Bishop Potter has sent a communication to the

from Ernest F. FenOlIoss who has spent MANY
years in Japan. in which the writer indorses the
sentiments expressed by the Bishop in lecture de-
hvered last week before the students OF Yale Uni

tan foreigners cupable in the matter OF the re-
cent troubles in China The Bishops letter says in

GREAT WESTERN RAILROAD
COMBINATION PERFECTED

Chicago, June 17.-That the Harri-
man combine has secured control Of
the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul,
and that a composite agreement has
been made to perfect community Of
interests among roads with tracks
enough to twice belt the globe, IL gen.
orally accepted in railroad circles. The
sudden departure Of Mr.. Hartman for
the East, accompanied by John NJ.
Mitchell Of the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings bank, was announced in support
Of the statement that Mr.. Mitchell
and other bankers would furnish the
funds for the completion Of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul transfer.
The meeting Of the western officials
with Hartman is believed to have
been the result of the recent contro-
versy over the control Of Northern Pa
cifc stock, which drove short holders
to cover at $1,000 a share. A few
small roads out Of Chicago are not
parties to the agreement, but 1t Is un-
derstood that they will consent to any
thing that will maintain rates and end
the squabble that has been kept up In
the past among the various western
lines.
II was asserted tonight that all the
roads west, northwest and southwest
from Chicago to the Pacific coast will
be controlled in future by the follow
ing interests:

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

A report said to have been publish
ed In Manila that General Macarthur
was coming home by way Of South
Africa is emphatically denied at the
War Department. Although General
Macarthur could suit himself as to his
route, the cabled report from Manila
that he was to return by way Of Ma
gasaki Is affirmed in the department.
The government has formally COM
municated to the foreign powers the
impossibllity Of joining in a Joint
guarantee for the payment Of the Chi
nese Indemnity. The difficulties In
the way Of such an arrangement are
set forth In the communication, par
ticularly those relating to the consti-
tutional restrictions on the President
In making joint guarantee Of this
character.
Before the industrial commission,
Thomas Turnbull. representing the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce,
testified concerning labor conditions
In California. He said that. generally
speaking, skilled labor receives better
wnges In California than In the east
ern states, where there is no similar
difference In the wages of unskilled
labor. He expressed the opinion that
the cheapness of Chinese labor Is due
almost entirely to the inefficiency Of
the Chinese entirely as laborers.
Speaking Of the Chinese, he said the
sentiment In California was generally
favorable to their prescription, as they
were not desirable acquisitions from
any point Of view.
A few days since Lone Wolf and
twelve or fifteen other Indians, repre-
senting the Kiown, Camanche and
Apache tribes, appeared before the
secretary of the interior and made n
verbal protest against the opening Of
any part Of their lands In Oklahoma
to settlement under the act Of the last
session OF Congress. They were in
troduced by Judge Springer. Several
of them declared that the agreement
for the cession of their lands had not
been secured by legitimate methods.
Judge Springer presented the COM
complaints of the Indians in detail.
Secretary Hitchcock told the Indians
that he had received them only as n
matter of courtesy. and that under no
circumstances could he consider their
presentation while their case was
pending In the courts. 1t Is under
stood that the Indians will not be re-
ceived by the President on account Of
Mrs. McKinley's condition.

GAVIN'S REFORMATION PROVES I
TO BE OF SHORT DURATION

Denver, June 1S-Charles Gavin,
who has n record as safe blower
and professed repentance and religion,
has fallen by the wayside. He reached
Denver last Thursday from Kiowa, El-
bert county, where he was tried on the
charge Of blowing the safe at Elizabeth
last October. He announced to his
friends that he had reformed. He said
he had become Christian and that he
intended to lead pious life. He
added that he was going to try and get
his son John out Of Jail at San Diego,
California. The boy was very bright,
he said, and he had received assurance
from his friends that as soon as he
was released from the prison he would
take a course in the school of mines
at Golden, Colorado. The safe blower
then declared he was going to try and
bring influence to bear to have his
other son, Charles, released from the
penitentiary Mt Canon City, where he
is serving term for robbery.
In kiowa at his trial Gavin was de-
Tended by lawyer sent to represent
him by the women Of Colorado Springs
who had become interested in him
while he was serving n sentence In
jail there. His two companions, Frank
Sherwood and John ConnOr, were con-
victed, but Gavin went free.
As soon as he reached Denver Gavin
visited his wife who lives at No. 600
Wazee street. Later he reported at the
police station, where he Informed the
officials that they need not watch him
MS he had quit drink and become n
Christian through the kindly influence
of women Of Colorado Springs.
All went well for three days. Gavin
maintained himself in Christan-like
manner until last Sunday. Notwith-
standing the fact that it was n ''closed
