DENIES WAR SENTIMENT
IN ECUADOR AND PERU
Message Received, in London Says
Rioting Does Not Interpret
Opinion Of Majority.

LONDON, April S.-Henry Williams,
confidential agent for the government of
Ecuador. who is now in London. received
today the following. ca blegram from Pres
ident AIfaro of Ecuador:
The turbulent manifestations at Quito
and Lima in no manner interpret the SEN
timent OF the majority In the two coun-
tries NOR the pacific Intentions of the re-
spective governments. The differences
have been submitted for diplomatic ac-
ton, which is directed to avoid war. Ne
gotiations have been initiated for a di-
rect settlement through mediation by the
United States government. The commits
sioners will meet in Washington.
''ELOY ALFARO.'
Mr.. Williams thinks that it may be
confidently assumed that there is not the
least probability of Ecuador and Peru
going to war over their boundary dispute.
Warlike preparations against Ecuador
are still going on in Peru. according to q
dispatch received today at the State De-
partment from the United States legation
at Lima. The message further states
chat the newspapers generally deplore
the rioting which has taken place at in
eervals during the last week or more.

The State Department is still without
official information from Peru as to ner
intentions respecting the proposed meet
ing of representatives from that govern
ment and Ecuador in Washington TO open
negotiations looking to the settlement OF
the present difficulty.
Nevertheless, among members OF the
diplomatic corps conversant with the SEN
timent of the officials of the two govern
ments, the opinion is gaining ground that
an amicable settlement will be ultimately
reached through negotiations in Wash.

presiding at such elections. When the
delegate is elected by the qualified

SION BECOME ACTIVE.
Encouraged by Action Of Indiana
Republicans and the Election

Inspired by the attitude of the Indiana
republican convention toward the tarifl
law and Representative Foss success in
the recent Massachusetts congressional
election, the republican advocates OF a
tariff commission are determined to press
their cause before the adjournment, OF
the present session OF Congress.
They declare that the Payne-Aldrch bill
is so manifestly failing to meet the de-
mands of the country that the republi-
cans must do something to place them.

that all the arguments are favorable TO d

BILE scientific revision OF the tariff. will
take the first favorable opportunity to
press for action.
May Be in Form of Amendment
Just how they will proceed they are not
determined. There are four or five Sen.
ate bills and even more in the House
which look to the creation of a commits
sion. The bills in the House are before
the ways and means committee, and
those of the Senate are in the hands Of
the finance committee. Both of these
organizations are considered ant agonistic.
ana very little IS hoped Tor IRON them- In
view of the opposition OF the regulars
who control the committees it now seems
probable that they will undertake to &C
complish their purpose by means of an
amendment to one OF the appropria ton
bills, probably the sundry civil bill.
Confident OF Strength.
They count upon the opposition of the
trainers of the present law. but declare
that they will be strong enough to put
their proposition through. There has been
no formal conference. but many ex-
changes Of opinion among different groups
of senators and members. and the predic-
ton is freely made that the effort will
be undertaken before the close of the
present session.
