under the estuary bank were rolling

ANOTHER HILL PLAN
Railroads May Assume Absolute
Control of All Ex-
press Lines.

Chicago, Jan 1.-The Record to-
will say: Absolute control
of the vast interests of the nations
express companies may fall into the
hands of the railway financial powers.
Preliminary steps toward such an OBJ
ject are said to have been taken under
the guidance of J. Pierpont Morgan,
James J. Hill and others who are
figuring prominently in the recently
reported railroad deals, and the gen.
eral scheme has been outlined.
Report has it that the powers intend
to conduct the express business Of the
country as a regular department. of
railway operations, strong provisions
being made to have all the roads act
in harmony. While nothing definite
regarding their plans is obtainable, it
is claimed to be che intention of the
railroad officers to refuse to renew
contracts with companies where the
remaining life of the contracts is not
long and to make outright purchases
of franchises where contracts still
have long lives before them.
The express companies have con-
tracts ranging all the way from five
to 20 years and at the expiration OF
their legal agreements they are at the
mercy of the railroad companies.

ATTACKED BY BACON
Georgian Leads Fight Against
Portion of Army Reorgan-
ization Bill.

Washington, Jan. lin the senate
today a vigorous attack was made
upon that portion of the army reorgan-
ization bill which confers upon the
president discretionary power to in
crease the strength Of the army to the
maximum limit fixed by the bill.
Bacon Of Georgia began the attack
and Platt Of Connecticut replying,
maintained that discretionary power
ought to be conferred upon the presi-
dent and expressed establishment that
any body shall entertain the fear that
the power ever would be abused.
Bacon declared he would rather see
his party condemned to universal and
n~everending Punishment from politi
cal power than to see such authority
placed in the hands of the president.
The amendment opening the way to
the appointment Of volunteer officers
to grades as high as that of captain in
the regular establishment was adopted.
Just before adjournment Carter of
Montana called up the bill apportion-
ing the representatives of the United
States among the several states.
Without debate it was passed precisely
as it came from the house. 1t now
goes to the president for his signature.

Instructions to Be Given By Priests or
Others After Regular Hours.

Manila, Jan. 1.-THE first discus
sion of the bill to establish a depart
ment of public instruction today de-
veloped a contest on the question of
religion in the public schools. The
discussion was over the sections per-
hitting priests and ministers to teach
religion for half al hour, three times
weekly, outside of school hours, pro-
vided that parents expressed a written
desire for such instruction, and pro-
hibiting teachers from conducting re-
ligious exercises or teaching religion.
The directors of the federal party
were represented by a committee, who,
although Catholics, argued strongly in
favor of the elimination of the Sec

is contrary to the United States consti'

an English shipping corporation, had
made formal protest to this govern

PARTITION OF CHINA SEEM
INGLY BEGUN.
BEAR and LION DECKER
Former. to Get the North While
Latter Will Hold Yang
TIE Valley.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Daily Chron-
icle makes the following important
statement: "From a trustworthy
source we learn that Lord Salisbury
has agreed to cede to Russia the rail-
way from Niu-Chwang to Shan-Hai-
Kwnag. It is not known what COM
p%ensation will be received for the con
cession."
Leading financiers versed in Chi
nese affairs, who were interviewed
yesterday by a representative of the
Daily Mail appeared to think that if
the news were correct. it indicated
that Lord Salisbury recognized the i'm
possibility Of preventing partition of
China, and that Russia would get the
north and Great Britain the Yang
TIE valley.
Prince Uchtomsky's mission to Pc
kin, says the st. Petersburg cores
pondent of the Daily Mail, was to Sc
sure a convention on the following
basis: In return for renouncing her
claim for a war indemnity Russia de.
mands an indefinite instead of a &C
year lease of Lao Tung peninsula and
of Port Arthur. In other words, she
demands annexation as we'll as com
plete possession of the Manchuriar
railway, which under the existing
agreement reverts to China after 9(

Say She Is Good
Looking.

Kansas City, Jan. 11-Mrs. Lulu
Prince Kennedy, who last evening
shot and killed her husband of a
month, Phillip H. Kennedy, at his
office in the Ridge building, passed a
restless night in Jail. @
She refused the breakfast brought
to her by the police matron and
awaited the meal ordered by her
brother from Il nearby hotel. She
walked to and fro fretting all day.
She refused to talk to reporters Of the
murder, except to inquire, with a
smile: "Did they get out any extras
and did the papers say I was good
looking
ST don't want to talk to any man."
said Mrs. Kennedy later. will let
other people do the talking"
The developments today make it evi-
dent that the murder was ~premeditat-
ed. In a scuf1e following the shoot
ing yesterday a man struck Kennedy's
brother as he attempted to disarm the
murderess. Today the mans hat, who
had disappeared before he was identi'
fed, was found. It was stated thai
the hat belonged to Mrs. Kennedy's

REMAINS UNSETTLED.
Latest Negotiations Do Not Improve Status
of Venezuelan Controversy.

Latest Negotiations Do Not Improve Status
of Venezuelan Controversy.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE status Of
the Venezuelan controversy has not
been improved by the last negotia-
tions between the United States and
Venezuela and this government has
demonstrated against the seeming
determination of the Venezuelan au-
thorities to take executive cognizance
of the asphalt troubles, instead OF
leaving them to a decision Of the ju-
dicial branch.
The desire of this government from
the outset has been that this matter
be left to the court and it has sought
to impress this view upon the Venezu-
elan government. But the latest adj
vices have indicated to the officials that
Venezuela inclines to take executive
authority over the subject. The
United States has therefore remon-
strated against such exercise of execu-
tive authority and there Is the fullest
belief that Venezuela will not, under
the circumstances, insist upon carry.
ing out her view of taking the mat
ter out Of the hands Of the courts.

American parties and the Filipino
federal party and is certain to cause
discord.
The reports of the Central Catholic
society, who appeared in behalf OF
permitting religious instruction in the
schools, said they did not assume to
represent Filipinos politically, but
religiously. They asked time for prep
aration of a reply and were given un-
til Monday.
Judge Taft said the attitude of the
United States Philippine commission
as a legislative power was one OF alb
solute indifference between the Cath
Ole, Protestant or Mohammedan re-
ligions. The commissioners. he ad-
ded, endeavored to frame an act sc
that religious prejudices would assist
instead of retarding the scheme.
