BERLIN, March 24. The Inclination that
Dr. David Jayne Hill wi not regarded as
adapted to the post of American ambassa
dor to Germany appears to have been made
at the suggestion of Emperor William.
His Majesty, since It was announced last
November that Dr. . Hill would succeed
Charlemagne Tower, has- received varioua
Impressions adverae to Dr. Hill. It la diffi
cult to trace the origin of these opinions.
Some came from members of the suite of
Prince Henry, who saw much of Dr. Hill
during hia visit to the United States six
years ago, some from the German lega
tion at.. The Hague, where Dr. Hill Is at
present minister, while others doubtless
were obtained. 1n quarters not yet apparent.
It Is olear, however, lliat the personal con
viction grew In the emperor's mind that Dr.
Hill would not adequately and agreeably
represent the United States at this court.
Something In the nature of a private and
personal message was then conveyed to
President Roosevelt.
No partlculat Incident seems to have
taken place between Dr. Hill and Prince
Henry. There were, however, aeveral hap
penings each unimportant, but which, taken
together, led t6 the forming of an unfavor
able estimate of Dr. Hill by Prince Henry
and hia entourage.
Kspressloa Cornea I.ate.
Emperor William. If he was aware how
the members of Prince Henry's party
. Icoked on Dr. Hill, did not connect these In.
' presslons with the American minister at
The Hague when this diplomat was se
lected' by President Roosevelt to succeed
Mr. Tower here; otherwise some expres
sion would have been made earlier.
It seems to have been overlooked that
DV, 1(111 waa, nc Maounced aa the .pros
pective ambassador to Germany until after
President Roosevelt made private Inquiries
through Baron von Sternburg, the German
ambassador at Washington, as to whether
Dr. Hill would please the German govern
ment. It appears that a reply waa sent to
the baron'a dispatch aaylng that Dr. Hill
would be persona grata.
The government view Is that this private
.message cannot be regarded aa official and
that the usual procedure would require a
formal Inquiry and reply.
In the diplomatic corpa the disposition Is
to consldor that some one has committed
an Indiscretion. There Is difficulty In Ibe
llevlng that the matter could not have
been arranged In a lesa direct way. '
Dr. Hill visited Berlin privately early In
March on his way to Dresden, to see his
daughter, who Is In school there.

ber. He also made arrangements for serv.
ants. He dined with Ambassador and Mrs.
Tower, lunched with Consul General and
Mrs. Thackeray and saw a number of ac
quaintances whose congratulations on his
transfer to Berlin he accepted.
The Foreign office today Issued a denial
to the statement that official action had
been taken by the German government on
the proposal to send Dr. Hill to the Berlin
embassy. It la probable that the Foreign
office either has not been informed by Em
peror William of the message sent to Pres
ident Roosevelt or elae it Is desirous 01
tranqulllslng an - unpleasant situation by
emphasising the fact that the German gov
ernment has - taken no "official' step
against Dr. Hill. The situation is naturally
one of embarrassment to officials and of
consequent confusion to the publio mind
owing to the distinction between the "of
ficial" and "unofficial" action.
No Ofllolal Statement.
WASHINGTON. March 26.-As far as of
ficial records go the State department la
not even yet possessed of the Information
that Dr. Hill's selection was not acceptable
to the German emperor. It does know that
Ambassador Tower has dispatched a letter
from Berlin to the State department In re
lation to this matter, and If public Interest
In the subject continues to Increase' the of
ficials here may decide to call on' Mr. Tower
to cable the substance of the letter; '
The diplomatic circle is still speculating aa
to the cause for the attitude of the German
government. On suggestion Is that Ambas
sador Tower desires to remain In Berlin for
some time and that Ills Influence with the
emperor has been exerted to dissuade the
authorities at Washington from relieving
him. But this meets with little credence
here. The official flies contain no resigna
tion 'jy Ambassador Tower.
"The Hill question waa not discussed."
These were the words used by Baron von
Sternburg, the German ambassador, after
a call on Secretary Root today. It was
diplomatic day at the State department
and the ambassador Was one of Secretary
Roofs' numerous callers. -
Not a word has come to the German em
bassy from Berlin regarding the matter.

condemned the wooden fire escape there.
The school' building Is of frame construc

the Board of Education that the windows

The one fire escape on the building Is too

of the officials Is a "disgrace."
Colonel Ryder spent Wednesday morning

NAME OF BALLOON STATION
Signal Corps Aeronautical Park, Fort
Omaha Depot.
COMPLETION ABOUT JULY FTEST
War Department Has 'Rot Yet Se
lected the Officer In Char to
Be Vader( Post Com
mander Glassford.
"The Signal Corps Aeronautical park will
be the official designation applied to the
army balloon plant soon to be opened at
Fort Omaha.
The plant, now In process of construction,
will comprise a balloon house, a hydrogen
gas holder of 60.000 cubic foot capacity, the
latter to cost about $12,000. This Is Intended
for the storage of the gas to be used for
aeronautical purposes and for balloons to
be tested at the park. The hydrogen gas
plant Is rapidly approaching completion
and may be ready about July 1.
This plant will not be operated more
than two or three times a year, since the
storage facilities will be sufficient to supply
the balloons for about that period. The
gaa, will be condensed and placed In tubes
for shipment. The officers at present sta
tioned at Fort Omaha are: Lieutenant Col
onel William A. Glassford, chief signal
officer Department of the Missouri; Captain
Charles B. Hepburn. Captain Otto A. Ne
smlth, Captain William H. Ouray (in
charge of construction). Captain Mick K.
Cunningham, First Lieutenant Otto 13.
Grimm, First Lieutenant Shelby C. Leasure,
First Lieutenant William N. Haskell, all
of the signal corps.
It has not yet been decided by the War
department what officer will be In charge
of Aeronautical park, under Post Com
mander Glassford, but It appears to rest
between Captain Charles' deF. Chandler of
the signal corps and First Lieutenant
Frank P. Lahm of the Sixth cavalry, both
of whom have made enviable records as
aeronauts. Both officers are much lnter
eated In military ballooning and have de
voted considerable time to aerial observa
tions. The officers at Fort Omaha and at De
partment of the Missouri headquarters do
not know anything about the plans for ac
tual balloon experiments at Fort Omaha,
other than to get the plant In readiness.
FOR REPUBLICAN REVISION
(Continued from First Page.)
both at home and abroad of almost every
artlrle of commerce. The long continuance
of the benefits conferred by the present
tariff has produced an Industrial situation
that suggests the poslsblllty of securing by
the revision of the tariff additional benefits
for the people of the I'nlted States through
a wise continuance of the policy cf protec
tion. .
Sevr Tariff Schedules Needed.
It Is now apparent thut In order to main
tain the scientific accuracy of the tariff,
remove Inequalities ana prevent injustice,
some new schedules must be added to the
law, some of the present rales must be
lowered, while some must be repealed al
together. The very success of the present
tariff demonstrates the wisdom of revising
It to conform to the Improved conditions
which It has produced. e believe that the
people of the I'nlted States will profit by
a new tariff, btn it must be a republican
tariff, a protective tariff, a tarut which
recognizes In all its parts the difference
between American- and foreign wages, the
difference between the high scale of living
of American wage earner aud the scale of
living Imposed by' Insufficient wages upon
foreign workmen. . ' -
We therft(re recommend to our delega
tion to the npuhl'pan national convention
that they utgo eijon the convention the
wisdom of deeleWng for a revision of the
tariff to be mmle-'at the next session of
congress, or-- awfl anSspeclal session' of the
Sixty-first congreHS, to be convened Im
mediately afrfr th Inauguration of the
next president. March 4, lt 9.
We believe that our tariff should contain
a provision for minimum and maximum
rates the minimum rates felving full pro
tection, the maximum rates to be Invoked
for retaliating upon foreign countries that
discriminate against American produrts.
We believe that two main Ideas should
pervade all the provisions of the tariff:
First, that the protective principle so pre
vail In all the schedules that American
farmers, workmen and producers shall be
given the first cull on the home market,
and secondly, tnat no illegal or unjust
combination, trust or monopoly shall find
encouragement or shelter in any of its
provisions.
To the end that the revision of the tarirr
mav be accomn shed with tne greatest
possible gain and the least possible loss wa
suggest to our senators and representatives
in congress, mat mey seen io secure at
once the passage In their respective houses
of resolutions directing tne proper com-
mittees to nroceed Immediately to collect
the preliminary Information necessary for
a revision of the tariff, that when the work
is entered uoon all rjartiea in interest may
be heard and tlje law framed, discussed and
Dassed without delay and without any dls-
turbance of the financial and Industrial In
terests of the country.
We favor such financial legislation
will give to the country districts the same
protection as to fhe central reserve cities
ana prevent tne recurrence or nnanciai
disturbance, and we have confidence In our
chosen leaders in congress that proper
financial laws will be enacted.
Opposed to Trusts.
That we nnnrnv the viirorous enforce-
ment of the Interstate le.w against an
combinations, monopolies and trusta, and
will support the enforcement oi sucn laws
until Justice prevails. We urge that If the
laws now on the statute books are not
sufficient -to reach every case of extortion
or discrimination, additional laws
enacted by congress until no guilty combl
nation nr trust escanes.
That we endorse the republican members
of both branches of congress who have
stood firmly by the president and . have
enacted Into law so manv measures recom

also have enacted Into law many other ex

TARIFF
FOR
REVENIE ONLY
Old Democratic gloaran t'sed Again by
Indlnnn Convention.
INDIANAPOLIS, March" S6.-The second
day's session of the Indiana democratic
convention opened today with Its work
well defined- A platform waa to be adopted
and a state ticket nominated. The corrmlt
tee on resolutions was In session nearly all
night on the platform and the committee
on credentials upenl the night laboring with
the contests between the Taggr.rt and pntl
T agger following In the Seventh district.
The Indications were that National Chair
man Taggart was !n control of the conven
tion and that his wishes wouli be followod.
The credentials committee decided the
four Seventh district contests In favor of
the Taggart delegates and the report, of
the committee was adopted. 'The platform
as It read Included a declaration for laws
executed In tl Interests of tho whole peo
ple. It denounced the repuollcan party for
alleged failure during twelve years of abso
lute control of all the departments of gov
ernment to rectify evils whereby "colossal
combinations of capital have dominated the
people and tllegal perversions of corporate
laws have stifled competition," with no
honest effort by republican legislation to
cure or eradicate these evils."
The unfair features of the so-called pro
tective tariff," said the platform, "have
made these things possible. We therefore
demand the tariff be revised and that the
tariff shall be for revenue only. Articles
entering Into competition with articles con
trolled by trusts should be placed upon
the free list. Material reductions should
be made In the tariff upon the necessaries
of life and reductions should be made In
such, other schedules as may be necessary
ot restore the tariff to a revenue basis."
The platform declared for an Income tax,
postal savings bank, better regulation of
banks, abolishment of favoritism In the
deposit of the treasury funcj, and that sur
plus revenues shall be deposited at com
petitive rates upon sufficient security and
fairly distributed throughout the country.
It' also favored election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people, ap
proved completion of the Panama canal
and urged liberal appropriations for Im
provement and development .of the Interior
waterways.
Opposition was declared to the Aldrlch and
the Fowler currency bill and an emergency
favored instead. The platform also opposed
the ship subsidy bill. It declared strongly
against Indiscriminate use of Injunctions
by federal courts without notice to defend
ants and a trial by Jury In proceedings aris
ing out of Indirect contempt of such in
junctions. Efforts of the president of the United
States to dictate the nomination of his
aucessor were disapproved as dangerous
to our form of government, also the fact
that the last congress expended nearly
$2,000,009,000, which is condemned as a
profligate waste of the people's money."
The present financial stringency is de
clared to furnish additional proof that the
republican leaders are either unwilling or
Incompetent to protect the Interests of the
public.
Continuing, the platform says: -Democracy
enters on the presidential
campaign with a leader already chosen,
called to command when but a young man,
rnmhntted iii two successive campaigns by
the unreasoning assaulre of his adversaries
and a debauched surrrage corrupted oy

accord delivers Its banner to Nebraska's

ine condition or. our country ana xne
remedies to be applied will require that
there should be placed at the head of our

Avsrd or township unit local option

great loss to Japan, Corea and to this
country." were the words of Koike, as he
left the death chamber, and Dr. Zumwalt,
who had attended him, added his apprecia
tion of Stevens' character by saying:
"He had been calm, cool and cheerful
from the first, and entirely uncomplaining.
I have never met a braver man."
Until yesterday morning every hope had
been entertained for Stevens' recovery, but
at 10 o'clock symptoms of inflammation of
the peritoneum appeared and the surgeons
realised that his condition had become
critical. At o'clock Stevens was taken
to the operating room and placed under an
anaesthetic. On opening tho abdominal
cavity, the surgeons discovered that the In
testines hsd been perforated In six different
places by one of the shots tired by Chang,
and that the patient had no chance for re
covery.
Only once during the evening did Stevens
show any signs of returning consciousness
when, in answer to a question by one of
the doctors, he said he waa In pain. Then
he relapsed and lay quietly until the end
came at a little after 11 o'clock.
Drs. Terry, Huntington and Zumwalt,
who performed the operation, remained at
his bedside during the evening.
Corean Pleased at Outcome.
Stevens leaves two sisters In Atlantlo
City, and a telegram was sent there last
night. Informing them of their brothor's
death. Consul General Koike sent cable
grams to his government, reporting the
death of Stevens.
In" Whan Chang, the Corean who fired the
shots which proved fatal to Stevens, when
Informed last night at the Jail of his vic
tim's death, received the news without
surprise and with manifest delight. Since
the day of the shooting Chang has been
expressing the hope that Stevens' wounds
might prove fatal. tast night, when asked
If he was sorry for what he had done,
Chang said:
"No; I am glad. He was no friend of
Corea, and he Is better dead."
Stevens' death will result In a charge of
murded being brought against both Chang,
who fired the fatal shots, and Chun, his
accomplice, who attacked Stevens as he
lighted from his automobile at the ferry
building.
Chun, who was wounded by a wild shot
from his companion's revolver. Is at the
Lane hospital, where It was said last night
that he was spparently on the road to re
covery. LOCAL - FIRM GETS BIG SALE

A PERFECT HOTEL
Tho St. Regis, New York, Provides Ev
ery Known Comfort and Luxury.
A LIBRARY FOR GUESTS
In tho olden times when houses for public
entertainment were known as inns or
taverns very little attention waa given by
'mine host" to providing anything for his
guests beyond such actual necessities as
food and shelter and even these were not
always of the best.
In thla age of great hotels, palatial In
slas and magnificence, which are rot
merely stopping places for travelers, but
more or less permanent abodes, the man
ager provides all the comforts of home
and much in the way of luxury and con
venience unobtainable in the average priv
ate residence.
Particularly is this true of Hotel St.
Regis, New York's most complete living
and dining establishment. Not content
with giving itS guests the best tn the way
of food, furnishings and artistic surround
Ings, the management also makes special
provision for these who have literary
tastes.
On the second floor of the St. Regis,
where are located the grand ballroom and
a series of reception and sitting rooms. Is
a large, attractive library with well
stocked book sholves. Here are many
thousand volumes selected with great care
and covering the world's best literature.
A complete and i handsomely bound cata
logue Is provided in every room and a
librarian is always In attendance. Quests
have free access to the library and are
permitted to draw books for perusal In
their rooms.
Hotel Bt. Regis omits no feature which
can in any way add to one's enjoyment
And yet with all that this Implies, the cost
of living is moderate. A large, well-furn
Ished room may be had for 14.00 a day, or
tba same with bath connected for 16 (td
fq two people), or a parlor with bedroom
and bath for 112. The restaurant charges
