In Memory of Davis.

Washington, Jan. l3.-No legislative
business of Importance was transacted by
the senate Saturday. The session was de-
voted to services held in the memory of
the late Senator c. X. Davis of Minnesota.
The long and distinguished services of the
Minnesota senator and the intimate rela-
ton he sustained with his colleagues in the
senate had endeared him to ALL and when
his demise came every member of the body
felt that he had suffered a personal loss.
For many years Senator Davis served
as chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, and in that capacity and in the
capacity of member of the Paris peace
commission, he was intimately identified
with the foreign affairs of the govern.

Recent Railway Deals.

New York, Jan. l5.-The immediate
impelling cause of the rise on Wall street
is the growth of the community OF in,
terest," policy among the railroads. The
purchase of the Pennsylvania Coal com

Central railroad of New Jersey for the
Reading, the appearance of the Erie di-
rectorate in the community of control
interests that have been rivals in the rail
road field in the northwest, and the ac-
quirement of ST. Paul stock by j. j. Hill
of the Great Northern are the concrete
facts from which is inferred a general
adoption OF this policy among railroad
interests.

KICK COMES FROM CHICAGO

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE investiga-

the importatin of Japanese silks has thus
far resulted in the seizure of two invoices
of goods under the provision of the law
that ill goods shall be seized if the value
is advanced more than 80 per cent beyond
the invoice value. At the public stores
the name or names of the consignees
could not be learned, that being a matter
entirely in the discretion of the collector

Collector Phelps, of the law division,

ing fifteen cases shipped direct from
Japan. In only two instances out Of the
fifteen Is the weight of these silks said
to have corresponded with the weight
named in the invoices. 1t was said later
at the custom house that the authorities
there absolved Appraiser Wakeman OF
all blame, as his part in the examination
of these invoices was largly Of a nominal
character. 1t will be necessary before
the collector takes final action to make
a careful analysis of the silk contained
in the fifteen cases, as the import tax
on this class of goods ranges from 80

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Cunard line
steamship Lucania, Capt. Mckay, which
sailed from Liverpool for New York on
Aug. 10, was spoken through the medium
of wireless telegraphy by the Nantucket
l1ghtship shortly after o'clock this even
ing.
The Herald Shore station to which
came the wireless message from the
Hghtship, is located at Siasconset 81
faYorite summer resort on the island Of
Nantucket. On the highest part of the
village, known as Bunker hill. is erected
mast built in three sections, with its
truck rising 165 feet in the air. At its up
per end is a spar known as a spirit or
yard, which carries a vertical wire of the
Marcon1 system $50 feet above the ground.
The instruments which complete the In
stallatlon are located in cottage 100 feet
distant from the base of the mast and
between 1t and the sea an uninterrupted
moorland stretches for mile or more
Forty sea miles away, bearing south. the
Nantucket Hghtship is moored as a safe
guard to vessels crossing the dangerous
shoals OF this veXed area, and as a point
of departure and arrival for vessels cross
ing the Northern Atlantic or coasttng
along the Western seaboard On board
TINS vessel a spar has been fitted to the
original mast. and from the tip of this
1VO rect above the sea plane a wire is
suspended similar to that on shore.
AT the Siasconset wireless telegram
station, the instruments near O'Clock

general way it may be said that the CON

LATEST CROP OF RUMoRs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-A telegram
has been prepared at the navy depart
ment to go forward to the Iowa inmc-
diately upon her arrival at San Fran
CISCO ordering her to prepare at once to
go TO sea When she advises the de-
partment that she is ready an order will
follow for her to proceed to Panama at
once. The little cruiser Ranger, which
IS at San Diego, was ordered to said To-
day It is not believed that there will
be any delay in her departure, as she has
had several days notice in which to pre-
pare for sea She is very slow, now
ever, making not more than six knots
an hour, and as the distance to Panama
is about 200 miles, it would require al
most fifteen days for her to reach her
destination. The department, therefore,
decided to dispatch the Iowa as soon as
the battleship arrives at San Francisco
and can prepare for the trip.
PHILADELPHIA TO BE DOCKED.
The cruiser Philadelphia, which arrived
at San Francisco yesterday from the
Samoan islands, is to go at once into
drydock at the Mare Island yard for
oVerhauling and general repairs. The
navy department has decided that this
vessel should be Immediately placed in
condition in order that she might be
prepared, if occasion arose, to go south
to the scene Of the trouble on the 18th
mus.
The state department is receiving moth
ing additional on the Colon bian-V Venezu-
elan situation except through mail ad-
vices, which throw little new light on the
condition of affairs.
The state department today issued the
following:
The department Of state is advised by
telegram from Mr. Russell, charge
d'ahaires in Venezuela, that the depart
ure of the Colombian minister from Car
acas was voluntary and that he has the
intention Of returning to his post. Mr.
Russell has taken charge of the Colom-
bian legation property and archives dur
ing the minister's absence Mr.. Russell
does not slate that he has assumed
charge of Colombian interests, as he
was authorized to do if requested and
with the assent of the Venezuelan gov
elnment. 1t is inferred that he has
not been asked to do So"
