A Washington dispatch states that
1.-THE demand for oil stoves and stove
wood is nprecedented, and that for
gas ranges is tremendously increased. y
Experiments with peat deposits are
going ON in several states. Let in
ventors give their energies to the fuel
problem and so enable the public to
escape permanently from the coal
sharks, whose schemes have become
an annual infection, and threaten this
winter TO be calamity.

Alder for Senator.

The strained relations of the repub-
licans in Michigan has been relieved
by the appointment of Gen. Russell
A. Alger, by Gov. Bliss to fill the va
cancy made by the death of United
States Senator Mcmillan. This will
give Gen. Alger scat in the senate
until January next whep the legisla-
ture meets to make the selection of
senator in the regular way. Gen. AL
ger has been doing little hustiing
and the fact is pretty well known that
he has the field all to himself for bis
election so that he will be his own
successor for a term of six years.

Some democratic papers make light
of the story that j. Pierpont Morgan
is preparing to take charge of the dem
ocratic party. There would be moth
ing startling about that. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Morgan was
pretty strong with democratic pres
ident seven or eight years ago, and
was thus enabled to drive some pretty
thrifty bond deals.

The cutting of the French cable by
the Venezuelan authorities and the
arrest of the French manager of the
company. and also the French con-
Sular agent, constitute SeriS of
outrages that will. of course, be fol-
lowed by prompt action by the French
government. These outrages are SO
serious that France will hardly be
satisfied with mere apology and
salute To the flag.

Now that Senator Platt's power as
a republican boss in the state of New
York is completely broken, the
democrats have boss who is ruling
his party with hand of iron stronger
than Platt ever possessed. David B.
Hill is the complete master of New
York democrats and all the other
leaders freely submit to his dictation.

What more can republicans do than
promise TO deal justly with the peo-
pie and with the trusts? What
remedy has any democrat to offer any
better than republicans have offered.
The fact is that no man, no party, no
people. no statesmen, know what is
best u do or what can be done. All
anyone, democrat or republican, can
say is-we will study the problem and
solve it when possible.

LUCBAN TAKEN
Most Important Capture in
Philippines Since That
of Aguinaldo.

Washington Feb. 26.-General Chaffee
to-day notified the war department that
Lieutenant Stribler Of the Philippine
scouts, captured General Lucban on the
ED inst. The prisoner is confined at
Laguan.
Another capture is recorded in the same
dispatch, namely that Of William Duns-
ton, said to be deserter from Company
G, Eighth infantry, who had in his pos
session a lot of arms and ammunition and
all of the tools necessary for the making
of ammunition. He was captured by Sec
ond Lieutenant Pratt, First infantry, at
Caghayan, on the Island of Sumar. The
lieutenant also destroyed the Quartet and
the factory and killed eleven soldiders be-
sides capturing all of Dunston's cor
respondence.
The officials of the war department re-
gard the capture Of Lucban as the most
important military event since Aguinal-
dos capture. He was run down in
Samar The place Of his confinement is
a tiny island in a bay on the north coast
of Samar. Lucban is one of the most
energetic and ferocious Of rebels. He is
a halfbreed, mixture of Chinese and
Filipino stock, and he has been irrecon-
cilable from the first. He had various
Businesses in the mountains of Samar from
which he would descend upon the coast
towns and his reign of terror was so
complete that the entire population Of the
island paid tribute to him as the price of
freedom from attack. Ordinary campaign
methods failed in his case, and his cap
ture now is believed to be the natural

ruling in Canadian grain traffic will be
continued. This fact is Of Importance
in calculating the future of Minneapolis
as grain center If the tariff restrictions
be modified or entirely removed. 1t
means that In future years as at present,
Canadian grain producers will appreciate
the opportunity of forwarding their grain
to American terminals and especially tc
such large milling center as Minneap-
oils.
A Continuous Overp1us.
Der of commerce, who has just returned
from Winnipeg, says:
Western Canada is being settled at a rapid
rate. The thousands of farmers who are
taking land in that country this year and the
thousands who will follow in the next ten
years means that the wheat acreage and the
wheat production of Canada will multiply
fast This year the production increased so
greatly over last year that the transporta-
ton facilities of Canada were found to be
inadequate. I believe that the wheat produc-
ton of Canada under ordinary crop condl-
lions will keep in advance of its transporta-
ton and elevator facilities. Consequently
Canadian farmers will appreciate an Ameri-
can outlet for their grain. There is enough
in the situation to encourage Minneapolis
milling and grain interests to begin syste-
matte work for the admission of Canadian
wheat free. It Is to the advantage of the
farmers and business men this side OF
the line that this be done. The twenty-five
cents per bushel duty on Canadian wheat
yields neither revenue nor protection With
the duty removed and portion of Canada s
wheat surplus coming to this country the
farmer and the miller would be relieved of
the present demOraliZing competition OF
Canadian wheat in the worlds markets.

Attorney General Knox Decides Thus
Far in the Case Against the
Northern Securities.
No Question of Jurisdiction Now
Assistant Attorney General Hoyt
Is to Have Charge.

From. The Journal Bureau. Room. 20, Pess
Building, Washington. Il \ -
Washington, Feb. 26.-Attorney General
Knox has finally decided that the suit in
equity to dissolve the Northern Securi-
ties merger will be brought in the United
States district court of Minnesota.
He has also decided that Assistant At
torney General Hoyt shall draw up the
bill Of complaint and shall have general
charge of the prosecution. Hoyt will not,
however, appear before the court until
arguments are begun. When the bill is
prepared it will be forwarded. to District
Attorney Purdy for filing.
Parties to the Suit.
The Northern Securities company and
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
Burlington railway companies will all be
made parties to the suit, so that the OBJ
lection of the supreme court in the state
case against the Securities company may
be overcome.
An Impression appears to have become
general that the supreme court on Mon
day decided that it would have had no
jurisdiction over the case if all these
parties had been made defendants in the
! suit brought by Attornel General Doug
las. The court did not decide that way,
however. 1t declared that il the bill
were amended to meet this objection, the
court would be ousted of original luris-
| diction.
No Question of Jurisdictfon Here.

rangement of Mr.. Knox, as the contem-
! plated action is to be brought under a

BLOCKED
Senate Cannot Do Business
Because of Tillman and
McLaurin.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The senate gal
leries were thronged with spectators
this morning when that body convened.
All were expecting a reopening of the
discussion regarding the status of Sena-
tors Tillnnan and McLaurin of South Caro-
lima, to participate in the proceedings
of the body while under the ban of con
tempt.
Mr.. Foraker (Ohio) said that on ac-
count of the Mckinley memorial exer-
cises in the hall the house at IL o'clock
tomorrow, he moved that when the sem
ate adjourned it be until 11:45 a. M. to-
morrow. The motion was agreed to-.
Mr.. Burrows (Mich.), chairman OF the
committee on elections, said the commit
tee was in the midst of consideration of
an important question decision upon
which had not been reached BY instruc-
ton Of the committee he therefore moved
that the senate adjourn. Without objec-
ton the motion was carried.
The meeting of the senate committee
did not result in supplying any solution
of the difficulty that the senate Is in.
The republican members frankly confessed
that they had not been able to formulate
scheme which would relieve the situa-
ton. This afternoon the committee will
again consider this important question,
which most senators look upon in its
present shape as stumbling block in the
way of all legislation.

Washington, Feb. 26.-At last the
Schley case Is to be taken up in congress.
In spite of the opposition of some of the
warmest friends of Rear Admiral Schley,
who believe the matter should be allowed
to drop, the Maryland delegation in con-
gress has taken the opposite view. A long
conference was held yesterday in the COM
mittee room of Senator McComas. There
were present all the representatives Of
the state in the senate and house with
the exception of Senator Wellington.
For two hours various Plans were dis
cussed to bring the case to the attention
of congress. Allusion was frequently
made to the fact that many sincere friends
of Rear Admiral Schley believe in taking
no further steps, preferring to rest the
case on the manifest verdict of the Amer
lean people, coupled with the expert opin
The opinion of the delegation, however
was that it had not the right to leave
any stone unturned in the effort to dis
| cover way to secure vindication for the
rear admiral.
There have been introduced in the house
! and senate resolutions and bills to ap
point Schley vice admiral, to give hin
| the thanks OF congress, to investigate
| him, to express confidence in him. to re.
store him to the active list and to dc
various other things. All these matters
| have been referred at once to the nava

on the house committee.

Minneapolis millers and grain men will
carry the question of handling Canadian
wheat to Washington: The millers believe
that with some assistance in the way Of
modifying the rules on the milling of i'm
ported wheat the Canadian product can
be handily milled in Minneapolis, this
city's prestige as grain market greatly
increased, and the western farmer re-
lieved of the evil effects of the irregular
competition of Canadian grain in the
markets of the world.
If the millers are permitted to work under
the rules laid down by the government
OF France for the milling of imported
grain, big obstacle in the way Of Ca
madam wheat moving to the Minneapolis
market will have been removed. At the
present time in milling Canadian wheat,
the millers must identify the. -four and
offal for export as the products of a GER
tain shipment of wheat. This requires
much government red tape, trouble, and
the necessity Of waiting a year for the
rebate in duty the miller in the mean
time being out the interest on the lat
ter item.
Modification Or Free Wheat.
To meet the various items of expense,
local millers estimate that to mill Cana
dian wheat profitably ii must be bought
by the miller at cents per bushel less
than the Minnesota grades. The French
government allows its millers to import
and grind foreign wheat without identi-
flying each particular shipment and it's
products. The miller must prove to the
government that for each million pounds
of wheat imported he has exported an
equal amount converted into flour and
other wheat products.
1t is this proposition which the local
millers, supported by the grain and ele-
vator men, will submit to WASHINGTON
either for ruling from the revenue de-
partment or for congressional action, as
the case ,may require. Failing in this,
the agitation for the admission of Cana
dian wheat free will be started. This will
undoubtedly meet with general support
from the west when the facts are brought
to the attention of western business men
and farmers.
Congestion In Canada
Local grain men have given the Cana
dian grain situation much attention with
IN the past two weeks. Representatives
of various large concerns have visited
Winnipeg and other points in western

range. They believe that in ordinar,

Washington. Feb. 26-The action of the

company has stirred up congress to the
Importance of considering some needed
legislation. Senator Clapp Of Minnesota
has had under consideration an amend

which would give the commission greater
power and more extended authority in
interstate and intrastate. He would
give the federal authorities power to step
inside the confines of state and exer-
else the same functions between different

NOT GOOD COLLATERAL

How Northern Securities stock Ii
Regarded by Banks.
Special to The Journal.
New York, Feb. 26.-Northern Securi-
ties stock is not considered good col
lateral by some of the banks and trust
companies in New York Brokerage
houses having Northern Securities stock
deposited as collateral for loans were
notified yesterday to take UP the stock.
This action was taken by more than one
banking institution, presumably because
of fear lest the litigation may be extended
over long period and lest while the court
proceedings are on it may be impossible
to pay dividends on the stock.
Several institutions, however, consider
the stock good collateral, notwithstand-
ing the proceedings to be begun by the
attorney general
Since the announcement of the decision
of the government the Securities stock
has been dull and weak on the curb.
Financial hackers Of the railroads have
taken fresh courage since the supreme
courts refusal to grant the petition Of
the Minnesota officials and there is ex-
pectation in some quarters that the an
nouncement of additional consolidation
schemes may not be much longer with

We Would Keep the Farm

He was a retired farmer, and when
We talked with him the other day he
was trying to solve the problem of
whether he had better accept an offer
of $50 per acre for his 160-acre farm or
keep it. He said the farm would bring
him in a cash rent of $3.50, out of
which he had to pay taxes, $50; insur-
ance. SO; and a repair account of
about $50 per year, leaving him a net
income of S420, or 2. 8 per cent per an
mum upon S14,400. If he sold the place
and put the money at interest, he
would have difficulty in getting it into
a safe 5 per cent security; but, assum-
ing that he was able to do this, it
would figure this way: His interest in
come would be $720. AS he lived in a
country town where school and munich
pal taxes were heavy, the tax rate
being 6 per cent on one-fourth of the
actual valuation of property assessed,
he would have $216 to pay as taxes,
which deducted from his interest in
come would leave him 1904 net. While
this showing is in favor of selling the
farm, there should not be overlooked
the risk taken in investing the money
and the chance that part Of the time
his capital might not be in use. He
could easily increase the income from
the farm by getting the right man to
work it on shares and keeping good
stock from $3.50 to nearly 81 900. But
even if he could not do this W. would
still hang on to the farm, for this sort
of an investment is absolutely safe.
