' . WASHINGTON. April 14. (Special.) Railroad rate legislation, and kindred top ics will again be brought prominently to the attention of the public with the meet ings here, beginning Monday, of tho Sen ato committee on interstate commerce, which will assemble for the purpose of ventilating the subject in a. manner more thorough than any heretofore on record. The meeting will ba held in tho commit tee's rooms at the Capitol and will bo public- Senator Elkins of West Virginia will preside. "The Republican members are Cullom (Illinois), Aldrich (R. L), JCcan (N. J.), Dollivcr (Iowa), Foraker (.Ohio), Clapp (Minn.), and Millard (Neb.). The Democrats are Tillman (S. C). Mc Jaurln (Miss.), Carmack (Tcnn.), Foster (La.), and Newlands (Nev.). Esch-Townsend Bill a Basis. As a basis of consideration, the Esch Townsend bill, passed by tho House at the last session, will bo expected to serve. The committee had tho measure before it many days before the adjournment of the last Congress and was urged to put it on Its passage. Arguments 'were ad vanced, however, protesting against hasty action because of the alleged radical character of this measure, and the Im portance of the interests Involved. Chair man Elkins and Senator Foraker were among those who advocated delay, and the committee, near the close of tho ses sion, after much time had been devoted to hearings, reported to the Senate a res olution authorizing it to continue the hoarings during the recess. This author ity was granted and Monday's meeting will be the Initial meeting under that authority. Will Take Reams of Evidence. Although the House committee on inter state commerce, which evolved the Esch bill, took sufficient testimony to fill sev eral largo volumes, and although the Sonate committee was not Idle in that rogard, the investigation of the subject now imminent promises to be most ex haustive. Both sides, in fact many sides, of the case will be heard. The commit tee expects to take the testimony of railroad experts, some of the best-known railroad men In the country among them. Tostlmony taken before the defunct In dustrial commission will also be offered, and members of Congress, specially lnter osted, will be heard. The views of the Interstate Commerce Commission will be obtained and President Roosevelt's ut terance and writings will figure promi nontly. It is predicted that the sessions of the committee will occupy not less than two months, although Its members are not delighted with tho prospect of spending much of the heated term In -Washington. Will Prepare New Bill. The .fact that opposition to the Ech Townsend bill is pronounced Is not de nied. Although- that measure may serve as a base of consideration, but little of ii wlll be left whon the committee - pre pares such measure as It may deem propor to present to the United States Senate. The House bill does not bear on the private car and refrigerator lino evil, so seriously, complained of, and part of the bill to be produced by the Senate com mittee will be devoted to this feature. Although the hearings may be ex pected to close some time in June, it is not believed that the" bill will at once be prepared. There will be executive ses sions after the public hearings, and it may be late in the Summer before the measure is ready which is to be submitted for the consideration of the Congress 'at the extra session to be convened primarily for the purpose some time in October. WHICH NATION OWNS WATER? Commission to Decide Dispute on International Rivers. WASHINGTON, April 14. Tho Presi dent has appointed a special commission to deal with three important questions which have risen relative to the diver sion and Interference with the course of international rivers. This commission consists of Judge Penficld, solicitor for the State Department; Special Assistant Attorney-General McBurch and Professor F. H. Newell, of the Geological Survey, and has just had its first meeting. All the questions before the commission have formed the subject of extensive corres pondence between the State Department and Mexico on the South and the Domin ion of Canada as represented by Great Britain on the North. On the South there Is that long-standing controversy growing out of the damming of the Rio Grande and the use of the waters of tho upper river for ir rigation purposes in American territory to, the injury of tho Mexican farmers on the right bank of tho river. The Mexi cans claim that the Rio Grande Is nav igable and consequently that this diver sion of the water Is in violation of Inter national law. To the westward, the com mission! is to deal with the Colorado River, where the upper waters in Ameri can territory arc also about to be di verted, to tho loss of the Mexican ranches In Lower California. On the north, the Milk River projects In Montana have alarmed tho Canadians. Arising in the United States, this river flows into Canada and back again Into Montana. The Canadians have been mak ing largo use of the waters on their side, which has led to a project by the people of "Montana to cut out the entire bend in the river on the Canadian side, by a canal, the effect of which would be to completely deprive tho Canadians of water. The commission will have to deal with some entirely new questions refer ring to riparian rights. As a result of a conference with Secre tary Taft, it was decided that, as projects such as the international dam of the Rio Grande River and the reclamation dam on the Colorado River had been author ized by Congress, there was nothing to do but to proceed with the work, leav ing the broader question of International riparian rights to be treated diplomatically. INDIANS ROBBED OF THEIR LAND WInnebagoes Complain of Wholesale Fraud by Agents. WASHINGTON, April 14. (Special.) From the Winnebago Indians of Nebraska has come a vigorous complaint to the Sec rotary of" the Interior and the Commis sioner of Indian Affairs of the manner in which that tribe has been robbed of Its lands and cast Into outer darkness by the white man for the past 25 years. Tho Winnebago Indians declare that their lands, which have apparently been sold by them, have been taken away fraudulently. Members of the tribe,, they assert, have "been forced to sign blank papers they knew nothing about, the checks they have received have been tak en from them by force, or offset by enor mous whisky bills, their agents have falsi fied the itemized accounts sent to the de rtartment, and during the last three months cave ridden all over tho reserva tion settings signatures from Indians' to papers which enabled speculators to get hold of their property. The climax, they charge, came, when their agent himself handed to a specula tor the receipt, the Government check and money belonging to tho Indians, to pay fraudulent debts and whisky notes of the Indians, without Investigation or hearing and without the knowledge and consent of the Indians. The complaint is transmitted by Philip Long, a Winnebago; and Is signed by more than a hundred of his tribesmen. MUST ASK JAPAN'S CONSENT Preliminary to Obtaining Japanese Laborers for Canal. WASHINGTON, April 14. The executive committee of the Panama Canal Commis sion, Messrs. Shonts, Magoon and Wal lace, today decided to draw up specifica tions to govern in the employment of la bor on the canal.

DEADLOCK IN CHICAGO STRIKE Mayor's Mediation Falls, and Strik ers Use Clubs as Arguments. CHICAGO, April 14. After a day and a large part of the night spent in conference with both sides in the Montgomery, Ward & Co. strike. Mayor Dunne late tonight announced that he had made no progress toward a settlement of tho trouble, and he did not seem hopeful that an adjust ment will come in the near future. Fur ther conferences will be held tomorrow, but it Is not thought tonight by either the employers or tho strikers that any ar rangements will be reached. The great obstacle to the settlement Is that the teamsters instet that the strike of the garment-workers, now four months old, be arbitrated before the teamsters return to work, and tho employers Insist that the teamsters return to work before anything is done concerning the garment-workers. The Mayor endeavored tonight to bring about a joint conference, but neither side would consent to meet the other. Montgomery, Ward & Co. succeeded In sending more goods to tho freight depots today than at any time slnco the com mencement of the strike. All of the wag ons were under police protection, but thero was less violence than on any of the preceding days. The Mayor declined tonight to discuss the charges brought to his attention that a bribe had been offered for the settle ment of the strike. A fight between union and nonunion men which almost attained the magnitude of a riot took place tonight at Stato and Van Buren streets, a crowd of union men at tacking four nonunion men who were leaving a restaurant. The nonunion men fought desperately, but wore overwhelmed by numbers and compelled to run. All of them sustained scalp wounds, and Jamea F. Galley, one of tho attacking party, was stabbed in the arm. His injuries aro not serious. James Mallory, a teamster, 31 years old, who had delivered a load of merchandise to Montgomery, Ward & Co., was tonight dragged by several strikers Into an alley at Jackson boulevard and Stato street and beaten into insensibility. FIGHT FOR THE CLOSED SHOP Santa Fe Boilermakers Strike Against Nonunion Men. TOPEKA, Kan., April 14. The boil ermakers on the Santa Fe system be tween Chicago and Albuquerque, more than 200 in all. went on strike this morning. The strike was ordered by the officers of tho Brotherhood of Boilermakers at Kansas City. One hun dred bollermakers walked out here, but the Santa Fe officials Insist there is no strike at this point "Business is dull." said General Foreman Jonn Pur cell, "and wo have laid off some men. That is all." The men say they have quit work because of sympathy with the boiler makers on the Western division of the road, admitting that they themselves have no grievance. In reality the whole affair Is a struggle for the closed-shop principle. The Santa Fe has won Its flgbt with the machinists, and is now conducting its shops here on the open shop plan. Tho bollermakers allege the road is employing nonunion men whenever possible and they fear that, if this continues, their union will soon be in the same position as that of the machinists. Santa Fe officials deny that they are discriminating in any way, either for or against the union. Mother Jones In Copper Country. HOUGHTON, Mich., April 14.

April 14 Act ing upon the general belief that the state hood bill waa 'defeated In the last Con gress by reason of the controversy over union of New Mexico and Arizona, a movement ha been launched in Oklahoma and Indian Territory to enter a vigorous protest against being included in a bill where New Mexico and Arizona are con cerned.

The im perial rescript addressed yesterday to tho Minister of the Interior, M. Boullgan, cre ating a special commission under his pres idency to discuss the questions relating to peasant tenure of land?, is direct recogni tion of the grave peril Involved In the spreading peasant agitation, which threat ens not only the big estates, but the Im perial domains. The instructions in the rescript to work out a system clearly marking off peasant land from the land of other owners, "in order to inculcate in the people -a perception of property owner ship," amounts to an imperial-refutation of the stories current among the peas ants that the Emperor had decreed a new division of the land. It Is feared, however. It may have ex actly the contrary effect to the one de sired among the ignorant peasantry, and that shrewd agitators will be able to em ploy the rescript bearing upon the general subject of the Increase of peasant lands as being a confirmation Instead of a de nial of the representations that the agi tators had previously circulated about the Emperor's Intention to redistribute the land. Two methods of relief aro proposed by the rescript the purchase of additional land by the aid of a peasants' bank, and the colonization of Siberia. The creation of the new commission sounded the knell of the old "Wltte com mission, which is simultaneously abol ished. M. "Witte's commission, which was of a much broader character, covering all questions relating to peasant administra tion, created a tremendous stir two years ugo, being the signal for much outspoken criticism of the present regime on the part of the Zemstvos, notably that of Tver, which was "revised" out of exist ence by the late Interior Minister Von Plehve. An Immense amount of material was collected by the commission, but Its work became so diffuse and it accom plished so little in the way of tangible results that its paesing away has aroused no regret. But the supplanting of one commission by another serves to emphasize the criti cism of the Liberals in regard to the futlU ity of reforms conducted by bureaucratic commissions. The government claims, however, that, ae the work of the new commission Is being restricted solely to the question of devising ways for supply ing the peasants with additional land, it should speedily accomplish something. Nevertheless, In quarters familiar with the situation among the peasants serious doubt" are experienced as to whether the rescript will have an appreciable effect In allaying the agrarian agitation. "Like all the acts of the autocracy. It comes too late," said a prominent noble man, who has a large estate near Mog hileff, and who considers It unsafe to live upon his property. ' The active head of the neV commission will be M. Goremykn, a former Minister of tho Interior, who is extremely well equipped for the work assigned to him. For a long time he was the Senator in charge of the Senate section relating to peasant affairs, in which he is an expert. M. Goremykn was Minister of the Interior for a phort time before M. Siplagulne, and his administration generally was not marked by any of the harshnesses which drew down upon the heads of his two suc cessors the doom of the terrorists. JUST RECEIVED "ROBINSON AND WELLS" ENGLISH -TAILORED HATS Its Influence Upon Home Life It is universally conceded jthat there is no more refining Influence1 than that of music. Such being the case, it is eminently the duty of every head of a family to pave the way to the entrance Into his home of the instrument that will yield the largest amount of musical en joyment to those within Its confines. Without his knowledge some member or members of his family may crave music, and we believe the piano is the Instrument best calculated to satisfy that craving. A Fischer piano would be a good piano for your purpose, from whichever standpoint you are pleased to look. The Fischer Dlano has been dubbed "the art- Hstlc home piano of America." It has an unlmpcached character stanaingr or nearly three-quarters of a century, and It is a piano of which any home may be proud. In fact, all our pianos are selected in that way, and the prices are such that they come within the reach of every mu sical home, and It Is up to tho parents to provide this means to further the musical progress of their children, especially when the same can be done while they (the parents) are saving up to pay for 1L A visit to our warerooms will show a variety of instruments enough to satisfy a great diversity of tastes. If you are too far out to call, write and catalogues and full particulars about prices and payments will be sent you. CONCESSIONS TO WORKMEN. Finance Minister Tells Delegation Laws Are Being Prepared. ST. PETERSBURG. April 15. (1:15 A. M.) In receiving a delegation of work men from Moscow yesterday Finance Minister Kokovseff gave notice to the workmen of Russia that a government commission Is now formulating legisla tion to remedy the greater part of their grievances. Including stato Insurance against sickness, accident and death and for shortening the hours of labor, abol ishing the prohibition of unions and crim inal punishment for strikes, and for the establishment of an Industrial court, in which employers and employes shall be represented. The Minister pointed out to the delega tion the Impossibility of elaborating In a moment legislation of such weighty and far-reaching character. He declared that the energy with which the commission is working gave It the right to demand suf ficient time for the preparation and con sideration of the proposed laws, and said that industrial disturbances such as have occurred hamper instead of furthering the work. The Moscow workmen presented a pe tition of rights under 11 heads, five of which are covered In the foregoing state ment. Regarding the others the Minister said the commission was considering the widening of tho sphere of action of the "factory elders'' on the lines of the fac tories commissions of Germany and re strictions as to overtime, but tho further points are the technical education of workmen, extension of factory legislation to cover handiwork industries and the re vision of existing laws so as to place workmen and employers on an equal foot ing. He declared that education was not in the province of the Minister of Finance. Handiwork legislation, he said, was a big question, which would have to be ap proached later, and workmen must be prepared to accept equal responsibility with equal privilege. This Interview with the Minister of Finance, lasting an hour and a half. Is another Indication of the general concil iators' spirit of the government. The evi dent desire to cure, wherever possible, tho maladies of the empire is manifested by the peasant commission, the Finnish and Polish concessions and the establishment of the Bouligan pommisslon. The govern ment throughout takes the stand that all these reforms are too great to be lightly or hastily handled, and that premature and ill-considered legislation would be worse than nono at all. It appeals to the dissatisfied to give their rulera a full and fair chance to accomplish the legislation they demand. WHOLE EMPIRE IN A FERMENT Russia Has Good Prospect cf Bloody May Day. ST. PETERSBURG. April 14-Dovelop-ments all point to a crisis in tho present agitation among the workmen of the cities and the peasants In the country on May day, and appeals are pouring in from all quarters of Russia for military protection. The St Petersburg workmen are prepar ing a great demonstration. Arms and bombs in large quantities havo been smuggled In, and bloodshed on a large scale Is feared. "Wealthy persons, who ordinarily go to villas on tho islands of the Neva or to neighboring country places, this year are going abroad. The govern ment has taken few special measures to meet the situation, evidently relying on the troops and police -to suard tho-capitat ALLEN & GILBERT RAMAKER CO. COR. SIXTH AND MORRISON The latter are extremely active. All the prominent agitators are being arrested or have already been sent back to the vil lages from which they originally came. The prisons aro filled to overflowing. There have been fresh disputes between the workmen and the managers of the Putlloff, Baltic and Nevskl works, and be tween the employes and the management of the government cartridge factory. At the latter place the men refuse to con tinue to donate any portion of their pay to assist In the' support of families of the soldiers at the front, claiming that the money is used to prosecute the war, to which they are opposed. The news received from the interior is alarming, especially from the Baltic Provinces, where the entire population Is in a state of Intens excitement. The cities are being flooded with revolutionary proclamations, calling on the people to rise on May day. The criminal classes are taking advantage of the situation to pillage and plunder, while In the country the landlords are powerless to cope with the peasants, and are demanding the sta tioning of troops at every station. From Dunaburg. Government of Vitebsk, come reports that the Jews are In a state of panic over the-circulation of proclama tions similar to those which preceded the outbreaks at Kiahlncf and Gomel. At EkaterinosHw, three revolutionists, who were surrounded by police, fought their way to liberty, killing or wounding several of the latter. A dispatch from Kars says that- the employe of the Trans-Caucasian Railrqad are on, strike, and" that 100 miles of the track has been damaged. Private advices from Reval, Government of Esthonia; are that the pollco are fol lowing their old -practice of dividing the population against Itself. They are trying to excite the natives against the Germans, and the position of the latter is becoming so-alarming that many are going abroad. IF THEY WILL ONLY BE QUIET Governor of Caucasus Promises Peo ple Many Good Things. TIFLIS, April 14. A proclamation of Count Von Vorlntzoff-Dashkoff, the new Governor-General of the Caucasus, was gazotted today, announcing that In accordance with the Intentions of Emperor Nicholas, the Governor-General will, when he assumes office, con voke conferences of representatives of all the towns, peasant communities and orthodox, Armenian and Mohammedan Churches, with the view of concerting: measures for the establishment of pub He security, defining the amendments necessary to the judicial procedure of the Caucasus and introducing Zemstvo administration. The Governor-General also proposes to hasten the surveys of the crown lands available for cultivation; that they may be allotted to those In need of land. The proclamation adds that the Emperor has ordered a revision of the question of tho confiscation of the Armenian Church property, and con cludes by urging the maintenance of tranquillity, so that conditions In the Caucasus may speedily be Improved In accordance with the Imperial re script of March 3. RIGHTS QF THE RAILROAD MEN Hllkoff Promises New Laws to Men on Siberian Road. ST. PETERSBURG. April 35. (1:15 A. M.) Before leaving St. Petersburg for Siberia to superintend the Improvement of the Trans-Siberian Railway and to In augurate a river transportation service In Siberia, Minister of Railways Hllkoff Is sued a circular to every employe an nouncing that he had ordered the speedy preparation of legislation covering many points for the Improvement of conditions of service and the rights of employes, in accordanco with a petition by workmen, as well as a disciplinary statute. He promised to consider an increase -of waes in some cases and the abolition of a large amount of correspondence and red tape in railway management, but he reminded the employes that many of their demands cover unsatisfactory con ditions necessarily connected with the ex isting state of war.
