MR.. TALKS.
Company's Superintendent
Tells What He Doesn't Know.

T. Calvert, superintendent of the
Burlington & Missouri River railway,
arrived from Lincoln Wednesday
night and spent yesterday at the sur
veying camp of Engineer DeyO who
has charge of the party running the
line from Billings to Great Falls for
the proposed Burlington extension.
He returned to Billings in the even
ing tired out with his days work, but
granted interviews to a nur nber of
newspaper men who learned of his
presence here.
To The Gazette, Mr.. Calvert said
that he had no knowledge of the com
pany's intentions regarding the con-
struction Of the road. $50 far as /
know" he said, the company has no
intention of postponing the work of
construction. The order for begin
ming the work has not yet bee given,
however, and I am not prepared to
say when this will be issued. We have
about completed the work of surveying
the new line. The party u1 der Mr..
Deyo is now about seven miles from
Billings and is finishing up a little
work along the bottom. I expect they
will be through in about ten days.
The other party will be out about 80
days longer. We ran a line over this
same country about seven, years ago,
but the grade was so heavy that the
company didn't care to undertake the
building of the road. This time we
have changed the route somewhat and
have succeeded in getting a more
level grade"
Asked about the report recently
sent out from Great Falls to the eff
feet that the company would do moth
ing this year towards building the
line. Mr.. Calvert laughed and said
that he understood that IN enterpris-
ing news gatherer had interviewed
one of the cooks connected with the
surveying outfit at the other end of
the line and had secured the material
for his dispatches.
Mr.. Calvert left last night for the
Big Horn country, where he will spend
a few days.

BORNE TO THE GRAVE.
Remains of Late Mrs. Roland Steb-
bins Laid At Rest.

The funeral Of the late Mrs. Roland
Stebbins was held yesterday after
noon from the family residence and
was attended by a large of
scrrowing friends. The services we're
conducted by the Rev. w. d. Clark of
the Congregational church, assisted by
a quartette composed of Messrs. Gill
luly, Hassler, HOLSTER and Gainforth.
The same selections that were sung
Tuesday at the funeral of Mr.. Steb-
bins were repeated, which fact made
them doubly impressive.
Mr.. Clark took for his text the
shortest verse in the bible, Jesus
Wept," and the selection proved a
fitting one, since only two days be-
fore the friends had met in the same
home to pay the last tribute to the
departed husband. The discourse
was one of sympathy and comfort to
the daughters who in the space of a
few days have been bereft of both

NO ACTION ON FULLER BID.
Baltimore Council Will Investigate
Certain Newspaper Statements.

A dispatch from Baltimore, Md, last
night says: Final action on the ordinance
providing for sale Of the city's interest in
the Western Maryland railroad to the Full
Ter syndicate was deferred until Monday
night by vote of to in the second
branch of the city council tonight. This
action was taken for the purpose of investi-
eating a published report that the Wabash
railroad was seeking a Philadelphia ter
minal through traffic arrangement with
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad and
that "a strong Gould representation would
be found in the Readings directorate in
the near future"
George J. Gould, President Ramsey of
the Wabash railroad and other directors in
that road are members of the Fuller syn
dictate. The Fuller sale ordinance contains
a provision that the Western Maryland
railroad shall not be sold to any railroad
controlling, owning or operating any line
terminating in the city of Philadelphia.
The Reading railroad is one of the bidders
for the Western Maryland stock, but the
foregoing provision would have to be
amended before it's bid could be accepted.

FALSIFICATIoN CHARGED.
Senator Carmack's Attack on the War
Department

The discussion concerning the bringing of
Filipinos to this country to testify before
the Senate committee on the Philippines
was continued yesterday afternoon in the
Senate. Mr. Carmack said he could see no
good reason for the majority's refusal to
summon AguinaldO Mabini and other Fill
pinos to appear as witnesses before the
committee. He said Gen. Funston had said
that Aguinaldo had confessed to him that
he (AguinaldOD had had Luna assassinated
because he was becoming too popular.
Gov. Taft had testified that Gen. Funston
had said Aguinaldo had had Luna killed,
lest Luna should kill him.
Mr.. Foraker wanted to know what the
killing Of Luna by another Filipino had TO
bill
Mr.. Carmack said it had been the purpose
OF the majority Of the Philippine commit
lee 10 show that Aguinaldo was thief
bride taker and murderer. and he urged
that in common fairness Aguinaldo ought
10 be heard In his own defense.
Mr. T1llman IS. c. insisted that de
cency demands that AguinaIdo be brought
here TO testify IN his own defense"
continuing, MIR. Carmack urged that Agui-
naIdo ought 10 be summoned as a witness
notwithstanding the contention of the ma
5ority that he was traitor and murderer
Mr.. Dubois said It seemed strange that.
after the committee had decided not TO
summon Asulnaldo as witness, Gen. Mac
Arthur Tor the first time had testified that
Aguinaldo was a man Of high character
MIR. Carmack criticised the War DEPART
ment for, as he said. refusing TO give infor-
nation.
Mr. Culberson (Texl had read a letter
from the Secretary of War. in which he
gave the expenditures in his last annual re-
port and in which he said that IL has not
been customary for the War Department to
arrange accounts of expenditures with ref
erence 10 the place where the ultimate
service depending upon them is rendered
No separate account has ever been kept of
expenditures OF the army, according to the
different localities in which troops might be

A dispatch from Norfolk. Va, yesterday
says: A serious fire broke out in the heart
of Norfolk's business district this morning.
1t originated from a bare wire in the Com
mercial place store and warehouse of the
Virginia Candy Company, and quickly
spread to the adjoining four-story build
ing occupied by McDonald's restaurant.
The fire burned through to Roanoke ave
nue. and communicated to the office of the
Norfolk Dispatch, cutting the third floor
and destroying the upper floors of the add
joining double building.
Soon after the flames were first discoV-
cred 1t appeared that the entire block
bounded by Main and Water streets, Com
mercial place and Roanoke avenue was
doomed.
A general alarm brought out the entire
fire department, but the firemen were ham,
pered by lack of water. 1t was two hours
before the fire was under control. 1t spread
to other buildings frequently, but each of
the incipient blaZes was eXtinguished as
fast discovered.

building collapsed and fell on the roof of
the adjoining building, where the hosemen

A full attendance of delegates and men,

OF the national congress Of the Sons of the
American Revolution, and the hall was
crowded this morning with the patriotic
sons. The time of the visitors since the
opening of the congress has been thoroughly
taken up with business matters and social
festivities, but the zeal of the descendants
of revolutionary fathers, and the remarks
of General Logan have been sustained
when at the opening of the congress he de-
clared that the delegates would not be
found lacking in ability to participate in all
the functions provided for their enjoyment.
The principal business Of the morning
session was the election Of officers for the
national society for the coming year.
The nominations for president general
were opened by Col. Ridgley of Maryland,

MAJOR GLENN's TRIAL.
May Be Followed by That of Lieut..
Conger and Capt. Lyon.

Conger and Capt. Lyon.
the order for the trial of Major Edwin F.
Glenn, 9th Infantry, by court-martial at
Catbalogan, Samar on the 10Th instant is
In accordance with the determination of the
President, announced on the 18th ultimo,
as a result of the testimony taken by the
Senate committee on the Philippines in re-
gard to the inf1iction of the so-called wa
ter cure" The original plan was to try
Major Glenn and the other officers involved
with him in this country but it was found
more expedient to have the trials take
place in the Philippines, for the reason
that most of the principal witnesses are
now In that country. General Chaffee be-
ing practically the prosecutor in these cases
1t was decided that the President should re-
view the proceedings.
Lieutenant A. l.. Conger, 18th Infantry,
and Captain Palmer H. Lyon, assistant sur
geon OF volunteers, who were said to have
been associated with Major Glenn in the
torture of the presidente of the town of
Igbarras, are in this country. Their
cases are being investigated by Judge Ad-
Vocate General Davis with view to deter
mining the ACCESSIBILITY of trying them by
court-martial. 1t is now said that such ac-
ton will depend to a considerable extent
on the evidence adduced at the trial of
Major Glenn. At present there is doubt
as to the degree of responsibility exercised
by these officers in the particular case of
alleged torture under investigation.

Its Expediency Doubted.

Some difference Of opinion has developed
in the House committee on labor as to re
porting the bin for a commission to inVes-
tigate the status of the colored race. 1t
was urged by some of the southern MEM
beers that the inquiry was likely to create
racial unrest, while Messrs Barthodt OF
Missouri and Warnock of Ohio urged that
ii was designed to overcome racial unrest.
The question finally went over untn the
next meeting.
