Paris, March 23. Tho creot striko
of the employes of tho postofllce depart
ment, .which virtually has isolated
Paris and cut off Franco from commu
nication with tho outsido world for tho

Thursday, March 24.
Washington, March 26. Almost ev-
ory shado of opinion on tariff revision
was represented today on the Payno
bill. After a crcncral assault by Un
derwood of Alabama, tho bill was de
fended by Crumpacker of Indiana, ono
of Its framers, who is a pronounced ad
vocate of freo raw materials and such
tariff on finished products as will fos
ter home manufactures without breed
ing monopolistic trusts. Then came
Shoppard, of Texas, with an attack on
the sincerity of tho Republicans in
carrying out their revision pledge.
Kuestcrmann of Wisconsin, denounced
tno countervailing duty on oil as a
boon to tho Standard, but Smith of
Colorado, and Vrceland of Now York,
said this duty was not on the Standard,
but on tho producer of crude oil.
The bill was called up by Payno im
mediately after the body convened, and
the debate was opened by Underwood
of Alabama, who spoke at length in
opposition.
Washington, March 25. Senator
Chamberlain introduced his first bills
today. They provldo for increases in
pensions to S16 to survivors of tho In
dian war and granting several private
pension increases. Senator Bourne in
troduced a bill providing for four col-
for four hours and ten minutes in ex
planation of tho bill. Then, somewhat
fatigued, ho suspended until tomorrow.
Ho was subjected to a cross nro or
questions.
Faync, in speaking or tho maximum
and minimum features of tho bill, pre
dicted that France, Germany and other
European countries would hasten so to
equalize thoir duties on American pro
ducts that they would derive tho bene
fit of the minimum rates offered.
New Star Field for Flag?
Washington, March 26. A now "Old
Glory" is proposed in a bill recently
introduced by Representative Ansber-
ry, of Ohio, to amend the section of
the revised statutes which relates to
the design of the American flag. A
new formation of tho stars is suggest
ed. They would bo arranged "in five
arcs in combination, the centers of the
arcs to bo the apices of a regular pent
agon, the radius of the arcs to be equal
to one side or the pentagon." As to
tho size of tho stars, the bill prescribes
that their radius shall be equal to "one-
rourth tho distance of the stars from
center to center." Provision for add
ing new stars for new states might bo
made by extending the arcs. .
which the construction of tho transpor
tation building has cost, in order that
the structure should be of ample size
for their most complicated illsutrations.
Locomotives of all makes and an
periods will be exhibited. Everything,
from the old "bay burners" of the cot
ton belt, to tho big transcontinental
mogul will bo shown under full steam.
A modern passenger train, eauipped
with tho last work in Pullman service,

bo a daily show.
The electric end of transportation
will be given as complete exhibition as

Every known farm vehicle, reapers,

even to the harness for tbe horses, will
be shown and the big traction harvest
ers found working throughout the
West, will have a place, with all of
their latest improvements.

French Telegraph Strike Continues

Paris, March 22. The government
issued a reassuring statement tonight
concerning the striko, in which the sit

ed, many of the strikers, especially the
telephone girls, having returned to
Washington, March 23. Tho atten
tion of American manufacturers will
not for the next few months be entire
ly focused upon the proposed tariff re
vision in this country. Franca propose
to reviso its tariff, and in the changes
to be made the United States is vitally
interested. If tho proposed French
tariff bill Bbould be enacted into Jaw
in its present shape, American trado
would be injuriously affected.
Some of interesting facts in regard
to the new measure are prepared by
N. I. Stone, tariff expert of tho de
partment of commerce and labor.
It is proposed to advance the general
rate on canned meats of 20 franca per
100 kilos to 30 francs, an increase of.
B0 per cent, leaving the minimum rate
of 15 franca unchanged.
Under the existing agreement iresfe
apples and pears are admitted at the
rate of 2 francs per 100 kilos. It I
proposed to advance the minimum rate
to 5 francs, an increase of 150 per
cent, and to increase the general rate
from 5 to 8 francs. It is proposed to
increase the minimum rate on bops
from 30 to 40 francs, and the general
from 45 to 60 francs per 100 kilos.
Far more numerous sure toe tan If
changes on articles which are not af
fected by the commercial agreement
between France and this country.
Among the more important of these,
changes the following may be men
tioned, the rate being given in francs
per 100 kilos:
Meat extracts, general rate increased
from 40 to 45 francs; cotton seed, now
admitted free, to be subject to a duty
of 1.50 francs; peanuts, now admitted
free, to be subject to a duty of 2.50
