Democrats to Meet.

A call was issued today for a joint
meeting Of the city and Alexandria coun-
ty democratic committees for the pur-
pose of fixing upon the time limit for can
didates to file notice of their candidacy
for the state legislature to represent this
city and county in that body. The time
limit for candidates desiring to become
members of the two democratic commit
tees will also be decided upon at this
meeting If there is opposition the can
didates having such will come up for
election the same time the contest is held
for legislative hOnors
1t is understood that several Of the
present members Of the city commit
tee will not again be candidates for re-
election. Under the rules sixty days
have to intervene between the time of
filing notice of candidacy and the time
of the primary. 1t is. therefore, hardly
thought that a primary will be held
before the latter part of June. The
candidates for the legislature are j.

TOLL QUESTION
THEME Of LAWYERS
Subject Will Be Discussed by
American Society at SEES
Si0nS Here.

Indicative of the growing popular in
terest in the question Is the fact that
with a single exception every subject
set down for discussion at the seventh
annual meeting of the American Society
of International Law in this city Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday relates directly
to the Panama canal and the rectitude Of
the position of the United States gov
eminent toward the tolls question. Some
of the greatest lawyers in the land are
expected to address themselves to that
topic. Though the defense Of the govern
ment's attitude will be in able hands, 1t
is predicted that the weight of legal
heavy artillery will be in opposition.
Subjects to Be Discussed.

will be addressed by men of prominence
of the United States and other countries.

Washington, d. G., Jan. 6.The Demo.
cratic revision tariff actually got under
way to-day, when the House ways and
means committee began a hearing which
will be the basis of new tariff bill
of the next Congress to repeal the
Payne Aldrich law To-day's hearing
was on the chemical schedule.
The committee plans to go down
through the list, taking new schedule
every other day until all have been
covered Most of the Democratic ma
jority of the present ways and means
committee will go into the next Con-
gress. When the tariff hearings are
ended, the Democratic members of the
committee will devote themselves in
their daily executive sessions to the
formulation of tentative tariff legisla-
ton, which they hope to have ready by
March l5..
While the Democratic tariff is to be
based ON the revenue needed to run the
government, it fully is understood that
the probable result upon important
American Industries will be taken into
consideration in reducing any of the
present protective tariff rates. APPROX
mateIy one third of the governments in
come, about S330,000O00, is received
from the tariff, but in many of the
schedules, the Democratic plans for re-
duction in rates would result in an in
crease OF revenue, because of the increase
of imports that would follow.

WOMAN WAS QUESTIONED.
At Secret Inquiry Relating to Jewelry
Theft 1t Is Thought.

Rutland, Pan. 6.--There was an in
quiry before Judge Edwin Horton of
Chittenden at the county courthouse in
this city Saturday afternoon relative
to the case OF Arthur Poirer and George
Hooper, the alleged detectives and bur-
glars, who are now in Chittenden county
Jail. These are the two men who es-
tabIished an office in this city and,
while paradng under the guise of detec-
tiyes, are said to have broken into the
Proctor and Fair Haven railway stations
and committed other similar otfenses in
this vicinity.
The Rutland county authorities have
heretofore had little to do with the
prosecutions of these men other than to
identify them for the Burlington Off
GERS. The inquiry was conducted by
States Attorney i. L. Stafford. There
was only one witness, Young woman,
said to he sister of one of the respond
EMS. It is supposed that the purpose
of the hearing was to recover stolen jew
edly.
