LARGER TARIFF REVISION VOTE Republican Gains in the Late Elec tion Were Made in the Agri- ^ cultural Districts. Ante-Election Promises MadeThe Effect of the Speakership on Revision. Jhe President Said to Be Opposed to DelayPoliticians May Be Otherwise. .Worn The Journal Bureau. Bom *S. Pf* Buildim/, Washington. Washington, Nov. 10Shall there be an extra session of the fifty-eighth con gress next spring, to begin the work of tariff revision or shall the matter go o'ver until after the presidential campaign, a tariff commission being appointed mean while to take the question up and prepare a report for congress in December, 19049 It is an open secret that in every close district in the north the republican man ageis were compelled to instruct their Bpeakers to promise revision at an early day. In these districts the tariff was the principal issue, and the independent voters wanted to know what the repub lican party proposed to do about it These instructions were made after careful re view of the situation, and because there jwas nothing else that would answer , The personnel of the fifty-eighth con gress will make tariff actioa easier than Jt would be in the present body Repub lican gains m the late election were made in the agricultural districts the losses occurred in the cities In other words, there will be in the next congress a larger republican revision vote than there is in this one. The agricultural voter, as a rule, favors lower duties, the city voter, higher duties. Each is controlled by sel fish lntetrests. The agricultural com munity never sees where it gains any thing directly from protection, and it views the gradual increase in pricese with hostility. The city community is more or less under the influence of the protected manufacturer, who sees a continuation of prosperity and big profits so long as the duties are not lowered The manufac turer creates sentiment wherever ho can among his employes and the laboring peo ple generally, who furnish the bulk of all city voters, and republican con gressmen from this territory are al most Invariably against revision Con gressmen from the agricultural districts, on the other hand, are almost invariably In favor of revision. Republican losses in the cities this year were made up by Sains In the country, and to that extent there will be an increase of revision sen timent in the fifty-eighth congress among republicans, as compared with that sen jtiment in the present congress. I But what will be done? Conservative men are already begin ning to say that the republican party will not ask for a special session next spring, but will wait until a year from this time, when the fifty-eighth congress is about to meet regularly, and then begin to talk in favor of the appointment of a tariff com mission, which will be kept busy over the {residential campaign. Such action on ts face would be a slight victory for the antl-revisionlsts, although it would only postpone action for a time but it might be compromise ground on which both Ides could unite. The more radical tariff reformers among republicans are saying that the president will be strongly urged in his message next month to take notice of the sentiment in favor of revision, as it was developed through the republican congressional committee, and to promise a special ses sion next March If there is no special Bession there will be no revision until after 19r4 That is admitted on all sides Opinion between these two positions is fs rett equally divided at this time It not divided, however, regarding the proposition that the congressional elec tion was won this vear on the definite promise of the republican managers that revision woula be brought about, added to the well-known fact that the president at heart favors It. This will be suffioient to accomplish the result, the only ques tion, as already stated, is when will the Work be taken up? The Speakership and the Tariff. Another Interesting question is. who Will be the speaker of the fifty-eighth con gress? The indications at this time point to "Unole Joe" Cannon, of Illinois, for years the chairman of the great commit tee on appropriations. Dalsell Is particularly close to the great ateel corporation, and it is commonly re ported that this gigantic Interest has had gnore to do than any other with keeping falm In congress. Payne is equally close to the high protective interests of New "JTork and N ew England The election of either to the speakership would be a posi tive negative of the pledge made in the late campaign by the republican man agers, that revision should be brought about at the earliest possible day. The man who Is elected speaker of the fifty-eighth congress would be re-elected to the speakership of the fifty-ninth should that body be republicanand it probably will be. for it will be elected in the presidential yearand the revision entlment'of the country, as it will be re flected In the body which was elected last ^Tuesday, will hardly permit the selec tion of a man who is not an avowed and Jong-time friend of their position. In this connection the charge has been made that Cannon is also against re Vision but that is not true. On account Of his being chairman of the committee on Appropriations, it has been necessary for Cannon to occupy a neutral attitude on JhlB question, so far as public utterances |u-e concerned, but his close friends pledge Mm to revision whenever congress and the president get ready for it. In addition to the three names men tioned, half a dozen others have been used, with more or less seriousness, in connection with the speakership. Mc Cleary and Tawney of Minnesota, Bab- Pains in the Back Are symptoms of a weak, torpid or stagnant condition of the kidneys or liver, and are a warning it is ex tremely hazardous to neglect, so important is a healthy action of these organs. They are commonly attended by loss of energy, lack of courage, and sometimes by gloomy foreboding and despondency. "I had pains in my back, could not Bleep and when I got up in the morning felt worse than the night before. I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla and now I can sleep and get up feeling rested and able to do my work. I attribute my cure en tirely to Hood's Sarsaparilla " Mrs. J. N. Perry, care of H. S. Copeland, Pike Road, Ala. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Cure kidney and liver troubles, re lieve the baok, and build up the whole system. Take Hood's. f f lit "Ak MOMDAT EVEHINO, cock of Wisconsin, Cushman of Washing ton, Hemenway of Indiana, are a few of them. Mr. Hemenway will be satisfied with the chairmanship of the appropria tions committee, which will come to him on the retirement of Cannon. The other names have never been considered in con nection with the place by those who speak seriously, and it Is very evident that they have not been consulted in that use. The President's Views. President Roosevelt's revision senti ments were clearly outlined in his Log ansport speech, when he favored a tariff commission. Evidently, he would not have expressed himself as he did if he had felt revision was not necessary. It is now said that he would have spoken even stronger than he did but for his desire not to offend the high protection interests of the east on. the eve of a con gressional election. The president, it is said, would rather have revision come on before the presi dential election, which means an extra session next spring, believing that the re publican party would be stronger in that contest with revision an accomplished fact But he will consult the party man agers east and west, and if in his mes sage he adheres to the commission plan, without suggesting the desirability of a special sessionthis wouid carry revision over the presidential campaignit will be for reasons of party and public policy. Personally, it is well understood that he does not want any delay The Election a Blow at Bryan. In the last analysis the democratic party in this campaign was making, per haps all unconsciously, its final and suc cessful effort to throw off the Bryan in cubus, but in doing that it simply gave the republicans everything that was in sight in all of the states outside the "solid south " It was a mixed contest, so fai as the democrats were concerned, in the east Tammany pulled itself to gether, and made a record-breaking run in Greater New York, insuring its promi nent participation in democratic affairs of the future. In the east, also, notably in New England, the democrats were run ning without leference to Bryan and the last two national platforms. In the west, here and there, the Bryan influence was paramount in partv councils, and the managers adhered to it as best they could, even going to the length of having Brvan indorsed in state platforms The election has clarified the democratic sit uation amazingly. Bryanism is dead, re pudiated by the party managers of the east before the election, and by its former friends in the west at the polls. In 1904 the party will undoubtedly pull itself together for work on a reconstructed basis, with Brvan counted out, and the Tammany influence dictating platform and candidates. . The question naturally arises, what if this had been a presidential year? With every northern and western state going republican, save Nevada, the electoral col lege would have shown a larger republican majority than it did either time for Mc Kinlev With this fact in mind, some idea of the landslide proportions of the victory may be had. It is the heaviest blow ever struck an opposition party in this country within the memory of those now alive, excepting, possibly, one campaign during the civil war But if it has rid the democratic party of the Bryan incubus, it will not have been struck in vain. With Bryan out of the way, the democratic party has a future, and it should have, for as a prominent republican remarked to-day: "I cannot imagine a greater disaster for the country than the destruction of its opposition party. If that party has been foolish, it must suffer the conse quences, as the democratic party is now suffering them But under proper lead ership, and with sound principles back of it, it will revive and make itself again a power in the country's political life. As a republican, I hope the day of this re vival is not far distant " W. W. Jermane. CANAL MATTERS Colombia Presenting No mountable Obstacles. Washington, Nov. 10.Secretary Hay was in conference to-day with Senator Cullom, chairman of the senate commit tee on foreign relations, and also with Senator Morgan, the senior member of the minority of the same committee. Canal matters were under discussion and the secretary was able to show that sub stantial progress is making toward the completion of a treaty with the Colombian government conveying the necessary rights for the construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. In face, so well have the negotiations progressed lately between Secretary Hay and Senor Concha, the Colombian minister, that it is now expected that by the end of the present week all of the phases of the proposition will have been disclosed and little will remain to be done but to con clude the convention It can be stated that the attitude of the Colombian nego tiators presents no insurmountable obsta cle an dthat a treaty can be framed ac ceptable to both sides, vet in strict con formity with the spirit of the Spooner act.

' THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL' SERVICE THAT WlftS Rare Comfort and Luxury Offered Travelers by the H. & St. L. * f "North Star limited."/ $ | Party of Twin City Newspaper Men Make Chicago TripGuests of K. R. Officials. Under the charge of A E. Cutts, en-" eral passenger agent of the Minneapolis & St. Louis road, the- new North Star Limited train was duly christened by a partv of twin city newspaper men, who left Minneapolis Saturday evening at 7.45 and returned this morning at 8 15. The visitors were handsomely entertained yesterday by the Illinois Central officials who met the party at ihe station and car ried out a well considered plan for the day. The hosts were A. H, Hanson, gen eral passenger agent, S. Q. Hatch, assist ant general passenger agent and H. R. Bishop, city passenger agent They were aided in their plan by the good fortune of an ideal day, warm and sunny. At the station guests and hosts took passage In NEW jMOxtJCR STAE LIMITED Tt*w^ MARK It was not until after the name had been se lected for the Minneapolis & St. Loois' new train that it was suggested that the terminal points of the system as they lay on the map represented the points of a star. The idea has been worked out as the accompanying cut shows and it forms such a handsome and ap propriate trade mark that it mav supersede the old emblem of the whole svstem, which has not the significance of the new device. electric automobiles which made a long and pleasant tour of the south and north park systems of Chicago. Speeding along over smoothly paved boulevards and through beautiful parkways, the visitors saw the big city at its best. The warm day had filled the parks with well dressed pleasure seekers who in carriages and au tomobiles, on wheels or motorcycles, afoot or on horseback were enjoying the day. Shortly before 2 o'clock the electric ve hicles drew up in front of the Chicago Athletic club's magnificent eight-story, million dollar home. Here the members of the party refreshed themselves, some of them even enjoying a plunge in the club's fine swimming pool. At 2 o'clock the party sat down to a well conceived, happily executed and faultlessly served course luncheon, at which the special host was Mr. Hatch, who is a leading member of the club. The occasion was entirely informal, but Mr. Hatch thoroughly demonstrated his good fellowship and fine qualities as a genial host. After the cigars and cof fee and the yarns had been finished, the party adjourned to the sumptuous loung ing room where the club's regular Sunday afternoon orchestral concert was enjoyed until train time. The trip home was made speedily and comfortably on sched ule time and the guests separated this morning on arrival after giving Individual and hearty expression to their apprecia tion of the abounding hospitality of Mr. Cutts and the St. Louis road. Insnr- The Minneapolis & St. Louis road has done a great thing for Itself by making the new connection with the Illinois Cen tral on Chicago business. Not only has It shortened its line so that, with its present equipment, It can compete with any line, but it has also gained access to terminal facilities whose convenience will be In stantly appreciated by the traveling pub lic. Starting from Minneapolis, the pas senger on the North Star Limited can go to St. Louis without change, or can reach New York, Cincinnati,' New Orleans or anv important intermediate point with no more than the trouble of stepping from one train to another in the same station. Baggage transfers are eliminated, danger of loss or delay is thus prevented, and the passenger 3aves worry and tme. For from the big Illinois Central station on the Chi cago lake front run daily trains to all parts of the great Illinois Central system. This means the choice of practically two routes to N ew Orleans and southern points. In addition, this big station houses the trains of the^Mlchlgan Central M.C The Latest of the Limited*. The North Star Limited has the advan tage of being the latest train to leave the Pullman shops and consequently era bodies all the newest ideas as to comfort and luxury. It is notable that the car building artists are working back to sim plicity in design and that by employing the richest of materials the effect is even more pleasing than the ginger-bready fashions of a few years ago. This same simplicity has also a high utilitarian value, for It is one of the greatest aids to clean liness and freshness. The deep, heavy carvings that gather dust are never missed when one is confronted instead by a won derfully beautiful panel of curly ma hogany polished like the top of a piano. As the North Star train leaves Minne apolis, it carries three cars for Chicago, in addition to cars for other points which are "kicked off" en route. Of the Chi cago equipment the unusually commodious buffet and library car will appeal most forcibly to the masculine traveler who !- much on the road. This car is seventy feet long, the forward one-third being devoted to baggage. The remainder of the space is de\oted to a luxurious lounging room. Movable wicker chairs enable one to change one's position as often as one de sires, while a goodly assortment of new periodicals provide against ennui. There are card tables here and a buffet wen stocked and well tended. The large ob servation windows will be appreciated during the daylight portion , of the run while, after dark, abundant light Is sup plied by Pintsch gas. The color scheme of this car is a clean, cool green for the domed ceiling, contrasting beautifully with the rich, warm tones of rare tropic woods. Tho combination compartment and sec tioi sleeper is not surpassed for comfort, roominess and elegance by any car ever placed at the disposal of twin city travel era. It has the same domed ceilings and is in the- same tones as the buffet car, but tb.2 requirements of the car hav enabled the builders to make a more extended dis play of good taste in arrangement and ornamentation. There are three com partments with all the conveniences and In addition the body of the car provides space for eight roomy sections. And all this is done without the slightest apparent sacrlfief of space in other ways. The toi let rooms arrangements, if anything, are more spacious than usual in Pullman cars of the standard type. Fo" those who do not desire to take a sleeper an elegant and comfortable chair car is provided which runs through to Chicago. 12n route to Chicago a cafe dining car is attached at Freeport, 111., for break fast and dinner Is served westbound from Chicago in the evening. The diner is part of the Illinois Central equipment and is one of the best examples of the high standard of service maintained by that system. " * ' *v STMUl THE NORTH STAR t: LIMITED ST.L. R.R. The New Route. STiQvi* and of the JBlg JSVjur^iip that the traveler can conveniently strike any* important point in the United States from this great clearing-house of travel, in which, the Minneapolis & St. Louis road has now be come a factor. This feature will be wel comed not only by travelers* much on the road, but, also by ladles traveling alone, for the Illinois Central station attendants are mightily courteous and thoughtful of travelers' comfort and safety. The Minneapolis & St. Louis has not onl\ Improved Its service for through business, but by its new route with the Illinois Central has opened a new territory for Minneapolis. There is a strong bond of symi%thy between Minneapolis and Rockford, 111., for Instance. Scandinavian interests are strong in each place, and the big furniture trade of Rockford takes many m en between that point and the large Minneapolis market, Formerly it was'like gfoing round Rribln Hoodcs to go from Minneapolis to Rockford, and the trip was costly both in fare and time. Now the passenger simply boards his train at Minneapolis and goes right through without delay. Freeport, 111., is another good point similarly pulled closer to Min neapolis,' and these advantages of the new route have been aparent from the first in well loaded trains. There is but little new track on the new route, the larger part of the way being over old construction, which accounts for the last time made by the new train. The Minneapolis & St. Louis is working to make conditions even bet ter, as evidenced by the work between Hopkins and Chaska, now nearly com pleted. In this stretch there were origi nally twenty-two curves. When the pres ent work, which will cost $500,000, is done there will be but two, and, besides that, all heavy grades will be reduced to the lowest practicable minimum.

Every Effort Hade to Take Advant age of the Great Lakes Be fore Freezing^ Prom The Journal Bureau, Room 48, Pes\ Building, Waehington. Washington, Nov. 10.The coal situa tion of Washington is becoming critical. Word comes from Philadelphia that the output is going in large quantities to the north and west via the great lakes, and that shipments are unusually heavy in order to get as much through as possible before the close of navigation for the sea son, which will be near the middle of the month. N ew York also complains because of these heavy shipments west. Only fif ty-three tons of coal have come to Wash ington since the strike was settled, save what came for the WWte House and the public schools. The cool snap of Sunday and to-day is making the people very un easy. Dealers are unable to make any promises as to the arrival of fuel, but says that none of any consequence will be here until the holidays. New York expects only small shipments until the middle of December. THE ISLE OF PINES Americans Who Settled There Are in a Peck of Trouble. Washington, Nov. 10.The question of control of the Isle of Pines was brought to-day directly to the attention of Presi dent Roosevelt. A delegation consisting of 8. H. Pearcy, J. H. Randall, T. J Keena and J. H. Hi!}, all citizens of the United States residing ln.the Isle .of Pines, was introduced to the president by Senator Cullom of Illinois, chairmanNof the senate committee on, foreign relations. It was shown that the party represented more than 300 citizens jbt the United States who have taken residence in the Isle of Pines. Many have made large Investments on the island in land and improvements un-, - der the belief that thetlnlted States would|| control It. The president was informed that more than half of the island is owned by American citizens. As a result of the turning over of the Isle of Pines to the republic of fcub?i for administrative purposes, things are said by the delegation to be in a chaotic state on the island. There is not a notary public or a judicial officer on the island. The dele gation is informed that the republic of Cuba claims the Isle of Pines and pur poses to establish prisons, penal colonies and a leper hospital there. Such a course, if pursued, the delegation indicated to the president, would wipe out every dollar in vested In the Island. President Roosevelt promised to consider the subject, but Indicated no line of pro cedure he was likely to take. The dele gation later called on Secretary Hay and Secretary Root. $20,000,000 CHURCH Catholic Clergymen of New York Want to Build It.

Spooner left last night for Washington, where he went to intercede with President Roosevelt in behalf of Hobart S Bird, arrested in Porto Rico on a charge of libelling Judge Ramos of the San Juan district court. Hobart S. Bird in his paper, the San Juan News, sought to correct abuses al leged to exist in the insular government, abuses which extended to the district court. This court, previous to the pro ceedings leading up to the conviction and imprisonment of the young editor, is al leged to have been dominated by Judge Ramos, whose character was attacked in the News, and who finally resigned his seat on the bench. Largely through the articles published in Mr. Bird's paper intense feeling against the insular government had been stirred among the people of Porto Rico, the federal party -supporting Mr. Bird, and Las Turbas vio lently opposing him and his contentions. Sensational episodes occurred during the agitataion. At one meeting of the federal party many shots were fired and three men were killed Shortly after an other meeting was held, which was ad dressed by Mr. Bird amid great disorder. Mrs. Bird attended this meeting in com pany with a party of twenty-one senor itas, all of whom deserted her in the face of the tumult and fled from the place. Mrs. Bird stood her ground bravely, how ever, and heard her husband to the end. A description of this furnished by the young woman herself, forms an Interest ing portion of Colonel Bird's letter.

THE NEGRO PERRY HELD He Is the Man Who Pawned the Watches and Identified Mason. ! Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 10.George Lu O. Perry, the negro who admits that he pawned the watches taken from Clara A. Morton and Agnes McPhee who were mur dered in Waverly and Somerville last month, was taken to court to-day After a conference between the state of ficers and JudgetCharles Almy, Perry was ordered held as a witness against Mason. His bail was fixed at $1,000. It Is understood that the decision of the police to hold Perry\as a witness Instead of arraigning him as an accessory was due chiefly to the fact that as a witness Perry can not only give testimony against Mason, but can be forced to tel lof his own movements and every relation he has had with others during the time the as saults have been committed in Cambridge Somerville and other suburbs. Under an arrangement made by Judge Almy and the police, both Mason and Perry will appear in court to-morrow. So complicated has the case become that both the commonwealth and the de fense will ask for another continuance in order that they may have time for con tinued investigation. The Cambridge police are now strongly of the opinion that there is another negro who knows something of the whole case, particularly about the watches. He is older than Perry and is blacker. The man for whom the police are hunt ing has been missing since the arrest of Alan G. Mason. d Perry Identifies Mason. Boston, Nov. 10.George L. O. Perry, the negro who pawned the watches taken from the murdered women, Miss Clara A. Morton and Miss Agnes McPhee, has de clared that Alan G. Mason is the man from whom he received these articles. Perry was taken to the jail in East Cambridge, where Mason is confined. In one of the jail corridors, Perry positively Identified Mason as the man who had given him the two watches Mason, by neither look nor word, betrayed any knowledge of having seen Perry before. When questioned by Sheriff Fairbairn, Mason merely said: "I do not know this man I never saw him before." Perry will be arraigned as accessory after the fact. He had been confined at the layman school for boys, having been convicted for assault and robbery upon a young woman. Also It has come to light that on Sun day, July 27, Perry, then employed as the driver of a mall wagon from Cambridge to Boston, did not work. This was the date of an assault.upon Miss Ellen Mur phy.

He closed his writings by saying: "I leave the world with kindness to all men and at peace with my mind, with no fears of an angry God, and no hope or desire for any pleasures as a gift from His hand." The sermon written by the dead man was a lenghty one, and outside of his peculiar views on religion contained some beautiful thoughts. Through his long business career he was never heard to utter one word against the church, and his own sermon, which was to be opened and read only on the day of his funeral, came as a great surprise.
