Resume Inquiry In Washington.
Kansas City March 15. The inter-
Btato comuierco commission completed
Its investigations here Into the meth
ods of the Standard Oil company and

dependent oil producers of Kansas.
The commission adjourned to meev
again at a time and place to be desig
nated by It. It will probably resume
the Investigation In Washington and
may summon before It the presidents
of different railroads and coal compa
nies. These men may be ordered to
Bhow their company's records and to
eliow the stock and bond ownership
of all alllllatcd coal companies and
manufacturing Interests and. the metli-
'ods by which the transportation de
partments of different railroads pre
vent other coal companies from oper
ating In Kansas.
Many who heard the testimony and
watched 'he Investigation here con
cluded that the commission would
probably grant a lower freight rate up
on fuel oil. In the bearing Mr. Prouty
of the commission asked a great many
questions of railroad traffic men about
what would be the principal effect of
a lower freight rate upon fuel oil. Ex-
Senator Cockrell of the commission
said : "This Is just a start. We will
go to Washington and Investigate the
oil and coal business. We must get
a great deal of Information from the
railroads. The trouble will come
when we undertake to learn the own
ership of all these concerns. We must
try to give everyone a fair chanco. "

GENERAL WOOD'S STATEMENT
OF BATTLE WITH MOROB.

Were Used as Shields.
Washington , March lf > . A cable

criticisms of thu recent battle ol
Mount IX'ijo , on thu Inland ol Jolir 10
cellar with coricHpoudoncu between
the president and Secretary Tall on
thu Mibjcct wutu madu public , ( leu
eral Wood's cablegram was In answer
to ono sent to him ut thu dlructlon ol
Secretary Tafl , who called attention
to thu criticisms of "wanton slaughter
of Moros" and aukud him to sund all
thu paillculars. General Wood's re
ply denies that theru was any wanton
killing , and says a considerable num
ber ol women and ehlldien wore killed
In thu tight because they wetu actually
In the works when assaulted , that
Mom women wore troiiscis and that
children \\ero used us shields. Thu
reply was sent by Secretary Tuft to
thu president , with a note In vvhleii
the secretary says that General
Wood's cablegram seems to him to
show most clearly that thu unusual
loss of life was wholly linn voidable ,
to which the president replied thai
General Wood's answer "Is , of couise ,
entirely Mitlslactory. " General Wood' *
dispatch Is as lollows :
"I was present through practically
the entire action and Inspected the lop
of crater after action was llnished.
Am convinced no man , woman or child
was wantonly killed. A conslderablo
number of women and ehlldien weru
killed In the light number unknown
for the reason that they wuru actual
ly In thu works when assaulted and
were unavoidably killed by thu llerecj
hand-to-band fighting which took
place In the narrow Inclosed spates ,
Moro women were trousers and were
dressed nnd armed much llko the men
and charged with them. The children
were In many cases used by the men
as shields whllo chaiglng troops.
These Incidents nrc much to bo regretted -
gretted , but It must bo understood
that the Mores , one and all , weru
fighting not only as enemies , but re-
llg.ous fanatics , believing paradise to
be their Immediate reward If killed In
action with Christians. They appar
ently desired that none bo saved
Some of our men , ono a hospital stew
ard , was cut up while giving assist
ance to wounded Mores by the wound
ed , and by their feigning death for
the purpose ot getting this opportuni
ty. I personally ordered assistance
given wounded Mores and that food
and water should be sent them and
medical attendance. In addition ,
friendly Mores were at once directed
to proceed to the mountain for this
purpose. I do not believe that In thla
or In any other fight any American
soldier wantonly killed a Moro woman
or chl'd or that he ever did It except
unavoidably In close action. Action
was most desperate and was Impossi
ble for men fighting literally for their
lives In close quarters to distinguish
who would be Injured by fire. In all
actions against Mores we have begged
Mores ngiln and again to fight as men
and leep ; women and chlhlren out of
It. 1 assume entire responsibility for
action of the troops In every particu
lar and If any evidence develops In
any way bearing out the charges , will
act at onco. "

When Aldrlch ! Busy.
When Senator Aldrlch of Rhode IH-

It. .Since I lie railroad ratu bill wan re

"Lel'H have a llttlo experience meetIng -

"A inodiiH vlvendl , " said Chain ] )

Gardner went on to nay Homellilnj.

"Nominally , nominally , " Interjected
Williams.
"And homctlmcH invited to thu meetIngs -

"I am Invited to the seance.s , " re
plied vv llllaniH , "but never coii.iUltud

As to Santa Claus ,
Williams went on to show how hard
It was to get anything done looking to
changing the tarllT with ( lie Republic
an lenders all arrayed against It.
"Then you do not think It a prac
tical question ? " anked Gardner.
"It Is practical If you HcpuhllcaiiH
who say you are In favor of It would
coereo your leaders. "
"If the gentleman sayH It could be
done , " suavely remarked Gardner ,
"may I be excused for asking him If
he believes In Santa Claim'/ "
"I do In a way , " answered Williams ,
adding , "I believe in it just as I bu-
llevu in the New England fetich that
the Republican party will revise the
tariff. "
All of these bright remarks were
greeted with laughter and applause by
thu members of thu house.
Senatorial Tartness.
Senator Long had called up a bill ,
and Senator Kean demanded that thu
report be read. Senator Lodge sug
gested that as the report was very
lengthy an explanation be made in
stead of consuming the time with the
report. Long made the explanation ,
flaying that It proposed that the town
of Oklahoma might use $00,000 of thu
amount derived from the salu of lots
for ImprovementH In the town. "I
hope , " be concluded , with some show
of sarcasm , "that this explanation ivlll
prove satisfactory to the senator from
New Jersey. "
"The senator from New Jersey , " re
sponded Kean , accenting the words he
had repeated , "ban no objection what
ever to the bill , but he thinks It Is just
ns well when people are trying to get
some money to have some explanation
why It should be done. "
"I am pleased to know , " said Long ,
with tartness , "that my explanation Is
satisfactory to the senator from New
Jersey. "
Spooner Wants Things New.
Senator Spooner wants his paper be
