TARIFF FRAMERS AT WORK.
Question of Raising Sufficient Revenut
Is Main Problem.
Washington, Dec. 25. The tariff
framers met again to continue the
work of preparing a tariff bill. While
protection to industries which must
compete with cheap labor abroad will
be the keynote of the revised tariff,
much consideration will be given to
the questions of raising sufficient rev
enue for the government.
The revenue feature involves more
difficult problems than either the pro
tective or other phases of the tariff
revision question. It is claimed by
some that the government has been
deprived of millions of dollars of rev
enue during the operation of the Ding
ley tariff because of the numerous
changes made in the bill after it
passed 'the house of representatives.
These changes were made principally
in the wording of the bill, rather than
in the rates of duty. It is freely said
that numerous large interests that
will be affected by the new tariff law
as it will be reported to the house wil.'
make a strong fight when the bib
reaches the senate.
In this case it is understood that
President Elect Taft will exert every
influence to have the bill go through
the senate as it comes from the house.
It is even said that Mr. Taft will veto
the bill if the senate makes too mai.y
changes tending to increase the rates
of duty.
BRYAN ON GOMPERS DECISION.

Mitchell and Secretary Morrison oi
the Federation of Labor.
The messages, which voiced the
sentiments of persons in almost every
avenue of labor, convey feelings oi
regret over the court's decision, ex
tend moral and financial sympathy and
express indignation.
Mr. Bryan, in a telegram dated
Pittsburg, says: "Sorry to read de
cision. You did your duty in testing
law. Glad you are taking appeal."
PROBE FOR BEEF
PACKING INDUSTRY.
Sequel to Serving ot Subpoenas
on Employees ot Morris & Go.
Chicago, Dec. 25. That a far-reaching
investigation into the whole beet
packing industry is contemplated by
the government and the serving oi
subpoenas on employees of Nelson
Morris & Co. several days ago was only
a preliminary to that investigation,
was practically admitted about the
United' States district attorney's of
fice. District Attorney Sims has re
quested that all the railroads which
transport the vast volume of packing
house products open all their books,
reports and documents for the inspec
tion of the government.
Darius Miller, first vice president
of the Burlington road, admitted that
such a request had been received and
that all documents asked for had been
turned over. This action was followed
by a visit of Chester Dawes, general
counsel for the road, to the district
attorney's office.
"No subpoenas have yet been issued
to any officials of the Burlington nor
has any intimation been made that we
are connected in any way with the
case," said Mr. Miller. "We simply
complied with the request to produce
our claim papers for the last two
years."
Officials of the New York Central
railroad declared that a similar re
quest on that road had been complied
with.
PRESIDENT CHANGES ROUTE.
Will Try Hard to Get White Rhinoc
eros on African Trip.
Washington, Dec. 23. President
Roosevelt will make a special effort,
in his Alrican hunting trip to secv.re
two white rhinoceroses, about the
scarcest animal in all Africa.
The National museum in Washing
ton is especially anxious for one of
these and if the president gets an
other specimen he will give it to tne
British museum.
The president, too, will not end his
journey until he has secured two ele
phants. The advice recently given
him that he will get no elephants on
the route he has decided to take has
caused him to determine to go as far
into the interior of Africa as neces
sary to get elephants.
The white rhinoceros will be found,
if at all. on the headwaters of the Nile,
which the president will strike after
leaving Lake Victoria, Nyanza.
