Washington, Aug) 19. As the tariff
legislation progresses the members uf
Congress here are closely watching the
European publications, particularly
-those In the countries where manufac
turers are to toe brought Into competi
. tlon with American made "goods under
the Underwood competitive tariff, and
a.a yet nothing has been noted where
foreign manufacturers are claiming
any advantage in the American mar
ket that is going to be gained by them
as coon as the new bill le effective.
: On the other hand the tariff experts
of Europe forecast an era of competi
tion with American goods goods never
before on the shelves of European
atorekeepers.
The Status, of Ixmdon. one of those
atypical English publications; rioted for
its conservatism, aroused itself in a
i recent issue to saying: "In England
there Is no small amount of apprehen
sion that the reduction in American
duties will so assist American manu
facturers to" produce cheaply that not
:only will there be no increase in the
Quantity, of goods imported into the
States, but that American manufactur
icrs will be able to compete much more
Sauoeessfully than hitherto in neutral
markets. It is certain that the sub
istantial reduction In duties now pro-
posed will cause American manufac
turers who have derived effective pro
tection from the existing duties to
i overhaul their methods ' and to seek
jto make pood the loss of duties by
eeonmle in production. JTurther, it
is evident. that the reduction in duty
will tend to . reduce the cost of living
'ill the United States, and therefore will
: tend to remove one of the Justifiable
causes for the demand, for increasing
wages on the part of the workmen.
f, as seems probable, "American man
jafaeturers .are compelled to overhaul
phelr methods and to1 effect economies
fan the one hand, and at the same time
js-ain advantage from the reduction in
Abe cost of living to the working class
ics on the other ,lt is evident they will
biot only be able to hold their own in
itheir own market, but will be In a
! roach better position than hitherto to
.compete in the world's markets.
Further the English writer- ventures
'.to say that the early effect upon trade
may be adverse and he accounts for
.this statement by aying: "Obviously
persons not compelled to buy - goods
immediately win endeavor to postpone
itheir orders until tne new tanrr. is
aseed. and until the effect of the new
tariff Is felt, in the expectation that
fthev will be able to purchase goods at
lower prices. Whether they will be
table to do so or not Is another factor,
por factors other than tariff also influ
ence prices, and the level of prices at
w rlwAn winmmt 1 wftwafiifl i u rr art
eral economic considerations, " which
sometimes accentuate and sometimes
ixisutralize the effect of tariffs. Were
Anything to occur to affect the general
Wolame of trade throughout the world
jnnd to cause a fall In -the prices of
commoaities in general ana or agricul
tural products in particular, the lm
aports of goods into the United States
would probably fall off, notwithstand
ing a. lower tariff. -
"The prices of wheat and of other
agricultural produce, of which America
produces a substantial surplus, are
- j, , , - 1 n .uti .
consequently enjoy no measure of pro
jection, and if the prices of farmers'
rap plies are ' reduced the farming in
dustry win be rendered more profita
ble. The readjustment of the tariff
msu likely to render the farmer much
more prontaDie tnan it nas mtnerto
teen. having regard for expenditures
em well as income, and to assist in
burning the tide of population again
Ho the land. It should be noted that
ithe whole of the duties' on agricultural
products are not removed; but inas
much as America is an exporter of
ood and not an importer, the duties
ion food are ineffective for protective
purposes.
"The removal of the duty on coal will
of substantial advantage to the
Western states, where coal has to 'be
Imported from Canada, and where the
irJuty has seriously affected the cost.
"By removing- some of the duties,
President Wilson expects to place the
American consumer in the same fa
rvorable position as foreign buyers. For
Instance typewriters are an American
rpeclalty, and it is Improbable that
ny typewriters will be imported into
ithe States in consequence of the re
moval of the duty. At the same time
1t Is evident- that the price of type
writers in the States must In future
Compare not -unfavorably with the
prices In foreign markets. The same
comment would be made on almost
every other article placed on the free
fl!st except where the reductions are
intended to help manufacturers. We
need only to refer to steel rails as a
further example. The capacity of
(American manufacturers to produce
steel rails is practically unlimited; ap
parently In future the price of steel
rails in the States will conform much
nore 'closely than "hitherto to world
quotations. The advantage of the re
duct Ion In the duty on steel rails will
eerue directly to American railways,
nd Indirectly to the whole country,
s the higher the cost of railway work
Jng the higher is the cost of transport
ation. The most Important item placed
fcn the free list Is wool. Hitherto .this
as been the one commodity which has
fierlved some advantage to compensate
JLhem for the heavy burden Imposed

Meanwhile Washington
Marks Time .
Washington, Aug.' r 19 Charge
OShaughnessy cabled Secretary Bryan
from Mexico City, , early today, that
President Huerta, through- v Foreign
Minister Gam-boa, emphatically denied
there was "any1 foundation whatever"
for the statement that Huerta has is
sued an ultimatum, to the United
States demanding recognition with the
alternative of handing Mr. O'Shaugh
nessy his passports.
A despatch from John -Lind inform
ed President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan that he had been in confer
ence with Provisional President Huerta
at an early hour, today. He character
ized his reception and conference with
Huerta as "cordial."
Last night's despatches x attributing
the announcement of an ultimatum
by Huerta to Minister JUrrutla,, of the
department of the Interior, stirred
official circles here deeply. ,
Secretary Bryan, an early riser, read
the morning newspapers and hurried
down to his office where he. -found the
reassuring cable from " Charge
OrShauglmessy and -'then hurried over
to the White Hove to confer with
message . came from Mr" Lind telling
message came from M Lind ' felling
or the conference with Huerta.
Members of the Senate foreign rela
tkms ' committee, alarmed by the ap
parent gravity of the situation, hur
ried down , to the White -House
for a conference, with President Wil
eon. There seemed to be division of
opinion among them as to whether
Minister TJrrutia's announcement was
unauthorized. Some were strongly
inclined to accept that explanation as
given by Foreign Minister Gam
boa. ' ' . y'
Charge 0"Shaughnessys dispatch,
backed up, by Mfc L4n served "to
dispel -the Impression- the-- -first ' news
despatches had created and the offi
cial views switched , around o a gen
eral belief that while the situation
was delicate there was hope - of some
satisfactory conclusion so long as con
ferences were continuing between
Huerta and Lind. It was' generally
understood that while .the negotia
tions were still in progress the Mexi
can government's request, that public
expression of President Wilson's views
as presented by Mr. Lind, be with
held from publication ' was respected
and that they might not be given out
today. '
Mexico City, Aug. 19- Face to face
in conference during the night, ex
Governor John Lind and President
Huerta are believed to have reached
an understanding which may yet pre
vent the severance of relations be
tween the United States and Mexico
and serve to continue negotiations in
wliich Washington may play the, role
of mediator. J
Neither at the national palace nor
at the American embassy were any
details-of the conference given out but
it is known that the meeting was cor
dial and that Mr. Lind now considers
the so called ultimatum announced
through Dr. Urrtttla, ' minister of the
interior ..late last night, as unauthor
ized." It was claimed, however, that
President Huerto specifically denied
having made the peremptory demand
for recognition as contained in Dr.
Urrutia's statement. This was to the
effect that the United States govern
ment would be given until midnight
to agreei to recognition of the Huerta
administration under threat of sever
ing all relations,
Mr. Lind has always believed that
he. could accomplish much , 'If .' permit
ted to talk personally with the Presi
dent and there is reason to believe
that as a result of this conference be
tween these two plain-speaking men,
the attitude of President Huerta may
be changed, notwithstanding that the
first steps toward a diplomatic break
had already been taken. The gravity
of the situation- is at least consider
ably . minimized for the immediate
present.
New York, Aug. 19 Reports that a
critical phase had been reached in the
relations of .this country and Mexico
were instrumental in depressing the
stock market at the opening, today.
Bear traders took advantage of the
situation to offer stocks and the lead
ing issues gave way easily The de
cline of American stocks In London
before the opening here was an added
factor in weakening - the list. Ameri
can Smelting, which nas heavy inter
ests in Mexico, opened 2 1-4 lower. The
first transaction in Steel was. a block
of 5,000 shares at 63 to 62 3-4, a maxi
mum loss of 1 1-4. - Canadian Pacific
dropped 2 1-2 and losses of a point,
were recorded in Union Pacific. North
ern Pacific, Heading, Lehigh Valley,
Chesapeake" and Ohio, Amalgamated,
Mexican Petroleum, Can and Utah
Copper. Prices held fairly steady at
the lower level during the first half
hour of trading, with the exception
of Union Pacific, which increased its
loss to nearly 2 points.
Noon-Crop news, the principal mar
ket factor, recently, was relegated to
second place, today, and the Mexican
situation furnished the chief specu
lative material. Early reports of the
Mexican government's ultimatum were
succeeded by more reassuring advices
and the market grew quieter after the
first downward rush. No substantial
recovery was effected, however, and
before noon prices drifted to a still
lower level, although pressure of stock
was not great. " Copper stocks were
especially affected. Bonds were is

TEEVAN LEADS

FOR POSTMASTER
Democrats Getting Together and
Long Controversy Ij About
. " Ended V
Derby, Aug"., 19 -It begins -to look
as though the Post Office situation
in Shelton was going to'be cleared up
in the near future, and that Bryan's
dove of peace would soon alight on
the roof of the post office. It is un
derstood that several of the candi
dates there were about f ourteen to
begin with have withdrawn from the
contest and thrown their strength to
Daniel J. Teevan, member of the
school board.
Mr. Teevan is a foreman In one of
the local mills, and is said to be pos
sessed of considerable native ability.
He as not one of the early candi
dates but his large vote for member
of xthe school board and following
among the rank and, file of the Dem
ocrats is said to make him an ideal
candidate for the place. )
' Unless nothing unf orseen Ijappens it
is expected that Mr. Teevan will be
come the candidate of nearly all, "-of
the factions that have had candidates
for the place. As the charge has
been made that the split in, the party
was supported to a certain extent by
the friends of the Republican post
master who' desired to have him hold
over for several months, the 'getting
together of the Democrats will mean
that the holding over of the Repub
lican will not be for more than two
or three weeks at the . most.
The refusal of Congressman Jere
miah Donovan to have anything to
do with untangling the "maze that the
several candidates had made of the
situation is understood to have re
sulted in several of the candidates -deciding
that it was best for'the party
to get together upon a candidate that
would be acceptable to the greater
part of the people of the borough.

Thaw is under arrest liere. He will
bo arraigned at 6herbrooke as a fugi
tive from justice In the. tJnited. States.
The final disposition of the prisoner,
however, rests with the Dominion gov
ernlnent. ; ' '
The slayer of Stanford White was
arrested at II crmen gi lrfo - f ; a rf or ! ,
early today, an hour alter -he had
driven across the line from New
Hampshire. - He admitted his identit r
and complacently deelari he coui i
not he textradited a.? he had committed
no crime
Two men vrfho are supposed to ha vt
accompanied Thaw in his spectacular
flight from the Insane oylnm at
Sfattcawan. N. "ST., Inst Sunday morn
ing, were found In his company and
also detained. ' They were charged
with being under snspiclon of having
committed an offente In another and
friendly, nation. " These two, one of
large build, and the other a smaller
man, at once retained counsel and re
fused to disclose their identities.
The reward for Thaw's arrest be
longs Sheriff B. H. Kelsea, of Cole
brook, N. H., who recognized Thaw
on a Maine Central Railroad train,
last night, and after the fugitive had
left the train at Hereford, pursued
him to Hermenesilde-Garford where,
at the' request of the sheriff a Cana
dian constable placed the fugitive un
der arrest.
Thaw was "brought here. Thou:?"fi
he already admitted, hji identity t?
Sheriff Kelsea, he at firat denied that
he was the man who escaped froin
Matteawan. Later he freely admitted
ready convinced. He said, however,
that he would fight efforts to" extra
dite him and retained Attorney J.
Shirtliffe to look after his interests.
Shirtliffe had a long conference with
his client before he was taken to Sher
brooke, this afternoon.
Hector Verret, King's counsel of
Coaftcoofe, is acting for Sheriff Keisey,
who is. the actual complainant In the
case. Kelsey charged that Thaw was
a fugitive from justice and demanded
that he be held for the United States
authorities.
The police, immediately after
Thaw's arrival here, sent a. message
to Superintendent Kieb of the Mattea
wan Insane Asylum, notifying him of
the arrest and giving a' description of
the .prisoner. The superintendent re
plied asking that the man be held.
There is some question about the sub
sequent disposition of Thaw'3 com
panions. It was said that they had
been released but their counsel re
fused to confirm or deny this.
Chief Boudecau will leave for Eher
brooke with his prisoner at 2.30 this
afternoon. The immigration authori
ties took no part in the detention of
the alleged slayer" of White and prob
ably will wait until he is positively
identified. So far they have reached
no advice from the department at
Ottawa which was notified ot the ar
rest. Thaw shut up like a clam after h
had seen counsel and nothing was
learned by the police of his flight up
to the time that Sheriff Kelsea recog
nized him on a Maine Central Railway
train that was taking him from north
ern New Hampshire into Canada. Had
he not made inquiries of the fcheriff re
garding the country through which he
was passing he probably would na-.o
been In Quebec this- afternoon and pos
sibly aboard a steamer eaijing for
England without havirg had his iden
tity suspected. It Is believed that Tha-.r
took tHe train that left Portland, Me,
at 9:35 yesterday morning. Substance
ie given to this theory by the pub
lished despatch from Portland. Mf,
man thought he recognized Thaw at
the railroad station at Portland Just
before the train upon which Thaw
reached Canada drew' out. The fugi
tive, however, and his two friends at
tracted no attention throughout the
long day's ricle. They occupied seats
in the smoking car and according to
other travelers chatted with earti oth
