DEATH OF KING MOURNED
BY HIS FAITHFUL DOG
Conduct Shows the Animal Realizes
What Has Happened-Restless
and Nervous.

LONDON, May 9.-One mourner OF
King Edwards death is lis fayorite dog.

was the kings constant companion. 60
ing abroad with him as we'll as on shorter
Journeys. He is a sinigularly intelligent
animal. and his conduct since the death
OF his master leaves no doubt in any mind
that he realizes perfectly what has han.
pened
He shared the kings room wherever he
was, and now moves about the palace 1T
fully and restlessly. He has attached
himself TO member of the household
who, like himself. was constantly with
the king. and the sorrow-stricken servant
and dog keep each other company i'm their
grief
Many stories told of Caesar. At
luncheon one day at Biarritz. when Cae-
sar was receiving his usual bone from the
kings hand, guest at the royal table
observed that the dog should be getting
familiar with the language Of French
dogs.
81 am afraid said the king, that he
gets along very badly with them; in fact
he is anything but help to the entente

LUlL IN NEGOTIATIONS
OVER RAILROAD BILL
Only Informal Conferences Held
Among Small Groups. of
i Senator's Today.

Except for some informal conferences
among small groups of senator's there was
a Inll in negOtia tons over the railroad
rate bill today. The absence of President
Taft on one side and Senate Cummins
and DoIliver on the other tended to pre-
tent active consideration of the points in
dispute between the republican factions.
Senator Aldrich. however, returned to the
CITY today and busted himself talking with
his collea CUES over the trend of negotia-
lions during his recent absence from the
city Senator AIdrich will give the rail-
road bill his Hnf1agging attention from
now on, and il is hoped -that substantial
progress toward compromise between
the factions can be reached during this
week
Negotiations for compromise will pro-
coed along the lines detailed in The Star
Yesterday, as far as they can be con-
Quoted in the absence of Senators Dol
liver and Cunmins-
The administration republicans are very
confident that they, will be able to de-
feat the long and short haul amendment
proposed by some of the insurgents. 1t
was iltimated today, that number of
democratic senators will vote against
that amendment and may offset IN fact
tire vote of the insurgent republicans. !

RED CROSS FUND
FOR CARRIAGE VICTIMS
City of New Orleans Gives 81 900.
United Fruit Company's Con-
tribution, $25, 900.

The American Red Cross has received
from the city of New Orleans $1,000 as
its contribution to the fund for the relief
of the earthquake sufferers at Carriage.
Costa Rica.
The State Department has received
word from the representative OF the
United Fruit Company at Boston stating
that the company had contributed $4,000
for the same purpose. This contribution
no doubt will be distributed through the
company's agent at San Jose.
In response to a request sent to Mr..
Monroe. United States charge at San Jose.
asking for information to whether
the government of Costa Rica was in
need OF outside contributions for the relief
OF the earthquake sufferers. the State De-
partment has received a telegram to the
effect that the people are in very great
distress in consequence of the eathquak Ike,
but that the government feels some hest
tatiOn in asking aid from other nations
That is assumed to mean that the gov
eminent will gladly accept contributions
With a view to making the sum from the
United States as large as possible it Is
probable that President Taft will issue an
appeal urging the people or the country
to contribute generously to this cause.

PULP AND PRINT PAPER
INCREASED DUTIES ON THE
CANADIAN PRODUCTS,
Representative Mann's Prophecy
Fulflled-His Suggestion of Re.
ciprocal Plan of Procedure.

Announcement by the Treasury De-
partment of increased duties to be levied
on wood pup and print paper from Cana
dian provinces and forbidding the ex-
port of pulp wood cut from crown lands
bears out the prophecy made in the
House year ago by Mr.. Mann of ILL
nois when the tariff bill was under dis
cussion.
At that time Mr. Mann, in protesting
against the rates imposed by the pending
act, forecasted the inevitable course OF
Canada with the resultant increas ed
duties on this side the border and in
crease in price of print paper to the con-
summer.
The new rates announced by the Treas
ury Department Saturday are as follows:
On mechanically ground wood pulp,
One-tweifth of l per cent per pound dry
weight.
On chemical wood pulp, unbleached,
one-sixth of 1 cent per pound, dry
weight; bleached. one-quarter of / cent
per pound, dry weight.
On printing paper, the regular rates.
and in addition thereto the additional
duty of one-tenth of 1 cent per pound
when valued at :; cents per pound or less.
In discussing the action of the Treasury
Department Mr. Mann said today:
the action of Quebec and several other
provinces forbidding expectation of pulp
wood cut on public lands We can adopt
one of these different policies;
First, pass an act of Congress ia king
off the duty on paper coming from any
province which permits the free eXporta-
ton Of pulp wood. wood pulp and paper.
Second, negotiate reciprocity treaty
with Canada to the same end.
Third continue the present status and
ruin 0ne-half our paper manufacturers
and increase the price Of print paper to
very great extent, how much no one
can tell.
No one in Congress is prepared at this
time to predict congressional action on
the subject. The leaders are afraid to
open up the tariff question by considering
any one of the suggestions pending in
the form of bills and resolutions
For the present the third alternative
mentioned by Mr.. Mann is being followed.
and the effect will be noted

LOCAL MATTERS IN HOUSE.
Bill to Extend 10th Street Favorably
Considered.

The regular business Of District day
was delayed for an hour and a helf to-
day until the Fairgrounds fight was end
ed. BY that time most of the members
of the House who had been called into the
climber to answer to their names, had
left again, and when Chairman Smith Of
Of hte District committee called up the
first bill on his list, there were only a
couple Of dozen members on the floor
The first bill called up was a Senate
measure to provide for the txetnsion Of
10Th street from Belmont road to Bit
more street with a uniform width Of
fifty feet
Only seventy-One members responded
to the call in committee of the whole
and they divided forty-five to twenty. six
in favor OF the bill. which consequently
was laid aside with a favorable recon-
mendation.
