UNDER a HORSES FEET.
MIR. j. w. o. sterIey's Narrow Escape
From Being TrampIed to Death.


Mr.. ]. w. o. Sterly, chief clerk in the
United States engineers office and a
prominent witness before the Carter court
martial, had an almost miraculous escape
from injury in a bicycle accident yester-
day morning.
MIR. Sterly was riding on Bull street, and
coliided with a carriage going north. He
fell. but was fortunate enough to land
outside of the horses feet and escaped
with a few sliAht bruises. His wheel be
came tangled Up with the animals feet,
however, and was badly damaged.
The driver of the carriage was probably
responsible for the escape of Mr. Sterly,
as ne swung the horses around by a quick
effort. Mr.. Sterly said the accident was
unavoidable, and he did not consider him,
self or the driver to blame.

CALIFORNIA MARBLE.
1t Will Probably be Used for the
New Public Building.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Supervising
Architect Taylor to-day requested that
the Columbia Marble Quarry Company
send to him shaft of pure white mar
BILE twenty-four inches long and not
less than six inches in diameter. The
object is to have a block of sufficient
SIZE to show the distance between seams
and estimate whether it is possible to
get blocks large enough for use in the
construction of the exterior walls of the
new public building. The department
expects that Superintendent Roberts
will visit the quarry next week and go
into the matter thoroughly. His re-
port will cover not only the point as to
whether the quarry can supply enough
marble like the sample, but also wheth-
er it can be produced as cheaply as
granite. as is alleged by quarrymen.
In case these points are settled sat
isfactorily this marble undoubtedly will
be used in the building. This will in
sure a structure which, in the opinion
of architects in the Treasury Depart
ment,s will be the most beautiful ever
erected by the Government. as in no
other has there been used sucn pure
white marble. The sample now on ex-
hibition here is pronounced statuary"
marble by the Supervising Architect
The trip of Roberts will be postponed
until after General Soy Smith has COM
pleted his Investigations. which must
be hurried, as he is due in New York by
February 10th His report will be
brought here and personally presented
to Assistant Secretary Spaulding.

COMMISSIONER CARLETON.
HIS PRESENCE is DISQUIETING
TO THE MOORS.
He Determined to Stick to the
Court Until He Received an
Answer to His Message.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6. - Correspond
ence from Tangier, Morocco, under date
of January Goth, says: If the Sherifan
Government has found Harry Carleton,
the United States Special Commissioner,
a thorn in its side during the present
campaign, it has only itself to thank.
1t has unhesitatingly undertaken to
perform anything and everything with
out the slightest intention of comply
ing with its promises.
After the United States cruiser Raj
eigh visited this coast last spring and
the United States representatives had
failed to obtain satisfaction, Mr.. Garlic
ton was sent to the Moorish Court to
demand an immediate reply to the
American demands. He left the Raj
eigh at anchor off Mazagan, and on
arriving at Marrakesh with his dis
patch the Government wished to bring
into play their customary policy of
procrastination. but when the Commits
sioner informed them that he was or
dered to return to the ship within
twenty four hours after his arrival at
Marragesh, with or without an answer,
The Sultans advisers, whose sole idea
was to get the American ships out of
.MOtilSH waters, gave a VERBAL reply "
the effect that instructions would be
given TO the Sultan's Foreign Minister
al Tangier to settle the principal claims
at once. and that the minor ones would
be inquired into at no distant date.
on Mr.. Cartoons return, he, after
waiting for a reasona BILE time to elapse
called on Sid Mohammed Torres to
learn what had been done, but was as
sured by the Sultan,s Minister that no
instructions had been received from the
Government with regard to the Ameri-
can claims When more than sufficient
time had passed for Sid Mohammed
Torres to write to and receive a reply
from the court, it was found that the
Minister had received no communica-
ton on the matter
Mr.. Carleton was sent to obtain in
writing the promise which had only
been given him verbally. On arriving
at Marrakesh the usual evasive policy
was pursued, till at last, just before the
departure of the court. the Commits
sioner is said 10 have been informed
that the members of the Moorish Gov
ernment We're sorry that they could
not attend TO United States affairs at
present, as the Sultan was going to
.'eat up the dogs who had refused to
pay their taxes and laugh in the
boards" Of his Governors.
Mr.. Carleton said he could not return
with such message to his chief, so he
would follow the court till there was
iull in hostilities. when, no doubt. the
Government would find time to attend
to his business. Every effort was made

RAILROAD MANDAMUSED.
It Must Sell Governor Pingree's
Family a Mileage Ticket.

DETROIT (Mich.), Feb. J.-Judge
Donovan of the Circuit Court to-day Or
dered the issuance of mandamus
against the Michigan Central Railroad
in the suit brought by Governor Pin
gree to compel the railroad company
to sell him 10000 mileage book. good
not only for himself but for any MEM
Der of his family.
Judge Donovan reviewed the railroad
company's contention-viz. that under
its special charter the company was
granted the privilege of fixing its own
rates Of fares, which privilege, how
ever, was claimed by the State to be
indefinite, as the roads charter merely
gave he company power 10 fix fares by
laws and only. reasonable rates could be
fixed, as under such power all rules
touching the welfare and duty of citi-
zens, their property, comfort and hap
pinass can be regulated by law, this
being true of hacl1men, millers. toll
roal-owners, common carriers, liquor
dealers and all others doing public
business. The court said:
1T is also claimed for the State that
the Michigan Central secured control
of the various branches and reported
TO the State vast holdings with these
idation with some six or eight lesser
lines. That these branch lines were
built by the Michigan Central or are
held by stock or mortgages in various
ways by the company is not clearly
designated in their State reports"
Judge Donovan cited a recent New
Jersey case in which it was held that
similar acts mean a consolidation, and
pointed out the fact that the Federal
Courts have held in a case from Geor-
gia bearing on exclusive rights by
charter TO charge hve-cent fare. that
the Legislature still has power TO gov
ern the rate. He also quoted Chief
Justice Waite as having said that when
one devoted property to a public use
he must be controlled by the public
laws.
Judge Donovan quotes several de-
cisions of the United States Supreme
Court under which the right to regu-
late fares and charges was reserved
20 the State. He concluded that the
Michigan Central is still under police
power reserved to the State. Continu-
ing he said:
The company cannot fix rates by
laws repugnant to the laws of the
State The company cannot even ten
der 10 this State what it purchased in
1916 and which the State could buy
back in 1867 The holdings are so
vast that eventually either the COM
pany Will control the State railway
system or that function must remain
in the State. In case of doubt the
State is entitled to the doubt The
mandamus will issue"

COAXlNG the AGRARIANS.
THE LIBERAL PRESS DISAP-
PROVES THE POLICY.
Says It Will Result in Gaining the
Ill Will of America and
Make Fruit Dearer.

BERLIN, Feb. 6. = The freedom
which the Reichstag and the Prussian
Diet conceded this week to the Agrari-
ans who formulated numerous wishes
and complaints, is significant. The
Minister of Agriculture, Baron Won
HammersteinLoXten promised the
Government that he would grant as
many of their demands as possible.
At the moment he was making this
declaration measures We're preparing
to stop the importation of American
fruit and the decree in that connection
had already been issued. The entire
Liberal press openly disapproves of the
policy, and asserts it was a Government
trick to obtain the vote of the Agrari-
ans for Emperor Williams naval bill.
The leading commercial journals point
to the ill-will and indignation such
measures are bound to produce in
America, and to the futility of prohib-
iting the importation of an article Ger
many does not produce with sufficiency.
The newspapers claim the only result
will be that fruit will be imported
from the south of Europe at a higher
cost than is now being paid for Amer
lean fruits
the opinion that the decree will not be
permanent, and that it was only in
tended as temporary act of retalia
ton for the American treatment of
German sugar. Inquiry made at the
Foreign Office and at the Prussian Ag-
ricultural Department, however, shows
the steps taken to be only forerunnerS
of others of more Importance, the Gov
hot
thing must be done to crafty the Agra
rian demand for retaliation on the
United States. There was an exemplifi-
cation in the Reichstag on Tuesday.
when DIR. Hahn. friend of Prince
Bismarck, demanded the prohibition of
American horses.
The total exclusion Of live cattle and
hogs is also under consideration The
sugar producers have petitioned the
Imperial Chancellor that no tariff
agreement shall be accepted unless the
United States tariff on German sugar
is reduced 20 per cent. from the present
scale and an assurance given that no
other country will be more favorably
treated.
The "Reichsanzeiger" this evening
publishes the text Of an imperial ordi-
nance dated yesterday and worded as
follows: I'm order to prevent the intro
duction of the San Jose shield louise.
the Importation of living plants and
fresh-plant refuse from America, also
barrels and boxes and other subjects
used in the packing or keeping thereof,
is prohibited until further notice.
THE same prohibition applies to the
dispatch cf fresh fruit and fresh fruit
refuse whenever the examinatio made
at place of entry may establish the
presence of the San Jose louise
This prohibition does not apply in
any way to the goods which enter by
ships and remain on the ships. The
Imperial Chancellor is empowered to
grant exceptions and 10 take the neces-
sary precautionary measures"

BOLD BURGLARS.
Weber &c Co.'s Store Entered on
Saturday Night.

The discovery was made yesterday
morning that sometime during Satur-
day night burglars had entered the rear
portion of Weber e. Cos store on l..
street. near Thirteenth, and made an
attempt to reach the front salesroonl
but were unsuccessful
Entrance was effected to the store
room by boring holes in the door and
removing a panel. but when the bur
glars reached the front portion of the
store, which includes the counting
room, safe, etc, they encountered an
iron door that was too much for them
They managed to spring one of the iron
bars, but could not get the door open
and left the premises with nothing for
their labors.
The store is the same one that was
robbed on the night of December %
1854, when the Kovalev gang of Rus
sian "exiles" so brutally murdered Mr..
and Mrs. L. H. l.. Weber. who lived
in the upper story. 1t would seem
that burglars would be little chary
of tackling that place again. yet they
operated quite freely on Saturday night
and though the upper floor was occu-
pied nobody heard them.

but he remained firm. Since he has
been with the army every device has
been resorted to and the Moorish
Court possesses many-to persuade him
TO return to Tangier, but he has refused
to bulge.
He is expected to return here shortly
to give an account to his chief of what
he had achieved up to the end of the

fairs to the new representatives. 1t is
believed that on his return an authentic
account of Muley Abdul Axis military
