LONDON DOCK CHARGES.
Hearing by the Senate Committee o.
Com mRrGe.

Hearing by the Senate Committee on
-..-.. Commerce.
The Senate committee on commerce today
heard the interests affected by the Nelson
bill. relative to London dock charges. The
whole matter was elaborately discussed in
report made by Ambassador Choate,
which report was frequently referred to In
the discussion. John Crosby of Minneapolis
appeared for the nour shippers and ]. J.
McKelvey for the lumbermen. These two
interests are those most affected by the
dock charges, They want the charges for
dockage included In the fretghts charged
by the steamship companies, and not car
ried as separate expense. The represen-
tatives Of the shippers claim that under the
present system they are subject to discrimi-
nation.
]. ]. Hemphill. who represented the steam
ship companies, argued that the dock
charges ought not to be included In the
freights because the steamship companies
could not tell what the charges would be
In the. future and that various circum-
stances might cause an increase OF charges
Large freight ships plying between the
United States and London were at dis
advantage with the smaller ships which did
the carrying business from south Atlantic
countries because the smaller vessels could
go farther up the Thames.
1t was stated during the hearing that
London and Antwerp were the only great
ports In the world where dock charges We're
not fixed by statute and specific so that
shippers and ship companies know what the
costs will be.
F. A. Magdeburg of Milwaukee, repre-
senting fiour shippers, was also heard by
until next Monday. when the hearing will
continue.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, February GA
head-on collision occurred last night. about
10 clock between two passenger trains on
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac railroad at Quautico, twenty-five
miles south of this city. No one was
killed, but several of the passengers were
badly shaken up. A passenger, whose
name could not be learned in this city, was
seriously injured. He was carried to
Fredericksburg about 3 o'clock this morn
ing, where he received medical attention.
He was on the south-bound train and it
was said that he had come from New
York and was on his way to Florida.
One of the colliding trains was Florida
special, which passes through this city
about o'clock. The other was Sea board
Air Line train from Richmond. When the
collision occurred one of the. trains was
going at a high speed. Both engines were
wrecked and express and baggage ears on
each train were partly demolished. 1t was
regarded as remarkable that there was no
fatality among the passengers. The en-
gineers and firemen on both engines saw
the threatened danger in time to Jump.
They escaped with slight injuries A
wrecking train was Immediately sent to
the scene from Washington, but 1t was not
until several hours later that the track
was cleared. Trains are running on sched-
ule time this morning.
The exact cause of the accident is not
known. According to schedule the trains
were to pass at Quantico, and it is sup
posed that one was little late and that
some mistake occurred as to the signals
Up to a few months ago Quantico was the
northern terminus of the Richmond. Fred
ericksburg and Potomac sline, and all
trains stopped there, but since the line
has been extended to this city the stop at
Quantico for through trains has been dis
continued.

Has Sentence of Death Pronounced
on Fugitive Pasha.
MAY NEVER HAVE IT EXECUTED
His Condemned Brother-in-law is
in Paris New.
HISTORY OF THE CASE

CONSTANTINOPLE. February G.-The
sultan's brother-in-law. Damad Mahmud
Pasha. has been sentenced to death. NAH
mud has long been prominent in the young
Turk movement and was recently expelled
from Greece at the behest of the sultan.
Mahmud went to Rome and the sultan
uuested his expulsion from Italy. Ii was re-
fused but Mahmud proceeded to Paris,
where he remains in safety.
All the sultans Establishments failed to
induce him to return to Constantinople, SO
the criminal court was instructed 10 issue a
warrant for Mahmud's arrest and TO try the
fugitive by default, with the result that he
was condemned to death.
A dispatch to the Associated.Press from
Constantinople dated December IL. ls.9,
announced that the flight of the sultans
brother-in-law, Damad Mahmud Pasha,
during the previous week with ms wlfe
jewels and all the money he could collect,
had caused a great sensation there. He
was accompanied by his two sons, Princes
Sabaggedit and Luthfalla.
1t was ascertained that Mahmud sailed for
Marseilles on a steamer. and the Turkish
government telegraphed to the French min
lister of foreign affairs. NJ. Delcasse. ask
ing for the arrest of the fugitive on his ar
rival at Marseilles and his return to Con-
stantinople on the charge that he was i'm
plicated in plot to assassinate the sultan.
This accusation, however, was generally
discredited, and 1T was believed the refugee
was the victim OF an intrigue
A later dispatch from Constantinople said
that Mahmud, who intended to stay i'm
Paris for a time, declared that the charge
that he had appropriated money and ac-
cepted bribes was a calumny and that he
was being prosecuted by political intriguers.
Destination Was London.
Mahmud announced that he intended To
go to London, and that when he reached
that city he would publish an open letter,
exposing the methods and policies of Sultan
Abdul Hamid, and also a brochure, entitled
Turkeys Coming Downfall"
Mahmud is about fifty years Of age. The
sultan, after Mahmud's flight, decreed the
divorce of his sister Senha Sultana, in
consequence of her husbands desertion.
Mahmud realized 20O0.ooo francs Just be
fore his departure. but his principal estates
We're confiscated and he and his sons were
officially proclaimed renegrades and out
laws.

HELD TOO LIBERAL VIEWS
PROF. PEARSON MUST LEAVE NORTH
WESTERN UNIVERSITY.
Verdict of Committee Appointed to
investigate His Utterances
About the Bible.

CHICAGO February 6.-Prof. Charles W.
Pearson will be asked to resign from the
facIIlty of Northwestern University, the
Tribune SAYS, if the report of the commit
tee appointed to investigate his case is ac-
cepted by the executive committee of the
board of trustees.
The decision was reached, according TO
the Trib1ne after a two hours session be-
hind closed doors last night, at which the
communication written by the professor on
Tuesday was read and the case reviewed
The members of the examining committee
are Dr. Daniel Bonbright. acting president
of the university: DIR. Robert D. Sheppard,
business agent, and NJ II. Wilson, d trus-
tee.
The reDOrt in substance, 1t is said, will
declare that Prof Pearson has transgressed
the rules of propriety in openly declaring
the fallibiity of the Bible while occupying
a chair in an institution supported NANNY
by contributions from members of the
Methodist Church. and that he should seek
a chair in some liberal institution where he
would be at liberty to preach any doctrine
he might desire.
For these reasons the conclusion is drawn
that the university trustees should ask
Professor Pearson to resign.
Professor Pearson, when informed of the
verdict of the trial board, declined to dis
cuSS the matter.
On previous occasions, however the pro-
feSsor has declared that he would accept
the verdict of the trustees without muir
mur. He has said, further, he would not
stay where he was not wanted.
Professor Pearson was not asked to at
tend the meeting and did not know one had
been held until it was over.
The executive committee of the board of
trustees will meet next week. The Pearson
report will be given to them at that time.

SPANISH FORBEARANCE.
Evidence of Good Feeling Toward
This Country.

United States Vice Consul Dean r. Wood
at Madrid has cited to the State Depart
ment an instance of Spanish forbearance,
which he regards as evidence of the grow
ing feeling toward the United States. This
grew out of the outrageous doing of a man
from oregon, who, according to the consurs
report, invaded Madrid, became intoxi-
Gated cast money about the streets, knock
ed out with his fist half dozen Spanish
policemen and gendarmes, and yet was per-
mitted to go scot free by the Spanish judges
on the single condition of quitting Spain at
once. The State Department does not care
to publish the name of this man, because,
according to Mr. Woods account, he truly
repented his exploits and misdeeds. He had
not touched liquor for five years, and when
he did yield he became thoroughly in
tOXicated that he knew nothing of what he
did. After he had been subdued with great
difficulty by the Madrid police he was
locked up. and the American consular agent
was sent for by the Spanish judges. When
he explained the matter to them the judges
courteously offered to release the prisoner
at once if he would leave Spain, and the
Oregonian was shipped at once homeward.

In accepting the appointment, Commits
sioner Macfarland, who is president of the

Il was pleased to learn that you had

Desires Suitable Monument.
II have earnestly desired that there
should be a suitable monument to mark
the grave of President Mckinley, as well
as an appropriate memorial in his honor
at the national capital. ] believed that
both memorials could and would be pro-
vided by popular subscription. But, as
our friends who We're working primarily
for the erection of a monument at Canton
believed differently and urgently repre-
sented their fears to us. We yielded the
field of popular subscription at their re-
quest, and turned to Congress for the
erection of nationaf memorial at the ma
tional capital.
The People and Congress-.
'I believe now that the Canton monu-
ment Will be raised by popular subscrip-

AN IMPROVEMENT SHOWN.
Health of the Army of the Philip
pines.

Surgeon General Sternberg has received n
report from Lieut.. Cod. b. F. Pope, chief
surgeon of the division of the Philippines.
in regard to the health of that command
during the month ended December IL. X
shows a decrease In the percentage of sick
ness, which Col. Pope says may be consld-
cred especially favorable In view of the
long continuance of the rainy season and
the active military operations In Samar and
Batangas. The total number of deaths is
seventy-seven, the same number as the pre-
yious month. Eleven soldiers died from
wounds received in action and sixteen were
ness. The strength of command being
39.O40, the percentage Of sickness to COM
mand was 6.21. There was a decrease in
the number of cases of typhoid and mala-
rial fever. and an Increase in intestinal and
gastric diseases. Bubonic plague has re-
appeared in the city of Manila, and the
board of health is conducting active
campaign against rats. with view of pre-
venting a spread of the plague. So far no
such cases ,have appeared in the army.
Col. Pope says that the date OF incidence
of plague this year, about three weeks
earlier than in the two previous seasons.
and the large proportion OF plague rats
nearly per cent of the total number coll
lected. render many cases OF plague prop-
able before next November. The early re-
appearance of the disease. he says is stili
more unfavorable when climatic conditions
are compared with those of the last two
years the weather having continued wet
and cold therefore unfavorable for Plague
recrudescence until much later date than
usual.

meeting of the Five States Milk Producers
Association, representing 10000 milk pro-
ducers in the states of New York, Penn
syivania New Jersey. Massachusetts and
Connecticut, was held in this city yesterday.
The question discussed was the passage OF
the o!eomargarine bill now before Congress.
1t was shown that conspiracy existed
between the railroads in the states repre-
sented and the big shippers in the larger
cities whereby the roads Disseminated in
favor of the shippers against the co-Opera-
tive creameries and milk depots established
by the producers, who lowered the rate OF
milk sold the consumer. Resolutions were
unanimously adopted directing Senators
Depew and Platt as representatives Of the
milk producers to support and urge the
passage of the GTout bill, thus aiding in
surpressing the reported discrimination Of
the railroads. A committee was also APP
pointed to confer with the states railroad
commissioners in regard to the matter.
