Oswego, N Y, March 9.-Poitcal lead

who were here today in attendance on
the funeral of Former United States Sem

nifty for an exchange of views on the
political situation at Albany. The Aids

by former Governor Odell, Chairman

bany. United States Senator Elihu Root,
whose telegram advocating the election

Aids has stirred some of the supporters
of the candidacy of Senator George H.

night it was limited that a hitherto I'M

PROGRESSING SLOWLY.
Outlook for Speedy Tariff Agreement
With France Not Encouraging.

Washington, March 9.-Little prog
ress is being made in the tariff nego-
tiations between the United States and
France At the present moment the
indications OF speedy settlement of
the questions involved are not en-
couraging. The United States has in
sisted from the outset upon the French
minimum rates for the minimum rates
of the Payne Aldrich act and up to
this time the proclamations issued by
the President extending these rates
to foreign countries have been based
upon like concessions to the United
States.
The great obstruction that was en-
countered from the first in these nego-
tiations with France was that the
minimum rates of France ranged from
five to 10 per cent. ad valorem, while
the ad valOrem rates of our present
minimum tariff is approximately 4o
per cent. The law. however. gives lit
tie latitude for negotiation and the
tariff officers of the government are
compelled 10 insist. Notwithstanding
this great difference, upon substan-
TALLY minimum for minimum. In re-
lation to this position by the United
States the French government has
made counter. proposition which,
while materially charging the list of
minimum rates which the United
Safes now enjoys in France, falls short
of the expectations of this government.
The situation is being somewhat COM
plicated by the fact that legislative
revision of the French tariff is now in
progress
Notwithstanding the extreme limita-
tons as to negotiations provided in
the Payne Aldrich act. the statement
is made that it NAV be legal as wel!

By Eliee Bishop, a NegrtPrisoner--
Scuffle Lasting Ten Iinutes
Ensues

An attempt to break jd was made
by he prisoners confled in the
county Jail at this plae Tuesday
night, but Jailer l.. J. Beck put
up a good fight and be attempt
failed.
Jailer Beck was givirgatss;iss sei:as

was grabbed by Elige Bishop, one
of the inmates, who attempted to
overpower him, but the other two
prisoners appeared a little slow a
bout entering the affray, and Mr.
Beck commanded them tOhelp sub
due Bishop, but they were slow
about taking hold, but quickened
their gait when Mr.. Lannie Beck, a
son of the jailer, appeared al the
door with a gun a few moments
after the attack was made. After
about 10 minutes scuffie Bishop was
subdued and placed in a secure sell.
After quiet was restored one OF
the prisoners stated that they had
agreed to make the attack aud laid
plans beforehand. A heavy iron
bar was found, which is supposed
to have been intended to play part
in the af1ray, but the other prison
ers failed to play their part and the
game would not work.
