ANTI-ANARcHIsT BILL
House Committee Reports on the Purposes
Of the Measure.

Washington, Feb. TO- Chairman
Ray, of the house committee on iudi-
icfary; today presented the report on
the bill for the protection Of the presi-
dent and the suppression of crime
against the government. The report
states that the committee has carefully
considered the many anti-anarchistic
measures, and has sought to present
wise, conservative, constitutional and
effective measure. The purposes of
the bill are summed up as follows:
First, prevent resistance to and pro-
ttect the president and vice president
of the United States and those by law
in line of succession TO that high office;
second, protect the ministers and am
bassadors of foreign countries accred-
tied to and within the United States;
third, prevent the open and deliberate
approval of certain crimes, and also
certain unlawful teachings, which, if
permitted, are calculated and intended
to breed lawlessness and crime against
and culminate in the destruction of the
government; fourth, prevent the COM
ing to or naturalization in this country
of those who teach or entertain such
pernicious doctrines; fifth, prevent con-
spiracies in the United States to muir
der the rulers of other civilized nations;
sixth, provide adequate and uniform
punishments for these offenses wher-
ever committed, and the offenses
against government intended to impair
or overthrow the government Of the
United States.

BIG BOOST FOR LINE.
$4,000 Raised for the GOIdendale. Portland
Railroad.

Goldendale, Wash, Feb. 10.-The
citizens of Goldendale and Klickitat
county have'raised $40, 900 for the right
of way for the railroad from this city
to Portland. The committee in charge
of this matter considers this amount
sufficient to secure the right of way
from Goldendale to Lyle, Al miles.
All rights of way have been secured,
excepting three or four between Golden
dale and the head of Swale canyon, a
distance of abont 1s miles, through the
farming part of Klickitat county. The
rest of the route lies principally
through government lands, there being
but few settlers and few Indian
claims along the Big Klickitat, there
fore little trouble will be encountered
on this score.
Contracts have not yet been signed,
but it is expected that work win COM
mence on the grading within so days.
The company organized for the pur-
pose of building this line will reserve
two years in which to complete the line
from Lyle to Goldendale, but expects
to carry the crop from the Klickitat val
ley this year. Property valuations
have already advanced perceptibly in
the vicinity of Goldendale and along
the route of the proposed road.

VALUE or DANISH ISLES.
Latest Acquisition Of Great Strategic Import.
ancs-provisIOn Of Treaty Explained.

Washington, Feb. 10. : The recent
favorable report by the senate commit
tee on foreign relations on the treaty
for the cession Of the Danish West
Indies was accompanied by a written
statement by that committee to the SEN
ate. This report holds that during
1900 the islands exported TO the United
States sugar, molasses and distilled
spirits amounting to $56s ,94g, and that
during the same period the importa-
tions from the United States amounted
70 1924 ,524. The annexation Of the
islands was sought by the United States
years ago, and as far back AZ 1867 Dem
mark declined 70 cell the Islands Tor
IS coo, 600, but made a proposition to
part with them for SIS, 100000 Sec
retary Seward offered 1880, 900,
which was declined. He afterward
agreed to pay that amount for the
islands Of st. Thomas and st. John, but
the trade fell through because Of COM
plications which arose. Continuing,
the report Gays:
"These islands, together with Porto
Rico, are Of great importance in
strategic way, whether the strategy be
military or commercial st. Thomas
is natural point Of call for all Euro
pean trade bound to the West Indies,
Central America or Northern South
America. These islands, together with
Porto Rico, form the northeastern cor
Der Of the Caribbean sea and are Of
great importance in connection with
the American isthmus, where a canal
will be constructed between the At
lantic and the Pacific. They are of
first Importance in connection with our
relations to the region of the Orinoco
and the Amazon and with our control
of the Windward Passage. In view Of
the isthmian canal and European set
Elements in South America, every addi-
tional acquisition by the United States
is OF value. Porto Rico is densely pop
ulated Its roads are poor. 1t has
long coast line without ports for large
vessels. 1t is consequently very diff
cult OF defense. San Juan is the only
harbor with Notifications, and this is
only suitable for vessels of light draft. !"
Explaining provision in the treaty
for continuing pensions for retired local
functionaries, it is stated that the total
amount required annually for this pur-
pose will not exceed 81, 900.

GAS MAINS BLOW Up.
Thirteen Lives Are Lost in Chicago Ex.
pIosion-About Hundred Injured.

N@A@s~NA - tNtEA4f
Chicago, Feb. 7.--Thirteen lives we're
lost, many persons slightly injured, two
buildings were wrecked and $50 900
damage done BY an explosion Of gas to-
night at the intersection Of Twenty-sec.
ond street and Archer avenue.
The cause Of the explosion ii un-
known and il has not yet been deter
mined whether it was sewer gas or il.
Illuminating gas. Mains filed with the
latter were instantly abIaze after the
explosion and succession Of explosions
followed, the flames shooting up through
the manhoIes in the street. Il win
be difficult to ascertain whether ilIum-
mating gas exploded or whether the
mains we're broken by an explosion Of
sewer gas.
Many people living in the vicinity
believe that the first explosion was in
main at Twenty-secend street and
Archer avenue. Then the manhole,
half block south on Archer avenue,
was thrown into the air By loud ex-
plosion. Flames leaped and roared
from the hole. The fire spread rapidly
and three other manholes were blown
into the air.
The flames from the first gas main
sho@high into the air and reached.
with the aid Of the wind, to q three
story frame structure, and it had teen
weakened and nearly wrecked by the
shock. 1t is supposed that the occu-
pants Of the buildings were knocked
unconscious or were too panic stricken
to rush from the place. The flames
caught the weather worn timbers. The
dry and rotting wood was food for the
FIRE, and in an instant the flames had
enveloped the structure. With roar
the building collapsed, and the occu-
pants, with one exception, were carried
with it to the basement.
The adjoining building, two story
structure, fared up, the next building
was wrapped in flames, and then an
other structure caught fire. It seemed
that the whole block would be wiped
out before the firemen could bring the
blaze under control. A firewaIl of a
brick building at Archer avenue and
Twenty-second street held the fire in
that direction. On the west of the
burning buildings were two small one
story cottages. They were few feet
from the burning buildings, and that
gave the fremen an opportunity of
heading of the flames.
The windows throughout the neigh
borhood were broken, and bottles and
i glassware in the dwellings, and stores
were thrown down and broken. MANY
persons in buildings near the explosions
Hera knocked dowA aeoxaa q sslss.
and women, many Of them carrying
children, rushed to the streets. They
were greeted by the glare Of the FIRE
from the smanholes. Fearing further
explosions, the people rushed down the
street, many Of the women screaming
with fright.
On several street cars near the place
| the windows were smashed, and the
passengers were severely shaken up.
When the people in the cars saw the
| flames gush from the ground all hands
rushed for the doors. A number Of
persons were bruised and knocked down
IN the excitement. One car filled with
passengers was thrown from the tracks.

WHERE TO Lose TREASURE.
Beat aRd safest Place eeenas to BE iu
Parfa Cah

Beat and ssfest Place eeems to BE in
Paris Cab.
II man must lose his puFae some
where. perhaps the best place IL in a
Paris cab. Major Arthur Grifiths,
writing In Casseirs Magazine, tells
some wonderful stories OF money re-
covered after being thus left. He says
that the cabmen of Paris are honest
enough-posslbly In spire OF them
selves, for they are a rough lot-and
are carefully looked after by the police
As result, some curious Instances Of
self-denial on the part Of these poorly
paid servants of the public have been
recorded.
One night rich Russian, who had
gone away from his club a large win
ner. left the whole amount, ten thou
sand francs, in cab. He was so GER
tain that he had lost II irreparably that
he returned to st. Petersburg without
even inquirlng whether 1t had been
given up.
Some time later he was again in Par
is and a friend urged him at least to
satisfy himself as to whether the miss
ing money had been taken to the lost
property Office. He went and asked,
although the limit of time for claiming
lost property had almost expired.
Ten thousand francs lost! said the
Official. "Yes, 1t is here's" and after
the proper Identification the packet
was restored to him.
"What fool that cabman must have
beenv was the Russians only remark.
The comment spoke Ill for public
morality In Russia.
On another occasion a jeweler In the
Palais Royal left diamond parure
worth eighty thousand francs in cab.
The police, when he reported his loss,
gave him little hope of recovering the
treasure. Not only were diamonds
worth sixteen thousand dollars great
temptation to the cabman, but worse
still, the loser did not know the num-
ber Of the cabman, having picked him
up In the street instead OF taking him
from the rank; and more unfortunate
yet, he had Quarreled with the driver,
for which reason he had abruptly left
the cab.
The case seemed hopeless, yet the
cabman brought back the diamonds OF
his own accord. The Quaintest part of
the story is to come. When told at the
prefecture to ask the jeweler for the
substantial reward to which he was
clearly entitled. he replied:
mo, not /; he was too rude. l hope
l may never see him or speak to him
again."
All cabmen are not so honest as this,
yet great deal of treasure finds its
way to the prefecture, whittier every
thing found in streets and highways, In
omnlbuses, theaters, cabs and railway
stations, is forwarded. In one case an
emigrant, who had made his fortune
In Canada, and carried it In his pocket
in the shape of fifty notes of ten thou
sand francs each, dropped his purse as
he climbed on to the outside of an ON.
nibus.
The conductor picked it up and re,
stored 1t with its one hundred thou
sand dollars intact. To be sure, he
was rewarded with two thousand five
hundred dollars, but the temptation he
overcame was great.

CUBAN ANNEXATION.
Republic Invitsd to Become q Part Of the

Republic Invited to Become Part Of the
United States.
Washington, Feb 7.-Representative
Newlands, Of Nevada, of the ways and
means committee, who was the author
of the resolution annexing Hawaii, to-
day introduced a resolution inviting the
republic of Cuba to become a part Of
the United States, first as a territory
and then as state of the union, to be
called the state of Cuba; and also
authorizing % per cent reduction of
duty on the present crop of Cuban
sugar, in consideration of Cuba's grant
ing preferential rates to the United
States. The resolution confines the 25
per cent reduction OF duties to the be-
riod prior to January /, 1908. New
lands, in explanation of his resolution.
said:
"All those who have appeared to
voice Cuba's needs and requirements
have indicated that an invitation to
Cuba of annexation would be accepted.
Annexation by force would not be iusti-
fed. 1t must be accomplished, if at
all, by the free act of the Cuban peo-
pie. At present there is no machinery
in Cuba by which the popular will can
be tested, but the Cuban constitution
has been adopted. The Cuban congress
will meet in February, Cnban govern
ment will begorganized, and the United
States will then leave the government
and control of the island to the people.
Cuba then will be in a position to ex-
press her will"
