SPECIAL COMMITTEE DECIDES 1T
UNNECESSARY TO AMEND BILL

sage-Senate Creates a Sensation
by Announcing That Money Came
From Sources Known to Members.

AUSTIN, Tex, April 2O.-The special
committee appointed by the senate to
give hearings to parties interested in the
Arkansas antitrust bill now pending in
the Texas legislature to-day made their
report to the senate, recommending that
the bill be passed without amendments
save one to provide that the bill shall
not become operative until Jan. l, 1900
The committee of representatives of the
labor unions of the state asks that they
be exempted from the provisions of the
bill by amendments, but as the bill does
not touch them, IN the opinion of the
committee, it is suggested that no
amendment be added to the bill. In
this particular the house committee re-
port dissents, in that 1t recommends that
an amendment exempting the labor
unions be added.
The house committee also adopted an
amendment providing that no insurance
company pooling in another state in the
Union and doing business in this state
shall be held responsible for the pool
without the state. That is where the
strong fight will come over the passage
of the bill, as this is the clause the in
-surance people want adopted A major
ity of the house are opposed to this
amendment, and the probabilities are
that the bill will pass without it.
The senate created somewhat of a SEN
sation today and incurred an interesting
debate over a proposition to appoint a
committee to investigate who was paying
tolls for the thousands of kilograms the
members were being deluged with The
statement was made on the floor of the
senate that the fire insurance people were
spending thousands of dollars in their
efforts to intimidate legislation on this
subject, and they were responsible for
all this telegraphing. Some of the mem
bers were of the opinion that other
trusts We're behind the opposition to the
bill as we'll as the fire insurance COM
panieS.
After lengthy discussion, the sena-
tors decided that they were all acquainted
with the fact that the fire insurance
people were behind he telegraphic bust
ness and they voted down the resolution
for the investigation committee.
The tide seems to have turned in fa-
vor of the antitrust bill today, and some
petitions are being received asking for
its passage. No discussion will be held
before tomorrow

HIGHBINDERs AT WAR.
Three Victims Occupy Slabs In the
Frisco MOrGue.

Three Victims Occupy Slabs In the
Frisco MOrgue.
FRESNO, Cal, April 20.-A bloody
highbinder war that has been expected
for some days broke out in Chinatown
early this morning, and as a result three
Mongolians occupy slabs in the morgue,
two more are at the county hospital, NOR
tally wounded, and nine are behind the
bars in the county jail.
The trouble which led to the murders
commenced with the conviction of Tai
Choh, who was yesterday removed to
San Quentin to serve a ten years SEN
tence for murder in the second degree.
The local Tongs were sharply divided on
the issue. The matter was rendered
more acute when Gee Wing sold some
property on China alley for $1,000 and fed
from the state to escape his creditors.
A number of laborers and others to
whom he owed sums ranging from $50
to $3.50, instituted criminal proceedings.
Meanwhile the highbinders had taken the
matter up, and it is believed that one
of their objects was to blackmail Gee
Wing or to bring about a forcible set
tlement Of the laborers' claims.

Request to Return Volunteers Via
Suez Canal Denied.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 20.-Gov. Stan
ley has received letter from the secre-
tary of war relative to the request that
the Twentieth Kansas be brought home
by way Of the SueZ canal, in which he
says:
from almost every organization now
serving in the Philippines from states
west of the Mississippi, and the uniform
reply has been given to all these that as
no transports in the Pacific would be
sent back to the United States by way
of the Suez canal, it would not be possi-
BILE to return any of the troops at any
place other than San Francisco. The
fleet of transports now on the Pacific
ocean is so limited, that it would not be
practical, If other conditions permitted,
to take any of them, from their present
station"

CONSERVATIVE COMBINE.

Trust Is Pronounced.
CLEVELAND, April 20.-The shipyard
combine, just formed, is looked upon as
probably the most conservative of all in
dustrials yet formed In this country.
There was no necessity for underwriting
of stock. 1t was all taken up by the
old companies, and the greatest difficulty
encountered by the old officials was to
avoid making enemies on account of their
inability to distribute any great part Of
the stock. Every share in the consolida-
ton might have been sold many times
over, as 1t was fully understood that the
management was to remain entirely in
the hands of men who had been respon-
sible for the upbuilding of this great in
dustry on the lakes, and whose interests
are in the consolidated organization as
much as they have ever been in the sew
eral old companies. The different plants
have in all eleven dry docks, including
one large new dock now under construc-
ton at the West Superior works. These

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.-There is
reason to believe that considerable coun-

passed late Tuesday night on Frederick
Peterson, barkeeper. John Keough, an
associate of the man who uttered these
coins, is in the custody of Secret Service
Agent Brown. The police and federal
detectives are In close quest of Keough's
companions, one of whom is known as
Joseph Walker. Keough states that he
and Walker came here via Puget Sound
points from the state of Washington
where they had been employed in a coal
mine. He says that on the steamer
Queen they met the man who passed the
bad money, and that he seemed to have
large supply Of IS pieces, which he
spent, lavishly. His Identity is as yet
unknown. The counterfeits are Of good

American side.
MANILA. April 20.-Spain's evacuation
of the Philippine islands will be practi-
cally completed by the withdrawal of
the Spanish garrison from Zamboanga,
island of Mindanao, and from the Sulu
islands, and if the United States assume
control of Mindanao and the Sulu islands
on the Spaniards withdrawing, the mill
tary authorities here must, in order to
garrison those islands, diminish the force
of American troops here, which is already
too small.
There was almost mutiny among the
Spanish troops in the islands because
they were ordered to proceed to the La
drcne islands and the Caroline islands,
some of them refusing to do so, claiming
that their enlistments had expired. The
latter were exempted, and were allowed
to return to Spain on board the trans
port Alava.
The native troops in the Spanish gar
risons are in a sad plight They must
| accompany the Spaniards or risk the VEN
geance of their compatriots.. The Span
siards propose to disband them, but they
refuse to give up their arms.
ANARCHY In SIGHT.
The natives of Zamboanga, embolden-
ed by the suspicious capture of the arma-
ments on board the Spanish gunboats,
which were purchased there by Francisco
Reyes, of this place, as cabled to the
Associated Press on April 13, are likely
to prove troublesome when the Spanish
garrisons are withdrawn from the coast
towns of the islands of Mindanao. 1t is
believed that the smouldering tribal wars
will then be resumed, anarchy will pre-
vail, and the inhabitants of nearly every
village will fight their neighbors.
A tripantite exchange of prisoners will
be arranged if it is possible to negotiate
with the Filipinos as if they were civ
ilized nation. If the Filipinos consent to
release the Spanish prisoners, the Ameri-
cans might release the Tagalos they hold
prisoners, in return for which Spain
would free her political prisoners. The
provisions of the Paris treaty would thus
be carried out. The Spanish commits
sion, however, hesitates to enter the
Filipino lines, fearing treachery although
Aguinaldo has guaranteed the safety of
the commissioners. The release of the
Filipinos held by the Americans might be
| distinctly advantageous, as they all claim
| to have been converted to the American
cause by the good treatment they have
received, and announce themselves to be
anxious to influence their friends in favor
of the policy of the United States.
