Sixty-first Congress.
Washington, March "a.

W hAoiNA -
SENATE
The Senate was pot is session today
having adjourned on Monday till Thus
day.
The working of the new Fitzgerald
rules of the House came dangerously
near tying up consideration of the
tariff bill today and gave the speaker sn
anxious fifteen minutes.
The moment The reading Of the
Journal had been concluded Mr.. Payne
arose to move that the House resolve
itself into committee of the whole fol-
further consideration OF the tariff bill.
Mr.. Gardner, one OF the Ihorns ia the
speakers side, as leader of the insur-
gents, arose with parliamentary in
curry. He said that he desired to call
he chairs attention 10 the fact that,
this being calendar Wednesday, 1t would
take two thirds vote TO consider the
tariff bill.
Speaker Cannon explained that there
were no bills on the calender this ses-
sion except the tariff bill, and although
admitting that 1t would not be pIivi
legged under the rules In case other bills
were on the calendar, held that 1t was
not necessary to vote to dispense With
the rules for cslaudsr Wednesday.
Mr.. Payne thereupon ssked unani-
nous consent TO proceed with the tariff
bill and Mr.. Gardner Immediately made
q point Of order.
1.-THE chair" said the speaker,
''sgain states that there are no bills on
the calendar save the tariff bill and it
would not be in order to proceed TO con-
slider that bill at this time,
The chair inslly overruled Mr.. Gard
ner's point of order.
This was the 6rst working of the Fitz-
gerald rule, which the machine has coz
tended only strengthens their position,
but which today Mr.. Gardner announced
would likely give them considerable
embarrassment 10 the future.
Soon thereafter the tariff bill WIS
taken up and Mr.. Clark began his
speech in opposition to the bill.

HOLOBACKWARDOGS
SOCIALISTS IN GERMANY OPPOSE
FIGHT WITH ]. BULL.
Meeting of the Reichstag; Interest in
the Emporer's Speech From the
Throne Attracts Widespread At
tention; the Kaiser Has Been
Warned That Mis- Plans for Trou-
BILE Will Face Decided Opposition.

Berlin. Nov. 3O-With more social
lists among them than ever before, the
members of the reichstag gathered
TO-DAY to listen to Emperor Williams
speech from the throne. The address
of the kaiser is awaited with great
interest throughout Europe, especial
" in England Those who hope for
lasting peace are fearful that he will
indulge in one of his periodic belli-
cose ut~crances such as have so often
threatened to bring about serious
breach in the relations between Ger
many and England. The socialist
members, as matter OF course, are
armament, and there is evidence that
parlamentarians of other parties are
beginning to share the sentiment. The
constant preparation for war, which
las been going on for years on a gil
gantic scale, is probably largely re-
sponsible for the considerable increase
in the socialist vote.
Will Oppose War
The Norwarts, official organ of the
social democracy, has solemnly warned
the kaiser that the socialists, as a
single man will oppose his warlke
plans, and states that all the German
people support the policy of the So
cialists against excessive military and
naval burdens.
The Kaiser has repeatedly said in
hot NJ
war. But <when on a few occasions,
that of the close of the army maneu-
Nres for instance, he gives utterance
to sentiments bearing even the SEM
blance of belligerency he somehow
convicts himself of insincerity. Per-
haps the kaiser is as much averse to
war as any socialist within his en-.
pire, yet, occasionally, he forces the
world to. believe the contrary.
The man in the street" in England
Is absolutely convinced that the Ger
man emporer is an enemy of England
an enemy ever on the, alert for an
opportunity OF invading her shores.
Every warship turned out from a
German navy yard but intensifies that
feeling and tends to strengthen the
growing impression in England that
the future, and the near future. per-
haps, will see a gigantic conflict be-
tween the two countries for the SUI
premacy of the seas.
Meanwhile every naval backward in
Germany is veritable hive of indus
try. Warships are being launched.
"Ta nearing completion or are being
lad on the stocks with unceasino
regularity, and while work on some
OF Great Britain's 1909 is not started
yet, Germany is already far advanced
IN her program for 1910.

BUSINESS MEN ASK CONGRESS TO
LET TARIFF ALONE.
National Manufacturers Do Not Favor
Enlarging of Commission During
the Coming Session; Progressives
to Start Something; Bills to Add
to Board Sure to Be introduced
During the Term.

Washington, Nov. 29.-There will be
no enlargement of the membership of
the tariff board nor any legislation
looking to the creation of a tariff com
mission with broad powers, if the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
and the National Council for Industrial
Defense can control the matter.
These two wings of the business
mems organization of the country got
together in Washington last week and
decided to accept the present tariff
board as sufficient fulfillment of their
demand for a tariff commission for the
present and to rely on the promises
made by President Taft that the tariff
board should have its field of activity
enlarged and be gradually developed
into board of great powers in hand
ling tariff matters.
Leaders in Business There.
~ A number of the leading members
of the two organizations participated
in the conference, among them being
James w. Van Cleve of st. Louis,
chairman OF the National Council for
Industrial Defense and former chair
man of the Manufacturers association,
and John Kirby of Dayton, who sue
ceeded Mr.. Van Cleve as president of
the National Manufacturers association.
AT the conclusion of the conference
it was announced that the manufac-
turers who composed the membership
of the two organizations would keep
hands off at the coming session o.
congress, and do everything they could
to discourage a reopening of the tariff
commission.

KEEP UP THE HUNT PLEA IS FOR A REST
THE SEARCH FOR FRED VEITH
WILL BE CONTINUED.
Was Thought for a Time That the
Remains Found in the Suburbs of
Minneapolis Were His; An Investi-
CATION Proves Otherwise; the Story
of the Sudden Disappearance of a
North Mankato Resident.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The authorities of North MankNo
and Nieollet county yesterday thought
that possibly the body of an unknown
man found by some boys who were
hunting rabbits near the river at Min
neapolis might have been that of Fred
Veitn, who mysteriously disappeared
the night of July last, in North
Mankato. Sheriff Olson and County
Attorney Olson visited the village yes
terday afternoon and consulted with
County Commissioner Hodapp and mem
bers of the. village council, and with
Mrs. Veith.
Not the Body of Veith.
The coroner at Minneapolis was
called up, and a description of the
remains secured, but while it closely
resembled the description of Veitn
there were some important points of
difference. The teeth in the skeleton
found had no filling, while Veith's teeth
were gold filled. The man whose
syeleton was found was about five feet,
eleven inches tall, while Veith was
fully six feet tall. The clothing bore
a close resemblance, except that Veitil
wore satin cap when he disappeared,
and the dead mans hat was white
with black band
Are Working on the Case.
The officials. came to the conclusion
that he body found could not pos
sibly be Veith's. They are working
on the case, and have sent descriptions
of Veith to different cities. There
is division of opinion, some feel
ing that he skipped out, and others
that he was a victim of foul play.
Nothing has developed to support the
latter theory, however, so far as known.
Still, there was no reason why Veith
should have left, it is said. Nothing
has ever been heard of him since ten
O'Clock on the night of July 8. He
was doing well in the bakery business
in North Mankato, and had many
friends.
Story of His Disappearance.
The story of his disappearance was
related in The Free Press at the time
He was engaged in the bakery business
with his brother. On the night of
Victims disappearance the brother and
his wife attended dance in the coum-
try. When the brother arrived at the
bakery shop Sunday morning he was
surprised not to find his partner on
the job. The safe contained about
$3.50. Mrs. Veith, the wife of the miss
ing man, could give no information
