DUE TO FALSE MURDER JSTORT
Baseless Rumor That Vite Man Is

' White People.
PASSAGE THROUGH STRAITS.
Big
Letbbridge, Alberta, Dec. 28. Be
cause they believed that a prominent
-citizen bad been murdered in a Chinese
testament, 1,600 men raided the Ori
ental quarter late laet night and left a
wieck behind. Restaurants and laun
dries were smashed, doors and windows
and entire fronts of buildings being re
duced to splinters. The regular police
or the town were powerless and a bri
gade of mounted police had to be called
out to quell the riot.
It was just after 9 o'clock that the
mob began to form. The story had got
abroad that Barry Smith, one of the
best known ranchera of the cattle dis
trict of Which this city is the center,
had been fatally wounded in a restau
rant. Curiously enough, neither Smith
nor any one else had been hurt, but
ven the police were misled by the tale
and . two Orientals were placed under
arrest, charged with his murder.
An indignant mob gathered oppoiete
the eating house and there was talk of
lynching. Suddenly someone threw a
xock, which smashed a front window,
and In a moment the crowd was beyond
control. Bricks and stones were used
and, when the doors had been broken,
the tables and chairs and dishes were
smashed. The Columbia and Alberta
restaurants were literally wrecked.
What could not be conveniently broken
by the few men who could get inside
-was passed out to the street to the mob
in waiting, and there demolished.
At 10 o'clock a detachment of mount
d police appeared and the crowd
scattered. Hundreds of the rioters
merely shifted the scene of their pillag
ing. Three blocks jiway, opposite the
Arlington hotel, they cleaned out an
'Other Chinese reBtaurant and badly
.handled two Orientals who were cap
tured within.
Mayor Galbraith, who had rushed to
the scene when the mounted police
were first called, delivered a speech
asking good citizens to disperse. The
crowd listened to him and to Magistrate
Towosend, who Bpoke later. All possi
ble damage having ' been done, tthe
crowd went home.
Five of the rioters have been arrest
ed, but it is doubtful if they will be
prosecuted. ' '
Captain Greene Selected to Pilot
Fleet Safely Through.
Los Angeles, Deo. 24. The man who
is to pilot the United States battleship
fleet through the Straits of Magellan is
in Los Angeles on his way to Washing
ton, from whence he will proceed to
Rio de Janeiro, there to join the fleet
on January 1.
The man selected by the Navy de
partment for this Important service is
Captain E. F. Greene, of the United
States army transport service. He is
58 years of age and has made in all 17
trips through the straits. He has been
a sailor since he was 14 years of age,
when he joined the Confederate navy.
His first crip was made in 1869 and the
last a year ago, when he , brought the
lighthouse tender Junita to the.Paclfio
coaBt. Captain Greene will assume
charge as pilot of the fleet at Punta
Arenas about February 1, according to
schedule. There will be assigned to
him by Admiral Evans one of the fleet
est of the torpedo crafts with which he
will lead the way through the straits.
The actual passage will require about
48 hours. Captain Greene anticipates
no danger in taking the squadron lately
tnrougn.

DOINGS OF THE SIXTIETH CONGRESS
BEAUTIFYING A CITY,
Gives Canada Assurance Di
vert Stream to Cores.
Tokio, - Dec. 24. Negotiations be
tween Canadian Minister of Labor Ru
dolphe Lemieux and the Japanese gov
ernment, which have been delayed by a
hitch over details, will be concluded
within the next few days It is under
stood that Minister Lemieux has fin
ally agreed to accept Japan's verbal
assurance that she will undertake the
self imposed task of limiting emigra
tion to Canada. The exact method of
limitation will be left entirely in the
hands of the Japanese government.
The assurance is identical with that
given the United States.
It is stated that the hitch arose over
the desire of the Canadian government
to secure a definite promise in writing
outlining the undertakings. This was
positively declined by Japan because it
would entail a eacrifio of treaty rights.
Minieter Lemieux also desired to secure
from the Japanese government a note
giving the exact number of laborers
that the government proposed to allow
to emigrate to Canada. This was also
refused. ,
Saturday, December 21.
Washington,, Dec. 21. The senate
today parsed a bill suspending during
the year 1907 the requirement that
miners shall do at least f 100 worth of
work annually during the period in
which their claims' are being perfected.
Cullom introduced a joint resolution
prpposing an amendment to the consti
tution limiting the terms of the presi
dent and vice president to six years and
prohibiting re-eletion for a second
term.
A number of other bills and resolu
tions were introduced. After being in
session 45 minutes, the senate today
adjourned until January 6.
A bill providing security to deposit
ors of banks and fDr the prevention of
hoarding of currency, was introduced
today by Senator Owen, of Oklahoma.
It fixes a tax upon . all deposits and
from the fund thus created provides for
the payment in full of all depositors
when a bank is declared insolvent. The
secretary of the treasury is directed to
maintain a fund of $100,000,000 in
treasury notes, which may be loaned on
bonds to 90 per cent of their value
The bill provides that advances from
it shall be charged for at the rate of 6
per cent for the first four months ' and
thereafter at the rate of 8 per cent.
Senator Burkett reintroduced his
grazing bill of last session. It provides
for the leasing of the public domain to
cattle owners for the maintenance of
their stock, giving, however, settlers
the right to enter and to locate upon
land at any time.
Washington, Dec. 21. After being
in session about 20 mlnuteB, the house
of representatives today adjourned until
January 6. The proceedings were en
livened by a brief but fierce speech by
Gaines of Tennessee, who criticised the
house for its inaction and for taking
such a long recess at a time "when we
should have gone to Wall street and
throttled the thieves and turned back
to the honest people their bard earn
ings."
Gaines was preceded by Hepburn of
Iowa, who protested against what he
said was the indiscriminate way in
which committees were given authority
to sit during the session of the house,
thereby causing members to be im
mune from srrest in case it became
necessary to secure a quorum.
Both Williams and De Armond were
upon the floor, but took no notice of
each other.
Commission Finds Denatured Alcohol
Rates Not Too High.
Washington, Dec. 24. In an opinion
rendered by Commissioner Clark for
the Interstate Commerce commission
in the case of the Railroad commission
of Oregon against the O. R. & N. and
other railroads, important action was
taken respecting shipments of denatur
ed alcohol. The complaint asks for a
reduction in the rates on denatured al
cohol to Oregon points. The record
shows that denatured alcohol is manu
factured in California and is sold in the
North Pacific cities at a price which
could be met by the Eastern product
only by reducing the transportation
charges to nothing.
An effort to plaoe denatured alcohol
on a parity with spirits would lead
either to a large increase in the charges
on the proof spirits or a practical wip
ing out of the charges on the denatured
article. Such increase in the charges
on the proof spirits, in the opinion of
the commission, probably would reader
futile all effort to compete with the
California product. The rates com
plained of were not shown to be unrea
sonable, unduly discriminatory or un
justly prejudicial. The commission
therefore dismissed the petition.
OLD DOCUMENTS FOUND.
t
Pike
Papers Taken From Lieutenant
Come to Light.
Mexico City, Dec. 26. What is con
sidered a very Important historical die
overy has resulted from the efforts of
Dr. Hoerbert E. Belton, the American
historian, who is here engaged in re
search work under the auspices of the
'Carnegie institute of Washington. The
discovery consists in the unearthing in
this city of 18 of the 21 documents tak
en from the possession of Lieutenant
Zebulon N. Pike, of the United States
army, by Spanish Soldiers in 1806,
when he was captured while making
his famous trip up the Arkansas and
Missouri rivers, visiting the Osage and
Comanche Indiane, at the instance of
General James Wilkinson, then govern
or of Louisiana.
The whereabouts of' the other three
documents cannot be learned. So im
portant is the discovery considered in
the United States that Secretary Root
lias just sent Dr. Belton his congratula
tions. Find Bodies by Hundred.
Jaobs -Creek, Fa., Deo. 28. Rapid
progress is being made in the removal
of bodies from the Darr mine. All of

expected that they will be brought to
the surface during the night. In entry
Ko. 29, where the explosion apparently
took place, numerous bodies were found
The pit cars were blown to pieces. It
is said fully 100 bodies will be removed
from entry No. 27, as yet unexplored
Turkey May Have Famine.
Boston. Dec. 28. The American
board of commissioners for foreign mis
eions has received advices from the in
terior of Turkey showing unusually se
vere famine conditions. Bread is
double its former price and other neces

districts probably will starve during the
winter unless relieved soon.
Rioting in India.
Calcutta, India, Dec. 24. In conse
quence of the sentence of three months'
imprisonment, pronounced againBt Be
pin Chandrel, the Nationalist chief, for
having refused to testify in court
against a Hindu newspaper, grave dis
orders of a Beditious nature took place
in the streets here. An immense crowd
raised a great tumult in front of the
hall of tribunals, attacking the police
and stoning the windows. A party of
Hindu students assaulted various Brit
ish officers and sergeants, blockading
the principal streets.

New York, Dec. 24. Joseph H.
Choate in an address at the annual
meeting of the Stats Charities Aid
association advocated adherence to the
old Mosaic law that one-tenth of all

be did not believe many of the rich
women and men who composed bis au
dience bad lived up to the law and that

done so there would not have been any
financial troubles like those through
which the country has just passed.

Br own ton Claimed ' Authority Over
Hospital Ships.
Washington, Deo. 27. That a eeri
oua breach exists between the bureau
of navigation and the bureau of medi
cine of the navy, involving the ques
tlon of the responsibility of the latter
bureau, was made apparent in a state'
mont issued by Surgeon General Pres
ley M. Rixey, of the navy, in which he
touches upon the circumstances lead'
lng up to the probable selection by the
president of a medical officer to com
mand the hospital ship Relief over the
protest of Rear Admiral Brownaon,
chief of the bureau of navigation, who
has sent his resignation to the presi
dent. While disclaiming exact know
ledge as to the cause of Admiral Brown
son's resignation, the surgeon general's
statement leaves little room for doubt
that the controversy he reviews was a
potent factor.
DECIDES AGAINST OREGON.

Washington, Dec. 27. Brigadier
General Charles S. Smtih, on special
duty at the proving grounds at Sandy
Hook, N. J., has been placed on the re
tired list of the army by operation of

American towns, as a rule, spring up

to the value of property to an extent
but little understood, though every pur

few well-developed shade trees on a va
cant lot, with other good specimens
along the curbs, are sure to bring along
customers willing to pay a little higher

Railroads Were Aided In Stealing Rich
Lands in the West Senator
Allison Helped.
Washington, Deo. 24. Ex-Senator
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, whose de
feat for re-election was one of the
things that most gratified the late Mark
Hanna, bas come out with a fierce de
nunciation of congress as a body, in
which he personally attacks Speaker
Cannon. He declares that Mr. Cannon
aided the railroads to steal public lands
in the West. When the charges were
brought to Mr. Cannon's attention, he
said: "When I am attacked by a man
of reputation and charactei I will de
fend myself."
Congress is owned, body and soul,
by the corporations," Is Pettlgrew's
opening shot. Continuing, he says:
I was a member of the senate for 12
years, and 1 do not hesitate to say tnat
the railroads control a majority of the
members of the senate and they own
the house.
"It was in 1898 that 1 endeavored
to have a law passed that would pre
vent the railroads from stealing the
public lands. Finally 1 seemed an
amendment to the sundry civil bill
which would have operated effectually
to prevent the railroads from entering
public lands, but Allison and Cannon
were both onto their jobs.
"The bill was reported back to the
senate about 5 o'clock in the morning
the last day of the session and it was
passed. I did not know until after
ward that Allison and Cannon had in
terpolated a phrase of a few words,
whiob virtually made nugatory the in
tents and purposes of my amendment.
This phrase was 'or any other
claimant or pantentee.' Under this
wording the railroads were enabled to
enter the choice lands of the West and
they lost no time in doing it.
It was the same way with the
Dnion Pacific railroad bills. Hunting
ton jammed through the house a bill to
have the gcvernment give up its second '
mortgage, which would have given the
read millions of dollars. He bad a
clear majority In the senate and the
bill would have passed that body had
not some senators talked it to death.
"It was the same way with the rail
road pooling bill. It passed the house
and would have gone through the sen
ate hacl it not been talked to death.
The senators opposing these bills could
have had (100,000 apiece to quit talk
ing, and would have been allowed to
vote any way they chose, because the
railroads had enough Votes to pass the
measure without us."

the opinion prevails that at mott only
