ADAMS DEFENDSJ'INSURGENTS" '
Wisconsin Congressman Discusses Re
cent "Insurrection" In House.
New York , March 1. Ropresontn-
tlve Henry C. Adams of Wisconsin , In
a notable address before' the Wiscon
sin society of New York , at Its an
nuul dinner at the Hotel Astor , dis
cussed the recent "Insurrection" In the
national house of representatives and
defended the position taken by the
Republicans who broke away from
their party In acting upon the Philip
pine and joint statehood bills. Mr.
Adams Inveighed against the abso
lutism of the speaker's rule lu tht >
lower branch of congress , and whllo
expressing the warmest admiration
for Speaker Cannon personally , ho de
clared the conditions In the house are
such as should not exist In a frio gov
ernment and will not exist when tbo
people realize the facts.
Turning to President Hooscvclt and
his share In the direction of the Re
publican party , Mr. Adams said the
so-called "insurgents , " Instead of be
ing enemies to the president , were
his friends nnd admirers. "Hut , " ho
declared , "there are other things to
bo considered besides a president's
will. Are men elected to congress to
represent tbo people or be but the
agents of executive desire ? "
FUNSTOTSCJETOTROUBLE
Reinforcing Troops In Philippines Ap
proved by Officer at San Francisco.
San Francisco , March 1. "Things
are beginning to look serious In tbo
far east , " said General Fuuston In an
interview , "and the action of tho'war
department In reinforcing the troops
already in the Philippines will , In my
opinion , be justilled before the end or
the present upilsing. Though the dis
patches thus far received seem to in
dicate that the outrages liave Ticen
confined to Kngllsh residents In China ,
It is unreasonable to suppose that the
uncontrollable mobs which have hith
erto wrought such havoc among for
eigners will make any distinction of
nationality if they ever start a mas
sacre. "
"It seems probable , " he continued ,
"that most of the forces for a Chinese
expedition must come from the Unit
ed States , for there are not many
more men in the Philippines at present
ent than are needed for.tbo preserva
tion of law and order among the Isl
ands. "

KANSAS ROADS JJEFY RATE LAVJ
Adopt New Schedule Providing for In
crease of 50 Per Cent.
Kansas City , March 1. Representa
tives of all the railroads-of Kansas
met hero and flxed a new schedule ot
oil rates in Kansas in defiance of
the maximum freight rate law passed
by the last Kansas legislature. The
schedule agreed upon amounts to an
increase of 50 per cent of the present
schedule , which has been in effect
since the passage of the maximum
freight rate law. The new rate will
bo about the same as tbo one in ef
fect before the maximum rate law was
passed. It is said that the action of
the Kansas railway traffic olflclala
will affect tbo Independent oil ship
pers of Kansas more disastrously than
any of the other patrons of Kansas
railroads. The Standard Oil company ,
having a monopoly on oil tanks , will
not suffer from the now schedule ot
freight rates as will the Independent
oil men who are forced to ship their
oil in barrels.

Central aveniie wore riddled with
ttonos and at this point a boy was
dhot in the log. The militia have de
voted their attention to control of the
larger crowds , leaving the police to
look after the smaller end of the riot.
Promiscuous nnd random shooting bus
been a feature and has added to tbo
general terror. Two negro women ,
who Jumped from tbo second stories
of their homes , when assailed by the

a slim case. After It was over the old
