'The following is the tariff revision plank, proposed by the Taft people: "The Rep -Milken party declares unequi- woolly for a revision of the tariff by a special session of Congress immediate, ly following the work aesiebned to the appropriate comnaittee, andbommends the steps already taken to this end in the work assigned to the committees• of the two Houses, which are now investi- gating the operations and effect of exist- ing schedules. "In all tariff legislation the true prin- ciple of protection is best maintained by tho imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, to- gether with a reasonable profit to Am- erican industry and the benefits that follow are best secured by the estab- lishment of maximum and minimum Tates to be administered by, the Presi- dent under limitations fixed in the law, the nutximum to be available to meet discriminations by foreign countries against -.American goods entering their markets, and the miniinuni to represent the nermal measure of protection at home; the aim and purpose of the Re- publiean policy being not only to pre- serve without excessive duties that se- curity against foreige competiticni to which American manufacturers, farmers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the high standard of living of the wage earners of this country who are the most direct beneficiaries of the protective system.

Goelpb, June 14.—Lying dead in bed with hls clothes on, Sohn Tcherniac Wa8 found in one of the rooms at the Royal Hotel this afternoon. Death was due to morphine, of which he had evidently taken about 30 doses or tablets, using chocolates to drown the taste. Life had been extinet for some six hours or more, according to the examination of Coroner Savage. The suicide was a most peenliar ono, in that ale victim had made an attempt to chronicle his condition as long as possible after he had taken the firet dose, although his statements weed somewhat unintelligible and disjoint- ed.

In another place he states that his only. friends are M. Bhick.; df Mehl; with whom he worked; President Creelman, of the Ontario Agricultural College, and Dr. Cox, of Acton, to whom his watch • and clothes were ta be sent, while among his last notes he adds that he has another friend in the druggist who sold the drug. Front the notes it is learned that the first dose was taken at 10.55. The next writing was at 11.15, when marc• pills were taken, and the victisn writes: "Am sweating as though I were pitching hay on it hot July day." At 11.19 five rnore tablets were taken, and the notes state that tile unfortunate was beginning to have dif- ficulty. One minute, later another note was made, but it was unintellig- ible, except that five moro-tablets were taken. The last writingwas at 11.25,' which j statess—"I have ust taken an other five tablets. I won't be long now " A letter Was. ale() found from his mother from 'Cannes, and n couplo of applications for work.
