AS TO STATEHOOD
SENATORS GROW TIRED OF VIR
TUAL DEADLOCK.
A SUBSTITUTE BILL PROPOSED
Some Members Wish to Consolidate
Territories Into Two States Danger
of Split May Kill Suggestion Re
publicans Seek Unanimous Vote.
WASHINGTON. All indications
point to the conclusion of the state
hood debate during the present week,
but no one can tell at this time just
when or how the change will come.
If the plans of the republican lead
ers who oppose the bill are put into
effect the committee on territories
will bring in a substitute bill early
in the week providing for consolida
tion and the admission of two
states This will probably not be
done, however, until assurance can
be secured that the full republican
vote will be cast for the consolidation.
If this plan does not take shape
Senator Quay is likely to press his
statehood amendment on the agricul
tural bill and a test of strength will
ensue. The vote on tiiis amend
ment will be close, if taken, and
while the omnibus bill advocates
feel that they have a majority they
realize that it will not be so large
as it would be on a direct vote on
the statehood bill alone and by Itself.
There is some talk now of admit
ting only Oklahoma, but if this should
be undertaken it will be only as a last
resort and will be postponed until
toward the end of the session.' All
senators are becoming restless under
the present conditions, which, it is
believed, cannot continue much
longer.
Monday, in accordance with notice
given by Senator Allison, the bill
making appropriations for the Dis
trict of Columbia will be taken up,
Some clauses will arouse debate, but
advantage will be taken of the oppor
tunity to further the efforts to com
promise the differences on the state
hood bill.
An effort also will be made to secure
consideration of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty, and a portion of the time next
Saturday will be devoted to eulogies
on deceased members of the house.
The house of representatives Sun
day held a memorial session to pay
tribute to the memory of the late Sen
ator William J. Sewall and the late
Representative Joshua S. Salmon of
New Jersey. Mr. Parker of New Jer
sey presided.

STEAM CAUSES JERSEY WRECK,
Dead Engineer Leaves Statement Ex
plaining the Disaster.
PLAIN FIELD, N. J. The coroner's
investigation of the recent wreck at
Graceland, in which twenty-three per
sons were killed, began Wednesday.
The most important evidence was
that of Dr. Westcott, county, physi
cian of Union county, ho read the
statement made to him by Engineer
James Davis on the afternoon of the
disaster. Davis said his engine had
a leaking steam chest, which had been
cracked for a month, and that the
steam escaping from it prevented him
from seeing the tower signals. He
did not see the train ahead until with
in sixty feet of it.
David H. Deeter, master mechanic
of the railroad at Philadelphia ad
mitted that he had known of the leak
in Davis' engine, but insisted that the
escaping steam was not sufficient to
obstruct the engineer's view.
FRANK JAMES PUTS IN AN OAR.
Kicks on the Pardon Granted to Cole
Younger.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. Frank James,
brother of Jesse James, said Thursday
that the pardon granted Coleman
Younger by the Minnesota board of
pardons will, in hi3 opinion, deprive
Younger of any way of making a liv
ing. "He is not really freed," said
James. "He Is 60 years old and has
been in prison a quarter of a century
and has no trade or profession. He
ought to Insist upon being granted ab
solutely free citizenship, or perhaps it
would have been better for him to have
remained in prison."

FORT WORTH. Tex. At the regu

federate Veterans, a resolution in
dorsing the Senator Hanna bill to

mings, and passed by an almost unan
imous vote. There was some objec
tion on the ground that the resolution
might be construed as political.

SAVES LICKING THE STAMPS.
Provisions of One of the New Pcct
office Bills.
WASHINGTON. The postoflicc ex
propriation bill passed on Thursday
by the house contains an important
provision that has not attracted iaueh
attention.
The bill provides that hereafter
postoffices shall accept for transmis
sion in the mails quantities of not
less than 2,000 identical pieces of third
or fourth class mail matter without
postage stamps affixed, prov.dcd thr.t
the postage is fully prepaid. This ac
tion was recommended strc rgly by
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden in the interest of economy to
the government and to the business
public. Under its provisions, as urged
by the department, this proposed leg
islation will save the expense of mar
ufacturing stamps, the sale of them
to the public and the subsequent labor
of cancelling the stamps on the in
dividual pieces in the postoffices after
they are mailed. It will also save the
public the work of attaching postage
stamps to the individual pieces of
mail.
Child Saving Institute of Omr.hn.
The Child Saving Institute of Onia
ha is better equipped than any other
corporation for handling k-gal ques
tions concerning children and devotes
a large amount of time to the work
of rescuing children from vicious sur
roundings by legal processes. A re
cent appeal from Washington county,
Nebraska, was promptly responded to
and proceedings were begun in the
county court against a woman who
was running a house of ill fame at
Blair, having with her four small chii
dren. the oldest one being a girl of
nine years. She made confession in
the court concerning her criminal life,
when she faced the evidence that was
presented, and then requested that the
Child Saving Institute of Omaha
should take charge of her children and
place them in homes. Three of them
have already found homes, and it Is
expected soon that a home will be
found for the ,Toungest boy, who is
only three years of age.
UPRISING AGAINST TURKEY.
Macedonian Guestion Already Begin
ning to Take First Place.
NEW YORK While the Venezuelan
affair still has precedence as the lead
ing foreign question, there is a gen
eral feeling in Fleet street that it will
speedily be overshadowed by the Mae
edonian question.
A formidable insurrection against
the Turks is expected in the early
spring by nearly all writers who are
following the course of events in the
Balkans.
Predictions of a similar nature have
been made year after year, but never
with equal confidence since the pre
liminary stages of the last war be
tween Russia and the porte.
The Turkish government clearly ex
pects trouble and the Russian and Aus
trian governments also dread a move
ment from Bulgaria which tney cannot
control, since they cannot agree upon
a joint policy.
SEAS SLAY THOUSAND.

Fearful Storm.
SAN FRANCISCO News of a fear
ful loss of life in a destructive storm
th2t swept over the South Sea Islands
last month reached here Sunday by
the steamer Mariposa, direct from Ta
hiti. The loss of life is estimated at
1,000.

attacked the Society Islands and the
Puamotu group with fearful force,

The storm raged several days, reach
ing its climax between January 14 and

1,000 of the islanders lost their lives,
but it was feared that later advices
would add to the long list.
FORMER SENATOR DAWES DEAD.
Venerable Massachusetts Statesman

States Senator Henry Laurens Dawes
died Thursday morning at his home
in this city. He was 86 years of age.

mas night, when he contracted a se
vere cold while driving. The cold de
veloped into grip, which undermined

THE LOWER HOUSE
ADOPTS COMMFFCE BILL
AMENDED BY SENATE.
AS
ONLY TEN VOTES AGAINST IT
Littlefield cf Maine Joins with Nine
Democrats in Seeking to Kill Propo
sal Calls Law Trust Soothing Syrup
Other Doings in the House.
WASHINGTON. The house Tues
day adopted the coherence report on
the department of commerce bill by
2ol to 10. One republican. Mr. Little
field (Me.), and nine democrats voted
against if.
Several democrats took the position
that the Nelson amendment was a
weak and ine.Tectual attempt to pro
vide for corporation publicity. Mr.
Mann (111.), on behalf of the repub
licans, contended, on the contrary,
that it was a better measure of pub
licity than had been presented in auy
other bill.
The remainder of the day was de
voted to the sundry civil appropriation
bili. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the
appropriation committee, gave notice
that at the proper time he would have
two amendments, one to provide for
the purchase of a site and the erec
tion of a three-story, 400-room office
building for members to be connected
with the capitol by a subway and ta
cost $2,800,000, and the other an ap
propriation of $2,500,000 to carry out
the original plans for beautifying and
enlarging the main wing of the cap
itol. The notable feature of the general
debate on the bill was a speech by Mr.
De Armond (Mo.) on the Hanna bill
to pension ex-slaves. He spoke in a
sarcastic vein, but the subject assum
ed a serious phase when Mr. Richard
son (Tenn.) said adventurers in the
south were using the bill to impose
on ignorant, credulous negroes, and
called on Mr. Cannon to give assur
ance that the passage of such a
measure was not contemplated. This
assurance Mr. Cannon gave.
Sunday, February 22, was set aside
for paying tribute to the memory of
the late Representative Tongue of
Oregon. Eulogies upon the life and
public services of the late Representa
tive Rumple of Iowa were also or
dered on the same day.
Mr. Hepburn (la.), chairman of the
interstate commerce commission, then
called up the conference report upon
the department of commerce bill.
Mr. Richardson (Ala.), one of the
conferees on the bill, explained his
reasons for deciding to support the
Nelson amendment concerning the bu
reau of corporations. He did not be
lieve any democrat could sustain him
self by opesing everything aimed at
the trusts because it was of republi
can origin. But lie did not believe tne
Nelson amendment was aimed at the
trusts.
He said it was a travesty upon what
it claimed to be. It was, he said, an
"ultra-diluted dose." Its purpose, he
declared, was not to authorize the
president to proceed against the trusts
but simply to secure information
upon which he could base recommend
ations. This was a pure response to
the bold threats which were heralded
abroad that an extra session would
be called unless effective legislation
were enacted.
Mr. Ball (Tex.), who followed Mr.
Richardson, ridiculed the program cf
the administration regarding anti
trust legislation. The administration
was represented as anxious to secure
the passage of the Nelson and Elkins
bills, and it was pretended that the
Standard Oil company was sendin
tp'psrams to nromment senators
against their passage.
ERIE CANAL MAY BE CEDED.
State
Constitution is
No Bar to
Transfer.
ALBANY, N. Y. The attorney gen
eral has decided that it is practical to
cede a small portion of the Erie canal
to the United States government for
hip building purposes, despite the
state constitution. The opinion is giv
en in a, letter to Major Thomas W.
Symonds. head of the United States
engineering corps for the Euffalo dis
trict.
The question arose in connection
ith the proposal to build a deep canal
w
from the headwaters of Niagara river
to the navigable parts further down
trearn. The letter cigars away many
obstacles that appeared lo be insur
mountable and assures the saving of
both money and time.

tribute to the maintenance of the
status quo. He added that all the
powers recognized Spain's right to

Moroccan affairs.
MUST CURB TRUSTS.
President Prepares to Call Special
Session to Convene on March 5.
WASHINGTON It can be stated
by authority that unless antitrust
legislation at least reasonably satis
factory to the administration is
passed at the present session. Presi
dent Roosevelt will call an extraordi
nary session of congress on March 5.
The president himself has told mem
bers of congress of his desire and of
his determination In this regard and it
is understood that the announcement
was direct and unqualified.
It is further stated that the de
termination of ihe president was
reached only after careful considera
tion of the strenuous efforts that are
being made to defeat any anti trust
legislation by congress. These efforts
have covered a wide range. They
were characterized by one prominent
republican leader: "The most re
markable of which I have had any
personal knowledge during my public
life."
MRS. TAEOR ASKS DAMAGES.
Wife of Former Senator and Million
aire Makes Charge of Fraud.
DENVER A suit for $3,200,000
damages has been filed in the district
court hv Mrs. Elizabeth B. Tabor
against James Vv. Newell, Warren F.
Page and the Ransom Leasing com
pany.
The damage which Mrs. Tabor
claims to have incurred resulted from
a sale on an execution of the Match
less mine, near Leadville, which be
longed to the Tabor Mines and Mill
ing company. This mine was sold in
1899 for a little more than $13,000 to
satisfy a judgment which the defend
ants and William H. Harp are said
to have held against the Tabor com
pany.
Fraud is alleged against the defend
ants for the manner in which they se
cured possession of the mine.

Present an Address Which Chamber

BI.OEMFONTEIN Colonial Secre
tary Chamberlain on Saturday had a
two hours' conference with a deputa
tion of about forty Boers of the ex
treme party, including Christian De-
Wet. The deputation presented an
address, which, it is understood, Mr.
Chamberlain rejected, at the same
time rebuking the delegates for pre
senting the address, which he regarded
as insulting, inasmuch as it impugn
ed the good faith of himself and the
government.
Christian DeWet, who referred to
Piet DeWet and Chris Botha as scoun
drels, accused the government of con
travening the terms of the Verlningen
agreement and he requested that the
terms of peace should be incorpor
ated in a law.
TURKISH ARMY MOBILIZED.

EVADE GERMAN GRAIN DUTY.
Canadians Charged with Mixing Wheal
with that Grown in America.
BERLIN Herr Roesicke, agrarian,
complained in the reichstag on Fri
day that Canadian whsat continued tc
come to Germany as American wheat
thus paying a duty of 87V cents pei
100 instead of $1.25.
Interior Secretary von Posadowski
Wehner replied that the legend to the
effect that much Canadian wheat was
coming in mixed with American con
tinued to circulate, but the govern
ment had thoroughly investigated the
reports and had been unable to find
proofs. Experts who had examined
recent shipments, which appeared sus
picious, had decided that the excess
of duty must be refunded. The Ger
man customs authorities and the con
suls of Germany in the United States
were doing everything to prevent eva
sions of the law. As for Canadian
flour, it was impossible to detect the
country in which it originated.

Navy vbn Tirpitz, Minister of Agricul

be made as valuable to agriculture as
beets. The immense display Friday
was directly due to his encouragement
for several years.
The department shows alcohol for

it is contended, that alcohol is a com
plete substitute for petroleum; an
other exhibits water and stationary
motors, while in the grounds surround
