NEW YORK. May 3 —John Armstrong
Chaloner, author of the f&moui "Who's
Looney Now." which he dedicated to his
brother, then husband of IJna Cava-
Ilerl, has produced a volume of verse
under the title "Scorpio."
A bitter arraignment of Rockefeller Is
followed by the following eulogy of John
I*. Sullivan, under title of "The Apoth
eosis, or a Dead Game Sport's lament."
BY R. L. ARDREY.
(Author of "Commercial Reciproc
"Prosperity and Foreign Mar
Jcets"Expert Manual” etc., a close
student of the tariff and an author
ity on exportation.)
A mere reduction in the duties in
our tariff will have no effect in pro
moting foreign markets for the prod
ucts of American labor.
Wl^en the Wilson bill was pending
in Congress in 1894 its friends in
dulged in beautiful dreams about "the
markets of the world," which we were
to have when the bill became a 'aw.
The cold facts show that exports
fell off pfter the bill was passed.
N In 1892, under the McKinley tariff,
exports of domestic product? amount
ed io a little over a billion dollars.
the first year, under the Wilson
tariff, the fisoai year ended June 30.
1895, domestic exports had fallen to
less than eight hundred millions.
After the Dingley tariff was exact
ed there was a steady increase in ex
ports and last yea-- the total was al
most three times the average under
the Wilsbn tariff.
^Foreign Business Indifferent.
The business men of foreign coun
tries do not care whether our duties
,^re high or low. They have sold
(‘ more goods .to the United *’ ? ta*es un
der The Dinglev tariff than under the
■v Wilson bill.
It is a remarkable, fact that our im
ports of manufactured products under
the first three yertrs of the McKinley
tariff were larger than under the
three sears of the Vi ;’son tariff.
What other - »untries object to is
the provincial indifference of Con
gress to fair dealing in international
trade. •
They particularly object to tariff
"inkers” and tYie "administrative sec
tions” in the McKinley-Dingley-
rayne tariffs, which compel a for
eign merchant «»r manufacturer to
engage in wnolesale perjury when he
sells goons in the United States.
\ This destroys the confidence of for
eign buyers in American goods and
American- methods of doing business
and aggravates the demands on for
eign. Governments for legislation
against us.

Church Flock Waits
While Pastor Fishes
Rector Goes Angling Sunday Morn
ing and the Sermon Is Half-Hour
Late Because Fish Bite Well.
MIDDLETOWN. CONN.. May 3.
The Rev. George B Gilbert, rector of
Emmanuel Episcopal Church at Kill-
ingworth, went fishing last Sunday
morning before church and the spec
kled beauties were so responsive he
forgot about the passing moments,
and it was half an hour after the
time for the service to commence
■when he hurried into the church,
aimed with a fish pole and with an
angler's basket thrown over his shoul
der. He threw these into a rear pew
and entered the pulpit mopping his
brow.
A frank acknowledgment of his deed
•made, he proceeded with the sermon.
After the service he allowed the ves
trymen to peep into his basket, and
sonic of them vowed his delinquency
was excusable.

florid 11)ink of us. the leading com
mercial naiions have been building up
a v «>vid-w ide system fif reciprocity in
tariffs. •
In the ’ast twenty years nearly all
the countries of Europe have entered
into mutual reciprocity treaties or
have adopted maximum and minimum
tariffs. Even England, while she has
no protective tariff, has commercial
treaties with all th f, se countries,
which insure hoi. for British goods,
the lowest rates grained by any Eu
ropean country In treaties or other
wise.
And the British colonies, with Can
ada in t lie lead, have entered into a
scheme of preferential tariffs which
favor British made goods and dis
criminate against the United States.
Tin- modern European system of
reciprocity began nearly a century
ago in the zollverein. or tariff, union
of German states, more than fifty
years before these states were con
solidated in the German Empire. In
1879 the German Imperial Govern
ment passed a tariff law which au
thorized concessions in duties on a
few a Tides, as a basic for treaties
with other countries which would

NEW YORK, May 3.—William Gay-
nor. a youth employed to check the
babies of women shoppers in a Bronx
department store, reported at 6 o'clock
last evening that baby No. 62 was
still on his hands. He said he had
paged the woman who had checked
the infant, but got no response.
The store was closing and tfte sales

The child is a boy about two weeks

NEW YORK. May 3.—Details per
taining to the establishment of Fried
mann Institutes in several States for
the administration of the turtle vac
cine have been made public.
The vital fact of the news is that
patients all over the United States
can obtain treatment in a very few
weeks. Twenty-fire thousand letters
have been received from consump
tives anxious to try the remedy re
gardless of its merits or demerits, and
these. Dr. Friedrich Franz Friedmann
announces, will soon have their op
portunity.
The Friedmann Institute in New
York will be the first to open, the
date being very soon after Friedmann
returns from a trip to Canada this
week to see patients there.
The original plans of Friedmann to
establish headquarters here and go
from one part of the country to an-,
other treating patients have been
changed. Tests of the merits of the
treatment are still unfinished by sur
geons in the United Stales Marine
Hospital Service of the Federal Gov
ernment. If tbelr report is ady-arse
to Friedmann's method* the Federal
law might prohibit interstate trans
portation of the vaccine. Thus the
"State's rights’’ plan was adopted.
Dispatches from Washington say
the Solicitor of the Treasury is look
ing up the legal aspects of th© present-
plan*. •
Friedmann as yet has made no se
lections of physicians for the different
institutes. He will give his vaccine
to any physicians who apply for it,
with instructions as to its application,
and will give free treatment to pa
tients who are poor.

Mr. Ireland sat'd nothing, but. heart

The husband, after his early grief

present at the wedding sixteen years

N’bW YORK, .May 3. Kverv pound of smokeless ordnance
■powder purchased hv the United States Government for the
army and navy is manufactured Itv the du Pont de Nemours
Ponder Company. The principal plant is located at Haskell,
N. .1.. thirty-three miles from New York City. It is the biggest
of its kind in America and extends over a tract five miles long.
A .Japanese syndicate headed by Heitaro Ku.jita has pur
chased sixteen hundred acres adjoining the du Pont plant. He
now owns five great hill tops, each otle of which commands a
different section of the powder works. Fnjita is said by some to
represent the .Japanese Government.
With swell caution did some of tlie agents of Fnjita take
tille to these hills that the neighborhood did not become aroused
until the present agitation in California against the alien owner
ship of land began to develop international proportions.
Commands Powder Works.
Purchase was made through Joshua Picker, of Haskell, act
ing for Lawrence H. Ta.sker, of No. 154 Nassau Street, New
Y’ork.
"Why the Japanese have quietly Fettled here beside us is a puzzle.”
said an officer of the du Pont company, at Haskell, yesterday. "If they
wanted to. they could mount a few guns and throw shells that would put
us out of business. Of course I am not saving that they have any euch
thing in mind.”
That the United States Government is wholly dependent upon the
du Pont company for ordnance powder was shown by evidence in the
Government’s suit for the dissolution of the monopoly. It was shown that
the du Pont company made 100 per cent of all the smokeless powder out
side of the comparatively small amount manufactured by the Govern
ment Itself.
Japs Appeared Years Ago.
Japanese began to investigate the country around Haskell shortiv
after Ihe I’nited Plates Government began work on the Panama Canal
One Japanese after another is eaid to have made fleeting visits to the
valley of the Wanague. so the residents of Haskell say. Direct overtures
for the purchase were not made until about three years ago.
Nothing definite was known, however, until agents of Fnjita entered
into negotiations through local real estate agents for tlie purchase of the
.1 M. Sloat homestead, which includes a conical hill, commanding a wide-
reaching view of the Haskell plant. The Sloat farm Is to the north of
the powder plant about two miles.
Other Hill Tops Bought.
The hills bordering the Wanaque River alternate with ow vallevs.
In one of these valleys is located the powder house of the Haskell fac
tory. About a mile to the south are the fuse and cap plants of the truer.
The cap factory is farthest sou - .h, being situated not far from Pomp-
ton Lakes All of Ihe factories are located only a short distance to the
easi of the Greenwood Lake division of the Hrie Rail oad.
Following the acquisition of the Sloat property th. Japanese turned
the r attention to olher hilltops which command the valieva in which
the remaining buildings of the powder plants are hiding. One of Hie
next purchases by the Japanese was the David farm, which comprises 309
acres.
In the last three yea s the Japanese holdings have increased little hv
little-, until they, now aggregate 1.000 acres. The names of a!| of the
farms purchased could not be ascertained because of the quietness with
which they have ItPen acquired.
Land "For Bungalow Sites.’*’
Arthur Romain. son of the proprietor of the Lakeside Hotel, said
that lie accompanied a Japanese on a three-day trip to the mountain
top last spring.
"This Japanese told me he represented the Japanese Government."
said young Romain. "He said Japan wanted some good farm land, and
it was bis business to find it. I thought it strange that he picked out
mountain tops.”
