ANTISCALPING BILL.
Taken up by the Interstate Commerce
 Committees

Taken up by the Interstate Commerce Committee
 Washington. Dec. 1.-The Interstate Commerce Committee of the Senate
 upon call of Senator Cullom. met 10
 day for the purpose of taking up the
 anti-scalping bill This measure was
 given much consideration by the com
 mittee during the last session of Con
 @resS and also during the extra Ses-
 sion of last summer. It happened.
 however. that the pooling bill was be- fore the committee at the same time. and as each measure haditS supporters who claimed precedence. neither bill got out of the committee. During the last few months resolutions demanding the passage of fananti-scaIping bill have been adopted by scores of boards of trade, chambers of commerce. mer- chants associations and similar com mercial organizations throughout the country, and it has become evident thatan extraordinary strong feeling in favor of such legislation exists outside of railroad circles. Hence Senator cuI- lOm. as chairman of the committee. has determined to push the measure to the front Meanwhile the scalpers have not been idle and every move of the opposition will be vigorously resis- ted with the aid of q powerful lobby

f HAWAIIAN TREATY. Confident That It Will Be
 Ratified. SENATOR H0AR OPPOSED To Annexation of Hawaii as a State But FavOrs It as
 Territory.

San Francisco. Dec. 16--The steam
 ship DOric, which arrived from Japan
 this morning, brought the following
 Interesting news bearing upon the Jap
 an, Hawaiian controversy: His
 chances of becoming Minister of State
 having disappeared with the unsuc-
 cessful termination of negotiations be
 tween the government and the radi-
 calls, MT. HOshy left for his post at
 Washington by the City of Picking. It Is reported that as the Cabinet found that the absolute protest against the Hawaiian annexation was of no avail II concluded that it would be adviS- able to yield point and while not ob- JectinS to annexation to make an ef- fort to ensure the protection of Jap anese interests. For example. the United States will be asked to guar antee that the annexation of Hawaii will not interfere with the advantage hitherto possessed by Japan in the islands. This will constitute the scope of Japan's policy.
 Chicago. Dec, 16.--A special to the Record from Washington says: There has been a decided change the situation of the Hawaiian treaty within the last few days and the mem OerS of the committee on foreign reIa- tionS are quite confident of it's ratifi- cation. Senator HOar says he is not to the annexation of the Hawaiian islands as q Territory. pro- 7ided the rights of the natives are thoroughly protected. He is. however opposed to Hawaii as a State and will 'esist any attempt to deprive the nat ves offa fair share in the responsibil- | ties and the privileges of govern nent. He says that under no circum- | stances will he antagonize the policy | ,f the President. The action of the | democratic members of the House in | in leaving the Hawaiian ques- lon for each man to vote according to | lis own judgment, takes it fIom the | ist of political issues and makes it asier for AIr- GOrmanand Mr. Morgan O secure votes.
 Altogether the fate of the treaty has in doubt ever since the assem- ling of Congress The prospect is Ow more hopeful than it ever has cen.

An eastern exchange printed in New
 York tells the remarkable story of q
 negro near Pittsburg being struck by
 two trains of cars and receiving no
 worse injury than a broken arm. The two trains were going in opposite di- rectiOns on parallel tracks between which he was walking. As he found himself about to be passed by the trains at nearly the same time he stampeded and attempted to spring across the track in front of one which bounced him off the cowcatcher into the air in front of the other train which caught him on the front end of the engine and threw him between the trains. He came out with lots of cuts and bruises and a broken arm. When two loco motives can't knock out one coIored man it is time to fix a dynamite tor pedo on the snout of the cowcatcher.

 Bahrs had no personal jurisdiction over the case as 1t wss never legally assigned to him. It was further contended that Judge Bshrs WAS pr judiced against Dusrsnt.

MT. c. J. Hall. cashier of the PhOe- nix National Bank is the man select ed by Judge Street as Receiver of the Arizona Canal and of the Arizona Improvement Company. Mir Hall is certainly an able, clean, energetic bus mess man thoroughly acquainted with the handling of financial propositions and so far as the HERALD knows is not in any way involved with either side in the controversy that has en- sued pending the appointment He has however been hOnOred with no sin ecure. In actual practice it has taken a book-keeper two years to become sufficiently acquainted with the com plicated business to make him q com potent man for the position, which in dicates in small way the importance of the great business that has been en- trusted to AIr Halls management. Ii is to be hoped that he will be entirely successful in handling it to the satis- faction of all concerned.

The row among the Kentucky belles about christening the new battleship Kentucky seems to have arisen from a promise by ex-Secretary of the Navy Herbert to Miss Richardson that she should smash the bottle of champaign on that occasion.

It is not very clear that the supposed
 murder in College Place night before last was a murderat all. The presum- able murderer is a character so vague and indefinite that pursuit of him is like pursuing a shadow. That the wound is not large and that there was no powder stains is very light evi- dence that the wound was not self in fiicted; that the victim did not know what he was talking about is indicat- ed and is not surprising; a man with bullet in his brain could scarcely be expected to be a credible witness. There is q bare possibility that it was murder.
