DEMOCRATS PREPARE FOR
FIGHT ON TARIFF CHANGE
New Bill Drafted by Republicans Will
Be StrenuousIy OPP
posed

WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-While the
majority members of the house COM
mittee on ways and means are busily
engaged with the preparation of the
new tariff bill the Democrats of the
committee are losing no opportunity
to prepare themselves for the fight
which is expected to take place on the
floor of the house when the bill is in
troduCed.
1t is not considered likely that a mi
nority bill will be introduced. AT the
time the Dingley tariff bill was under
consideration, in 1897, five days were
allowed for general debate, and two
days for the consideration of the bill
under the five-minute rule, for the of
fering Of amendments
The result was that the chemical
schedule, one of comparatively little in
teTest, was the only one that had been
considered by the time the two days
for offering amendments had been con-
sumed.
The important schedules and items of
the bill were never reached.
A number of the insurgents and sew
eral members of the majority who have
reason to believe that their particular
desires will not he gratified in the new
bill probably will make a strong fight
to have sufficient time allowed this year
so that amendments may be offered to
any or all sections

PRESIDENT YET FAR FROM
SATISFIED WITH RESULTS
Anti=Japanese Status in California
and Nevada Discussed with
Senators

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-President
Roosevelt is by no means realizing his
efforts to prevent anti-Japanese legis-
lation in California and Nevada. He
had conferences today with Senators
Flint of California and Nixon of Ne
vada, and persisted in his representa-
tions to them that the situation would
become critical if their states insisted
on legislation that would be insulting
tc the Japanese, whom he referred to
as acting with dignity under the strain.
The two senators agreed to continue
their effort to influence the legislatures
of their states against action of any
sort, and went away from the White
House and sent kilograms to the lead
ers of those bodies asking for postpone
ment of any pending legislation
81 feel that we ought not to try to
resist the strong appeals of the chief
executive" said Senator Flint.
81 agree with him that the time is
inopportune for legislation, and am go
ing to do what 1 can to help him in his
efforts"

BOMB CAUSES WILD PANIC,
WHICH MAY PROVE FATAL
Police Charge Camorra Is Guilty of
Latest Outrage in New
York

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Scores of peo-
pie were thrown into a panic and the
lives of several babies suffering from
scarlet fever may be lost as the result
Of the explosion of bomb outside the
vestibule of an East Seventy-fifth
street tenement house early today.
The police believe the so-called black
hand is responsible for the outrage, as
they say a grocer named Pacolocci,
who occupied a store on the ground
floor of the building which was blown
up, had received threatening letters.
Pacolocci denies this.
The bomb was found in the vestibule
by Police Sergeant Birmingham, who
saw the sputtering of the spark as he
was passing. The sergeant entered the
hallway to investigate, but when he
saw the bomb was about to explode
he fed to the street. He hardly reached
the curb when the explosion occurred.
The vestibule doors were blown out,
the ceiling fell and the windows in the
front of the building smashed. The
tenants fed to the street, carrying sew
eral children i'll with scarlet fever.

GERMAN ENVOY AND COUNTESS
PROVE POPULAR GUESTS
New Yorks Critical 400 Manifests
Much interest in Ambassador
and His Beautiful
Spouse

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Few foreign
ENJOYS have been honored in New York
or elsewhere as has the German en-
bassador, Count Johann Heinrich Won
Bernstorff, who, accompanied by his
wife, the beautiful countess, now are in
New York enjoying the hospitality Of
the American and German society
leaders.
Since the big banquet rendered by
the chamber of commerce, which was
followed by the reception at the Man
haitian club by Herman Ridder and
other prominent men, including DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, president Of
the Columbia university; Philip Dodge,
president of the Engineers club, and
Joseph H. Choate, the count and count
ess have been rendered a series Of un-
precedented fetes, comprising every
form of entertainment from private tea
to balls and banquets.
Few people know that the Countess
Won Bernstorff is native of the United
States; but, although proud Of her ma
tive land, her long residence in Ger
many and her deep interest in the poll
ties and national development of that
country, have given her a pronounced
German temperament and character, of
which her husband obviously is proud.
They are an ideally affectionate couple,
and the count has declared to many of
his friends that he owes his success in
life as a national leader-which Ger
man court circles consider him to be
to the inspiration of his wife's COM
panionship and character.
She is a lovable woman, and New
York's critical 400 has evinced an ex-
ceptional fancy for her
1t is expected they will remain in
New York for several weeks vet.
Meanwhile a great number of festivi-
ties are being arranged not only by
the resident Germans, but by many dis

Mrs. w. 1. Thomas, superintendent

Tear up the carpets on the floors of

people into those churches to dance,
to tryst and to hold their clubs Then
they will not go to places that are not
respectable.
'If we could realize in the schools
that somebody had rights besides the
janitor we should also be long way
toward doing away with delinquent
children.
''Those schools are abstract in their
teachings and the churches are not
humanized. The systems in both are
traditional and abstract instead of
modern and practical" W

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-Failure of the
four-masted bark Fort George to ar
rive at Honolulu, for which port she
sailed from New York on July 26 last.

Dearborn, it was stated today that
while the bark had not been given up

iety regarding her, as she was about
two months overdue, and the last heard

Men Of Drawn.
From the Providence Tribune

From the Providence Tribune
1t is said that measurements by scien-
lists prove that the American college ath-
lete OF today is a much larger man than
his father was and that he is constantly
growing. Prof. Sargent Of Harvard re-
ports that the undergraduates OF muscle
at that institution are an inch taller and
from four to Ave pounds heavier than
they were thirty years ago.
That may be due TO the fact that thirty
years ago little more attention was pa III
TO the development OF the body than to
the mind. In some seats of learning, in
deed. the training OF the mind was re-
garded as fully as important as that Of
the body. and those who participated i'm
sports did not rank much higher any
where than those who were given TO
books and bookishness.
But at any rate. II might be contended
that there is no great ADVANTAGE to he
gained i'm raising race OF giants. The
conservation of the resources OF the coun-
try. natural and artificial. Is against such
an undertaking. As a rule. young men
who are high and wide eat and drink con-
siderably more than their smaller broth
ers and a msjorits.of themrdo less work.
