that President Roosevelt did in effect

which has been investigating the mer

steei corporation made its report today.
al4 for Zt la snook.
At the' meeting of the subcommittee
iaie tnis arternoon the report was
adopted by a vote of t to 3. The three
making up the majority were Senators
Culberson, Overman and Kltrldge. The
minority -consisted of Senators Clark
of Wyoming and Dillingham. It was
also determined to present the report
for tbe consideration of. the full com
mittee At its regular meeting Monday.
The report further finds that the steel
corporation purchased $30,876,825 of the
Tennessee company's stock, being all
but $22,160 outstanding.
Little cash, was passed in the ex
change, It Is alleged, the larger part
of the payment being made in steel
stock.
The subcommittee holds that when
the president wrote to the attorney
general mat ne nao tola tne steei
officials he did not feel it hla duty
to interpose any objections to the pro-
Sosed merger; this was, In effect, a
lrectlon to the official not to Inter
fere. Tennessee Was Simply Bqnaessd.
As for the president's assertion that
his reason for his noninterference was
that a certain firm of New York was
likely to fail if help was not given and
mat among its assets was a majority or
securities of the Tennessee company,
the subcommittee declares the firm 4n
question was that of More tt Schley,
and It quotes from, the testimony of
Grant B. Schley, a member of the firm,
to show that it did not hold as assets at
that time any portion whatever of the
Tennessee company's stock. It had out
standing loans on about $8,000,000 Of
those securities, however, and had bor
rowed much larger amounts on other
securities, and the reDorf describes hA

see that laws are faithfully executed:
Giving; a statement collected from
vaxious sources as lo uie enormous re
sources of the Tennessee company, the
report says it was only second to the
steel corporation itself in wealth of
raw materials for the manufacture of
iron ana steei ana it charsea that th
effect of the purchase and merger was
to monopolize the iron ore of the coun--try
and eliminate the Tennessee com
pany as a competitor.

That the Dole which sweDt Frank J.

Oregon Electric Railway company, off
the top of a box car at Porter and

was the discovery madesoon after the

iasi evening.
As a. result, tne lnaueat was soon
adjourned until 6 o'clock Monday aft

upon the railway company last even
ing that at the hearing Monday he
would expect some one who knew of the
removal or the pole to be present and
tell Mm why this was done.
McKlnley was Injured early Thurs
day morning near the oar barns of the
company. He died In a hospital that
evening, his back having been broken
either by the fall to the ground or by
being struck by a car as fie fell.

The stealing of little Kin Toy, the
wife of Chin Du, a member of the
firm of -On Hlng company,- 66 Becond
street, ; took place last Friday- from
Chin Du's home at the southeast corner
of Fourth and Pine streets. It is the
last turn given' the war between the
two factions of the Bow On tong. The
highbinders scored last week, but their
vlotory was short lived, for the friends
of Chin Du, knowing that it was a
matter of , one faction against another
and as much their fight as his, left no
stone unturned In the search for the
misaing woman and her abductor.
Arrarted la Astoria.
Kin Toy ' and the Chinaman, whose
name appears on the warrant only as
John Doe, were arrested in Astoria
yesterday morning. Detective Price,
accompanied by Ah Sing, an interpreter,
went to Astoria last evening. Th of
ficer was armed with a warrant charg
ing Kin Toy and John Doe with larceny
in a dwelling, the formal complaint
needed to bring the unknown Chinaman
back to face trial here. Chin Du's
friends say that before the abduction
took place his home was looted from
top to bottom, and all the valuables
that did . not occupy too much space
taken out of the house In broad day
light and Quietly hurried down to the
launch, which, in an obscure corner of
a city aoeic was waiting ror tne trip.
The ride down the Columbia must
have occupied several days, for the
?i lot naturally followed .the byways of
he river and took his time, knowing
he and his captives were safert on the
river than ashore.
Tbe war between the two factions of

(Special DUpntch to The Journal.)
Astoria. Or.. Feb. 20. At an earlv
hour thin morning a police officer saw
several Chinese about to put out in the
Columbia in a small launch, and their
mysterious movements aroused suspi
cions. He ran forward and called unon
them to surrender, when it developed
that the occupants of the launch were
Chinese. He arrested -them and In a
few minutes it was found that one of
the occupants of the midnight party was
uninese woman. ne was attired In
men s garments.
Tne little Chinese woman whs taken
o the police station, and is still there.
There has been much excitement anion
the Chinese here, but the facts of the
matter could not be ascertained from the
local Chinese, more than an intimation
that highbinders were mixed up In the
matter. One Chinese states she was
kidnaped from Portland three or four
days ago and brought to this city,
where she has been kept In hiding ever
since.
It was evidentlv nlanned in snlrlt tir
away and get her on board some vessel,
but the plans of the abductors were
frustrated by the police officer. The
woman can not. or will not talk, though
ah apparently originally came from San
Francisco. Chinese are down from Port
land tonight In regard to the case. Im
migration officers looked up her case
tonight, but were apparently satisfied,
though they did not know of her pre
sumed kidnaping from Portland. The
woman is small, good looking, and Is
wight and vivacious. Suppressed ex
citement is tonight very apparent among
local Chinese, and ruards are out around
several places, Indicating that trouble I
feared.
