GRATIFYING STATEMENT.
Letter From General Chaffee Regard.

ing Philippine Conditions.
Washington, Jan. 29.-At the cabi-
net meeting Secretary Root read a
private letter from General Chaffee
Which denied the report of friction be-
tween the military and civil authori-
ties in the Philippines and gave very
encouraging resume of the situation.
His statement was considered very
gratifying by the president and the
members Of the cabinet.
The discussion in the senate Monday
concerning General Wheaton came up
incidentally and Secretary Root read
General Wheaton's record, which
showed that he had enlisted in the vol
unteer army at the beginning of the
Civil war and after gallant service at
the close of the war had been appoint.
ed to the regular army in which he had
risen through each successive grade to
the rank of major general.
Postmaster General Payne talked
briefly about the progress of the new

ton but satisfactory progress is being

NOT GENUINE CIVILIZATION.
Carnegie Condemns Killing Of Men
Under the Name of War.

Carnegie Condemns Killing Of Men
Under the Name Of War.
New York, Jan. 29.-"The killing of
men under the name of war;" wrote
Andrew Carnegie in letter which was
read at the P. F. Collier dinner at the
Metropolitan club, lis the foulest blot
upon humanity today. We see much
discussion as to what is or what is not
permissible under civilized warfare.
My view is that this is contradiction
OF terms. There can be no such thing
as civilized warfare. We have made
little progress in the path of genuine
civilization as long as we can find no
better substitute for the settling of in
ternational disputes than the brutal
murder of one another. AS a general
proposition it may be stated that the
nation which refuses peaceful arbitra-
tlon is responsible for the war which
ensues. Britain, having done this in
its dispute with the Transvaal repub-
lie, is responsible for the extermina-
tion Of brave and heroic Christian
people.
But let us also remember that we
are today engaged in shooting down
Christian Filipinos whose only crime
is that they believe in the declaration
of independence. Sad that both
branches of the so-called most highly
civilized race should be guilty of the
most uncivilized crimes. Let us all
pray that this disgrace is soon to pass
away"

In pursuance of the individual an

TRUSTS ARE At War
Curious State of Affairs Prevails in
Chicago as Result Of Trust
Squabble.
Big Down Town Buildings Refused
Coal in Cold Weather Because
not Used is Warm.
Members of the Teamsters Union are
Assisting the Coal Combine in
= the Fight.

Chicago, JAN 29.-The severe wealth
er is still in evidence and at daylight
the temperature was degrees below
zero. ,.
Coal teamsters have renewed their
war on big down town buildings. The
coal teamsters' union decided that its
members should cart no coal to build
ings where gas is used during the sum
mer months. @
At o'clock 100 drivers were order
ed to stop by officials of the union and
promptly obeyed the order. President
Albert Young of the Coal Teamsters'
union said:
s'We have had to stop hauling coal
to the Old Colony building, the Mon
adanock, the Palmer House and the
Auditorium. Our men are being called
off other buildings as quickly as we
can get to them and before night not
a union teamster will be hauling coal
to buildings that use gas for fuel dur
ing the summer.
During the last cold snap our men
we're worked to death. Buildings that
had formerly used fuel gas found out
ti1C SOhi was ACSVoooAy c1uu Jul hOA
had to work night and day and at that
were unable to meet the demand.
Many of the regular coal burners were
compelled to wait for coal and suffered
greatly on account of our inability to
supply the demand"
Rumor has it that the refusal of the
teamsters' union to haul coal to build
ings where gas is used is a clever
! move of the so-called coal trust against,
the gas trust. It was announced def
! nitely that the coal combine was be-
! hind the teamsters and had pledged
its support. Milton Booth, secretary
of the teamsters' union, said:
I'VE are not in the fight alone but
have the support of the coal men. We
would have conducted the campaign
alone if it had been necessary but
with the aid of our employers we are
in a much better position to conduct:
the fight and it will be lively one.'
After the teamsters' boycott against
the skyscrapers had been in effect four
hours dremen, engineers and elevator
conductors threatened to cooperate
with the teamsters. By noon. how
ever, meeting of prominent coal
dealers and property owners was held
and truce was declared until Friday.
In the meantime union men hope to
influence the consumers to burn coal
the year round.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Tha senate
has passed the bill establishing a de-
partment of commerce, after adopting
an amendment providing that the new

department of commerce and labor.

thordzing the committee on Philippines

providing that the committee on print
ing consider the expediency of print
ing a special edition of The Congress
sional Record for sale to the general
public at 81 for the long session and 81
for the short session. He said that
some action ought to be taken by con-
gress to insure to the general public
more complete information as to the
doings in congress. The resolution
was adopted.
Consideration of the bill to establish
department of commerce then was
resumed, the pending amendment be-
ing that of Mr.. Pettus providing that
the department of labor should not be
made part of the proposed new de-
partment:
After a brief discussion the amend
ment was rejected 19 to 33.
Mr.. Bacon then offered an amend
ment providing that the name of the
new department should be the depart
ment of commerce and labor,
Mr.. Nelson, in charge of the bill
agreed to the amendment and it was
adopted.
Mr.. Hale withdrew his amendment
offered a few days ago transferring

convinced, he said, since Offering the
amendment that such a transfer would
destroy the functions of the commits
sion.
No other amendments beng offered
the bill was reported from the commit
tee of the whole to the senate.
Mr.. Quarles demanded a separate
vote on the amendment by which the
census bureau was stricken from the
bill as a part of the new department.
BY vote of s to 50 the census bu-
reau was retained in the measure as
one of the bureaus of the new de-
partment.
The bill was then passed,
