GERMANY SENDS REGRETS.

PARIS, June 4.-The reply of the
German government to Spain regard
ing the attack by a German subma-
rine on a Spanish steamer Patricio,
says a Havas dispatch from Madrid,
is understood to be extremely cordial
The German note declares that the
ship was not t~orpedoed and hat the
submarine had no intention of sink
ing her, but simply wanted to stop
her.
As the ship did not stop, the note
adds, the submarine fired the shell
which struck the hull of the Patrieio'
The German government, it is said.
expressed regret over the death of the
engineer on the Spanish boat, and is
prepared to pay an idemnity to his
family.
The German government in lts
note, the dispatch adds. says II never
had any intention of causing injury
to Spain or insult to the Spanish flag
If the explanation should be deemed
insufficient Germany is disposed TO
do honor to the Spanish flag, on the
first possible occasion German war
ships will file past a Spanish ship,
which will hoist the Spanish flag and
each German ship will fire a salute
of 81 guns. 100

SENATE COMMITTEE FOR ,
PER CT. ADVERTISING TAX

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The
senate finance committee mas
tentatively decided to tax ad-
vertising in all newspapers and
periodicals two per cent. The
committee is considering eN-
empting those newspapers whose
yearly profits do not exceed
$4,000. The committee fgures
it can raise fifteen million dol
} lars annually with a two per
} cent advertising tax. In the
} opinion of a majority of the
committee an advertising tax is
preferable to an increase in sec
, ond class postage rates.

President of Reading Company Sure

w. ]. Richards, president of the
Reading Coal and Iron company,
announced in Pcttsville, Pa, that
it is the expectation Of the COM
pany to make the customary summer
discounts Of thirty cents in June,
twenty cents in July, and ten cents in
August, the same as in previous years.
Every effort is being made to in
sure the largest possible production
of coal from the Mines lie said. "1t
is our opinion that sufficient coal can
be produced this year to care fer the
normal needs of all users of anthra'
cite coal.
Incorporation by the consumers in
avoiding the stocking of coal for their
needs for excessive periods would
greatly assist in caring for the stu
alton. If this is observed there will
be sufficient coal at all times for nor.

Peelers for Tanneries to Make So a

This summer the men are offered
Sc a cord, which will enable many Of
them to take as high as So a day. This
is more than double the amount they
could make five years ago.
Leather manufacturers, who use the
bark for tanning, are also paving the
highest price in industry. Only few
years ago they could bny hemlock
bark for from S. to So a cord; but to-
day they are compelled to pay from
$1,000 to s12. The price Of chemical

rounding forests this summer will be
Ia excess of s1,00000O.

Ennine Blows Up; Five Dead.

Five men, an entire crew of a P. R.
R. Freight, were killed when the loco
motive was blown to pieces at Fourty-
fourth and Thompson streets, Philadel-
phia.
Although the police thought the ex-
plosion suspicious, railroad officials
disagree. They believe the engine
man or fireman permitted the water
to get too low in the boiler, and that
one or perhaps both, were negligent
or careless.
The dead are: Joseph A. Coyle, en-
gineman; r. w. Hagce, fireman; Will
liam F. Kelly, conductor; Thomas Nc
-Gowan, brakeman; Charles Hornickel,
brakeman.
Residents within a mile Of the
freight yards were aroused. Windows
were shattered bric-a-brac in houses
near the yard was smashed, and peo-
pie were tossed from bed.
The boiler Of the locomotive land-
ed several hundred feet away. The
remainder Of the engine was shatter-
ed, and big pieces of steel, including
sections of the wheels, were hurled
in all directions.

DRAFT BILL AGAIN
PASSES SENATE
Army Measure Now Goes to
Conference.
DISPUTE ON AGE LIMITS
All Attempts to Amend the Bill IN
the Senate Were efeated-Con"
ferees Named.

The administration army bill, with
the conscription provision retained,
was passed anew by the senate, with
out a roll-cali.
1t stands virtually as approved by
the senate Saturday.
The senate directed that the house
be asked to appoint conferees. Sena-
tors Chamberlain, Democrat, Oregon;
Hitchcock, Democrat, Nebraska, and
Warren, Republican, Wyoming, were
named as the senate's conferees.
The two houses passed different
drafts of the bill Saturday Both
drafts provided for raising an army Dy
conscription, but with certain other pro.
visions which are at variance. These
must be reconciled before the measure
goes to the president.
An attempt to amend the bill to re-
cruit troops for the present emergen-
cy" instead of the "existing war; was
beaten before the bill was passed the
second time. Some senators did not
feel they would authorize a draft in
war other than against Germany.
Senator Lafollette, Republican, WIS.,
consin, introduced an amendment for
national conscription referendum.
The senator spoke, opposing the
draft as un-American. The amend
ment afterward was rejected, sixty
eight to four. Senators Gore, Demo-
cratic, Oklahoma; Gronna, Republican,
North Dakota; Vardaman, Democrat,
Mississippi, and Lafollette voted for
1t.
Republican senators hope the house
will yield in its opposition to the Har-
ding amendment, authorizing accep-
tance of Colonel Roosevelt's offer to
raise an army division for service In
France.
The chief point Of difference In the
drafts is in the conscription age limi-
tations. The senate will instruct Its
conferees to hold out for the lim-
it's of twenty-one and twenty-seven
years. The house IS insisting on an
age limitation Of from twenty-one to
forty years. Indications are compro-
mise may be reached.
Senator McCumber, Republican,
North Dakota, offered an amendment
to strike out Of the bill the clause
exempting from conscription members
of religious sects opposed to war.
This was defeated, fifty-four to seven
teen.
Senator Reed Democrat, Missouri,
denounced the amendment, passed as
part of the bill authorizing acceptance
of Colonel Roosevelt's offer to raise
a division Of volunteers for immediate
service in France.
An amendment by Senator Gronna
to prohibit manufacture during the
war of agricultural products into (liqu-
or was rejected without a record vote.
Senator Wteks, Republican, Massa-
chusetts, offered an amendment to au-
thorize the president to accept for for
eign service company of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Of Boston.
This was rejected by viva voca vote.
