to whether the eonhination controlling
tbe anthracite coat output constitute a
trust within the meaning of the Sher

on. In making tbi request the presi
dent gave Attorney General Knos tbe

TREATY OF ALLIANCE.
WOKK OF C0XGKESS
Rtiwwi! af th Dnlbun4 by th Thrt
Powtrs in It Orljlnal Kerav
Berlin, July 2.-The treaty provid
ing for the prolongation of tbe alliance
between Germany, Austria-Hungary
and Italy (tbe dreibond) ba been
gned in Berlin by the imperial chan
cellor, Count von Bulow; the Austrian
nibasaador, L. von Fsogyeny-Marich,
and tbe Italian ambassador, Count
Lansea di Bueca. Tbe alliance wa
renewed in its original form. Upon
tbe request of tbe imperial chancellor ,
the text of tbe new driebnnd treaty will
be kept secret for tbe present, and it is
not certain whether 1U publication
ill occur later.
The announcement of the signing ol
the dreibund did not cause surprise, as
the renewal had been taken as a fore
gone conclusion since Count von Bnlow
was in conference with the Italian and
Austrian minister during the Easter
holiday, uerman officials nave never
evinced the slightest concern at the
many reitorta emanating from Paris and
other diplomatic centers reporting the
proppect of a renewal of tbe dreibund
to be gloomy, and they knew all along
that Italy flirtation with France was
not intended to ba disloyalty to her
Teutonic allies.

Court Martial Pound General Jacob ft. Smith
Guilty of Vlolatlnj Rules of War.
Washington, July 2. It is an
nounced by tbe war department that
the case of General Jacob II. Smith will
not be acted upon before the end of the
present week, at the earliest. Judge
Advocate General Davis, has completed
is review of the proceedings of the
court martial and the papers are now
in the hands of Secretary Root, who is
so busy with other mattera that he has
not yet had time to give the case the
ttention it deserves.
It has been generally understood that
General Smith was acquitted by the
court, but it transpires that such waa
not the case, the court, it is alleged,
having found General Smith guilty of
iolating the rules of war and sen
tenced him to be reprimanded by the
reviewing authority, which, in this
case, is President Roosevelt. Inas
much as the raso is considered strictly
confidential until finally acted upon by
the president, it ia impossible to obtain
any official information in regard to it.

Two tytw Steamihlp Companies Start a Ser
vice Prom New York.
New York, July 2. Actual and pros
pective trade with South Africa has a
sumed such proportions since the term'
ination of the Anglo-Boer war that two
steamship companies have inauguisted
service between this city and South
African points. It is the intention of
the agents to maintain bi-weekly
service. For the last few years the
carrying trade between this port and
South Africa has been in the hands of
a combination consisting of three lines.
The new service has already resulted
in a reduction of rates.
'The demand," said an official of
one of the new lines, "is maiuly for
lumber and building materials, for
which cable orders are coming to this
country every day, and also largely for
supplies of grain and agricultural im
plements of all kinds is very large and
is rapidly increasing."
Trolley Car Overturns.
Denver, June 2. At 11 o'clock last
night an electric street car loaded with
people returning from a suburban re
sort, lumped tbe track and overturned
at West Thirty-eight avenue and
Homer boulevard, and 11 persons were
seriously injured and four of them are
likely to die. About 80 parsons were
on the car and all of them were more
or lees injured.
Cholera la Philippine!
Manila, July 2. According to official
reports there have been in Manila np
to date 1,740 cases of cholera and 1,381
deaths from the disease. The same re
ports for the provinces shows 0,444
cases an 7,038 deaths. Lieutenant Col
onel Louis M. Mans, the insular health
commissioner, says that there probably
have been 2,000 deaths from cholera in
the provinces, of which it is imposBi
ble to get records.
Washington, July 3. The work of
tbe first sen ion of the 67th congress
haa been marked by exceptional bad
ness activity, with many questions of
far-reacLbg importance and general
interest engaging attention. With tbe
exception of the Cuban reciprocity
bill, most of the larger subjects of gen
eral legislation have been enacted aa
laws. Notable among these larger
nieasure is the isthmian canal bill,
which consummates the efforts of half
a century to link together the waters of
tbe Atlantic and Pacific. Aside from
its national and international import
ance, this bill probably involves a larg
er sum of money than that covering any
other single undertaking by the govern
ment, outside of war exnditurea.
Tha Philippine civil government bill is
another measure of far reaching import
ance, extending to our remote Pacific
possessions a system of internal govern
ment together with coinage, currency,
banking, corporation, timber and home
stead laws.
Among the other important laws en
acted are those repealing tbe war reve
nue taxes, extending and making more
effective the Chinese exclusion laws;
establishing a tariff of goods to and
from the Philippines; extending the
charter of national banks for 20 years;
establishing a permanent census office ;
restricting the sale of oleomargarine by
placing a high tax on imitation butter;
providing a consular and diplomatic
service for Cuba; establishing an ex
tensive system by which tbe govern
ment will aid in tbe irrigation of th
arid sections of the west.
The repeal of the war revenue taxes
has reduced taxation (73,350,000, and
is said to be the largest single reduc
tion of taxation ever made in this coun
try. Bv this step the last of the taxes
imposed at the beginning of our war
with Spain are wiped out. The Phil
ippine tariff act imposes 75 per cent of
tha Dingley tariff rates on article com
ing from tbe Philippines to the United
States, and also imposes duty on arti
cles entering the Philippines from the
United States. The oleomargarine act
results from several years agitation
it places a tax ot lu cents a pound on
substances colored to imitate butter.
Tbe irrigation act is of special im
portance to the West. It creates an ir
rigation lund in the treasury depart
ment into w hich is to be paid the pro
ceeds of the sales of public lands in the
arid elates. This iund in turn is to be
used in storing water and establishing
irrigation systems, the irrigation sec
tions to be open to homesteaders, who
are to be charged a proportionate share
of the cost of tbe improvement.
The Chinese exclusion law continue
exclusion "until otherwise provided
by law," and also applies the exclusion
to the island territories under the jur
isdiction of the United States."
The amount of the appropriations of
the session will run unusually high,
owing in part to the amount required
to build tbe isthmian canal. When
Mr. Cannon submitted a general esti
mate of appropriations a few weeks ago,
he made the total up to that time
(691,445,000. Since then the canal bill
has been passed, carrying a present
ppropriation of (40,000,000 for the
franchise and enough more for the
rights of Colombia and for beginning
the work to carry the total tip to (5C,-
000,000. The entire cost of the under
taking is approximately (184,000,000.
This estimate also omitted several con
tracts and other expenditures which
will carry the grand total for the ses
sion almost it not quite up to the billion
dollar mark.
