SECRET INVESTIGATION
ON THE BEEF TRUST
Attorney General Writes to
Representative Ray.
House Committee on Judiciary Investi-
eating the Observation-Disclosures at
the Department of Justice.

Attorney General Knox yesterday sent a
Trust to Representative Ray, chairman Of
the Committee on Judiciary. Neither the
Attorney General nor Representative Ray
would make the contents of the note pub
lie.
Representative Ray received the letter
early yesterday morning. A consultation
was held. after which Mr.. Ray left the
Capitol and paid a personal visit to the
Attorney General. He consulted with Mr..
Kncx with view toward learning what
action the latter has taken, or contem-
plates taking, TO prosecute the Beef
Trust.
Action on the resolution of Representa-
tive Thayer of Massachusetts calling on
the Attorney General to inform the House
upon this matter is expected within the
next few days. Representative Thayer is
willing tc wait 4 reasonable length of
time for the Committee on Judiciary to
act before bringing the question to the
attention of the House.
Representative Ray, as chairman of the
committee, communicated with the At
torney General in regard to this question
on Saturday His letter was answered
promptly.
At the Department of Justice yesterday
morning it was stated that the letter
could not be made public then. Repre-
sentative Ray also would not make public
its contents.
1t was learned yesterday that Attorney
General Knox some days ago instructed
1ne of the United States district attor-
neys in a Western State to make an in
vestigation into the widely circulated re-
ports that the so-called beef trust is
violating the Federal statutes.
The name of the district attorney could
not be learned, but the report from Kan
sas City yesterday in this connection is
speciically denied. 1t is desired to keep
secret the place where the investigation Is
Going on, in order that the inquiry may
proceed without ,encOuntering obstacles
which might otherwise be placed in the
way.
The object of the present proceedings
~ the Department of Justice is merely
o learn whether the beef interests are
violating the antitrust law, as has been
harged
The report of the district attorney who
..as directed to make the inquiry has not
set been received.

END OF CUBAN DEBATE
NOT YET IN SIGHT
INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL
Two Advocates of Corliss Measure Heard
Before House Committee.

Mr. r. s. Lyon. of the Chicago Board of
Trade. and Mr. T. w. Tomlinson, of the
Chicago Live Stock Exchange, were be-
fore the House Committee on Commerce
yesterday in advocacy of the Corliss
interstate commerce bill.
Mr.. Lyon said that the railroads in cut
ting rates diverted grain from its natural
channels of shipment. Mr.. Lyon was ask
ed by Chairman Hepburn regarding the
rate cutting and said very emphaticaliy
that the railroads made secret comblna-
lions, regulating rates and cutting them
to suit themselves. irrespective of any
interests shippers might have in such
matters.
This has been their practice for long
time he said. long before the Inter
state Commerce Commission was formed
and ever since it's inception. If they were
penalized for such violations and fined
heavily ii might put an end TO tine prac-
lice"
Mr.. Tomlinson made a protest against
the discrimination which the railroads
made between live stock and the dressed
product. In some instances. he said. fresh
meats were carried at less than cost. and
this made an added burden upon other
shippers who were charged enough to
make up the difference.
He thought the rates on grain and
fresh meats were too low. In shipping
fresh meats from st. Paul to the seaboard
the rate west of Chicago was only one
half of what was charged east OF that
point.

PRIVATE SOLDIERS
DESCRIBE WATER CURE

struggled to get free from those who held
him as though he was in pain
Chairman Lodge read from a statement
giving a list of cruelties practiced by ma
tives upon American soldiers. The wit
ness said that he knew of his own knowl-
edge of American soldiers being buried
alive, mutilated. partially burned, and
then slashed up by the natives.
Asked the question as to the general
attitude OF the American soldiers to the
natives. he said it was kind; only when
they were under the influence of liquor
did the soldiers illtreat the Filipinos.
Sometimes they were punished for II.
and sometimes they were not. When a
soldier was found at fault he was usually
punished.
The second witness. Smith, who was sta
toned at Icbarras, was then called, ana
testified to the same circumstances. lie
said the presidente was about torty-hVe
years old During the administration OF
the cure. DR.. Lyons was present all of the
time to see that it was not carried too
far
THE water cure does not injure any
one; that is. al the time after the water
has been forced out" said the witness.
AS to the after effects, l cannot say pos
itively. The victim in this case was not
hurt After the treatment was over he
went with US on horseback into the noun
tains as a guide to show US where the in
surgents were"
That same evening" he continued, tho
water detail consisting of Lieutenant
Conger and Dr.. Lyons gave the cure tc
two Of the native policemen under the
water tank These men then confessed
that the police had all sworn aliegianc,
to the presidente, and were to attack th
soldiers stationed in that town when he
told them TO do SO"
AS for the burning of the town he sald
in answer TO Mr. Rawlns, that the houses
were bamboo and nipa huts. with no fur
niture to speak of in them. and that ample
warning was given the inhabitants to es
cape. No lives were lost. The fire Wa'
started about o'clock in the evening. and
the whole town was burned by midnight.

DEFEAT ANTICIPATED
FOR CHINESE BILL
Drastic Feafuses Find
D1sfaUoz in Senate.

The drastic features of the
pending Chinese exclusion bill
appear to find disfavor in the
Senate, although the exclusion
of Chinese labOrers is general
~ accepted as IA necessary
measure.
Arguments against the meas
IRE on economic grounds are
to the effect that not only the
resentment of the Chinese will
interrupt the development of
the Oriental trade, but that the
exclusion of Chinese merchants
will strangle the markets al
ready established.
1t is also asserted by the
opponents of the measure that
the exclusion of classes other
than iaborers is in violation of
treaty rights.

MINORITY OBJECT TO
GAS STOCK INCREASE
Criticism of Minority on
Plan TO MczeaSe Gas Stock

I'VE assert that the pro
posed consolidation is a sub
terfuge, and that the primary
object the company has in view
is TO get out so large an amount
of stock that the dividends on
it Will be comparatively small
and Congress may thereby be
prevented from reducing the
price of gas or purchasing the
works.
And we further assert =
that, should this bill become a
law. and the company be per
miltcd to increase its capital
stock to SIS. $4,000, at least 80
per cent of such stock will be

franchise Congress has granted

The latter based his claim upon the
ground that such an allowance is given
a brigadier general of the army, and that
by section of the navy personnel act of
March ,. 1899. he is entitled to the same
allowance.
In passing on the question. which Mr..

No Distinction.
while in the performance of his ordi-
nary official duties at his office in Wash
ington, except in matters Of public mill
tary occasions, it is difficult to see any
substantial reason for making a dstinc-
ton with respect to forage between him
and the Surgeon General of the Navy, who
owns and actually keeps horses in the
performance of his duties. 1t would seem
that horses are about as necessary for the
Surgeon General of the Navy as for the
Surgeon General OF the Army in the cf-
ficient performance of his official duties
in Washington, except on public military
occasions, when the Surgeon General of
the Army is mounted.
When the act of March g. 1899, was
passed. Congress knew that the practice
was to allow the Surgeon General of the
Army forage, when he owned and actually
kept horses in the performance of his
duties in Washington, and it would seOm
that 1t intended by said act that the Sur
geon General of the Navy should receive
forage under the same conditions.
Not Ambiguous.
THE language of section I. so far as
the subject under consideration is con-
cerned. is not ambiguous, and applying
the rules of construction above laid down
by the courts, | am of opinion. and so de-
eide, that if Surgeon General Rixey owns
and actually keeps horses, not exceeding
three, in the performance of his official
duties, he should receive forage. Since he
is entitled to this allowance under the
conditions above stated. it is lawful to
purchase the same for issue to him. the
cost to be charged to the appropriation
for pay and allowances of officers of the
navy"

GOVERNOR DOLE TESTiFIES.
Urges Correction of Conditions in the Ha-

Governor Dole of Hawaii appeared be-
fore the Senate Committee on Pacific Is
lands yesterday to urge action on the
Senate bill correcting the conditions now
existing in the Hawaiian Senate, which al
lows the terms of all senators to expire
simultaneously. He also opposed. the
House bill granting certain concessions
to the Hawaiian Ditch Company. He was
supported in his argument by Senator
George R. Carter, of Hawaii. who has
come to Washington at the request OF the
President to discuss conditions of Hawaii.
Governor Dole and Senator Carter were
opposed by the Hawaiian Delegate. Mr..
Wilcox. and by Edgar C. Capless. clerk
of the Hawaiian Senate. 1t was expected
that they would discuss Hawaiian poll
teal affairs, which are said to be very
much at skies and sevens. but the commit
tee was spared this ordeal Governor
Dole will appear before the House Com
mittee on Territories this week.
