MaglMrafe (rime Attrlhutea Desire to Obtain Faurc's Compromising Papers. PARIS. Nov. 30 The Investigation of .the Steinheil case did not make any ureal aiiv'Hiue tm'ay. II. Andre, tiie examin ing maglstrpie. heard onlv a few sec ondary witnesses. The most Important results are exp-iWd from the lengthy examination of Mine. Steinheil. which has been nxed for tomorrow and Wednesday anil the magistrate will decide fro., the evidence whether the re-constructlon" of the crime in the presence of Mine. ?teiniicli will be neesary. Extraordinary precautions ore being taken in view of a possible hostile dem onstration tomorrow. Mme. Steinheil will be brought to the court at an early hour nd will be kept henceforth in the Con clergerle. Seeks Kvitk'iu-e of Poison. Mme. Sr?lnheil's council. M. Aubin. will retire from the case, because he took it up prior to the criminal Indictment, and he now prefers to turn it over to a spe cial assize court advocate, as he Is not versed m that class of work. M. Osier, director of the Laboratory of Toxliology. has begun an analysis of the glasses found In the Steinheil resi dence after the crime. His labor will require one week. He Is not hopeful q the result, believing that the (classes were either wasned after the last meal of the Steinheil family or. if narcotics were used In them, a!l traces have since evaporated or been absorbed. Political Motive of Crime. The Libre Parole, an anti-Semitic Journal. Is still keeping; up the cry that President Felix Kaure. who died in this city In 1S99, was the victim of a polit ical murder because he Intended to re fuse the request for a retrial of the Preyfun case tl says now that Stein heil was murdered with the connivance of his wife and the political poltce, nd that the object of the crime was to obtain possession of certain letters written by M. Faure. which, the paper alleges, compromise men now active In public life. Continuing, the Libre Parole says that Steinheil was fully conversant with' his wife's manner of life, and that he had possession of papers for which he demanded Jl'00,000. This sum was by those Implicated considered exorbi tant, and consequently an arrangement was perfected with Mme. Steinheil to burglarize, the house, she to take ad vantage of ten occasion to rid herself of her husband. The paper gives the name of the de tective, who. It alleges, directed the op eration, and it declares that the name of the actual assassin has been dis closed by aMrletts Wolff, who was a cook in the service of Mme. Steinheil. No documents however, were found, as Steinheil had confided them to the keeping of a friend. The whole house was ransacked, only to find that the papers had been removed to Switzer land. COMPULSIONJS EMPLOYED i Continued From First Pte. embody a thorough and Impartial re vision ot the present tariff law. It will also include a careful readjust ment of the wording and provisions In older to eliminate any possibility of misinterpretation by the courts. If th re Is any opposition to a thorough revision. It Is generally believed that It will develop after the bill has been passed by the House and reaches the Senate. Today the committee held a hearing on the schedule for flag, hemp and jute. Tomorrow cotton and silks will be considered, and on Thursday the tariff on wool will be the subject for tf Ucuasion. Lower Duty on Burlap. A committee of manufacturers of bur lap bar;s appeared today and asked that the tariff on burlap cloth be changed from H of a cent per pound and 13 per cent ad valorem to 1 cent a pound (or a reduction of 30 per cent) and that the duty on burlap bags of ?i cent a pound and 15 per cent ad valorem be changed to 14 cents a pound (or a re duction of 13 per cent.) This would change the differencntlal GO per cent In favor of the American manufacturers of bags. J. H. Bemis. of Boston, told the com mittee that the changes requested would reduce the revenue to the Governmnt ' I1.500.0CO annually, but he said that the consumers of bags had demanded It. A. D. Metealf. of Auburn. X. Y., a binding twine manufacturer, asked that hide roge. now on the free list, be pro tected and that manila hemp be placed on the free list. Some manufacturers of cables were willing to have the duty re duced from 1 cent to of a cent. Portland Manufacturer's Plea. Everett Ames, of Portland. Or., a bur lap bag manufacturer, said that the Pacific Coast manufacturers needed a great differential so as to compete with the Calcutta burlap bng. Since the rassage of the iJingley law, he ex plained, the cost of labor had increased 20 to t per cent on the Coast, and ma cnlnes had been Introduced In the manu facture of burlap In Calcutta and India. John Boyd, of New York, asked that the higher-priced Chinese. Japanese and India straw matting should be brought In at a duty of 3 cents, or the same as the cheaper grades. EMISSARY IS AT 'CAPITAL (Continued From First Pajte.) W. It. Straight and A. W. Pontius, officials of the State Department, who were in China In the consular service for a number of years, were then made. The party waa conducted to carriages and driven to the Bpeclal residences. tSrlct Order of Precedence. The reception committee left the Am bassador and Prince at their dors, no ceremonies of any character being desired by the visitors until they were settled and rested from their long Journey. The recent death- of the Dowager Empress and the Emperor was another reason for the simplicity of the greeting. Considerable interest was. displayed by tho order in which the visitors walked nd entered the carriages. Ranking was observed throughout. First came Tang Shao Yi. the special Ambassador, and Prince Tsal Fu, escorted by Mr. Wilson and Colonel Bromwell. Then followed Minister WO, who is outranked while the Special Ambassador is here, and Chung Mun Yew, who is said to be slated to take a high position In .the Chinese diplo matic service. They were escorted by Commander Sims and Mr. Straight, Other carriages followed in strict order of rank. the last carrying several gift-bearers. The packages were loaded into the rear car riages, guarded with ostentatious watch fulness, and were the objects of a great deal of speculation. It Is known that these boxes an port manteaus of oriental design contain pres ents and letters of rare value for Presi dent Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt, President elect Taft. Secretary of State Root and other American ofrtcials. The character of the gifts, however, will not' be made public until after presentation. That portion of the Boxer Indemnity which has been remitted by the' American Government amounts to nearly ?14.W0,O"O. Will Study Financial Methods. Tiie Special Ambassador looks forward with great pleasure to several months" stay in this country. He sp?nt the days of his youth In New England, and has not been in this country since 181. During the session of Congress he expects to pass a great deal of time in the capital study ing the financial system of this Govern ment and the procedure attending prep arations for the revision of Hie tariff. He mav go to Europe later to carry on Ills studies, but this is not decided definitely. it is expected that Tang Siiao YI will call at the State Department tomorrow to arrange for a visit to the President. This probably will take place on the follow ing day when It Is expected the distin guished visitor will deliver the message from the Chinese government.
