Montana and Washington, with BIin-
nesOta to the End.
At least two other states will be with
Governor Van SAINT to the finish in his
fight against railroad consolidation. They
are Montana and Washington. The peo-
pie and officials of both these states are
thoroughly aroused, and are heartily in
sympathy with Minnesota.
1t seems certain that the conference OF
governors at Helena next Monday will
be productive of widespread results. The
spectacle of the entire chain of states
through which the merged railroads run
uniting their efforts to preserve COM
petition, is bound to have its moral ef-
feet. 1t will undoubtedly set the pace
for adverse legislation calculated to give
the Northern Securities company a pause.
1t Is know that the interests owning the
railroads fear legislation more than even
action in the courts, though it Is a more
remote danger.
The legal phases of the question will be
thoroughly discussed by the attorney gen.
erals present. Governor Toole Of Nom
tana is one Of the ablest lawyers of the
state, and will be valuable in counsel.
Minnesota's course is determined, but
action may be begun in other states.

But TO DIE
Former Iowan Found Dying in
Louisiana From Exposure.
IN JAIL FOR AN ALLEGED MURDER
Friends Battered Down the Doors
and Gave Him FreedOm-SequeI
of Business War.

Special to The Journal
Webster City, Iowa, Dec. 25.-Word has
reached this city that c. H. Curtis, a
former resident, who was in jail in Bas-
trop, La, on the charge of murder, made
. his escape and was found frozen to death.
Curtis was until recently head book
keeper in the Beaumont laundry in this
city. Two years ago he left for Bastrop,
La, where he engaged in the general mer-
chandising business. Meeting with much
success, he was envied and cordially hated
by his hot-headed southern competitors.
They plotted to ruin him.
One day he became involved in wordy
war with one of these, Lazarus by name
They came to blows and Curtis shot him
in Self-defense. He was tried in Novem-
Der last for murder. The jury disagreed,
standing eight to four for acquittal. His
second trial was to have taken place in
January. While awaiting this trial in
the jail his friends one night congregated
about the place and battered the door
down, allowing him to escape. Three
days later he was found by a farmer in
deep woods almost frozen to death He
died before medical assistance could reach
him.
While in this city Curtis was highly re-
spected, being a leading member of the
Congregational church and a society ia
vorite.

IOWA LIVE STOCK
Hawkeye State Second Only to Texas
in the Number of Cattle,


in the Number of Cattle.
From The journal Bureau, Room <5, Post
building, Washington.
Washington, Dec. 25.-Speaking of the
rapid development of Iowa as a live stock
state, Frank L. Cummings of Des Moines.
who has been spending several days in
Washington, says:
1t is now second only to Texas in its num-
Der of cattle. l think it exceeds any state
in the union in its number of good. blooded
cattle. Over one-seventh of all the hogs in
the United States are in Iowa, and the
sheep-raising industry of the state ranks we'll
up. There is no longer any doubt that it
has more horses than any other state in the
union.
Mr.. Cummings has a table showing the
number of cattle, hogs, sheep and horses
in the United States. It was compiled
from the last federal census. and was
made public last fall at the live stock ex-
position in Chicago. It shows that the
total number of cattle, all kinds, is g.
9O6552; Of swine, all kinds, 63, ,297, ,249; of
sheep, all kinds, 61,414,024 The live stock
in Iowa, according to these figures, fol-
lows; Cattle, 6,366,S49; swine, 1851, ,995 !;
sheep, 1,056,715; horses, 1,4O1. APT. Mr..
Cummings continued:
Texas, which is the one state in the union
which exceeds Iowa in its number of cattle.
has 9,546,970 cattle Kansas stands next to
Iowa, having 4,495, ,O49. Nebraska is fourth.
Illinois fifth and Missouri sixth. Iowa has
nearly double the number of hogs of any
other state. Wyoming and the western states
take the lead in sheep. Illinois is next to
Iowa in horses.

WEDS A CHAMBERMAID
Young Man of Indiana Perturbs His
Family Greatly.
NesC York Sun Special Seryice


South Bend, Ind, Dec. 25.-An elopement
out of the ordinary took place from South
Bend and ended in the marriage of George
L. Cassiday, aged 49, and Miss Carrie Norein,
aged about 90 Because of the standing Of the
groom's parents, his father being vice presi-
dent Of a bag manufacturing concern, the
elopement caused a sensation.
Young Cassiday, last summer, began to
make love to Miss Norein, who was a cham
bermaid, it is said, in a local hotel His
relatives discovered that something was
amiss, and an investigation revealed the
facts Young Cassiday found it impossible to
secure a marriage license in this city, and
SO the journey to Niles, Mich, was planned.
Soon after leaving the city, a sister of the
groom learned OF her brothers intention and
Immediately went to Niles, but arrived there
too late, the cedemony having been COM
pleted 1t is stated that a scene followed
the arrival Of the sister, but the trio came
back to South Bend on an afternoon train
G. Burr Cassday, the father of the groom,
was furious when he learned that his efforts
to prevent the marriage had proved of no
avail, and he will take legal steps to have
the marriage annulled. The grandfather of
the boy, James Cassiday, one of the richest
men in the west, is also aroused, and he will
spend money to free his grandson.

STICKS TO WILSON
President VIII Not Accept the Res.
ignatiOn of the Secretary.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson offered his resignation to
President Roosevelt Monday night, but it
was not accepted. Instead of improving
this opportunity to find new head for the
agricultural department, the president
said he would not consent to anything Of
the sort, and did not know where he could
find another man as capable as the pres
ent secretary. President Roosevelt urged
Wilson to remain at his post and assured
him of his confidence and support.
Secretary Wilson learned Monday from
the newspapers that Governor Shaw has
been urged to take the secretaryship Of
the treasury. Secretary Wilson had not
been consulted. There was a great deal
Of gossip going around the city to the ef-
feet that this meant the early retirement
of the secretary of agriculture, as the
president would not want two men from
Iowa. The more he thought about the
matter the more Secretary Wilson be-
lieved it to be his duty to ascertain what
the situation was. Accordingly he called
at the White House and offered to get out
Of the cabinet in case he were in the way
Of any of the presidents plans as TO Iowa.

curities; or, Of delayed notice Of Mr.. Mil1a
er's appointment as traffic director?'' the
presidents answer was: 'Pay no atten-
tion to this; it is not worth answering"
Source of Increased Dividends.
The same answer was given in regard to
the point raised by the New York Post,
namely-that 4 per cent dividends upon
$225, 100000 of Northern Securities stock
which is to be given in exchange for $685.
100000 of Great Northern, would increase
the dividends of the latter to $9, 9,OOO, 900, as
compared with $6,897, 400 per annum at
present.
Inc same comment was made, likewise,
upon this point raised by the Post-that
per cent upon $40S, 900, 900 Of Northern
Securities stock calls for SIG, 600 divi-
dends per annum, instead Of $14, $50, 900
now produced by the northern roads, so
that the income of these roads must be-
increased to carry the Northern Securi-
ties.
When the newspaper representative
asked to be presented to Mr.. Miller for his
announcement in regard to forthcoming
rates, the Great Northern official vouch-
safng the interview given above, said:
II happen to know that Mr.. Miller is not
prepared to make any statement at this
time. He will simply give you a grand
smile, and he has one of the greatest
smiles in the country. You will have to
wait to get the information you want."
Asked if the above interview could be-
used for publication, the newspaper mans
obliging entertainer said:

keep my name out of it, because have
not time to talk with all Of the newspaper
men of the country, as 1 would have to IL

Gov. Taft Is Expected to Give the
Administration Eye-Openers Re-
garding the Philippines.
Nes0 York S,ss. SpectaE .Servioe


Manila, Dec. Ex-Governor Taft sailed
yesterday for the United States. He will
upon his arrival at Washington, open the
eyes OF the administration to the real
situation in the archipelago. There will
be many surprises If his complete reports
are published. He will minutely describe
the conditions prevailing here, the prog
ress OF pacifcation and the civil estab-
lshment and the relations between the
military and civil authorities, which are
necessarily harmonious between chiefs
but frequently conflicting with the nro-
V1nclal subordinates, notably the COVER
nors. The military commanders do not
appreciate the Importance Of maintaining
friendly relations with the governors. It
IS useless to deny that the Philinnina
commission and General Chaffee differ as
10 the extent Of pacifcation and the
necessity for maintaining the various gar
rlsons. Both realize their mutual de-
pendence, but the civil authorities feel
CneC tne presence or soldiers in many To-
cal1tles is detri rimental to peace and harm
ful both to the soldiers and natives. Prior
to his departure Governor Taft said.
Inc sooner the soldiers are withdrawn from
the larger towns of the provinces. where civil
government has been established and concen-
trated in few large garrsons, where thew

larry insures the public safety which was first
guaranteed by the army, and when the con-
staoulary reaches its full strength within 4

zO,OOO men. The civil government was never
so well organized as at present, and I was
never so hopeful. The attitude of the Fill
pinos generally is one Of loyalty. Progress
has been made in nearly every province The
recent municipal elections promise success for

CHEER OF CHRISTMAS
WHITE HOUSE CHILDREN HAPPY
The Poor People of New York Re-
membered as They Never
Were Before.

Washington, Dec. 25-Washington has
seldom celebrated Christmas more quietly
than to-day. Owing to the police regu-
lations there were no noisy demonstra-
tlons on the street. The departments
were all closed, the chief officials, gen
orally speraling the day with their re-
spective faslilies.
The White House was closed to the
public and large portion of the clerical
force was excused for the day. The presi-
dent put in much of the time in the resi-
de9ce part Of the building giving his prin-
cipal attention to the children of the
household who were the recipients of
many presents from their parents and
others. The smaller members generally
hung their stockings up last night and all
found, upon awakening, that Santa Claus
had been astir ahead Of them and had left
liberal contributions. Later in the day
all assembled in the family room, where
the general exchange of presents occurred
and where jolly hour was spent. The
family dinner will take place at 7:30 to-
night at the residence of Commander
Cowles.
New York, Dec. 25.-The distribution of
charity throughout the city of New York
was conducted to-day on larger scale
than ever before. The greatest evidence
OF this was found at Madison Square Gar
den, where 1900 uncooked dinners were
distributed before moon and 5000 were
served cooked at noon by the Salvation
Army. Second in size was the Bowery
dinner, given to 5000 from the lodging
houses. In addition to this every chari-
table organization in the city distributed
Christmas cheer to many thousands.
Berlin, Dec. 25.-At the Christmas eve
celebration by Emperor William at the
new palace at Potsdam all the kaiser's
children were present except Prince Adel-
bert, who is in the Mediterranean. Nine
Christmas trees Of graduated sizes were
placed in the Mushcelsaals, the largest be-
ing the emperor's. An enormous cake of
gingerbread was presented to the kaiser
by a deputation of the First Foot Guards.
Canton, Ohio, Dec. 25 = Mrs. MCKINLEY
spent Christmas day alone at her home.
She was urged to join the Barber family
in their Christmas dinner at the old Sex
ton homestead, but declined to do so. She
did not wish to be so forcibly reminded
of the Christmas days Of the past as she
would be by such dinner. Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition is as good or better than
it has been since the tragedy. Relatives
who see her most often state she shows
gradual Improvement. She remembered
many Of her friends with little Christmas
presents to-day, and she received flowers
and presents from all over the country.

MACLAY OUT OF 1T
Admiral SchIey's Defamer Removed
at the Presidents Instance.


Washington, Dec 25.-Secretary Long
has discharged Edgar Stanton Maclay.
the naval historian, from his position as
special laborer in the BROOKLYN d: -.
yard, Mr.. Maclay having refused to re-
sign when requested to do so. Secretary
Longs action was taken by direction of
the president and followed a conference
between the president and the secretary
who tooks to the White House with him
letter from Maclay in response to the
request for his resignation sent by the
secretary last Saturday. In this letter
Maclay submitted that he could not be-
removed or be compelled to resign with
out definite charges being made against
him and without having an opportunity
to answer those charges.
Although the civil service rules give
employees of the public service the op-
portunity of answering charges that may
be preferred against them, the president
exercised his prerogative in the present
instance and directed Maclay's removal
it being held that the latter was aware
unofhcially, if not officially, of the rea-
sons which actuated the course deter
mined upon. Secretary Long said this
action would dispose of the case finally.
New York, Dec. 25.-When seen at his
home and informed of his dismissal from
MS position in the navy yard by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Mr.. Maclay said:
