he made minute examination, and
his wonder and qualification knew
no bounds.
There, thrust through the ice, and
some three feet in length, was the
bill of one of the sword fish, and at a
point about six inches from the base
were the initials "A. II. j." with
which Mr.. Jester had branded all

them in the lake twp years ago.

which had been frozen into the ice,

During the campaign this winter

the doubtful character of title to
lands in the vicinity of Cass Lake,
by virtue of the town being amidst
a forest reserve, which acts as a
"stonewall." On account of these
references, certain Cass Lake people
and the Times of that place have
reviled the Pioneer and insinuated
that we were telling what was untrue
