The Host Was Pleased.

EEEDWARD EVERETT HALE"

guests at a millionaire's dinner.
THE millionaire was a free spend
err but he wanted full credit for ev-
cry dollar put out. And, as the din
ner progressed, he told his guests
what the more expensive dishes had
cost. He dwelt especially on the
expense of the large and beautiful
grapes, each bunch a foot long, each
grape bigger than a plum. He told,
down to a penny, what he had fig
ured it out that the grapes had cost
him apiece. The guests looked an
noyed. They ate the expensive
grapes charity. But DIR. Hale, smil-
ing, extended his plate and said:
Would you mind cutting me off
about $1S7 worth more, please?"

REPUDIATE
PROPOSED TERMS
Allies Say They Accept Conditions of
Mediation, But Make Too Many
Reservations

SOFIA, Bulgaria, April 5.--The Bul-
garian government today handed the
diplomatic representatives. OF the Eu-
ropean powers a reply to the communi-
cation of March %. concerning the
suggested basis of peace between Tur-
key and the Balkan allies.
The reply is to the effect that all
of the allied Balkan nations have ae-
cepted the conditions of mediation
proposed by the European powers, sub
ject to reservations which practically
repudiate the proposed terms.
The allies insist that the Aegean
sea islands he ceded to them by Tur-
key, rather than to have the question
settled by the powers, and declare
that the question of war indemnity be
settled in principal, the task of fixing
the amount being left to commits
sion.
The allies also express the opinion
that they should know beforehand the
frontier boundaries proposed for the
future state of Albiana.

ULTIMATUM ON
THE SUGAR RATE
Cent a Pound or Nothing and Aboli-
tion Of All Duty at the End
of Three Years.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Dem
ocratic tariff revision bin is completed,
with the exception of final decision
upon the sugar tariff. From beginning
to end it is 4 measure modelled in ac-
cord with the ideas Of President Will

fGodstuffs and clothing materials on
the free list, with low duties upon all
agricultural products and fOodstuffs
that are not free, and with the tariff
on chemicals, steel and other CONNER
cial products cut far below the present
protective rates.
The Senate tariff leaders Yesterday
asked for an opportunity to study the
bin until tomorrow afternoon. They
will then confer with Chairman I'M
lerwood of the House committee on
ways and means, ana later will have
a final conference with President VIII
son. \ careful analysis Of the Senate
viii be made in the meantime to deter
mine whether free wool, one-cent
sugar ana low rates on market
basket products will prove acceptable
to majority of the Democrats.
President Wilson s ultimatum to
sugar interests is that they must agree
to tariff of one cent per pound for
three years. with free sugar after that
time, or he would attempt to secure
free sugar at once. The committee -
prepared to agree on free sugar if the
president insists.
Income tax rates were fixed at I
per cent for all corporation incomes
above $1,000; ] per cent on personal
incomes from $4,000 to 100000; , per
cent from 100000 to 100000; Z per
cent above 100000.
