COMMERCE OF THE NATIONS . ijgtij "vK He Outlines Four AVays to Meet Hos tile Tariffs of Foreign Countries; -. but Expresses No Prefer- ; ence for Any of Them. CLEVELAND, O., May 30. The 56th an nual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce was-held here "tonight,: with 309 persons In attendance. Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the Treas ury, spoke - cm "Nonpaatlsan Statesman ship." He said in part: Ways of Meeting Discrimination, I cannot believe that any country se riously considers Imposing new and severe discriminations against the people of the United States. Such action would be most unfortunate from every point of view to both countries. Certain it is the United States has done nothing and will do noth ing to invite such a course. If. however, at any time anj country should do this, and I wish expressly to say that I refer to no particular country, for some coun tries already do it, then- there remain for the people of the United States .four possible-policies. Without expressing an opinion as to their relative merits. 1 will state them concisely an possible. The re sponsibility of determination rests alone with Congress. Four Alternative Policies. First The United States could. continue her present policy of reserving to her own people some advantages in her own markets and making no discriminations against others. There are those who. ad vocate this course. Second We could yield to the demand of those countries which threaten adverse tariff legislation and give to their people material advantages over those which make no such discriminations. There are those in this country, I am told, who favor material reducttbns-in present tar iffs on merchandise coming from certain countries and the enforcement bf present rates as against others. I think they call this reciprocity. Third We could materially reduce all our tariff schedules, leaving it to the mag nanimity of others lo emulate our gener osity. There are those, and I am told there are many, who advocate this policy. Without expressing an opinion as to tne merits of the proposition, I venture to suggest that even the free-trade policy of Great Britain does not exempt her from discriminations by countries which adopt the discriminating policy, nor from the demand that the United States shall join In discriminations against her. Fourth Plan Is Retaliation. Fourth The only remaining course pos sible to be pursued is for the United States to make discriminations against the countries which discriminate against us. I have heard it intimated that an amendment to our present tariff laws is likely to e proposed at the next session, but with what prospect of passage I can not say. substantially as follows: "Be it enacted. That, whenever any country grants to the neonle of any bther country privileges within Its markets i wnicn are wunneid from tne people of the United States, then and In all isuch in stances the tariff duties on all merchan dise coming from those countries showing such preferences shall be per cent highpr than provided In the schedules of existing tarKt laws." . This would constitute a maximum and minimum tariff, the maximum to be en forced only against such countries as ex act a .maximum rate against us. I understand that those who advocate this course meet the charge that it means tariff war" "with the suggestion that the United States will not first declare such a war. Being forced to follow the example of other countries "Is not the equivalent of a declaration of war. while yielding to the demand that the United States shall discriminate against those who do discrim inate against her might involve neutral powers In a universal tariff war. Such a war would necessarily harm us, but it would harm more seriously still those who drove us into it. The United States pre fers to treat all alike, and fully appre ciates like treatment by others. ASKS PRESIDENT TO ACT New York Wants Xatlonnl Investiga tion of Life Insurance. NEW" YORK, May 20. President Roose velt has been requested to take cognizance of the situation that has brought out the Equitable Life Assurance Society trou ble, and to institute a National investi gation of the insurance business as it is now conducted. This request was made by W. F. King, former president of the Merchants' As sociation of this city, who has written the President as a policy-holder in sev eral companies, asking that such an In vestigation be made under the Interstate Commerce law. Should this course be deemed practicable, Mr. King asks the President to appoint a National commis sion on the lines of the Coal Commission, that settled the anthracite strike, to make an inquiry and report. "In case the President decides that he has no jurisdiction," said Mr. King, "it is my purpose to form a committee prior to tho convening of Congress to start an agitation In every state by sending out literature to every merchant and manu facturing corporation, to the number of 150.000, having a mercantile rating of 550,000 and above. I will ask these men to interest themselves and their employes In petitioning their members of Congress and Senators to put these great Insurance corporations under Governmental con trol." SEW YORK MAY PASS NEW LAW Governor Higgins Advised to Propose Action at Extra Session. NEW YORK, May 20. (Special.) It was learned this afternoon that there is every likelihood of Governor Higgins naming life insurance as one of the subjects ot consideration by the extra session of the Legislature, which is .to be called pri marily to try the charges against Justice Warren B. Hooker. Close friends of the Governor have been urging him to take a stand on the insurance question ever since it became a settled fact that there would have to be an extra session. Senator Alfred R. Page, it is understood, is among Governor Higgins' advisers- in this matter and, .should the Governor de cide to Include Insurance In the call for the extra session, will most likely draw the stipulation. Legislation that he is said to - have under way will form the predicate for what he proposes shall be an exhaustive. Impartial and unpartlsan Investigation, not only of the Equitable, but of all life Insurance companies doing business in the state- One Important fea ture of this legislation will be a provi sion on the lines of the Massachusetts laws, limiting life insurances surpluses.

NEW RUSSIAN RUSE Sends -Slow Ships -Back Harbor in Annam. to HOPES TO SLIP PAST TOGO Eleven Ships in Port Dayet, Outside Territorial "Waters, but Will Be Driven Out Oyamu Advanc- ins to .Attack: PARIS. May 2f The Petit Journal's Saigon correspondent, telegraphing Saturday evening, says he has in formation from an authoritative source that the entire Russian fleet, after leaving Port Dayot, made for the Island of Hainan, where It anchored, taking on coal, and that on the night of May 19-20 a portion of the Russian fleet, comprising 11 ships, returned to the Annam coast, anchoring at Port Royal, but outside territorial waters. The Petit Journal says this fact was, immediately telegraphed to Saigon and Admiral de Jonquieres decided to proceed immediately to Port Dayot to enforce the observance of neutrality and that the Admiral carries precise and severe instructions to that effect. The Petit Journal says that it is be lieved the returned portion of the Russian fleet is composed of the less rapid of the Rusian vessels and that it is a ruse of Rojestvensky, who hopes to mislead Togo by making him be lieve that the entire Russla'n fleet has returned to Indo-Chinese waters, and thus permit Rojestvensky, with his faster ships, to slip at full speed to Vladivostok. Officials, the paper concludes, do not fear complications because of- the re turn of the Russians, as the ships are outside the territorial waters. A later dispatch says the vessels outside Port Dayot brought colliers. AWAIT LAND AND SEA FIGHTS British Military Men Think Oyama Will Have Xo Walkover. SPECIAL CABLE. v LONDON. May 20. Not since the war in the Far East began has the tension I bere been so great as .at present, and in military and naval circles the ex perts are momentarily awaiting mo mentous news of battle, both on land and sea. Rojestvensky is trying to run the Japanese picket lines with his squadrons and at the same time the Japanese army Is moving forward on Harbin and Vladivostok. It must not be forgotten lhat for the past three months General Lintevitch has been actively engaged in getting his troops ready for a decisive con flict and that they are In better shape than at any time since the outbreak of hostilities. That being the case, Oyama will have bis work cut out to secure a victory, especially as the Russians can withdraw to the banks of the Sungarl and there, by destroy ing the bridges. that cross that stream, be able to withstand the Japanese for a considerable time. more by good strategy than by weight of metal. Should they meet In a general battle the chances would favor the Rus sians through sheer weight .of numbers.

(Special.) Convict ed of wife-murder, Johann Hoch dis coursed sarcastically today about the Jury that convicted him and claimed the police did not give him a "square deal." Comparing the action of the car-barn bandits' jury, where the evidence was all direct, with his trial, in which it was all circumstantial, he said: "Now, look at the difference between my case and that ot the car-barn bandits, who were tried In the same court last year. I am guiltless and the facts are clear. In the other case the bodies of three victims had bullets In them. The criminals boasted about their crimes. Yet the jury was- out a day and a half, if I am informed correctly. "Here Is ,the difference in my caser Jo hann Hoch was found guilty by the Jury in ten minutes. The first ballot was taken at most a minute after the Judge finished his Instructions. Then Bailiff Magnus announced to them that their dinner was ready. As- soon as dinner was over the Jury took another ballot It is stated the first stood ten for hanging and .two for imprisonment. Another ballot was Voted. This time the result was that all the 12 men voted to hang me. That wag quick work, when It Is remembered that Judge Kersen thought enough of the importance of the case to read over 60 Instructions and say that a man's life was. at stake. "The eating of the dinner and the tak ing of the ballots and the time passed In waiting for court to be reopened consumed altogether only a "little more than an hour. Then, too, remember that my trial lasted exactly one month, and you will see at once that there was something wrong somewhere. "But never mind, I, Johann Hoch, who has been a kind husband to my wife, died an innocent man. I did not poison my wife, and that ia all there Is to it, al though the state had to have it so, and therefore I must' go to the noose. X could die in half an hour and be better satis fied, for I don't want any lingering mis ery In Jail, where I have been too long already." Hoch is deathly pale and his features, formerly light with smiles, are tlghtly drawn. Jailor Whlteman has. ordered a close watch kept on him to prevent any attempt at suicide. It Is believed that he will try to cheat the gallows. Hoch spent the greater part of today in, ma ceii weeping, ana at times nis sods were audible throughout the jail. His lamentations brought scanty sympathy from his fellow prisoners, who jeered -at him and constantly urged him to "brace up and die like a man." Dying of Thirst in Desert. SAN DIEGO. Cal., May 20.
