THE TRUST INVESTIGATION.

NEW YORK. Feb. 25-The trust investi-
cation was resumed today. Mr. Elihu
Root announced that the Standard Oil
company people could not possibly attend
today's session, unless, indeed, they could
appear during the afternoon. Later Mr..
Rockefeller came in, but was excused I'M
til Monday.
J. o. Preble, a trustee of the envelope
trust, known as the Standard Envelope
company, said that nine companies form a
part of the concern. Each firm pays
twenty cents to the Standard company for
every 1000 envelopes sold. The market
price per 1000 is s1.O5 The COM
pany now controls nearly one
half of the envelopes made in this
country. They have made as many as
140,000,0O0 month, which increases the
treasury account by about SOS. 900 per
month. OF this sum about half goes
towards bringing other concerns and other
expenses. The other half is equally di-
vided or rather returned to the different
firms.
Franklin Woodruff, of the Empire Stor-
age company, shows that a storage trust
has been established by which it was in

business in Brooklyn. There are nine
companies in this combination. None of

DENVER, Feb. 25 About 10 o'clock this
morning near Cotton, Neb, trains No. 4
and is on the main line of the Union
Pacific railway, collided with terrible
force, the engines telescoping each other,
and the cars pilling up on top of the
wreck, which Immediately took fire, burn
ing large number of cars including the
baggage, express, two Pullman and one
emigrant sleeper, on No. 4. The heat
from the fire was SO intense that all the
telegraph wires running along the side of
the track were melted and for a time
all communication was shut off,
Just how the passengers escaped
was a mystery to them as they
watched the burning mass which thirty
minutes before were two heavily loaded
moving trains. However, they ali escaped
with but slight bruises, excepting En-
gineer Powell. who was instantly killed
while trying to check the speed of his en-
CINE in order to save the lives of his pas
SengerS. The passengers who were not in
lured assisted those who were caught in
the wreck to escape, and soon had them
all out and at the hotel, where all were re-
ported doing well, none being seriously in
Jured. The company soon had wrecking
trains on the ground and the track was
cleared by s o'clock this morning. Just
who is responsible for the collision is not

THE EUROPEAN COMEDY.
The Bismarck-Kalnoky Combination Sure
to Make Russia Fight,

copyrighted lsSs, by New York Associated Press
BERLIN, Feb. 25.-The skill of the play
ers III the game of diplomacy now pro-
ceeding before the eyes of Europe, makes
its successive Developments in the highest
degree interesting; but everybody recog-
nizes the fact that its ultimate issue is
war, whatever temporary advantages dip
lomatic trickery may achieve. The Bis
marck-kalnoky combination may soon
entrap Russia into false position from
which she cannot rescue herself unless
she prefers war with incomplete prepara-
lions, or the cars advisers NAV manage
TO postpone the final crisis until they deem
that a fitting moment TO strike has come
In playing this waiting game. Russia
has scored the first success Prince Bis
marck's formal invitation to the car to
demand the restitution of Russian pre-
ponderance in Bulgaria, concealed beneath
lite apparent frankness pitfall for Russian
diplomats. If the car had interpreted the
invitation to mean that Russia was free to
restore her status to Bulgaria by force. a
Crisis would have been precipitated and
Russia would have been drawn into the
lighting allies trap. This has been a void,
and protracted comedy of negotiations
will now precede the comedy of war,
about collective notes, differences
amongst the powers. concert of the
powers for the deposition of
Prince Ferdinand, concessions by Russia,
adhesion by Austria and so forth, but
amid them all the situation will remain
unchanged. The porte may condescend to
the mockery of denouncing Ferdinand if
the powers decide to declare that the order
of things in Bulgaria is not quite in ac-
cordance with the Berlin treaty, but the
result will be nil. Prince Ferdinand will
not succumb till he is ousted by force. The
central powers will accept no Russian can
didate nor any settlement the car can pro-
pose. Meanwhile Russia has taken.advan-
tage OF the delay to complete the negotia-
tions for French alliance to extend the
mobilization of her forces. which is now
practically progressing and to set troops
in line OF battle with her immense re-
sources reorganized since the discovery of

AYOUNG SCOUNDREI,

OscEoLA MILLS, Pa, Feb. 25.-R. A
Kinsloe, editor of the Wage Farmers Jour
nal, issued little sheet yesterday instead
of the regular issue of the Journal, giving
an account of the abduction of Gertie, the
15-year old daughter of r. l. Walker, a
citizen of Osceola Mills, by his son, w. A
Kinsloe. IS years old The girl was
seized while on her way home about S
o'clock in the evening, bound with
cords and hid in the office of the
Wage Farmers journal. The entire vii,
lage devoted the night to searching for the
girl, who finally released herself and
reached home at dawn. The search was
then continued for her abductor, who was
found to be kinSloe's son. To protect him
from the excited populace he was placed in
Jail. Trashy literature and drink caused
him to commit the deed. He harmed the
girl in no way, his object being to secure a
reward for returning her. Editor kinsloe
offers the Wage Farmers Journal for sale
on account of his sons escapade.

WHAT THE RATE WAR is COSTING.
Over Four Million Dollars Lost Already
and Loss of Ten Expected.

MINNEAPOLIs, Feb. 25.-The Northwest,
ern Railroader. carrying on its calculations
Of the cost of the rate war to the railroad
companies, shows today that the loss over
the whole territory affected has not been
less than a, 100000. Shipments and re-
ceipts of freight have more than doubled
during the past week, as compared with
the two preceding weeks, and the loss
under the present rates to the roads has
been, on the st. Paul e. Minneapolis bus
mess alone, $4,000 in seven days
Since the war commenced it has
been $150,000. The Northwestern Rail
roader sums up the situation as follows:
The position now is by no means encourag-
ing. The managers at their third effort
may have better luck than has attended
their first two We wish there were more
substantial grounds for hoping so. With
the loss of 81 SOC, 900 already incurred, and
a certainty of two weeks more of fighting,
tie companies cannot now get out of the
war that they entered so blithly, without
having forfeited at least $4,000, 900
Nothing can prevent that. If restora-
ton is not effected at the coming meeting,
the total sacrifice may amount, before the
fighting is over, to double or treble that
amount. =

A FRENCH STEAMER SUNK.

New ORLEANS, Feb 25.-The French
steamship Isle de Martha sank here yester
day, carrying down with her the Vallette
dock and entailjng loss of 100000.
The Isle de Martha sailed from Havre
with 4, 400 bales oc cotton January Is. She
sprung leak when three days out, re-
turned to this port, unloaded her
cargo and went inlo the Vallette
dock to be inspected and overhauled.
When being raised she suddenly crashed
through the side of the dock and carried
it down with her. The tugs made desper-
ate efforts to keep the ship free from the
dock, but they were in vain, and the two
sank in seventy-five feet of water The
dock, which was the finest in the city, was
valued at 100000, and was owned by a
stock company. 1t is total loss, as there
was not dollar of insurance on it. The
ship was owned by A. Ray, of Havre,
France, and was valued at 100000. 1t
was fully insured in foreign companies.

HOUSE.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-On motion of
Mr.. Lanahan, of Texas the bill was passed
providing an additional mode of taking
dispositions of witnesses in cases pending
in United States courts. 1t provides that
it shall be lawful to take dispositions
in the mode prescribed by the law of state.
In the consideration in the morning hour
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, under instruc-
ton from the committee on territories,
called up the bill for organizing the terri
tory of Oklahoma and was considered in a
committee of the whole.
The hour was consumed by Mr.. Mansur,
of Missouri, in a speech in favor of the
measure, in which he sketched the matter
in which No-Man's-Land had come into it's
present anomalous condition He quoted
from treaty propositions to show that the
government had rights and equities to the
land as strong as those which belonged to
the Indians. Parties asking equity must
do equity, and though he would not rob
the Indian of his rights, sentimentality
would not change the great law of human
nature, that the weaker must succumb to
the strong. The government should do
justice to the actual settler, and bring into
existence a new and prosperous common
wealth.
The committee then rose, and the floor
was accorded in committee of the whole,
to the committee on public buildings and
grounds. The first bill called was one ap-
$4,000 additional. for the
public building at Chattanooga, Tenn.
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, spoke in opposi-
ton, He offered an amendment providing
that no public buildings shall hereafter be
constructed unless some one of the eXecu-
tive department shall first certify to
congress that no suitable accommodations
for the service of the government can
be obtained in the city or town
specified at less rental than 5000 year.
The amendment was ruled out of order
and the bill was agreed to-.
The next bill was the senate bill appro-
priating 81, 100000 for a building at Omaha,
Nebraska, with a proposed substitute APP
100000 for the purchase of
ute, but making no appropriation for the
building.
Mr.. Bland, by offering numerous amend
ments prevented vote being taken and
5he committee, having risen, the house,
without action on the bills reported it, and

the farmers of Edwards county five cal
loads of fax seed to SOW. This bids fair tt
be the leading crop of the upper valley a:
the seeds always bring a good price, anc
the paper works here can. consume all the
straw.
A committee has also been appointed
here to look after the Wichita extension Of
the Missouri Pacific railroad from Andale
to Iuka, and on to Kinsley. 1t is also tc
Wichita's interest to push this road on tC
klnsley at once, before some other road
occupies the territory.
Ourpacking house people since seeing
your article that the Dold's were going to
build nine story packing house, have
about decided TO add four more stories to
their plant here. making ten stories high
as they propose to have the largest plant in
western Kansas.
Everything looks bright along the whole
valley for the farmers, as the ground is III
splendid condition.
The returns are getting in from Cali
fornia. An extra passenger train stopped
here last night from there, and only one
passenger could, or did, take supper. The
California boom is busted,
