WITH THE STATES
Hon. Mr. Fielding and President Taft Reach
an Agreement on the Matter.
Canada Grants a Few Unimportant Con-,
cessions.—Announcement to be Made.
Washington, 1), C. alaeelt ee,— Hon.
W. S, Fielding, alinieter of Finance, and
Hon. George P. Graham, Minister of
Batileattas, elating on belialf of the Cau-
adiaa Goverment, et the White Hemet
agreed to grant the United States en-
ough tariff conoessioite to justify Presi-
dent Taft in giving the Dominion-, in
eeturu, the benefit of the reiniruune who-
dulea on April 1, The President will U-
AW a proclamation to that effeot on
March 80, inunediately after he Taurus
from a visit to New York, where he goes
on Monday to attend the manual ainner
of hie own clase of Yale. Secretary of
State Knox issued Of atatOUlea yester-
day afteenoon in whielt lie announced
that the negotiations begun at Albany
aad ended satisfactorily, and that pro-
elamation of the happy outcome would
be made at Ottawa and Washington
next %Amway.
'rho White Reuse confeeence lasted au
hour, and in addition to the President
and Secretary of State Knox there were
present on behalf of the 'United States
the Secretary ot the Treasury, Mr.
Franklin afacVeagh, Chairman Emory
of tile Tariff „Board, and Charles M.

Department,
TO 9.'4.RIFF
"We are not at liberty to make pub-
lita any details," said Mr. Fieldiug, af-
ter the coeference, "beyond the fact
that the tegotiations 3ndy now he de -
Oared to have reached a stage satisfao
tory to both sides'and that there will
be no tariff war between the two coma
tries. Each side was anxious to avoid
such a disastrous outcome°, and with the
contracting parties in that frame of
mind perhaps it was not at all remark-
able that the matter was amicably set -
tied. Neither Canada nor the United
States wants it tariff war."
Although neither the President nor
the aecretary of State would authorize
any further statement on the subject of
the conference, and all parties were
bound to secrecy, it is understood tbat
the concessions made by the Canadians
were really of a very inconsequential tuts
ture. The Canadiau merchants and
manufacturers who send goods to the
United States after the first of April
• will be granted the lowest Customs
rates possible under the new Payne-Ald-
eieh tariff law' and it might also be
• mentioned thatin exchange for this
the Canadian tariff will not suffer any
hard jolts.
CHANGES, LITTLE CONSEQUENCES.
In fact, unless they are told that the
Dominion has made some concessions,
hero an there, to appease the require-
ments of the new Americal law, ib is
quite likely that the Canadian Customs
officials will not be aware of the feet
that anything has been done to change
the law. While the Canadian Minister&
were of course quite mixious to bring
about an aniicable understanding, and
thus avoid it tariff squabble that would
cost millions to the merchants on both
eides of the border, the President and
Secretary of State were just a little bit
snore solioito:us. A tariff. war with Can-
ada would have meant an ugly black eye
for the Republican party at the next
election. The result of the recent special
Congressional election in Massachusetts,
which gave the Democrats an over-
whelming victory, is believed to heve
been largely camel by the Cate/diet
tariff issue, and to have proven that the
people of at least that section of gC\l'
Ungland resent the substitution of the
enainneum tariff club for the reciprocity
trade -getter.
CUTS NOT VERY DEEP.
It was with the fear that the Mas-
sachusetts landslide might be repeated
all along the border next November that
the President viewed the prospect of a
tariff war with Canada. So it may read-
ily be seen that ehe Canadian negotia-
tors were not ealled upon to make very
deep cuts. They were merely asked to
grant enough to snow the Ptesitant to
decentla .olimb down from the awkward
'position en which the new tariff law had
placed him. The feet that the Secretary
of State forbade the publication of 'the
concessions granted by the Canadians
leads the unprejudiced observer to
-gueas that the visiting dignitaries had
ltorthar the best of the argamente
INTEREST STILL INTENSE.
Was.aagton, 'Mardi 27.—The silerme
which the President and his advisore
have deeided to maintain in regard to
the terms of the understanding reachea
with Canada whereby the fariff war will
be avoided has not tendea to decrease
the interest here in what promised to
be a serious tangle, even though it has
been definitely announced that a pray
tidal solution has been reached. The de-
tails of the eoneessions Canada will
make are still unknown, and friends mil
enemies of the Administration are
watehing eagerly to me what the United
States will receive in return for the con-
eessione to Canada.
There is scarcely any doubt m to
what these American canceesions will
be. Under the Payne-Mar:eh Act the
laxeentive is allosvea no discretion, so
that, failing to use the maximum rate
tie a club, nothing remithis but to give
the minimum rates ell Along the line.

WASHINGTON ADMINISTRATION
SATISFIED.
Thus, ends the most critieal situation
as reenacts the tariff that has ariseu
since athe adoption of the maximum
provisiens of the Payne -Aldrich am. It
Is learned that the agreement reached
it the eonference is praetically eomplete,
and that only matters ef minor oletall
remain to be conaelerect.
There is great relief and. satisfaction
in Adminietration circles over the out-
come of the negotiations instituted by
the President, and the result is regarded
as
it triumph for his personal diplormey.
It has been recognized acutely hsre far
some time that it tariff war would not
eely be extremely damaging to the Am-
erican business interests d:rectly affect -
td, but would be aleastront the the Aa -
ministration politically. There al-
ready suet' discontent throughent the
country over the new tariff that the
leaders of the Republican party- are in
distress over their aeproepeets at tin
epproaching elections.
Ample notice was served on all of
them and on the Administration that
the northern border States would- .not
endure peacefully it tariff war with
Canada. Every one of these States
is now Republican, and the prospects
of loss involved in their resentment
°eev such a tariff war' were not
pleasant for any of the Republicau
leaders to contemplate.
There in, of course, it great deal, of
speculation here as to the line on
'which the itgreement was reached.
It is inferred in seine quarters net
the negotiations of a new trade
treaty with Canada will be involved,
and that suggestion is met at once
by the assertion that it is likely to
provoke more trouble, since, if such a
treaty affects the .tariff rates, it will
be necessary for • the House to ap-
prove. it as well as the Senate. Is is evi-
dent, however, that the Administration
does not anticipate any special difficulty
of this diary:ter.
tip to the present time about one
hundred and two nations and their
dependencies have been granted Ameri-
can minimum rates, and this leaves only
about twelve countries upon whicb ac-
tion is still to be taken. These include
Canada,
SATISFACTION AT OTTAWA.
Ottawa March 27.—The newsof
the tariff agreement ett Washington is
received in Government circles at Ot.
taws, with satisfaction, which is net
at all lessened by the face thee such
alt outcome bas been confidently look-
ed for ever since the conference at
Albany between President Taft aucl
Hon. Mr. Fielding. While the Cana-
dian Government did not shrink from
a tariff war should it become neeee-
sary, still there has ahvays been a
feeling that tariff hostilities with the
MAO States should be avoided if it
was possible to do so.
It is understood that ,the, despatches
sent from Washington credit Hon.
Mr. Fielding with having made rather
more extensive concessions than have
been given. When the offieial an-
nouncement is made it will be found
that the list of items on which Can-
adit will make tariff •reductions will
by no moats include half of the Freneh
treaty list, and it is not altogether cer-
tain here that this list Inis not 'been de-
parted from.
It is also understood that any
dianges mad& have been matte in
the Crinadian tariff in consequence of
the negotiations between Presiderit
Taft and Hon, Mr. Fielding will not
he eonfined to the 'United States or
even to Wearies whieh how hose
the most-favored-hation arrangements
with Canada. Itt fact, any changes in
the Canadian tariff as it result of the
negotiations will ptobably be made
general by Canada and will apply to
goods front all countries. The not re-
sult of the negotiations' will, therefere,
he that the Canadian tariff will be
slightla reduced Mt a small number of

LAVA RIVER SUBSIDING
Eruptions of Mount Etna Are Less Terrific
But Air Currents Disastrous.
Catania, Sieily, March 28.—The elem.
tion of Mount Etna is subsiding. The
lava, is now flawing at tae rate- of only
thre made an holey, and inue.h snow fell
late yesterday in the upper regions of
the mountain. The temperature fell to
four degrees below zero, Centigrade.
The hetet from the lavit causes ascend-
ing air currents, provoking it sueceesion
of violent whirlwinds, laden with vol-
canic ashes, which increases the desola-
tion. Trees in the path of these whirl'
rwohoidsare snapped e
apped off or torn up by th
ts.
Frank )?errett, of Brooalyn, assistant
director of the Royal Observotory on
Mount Vesuvius, who with difficulty
reached the neighborhood of the craters,
says the emission of lava bets almost
stopped, but he is of the opiaion that
the eruption. has not ended. The craters
are still active, but are so choked with
lava that they cannot expel it until the
internal pressure increases. If this hap-
pens there may be a much more violent
eruption than bus hitherto Occurred.
Mr. Perrett thinks the eruptive period
is likely to be shorter than the recent
ones. Professor Rice), et the Mount
Aetna Observatory, disitgrees with
many of 'Mr. Pereett's theories.
The stream of lava. from Mount Etna
divided again yesterday morning and
threatened Borollo. The inhabtants of
that towo hastily abandoned it, believing
that the end of the world was at hand,
Their religious frenzy verged on mad.
nese.
They took fresh hope however, when
it was found that the flow of lava was
lessening in speed. When the stream
stopped entirely yesterday afternoon the
'people greeted the news with shouts of
joy and loud thanksgivings.
The stream in the direction of Nico-
losi is still moving, but its force is now
alluest imperceptible. For this reason
it is hoped that the eruption has reached
the last phase.
The activity of Mount Lane apparent-
ly is decreasing. The Mayor of Nicolosi
has telegraphed to the prefect a request
that the evacuation of the villages on
the slopes be suspended.
The lava has submerged the cultivat-
ed slopes of Monte Som. The stream
has invested and devastated the region
of Alberelli. The people living in many
of the villages of the slopes of Etna on
Friday fled. here and spent the night in
the open.
A new crater opened on the eastern
slope Friday night with a terrific ex-
plosion and is belching forth large quan-
tities of lava andlapilli.
Naples, March 28.—Five large new fis-
sures have opened near the central crat-
er of Mount Vesuvius, but the volcano
shows no great activity.
CHURCHES FILLED
New York and Other Cities Observe
Lent Religiously.
Laymens Missionary Movement Draw-
ing Denominations Together.
New York,March 28.—The Lenten
season of 1010, according to religious
authorities, has beexr the most remark-
able this city haa ever known. The
extraonlinary thing about is in this eity
week the number at Trinity exceeded
has been the great attendence at the
noonday services. Several days this

able to get. in.
A second extraordinaty feature was
the number of Presbyterian, Baptist,
Methodist and other dandies that ob-
served it in some measure. A ima.son
for this marked change obtaining in
New York and many other cities ia
found in the new missionary enthusiasm.

behalf of world cvangefization, the
liturgical and non -liturgical pe.ople; those
who have heretofore kept Lent and
those who have not, made coneeesions,

consequenee of the laymen's missionary
movement conventions, have found them-
selves in unusual company a good many

TURK'S FUNERAL
Od•••••••11•••••••••,
Legs Crushed by Train, He Bled, to
Death at Cleveland. '
•••••••11,
Declined to Permit the Amputation of
His Arm or Leg.
Cleveland, Ohio, March 28..—Twenty
Turks gathered in a remote corner of
Harvard Grove cemetery here this af-
ternoon about a newly -made grave • of
their fellow -countryman, Michael Article
and there solemnly iaterred tha. betty
in accordance with. the rites of the Mo.
hammedan religion. The peaty wore the
Turkish head dress and one of the mem-
bers acted as priest, reading selections
from the Koran and offering up strange
prayer- to Allah.
Arlich was run over by a train yes-
terday, ono arm and a leg being crush-
ed. At the hospital the doctors told
the injured man that his only live in
life lay in the ainputation of the injured
limbs.
But Arlich's religion was more to him
than life. He had been taught that no
heaven existed for dismembered bodies,
and as he positively refused to permit
the operation to be performed he bled to
death in a, few hours.
Mohammedan funeral rites are a
necessary prerequisite to everlasting
life, one of the parties explained, nud
much care was taken in arranging the
body of Arlieh for the tomb.
First, the corpse was washed by
elohammeda hands only, for Chris -
Han hands must not be allowed to
touch the Mohammedan dead. The
body was not only washed, it was
'scrubbed, and Arach's carpae under-
went this process for nearly two horns.
The body wasethen spirally wrapped
in mummy fashion from head to foot
in thin cloth.
After the deceased had been struck
three times upon the head with it
hammer and asked certain questions
concerning his conauct through life,
the eoffin Was closed and lowered into
the grave. Great care was dieplayed
in seeing that the face of the dead man
was turned toward Mecca. So that there
could be no mistake in this the priest
carried a compass. Then, to keep the
travelling soul from becoming thirsty, a
glass of water was pourea slowly over
the mound of 'earth, starting at the head
and finishing at the feet. This latter
ceremony will be repeated every day for
seven days,. after which time the soul
is presumed to have departed from the
body.
