larger degree. thus renewing the de-
structive efforts Of the Wilson tariff.
The condemnation Of trusts and mo-
nopolies is amusing, considering that
the Democrats in Congress refused
to vote for an amendment to the
Constitution which would enable
Congress to properly legislate in that
direction.
The Washington Post, in an able
editorial, contrasts the surplus of al
most three hundred million dollars in
the United States Treasury at the
present time, with the balance four
years ago which was the result of
bond issues in time of peace. It
also shows that Notwithstanding the
heavy war expenses that have been,
and are being incurred, the surplus
for this fiscal year will amount to
about $65, ,O00, 900 as compared with
the deficit of nearly $4,000, 900 four
years ago. It is pointed out that
this is not the result Of the war taxes
alone, because, comparing the month
of May this year with May, 1896,
there was an increase of almost
$1,000, 900 this year in receipts from
customs alone.
The people Of the United States
are paying $1,OO0,000 q day for tropi-
cal products used in American manu-
factures, or for food and drink.
Most of the articles can be produced
in a more or less degree in the islands
which have recently come into closer
relationship with the United States.
These articles comprise sugar, coffee,
silk, rubber, fibres, fruits and nuts,
tobacco, tea. cotton, gums, cocoa,
spices, rice, cabinet and dye woods,
liquorice root, indigo, cork wood,
ivory, sponges, etc. AS our island
possessions begin to develop under
American administration we shall
procure more of such articles from
those sources, and in return for our
purchases the people of the islands
will buy more of the products Of our
farms aud factories.

An antitrust amendment to the
Sherman law of 1890, as effective aud
far-reaching as the constitution will
permit, has also passed the House of
Representatives.
The appropriation bills have beon
carefully scrutinized, and although
the aggregate is large, they are free
from all questionable items. The
growth of the country and the con-
tinued disorder in the Philippine Is
lands are solely accountable for the
increase in these annual bills.
1t was not deemed practicable to
reduce the revenues during the last
session, but, should the present rate
of surplus continue, the Committee
on Ways and Means, having obtained
leave to sit during the recess, will
bring in bill aud press its passage

Meanwhile the Treasury Depart
ment has used about twenty-eight
millions in refunding operations and
will use twenty-five millions more in
the 2 per cents already called in,

Congress has also done much in
killing proposed legislation of bad

There were busy days at the capi-
tol toward the closing of Congress.
Members of the Republican party, in
both the Senate and the House, had
quite q number of important bills to
watch, and they were equally as alert
in checking the efforts of the Demo-
cratic members to work something
mischievous into q law without be-
ing noticed.
The majority report of the Mill
tary Affairs Committee into the
Coeur d'Alene mining troubles, shows
that the governor of Idaho is to be
commended for his courage and fear
lessness; that the conduct of the mill
tary is a matter of earnest congratu-
lation to the country; and that the
President was justified in sending
troops to Shoshone county in re-
sponse to the application of the gov
ernor. The military forces under
the command of General Merriam
were used strictly in aid of the civil
authorities, and both President Nc
Kinloy and the war Department exer-
cised every precaution to act solely
within the Constitution.

THE CORONER'S VERDICT
In the Red Ash Mine Disaster-Lack
of Proper Ventilation.

Charleston, w. Va, March 1.-THE
coroner's jury, which has been hearing
evidence as to the cause of the recent
disaster at Red Ash mine, today re-
turned the following verdict:
We, the jury, find that B. B. Long
and others came to death by reason of
an explosion of gas in Red Ash mine,
in Fayette county, West Virginia, on
the 9Th of March, 1900, caused by lack
OF proper ventilation on that date
Evidence at the inquest showed that
the men entered the mine before the
fire boss had examined and reported
on its condition, also that there was
some probability that the workmen
leaving the mine en- the night previous
to the explosion left one or more ven-
tilating doors open.
Up to date total Of forty-Seven
dead have been removed from Red Ash
mine. Others taken out, though bad
ly injured, will recover. Only two
more known to have been in the mine
have not been accounted fora man
named Prefado and a boy named Ham

EXCESSIVE FREIGHT RATES.
City of Danville Wins Its Case Against
the Southern Railway.

Washington, March 14.-Commission-
merce commission, today rendered a
decision in the case of the City of DAN
vile and others against the Southern
railway. holding that the system of
rate-making into Southern territory
under which on traffic from ST Louis,
Chicago and other points the rates to
Danvilla are the sums of locals to and
from the Ohio river, and the rates 10
Lynchburg are made on a much lower
joint rate basis, is utterly unrea soma
BILE
After saying whatever has honestly
and in good faith gone into the railroad
enterprise should be protected the de-
cision holds:
But the people living in such ter
ritory are also entitled to protection,
and the Southern railway, by virtue
of the fact that it has obtained pos
session of and now controls the ave-
nues of communication by rail between
the city of Danville and the outside
world has no right 10 deprive that
community of the competitive advan-
tageS which the enterprise of it's citi-
ZenS in one way or another has Secur-
ed and upon the strength of which
business conditions have grown up; it
must recognize the geographical posi-
tion and the commercial Importance Of
the city of Danville.
In determining the Danville rate
from New Orleans and western points
OF shipment, the Southern railway
which dominates the situation, should
instead of adding to the rate to Lynch
burg the local back from Lynchburg
recognize that the business is thorough
hi ~ ~,
competitor of Danville, enjoys a low
through rate, and upon which Danville
itself is entitled to a through-rate
If the carriers desire to make rates
in that manner, the commission de-
cides they must SO adjust their
charges as not to annihilate the city
of Danville. 1t is held that rates to
Danville must be adjusted with rela-
ton to competitive localities like
LynchbuIg, and the carriers from the
point of origin to destination should
pro-rate in these rates if they partici-
pate in either Lynchburg or Danville
business.
Under all the circumstances and
conditions freight rates from northern
and eastern cities, from western points
of shipment and from New Orleans to
Lynchburg may properly be somewhat
lower than those to Danville, but the
present rates to Danville as compared
with those to Lynchburg are declared
excessive. The rates from northern and
estern cities to Danville and those
from New Orleans to Danville on su-
gar, molasses, rice and coffee, should
not exceed those to Lynchburg by
more than 10 per cent.
THE rates between Danville and the
west, including the rate on tobacco to
Louisville, KY, should not exceed
those between Lynchburg and the west
by more than Is per cent"
The case is held open to await re-
adjustment of rates by the companies
interested.

PORTO RIGAN LEGISLATION.
Caucus of Republican Senators-Tariff
Bill to be Postponed-The Others to
be Passed.

Washington, March 1.-THE repub-
lican senators in caucus today reach
ed partial agreement ON Porto Rican
legislation The house bill appropri-
ating 100000 is to be taken UP and
passed Immediately. The bill for a.
civil government of the island is to be
taken up and disposed of as soon as
possible and the tariff bill is to be de-
layed for the present. while a commit
tee of seven senators, to be selected by
Chairman Allison, is to try to COM
promise the differences on the revenue
bill, and secure a measure which re-
publican senators generally can sup
port. This partial agreement was
reached after caucus lasting from
2 O'Clock until $50 o'clock.
The temper of the debate today was
much milder than that of yesterday
As soon as 1t was generally understood
that the tariff features of the legis-
iat1on were to be prepared the discus
sion reverted 20 the governmental fea-
lures Of the bill ard upon this subject
the time was mostly spent. Sena tors
opposed to tariff on Porto EIcan
products said that there would not be
the least objection to passing the gov
ernment bill
Senator Ell<inS favored leaving not
only the question of revenues, but the
government of the island, as well, as
the president. He thought the island
would he much better off under mill
'ary rule for the next two years.
Senator Foraker said that the uues-
ton of dealing with the island was be-
fore congress and he fer one thought
congress should act. The committee on
Porto Rico had given a great deal of
time to the subject and felt sure the
Dill prepared would meet all emer-
gencies.
There was general unanimity as to
the wisdom of providing for immedi-
ate action on the $4,000, 5000 relief prop
osltlon, the opinion of all senator's
being that that measure should be
passed for humane reasons.
senator Platt. of Connecticut. ex-
pressed himself as firmly convinced
tnat the principle of protective tariff
IN the interest of the Industries of the
United States should be sustained in
whatever it was done.
Senator Foraker expressed the opfn-
lon in this connection that the Porto
RlcanS themselves would not object to
the tariff provided by the house bill
and said that some of the residents of
the islands had even gone SO far as to
say that they would cheerfully accent
a % per cent. rate
senator Hoar said the senate could
not act with too great deliberation in
considering so momentious a subject
ana senator Warren agreed with him.
Ihe wyoming senator said he had
peen 1aVoraose to absolute free trade
between Porto Rico and the Irnita6
states proper, but he had felt that
everything was to be gained and moth
ing lost by proceeding deliberately.
Senator's Aldrich and Mason smoke
on the same lines and this view finally
prevailed as to the tariff
