The secretary's letter doesn't alter the
fact that we agreed by treaty to treai
all nations alike in connection with the
canal and that we also agreed by an
other treaty to submit all such questions
as this to arbitration
Senator Hitchcock said:
1.-THE reply of Secretary Knox demon

Congress practically voted to subsdize
American ships at the expense of the
taxpayers. He asserts that the loss falls
upon the American taxpayers and none
on British shipping. To my mind this
presents a reason for changing the law

Those who opposed arbitration are
pleased with the Knox note. Senator
Fletcher of Florida said:
Secretary Knox certainly is right in
saying that there has been no violation
of the treaty to date. do not favor
the arbitration of the toll question nor

TARIFF REVISION TO
|NJURE BUSINESS
Chairman Underwood Gives
Opinion Before the
Tariff Hearing
Yesterday

y
derwood of the House committee on ways
and means. announced emphaticaly at
the tariff hearing today that there was
no intention of cutting rates of duty so
low along competitive lines as to ruin the
business interests of the country. 1ie
took exception to intimations he attribu-
ted to republican members that the dem
ocratic majority of the committee pur-
posed to make rates that would disturb
business prosperity.
~ deny that there is any such inten-
tion,'' he said, following remarks of Rep
resentative Payne. ranking republican
member of the committee.
The committee which heard testimony
of many manufacturers and importers on
the flax, hemp and jute schedule was not
disposed to question the competitive char
acter and luxury classification of many
of the laces, embroideries and other art
icles in the schedule.
Mr.. Underwood took occasion to agree
with some of them that their competi-
tive status seemed to have been sus-
tanned, which is In favor of approximate
ly the same rates on many items.
The entire schedule is one of the most
profitable in the whole tariff scheme and
produced last year more than $4,000, coo
of revenue with duties averaging above
40 per cent ad valorem. Some OF these
articles will be reduced to stimulate COM
petition and bring revenue.
Export Tax Questioned
The Manila export tax law on Manila
hemp was questioned by the committee
when the subject was brought up by
Edwin ID. Metcalf of Auburn, n. y,
ope manufacturer. Mr.. Metcalf said the
duty was relic of the Spanish regime
in the Philippines and that the benefits
OF the refund allowed to importers in this
country operated to the benefit of the
American consumers. Mr.. Underwood
criticised it as bad law. 1t was sug-
gested that an export law anyway was
not in keeping with the spirit Of the
American constitution

London, January 24.-Some days must
elapse before the situation arising from
| the revolution in Constantinople be-
comes clear. AS far as may be judged
| there is no intention on the part of
the new Turkish government to force
matters or to resume hostilities II any
reasonable compromise with the Bal
kan allies is possible.
A dispatch from Constantinople' to-
night says the council of ministers sat
today to discus the reply they will
make to the note of the powers and it
! is believed this reply, while insisting
on the retention of Adrianople by Tur-
key, will point to Thursdays demon
stration as real manifestation of the
rational will.
The new government is finding diff
| ficulty in filling the post of foreign
minister. The portfolio has been Of
fered several of the Turkish ambassa-
dors abroad. but thus far all have de-
c1ined Until the ministry is completed
| by the appointment of Sheik- Ul-
Islam and foreign minister it is prob
able that no definite steps will be
taken. Developments in the situation
are awaited throughout Europe with
the greatest concern as danger might
arise through active Intervention by
| Russia.
Balkans to Wait
| The Balkan delegates to the peace
conference in London show no desire
for precipitate action. They have ac-
cepted the advice of the ambassadors
| of the powers to await the reply of
the new Turkish government to the
ambassadors note before forming any
resolution as to their future procedure.
| Opinion among the delegates Is
greatly divided Some maintain 1t is
useless to wait longer in view of de-
| velopments at Constantinople, which
are considered eloquent proof of the
attitude the new ministry intends to
take. Others take the view that IL is
impossible for Enver Bey to be taken
| seriously
In addition. they argue, the Young
Turks who lost power owing to the
absolute unpreparedness of the coun-
try under their regime in the war with
Italy cannot now have tse support of
majority of the PEOPLE as the same
unpreparedness for which they were
responsible has been further demon
strated to exist in the war with the
Balkan allies.
Work to Regain Power
Naturally the Younk Turks, some of
the delegates say, have worked very
hard to regain power. Their activity
has been especially marked in the army
but it is not believed the bulk of the
army Is ready TO support them and
these delegates think ii not impossible
that a counter revolution will undo
whatever was achieved by the Young
Turks Thursday Those of the dele
gates who do not think 1t wise to wait
longer say they consider it a pity to
let the present opportunity pass with
out giving Turkey a blow, taking ad-
vantage of the confusion ensuing by
reason of the revolution in Constanti-
nople.
AS a whole, however, the allies in
tend. IL possible, to wait for Turkeys
reply to the powers. and. il 1t is un-
satisfactory. to present an ultimatum

position of Adrianople and the Aegean
