BULLETIN.
WASHINGTON, Deo. 18. That Presi
dent Taft regarded aa serious the situa
tion arising; from the Russian protest
that adoption of the Bulzer resolution
would ba Inconsistent wIth existing
friendly relations was Indicated when five
members of the cabinet were summoned
for a special meeting-. Secretary Knox.
Attorns? General Wlckersbam and Secre
taries MacVeagh, Meyer and Nag-el were
present.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-What in dip
lomatic language is Interpreted here as
practically a threat by Russia to sever
all friendly relations with the United
Btates in the event that congress g-oes
ahead with Its plan to abrogate the treaty
of 1822 with that country, has been made
to President Taft and Secretary of State
Knox by the Russian ambassador, Qeorg-e
Bakhmeteff.
Mr. Bakhmeteff protested against the
Bulzer resolution for the abrogation of
the treaty on the ground that its final
adoption would be Inconsistent with, the
long friendship that has existed betwestr
the United Slates and RUBsUt, ' . '
, While neither the president nor 8ec
Jretaiy ICnor "wag alarmed over the turn
of affairs, it Is said at the White House
determined effort would be made by
senate leaders to modify the Bulger reso
lution. .
Objects to Term of Resolution.
Owing to the reticence of all concerned
In the negotiations It was Impossible to
learn the exact nature of the protest It
Is believed, however, to have been di
rected principally against the language
of the Sulzer resolution, which boldly de
clares that Russia had violated the terms
of the treaty of 1&2.
When informed of this. Mr. Sulzer,
chairman of the house committee on for
elgn relations, declared that he saw noth
ing insulting to "sensitive Russia" In his
resolution and believed it would go
through tho seuato without modification.
Action on the Russian treaty is sched
uled In the senate for Monday next, but
.It was Indicated that consideration of the
Subject might be delayed. Meanwhile
diplomatic negotiations are being con
tinued with Russia.
Protest Made Friday Night.
The Russian protest was made last
right. Later the ambassador and,8ecre-,
tary Knox called at the White House and
took the matter up with the president In
a lengthy conference. Today the secre
tary of state and the president considered
the matter at lengthand it was not until
this conference was ended that the mat
ter became public.
Mr. Bakhmeteff let It be known that
Russia was de.-idodly dissatisfied with
the Sulzer resolution.
It was from senators who visited the
White House that Mr. Taft learned that
an effort would be made to modify In the
acnate the Sulzcr resolution as It came
from the house.
Following the conference between Sec
retary Knox and the president, the Rus
sian ambassador called at 'the State de
partment and was closeted for sonio time
with the secretary. Both denied that the
ituation was at all serious, but would
ot discuss the details of their conference
or of the call at the White House.

HOUSE SPENDING
TOO MDCH MONEY
i
Chairman Fitzgerald Says Expenses
of Special Committees Arc
Too Large.
SPEAKS ON DEFICIENCY BILL
Amount la Large Because Estimates
Last Year 'We're Pruned exces
sively by Officials to
Make Showing.
WASHINGTON, Deo. 1C "The house
steel trust" investigating committee Is
costing congress $2,7UO a month, while
extra stenographic work for the limine
committees at this session Is costing
12,000 a month, according to statements
made In a speech In the house by Chair
man Fltsgerald of the house committee
on appropriations. He added that the
sugar trust Investigating committee was
coating $200 a month and the committee
Investigating -postofflce expenditures 1325
month.
Charges that the executive heads of the
'government had pruned the appropriation
estimate last year below the actual
needs of the government service also
marked the gpcech of Chairman F1U
gerald, when the house took up the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill.
The bill -as reported from committee
carried I2,!",50. a reduction of 1,083,5S9
front the estimates, of departments.
'Estimates Are Too Low.
"Most ef the appropriations carried by
this bill are needed because the depart
ments put In estimates too low laat
year," said Mr. Fitzgerald. "We don't
believe It Is economy or good sense to
cripple any government service by prun
ing estimates below the actual require
ments." Every new expenditure we authorize Is
added to the prospective deficit In the
treasury," said Representative Fltzger-
ld In attacking an increase of the pub-
Uo building program.
"If this keeps on the house will not be
devoting its efforts to reducing tho bur
dens of taxation, but must find new
methods of ralBlng revenue," he said.
Chairman Fitzgerald declared congress
had gone "wild" In authorizing new pub
lic buildings, and that a limit must be
put on such activity.
Mr. Fitzgerald said he considered the
rates paid for extra stenographic work
for the Investigating committee "grossly
extravagant."
Mann Agrees with Kltsg-erald.
Republican Leader Mann declared the
expenditures of the Investigating commit
tees were excessive.
The democratic leaders asked for an
efficiency appropriation of SGO.OOO to meet
the expenses of the house.
Mr. Fitzgerald said the total miscellan
eous expenditures of the house for the
year exclusive of salaries probably would
be about the same as In previous years.
Mr. Mann demanded to know the larg
est salaries paid to employes pf the dem
ocratic Investigation committees.
"I think we finally will have to demand
an Investigation of the employes of the
investigating committees," he said.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan.. Deo, W.
Mllitary officials at Fort Riley today
continued their Investigation of the
alleged plot to annihilate the post with fire
and dynamite details of which became
public with the confession Tuesday night
of Private, Michael Quirk. The same
secrecy which has characterized the
movements of officials since the beginning
of the Investigation weeks ago waa main
tained. i It la said detail of the . alleged plot
might not have., been, made publla for
many days had .not,.. Quirk's friends
threatened habeas corpus proceedings to
Obtain tho private's release unices the
charge against him waa stated definitely.
Following; these threats army officials
were forced to have warrants Issued. The
arrest i of the Rev. C. M. Brewer, former
army chaplain, on charges by federal
authorities end Mrs. Annu Jordan, later
released, . followed.
Army officials . It is said with six
soldiers under arrest, now are giving their
whole attentlonvto finding those, not
guilty of actual acts, but who are said to
have guilty knowledge of the real
criminals. No doubt Is expressed at the
fort that enough evidence has been ob
tained by confession1 and by corroborative
lest to convict all whom tho officials will
Implicate In the affair.
Army officials today said the delay In
bringing the Rev. Mr. Brewer to the
pout was due to the difficulty of obtain
ing the approval of federal district Court
officers at Topeka of the warrant Issued
by United States Commissioner Chase.
Officials today said that the Quirk con
fession accusing the former chaplain of
Implication was not the only testimony
against him. This they said waa cor
roborated by other evidence of the
presence of the defendant In or near
Junction City atthe time of the crimes
alleged..

MNAMARA'S NAME IN CASE
At Time of Ills Arrest, Detectives
Believed He Had Something
to Do with Omaha Ki (
plosions.
When John J. McNamara was arrested
April 12, 1911, two dynamiting cases had
occurred In Omaha and It waa said at
the time that he, in connection with
others Involved In the ls Angeles case,
may have had something to do with them.
In Omaha In July, 1910, the power house
of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company was dynamited and In
March, 1911, the Douglas county court
house was dynamited.
On tho morning of March 24 at- about
1 o'clock an attempt waa made to blow
up the new Douglaa county court house
with dynamite. Two charges of explosive
were placed In the south and southwest
parts .of the basement. The explosions
blew out fou? partitions on the first and
Second floors and caved In fifty square
feet of floor" apace, doing damage to the
exent of f IB, 000.
The first explosion occurred t 13. M
o'clock and the other a moment later.
At the time of the first explosion the
watchmau, W. H. Rrookover, waa In the
watohhouse at Seventeenth and Harney
streets arid had Just completed Ms rounds
of the building and found everything In
the usual condition. The first charge of
explosive was placed at the foot of an
arch at the south sldo of the building
between two columns which were twenty
four Inches apart. Had It not been that
the windows and doors of the building
were open the shock of the first explosion
probably would have rased the southwest
corner of the building. Large steel beams
and steel columns were curled as though
they were fire, and massive stones were
Jarred from tho base of two of the col
umns. Tho second explosion caved In fifty
squaro feet of floor space and Jarred
beums and columns In the extreme south
west corner of the building loose.

Tho court house was being constructed
by tho Caldwell & Drake company and
simultaneously wlthm the blowing up of
the court houne the contractors' office
at the Coldwell & Drake structural Iron
works at Columbus, Ind., wus wrecked
by a dynamite explosion. A few days
later Mr. Caldwell received an anonymous
letter telling him to stop trying to catch
the dynamiters or the rest o flits plant at
Columbus would be destroyed.

resolutions: -
. Resolutions on Tariff.
Resolved, That In line with tho eco
nomic thought which guided Washington,
Hamilton and Jefferson In the propaga
tion of this government we tavor a
proper protection to .ivety American In
dustry based on thtt difference of cost
of production at home and abroad.
, Resolved, That we Indorse the tariff
commission Idea as the proper nuvlium
through which the difference. In cost of
pfouuedon of wool at home and abroad
Can be ascertained and commend Prcxt
dent Taft for hla stand In vetoing the
wool turlff bill before such Information
was obtained.
Resolved, Inasmuch as the wool trade
of tho world Is satisfactorily conducted
In valuing wool upon the woured bssls,
we believe It affords the most enulinhlo
and satisfactory plan of levying duties.
If It Is possible to buy and sell wool in
this way we can see no roaxou why the
government cannot levy and collect Its
import duties upon the bojiio IihsIh.
Resolved. That we are unalterably op
posed to the levying of a duty based on
the greaxe basis, under present condi
tions, an applied In the Payne, law, and
we are arrayed eu.uu.lly against any col
lection of duties boned on the ad val
orem system.
Ha It Resolved. That we Indorse un
qualifiedly the spectrin scoured pound
basis as the only scientific, equitable and
permanent basis on which Iminort duties
on wool can be collected, and we favor
fair compensatory and protective duties
on the manufacturers of wool.
Other resolutions were: . .
Resolved, That while realising the ulti
mate benefits of a properly constructed
and equably adinliilsterod land leuss law,
yet we leel at thin time that neither the
government nor congress are In posses
sion of proper and suitlclent data for the
formula Uuti of any blanket land lease
law that would be permanent or equit
able. Resolved, That the genorul liiipresalon
prevailing throughout the public press
mid In the minds of the consumer is
that the producer of wool and mutton
Is deriving an unjust toll from the con
sumer of these products.
Resolved, That we hereby demand that
the secretary of commerce and labor
make an investigation of the facta In the
case and submit to congress a statement
showing the distribution ot costs in both
wool and mutton from the time It leaves
the hands of the producer until U Is
purchased by the consumer.
Want Rights to Forests.
The resolutions further declare that an
amendment should be made to tho forest
laws giving "proper recognition to the
live stock Interests;" that rates for graz
ing in the national forests should be re
duced; that a commission should be ap
pointed to classify all unoccupied public
lands and report its findings to the presi
dent and congress, together with a bill
for the "disposal of public unoccupied
domain that will be permanent and based
on commercial demands and practical
usage;" that the government be asked to
establish wool departments in agricultural
colleges; that congress be axked to pass
a law offering a bounty for the killing of
wild animals, which cause to stockmen
a loss of flS.UW.OOO annually.
The practice of wool growers of putting
foreign substances In their clip to make
It weigh heavier was condemned. The
National Warehouse .and Htorage com
pany was endorsed.
