2 SAN FRANCISCO, August 30-To-day al [, the commercial conference the commit @ tee having in charge the report on tn, encouragement of maritime commerce f reported an amendment striking out al j. reference to free ships, and inserting 1T 6 it's stead clause for the establishment | of a permanent bureau of navigation
 and urging Congress to provide for the
 payment of bounty to all builders of yes 5 sells to be engaged in foreign trade 2 2 This was followed by long debate and the report as thus amended with ulti mate proposition suggesting the adop : tion of the French bounty system, was unanimously adopted. The report fav.
 bring the Pacific ocean cable was also ) adopted, and the report on coast defense [ was submitted with resolutions urging congress to put all harbors and rivers on :; the Pacific coast in a thorough condi- ' tiOn of defense and to establish an ad- , ditional navy yard on the northern , coast The report favoring the Nicara- , qua canal was adopted. The nextAub-
 Iect under consideration was the rail
 road traffic, and the committee appoint
 ed to obtain the views of Chairman
 Cooley of the inter state commerce
 commission made their report, in which
 Chairman Cooley stated the custom
 of allowing the transit of bonded cars
 into foreign territory was permitted
 by the Treasury department, but was
 not authorized by statute. He agreed
 there was an inequality in the policy
 which places the American railroads at
 disadvantage in competition with
 Canadian roads. The committee ap-
 pointed to consider the application of
 the interstate commerce law to the
 carrying trade of Canadian Pacific rail
 way or the abolition of the bonding
 system, presented the majority and
 minority reports. The majority reports deem 1t unwise at this time to urge
 congressiona al action against the Cana dian road, while the minority favors the
 abolition of the law granting to foreign
 railroads the privilidge of carrying
 domestic goods between domestic ports. Resolutions looking to the abolition of { the clause in the interstate commerce
 law relating to long and short hauls were presented. w. B. Harrington, on | behalf of the chamber of commerce., | presented series of resolutions thank | ing the visiting delegates for their at | tendance and active work, and the delegates responded with thanks for the | courteous treatment and consideration l which they had enjoyed. B. w. Jones | introduced series of resolutions call
 ing on Congress to adopt liberal policy | relative to the Pacific Coast, in the
 matter or river and harbor improve
 ments. This concluded the business of the conference, although special com mlttee on permanent organizations will meet tomorrow.
 SANTA FE, N. M, Aug. 30.-After a
 bitterly contested trial, which occupied
 three days, the case of the United
 States against A. l.. Morrison, the
 former marshal of New Mexico, and
 the sureties on his bond, ended to-day
 with verdict for the defendant. The | government claimed balance due from |
 Morrison of about twelve thousand dol |
 lars, but on the trial, by his original | vouchers he accounted for every dollar | charged against him. The proof was of | such character that the court was | forced to direct verdict for the defend | ant, saying that if a verdict for the gov ernment was returned he would be com | pelled to sit it aside.
 MARQUETTE, Mich, Aug. Redmond | Holzhay, the Gogebic stage robber, was
 captured at Republic, in this county, this | morning. The method by which the capture was effected was as clever and | neat as the bandits own exploits have been daring and astounding. There is no doubt, whatever, that Holzhay is the same man who levied tribute on a score or more of passengers on Milwaukee & Il Northern train about two months ago, and four weeks later rode up to a store m small country settlement, and at the muzzle of a revolver compelled the pro- prietor to contribute the contents of his safe and till. Later he held up train on the Wisconsin Central railroad.
 Holzhay was brought to this city to- day and incarcerated in the county jail. To an Associated Press reporter he said that he had made for the thickest woods immediately after the stage robbery. He pushed rapidly eastward and struck the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic :, road about fifty miles this side of Nesto- ria. There he boarded train and rode to Champion, the northern terminus of the Milwaukee & Northern. Republic lies ten miles south of Champion, and to that point Holzhay made bis way on foot. He applied at Republic house | for lodging and was assigned to a room. It was about 6 o'clock yesterday after noon when he arrived there. He ate his supper and an hour later was shown to his room. The landlord observed striking resemblance with the descrip- ton of the Gogebic stage robber and in formed the village marshal, who had al- so been notified by E.. E. Wiser, Justice of the Peace Wiser, who had met the man on the street. The marshal notified Deputy Sheriff John Glode, and together they went to the hotel Finding the landlord already suspicious their own suspicious were confirmed, but they decided not to dis turb the stranger in his room. They were certain he was we'll armed and | e would shoot if disturbed, it was there t fore considered best to wait till morning and the plan of capture was determined l on. Holzhay arose at 6 o'clock, ate a light breakfast and paid his bill. He 2 mad checkered quilt, rolled up, and bound with a small rope. In this i'm proved grip he carried change of cloth ng. Slinging the bundle over his shoul- Ter, he started off, intending to make Or the Wisconsin lumber camps. Off ;er Glode and Weiser were awaiting his appearance on the street. They were iressed in citizens clothing to avoid | suspicion. As Holzhay ap- o ,roaOhed them they walked toward him, q engaged in earnest converse ion, and paying no attention to the z tranger at all. When they came near hey allowed the stranger to pass be- b ween them. No sooner were they
 breast than the officers seized their al nan, one at each shoulder, and threw " Jim to the pavement. Holzhay strug- la led to reach his hip pocket, and nearly 'oliceman Whalen came up and with his tick gave the prostrate man a rap on o' he head which quieted him and he m nade no further reSistence. Handcuffs n; lere then applied, and the terror of k' Northern Wisconsin and Michigan was 10 ecure in the hands of the law. co
