Question Forced Upon the Republican
Majority in the House.

Washington. Feb. 3.-The question
of dealing with the disfranchisement
of negro voters in Southern States
has been forced upon the considera-
tion, of the republican majority in
the house of representatives by the
call for a caucus. to be held on Mon
day night. Had the wishes and opin-
ions of the leaders of the house. such
as Messrs. Payne, Dalzell, Cannon and
Babcock been the binding principle
there would be no present adoption Of
q policv, or even formal party consid-
Grafton. But the agitation by Messrs
Crumpacker of Indiana. Olmstead Of
Pennsylvania, Moody of Mississippi
Dick of Ohio, and the few representa-
tives from the Southern and border
states resulted in demand for action.

AS RoYAlTY's GUEST.
King Edward Would Highly Prize
Miss Roosevelt's Visit.

New York. Feb. IA World cable
from London says the cabled announ-
cement that Miss Alice Roosevelt was
likely to accompany the special EN-.
bassy to the coronation oof Kind Ed
ward VII. is exciting the liviest inter.
est there.
1T is suggested that Whitelaw Reid
was inspired to issue the invitation by
an intimation from King Edward that
Miss Roosevelt's presence would be
particularly agreeable to him and un-
questionably would be accepted as a
highly priced personal compliment
from President Roosevelt
THE World correspondent inquired
tonight of an officer in the kings
household. who is member of the
resent government, what would be the
status OF Miss Roosevelt II she attend
ed the coronation. He replied: Speak
ing unofficially, am certain the king
would desire to treat the PRESIDENT
daughter on the same footing as the
daughters of crowned heads, among
whom she would be placed at the coro-
nation ceremonies. This would be with.
out precedent. but the king will not al.
low precedent to interfere in showing
the highest distinction in his power to
the daughter of the American Presi-
dent, and his prerogative is absolute
where all questions of precedence are
concerned. IT the king becomes aware
that President Roosevelt is willing that
his daughter should accompany Mr.
Reid, she certainly will be offered the
hospitality of royal palace. although
IT is quite conceivable that the Presi-
dent would prefer that his daughter
should come merely as a member OF
the local ENJOYS party"

A SHOT AT TRUSTS
Is Taken by the Transmissis-
sippi Commercial Congress.

st. Paul, Aug. 22.-Although yester-
days discussion of the trust question
and the later action of the resol t,tions
committee in ignoring the question had
been regarded as the end of considera-
ton of that problem before the Trans
mississippi commercial congress, such
proved not to be the case. When the
congress was called to order today for
the closing session, J. A. Gardner of ST.
Louis. secured the floor and moved the
adoption of resolutions which he pre-
sented- These slightly differed from the
Wetmore resolutions of earlier discus
sion and precipitated- another lively de-
bate. The point of the discussion was
more whether the proposition would be
generally looked on as partisan action
by the congress than NOn the merits of
the case. Little of Importance has been
left over for the closing session so the
OF the debate made up for that. A vote
was finally reached before II o'clock
and by vote of 20 to 10 the resolutions
were adopted as follows:
Whereas, The trust system has been
and is e menace to our Republican in
StitutiOns, and
Whereas, If allowed to continue to
form coin binations in restraint of trade
and the elimination of competition, the
wealth o. the entire country will be con-
centrateG in the hands of a few, and

ton have made-it great, therefore be It

Res o.ved, That if in the wisdom o.

a day and was exhausted.
When the Fan sank the masthead was
several feet out of water. Being an

and were apparently waiting for him

SUSPECTS MURDER.
Edward Remington Doubts That
His Brother Suicided.

Williamsport, Pa, Aug. 22.-It is re-
ported from an authoritative source that
Edward P. Remington is not satisfied
that his brother Robert died by his own
hand. When it became known that he
was entertaining suspicion of foul
play, which originated before he left
Newport with the body, an Associated
Press representative called on Mr. Rem
ington and requested statement. He
replied that he would neither deny nor
affirm anything relative to his brothers
death except that the autopsy revealed
that the bullet in the mouth caused
deah. When asked if the bullet found
imbedded in the dead mans brain
fitted the revolver found by his side, he
declared that he had nothing further to
say. Asked if any developments in the
case could be expected, he said tine
alone could tell.
Mr.. Remington and his attorney, Seth
T. Mccormick. as well as the physicians
who performed the autopsy, were to-
gether in secret conference. and their
action is surrounded by much mystery.
They positively refuse to give out any
further information

Miss Rose Kennedy, who was former
ly employed at the State Reform school.
was in Topeka yesterday and authorized
a denial of the statement that she was
discharged from the force at the school.
She confirms the statement that the
boys at the school were not given
enough to eat. She called Superintend-
ent Charles to see the boys when they
complained of being ill-fed, and he Or
dered them fed. Superintendent
Charles denied to a reporter for the
State journal that Miss Kennedy had
ever made any complaint to him con-
cerning the way in which the boys were
fed.
Some of the officers at the school as
sert positively that Miss Kennedy,
while she was permitted to resign, was
to all intents discharged. She wanted
to go to Hot Springs with her brother
who was sick. and Charles objected,
they say. This forced her to resign in
order to carry out her plan.
2 Miss Kennedy's statement follows:
.-To the Editor of the State Journal:
