Witness Before the Industrial Commission
Who Represents No Interest.
Washington, Dec. 13.-John RIOS
passos, of New York, author of works
on international law, appe,fed before
the industrial commission yesterday
He said that he represented no inter-
est. He commended the commission of
inquiry as proper one, and suggested
that similar committee should have
been appointed to inquire into the rail
road business before the passage of
the interstate commerce law. This
statute he pronounced 'the most re-
markable legislation ever enacted"
From this point Dospassos passed into
a general condemnation of useless and
injurious legislation, saying that it
would be to the advantage of the coun-
try if all the laws enacted in the Unit
ed States since 1913 were destroyed.
He contended that there mad never
been any monopolies in this country
unless in the case of patent rights.
There was on monopoly in the present
aggregations of capital. These coInbi-
nations were the natural and neces
sary result of existing conditions. Dos
passes asserted that the natural laws
of commerce were an effectual barrier
against monopoly. He asserted that it
had been found impossible to efectual-
ly corner any real staple.

PErTIGREw's SUGGESTIVE QUERY.

Wants to Know Whether Dewey Ewes
Saluted philippine Flag.
Washington, Dec 13.-In the senate
yesterday Pettigrew offered a resolu-
ton to this effect:
'"That the secretary of the navy be.
and he is hereby, directed to inform
the senate whether the flag of the
Philippine republic was carried by
vessels in the bay of Manila, and
whether the flag of the Philippine re-
public was ever saluted by Admiral
Dewey or any of the vessels of his feet
at any time since May l, 1898; were
Spanish prisoners delivered over to the
Philippine forces at the time of the
surrender at Subig bay? Did a vessel
commanded by the forces under Aguin-
aldo, flying the Philippine flag, accom-
pany the vessels Concord and Raleigh
back to Subig bay in June, 1898, in or
der to compel the surrender of the
Spanish forcesY"
Pettigrew asked for immediate con-
sideration of the resolution, but Chan
der objected and it went over.

Ind ian Returns to His Tribe.

When Spotted Horse, the young
Cheyenne Indian who has returned tc
the ways of his tribe in order to marry
his sweetheart, was united to her 9
month ago, the ceremony was eele-
brated with great formality. The
girls name is White Dove, and she is
said to be the prettiest girl on the re-
servation. Her father was All Army
officer, and her mother, although a
full-blooded Indian, had been well
educated. When White Dove was
born the whole tribe stood sponsor for
her and cared for her during her child
hood. She was stolen when ten years
old by Kiowa chief, and was rescued
later by her people. 1t is said she
was as wild as any OF her people, and
ran away from one hoIN to another
until she met Spotted Horse. Her re-
gard for him has stood the test OF time

India'S Desert.

The sand ridges, or dhoras, of the
Indian desert spring from low cross
ridges, or saddles, like closed fingers
from the knuckles of the back of the
hand, but in reverse and parallel
directions that is to say, the ridges
face both northeast and southwest,
covering q longitudinal distance Of
one or two miles, when they are again
repeated in q similar formation.
Their cross slopes average two to one
and are we'll covered with desert
grasses and bushes, an occasional
acacis or rohira tree breaking the
monotony of the landscape. This
peculiar formation ends abruptly at
the sandstone cliffs of Sata, about a
thousand feet above sea level, which
form a barrier to their further ex-
tension eastward. When seen for the
first time from these heights they
have q confused, wave-like appear
snce, and it is only ultimately dis
covered that they form in plan parallel
but tapering edges. With the excep-

"Weli, what did you play?" asked

"Cops and Burglars" was the eager
answer.
"Dreadful! and what did you play"
she demanded of her sweet-faced lit

The Foulards and Silks in Vogue.

Satin foulards and India silks are to
be worn this season more than ever
before. Blue is perhaps the most
popular color, but it is much bright
er blue than the old navy worn so
long. A special novelty in these silks
shows a Persian stripe alternating
with plain stripe of blue, red, green
or black. In some patterns the plain
stripe is dotted over with small polka
dots. but the effect in either case is
very stylish. These silks are used
for entire gowns, and are especially
pretty for the tucked shirt waists.
