WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The real strug-

tariff with foreign countries under the
maximum and minimum clause Of the
Payne-Aldrich bill began to-day with the
exiranon Of the trade agreements with
France, Switzerland and Bulgaria From
this time until March 81. the products OF
these countries which have been adj

the regular rate and. IN retaliation. II
is expected that exports from the United
States will be restored to the maximum
rate by the foreign governments.
The situation IS causing more geuine
concern among the diplomats in Washing

the situation an acute one. France may
or may not choose TO continue the con-

Mr.. Cooling makes It clear that Ameri-
can business men are looking forward to
some such development as this when the
people in the eastern part Of the United
States Will have to buy meat from South
America. He says already American
business men have visited Uruguay for
the purpose Of collecting data relative
TO the shipment OF beef and mutton from
Montevieda to New York. and these have
expressed the opinion that such a move
is practicable and would prove profitable
as the meat IS Of fine flavor and the price
70 the consumer. would be considerably
less than the price pair for the homo
product. The government or Uruguay
has recently passed an act which relieves
the shippers of frozen meat from the pay
ment OF the export duty for n period Of
ten years. provided the meat IS prepared

! According TO Mr.. Goding. there IS bu
one establishment IN Uruguay devoted ex

HIDE CASH IN
STRANGE PLACES

Although there are excellent savings
banks in Cuhs for generations tho peo-
pie have been accustomed TO aecreta
their cash. A traveller. says tho Phila-
delphia Ledger. tells OF one hiding place
in the birds house in a tree. The Gu
bans residence had been looted a num-
ber OF times during he various revolu-
tions, but the raiders had never sus-
pected tho birds house IN the tree. After
the death OF the head OF the family tne
valuables were removed by the children
and placed IN the Havana Bank.
In another case the wall OF a building
was chosen. "A man with considerable
patience followed out one of the stones
in chipping out this hollow. Within the
hollow the little caslSet containing Jewels
and money was placed. Then stone
slab had 70 be cut to replace the front
without showing any break. This re-
quired two days more. The piece OF
stone was slipped into place and sealed
with cement In order to remove the
stone tools wero required each time. But
this hiding place served for years and
exists now.

He simply writes each idea on 6
