WAsHIs oToN CITY. Feb. 4-Advocates
OF the repeal of the Sherman bullion pur-
chase bill in the house continue to cir
cuiate petitions in favor of further
amendment to the rule for consideration
OF the bill. All the Democrats from New
York, except Cummings, have signed.
de wanted more time to think over the
matter. The number of signatures OBJ
tanned thus far falls considerably short of
majority of the Democrats in the house,
and apprehension is felt that it will be
impossible to obtain the desired majority.
A number of signatures can be obtained if
assurance is given that some compromise
measure shall be substituted for the pres
ent law. Those members who are of this
mind say that it is asking too much of
them to repeal the present law and leave
no other act for furnishing continued
addition to the circulating medium in its
place. The missionary work among the
Republican members of the house has
begun. n'anchor has been cast to wind
ward by the Democrats in favor of repeal,
and efforts are making to get most of the
Republicans IN line on an agreement to
support the Democrats in voting down
the previous question on the order re-
ported by the rules committee. and then
voting in favor Of cloture in case it is
found that the same result cannot be
reached by securing the signatures of
majority Of the Democrats to the petit
tions in circulation. 1t is believed that if
the Republicans will give cordial and
fairly united support. they, with the re-
peal Democrats, will constitute majority
of the house.

How His Time 1T stocktoI Was Marked
Up to Give the Staili1n Value.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 4--Tce Erening Bee
today publishes an article from what is
deemed reliable source, SLOWING that the
stallion Stamboul never tl.otted a mile in
2:O7}s on the kite-shaped crack at Stock
ton. and, in fact. did not GOA second faster
than 2:16 on December 20. I'm less than a
month after the allegee record was
smashed at Stockton StanlbouI was sold
in New York to d. H. Hamrnan for SAL 900.
1t appears there was bold conspiracy to
faisify the record in orde. to get fabu-
lous price tor the horse. JOHN s. Keerney,
who was one of the judges at Stockton
when Stamboul trotted. saw that he never
signed the judges book. an. positively de-
MES that he ever authorizes, ]. NJ. Larue,
secretary of the associations to do so. He
says that there were no books there and
he never saw any. and thss he Is as GER
tain as he can be Of anythi1g that SIAM
boul did not make the tine in less than
2:16. for he could not have done so in the
condition the track was n, for Il was
muddy and heavy.
Grant Campbell has mace an affidavit
that he was present and Eept time cor
reotly and that it was 2:16 a1ld fraction.
James Thompson, one of thu associations
timers, hearing that the affidavit was made
and was to be sent to the Nstional Associ-
alton to prevent registration of 2:O7X
record, did everything he co.,ld to get the
affidavit so as to keep it fr1m being sent
on. kearney says that Thompson offered
him $40 to smother it, ane tried to hire
him to work for Convey, asother of the
timers. In fact. KearneE says that
Thompson tried in many ways to bride
him to keep the affidavit slant. Thomp-
son told him it would ruin-him (Thomp-

The New Spokane Freight Tariff.

ST. PAUL, Feb. At is stated that as
result Of the transcontinenta, conference,
the new rate sheets will show q reduction
in ST. Paul-Spokane rates Off to 10 per
cent. on old tariffs. The sresent rate
sheet is made up of ten subdivisions, five
of which are classes and five commodity
rates. The supposition is th1t the 10 per
cent. reduction will apply to- classes and
the per cent. to COMMODITIES. Under
the old arrangements the same rates ap-
piled to Spokane as to Portlanl, the whole
territory west of the former city being
covered by blanket rates. Strenuous op-
position was made to this discrimination
by Spokane people. with the. result that
the interstate commerce corr mission de-
cided that the railroads shoah concede
them IS per cent on THROUGH rates. 1t
has not been found practlcasle to grant
this full concession, but it is understood
that on the bulk of the trasic Spokane
will receive reductione of frosa to 10 per
cent, while the old tariffs wsl remain in
effect as to Portland. This arrangement
is subject to exceptions beir-g made in
favor of through traffic coming into COM
