The contract is for five years from

CANNOT MAKE LOWER RATE
May Roach Agreement With Foreign
Nations and Announce Result by
lro-linHliii Without Any
Necessity of Law.
WASHINGTON'. May 2. The Senate
tariff bill, in the section which deals
with the maximum and minimum prop
osition, has. In the judgment of tariff
experts, one very important feature. It
practically vests in the President the
power to decla e a tariff war against
any nation or to refrain from any
such war.
It Is given to him to deride whether
any "nation is discriminating against
the products of the United States in
its system of duties. This permits the
Government, through the State Depart
ment, and the other agencies provided
ly law, to make agreements with other
natli.ns as to trmle and tariff conces
sions which can be made effective by
a proclamation of the President, 'with
out the necessity of anything In the
way of legislation or treaty agreement.
The bill authorizes the President to
employ at his discretion any persons
to procure Information or assist him In
the discharge of these duties, which
would mean that he can appoint com
missioners representing the United
States to go abroad and make agree
ments with foreign nations.
At the same time, attention is paid
to the wishes of those who are not in
favor of reciprocal agreements of any
kind. The proposition makes it Im
possible to have any rate established
lower than the rate in the tariff law.
Any change In the case of any nation
must be a change In the way of higher
duties. No amount of bargaining or
concession can secure for any country
any reduction In the tariff law.

Theodore Roosevelt should thus be univer

found in a District of Columbia Court
charging them with libel in publishing
certain matters relating to the Panama
Canal, will resist extradition.
When arrested, bail in the sum of $6000
was required from each. Although each
had friends In plenty present, all wining
and anxious to assist, the indicted men
preferred to furnish their own bail, and
each went on the other s bond.
In resisting extradition, the publishers
protest against an interpretation of a law
that gives the united states jurisdiction
under a statute which adopts the state
laws within the limits of territory owned
by the General Government. The News,
Mr. Smith's paper, in commenting upon
the matter editorially, says m part:
At their .meeting- In New York last week
the directors of the American Newspaper
Publishers- Association adopted resolutions
condemning the theory, rediscovered by the
late administration, that publishers from
even the remotest sections of the country
may be taken to Washington to be tried for
criminal Ubel. Here is the conclusion of
the whole matter:
If newspaper publishers may be tried
for nlleeed libel in each and every com
munity where one or more copies of their
publications may nave been circuiatea. de
fense becomes an endless and unbearable
burden. Involving not only the freedom, but
I the existence of the press.

that the responsibility of keeping the
peace results as much with the mass of
the Japanese colonists in the United
States as it does with the men of the
ships now lying in these waters."

SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 2. (Special.) I
With adjournment only three or four '
weeks away the Legislature will redouble .
its speed the coming week to clear the
calendars of the masses of bills that have i
accumulated. The Senate Is for taking ;
a sine die adjournment May 22, and has j
adopted a joint resolution fixing that day
as the time for winding up the session, j
but the House is shouting for more time, I
and will probably set May 28 or 29 as the I
time for the finish.
No action on the big question before
the .assembly the deep waterway is
looked for. The labor lobby will be on
hand stronger than ever to work In the
interests of the labor measures. The
lobby expects to center most of its energy
this week on the employers' liability bill,
and on the measure requiring a trial by
jury in contempt-of-court cases In con
nection with labor injunctions.
From all appearances the Senatorial
situation will remain stagnant this week,
although much subterranean work is
going on, and most of the leaders Insist
that the end of the deadlock will come
before the legislature goes home. Gov-
