A Shake-Up in Military Com

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Representa-
tive Culberson, from the committee on
the judiciary, to-day reported to the
house the senate antitrust bill. After
noting the objects sought to be accom-
plished by the bill, the report accom-
panying it says it will be observed that
the provisions of the bill are carefully
confined to such subjects of legislation
as are clearly within the legislative
authority of congress. No attempt is
made to increase the legislative author
ity OF the several states, or even to Oc
cupy doubtful ground. No system of
laws can be devised by congress alone
which would etfectually protect
the people of the United States
against the evils and oppres-
sion of trusts and monOpo-
lies. Congress has no authority to deal
generally with the subject within the
states, and the states Eave no authority
to legiSlate in respect OF commerce be-
tween the several states, or with foreign
nations. 1t follows, therefore, says the
report. that the legislative authority of
congress and OF the several states must
be eXerted to secure the suppression of
restraints upon tIade, and of monOpo-
lies. Whatever legislation congress
may enact Old this subject within the
limits of its authority will prove Of lit
tie value, unless the states shall supple
ment 1t by such auxiliary and proper
legislation as may be in their legislative
authority. While this measure, says
the report, is not precisely what any
member of the committee would have
proposed upon his own motion, yet
there was a general acquiescence in the
recommendation of it's passage, as per-
haps the only legislation possible under
existing circumstances before congress.

TO CLEAR UP THE MYSTERY,
Manipulationso of New York Banks
to.Be Made Public.

New YORK, April 25.-Everybody in
terested in the recent bank wrecking
matters seemed to be on the qui vive to-
night, and important developments
were limited at on every side. Reports
that ex-Gov. Cornell and Conrad N. Jor-
dan were to make long statements clear
attached to the PECULIAR manipula-
tions of the Sixth National. Equitable
and LenoX Hill banks, caused a great
agitation among the smaller fry con-
nected with the affair. Some of the
latter declared that they hoped all the
facts would come out, while others ex-
pressed the belief that the less said
about the matter the better. Mr.. Clas-
sen, whose trial for plotting to wreck
the Sixth National begins soon, de-
clared that he was victim, and that a
full statement was just what would
clear him of all suspicion. Bank Ex-
aminer Hepburn seemed nervous, and
denied certain rumorS that have been
circulating to the effect that his action
in closing the Sixth National was pre-
mature and his subsequent movements
were open to criticism. Sigmund Meyer
said that he was thinking of causing
Sombody to be arrested for alleging
that he was connected with the wreck
ers. EX-Gov. Cornell was seen at his
residence, but refused to reveal the
nature of the statement, which he ad-
mitted as disparaging. One OF the new
developments In the case is said to be
the discovery, while cleaning out the
vacated rooms of the Equitable bank, of
some ballots that had evidently been
used in the election of officers at the
time that bank was captured by the
WreckerS. The ballots, it is said, con-

NORTHERN PACIFIC JUNCTION, MIMI,
Aprii 25--The most disastrous ire IN the
history of Northern Pacific Junction
broke out at l 40 to-day in Paine u Co.'S
immense lumber yard but is now under
control after having destroyed several
small buildings of the mill plant. two
dwellings and 100000 feet OF lumoer;
1t is the fifth fire i'll history or the mill anu
for that reason the insurance companies
did not have heavy risks on the place.
The total insurance is S2O,0OO III various
companies, While the loss Is somewhere
between $50. 600 and 100000. The mill
hands fought the fire with all means at
their command, and had finally to ap--
neal TO Duluth for assistance. ASpeclal
train was placed at the disposal OF the
fire department by the Northern Paclilc,
and steam engine and hose cart were
quickly loaded and start made. IN
run TO the junction. twenty-tlght miles
was made with n. P. Engine No. o. in
thirty minutes, including four stops and
two bridge slow-ups. Part OF the time
the speed attained approached mile
and a quarter per minute. The heat OF
the fire was oppressive, several
workers being overcome. The women
of the place made coffee ana
passed it and eatabes around among
the workers. Several locomotives were
playing on the fire, also a steam fire
engine, hand and mill engines, but the
strong wind carried the flames over the
entire yard until about 40 piles OF lum-
Der were destroyed. Men enveloped IN
blankets fought the flames, upon which
water was continually thrown, but they
had to yield, and it was by, super
human exertions that the mill proper
was saved. At 6:2S the fire was still
burning fierceIy, although under con,
troll, and no further damage is expected
unless a change of wind occurs.

REsCUING THE PERIsHING.
People From the Flooded District
Landed on Dry Ground.

BATON ROUGE, La, April 25.-The
steamer Dacotah, Capt. Mitchell in COM
mand. has reached here from the
overflowed district and put off 500 or
600 people and a large quantity of stock.
The people put off were negroes, who
found no difficulty in getting employ
ment. Several planters from the inte-
rior were here for the purpose of get
ting labor for their plantations. The
Dacotah yesterday went up as far as
New Texas Landing, reScuing people
and stock along the route. The
boat transported about 1,500 peo-
pie to this side and could
have brought many more. but the peo-
pie said the river was falling and they
preferred to stay and take the chances
in Pointe Coupee. Capt. Mitchell said
the break in old MOrgansea at o'clock
yesterday evening was 600 feet wide,
while the break in Grand levee, just
below, was 1000 feet wide and washing
rapidly, the soil being of sandy nature.
AS these levees are three miles in
length, only comparatively small por-
ton of these great works have vet been
destroyed. The boat rescued every
living thing, from pig to the dogs and

New YORK, April 25.--In the inquiry
to-day before the senate committee on
emigration, Coroner Levy. president
of the Jewish Emigrant Protection So
ciety, stated that majority of the jew
iSh emigrantS came here from Russia
and Poland, and minority from Ger
many. but all Jewish emigIants COM
pare favorably with those from other
countries. The president Of the society
came in contact with Polish and Rus
sian Jews principally. Between $4,000
and $4,000 of these classes came over in
the past year. 1nasmuch as they were
prosecuted in Europe on account of
their religious belief, his society en-
deavors to welcome and assist
age emigrants to come here. Fifty
per cent of all the Jewish emigrants
who came here last year will be natu-
rallied citizens in ten years. Most all
came to make a home here. They go
into factories and into the tailoring
business, and are sober and industrious.
There are in the United States between
1,250,000 and 10000 Hebrews. He ad-
mitted that in the Hebrew tenement
quarters there is good deal Of squalor,
but not as much misery as they suffered
abroad. DR.. John B. Hamilton, under
surgeon of the Marine hospital service,
said he examined the arrangements of
Wards Island hospital and found them
excellent. David Blakely, manager of
Strauss orchestra and Gilmore's band,
said that Strauss orchestra is now in
Vienna, but will leave May for this
country. There are sixty members and
| are all under contract to come. He
considered the members artists, which
he defined as skilled musicians.

A Proposed Conference That Will

CHICAGO. April 25.-This afternoon

penters, the new boss carpenters asso-
ciation and the citizens arbitration
committee sent note to President Col
die, of the Builders and Traders eX-
change, asking him to appoint time
for meeting with view to settle
ment of the pending strike. Mr.. Goldie
replied that he, together with the dl-

exchange, would meet and confer with
the citizens committee at noon
tomorrow, with the new boss
carpenters committee at 2 p.
M, and with the carpenters
committee at 3 p. m. in the builders eX-
change. 1t remains to be seen whether
the joint committee will consent 10 be
thus split up into its constituent ele-
ments. Not much is hoped for from the
conference should it take place, mas
much as President Goldie says that the
carpenters union will under no circ1m-
stances be recognized, while the strikers
declare they will never return to work
until such recognition is granted. The
best that they expect from the confer
ence is to put the old bosses on record,
and when that is done they will prob
ably make terms with the new bosses
ASSOCIATION, which claims to have an
employing capacity Of 1850 men. The
strikers say that in addition to these,
the owners of buildings in course
of erection are ready when notified
to do SO to take the contracts
from the old bosses and turn them
over to the carpenters for completion,
and in this way work will be furnished
for 1,500 additional men. They say that
allowing that the new bosses can per-
manently employ 5000 men, this
would leave them with only 1,50O men
idle, whom they could easily support
indefinitely. President Rowland, OF the

of America. estimates that unless their
demand for eight hours is conceded. at
least 100000 carpenters will be found ON

Rearrangement of Military Com

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 25.-It
was generally expected that the death
of Maj. Gen. Crook would result in
change in the military division COM
mands, but Secretary Proctor said to-
day that no changes of that character
will be made for at leastt months.
and. that the promotion of Gen. Miles
from brigadier general to major gen.
eral does not necessltate any change in
his present cOmmand-the division of
the Pacific. Gen. Schofeld will
therefore continue in temporary
command of the division of the
Missouri, with headquarters at WASH
ington, and Gen. Howard in command
of the division of the Atlantic with
headquarters at New York. 1t is under
stood that the date of the retirement Of
Brig. Gen. Grierson-July 8-has been
fixed by the department. fora rearrange-
ment Of the principal military COM
mands, and that the present plan con-
templates the transfer of Gen. Howard
to Chicago and Gen. Miles to New York,
giving either Gen. Stanley, Gen. Glib
bon, Gen. Ruger, Gen. Merritt or Gen.
Brooke command of the division of the
Pacific. This plan would relieve Gen.
Sehofield of his present extra duty as a
division commander and allow him to
devote his entire time to his regular
duties as general commander of the
army, as was the case before the death
of Gen. Crook.
