committee would roport adversely on
Senator Fulton's bill, providing that
no interstate freight rate shali be in
creased until the Interstate Commerce
commission shall hold such increase to
be reasonable.
Mr. Elkins says this adveree report

roceived from Chairman Knapp, of tho

ing it ia the opinion of that commission
that euch legislation is inadvisable.
Washington, Feb. 20. Thero was a

army appropriation bill appropriating
$25,0000 for tho purchase of 0,000 acres
of land neartWashington, D. C, for a
target range. Mann, Illinois, opposed
the proosition and ridiculed the idea of
paying $40 an aero for such propeity.
After tho provision had been further
debated, it was stricken out on a point
of order by Mann.
The last paragiph of the bill also
met an obstruction in Mann, who vigo
rously attacked tho proposition it in
volved of giving tho chief of ordnance
discretion in purchasing ordnance sup
plies without publicly divulging their
ingredients, and the provision wont out
on a point of order.
The bill then was passed, carrying a
total appropriation of $81,757,506. a

Washington, March 4. That Olon
gapo, on Sublg bay, in tho Philippines,

President Bryan Compares Schools
With Thoso of Europei
President 13. A. Bryan, of tho Wash
ington State college, haa returned from
his to ir of the European capitola, and
at present ia preparing a aeries of lec
tures, tho subjects of which ho gathered
while abroad. President Bryan's trip
was something in tho naturo of an in
vestigation of modern education, both
technical and classical, aa found in the
most advanced and greatest educational
institutions of nations. Beforo leaving
America he visited several of America's
most famous institutions, and both in
England and on the continent called at
tho world's best known centers of learn
ing. Ilia conclusions wero recently
stated aa follows:
"I boiiove the time is not remotely
distant when the educational institu
tions, of the West, meaning tho western
part of the United Statei, will be fully
as efficient, and as famed as the best
universities and colleges of the old
world. The tremendous fund of natu
ral wealth In Western states, the rapid
development now in progress, the geo
graphical position with reference to the
new commercial empire cf the Pacific,
and the wide-awake nature of Woetern
people make these things certain.
Nover again will men have a Western
frontier to look to when seeking new
homes for tho expansion of new ideas.
Humanity has made its path around the
globe, and now, at the journey's end,
the Pacific coast, must there be an up
building, and intensive, rather than ex
tensive, development of all institu
tions. What this means to Uio people
of the West they do not at present fully
comprehend. But the progress ol
eventa nowadays fs very rapid, and the
work of these Tie w forces will be evi
dent within only a few years."
Old Superstition Refuted,
Br J. L. Aahlock, Washington State Colleg-e,
Pullman.
The results of an experiment, which
for the past fifteen years has been in
progress at the state experiment sta
tion, completely refutes the old super
stition that n cold January and Febru
ary is apt to be followed by a warm
March and April, or that one year of
an average low temperature is apt to
be followed by a year in which the
temperature wili average higher.
Professor George Severance now has
the compilation of the weather data In
charge, and states the summarization
of results as follows:
"For the past fifteen yeara the ex
periment etation has kept a close rec
ord of Uio temperature of ea:h day of
the year, striking an average between
the temperature of morning and even
ing, which we call the 'mean tempera
ture.' Having kept the record for a
month the custom baa then been to get
tho average 'mean' for the entire
month. In this way we have com
pared Uio temperatures of each period
of January and February with the tem
perature of the following March and
April periods for the past fifteen years,
and we find that the variations from
Uio rule for determining what the tem
perature of spring will be by the tem
perature of winter, of one year by aver
aging the temperature of another, are
so frequent that it is proved that the
weather of one year or month, ur sev
eral months, is absolutely no index to
what subsequent temperatures will be."

Moscow
The formation of an Agricultural club

Sunday he visited the house, but was
unsuccessful in finding his intended
victim at home. At 7 o'clock yesterday
morning he made his third appearance,
but was informed by a servant that the
chief could not be seen till 9 o'clock.
When he returned af 9 o'clock the chief
was on the point of leaving for his
office. When admited at the front door
Averbuch handed the chief an envelope
bearing bis name and address, but the
latter, having heard of the previous
visits to his home, suspected that
something was wrong and seized him
by the arms. The envelope which was
found later to be only a ruse to gain
entrance, contained only a blank sheet
ol paper. The quickness with which
the chief acted upon his suspicion
doubtless saved hia life. Averbuch,
though slight in build, proved in hiB
desperation almost a match for Uio
chief, who is much larger, and the
latter found himself unable to holu
his assailant and search him for weap
ons at the same time. He therefore
called to'hia wife, who was in the next
room, asking her to ascertain whether
tbe man had a weapon in his pockets.
Mrs. Shippy discovered a revolver in
Averbucb's pocket, but before she could
remove it he struggled loose from the
grasp of the chief and, drawing a long
knife, stabbed he chief in tbe arm.
Thereupon the chief grappled again
with his assailant, who drew a revolver.
At that moment Harry Shippy, 19
years old, came rushing down the stair
way to his father's aid. Averbuch fired
two shots, one of which struck young
Shippy, who fell eeriously wounded.
Before Averbuch could fire again, James
Foley, the chief's driver, attracted by
tbe shooting, ran to the door and seized
Averbuch. The assassin struggled
loose from the embrace and fired a
shot, which pierced Foley's hand.
Thereupon both Mr. Foley and Mr.
Shippy emptied their revolvers into
Averbuch's body. One bullet entered
the man's breast near the heart ,and
another passed through hiB head. The
revolver dropped from his fingers and
ho died without a groan.
FATE IN DOUBT,
Seattle Fair Bill May Not Get By Its
House. Opponents.
Washington, March 3. The mem
bers of the Washington congressional
delegation are somewhat concerned over
the manliest unirienauneBs snown ny
the Republican leaders in the houeo
toward the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expo
sition bill. While they feel reason
ably certain that they will ultimately
secure an appropriation for government
buildings and exhibits, they realize
that the opposition of the "strongmen"
of the house Ib likely to make it difficult
to get as much money as they really
need, and they believe that a further
reduction in their bill will be injurious.
When the eenate paseed the Piles
bill it went to the house, and should
have been refetrcd to tho committee on
industrial arts and expositions, before
whioh tho Humphrey bill was pending.
Instead it was referred to tbe commit
tee on ways and means on the lame ex-
cuso that the bill contained a provision
authorizing the admission, free of duty,
of exhibits from foreign nations. This
committeo is antagonistic to the bill.
