didates: while Mr.. Hughes was
fishing IN the judicial pond try
ing to land q judgeship, but It is
getting very evident that neither
of the candidates are going to
be permitted to pussy-foot their
way into the mayorality. Col.
Grace has made several speeches
in which he laid bare his posi-
ton, and now comes Mr.. Hughes
in an address and wants to know
"what friends or what interests
are so concerned in continuing
the friendships and policies OF
this administration as to finance
the campaign Of its candidate. :"
He also wants to know who it IS
that is paying for the beer and
other beverages used at a ward
meeting in the interest Of a can
didate for mayor. Here is an
open charge that the candidate
who is being backed by the
administration is debauching
and bamboozljng the electorate
of that city. He surely does not
intend this for Colonel Grace as
it is a notorious fact that this
gentleman has not relied upon a
hammer to knock the present
city administration, but he has
welded a sledge-hammer, es.
pecially so in his criticism of the
man at the head of the admins
tration, so he must mean that
Mr.. Hyde's friends are doing
this debauching and other acts
that are contrary to moral ethics.
We are inclined to think that
Mr.. Hughes has permitted him
self to listen to political slanders,
because, it is not reasonable that
man of Mr.. Hyde's prominence
| in his church would, for the sake
of an Office, countenance the de-
bauching of the electorate that
his ambition may be gratifed, and
did he find that any Of his friends
did give away strong drink to Sc
cure votes for him,he would re-
pudiate such friendship. MIR.
Hyde is a prominent member of
the Citadel Square Baptist
church, and a strong temperance
man, therefore we do not believe
he would accept any Office which
was procured by unlawful and
immoral means, nor could he if
elected to the Office of Mayor, per-
INIT what has been countenanced
ever since the saloons Of that city
were closed by the law Of the
State. He would, in accordance
with his oath of Office, shut up
every liquor shop in that city,
aud keep them shut up, if he did
not, he would be untrue to his
church and his lifelong profes-
sions.
Therefore we must think Mr..
Hughes, who has the reputation
of being a man of the highest
Integrity, is mistaken in charg.
ing that Mr.. Hyde is giving
away beer and whiskey to in
Ifuence votes.

HIGH TRIBUTE PAID TO
AMERICAN AGRICULTURE
Close of Meeting of Repre-
sentatives From Forty
Nine Countries.

ROME. May 20.-The general assembly
of the International Institute of Agricul-
ture closed the most successful meeting
in its history today. Forty-nine countries
were represented. The American dele
cation took a prominent part in the dis
cussions and won all the points they
sought. The discussions were vigorous.
but cordial. and the final conclusions
unanimous.
The assembly decided urgently to re-
quest the governments adhering to the
principles of the institute to send to the
institute estimates of yields and condi-
tions pertaining to the principal crops for
the three months preceding the harvest,
and selected the American system. or
'single numerical statement" for these
reports.
The assembly also voted for the in
auguration of system OF commercial
and price statistics OF exports and I'm
ports. recommending the Campbell sys-
tenn OF dry farming. the organization OF
a permanent commission for the study OF
plant diseases and a department OF agri.
cultural meteorology. which will probably
be modelled on the American system.
Delegates to the assembly appeared
generally to acknowledge that the United
States was further advanced than any
other country in all things relating to
agriculture, and the American delegates
expressed themselves as being impressed
with the thorough and practical work OF
the institute. The next assembly will
he held in 1913.

ARBITRATION SCHEME
PROPOSED TO GERMANY
Question of Disarmament
Looked Upon With Disfavor
in kaiser's Country.

BERLIN, May 2O.-Germany has been
approached regarding the American arbi-
tration scheme, but in what form or with
what result cannot be learned at the
foreign office. TIE communications on this
subject must have been exchanged at
Washington, as the American embassy at
Berlin has not been directly interested.
A representative of the German foreign
office. while admitting that Germany had
received communications relative to arbi-
tration with the United States. declined
to make statement as to Germany's at
titude. There was no reason to believe.
he said, that this had changed since Chan
cellor Won Bethmann- H ollweg's speech in
the reichstag. in which he characterized
disarmament as an ideal which could not
be realized.
In this speech, which was delivered by
the imperial chancellor in the reichstag
March 80 last, the chancellor said: Cen
eral disarmament is an insoluble problem,
SO long as men are men. 1t will remain
true that the weak will be the prey of
the strong. If any nation feels that it
can no longer spend money for defensive
purposes it will inevitably drop to the
second rank. The nations, including Ger
many, have been talking disarmament
since the first Hague conference, but
neither in Germany nor elsewhere has a
practical plan been proposed

Thursday. Senator La Toilette will to-
morrow afternoon call up for action his
resolution directing a new investigation
and naming a special committee Of five
senators to conduct It.
The main speculation is over the COM
mittee which will make the second in
quiry. Senator La Toilette and other in
surgents will urge that a special commit
tee should do the probing and will sup
port the La Toilette resolution, which puts
the Job up to five members of the Senate
who were sworn In at the beginning of
the special session and who therefore
had no connection with the former inves-
tigation and discussion in the upper
house.
By Special Committee.
1t has also been suggested that the
probe should be conducted by the regular
Senate committee on privileges and cleo
tions, which conducted the first inquiry,
or that a special committee. different
from either Of these should be named.
The anti-Lorimer senators will insist
upon an entirely new and thorough probe
of Mr.. Lorimer's election, a probe that
will not consider the former investiga-
ton and it's result In favor of Mr.. Lori
mer.
Senator La Toilette has prepared a

larly the new evidence developed at
Springfield 1t is expected that the tele-
grams Lorimer sent to the beef trust

and there will be no means by which
Edward Tilden and other material wit
nesses can escape the production of their
books and papers if summoned under the

but they hope to evolve a law that will
accomplish their purpose under the Con-
stitution.
They point out as an additional ad-
vantage that If the scheme goes through
with a prohibitory tax on enormous ag-
gregations Of capital it will help to solve
the problem of federal control of the
trusts by forcing the corporations either
to pay the enormous rate or dissolve into
their constituent companies to avoid ii.
In either case, they claim. the scheme
would work out greatly to the advantage
of the government.
There Is a possibility that if the advo-

MAKE UP TARIFF LOSS
ON CORPORATION TAX
Democrats Figure Loss In
Revenue Through Revision
Will Be $1O,OOO,0OO.

Seeking a means of escape from the
obvious danger of too much revenue

of House democrats yesterday took up a
proposition for increasing the returns

The democratic leaders figure that the
present plans of tariff revision will lop
some $lO,O0OOOO from the revenues. The
republicans declare that the figure will
reach at least S5OOO0.OoO. if the tariff
bills become law. Unless some rigorous
retrenchment is put into effect the demo-
Gratis must make UP this revenue.

KING GEORGE ANGRY

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, May 2O.-An extraordinary
scene, capable only of one Interpretation,
occurred at the Victoria station this
afternoon on the occasion of the de-
parture Of the kaiser. The king passed
through the royal reception room to the
platform talking heatedly with the kaiser,
emphasizing his argument by repeatedly
smiting his palms severely. So engrossed
was the king in his argument that he
was apparently unaware that he was In
public view.
Suddenly, with an expressive gesture.
the kaiser turned away from the king
and began talking to Lord Lonsdale.
King George thereupon deliberately
turned his back upon the kaiser and
commenced talking to the Duke of Con-
naught. without taking notice while the
kaiser bid farewell to the other members
of the royal party.
King Bows Gravely.
Without further word with King George
the kaiser and kaiser1n entered the par
lor car, while the king disdainfully con-
tinued his conversation with the Duke of
Connaught King George seemed sudden
ly to think better Of his position and
went on board the car, bowling gravely
and only once to the kaiser and kadserin,
without shaking hands He then turned
his back upon the emperor and resumed
his conversation with the Duke Of Con-
naught and did not once look around be-
for the train steamed out.
The waiting royalties on the platform
we're obviously aware of the tense sig
nif1cance of the occasion and stood
around in gloomy silence The effect OF
this sinister incident was not lost on the
privileged spectators within the royal IN
closure as the king, with gloomy face
returned to Buckingham Palace.
