city Rev George II. Buckley read a pa

of Prof Charles w. Pearson, of North
western university, who recently ques-
toned the truth of miracles mentioned in
the Bible. A general discussion ollowed,
resulting in the denunciatfon of several

theological seminaries.

motion that the state be required to place

present in the Prescott on the evening of
the shooting, and who heard the CONVEX
sation in which March is said to have
used offensive language toward West,
and to avoid which West left the place
for the Dacotah and was followed by
March. The court stated that the mat
ter would be decided when the state S
other evidence was all in, as it could then
be determined whether or not this testi-
mony was material.
The cross examination CT w B. Wood

vary from his testimony given on Satur-
day in any of it's general features, but
he was kept busy for several hours try

MERRIAM HAVING
A MERRY TIME
DISCHARGED CENSUS CLERKS MAXI
IN GIIFE A BURDEN
Senators and congressman Are Ba~
ing Chased to the Front in -
Vain Effort to Save jobs
for Constituents.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
washington. II. C.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 27.-Census
Director Merriam is having the warmest
time in his political career. He IS trying
to lay off employees in his department,
but the clerks decline to be laid off, and
every other day about sixty of them get
after their senator's and representatives
and beg them to go to the front and keep
them in their jobs. The director turns
them down rcmorselessly and then they
get hot.
Some say he is playing favorites, and
that clerks with strong pulls are Kept In
service and will be retained in the per-
manent bureau when congress passes the
bill to make the department permanent,
if it does. Every man or woman who Is
laid off is begging for reinstatement just
long enough to be included in the perma-
nent force and perhaps transferred to
some other department.
Disgruntled members are threatening
Merriam with removal, and it is announc-
ed that a score of them expect to march
in parade to the White house aud de-
mand his deeapitation; but after all
man up q tree sees that this is just a
grand-stand business for the sake Of
vote-getting in disericts OF members
whose favorites have to walk the plank.

DEMOCRATS PROTESTING
MINORITY REPORT ON PHILIPPINE
TARIFF BILL
Takes the Ground That 1t Is Uncon-
stitutiOnal to Attempt to Hold
VassaI Pre- 4nees Across
the seas.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Car
mack today submitted minority report
from the committee on the Philippine
tariff bill. 1t says that opposition to the
measure is not based on any mere ques-
ton of revenue or any theory concerning
forms and principles of taxation, but be-
cause the bill violates constitutional
rights and transcends the limits of con-
stitutional power.
The objection Of the minority is to the
whole policy of colonial empire, to the
control by this government of vassaI
provinces, to the spirit of military ag-
erosion and of war for the sake OF
spoils. The report says that the bill re-
ported by majority of the committee is
Characteristic manifestation of such a
policy and spirit.

who had articles in the burning block
that were destined for outside points,
and they manifested their anxiety by
rushing madIy around and making in
quiries.
The burning building presented a
picturesque sight until the flames were
put out. The walls of the structure were
apparently uninjured from the outside
and were soon covered with a mass of
gigantic icicles that hung down many
feet. The whole side of the building was
after short time covered and reflected
the flames in all the tints of the spectrum
suggesting a miniature aurora borealis.
When the flames were at their fiercest
they Illuminated the entire lower section
of the town. The roof of the building
was composed principally of tarred ma
teriaI of so combustible a nature that
water had no effect upon it.
The fire for a time was confined in the
building and a dense volume of smoke
poured out on the Jackson street side
making it almost impossible for the fire
men to raise their extension ladders to
any effect. Time after time a fireman
essayed to climb in the face of the smoke
only to be driven again 10 the ground.
Failing in this, all attention was direct
ed to the rear of the building, where
there is a narrow alley with nearly a
solid roof Of wires, many of which were
insulated. The insulation took fire and
the heat coming from the building caused
them to swing back and forth. The
water froZe on them after a short time
and these that were not burning bore
long icicles that enhanced the beauty of
the scene but made 1t more difficult for
the firemen to work.
Kept Fire From Spreading.
It looked as if the sommers supply
house and the Rothschild building were
doomed, but the firemen from the latter
managed to hold it in check and keep 1t
from spreading. The Rothschild building
is low one, and allowed the firemen to
place the water accurately from the roof
There was no person hurt and no mar
row escapes from danger. The tiremen
were at their best all the time When
the flames had died out the spectacular
feature of the eXent disappeared and
the scene was one of almost complete
darkness, in which nothing was per-
ceptible except a mass of spray which
fell and froze Immediately. The lights in
the neighborhood of the block were cut
off, and save for few fitful CLEANS
from the upper story of the block, as
some flames took new life, nothing was
visible. From all sides there came. a
stream of people either running or walk
ing as fast as possible, only to collide
with the ropes that mad been stretched
across Jackson and Fourth streets.
This is the second time the Davidson
block has burned. In March 1879 it was
completely Quilted, only the walls stand
ing. 1t was rebuilt soon after the fire
and an addition made to it later At the
time of its first destruction it was oc-
| cupied by Auerbach, Finch & Culbertson
The Davidson estate relinquished the
| ownership of the block about four years
ago, when it became the property of
the Mutual Life Insurance company, of
Milwaukee. H. and Val J. Rothschild are

RIGHT OF THE STATE
ASSERTED BY DOUGLAS.

The right of a state to invoke the jur-
isdiction of this court to protect its prop
erty and individual rights and interests
in an action against citizens of sister
states has long been recognized. The
state Of Minnesota owns upward Of g.
100000 acres of land within its
limits, which is near to, or in
the territory alone traversed by
the two railways in question; and the
state is dependent almost entirely upon
those roads for the development of this
land and the furnishing of transportation

For the State
Atty. Gen. Douglas,
M. d. Mum.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. G.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. q. = The
supreme court today heard arguments on
the question of jurisdiction in the case
which Attorney General Douglas and
others are attempting to bring against
the Northern Securities company. It will
consider the matter for several weeks be
fore determining whether to permit the
bill to be filed. The railroads were rep
resented by ex-Attorney General John w
Griggs, of New Jersey, and w. B. Guth-
RE, Of New York.
If anything can be inferred from the
questions asked by the justices the court
is not at all certain to permit the bill to
he filed. Justices White and Brown both
asked frequently why the petitioners dtd
not go to the state courts and make use
Of the same processes there The reply OF
Attorney General Douglas was that 1t was
not possible to set service on defendants
in Minnesota, but Attorney Mum an
swered differently. He said they wanted
the moral effect of adverse action by the
supreme court, at which frank admis-
sion the counsel for the Northern Securi-
ties company smiled broadly.
The lawyers from Minnesota left for
home tonight. They declined to say for
publication anything more than that they
were hopeful, but their manner and pri-
vale speech belied that statement.
Chief Justice Fuller announced that the
argument upon this motion would be
heard later in the day, as soon as the
hearing in the case under considera ton
could be completed.
When the preceding case had been COM
pleted Attorney General Douglas was
recognized to make his argument in sup
port of the motion for leave to file his
bill Of complaint
Mr.. Douglas made the following points
in support of she right of the state to
file an original suit in this court:
The complaint bases its request for
leave to file and present its bill of COM
plant upon section 2, article III, of the
Constitution of the United States, which
grants original jurisdiction to this court
in all controversies between states and
relating thereto-section 687 ct seq. Re-
vised Statutes of the United States.

Prohibition Work In the South.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. Prohibi-
ton has been boon to the negroes OF
the South and has done much for the
comfort and welfare of the white popu-
lation, - said j $ Billups of Columbus,
Miss. this evening "Two-thirds of
the counties in Mississippi are now dry
and people who lived in these counties
when they had open saloons can testify
to the good the local option law has
done.
Liquor was especially demoralizing
to the negro population of Mississippi
When saloons existed, both the working
men and their employers were in bad
way. II was almost impossible to keep
help, and many of the families were
destitute because Of drunkenness.
MEN who were in rags in the days
of the saloon are now prosperous.
There ia less disorder and crime, and
conties, which are now free of saloons
could not be persuaded to license the
liquor traffic. In Mississippi prohibition
is In no sense party issue. Men Of all
political faiths advocate 1t and keep It
above party divisions. -

JACKSON, Miss. Sept. %. Good pro-
gress has been made with the picking
of the cotton, crop in Mississippi during
the last week and the staple is being
rushed to market almost as fast rs it
can be ginned.
In contrast to former years, there is
no disposition among planters to hold
back the crop in anticipation of higher
prices. Some of the large planters, es-
pecially in the delta, will, of course,
market their crop slowly, but the aver
age farmer is getting rid of the product
Immediately after it is placed in mar
ketable shape, and they are apparently
satisfied with the prices being secured.
The labor famine continues in many
sections of the state, and fancy wages
are being offered for good pickers. In
one delta county Italians are being i'm
ported to pick the crop, but their services
are not very satisfactory on account OF
unfamiliarity with the work.
The bulk of the crop will be out of
the fields before Christmas and in many
counties the entire crop will be picked
by the latter part of November.

merely in accordance with the rules OF
the bureau. Notice will be given the
other passenger association of the action
taken and it is expected that they will
accept the basis rendered.
Following the Inauguration of this
plan of low rates, it is the general opin-
ion that the colonization territory will
spread to the West and to The Southeast.
The Mississippi lines to the gulf, includ-
| ing the Southern. the Mobile q Ohio,
the Louisville & Nashville and the
Illinois Central will probably adopt the
same rates and dates for excursions.
All of the roads OF the Southwest which
do not now operate tourist sleepers will
place orders and be in readiness for the
first of the excursions next month.
G. M. Pratt, chairman of the South
western Passenger Bureau, will at once
promulgate notice of the action taken
at the conference. The details o. the
plan adopted were made up from a re-
port submitted by committee composed
of John Sebastian, passenger traffic
manager of the Rock Island, and Bryan
Snyder, passenger traffic manager of
the Frisco.
The success of the movement Is as
sured by the announcement Of the repre-
sentatives Of majority Of lines, that il
case of dissenting voIc on the fina
vote for the colonization scheme, they
will individually make the rates recon-
mended.

No Large Navy Needed.

When Senator James X. Jones was
asked at Washington the other day if
he agreed with President Roosevelt s
recent utterance that great navy was
needed to enforce the Monroe doctrine,
he replied; 1.-THE Monroe doctrine
would have been taken up and defended
physically in case there was necessity
for 1t. 1t was not intended as mere
moral declaration. The purpose of the
United States ever since the doctrince
was framed, and long before that, |
suppose, was to prevent the interference
of the European nations in the affairs
on this side of the ocean. do not be-
lieve there is any necessity for building

Mr.. BOirs and Tariff Revision.


From the 81 LOUIS hepupHc
Former Governor Boies of Iowa takes
so sound n position on the issue OF tariff
revision as to make it well-nigh certain
that he will be returned to congress In
the place of Speaker Henderson, the
present Republican representative OF
the district in which Mr.. Boies is the
Democratic candidate.
The Democratic policy of tariff fol-
revenue only gives Mr.. Boies his plat
form. In his letter of acceptance OF the
Democratic nomination for congress,
issu edon Monday of this week, he says
to the voters of the Third Iowa district
Il shall take my station on tariff re-
vision, not advocating free trade IN the
full sense this term conveys, but radical
changes in many of the present sched'
niles. propose this MS relief from the
trusts which are crushing Iowa
This is consistent Democracy, and in
the return of Democratic majority to
congress and the placing of the Demo
cratic party in control in the govern
ment lies the only hope Of an honest
tariff revision that will remedy the evil
which exists in the trust system. The
Republican party is too utterly under
the domination of the trusts to be capa-

Speaker Henderson, himself among
the most resolute advocates of high
tariff, has withdrawn from the congress

because he fears defeat Mt the polls,
knowing the strength Of the tariff revis-
ion sentiment in that district. Mr..
