Cessrs. James Of Kentucky and Rainey
of Illinois, were selected by the democratic
caucus for appointment under the action
Of the insurgent- democratic combination,
which took the power Of appointing the
committee away from the speaker.
Messrs. MurdUck and Gardner reiterated
much that Mr.. Hayes had said, but ad-
mitted they did not see exactly how they
were going TO get out OF the difficulty
A statement was prepared by Mr.. Gardner
and Mr. Murdock, which read
I'VE called on the president and spoke
70 him about the personnel of the investl-
eating committee but nothing definite was
arrived at The president felt it was not
for him TO indicate his choice as to the
future action OF the house I'm this respect
but urged that Il was of the utmost i'm
portanee that the members Of the commit
tee should be men recognized by both sides
OF the house as fair and impartial in the

Democrats Buncoed Them

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-A new and de-
cldedly interesting turn was given to the
'insurgent" movement in the house today
when Representative Hayes of California,
Murdock OF Kansas and Gardner of Mas
sachusetts FASTENED to the White House to
tell the president in effect that they were
afraid they had been used" by the demo-

chot investigating committee and that the
democrats we're taking advantage Of the
opportunity TO put two of their most par
tisian members on the committee for the
purpose OF making political capital out OF
the affair.
Mr., Hayes told the president that while
he was an insurgent he did not intend to
be placed In the position OF helping the

administration" This he was afraid was
going to happen unless some means Of
changing the democratic selections for the
investigating committee could be devised.

GERMANY FIRM ON TARIFF
America it Will Make No
More Trade Concessions.
MEAT AGREEMENT MUST STAND
Antis Charge American Tariff Was
Passed for the Purpose OF
Limiting Trade with
.,- Germans. ".

BERLIN jan 18zThe German govern
ment today cabled to Washington a reply
to a memorandum recently received from
the United States relating to the tariff
on Importation between the two coun-
tries While It does not accept the Amerl-
can wishes in various respects and espe-
cially concerning the importation of meat,
the German response is sent in the hope
that it will be satisfactory and as all that
the German government can do.
The reply was dispatched with a certain
feeling of gravity, because of the feeling
that Germany can do no more and must
be prepared for trade hostilities should
the United States unhappily insist on more
than Germany accords TO other countries.
Chancellor Won Behamann-Hollweg and
his associates, the imperial ministers, ap-
pear convinced that the combined conser-
vative center and national-liberal parties
Of the Reichstag would block the way to
any departure from the present laws COW
ering the importation of meats.
The government has received the opin-
ions of leaders of these parties and more
over has gathered widely the views OF
manufacturing interests. Even were the
government disposed to accept the Ameri-
can contentious in their entirety, there
does not appear to be the least possibility
that the Reichstag would pass the legisla-
tion essential for the modification of the
German law
1t is cited at this time that in promul.
eating the American-German tariff agree
ment in 1907 President Roosevelt stated
that Germany was giving to the United
States more than it was receiving.
ie R,,rtt,ar oOipfad o,tf that Youy 1b.
American tariff revision having been made
as is constantly asserted in all quarters
with the design OF limiting German trad,
with the United States and request be
ing made that Germany shall maxi
further impossible concessions, the genera
temper of the country, as indicated by tn
chambers of commerce, the Reichstag, fin
ancial journals and the governmental spe-
cial inquiries is steadfast in what Is con
sidered sound position, namely, to take
whatever comes.

ENGLAND, WORLDS RAG BAG
TARIFF EXPERT SAYS IT is DUE
TO FREE TRADE.
J. Ellis Parker Compares Wages Paid
in His Country With Those of
the American Workmen.

New York, Sept 2S.-Free trade
has made Great Britain the worlds
ragbag, says J. Ellis Parker, English
tariff expert, who is in New York on
his first visit, to study economies.
The condition Of the American
worfingman is far above that of his
British brother" said MIR. Parker.
Owing to unemployment and extreme
ly low wages, British workers live
from hand to mouth. American work
ingmen have almost $4,000, 00O, 900 in
savings banks, while British workers
have only $1,000, 100000 New York
state has more money in savings
banks than the whole of the United
Kingdom, while per head of popula.
ton there is in the savings banks of
Great Britain only $25, as compared
with $500 in New York.
The average wage for full employ
ment in the cotton trade in England
is $3.50 a week; in the wooden trade,
$3.50; in the clothing trade it is about
the same, while in the linen trade it
is less than So. Agricultural laborers
receive from 50 to $3.50 a week. Free
trade England has the proud distinc-
ton of being the largest importer of
the world, and curiously enough, the
greater part comes from the three
great protection countries-the United
States, Germany and France. The
rag pickers of the universe rake over
heaps for rags to sell to free trade
Britain to be manufactured into cheap
clothes"
