Racine, Wis, Jan. S.-Henry Ros-
miller of Burlington, Superintendent
of the knickerbocker Ice company of

Result OF Admiral SchIey's Recent In.
tervieW With the President.

Washington, Jan. President
Roosevelt has consented to consider
an ap1> cal by Admiral Schley from the
majority report of the court of inquiry.
This was the result of the admirals
recent call at the White House. Ad-

submitted to the navy department,
bringing out some new facts which

dacker, senior member of local firm
OF bankers, is in the Michael Rees
hospital as the result of injuries from
carbollc acid, flung from syringe into
his face, by Paul Mueller, dealer in

insure them. The building was burned

the courts, which declared that Syn

GUsHER FLOODS FARMS.
Natural Artesian Well Breaks Loose in
Wisconsin.

La Crosse, Wis, Jan. 8.-Many
farms in the town of Franklin are
being Hooded by water gusher which
has burst from the ground on the farm
OF a man named Bronson. The water
spurts 30 feet into the air, and is
doubtless the biggest natural artesian
well in the state. During the day a
number of farmers attempted to stop
the flow and save their property from
injury by rolling a huge bowlder into
the cavity. The stone, which weighs
nearly two tons, was hurled 80 feet
into the air by the great force of the
water.

Chicago, Jan. 8.-Prosecutions
against all the, big packing house con.
Germs in the West for violations of the
provision of'the Interstate Commerce
law against receiving preferential
rates are contemplated by the inter.
state commerce commission.
This fact developed during an in.
Vestlgatlon begun by the commission
into the handling of packing house
products and dressed meats. It also
became apparent that the commission
and the railway arrangements of the
entlre country practically had entered
into an alliance for the purpose of in
duclng congress to pass legislation
permitting the railroads to pool under
certain regulations by the Interstate
commerce commission, and that it is
believed such law can and will be
passed.
The third development of the dav
was the announcement that the COM
mission had requested the attendance
mere OF all the leading men in the adj
vancement of the community of in
terest idea, including J. P. MORGAN.

request, harsher measures would he

Tired Of Being Law Breakers.
Paul Morton, second vice president
OF the Santa Fe; S. G. Bird, third vice
president OF the st. Paul; j. M. John
son, third vice president of the Rock
Island, and other men of the highest
standing in the railroad world. took
the stand and stated boldly that they
are now and had been continual vio-
lators OF the law; that they are sick
and tired Of being such, that present
conditions are intolerable, that they
are poWerless to secure a maintenance
OF rates and that millions of dollars
are paid to the packing house interests
yearly by railroads at the expense of
legitimate revenue.
The packing houses and their rep
resentatives to whom rebates were
paid during 1901, according to Com
missioner Prouty, will, if possible, be
made amenable to a maximum fine of
$4,000 for every violation of the law.
Regarding this phase of the ques-
ton, Commissioner Prouty said: ct
am heartily in favor of furnishing the
packers for violations of the law if
the evidence proves sufficient, and I
think it will. Under the law we can
not punish the railroad men who
testified, for their testimony absolves
themselves, and they do not testify
specifically against anyone else. All
the punishment that we can, if any,
obtain against the packers is in the
way OF fine not to exceed $4,000 for
each violation .,,

Nothing More Heard of the Missinq
Victims Of the WaIIa WalIa.
San Francisco, Jan. 8.-Nothing has
been heard of the missing victims of
the Walla Walla disaster, and it is
feared that they all went down with
the steamer. The statement of Look
out johnson, made to the coroner's
jury at Eureka, that he saw lights on
the bark Max and warned the officers
on the bridge of the Walla Walla, is
denied by them. Other members Of

on the French bark were visible. The
conflicting statements will be investi-
gated by the United States marine au-
thorities and the responsibility for the
disaster fixed.

Washington, Jan. 8.-The debate on
the Nicaragua canal bill in the house
was opened in lively fashion by Mr..
Hepburn, chairman of the Interstate
and foreign commerce committee.
which reported the bill For two
hours he held the floor, replying to a.
VOlley of questions concerning the
recent offer of the Panama Canal
company to sell it's property and fran
ch1ses to the United States for s40,-
100000. The interest in the debate
centered almost entirely in this new
phase of the subject. Mr.. Hepburn
maintained that the alleged new offer
OF the Panama company was part of
the plan of delay. All his utterances
along that line were literally ap-
plauded. He pointed out what he
claimed was the suspicious circum-
stance that the Panama company held
out for $109,000,OOO until it was de-
c1ded before the holiday recess to con-
slider the Nicaragua bill, and then
suddenly dropped the price to S4O,-
100000. Mr.. Morris (Minn.) gave
notice that at the proper time he
would offer an amendment to author
ize the president, if he could procure
the property and rights of the Panama
company for $40,O0O,OOO, if conces-
sions could be procured from Colon
bia, and if the Walker commission so
recommended, to purchase and pro-
coed to complete the Panama canal.
The other speakers were Messrs.
Davis (Fla), Richardson (Ala.), and
Adams (Pa.).

Watson for the Senate.
(Danbury Reporter.)


The Reporter feels confident it voices
the sentiment of Stokes county Democ-
racy when it dominates for the seat of
Mr.. Pritchard in the United States SEN
ate, Hon. CYRUS Il. Watson, of Forsyth
county.
A number of sterling Democrats and
excellent gentlemen have permitted
their names to be mentioned as candi-
dates for this exalted position. We
have no quarrel with them. We declare
unequivocally for Mr.. Watson because
we believe he is the most guileless able
man in North Carolina, and that no man
living could $50 nearly satisfy the con-
stituency of the immortal Vance. He has
eminently those virtues which are so
rare in the public men of the day A
self-made man, familiar with the wants
and needs of the masses, a friend to the
poor and just to the rich. Mr.. Watson
has in him the elements that constitute
the great commoner, the true, the con-
sentative statesman. Our industrial
and commercial rights-so prone to be
invaded at this day and time by combi-
nation of capital-would not suffer if
such watchdogs guarded the walls. No
man would stand firmer against the
Establishments of the corporations, or
the seductions of the community of in
terest.' We do not believe the gold of
the oppressive and unconscionable trusts
would ever bride his honest convictions,
nor enlist his talents against his own
people His record in the North Carolina
LEGISLATURE is evidence that it would not
No man would stand more obstnately
