Count Tail-; landier came over on the French cruiser La Londe of Tangier and joined M. Revoil, head of the French mission. [Later the count had talks with Ambassador White and other del- egates. His presence is considered to relate to the private discussions going on between the delegates on the main Franco-German issue.

The ambassadors say that the outlook con- tinues hopeful, but they admit that the efforts of the disinterested powers are not yet resulting in securing an exact basis for accord. The German dele- gates declare that the reports .that they are not in favor ‘of a moderate policy are unwarranted and that it is they who are most desirous of concil- jation. The French, however, insist that the Germans maintain an attitude lacking in preciseness. BULL FIGHT TO AMUSE_ ENVOYS.

HIS RESOLUTION CAUSES SENSATION ASSERTS ACTION TAKEN A PLAIN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL CONSTITUTION. Washington, Feb. 6.—Mr. Patlerson (Colo.) caused a sensation in the sen- ate by introducing a resolution rela- tive to the rights of senators in voting upon treaties. Mr. Patterson’s resolution recited that the action of the Democratic cau- cus in dictating fo senators how they should vote was a plain violation of the spirit and intent of the Constitu- tion of the United States; that each senator was entitled to one vote and any attempt to coerce him was an in- vasion of the rights of a state; that any senator who permits himself to be so coerced weakens and degrades his state; that for any senator to vote otherwise than as his sense of duty dictates degrades his high office and agsails the dignity and standing of the senate. The resolution was listened to with great interest by the senators. Mr. Lodge had prepared a resolution similar to that of Senator Patierson, declaring that a treaty like the Domin- ican should not be made the subject of party action, but withheld it when he heard that Mr. Patterson had prepared a resolution. This he heard from the lips of the Colorado senator, who claimed the privilege of presenting the matter. Mr. Lodge conceded the su- periority of Mr. Patterson’s claim. Mr. Tillman objected to the present consideration of the Patterson reso- lution unless it was a question of per- sonal privilege. Mr. Patterson said it was not and gave notice that he would discuss the resolution’ Tater. e S OPPOSES RATE REGULAT‘IO‘N}N Littlefield (Me.) Speaks Against Pend- ing Measure. ‘Washington, Feb. 6.—An hour to op- pose the railroad rate bill was yielded to Mr. Littlefield (Me.) in the house. Mr. Littlefield believed that the pic- tures of distress painted by advocutes of rate legislation were entirely toc lurid. The railroads undoubtedly had made mistakes, but conditions were not intolerable. On the other hand, he said, the interstate commerce com- mission had made many blunders. ‘The proposed legislation, he believed, went too far and he should vote against it. He had been willing: to go as far as the president had recommended in 1904 and 1965. Nof a member of the house, he maintained, could say what is a reasonable rate. There is not a single case in any court record or any rule on which a reasonable rate could be defined. This was one of the great and tremendous difficulties the Dbill prresented and indicated the vast and arbitrary power that was to be vested in a political fribanal. In the zeal running a legislative race they had gone far beyond the president’s de- A remedy for nine-tenths of rate evils, he said, now exists in ail courts, both under present law and the common law. Mr. Stevens (Minn.) spoke in favor of the Dbill and Grosvenor (0.) fol- lowed in opposition to the measure. WALLACE ON THE STAND. Former Chief Engineer of Canal Be- fore Senate Committee. Washington, Feb. 6.—John F. Wal- lace was before the senate inter- oceanic canal committee during the day and made a statement regarding the canal commnission. In it he spoke of the violent attaci of Secretary Taft and Mr. Cromwell, the only basis of which was a difference of opinion be- tween himself and Taft and Cromwell and his own justified his resignation. He was liable to be dismissed at any time by telegraph. He came North to have a private talk with Secretary ‘Paft, which was denied. He referred to the statement made in reply to Sec- retary Taft and incorporated in his present statement. He asked to be excused from any statement as to the type of canal until he had read the majority and minority report of the consulting engineers. William S.

AD HOPE OF AGREEMENT P O [ FBELING OF PESSIMISM IN GER- _ ANY OVER TARIFF DISPUTE WITH UNITED STATES. CANNOT ACCEPT LATTER’S. PROPOSAL BUT BERLIN OFFICIALS ARE WILL- ING TO MAKE CONCESSIONS TO MAINTAIN PEACE. Beriin, Feb. 6.—Inquiries made at the foreign office regarding the Ger- man-American tariff question elicited the information that this government is very pessimistic, even doubting that it will be possible to get a pro- visional arrangement from the United States which Germany could accept. Germany is anxious to avoid a tariff war and would go to great lengths in making concessions which would ren- dei' a temporary arrangement possible till a further treaty could be nego- tlated, but it is evident that the for- eign office regards the suggestions hitherto made by the United States as unsatisfactory. It was learned at the foreign office that the bundesrath has not yet considered Germany’s course after March 1 (when the new German tariff goes into effect), in the event of uo arrangement having been made be- Lween the two countries. But some- thing is expected to occur within a few days in the negotiations heiween the United States and Germany which will tend towards clearing up the sit- uasion. ; ’5*‘ Rushing Grain Shipments. ntwerp, Belgium, Feb. 6.—This port is crowded with American grain steamers, which are arriving in record numbers in order to unload their car- goes and dispatch them to Germany before the approaching imposition of higher grain duties there.

The destination of these troops re- mains a headquariers secret, but the only explanation of the order. is that ihey are to be held in readiness for a China expedition at the first warning of an outbreak. Those who camne on the Logan asked first for news from China, as they said that most of the information on the subject which was carrent in the Philippines came by the way of Wash- ington. The officers of the troops under field orders have made preparations to leave on twenty-four hours’ notice and their expectation is that they will be sent to Peking. SUES FOR A MILLION. Long Island Man Names .Wealthy Defendants. Mineola, 1. I, Feb. 6.—Charles W.

Gould, Stuyvesant Fish, Perry Bel- mont, James H. Hyde and James W. Alexander, formier president of the Equitable Life Assurance society, and others. This amount he claims is due him in stocks and bonds of the United States Shipbuilding comvany, which Maver says he deposited with the Commonwealth Trust company.

PACKERS' TRIAL. Attorney General Assisting Counsel for Government. Chicago, Feb. 6.—Attorney General i ‘William H. Moody was an interested observer at the trial of the immunity pleas advanced by the packers. He evidenced great interest in the case, frequently whispering suggestions to District Attorney Morrison, who is con- ducting the case for the government. | C. M. MacFariane, office manager of | the Fairbanks Canning company, was on the stand. His evidence related en- tirely to the number and character of the books which he had shown to the agents of the government who made the investigation under the direction of Commissioner Garfield. The witness identified a number of papers which he declared were the requisitions issued by Commissioner Garfield and his agents for the produc- tion of certain books. The attorneys several limes argued over the admis- sibility and genuineness of the docu- ments and in consequence the exam- ination of the witness was slow and tedious. During a recess of court Attorney General Moody said in reply to ques- tions: “I nolice that the attorneys for the packers have produced.evidence to the effect that Comumissioner Garfield said that he would not give to the depart- ment of justice the information he secured from the packers. If he ever said that he certainly kept his word for the department of justice never received any information from him. Neither did we receive information from the president, nor from any of the subordinate officers of the depart- ment of corporations.” Lady Grey Is Dead.

CAPTURED AT RACINE, WIS, Man Accused of Reaping Fortune by Forgeries. Houghton, Mich., Feb. 6.—Iugene Elkins, charged with wholesale for- geries throughout the entire copper country for a.period covering a year i and a half, and who, it is.alleged, is wanted for the same crime in Milwau- kee, Green Bay and Marinette, Wis., and in Menominee and Iron Mountain, Mich., was arrested in Racine, Wis., on information from the Houghton authorities and lodged in jail here. His arrest was due to the suspicions of a hotel clerk to whom he presented a check which on investigation was shown to be a forgery. His method, it is claimed, was to write himself letters, enclosing a forged check, which he mailed to a hotel in some other town. Upon reaching there ke would ask for his niail and then have the checks cashed by the clerk. It is believed he secured thousands of del- lars during his career on the range.
