REED'S HIGH HAND Will not Allow Congress Monkey With Finance. trusts are shaken The Supreme Court Decision Was a Vital Blow to the Pools and Combines. European Ambassadors Are Weakening- They Can nut Sustain Turkish Rule In Crete Illinois Rivera Caus ing Much Damage. Washington, March 26. The mem bers of the committee on legislation appointed at the Indianapolis mone tary convention of lastsumcner called on Speaker Reed today, and talked with him concerning legislation for currency and banking reform, ine spokesmen of tho delegation were Geo Foster Feabody, of New YorK; John P. Irish, of San Francisco; and II. H Manna, of Indianapolis. They spoke of the desirability of the passing- of a bill authorizing the presl dent to appoint a commission "to inves tigate the banking and currency syS' tem of the country atid recommend changes. If any bill embodying a sys tem acceptable to the business inter ests of the country could be passed they would endorse such legislation without creating any commission. The ne-d of changes in the present banking system which would insure a mere plentiful and elastic supply of circulation for the farming districts re mote from the cities was the principal point they urged in support of their movement. Heed told the committee the passage of a tariff bill was the first and princi pal work cut out for this session of congress. (Jongress moved taster man people in matters of legislation, he said, and when public sentiment be came crystallized in favor of any par ticular form of financial legislation, congress would be apt to respond with little delay. If the people demanded changes in the banking system and brought pressure to bear on congress, they would secure the changes.

New York, March, 26. The far- reaching effect of the Unitad States euDreme court's decision in the Trans Missouri Freight .Association ja be ginning to dawn upon persons in terested in pools and combinations of various sorts. The view grows general that the supreme court has' struck a vital blow at every form of trust and combination under the terms of Sher man anti -trust law, which is sustained by the decision. - They say the combination among the anthracite coal producing and car rying companies, sommonly called the coal trust, is illegal. It is claimed that freights on hard coal are the highest on any commodity in the country. This toll is fixed by the sombination. Another big combine which it is caime(j runs counter to this decision of tbe supreme court is the pooling ar rangements' between the . General Electric and tbe Westingbouse com' pun 163. Frederick Whiteridge, counsel for tbe reorganization committee of tbe Reading railroad, said: "If it is a penal offense, under the Sherman anti-trust "law for railroads to pool traffic, how about tbe labor organ izations tbe Knights of Labor, tbe American Railway Union, the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, and the firemen and other labor, organiza tions?"

Ad' miral Canaviro, it is said, asserts that conditions in the interior of the island are so terrible as the result of famine that even the lepers are leaving the lazar house; the inhabitants are panic- tricken, and the dead lie by the road side unburied.

The mem bers of the., executive committee ap pointed, by the-monetary conference at IndianapolU some weeks ago had an interview with Secretary Gage today at the treasury department. Tbe com mittee, which was headed by the chair man H. H.

Mr. Gage expressed himself as fully convinced of the necessity for such a commission, and he thought that no good could result from delaying its ap pointment. Business throughout the country was greatly depressed, and, in his opinion, there should be no delay in taking measures far tho general re lief. There was, however, be said, iu some quarters, 3erious doubt of the ex pediency of allowing legislation of any character whatever 'to interfere 'with the consideration and prompt passage of a tariff measure.

New York, March 29. The World prints the following accounts of the fall of the United Press: The New York Herald, the Tribune, the Times and the Evening Telegram withdrew from the United Press yes terday and signed 90-year contracts for the news of tbe Associated Press. An hour later the Philadelphia Record, Ledger and Telegraph, also deserted the United Press and joined tbe As sociated Press. This means the ab solute collapse of tbo United Press, its disappearance, its annihilation. The downfall of the ' United Press marks the end of what was intended to be "a great news trust," which was ex pected by its projectors to control the dissemination of news in the United States and strangle such publications as would not bow to lis will. The triumph of the Associated Press, is on the contrary, a victory for honest co-operation in news gathering and distributioa nnder a system which en titles each member cf the association to a free held aud no favors, and made every newspaper morally responsible for tbo accuracy of tbe news furnished.

Constant Williams,- of the Seventh infantry, forwarded i to the headq uarters of the department of Col ora.lo the particulars of the trouble with the Moqui Indians. The Moqui Indians re few in number, and dwell in the mountains of Arizona, about one hun dred and fifty miles from Fort Win gate, the nearest military post. They are a peaceful and industrious tribe, but ignorant of all matters outside of their own little villages. It is even said they believe they are the only people in the world with the exception of four companies of United States cavalry that appeared on the occasion of their last outbreak. - Gov. Solomai obtained some progressive ideas from a visit to Washington with two other Moquia about ten years ago. On his return be described the immense numbers of peo ple, the railroads and gigantic build ings he had seen. The Indians, think ing he was crazy, placed him ia con Snement for some time. " Solomai" haa sever abandoned his desire for reform, and has quietly gathered about him followers that comprise about one third of the M oquis. Capt Williams, to ascertain the cause of the disturb ince, visited the villages, and fonnd that it arose from a second attempt of Solomai to adopt the customs of the palefaces. A meeting of the two fac tions was held in the 6quare of the vil '.agc, and the chiefs of the contending Factions stated their case. Gov. Solo- nai said he wanted his children to go whool and be brought tip as white :hildren are; When he and the others nod done this the hostiles had raised objections, had seized some of their cornfields, and threatened to seize others. They had even gone so far as to threaten to expel them from the town. So Solomai had asked for the :avalry to be sent. The hostiles num bered about two-thirds of the tribe, and they were led by one Lomahun- gyoma. They were op posed to progress of any kind, anu wanted to follow in the steps of their forefathers. After Solomai had finished his speech their chief rose to reply. He subs tan tially admitted the truth of Solomai 'a statement, saying that he and his fol lowers did not want to be civilized or have their children go to school, or to wear white men's clothing or to eat white men's food. They had seized the fields at Moencopce because they had belonged to them in former years and had been unlaw fully taken away. Ia the spring he intended -to take away more of the fields of the followers of Solomai. He also added that the diffi culty could be settled in no other way than by the coming of United State troops. Therefore, Capt. Williams said that he had deemed it necessary to ask for two troops of the United States cav alry to be sent there. It is believed that the trouble will be over in a few days, but it will take some time for the news to arrive, as the Indians are a sonsiderable distance from any town. Army officers say that they are the most religious people in the world1 and honorable and upright in all their dealings. They speak a language of their own, but each separate village las a dialect which they alone under j mm H3 P017DE0 Absolutely Pure Celebrated for its great leavening strength and healthfulness.

Sapartnr of New York's Uai Unknown. a for Part A deer, when started by a hunter or driven by hounds, usually returns in a few days to the same hill or mountain side where he was first found; but a moose, says Madison Grant ' in tho Century, when once thoroughly alarmed, will start on a long, swinging1 walk, and, taking with him his entires family, leave for good. It is one of tho greatest difficulties and there era many in still-hunting this animal. L avoid getting him under way, for then the hunter may as well break camp and try other fields, since not a moosa will be found within miles. Ther scent a moccasin track or the smoke of a fire at an incredible distance. A fresh trail may be found one day and arrangements made to follow itat dnv- break on the morrow. During the night the moose, returning to his old haunts, detects the danger-signs, and all the hunters find in the morning is a trail six or eight hours old leading for parts unknown in an almost perfectly, straight line. The moose is at that moment, perhaps, twenty miles off an& ' still going. Aitnougu moose cannot be driven to water by hounds like a deer, but will" turn savagely to bay, still they wilf not remain in a locality where doers are " running; so that when the white hunt ers became numerous in the Norths woods, and especially when thev intro duced hounding; the moose simply left the country and passed either cast ward to Maine or northward to Canada. It is a well-authenticated but little- known fact that they practically left in one season. They were numerous in the Adirondacks, especially in -Brown's tract a large district In what is now the southwestern part of tho wilderness until the period between 1850 and 1855 (probably near the latter year), when they suddenly disap peared. Before this several had been killed yearly. Scattered . ones were -shot latert but 1855 marked their exit ' from the annals of New York game. ! Years later, four or five were brought back to Saranac, but would not stay. Ths Uovss Consul. The most honorable .office in the Co- ' man republic was that of consul. There were always two elected every year, one each from the patricians and. plebeians. The consul must be at least forty-three years old and must have held the office of quaestor, aedllo praetor. The consuls were the heads . of the republic, discharging all public functions, such as receiving ambassa dors or assembling the senate. Their insignia were those of a king except a crown. They were always attended. ' each by twelve lictors or servants,, bearing the boxes or bundles of rods with an ax in the center. The lie- tors, however, proceeded only one at a time, the lictors of the other following him. The year was named after them. and any laws passed at their recom mendation also went by their names. They commanded the armies of the re- . public, ond when both were with the ' same army they commanded on alter-' nate days. Under the emperors the of- jQce became an empty honor, though surrounded with much greater state. Up to late Btrvlce. A great many Pacific coast people when contemplating a trip east and. when brlofing friends west, know very little about the interior lines, and the object of tbis article is to afford re liable information. In the first place for good time and service select a route via St. Paul and Minneapolis, because the lines that way are continuous under one system. without any change of cars, and every man from peanut agent up, is a cour teous, reliable and experienced officer, ready to aid and brotet you In every emergency and capable of making you feel at home and comfortable during the long journey. Then see that your ticket reads via the Wisconsin Cen- ral liner, because that thoroughfare fiords strictly first-class service, and the meals on its dining cais (always reasonable in price) are equalled by few and excelled by none.
