LONDON PAPER SAYS THE CON-
BINATION AGREEMENT CON-
TAiNs SECRET CLAUSES ABOUT
FOREIGN-BUILT VESSELS.

London, April 24-The Daily Mail this
afternoon affirms that the agreement of
the Atlantic shipping combination con-
tains secret clauses to the effect that the
American promoters of the concern in
tend to ask Congress to pass a new
vessels to be brought under the American
flag. The adhesion of the Cunard Line
is practically certain, continues the Daily
Mail. and the corporation will be formed
mainly with American capital. 1t will
take over the entire British shipping
companies. Those companies refusing to
join the combine will be compelled to
fight for their existence. For the three
or four years that the present admiralty
contracts still have to run, the paper
adds, the vessels will remain under the
British flag. At the expiration of this
time all will pass under the American
flag, and be owned and run by the above
mentioned corporation, which will event
ually endeavor to carry its competition
to every portion of the globe.
The Daily Express declares the Ship
ping combination is trying to coerce
Canada INTO accepting it's terms and con-
dit.ons as to emigration rates and traf-
fic and that If resistance is made, the
combination will buy up the Canadian
Pacific Railway and declare a CONNER
cial war. 1t is the intention of the COM
bination, says the Daily Express, to de-
mend that the Canadian emigration de-
partment in London should cease to give
facilities to Elder, Dempster e. Co.

OPINION ABOUT SIGNATURES

New York. April 24-The contest over
the estate of William Marsh Rice was
continued today before Surrogate Fitz-

writing expert, under ross-examination.
Gould anything change your opinion
as to the signe lures to the will Of 1902
he was asked.
Nothing said Mr.. Osborne, emphati-
cally. He had previously testified that in
his opinion the signatures were forgeries.
"If two very reliable witnesses were
produced and testified that they saw Mr.
Rice sign that will, what would you say?"
81 would say that they were either
lying or that they were mistaken"
The witness said there were II distinct
ways of tracing signature and that In
the several hundred genuine signatures
of Mr.. Rice there were no two so-closely
alike as the four signatures to the dis
puted will.
William Raphael of Houston, Tex. sec
retary of the Rice Institute, was examin-
ed with reference to the gift received
from Mr.. Rice by the institute during the
millionaire's life time.

Senator Money said tonight that he had
been riding on the line twenty-seven win

had ever had. He had been very friendly
with the employees of the road and always
had been solicitous about their welfare

to their benefit. When he left the loop

his hand to the conductor on the other
car, indicating that it was all right. He
declared there were three separate and
distinct assaults committed on him. He
drew his knife, he said. to protect him
self, but not until he had been eJected
from the car, and then not until after
the conductor had continued to attempt
to assault him after the ejectment Fore

assisting in the first assault.

my wrist to prevent me from cutting at
the conductor, as he thought, but no one
prevented the conductor from striking me
a heavy blow over the heart. The blow
constituted the second assault, and the
third was committed when the conductor
reached over Policeman Murphy's shoul-
der and slapped me on the jaw with ms
bloody hand. The policeman did not try
to prevent the blow. After the aiterca,

RICHARDSON WILL
CONTINUE HIS FIGHT.

Washington. April 4.-(SpeciaI) REP
resentative Richardson of Tennessee to-
day announced his intention of pushing
his resolution demanding an investga-
tion of alleged beef trust before the ways
and means committee of the House It
is expected that he will be assisted not
only by members of his own party, but
by some of the leading Republicans, as
we'll 'I am satisfied" said Mr. Rich
ardson, that there is some way of get
ting at this beef trust. If 1t cannot be
reached under the present laws, there Is
no reason why we should not enact legis-
lation that will dissolve so rapacious and
oppressive a combination"
So far as the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative McDermott of New Jersey, pro-
viding for the removal of the tariff on
beef Is concerned there is little likeli-
hood that 1t will be seriously considered,
as 1t would receive little Republican sup
port. Mr. McDermott's bill, however, is
believed to be step in the right direction
as the protective tariff has doubtless had
much to do with the present prices.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1902-04-25


NAS General Knox today made the
n following statement regarding
the so-caled beef trust:
''on April this department directed
w A. Day, Esq, of Washington, in his
capacity as special assistant to the at
torney general, to examine into as far
as practicable, the public charges to the
effect that a combination of the large
meat dealers of the United States had
been effected contrary to the provisions
of the laws of the United States This
preliminary examination resulted in in
structions to Mr.. Hay and Mr.. Bethea,
United States attorney at Chicago, on
April 7, to prosecute simultaneously in
Chicago and the east a more particular
examination into the allegations and
proofs alleged to exist In support thereof
From their reports l am satisfied that
sufficient evidence is in hand upon which
bills in equity for an injunction can be
framed to restrain the combination men
toned from further proceedings under
their agreements which clearly appear
to be in restraint Of interstate trade.

OLEO BILL IN CONFERENCE
Senator Rawins Concludes His Speech
On the Philippine Bill and Pre-
diets Whiriwind of Misfor-
tunes Under Policy.

Washington, April 24.-The House to-
day sent the oleomargarine bill to con-
ference after agreeing to the Senate
amendments with some notifications
suggested by the agricultural commit
tee
The opponents of the measure offered a
number of amendments, the principal one
OF which was designed to place renovat-
ed butter on the same footing with oIeo-
margarine, but they were overwhelming-
ly voted down. Mr.. Fox, Mississippi.
made an exhaustive speech in defense
OF the suffrage clause of the Mississippi
constitution. He argued that Mississippi
had done the wise and patriotic thing
and deserved the commendation Of ths
country. If she had incurred the penalty
of reduced representation IN Congress.
he said, Mississippi would take her
medicine before she would surrender her
civilization.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Fox's remarks
Inc House at sos p. m adjourned.
THE SENATE.
Washington, April 24.-Just before the
Senate adjourned today Mr. Rawllns of
Utah concluded his speech in opposition
to the Philippine government bill He was
particularly severe in his denunciation of
General Chaffee for the orders he had Is
sued In carrying out the policy of the
government
In the course of an eloquent and i'm
passioned peroration Mr.. Rawlins de-
clared that If the United States govern
ment should continue in the enforcement
of its present policy in the Philippines it
would reap a whirlwind of misfortunes
and disasters. He received congratula-
tions from many Senators when he had
concluded.
The Senate then passed forty-three prt-
vate pension bills.
At 1855 o'clock the Senate adjourned
