While, as applied to certain territory, the tariff-j proposed were favorable to the pub lic ootn as to form and rates, it de veloped that a uniform basts through out the entire country would in some sections cause substantial increases in rates in some Instances, and very ma terial reductions in other instances.

Convention Data ITnsettled. "Those who want It held before, so that It may not be said that the Pro gressives are trailing off after the Re publicans, have a further reason, which is that if we nominate a Progressive like Beverldge, or Hiram Johnson, or Roosevelt, the Republicans might in dorse our candidate, rather than Tnom lnate one of their own and have four more years of Wilson-" Mr. Neuhausen says that personally ha believes the Progressives will hold their convention after the Republicans, so as to give the latter a free hand to choose either a progressive or reac- f0r hj8 election.

MINNESOTA DELAYED BY GALE; CANT CROSS BAR AT GOLDEN GATE Big Liner Will Have to Await Calm Weather as She Draws Too Much Water, San Francisco, Dec. II. (P. N. S.) A blustery southeaster battered the crippled Minnesota from dusk yester day until dawn and the big ship with her secret, forced to steer a course obliquely off shore is little nearer San Francisco this morning than rhe was last night at 8 o'clock when she wire lessed, "88 miles south ot tbe light ship." All day yesterday a steady southerly wind blew behind the vessel, steadying her In the sea ttnd adding a couple of knots an hour to her speed toward thi port It was a material assistance to the three tugs towing. But with night fall the wind Increased and it blew freakishly with varying velocity all night Captain Garlick. fearing to im peril his vessel by longer remaining close inshore, steered a northwesterly course, according to C. W. Wiley, ma rine superintendent for the Great Northern company, this morning, and his command is still about 80 miles away. At 9 o'clock last night the wind reg istered 45 miles an hour, ajid-in blasts aid lulls it buffeted the Minnesota until the early mroing hours, when it Increased to 66 miles. At 6 a. m. it Was on the decrease, and at 7:30 o'clock It had dropped to 60 miles an hour at Point Reyes. This indicates a maxi mum offshore velocity of possibly 75 or 80 miles an hour at the height of the storm. Wiley said this morning that he felt no fears for the ship. , Once off the lightship the Minnesota will drop anchor and will wait for fair weather to enter port For the first -time in the history of the. port the pilots have to deal with a mer chantman which cannot pass over the bar. As a consequence they will have to bring her in through North channel and this will require a calm sea. Five and possibly more tugs will assist in bringing the monster In and they will leave her off .of Melggs wharf. Once in the bay federal authsrlties who have been Investigating th activ ity of alleged spies will take charge or the snip, iso one but government officials or employes of the company will be allowed aboard and none of the crew will be permitted ashore until the probe Is ended, it has been an nounced.
