result was an adjournment for lack of a
quotum alter inemhnrs had been locked
in the hall for half an hour and the
serireant-atarms had been scurrying to
the various hotels in search of mem
bers. The vote to consider the bill
ehnwed an overwhelming sentiment in
its favor, and, as it is the landing busi
ness uiidur call of committee, it will
probably be reached and passed in due
course.
Wednesday, March 7.
Washington, March 7. President
Roosevelt today sent a menage to con
press announcing his signature to the
joint resolution recently passed in
structing the Interstate Commerce
commission to make examination into
the subject of railroad discriminations
and monopolies in coal and oil. He

hesitation, because it may achieve lit
tle or nothing.
Washington, Match 7. With six set
speeches and permission to print two
others in the lit cord, none of w hich
weio on the same subject, the house

pending railroad rain hill were squarely
presented to thn senate today in the
speech of Clapp, one of the Kepuhli
cans supporting the measure without
amendment, and hy resultant remarks
from Pailey and Tillman, who are sup
posed to represent the views of the
Democrats.
Aldrich, Foraker, Crane and other
Republicans, who are seeking to anient!
the hill so as to provide for judicial
review of ortlers of the Interstate Com
merca commission, took the position
that the discussion of the situation

measure are divided and that the hill
should not be accepted in its present
foim.

DOOMED TO DIE.
Orthnrd Knew TOo Many Secrets oi
Inner Circle.
Itoisn, Idaho, March 'I. A HaH in st
ing those whose hands were against the
Western Federation of Miners, and
those who refused to join the associa
lion, are not the only crimes for which
the members of the Inner Circle will l
called upon to answer. Not only were
non-union miners murdered outright
bombs placed for state officials, but tl
poor tools who committed the revolting
crimes for the Inner Circle were them
selves victims of this committee of
death.
Harry Orchard was among the tool
of the Inner Circle marked for de
strut-lion. Hail he managed to have
escaped arrest after having assassinated
ex-Uovernor Hteunenhnrg, he would not
have lived long to enjoy the $3,800 he
was to have received for doing the job
The confession of Steve Adams, it is
said, shows that the uiemtxjrs of the
Inner Ciicle were suspicious of Or
chard and that he hail been shadowed
for a long time hefore he went to Cald
well for the purpose of 'placing the
hornh which killed ex-(iovernor Steu
nenberg. Sentence hat! len passed
upon him, ant! it is said that whether
he siicceeth-i), as he did, or failed, he
would have been added to the list of
tools that have been put out of the
way.
('rimes within crimes was the system
which the Inner Circle carried out
When tin pes of the Inner Circle had
performed so many deeds for the Inner
Circle that they knew too much they
were quietly gotten out of the way, and
it ia believed that the confessions of
Orchard ant! Adams will prove this.
The news that Adams hail added his
confession to that of Orchard has been
conveyed to Moyer, Haywood, Petti
lone and St. John. They were told by
their attorneys, but it is impossible to
learn how the prisoners took the news
It was learned, however, that all four
of the prisoners, since they heard of
Attains' confession, have displayed
onsitlerahle concern, and for the first
time since their arrest have lost much
of their assurance.
Of all the men under arrest, it is
hinted that Pettihone ia the worst. He,
so the story goes, was the chief con
spirator, the man who planned the
assassinations and paid out the money
Certain testimony given before the
trrand jury went to show that Haywood,
who received f 5 a day as secretary, had
for some time prior to his arrest been
spending money around Denver at the
rate of $25 a day. This money is be
lieved to have been a part of the
assassination fund.
VISIT TO THE KAISER.
President Roosevelt Could Go to
Kiel
on American Warship.
Berlin, March 6. Professor Albrecht
Wirth, of Munich, today contributes i
signet! article to Der Tag on the poesi
bility of President Hoosevelt and Em
peror William exchanging visits. Pro
fessor Wirth has connections with the
foreign office, and his suggestions there
fore have a certain interest.
'"Congressman Nicholas Ixngworth
and Mrs. I-ongworth are expected in
Berlin in May," he says. "This is not
the first time that the president's
laughter has represented the United
States diplomatically. Her journey to
Fast Asia hat! official character, which
was expressed by her accompanying a
member of the cabinet.
'President Roosevelt himself is not
permitted to leave American territory,
but as an American warship is Ameri
can territory, ami as President Roose
velt has already proved ir. practice,
why cannot the president give another
example by visiting Kiel? Emperor
W illiam could then choose a return
visit in the same form, going on a war
ship to waters near Washington. Thee
visits would add much to the mutual
friendship of the two countries."
Trade With United States.

United States were $5(1,801,250, a gain
of more than $13.00,000 over the corre-
ponding period of tho previous fiscal

Village Falls Into Lake.
Rome, March t$. The village of Ta
vernola, built on the perpendicular cliffs
above Lake Isco, in the province of
Bread, waa almost entirely deetioyed
this morning by the rocks suddenly
giving way, apparently because the lake
had eaten into the bnse of the cliff.
The disaster was preceded by a loud
roaring noise which enabled the 1,000
inhabitants to escupe. One fisherman
was killed. About 200 feet of rock and
the houses on it were swallowed up.

UP TO THE HOUSE
Senate VotcsJWoncy lor Preserva
tion of Columbia Jetty.
5400,000 WITHOUT OPPOSITION
Struggle Will Come In House to Avoid
Loading of Bill With Other Pro
jects, Which Would Kill II.
Washington, March 10. Senator
Fulton's hill appropriating $400,000
for the Colombia river jetty went
through the seriate yesterday without
the slightest objection. Soon after the
seriate convened Mr. Fulton asked for
consideration of the bill. It was read
ami passed without a word of opposi
tion. When the house rivers and harlxjrs
committee returns from the Siuth Mr.
Fulton's bill will be laid before it, and
it will then he decided whether to press
this hill individually or wait and sap
port his amendment to the sundry civil
hill. If it shall become apparent that
there is no possibility of passing the
individual bill through the house, then
every effort will be centered on indue
ing the house to retain the amendment
to the sundry civil bill.
There is danger, heretofore pointed
out hy Chairman Burton, that any in
dividual bill making an appropriation
for the Columbia river is apt to be
added to by various members until it
becomes a general river and harbor
bill, but it is possible that some way
may be devised of preventing this. If
so, Mr. Burton will have the senate
bill reported to the house, for he is
earnestly supporting Mr. F'ulton in this
matter and will do everything possible
to get the appropriation through.

Washington, March 10. The Post
today says:
President Roosevelt has decided to
appoint William H. Tatt, of Ohio, now
H-retary of war, to the next vacancy

voluntary retirement of Associate Jus

AN ELEVATOR TRUST
United States Attorney Starts a
Suit in California.
ONLY THREE INDEPENDENT FIRMS
People West of Rocky Mountains Are
Charged Exorbitant Prices
by Bogus Bidding.
Washington, March 8. On advices
that Federal suit wasfiledjn San Fran
cisco today against 31 elevator concerns,
including the Otis elevator company,
on the charge of violating the anti
trust law, Attorney General Moody
made the following statement tonight:
"The United States attorney for the
Northern district of California, under
instructions from the attorney general,
filed in theUnited States Circuit court
for the Ninth district a bill of com
plaint against the Otis Elevator com
pany and 27 other companies and three
individuals engagd in the elevator
business, charging them with violation
of the Sherman anti-trust law. The
companies named as defendants com
prise the principal elevator companies
of the United States, but the operations
specifically complained of have been
carried on mainly in California and the
atatea and territories west of the Rocky
mountains.
"It is charged that these'eompanies
make and sell at lesst 80 per cent of all
of the elevators used in that territory,
and that they have entered into a com
bination among themselves to control
and enhance the prices at which ele
vators are sold; that, in order to make
the combination effective, the Otis Ele
vator company has acquired the whole
or a majority interest in the businesses
of all the other defendants, although
said defendants are said to be operating
as apparently separate and independent
concerns-, that, when an inquiry is re
ceived from a customer by any of the
defendants, it is immediately referred
to the Otis Elevator company, and, if
there is no outside competition, that
company designates the concern which
is to get the business, fixes an excessive
and exorbitant price to be charged and
directs the other companies to submit
bids, apparently in good faith, but
higher than the bid of the company
which has been designated to receive
the contract: if outside competition
does appear, one of these subsidiary
companies is directed to take the con
tract at a loss, in order to freeze out
the competitors."
ine dim aiso alleges tnat there are
only three elevator companies not in
the combination carrying on business
west of the Rocky mountains.
JAPANESE ARMY INTACT.
Still Holds Manchuria, Says General
Linievitch.
Tsarskoe Selo, March 8. General
Linievitch's report regarding the future
of Russia in the Far East is pessim
istic. He says the Japanese forces in
Manchuria are intact and liable to open
hostilites at any time. They argue
that many breaches of faith on the part
of the Russians invalidate the peace
treaty and give them a right to make
additional demands.
The general says the disaffection in
the army is not serious, but the admin
istration is bad. He advises that the
Siberian railroad be turned over to a
private company, that the investigation
directed against military chiefs be
dropped, that soldiers be treated with
liberality, and that a strong garmson
be maintained in Manchuria.
The czar is said to have agreed with
the views expressed bv Linievitch. All
the defeated generals will be given lu
crative positions. In the Amur region
the Cossack land system will be intro
duced, and the land will be distributed
among the soldiers who remaine in
military service. The immigration of
Russian peasants will be assisted with
subsidies, and thus Manchuria will be
Russified.
Comparison of Rival Navies.
Paris, March 8. In the chamber of
deputies today Minister of Marine
Thomson, supporting the naval budget,
compared the French and German na
vies, saying: "Although the composi
tion of our squadrons is not perfect,
our armament is superior to Ger
many's. We have 190 heavy, 296
medium and 789 small naval guus
more than Germany. Two new battle
ships will be ready next year'and four
year after, us well as a number of
cruisers, torpedo boats and submarine
craft."
Justice Brown to Resign.
Washington, March 8. Associate
Justice Henry Billings Brown, of the
United States Supreme court, intends
to retire from the bench, and has so
notified President Roosevelt. The pres
ident desired to appoint Senator Phi
lander C. Knox, of Pennsylvania, to
the vacancy, but the latter declined.
Justice Brown was 70 years old on
March 2. He will serve through the
present term of court and will probably
retire in the fall.
