"The Southern railway had no Interest In

It at any time In the future. Louisville

"Neither directly or Indirectly?"
"No. Neither directly or Indirectly, In

, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Oates, Mr. Harris, Mr.
Perkins, Attorney Stetson and several other
of the Interested parties held another con
ference at Morgan & Co.'s In the late after
noon. This conference preceded the meet
ing between Mr. Perkins and Mr. Belmont,
at which It was decided not to issue the
Morgan-Belmont statements until lata at
flight. Edwin Hawley, who had not figured
n the Louisville ft Nashville matter be
fore the previous day, was also among tbe
lata .callers at Morgan ft Co.
Haw-ley's Part Not Clear.
Mr. Hawley's Interest In tbe situation
has not been made clear, but he vouchsafed
the atatement earlier In the day that be
was a large holder of Louisville ft Nash
ville stock, and .a firm believer In Its fu
ture prosperity. Reports recently coupled
Mr. Hawley's name with that of Mr. Oates
in . the recent Colorado ft Southern and
Colorado Fuel and Iron deals.
No definite statement, as to what dispo
sition Morgan ft Co. may make of Louis
ville ft Nashville is looked tor until the
pending, legal entanglements growing out
of ths; Great Northern-Northern Paciflo
merger are settled. Should Southern rail
way acquire a majority interest in Lou Is -villa
ft Nashville, It Is assumed that the
Illlsol Ceutral road, which parallels Louis
villa' ft Nashville territory, and is dominated-
by Harriman Interests, will receive
some ' concessions. That Illinois Central
desires a majority Interest In Louisville ft
Nashville la not generally believed.'
PAYNE FACTION IS HOPEFUL
Advocates of Twenty Per Cent Redac
tion Believe Their Cuban
Bill Will Pass.
WASHINGTON, April 16. With the close
of the ' CUban reciprocity debate in the
house today, tbe leaders announced tbat all
danger of the bill being weighted down with
undesirable amendments was over and that
they felt assured the bill would pass in the
shape In which It came from the committee.
At the bill in Its preaent forui hi SUM to
command three-fourths of the vote of each
aide of the bouse. Its passage was certain
If It successfully passed the stage when
amendments could be offered.
Ths only cause of anxiety heretofore has
been the possibility that enough republic
ans would join wtth the democrats to over
rule the chair and tack ento the bill an
amendment to abolish the differential on
refined sugar. All the energies of tbs lead
ers have been directed, therefore, to bring
ing pressure to bear on the recalcitrant re
publicans to Indues them to refrain from
aiding thia plan, and this evening at the
close ot tbe session of tbe house It was sn
aeunced that the enttre republican delega
tions from Michigan and California,' who
constitute ths bead and front ot the oppo
sition, had agreed not to vote to override
the ruling ot the chair.
Mr. Watson ot Indiana, who Is aleo act
as ths 'whip .for the majority, does not
believe over a doren republicans at the out
side will join the democrats on this propo
sition. It would require more than twenty
republican votes to place on the bill the
amendment which might endanger its ulti
mate paassge, as several democrats. It It
understood, also have declared their inten
tion to stand by tbe ruling of the chair.
An unsuccessful effort was made again to
day by Mr. Payne to secure an agreement
to limit the general debate. When tbe
house adjourned . today there remained
thirty-five members who desire to speak.
The debate today was without particular

KNOX ON THE BEEF TRUST
Attorney General Replies to Letter Written
to Him by Congressman Bay.
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED
Answer Is So Satisfactory that the
Home Judiciary Committee De
cides to Take No Farther
Action at Preaent. . '
WASHINGTON, April 15. A letter from
Attorney Oeneral Knox relative to the so
called beef truBt was made public today
by Representative Ray of New York, chair
man of the house committee on judiciary.
In view of the attorney general's letter, the
judiciary committee ' decided without di
vision to recommend that the resolution
of Representative Thayer of Massachusetts,
asking the attorney general what Steps bo
had taken against the beef trust, He on the
table. The' attorney general's letter Is
glved In Chairman Ray's report on the reso
lution. !-'.
The report quotes Mr. Ray's letter, dated
April 12, to the attorney general, in which
the following questions are asked:
1. Has your attention been called to the
matter alleged In house resolution 203, a
copy of which is annexed?
;s. Have yc
lave you been requested to take any
official action In the matter?
S. Have vou anv evidence of tha axlatenca
of such a combination . r
Tbs attorney general la a letter' ot ths
same data answers ths questions, follows:,
1. It has not, except so far a -it is a
matter of general notoriety, k'
I. I huve not, ' ' '
I. None that could be classed 'as legal
evidence. . . . ,
Continuing tha letter says ; ,
It is proper, I think, however, to add
that, owing to the positive, official, re
peated and circumstantial nature of the
allegation that the law is being violated, I
directed some time ago a thorough investi
gation to be made by one of the district
attorneys of the United States for the
purpose of ascertaining whether in fact
such combination existed and whether. If
so, its operations were in violation, of any
federal statute.
Continuing ths report says: i
It Is apparent from thla correspondence
that there la no necessity for the adoption
of the resolution. By reason of the wide
spread notoriety of the matter, the attor
ney general of the United States has al
ready ordered a . thorough Investigation.
There Is no doubt he will perform his duty
and prosecute all offenders, if offenders
there be. - - 1
It Is evident that he should not be re
quired to give in detail the steps already
taken, as this would be to forewarn thou
who are violating the law and enable them
to conceal evidence. t ' '
It is also evident that this officer Cannot
state whether or not there, has been an
Infringement of the law, as no evidence
haa been presented to him upon which to
base an opinion, and no intelligent opinion
can be given aa to whether or not there
haa been an infringement of ths law until
the facts are fully ascertained.
It Is also evident that no legal steps can
bs tsken toward a prosecution of the parties
violating the law until a thorough investi
gation haa been made. In short, the letter
of ths attorney general above quoted an
swers the resolution as fully at.lt can be
or ought to be at this time.
WAITING ON SUPREME COURT
Taxpayers Defer Actlea la Regard to
Conatr and State As
sessment. After conference between several of ths
leading property owners of ths city and W.
H. Green, president of the Real Estate ex
change, it was decided to do nothing In the
way of forcing ' county assessors to assess
at full value of the property until after the
supreme court haa passed upon the report
of Referee Ryan. This action waa In har
mony with ths advice of Attorney Mcintosh,
who, when tbs matter, was called to his at
tention, said:
'The supreme court may not follow the
advice of ths referee. There is a decision
handed down by that court. In which some
of tbs present members concurred, which
says that when ths majority ot property
haa been assessed at 25 per cent of its
value a taxpayer may compel boards ot
equalisation to assess his property at that
rats. This gives judicial recognition to tbs
fact that in Nebraska assessments may be
legally mads at leas than full value, and it
this bs still trus action on ths part of tax
payers to tores tbs assessors to assess at
full valus might bs unwarranted."

TEST ON EXCLUSION TODAY
Final Debate is Fraught with Series of
Heated Expressions,
SHARP FIGHT WILL BE MADE TO LAST
Senator Turner Accuses Republicans
of Draaalnst Politics In Contest
Spooner Stoutly Resents
tha Assertion.
WASHINGTON, April 15. The debate on
the Chinese exclusion bill wat practically
concluded today and voting on the bill and
amendments will begin at 1 o'clock tomor
row. By general consent a vote was taken
today on two important amendments, of
fered by Mr. Fairbanks of Indisna, striking
out the definition as to Chinese students
and teachers and they were agreed to with
out division. These changes were made
with a view to reconciling some ot the
opposition to the measure, which has been
directed against the rigid restrictions on
students and teachers, and tbe necessary
inconveniences this would Impose on the
educated Chinese classes coming ts this
country.
The debate was participated In by Sena
tors Heitfeld of Idaho, Penrose of Penn
sylvania and Turner of Washington, in
favor ot the bill, and Senator Prltcbard of
North Carolina and Spooner ot Wisconsin
In opposition.
rolltlcs Creep In.
Mr. Turner made the assertion that poll
tics bad crept Into the discussion and that
most of the members of the majority were
opposed to tne bill. This brought out a
sharp rejoinder from Mr. Spooner, who
maintained that politics had not figured in
the discussion, and tbat the oppo-'tlon
to the present bill was due entirely its
conflict with the treaty end not because
of any opposition to Chinese exclusion,
which was an established doctrine of tbs
government.
Mr. Hansbrough, from the committee on
publfc lands, today reported the house
bill legalizing the manual of surveying in
structions of the general land office and
the bill was passed.
Tbe senate then resumed consideration
of the Chinese exclusion bill.
There was a mass of telegrams from the
cities of the Pacific coast, urging the
passage of the Piatt substitute re-enacting
the Geary law. Many of tbe dispatches
expressed the opinion that the Geary law
had been amply sufficient for'the protection
ot American interests ami -that the pend
ing bill la too severe.
Not the Voice of People.
Mr. Perkins of California submitted a
large number of dispatches supporting the
bill. One of the telegrams was from ths
mayor nnd Board of Supervisors, or legis
lative body of San Francisco, declaring that
the opposition of the Chamber of Com
merce did not represent the opposition ot
the people of -the Pacific coast, who ssked
the passage of the senate' bill.
Mr. Penrose spoke In support of the bill.
He maintained that osr commercial ' ex.
paoslon In the Pacific would in no way
be retarded by the exclusion of a non
asslmllatlve people like the Chinese. Our
commerce had steadily increased during the
period of exclusion, and in 1897, when ths
regulations were most rigid,, it .was double
the amount of the period preoedlng exclu
sion,
Mr. Turner of Washington, answering the
contention of Mr. Foraker, declared theirs
was nothing In the "bill inconsistent with
our treaty. The bill had no politics in It
when it came from the committee. Mr.
Turner said- It was a measure for 4hB
protection ot the people of our land.
Says Corporations Oppose It.
From the time it was reported, however,
sentiment had been crystallizing on the re
publican side of the chamber until the
measure hardly had a friend on that stde
save among the mombers of the committee.
Politics had crept In, the senator declared.
In spite .of the effort to keep it out. Tbe
powerful corporations had been beard from:
the "business interests" had been heard
from. The great transcontinental railroads
and the steamship companies were opposed
to exolusloa, and, in his Judgment, their
opposition had taken the form of the pro
posed Substitute for ths extension of the
present law.
Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin expressed dis
satisfaction with the pending bill and with
ths substitute.
He waa astonished to bsar from tbe Wash
ington senator (Mr. Turner) an imputation
of unworthy motives on the part of tbe
tenatort on tbe republican side. Mr. Tur
ner disclaimed any attempt 'to impute un
worthy motives to senators.
Throws Blame on Turner.
Not a brsatb ot party division occurred on
this measure, said Mr. Spooner, until the
senator from Washington bad interjected it
into the discussion, evidently with tbe be
lief that when bs left the republican party
all its virtue departed with him. The re
publican party needed no defense, said Mr.
Spooner, on, the charge tbat It opposed ef
fective Chinese exclusion. Strike from the
statute books what ths party had enacted
for the protection of the American ware
earner and but little would remain.
The senator declared that ths time would
never come when our peole would admit
tbe Chinese, no matter what steamshln com
pany or what railroad company desired it.
The exclusion of the Chinese waa a definite
and established policy, and he and his as
sociates on the republican side of the cham
ber did not yield to the aenator from Wash
ington in the determination to keen the
Chinese from our shores.
But Mr. Spooner said be believed in
keeping treaty obligations, and either there
should be exclusion consistent with our
treaty obligations, or else, if necessity re
quired, there should be an abrogation of
that treaty.
CONDITION 0FTHE CROPS
Corn Plantlnsr la In Satisfactory Prog
ress Throughout Corn
Belt.
WASHINGTON, April 15. Ths Weather
bureau's weekly summary of crop conditions
Is as follows: Although ths temperature
sines March 1 has averaged above tbe nor
ma! over the northern portion of tbe coun
try east of the Rocky mountains, the season
la reported as backward in these districts.
sxcept In New England and New York
where it is from ons to two weeks earlier
than ths average. The season Is also back
ward In the southern states.
Tbe week ending April 14 waa cold In the
central valley "and over the interior por
tlons ot the Atlantic coast and east gulf dls
trlcts, although milder 'emperatures pre
vailed during tbe latter part of tbs wsek
In the last named districts. Rain is much
needed in tbe Ohio, oeotral Mississippi and
lower Missouri valleys, over the western
portion of tbe lake region, in South Florida
and the Rio Grande valley. Including New
Mexico and Colorado. Frosts occurred a
far. south as the' northern portions' ot ths
east gulf states and tbs Interior ot the
Carollnas, causing no serious damage.
Warmer and dry, weather is badly needed
on tbs north Pacific coast.
Cera Planting; In Progress. .
Corn planting Is Bearing completion la
ths wsst gulf states and has made favorable
progress In tks South Atlantic sad east gull
districts and Tennessee. Tljji work Is gen
eral la Kansas and Missouri and prepara
tions in Iowa are unusually well advanced.
Eastward of the Mississippi no com bss
been planted northward of Tennessee, ex
cepting a little In southern Virginia. la
Texas and Louisiana much ot the crop Is up
with fine stands and cultivation has begun.
While tbe growth of ' winter wheat has
been slew, a very general Improvement Is
reported from the principal winter wheat
states, although the crop has deteriorated
slightly In central and northern Illinois and
Is sufierlng for rain In northern Missouri.
Though somewhat improved In Kentucky,
Tennessee and Virginia, the condition ot
the crop In these states continues much be
low the average. On the Pacific coast win
ter wheat has made rapid growth In Cali
fornia and a heavy crop is promised north
of Tehachapl, but In Oregon and Washing
ton the condition of the crop is less promis
ing, especially in the last named state,
where a large area bad to be resown.
Sprlnax Wheat Seeding:.
Spring wheat seeding Is well advanced in
the southern portion of the. spring wheat
region and a little has been sown In south
ern North Dakota. A severe dust storm In
southern Minnesota on April 10 and 11 un
covered much of the sown grain. Warmth
and moisture are much needed for germina
tion. Oat seeding is well advanced in the states
of the Missouri valley but has made less
favorable progress in tbe Ohio valley. The
early sown is looking well In, Oklahoma,
Kansas and tbe southern portions of Ne
braska and Missouri, but germination has
been slow In tbe Ohio valley and the crop
has sustained some Injury by frosts In
Indiana.
Cotton planting Is well advanced to the
westward of the Mississippi and tbe early
planted it coming up to satisfactory stands
In Texas. Eastward ot the Mississippi
planting, although late, is well under way
over the southern portions of Alabama,
Georgia and South Carolina. But little
planting has as yet been dohe in Missis
sippi. Except in North Carolina tobacco plants
are generally plentiful and healthful, al
though small.
The fruit outlook, except for peaches In
some districts, is promising. Frosts have
caused injury to peaches in Kentucky, Ten
nessee and the Carollnas.

PALMA STARTS FOR CUBA
Goes Back, as President After Being;
Exile for F.lahtren
Years.
NEW YORK, April 13. Tomaa Estrada
Palma, president-elect of Cuba, took leave
today of his friends of Central Valley, N.
Y., among whom he has lived during
eighteen years of exile from his country.
A large crowd gathered at his old home and
escorted him to the station, where another
large crowd had assembled. Tbe local
volunteer firemen and school children,
headed by the village band, paraded and
nearly everyone carried either an American
or a Cuban flag.
Farewell addresses in behalf of the citi
zens were made by Rev. F. C. Harding and
Irving Washburn and Mr. Palma made a
brief response. He said that he left Central
Valley with regret, for It had been a haven
to him when he was driven from his own
country. Tbe people had always treated
htm with great kindness, he added, and be
would always remember it with deep grate
fulness. President Underwood ot ths Erie railroad
gave President-elect Palma the use of his
private car for the trip te New York. It
was decorated with Cuban flags, bunting
and ferns. Mr. Palma appeared on the rear
platform as the train left the depot and
there was a final cheer louder than all the
rest. At Ardon the children of the village
school gathered to greet the Cuban leader
and although the train did not atop there
was a friendly demonstration. At 10:20 the
train.. reached New York.
Mr. Palma will remain In New York for
a few days, when he will start south for
Cuba. He will land at Glbara and will go
from, there to Bayamo. It was at Bayamo
twenty-fire years ago. that bis mother,
driven Into the jungle by Spanish soldiers,

will be to seek out her neglected grave.
From Bayamo be wUl go to Manzanlllo,
