TO REDUCE YARDAGE CHARGES
Furious Time Had Over the Stock Bill
Debate in the Missouri
Legislature.

ST. LOUIS, March ga special to the
Republic from Jefferson City, Mo, says:
The bill TO regulate stockyard charges
caused furious excitement in last night s
session of the house. Charges of dishonest
voting were openly made and pandemonium
reigned at times furious that it seemed
probable that the members would come to
blows. The object of the bill is to reduce
yardage and other charges from 80 to %
per cent. 1t is said TO be duplicate CT the
Kansas law The bill was placed on its
passage during the early part of the session
and defeated; yeas 81, nays 81.
Mr.. Bohart of Clinton moved to recon
slider the vote by which the bill had failed
to pass, and his opening sentence was:
Honest men and honest legislation have
no place in the Missouri Legislature"
IF the gentleman from Clinton means to
insnuate that undue influence caused a ma
jorty of the house to vote against the bill,
he says what he knows IS false" retorted
Mr.. Jones of Howell.

garded the remarks of Mr.. Bohart as the
rawlings Of a misguided youth"

ooNFIscATED FILIPINO LETTERS.
Troubles OF the InsurSent Govern
ment Come to Light.


WASHINGTON, March 23.-The capture
of Caloocan in the Philippine island of
LuZon by the United States forces recently
resulted in the conhscation of considerable
mail addressed to the insurgent government.
1t includes number OF letters OF Aguinaldo
and other leaders and brings out some inter
esting facts about Filipino Official methods.
Postal Agent Vaille, at Manila, has for
warded some Of this mail to acting Post
master General Heath.
One letter is addressed to Aguinaldo's So
called secretary of the treasury and is in
reply to a request for money. The writer is
apparently the fiscal officer at Lucona,
Luzon, to whom the insurgents had entrusted
the duty OF squeezing the merchants and
he had apparently confscated for the insur
gent cause a lot of cocoa fibre belonging to
a large tobacco company. When asked TO
turn over the proceeds the agent remarks
that only $4,000 had come into his hands and
that amount he had paid to the troops who
were clamorous for more. The letter is
written in very fair Spanish
Apparently Aguinaldo's treasury officials
are running short of paper, for the outer
covering OF the letter is made OF a sheet OF
paper, written all over torn out OF a record
book, and it was tied about with frag-
ment CT Manila bagging.
No. S5-This government is in receipt OF

Another captured letter received by the

to Aguinaldo's secretary OF the interior, in
which he apologies for not being present
at Malolos assigning as reason that the
telerram commanding his presence though

sepce he SAYS he ordered all the local

NO NEWS OF BOUNDARY BATTLE
state Department and british Em-
bassy Confer Regarding the
Reported Conflict.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Both the State
department and the British embassy. which
have been giving the subject close attention.
are so far unable to locate the scene Of the
reported collision between the American
miners and the Canadian mounted police,
which was the subject Of a story brought
by a miner returning from Alaska to Van
couver recently. At one point the statement
seems to relate to the Porcupine river coun-
try, but the officials say there is no reason
why there should be doubt entertained as
to the rights OF either party on that river
There are two marks, one American and one
Canadian on the river 200 miles above its
confluence with the Yukon. These marks
are separated six miles, being in the neigh
borhood Of Rampant house. and, under the
arrangement which both countries have been
trying to live up TO. pending the establish
ment of a definite boundary line, the tempo
rary boundary which both Americans and
Canadians must observe lies half way be-
tween the two marks
But the account given by this returned
miner seems to lend the understanding that
the scene OF difficulty is 500 or 600 miles
away from the Porcupine river in the neigh
borhood of the Dawson trail, and that Il is
not far from the Atln district in British
Columbia. The charts show no stream by
the name of Porcupine in that section.
There is a Porcupine digging, hut this is
said to be fully six miles within the mark
that has been uniformly recognized as the
temporary boundary in that section.
/ Both sides are extremely anxious to take
such action as will prevent a collision be-
tween unauthorized and lawless characters
and. as already stated the disposition is
shown to live UP to the modus vivendi
