One of the main contentions by which the rail roads which gave and the corpora tion, which received rebate', hoped to t'scupe punlhhmtiit waa sw.pt away today by a decision of the LnlU-d states supreme court.

The case upon which the decision was rendered was instituted In the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, which court fined the Great Northern railroad $1,000 each for 15 violations of the first aection of the tlklna law. The alleged offenses against the law were committed during the sum iner ol 1DU5. and constated in grant ing concessions to the W. 1". D veuraux Company on Its shipments f outs and corn from Minnesota to point. In Washington. The com pany admitted the concession, and fought the prosecution on the ground that by amending the Klkins act so as to provide for punishment by Im prlsonment rather than by fines the Hepburn law had so modified the or iginal law as to accomplish Its re peal and render punishment under It impracticable. Today's decision was announced by Justice White and af firmed the finding of the District Court end the L'ulted States Circuit Court of Appeals.

Advice. from Honolulu of F'ebruary 19 say plans are already beginning to be aid for the victualling and enter tainment of Hear Admiral Evans' fleet, should It conlte to Honolulu. The addition of the 20.000 men whom the fleet may be expected to bring to the population of Honolulu will quickly exhaust the normal sup plies of fresh vegetables and Island fruits grown here unless hirge addi tions are made to the area cultivated. Although there has been no offi cial announcement that the fleet Is coming here, there Is a feeling of certainty that It will. There is now here and on the way to arrive with in a few weeks fully fiO.000 tons of coal belonging to the navy. This coal has all been brought here since the announcement was made of the sending of the fleet to Pacific waters. For the ordinary purpose. of the navy at this nort. 4.000 or 5.000 tons a year Is nil that is need ed. Hence the provision of 60,000 tons here now Is looked on as nrac tlcally conclusive that the fleet Is coming. Big Copper Find In Montana. Helena. Mont.. Feb. 26.

Explosion Averted by In.tant Obedi ence to Hurried Signal. San Francisco, Feb. 25. An act of heroism performed by three blue jackets on the L'nited State, cruiser Maryland during the recent target practice held at .Maguaiena Hay, was all that prevented a repetition of the Georgia disaster oft the Massachu setts coast last year, when Lieuten ant Goodrich, the son of Admiral Goodrich, and 13 of his shipmates, met death in the explosion of one of the big guns. It happened while the Maryland was having her try at the navy rec ord. After the second or third shot from No. 4, one of the Maryland's eight-Inch guns, J. J. Donnelly, a seaman, acting as first loader, dis covered mat two nana or rire were spinning around within the screw- box. This fire should have gone out of the muzzle of the gun but It had failed to do so. Without the loss of a moment, Donnelly hastily signalled J. C. King, ine noisring man, to lower the am munition car Into the handling-room, and King, with the assistance of J. Green, the rammer man, compiled with the former's request upon the instant. Twenty-five seconds elapsed before the fire in the screw-box was put out, but In that brief time a great disaster was averted Fulton Denies f very Accusation Made by Heney. Portland, Feb. 24. Iu a long state ment liven to the newper of Port laud lor publication, Charle. W. Ful ton, senior United State, senator from Oregon, answers in detail the charges made sgaiimt hliu by Francis J. Henry,' special proeecutor lor the government in the land fraud cases, in a speech de livered in the First Congregation. I church in this city on the night ol Jan uary 28 ol the present year. At that time Mr. Heney made the direct charge that Senator Fulton', long participation in cr ooked political and business deal, in Oregon, notably iu timber land frauds, had unfitted him to occupy the high otlice he now holds and announced a determination to oppose to the utmost the senator', candidacy lor re-election. Mr. Heney further charg ed thai Senator Fult n is the tool of the railroad in'erests at Washington and represents, not the people of hi. tate, but ths law-defying corporations in congress. The specific charges made in the Heney speech are taken up one by one in Senator's Fulton', answering state ment and denied comprehensively ami in detail as to evety material fact. Senator Fulton doe. not mince matter, in laying before the people of hi. state his defense. He strikes squarely from the shoulder and chorees in the plainest terms that I ii accio-er delilierately fal sified in his Congregational church speech, which Senator Fulton point, out to have been the climax ol a cam paign of malii ious peisecution and vil li dea tion Leguu more than two year, ago. Senator Fulton Impugns the honesty of Mr. Henry's motl.es. Kevenge and partisan politics, he says, are the basis of tl e graft proesecn tor's enmity to ward him, and Mr. Heney'. olieessioo by an irrepressible ambition to stand in the limelight is given as an added incentive for what Senator Fulton call. the lawyer', utter di.regaid for the truth.
