gWashington, April 5.—iu view of
jE Booming certainty that an extaa
Sealon of congress will lie called next
Plait for the purpose of expediting final
faction on the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
democrats of both houeea arc prepar-
ing for the fight they have In view for
the passage of a general tariff revision
measure.
It is by no means beyond the range
of possibilities that a tariff revision
hill may pasa the house. All depends
upon whether the tariff reformers of
the republican party from the north-
west are willing to stand by, their
creed and cooperate with the demo-
crats. The republicans will bavo a
maiority of only thirty in tbo next
house, to that If the middle western
and extreme western republicans who
have Imen proclaiming thotr attitude
In favor of tariff revision stand by
their guns a majority in favor of re-
vision may lie secured.
. The subject will be precipitated by
a the Introduction In the house of a
® Joint resolution affirming the Cuban
l! treaty, tinder the rules of fonder
% houses an order could be brought In
'! from the committee on rules limiting
t debate to whatever point is decided
■ upon by the high protectionists, who
s are evidently In the majority among
4 the republicans ot the house, and also i
m providing that no amendments may
■’be considered in order. There is no
reason to believe that the rules of the
next house will contain anyradical de-
partures.
Upon the proposition whether an \
amendment may be considered In its !
order will come a crucial test. It is
highly probable the democrats, as they |
did In the first session of the last con- i
gress. whg nthc Cuban reciprocity bill
was under consideration, will offer an |
amendment providing that the differ-
ential rutc on Buganithall be removed,
further than that, an amendm nt to
ibe resolution embracing a tariff re- i
vision bill probably will be Introduced
and a test vote taken as. to its advls-
ubilty.
FRENCH JEERS FOR GERMANY.
Temps Enlarges Incidents to 8t!r Bad
Blood With United States.
Paris. April 5.—The Temps in an
editorial today on the recent Incidents
affecting the United State* and Ger-
many tries to rub it in on the Germans
over the ineffectual attempts of the
kaiser to propitiate Americans. The
intention of the Temps Is evidently
to embitter the relations between the
two countries, yet the article is clever
and amusing.
It expresses regret on behalf of the
kaiser that Alice Roosevelt was not
recognized in an American protocol
as the daughter of America, as form-
erly the French princesses were rec-
ognized as daughters of France, and
says also that it was a pity the shrewd
Yankee agent replaced a sham article
with real champagne at the christen-
ing oF Emperor William’s yacht Me-
teor. Moreover, the paper says Prince
Henry was less successful In playing
the velvet handed part In the United
States than the steel gauntieted one
in China.
The Temps touches lightly on the
postponement of the reception of the
statue to Frederick the Great by the
United States and on the- Venezuelan
incident, but enlarges merrily on the
refusal by President Roosevelt of the
invitation from the kaiser to send the
North Atlantic squadron to Kiel,
which was followed shortly after-
wards by the publication of the inter-
view with Admiral Dewey reflecting
on the German navy.
The Temjfe says it can not withhold
Its admiration for Roosevelt in still
maintaining outwardly the good rela-
tions with Oermany, while somehow
iiifllctingly wittingly or unwittingly so
many snubs to the world's greatest
monarch.

A man's form was seen In the store
and he was commanded to surrender.
For reply ho boldly opened the door
and drawing a revolver flred point

to reach its mark and before he could
fire again his body was riddled with
bullets and shot He fell unconscious
and died soon after. The burglar was

Cincinnati, April 5,—Local elections
throughout Ohio tomorrow are more
important than heretofore owing to
the new municipal code enacted re-
cently by the legislature, which reor-
ganizes every municipality. There
will be no officers holding over and for
this reason party advantages secured
will be greater than heretofore at
April elections. With more at stake
tkau previously, party organizations
have been unusually active, ami there
may be charges of fraudulent regis-
tration. Several hundred warrants
were prepared in Cincinnati today for
service tomorrow. It is charged that
over a thousand false registrations
have been made in a single ward. It
Is said the present registration lias
broken all April records, also of
other cities. The mayors of all the
