But the Reciprocity Conferenoe
Thinks We Could Do with
Less Thereof.
ACTION OF THE CHICAGO MEET
Resolve for a Dual Tarfff and an Ex
pert Commission.
MassiU'liimetts and Iowa Clush,
am! the liny State Idea Wins—
Cummins a Feature.
Chicago, Aujr. IS.— Resolutions
which were adopted by the national
reciprocity conference, which has just
closed its meeting here, were preceded
by the following recommendation by
the committee: "We recomnmnd that
a pel nianent American organisation
be funned under the style of the Reci
procity Tariff League, and i*iut a com
mittee of fifteen lie appointed by the
chair to have full power to organize
and further prosecute the work for
which the convention has assembled.
Said committee shall have power to
increase its membership and to till
vacancies when necessary."
Declares the Kvport Trade Vital.
After stating that the conference
representing more than 2O0 agricul
tural, commercial and industrial asso
ciations of lie Vuited States the reso
lutions declare that "the agriculture,
manufactures and other industries of
this couldr.v have expanded to such an
extent that they can uo longer depend
upon the home market for the con
sumption of their entire product
that 'the export trade has become a
vital support to many of our Indus
tries, and that "the present commer
cial attitude of the Tufted States,
largely owing to our failure to carry
into effect the reciprocal trade pro
visions of section 4 of the Diugley
law, is antagonizing foreign nations,
whose good will we desire and on
whom we Lave hitherto depended as
purchasers of our surplus products."
Dual Tariff' aud Kvpcrt Commission.
Therefore, it Is resolved that "tikis
convention, recognizing the priuciple
of protection a the established policy
of our country, advocates reciprocal
concessions by means of a dual or
maximum and minimum tariff that
preferably the schedule question
raised by such concessions should be
considered by a permanent tariff
commission created by congress and
consisting of experts that there is
plenty of room for concessions without
injury to industry, trade or wages of
labor in this country, and that con
gress Is urged to act as quickly as
possible.
MASSACHUSETTS AND IOWA MIX
Cummins' Speeh the Feature of the
Meet—Klin# at Shaw.
Massachusetts came Into direct clash
with the Iowa idea at the conference.
The resolutions in favor of dual tariff
and expert commission iudicated the
Massachusetts idea. Governor Cum
mins, of Iowa, on the other hand,
made a ringing speech advocating the
principles of wytectlon, but urging
"a fight before the people" In behalf
of reciprocity. "Reciprocity lias been
damued by faint praise and false
friends long enough," said Governor
Cummlugs. It has been coddled in
conventions and crucified in congress.
It is time to unmask and to fight to
win or lose. If we lose, we shall at
lea»& flri™ out of the shadows of con
cealment the cowards and traitors who
have been skulking there."
The'exponent of the Iowa idea took
a sarcastic fling at Secretary Shaw,
ailing .him the most "rigid of the in
liexible foes of revision or reciprocity."
lie said the secretary had made an
"untrue explanation" of the failure of
the Trench treaties, when speaking
at l»es Moines. "Standpatters are
not protectionists they are cxclusion
ists" was an epigram of the Iowa
man that aroused great applause.
Kdward Rosewater, of Omaha, one
of the speakers, defended the Repub
lican party's record from attacks made
on it on the score of revision. He
said party platform never had con
tained revision planks. Fie asked some
one to name one tariff schedule that
was too high, and Cummins declared
he could name two dozen that were
too high.
At one point in his speech Governor
Cummins said "The folly of main
taining a tariff schedule that will en
able us to sell $1,1)00 of manufactured
merchandise in our owu markets, but
which will prevent the sale of $10,
000 of manufactured or agricultural
products in foreign markets, is so
striking that It can only be explained
upon the hypothesis that we have sur
rendered to a seuseless fear of dis
turbing commercial tranquility."
The resolutions cofimiittee adopted
the commission plan to avoid trouble
on the lloor of tlu convention. It was
felt that the diverse interests repre
sented would come into open convict
with each other if attempts were
made to definitely name any articles
to be placed on the "free list." A
significant change in the "platform"
was made after it had been formally
presented to the convention by Chair
man Koss. An explicit declaration
for the policy of protection was in
serted.
Negro Business L/eague.
New York, Aug. 17.—Two hundred
colored business men opened the sixth
annual session of the National Negro
Rusiness league in this city. The ob
ject of the league is to bring together
the negroes engaged in business for
themselves for mutual help and sup
port. Hooker T. Washington lias been
tiic president of the league since its in
ception, aud mnde the principal ad
dress. A letter from President Roose
velt was read.

Chicago, Aug. 10.—Every car that
the granger railroads can get posses
sion of is being rushed out to the
wheat and corn couutry or is being
held available for the crop movement.
Agents everywhere in the northwest
ern states report that the crop pros
pects are the best they have been in
seven years, exceeding the average for
the period by from 15 to 50 per ceut.,
according to the territory.
Three Trainmen Killed.
Racine, Wis., Aug. 21.—In a rear
end collision half a mile north of
Waukegan, 111., early in the morning
on the Northwestern railroad, the en
gineer and the fireman of the rear
train were killed and the conductor

ASSEMBLY FOR
THE RUSSIANS
The Czar at liitst Has Issued His Long*
Inspected Manifesto to
the People.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 21.—Tlie czar
has issued his long-expected mani
festo, granting to the Russian people
a douma, or national assembly, to
which 412 delegates from all the fifty
departments of Russia and the mili
tary province of the Don shall be
chosen. The principle of the auto
cracy is retained and the czar sur
renders none of his prerogatives to
the people. The bureaucracy is not
abolished. Finland is not included in
the grant, the czar pledging himself
to take measures in the future.
The first national assembly is to
meet not later than the middle of .Tan
nary, RHMi. The term of the douma,
or national assembly, is to be five
years, although the czar may dissolve
it and call a new election. The dou
ma will sit as the lower house of a
legislative body, the upper house be
ing the present council of the empire.
After passing the douma bills will go
to the council, and, if there approved,
be sent to the czar.
The powers of the douma are lim
Ited when compared to those of the
parliaments of Germany or Frauce,
but they are extensive when compared
with any rights ever granted to the
people of Russia.
Warsaw. Russian Poland, Aug. 21.—
A general strike has been proclaimed
throughout Poland as a protest against
the disregard of the rights of the
Poles in the scheme for representation
in the nalional assembly. The strike
began here. Employes of the Vistula
railway quit work and many trains
were left standing at intermediate sta
tions.
Eighty socialist carrying arms,while
attempting to enter the city, were op
posed by a detachment of Cossacks.
Eight of the socialists were killed and
the others escaped.
FATAL MISHAP TO AN AUTO
Soil of a Millionaire Mine Owner Dies
Shortly Alter He Is Released.
Newport. R. I., Aug. 21.—Those
who escaped death but were injured
lu the automobile accident here have
greatly improved. Miss Evelyn
Walsh, daughter of Thomas I*\ Walsh,
of Washington, suffered much, but Is
now much easier. Miss Walsh has
not been informed of the death of her
brother Vinson. Mrs. .lames L. Kerno
chan, of Hempstead. L. I., who was
cut and bruised, and Iiarry Oeirlchs
and Herbert Pell, both of New York,
who were bruised, are much better.
This auto disaster, which added an
other victim to the long list claimed
by the devil wagon, took place while
a party occupying several automobiles
was 011 the way to a luncheon. As the
auto containing young Walsh and the
others victims was crossing a bridge a
tire burst and the auto dashed at the
side of the bridge, going through the
heavy oak railing and falling six feet
into the shallow stream below, turn
ing a complete somersault and catch
ing Its victims underneath.
Young Walsh, who was 18 years old,
was so badly hurt—skull fractured—
that he died shortly after being re
leased by the others of the party who
quickly came up and proceeded to the
rescue. Thomas F. Walsh Is a mil
lionaire mine operator, whose family is
prominent In national capital society.
