Department of Commerce.

Washington, Jan. 1G-Senator Nelson.
by authority of the commerce commit
tee, made a favorable report upon the
bill providing for a department of COM
merce. This measure has been advocat-
ed by the business interests of the coun-
try for some time, and it was recon-
mended by President Roosevelt. A sim
liar measure has been introduced into
the house, and ii is said the committee
having charge of 1t will make favora-
BILE report on it In the near future. The
creation of this new executive depart
ment Will be of great benefit to varied
interests.
The measure prepared by Senator Mel
son provides that the new cabinet min
lister shall have jurisdiction over the life
saving service, the marine hospital SER
vice. the bureau of immigration, bureau
of statistics, the commissioner of rail-
roads the census office, the patent office,
the department of labor, the commission
of fish and fisheries, the bureau of for
eign commerce, as well as a number of
other important bureaus of the govern
ment. The measure also proposes to
create bureau of manufacturers and of
mines and mining.
One argument made against the bill
is that it will greatly increase the ex-
penses of the government While there
may be q slight increase, the additional
expense of maintaining the new execu-
tive department will not be great, as
most of the bureaus which will be en-
braced in ii are already in existence,
and it is possible there may be a saving
in the salaries of some of the chiefs OF
these bureaus.

COURT MARTIAL WAINWRIGHT
Naval Expert Accuses the Commando
of Wrongful Conduct.

II
Baltimore, Nd. Jan. 10.-Park Benja-
min, president of the Naval Arch AS
sociation of New York, vice president of
the naval academy alumni, and for over
thirty years student of naval history
and a writer of authority on naval mat
ters. in speaking of the fact that the
court of claims acted upon false testi-
mony In accepting in evidence the chart
made by the board of navigators in 1898
and repudiated by the members of the
board of 1901, said:
That chart is a thoroughly disgrace
full performance, for which the senior
officer of the board, Commander Rich
ard Wainwright, should be compelled to
explain He is chiefly responsible for
that lying chart
THE chart is direct contradiction of
some of the reports upon which 1t was
made. For example. in the chart the
little Hist. a converted yacht, is made
to stop near the Oquendo, or between
that ship and the Maria Teresa AS a
matter Of fact the Hist went miles far
ther on. stopped near the Viscaya, and
took off 142 men from that stranded
cruiser. That fact is made plain by the
report of the commanding officer of the
Hist. who, on the day of the battle, was
Lieut.. Hastletine.

WILL ISSUE PASSES.
Anti Pass Agreement Found Inadvis-

Antl FdSS Agreement TOuUu iuddNtS.
able in Central Office Territory.
st. Louis, Jan. 10.-The Nandalia Will
exchange annual passes with lines of
Its connections in central traffic terri
tory. The Wabash has extended the
limit of it annual passes for 1901 un-
til the 31st of the present month. The
same course was taken recently by the
Big Four. All of this means that in
central traffic territory 1t has not been
found advisable to enforce the anti
pass agreement adopted by the east
ern trunk lines at the New York meet
ing last November. In trunk lines
territory proper the agreement will be
strictly observed, but west of Pitts
burg and Buffalo conditions We're such
that control of the situation and unit
ed action could not be obtained for the
present year. The line will, there
fore. be sharply drawn at the western
termini of the trunk lines. and the
central traffic lines will within few
days issue and receive annual passes
as heretofore.
The trunk lines executives say that
they are not at all discouraged by the
conditions in central traffic territory,
and that the anti-pass agreement Will
be adopted and enforced in all sections
of the country next year. The move
ment will be supported by all the
large interests east and west and
south, and the small roads will cut no
figure when the matter is resubmitted
for action at the close Of the present

tice to him and was met with the state
ment that it was necessary that the
Hist be made to stop between the
Oquendo and the Maria Teresa on the
chart in order not to interfere with the
positions laid down for the other ships
of the United States fleet"
MIR. Benjamin was asked If 1t was his
opinion that the chart was falsitied to
put the New York, Sampson's flagship,
in the battle, altho 1t was never in it.
His reply was:
There must have been some Interior
motive for the disgraceful performance
and a court-martial on the senior officer
of the board would probably determine
what that motive was. Perhaps some
relation could be discovered between the
of the chart and the distri-
button of the prize money, which Secre-
tary Long labors so hard to deNnd.

BIG BANK ASSIGNS.
Euclid Avenue Trust and Savings
Company at Cleveland Makes an
Assignment and Will Go Out of
Business.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 1o.-The Euclid
Avenue Trust Savings Company made
an assignment today to Attorney Frank
H. CHM. The latters bond was fixed
at a quarter of a million.
Subsequently CHM made the follow
ing statement:
THE directors of the bank decided to
make an assignment for the benefit of
all creditors for the reason that the
bank has been unable to realize upon
it's assets rapidly enough to meet the
unusual, demands which nave been
made upon 1t recently. The directors
state no depositor or customer OF the
bank will lose dollar. The bank is
solvent and its present embarrassment
arises from the fact that its patrons
have been unable to meet their obli-
cations to the bank with sufficient ra-
pidity to take care of unuusal with
drawals. The bank has liquidated dur
ing the past three months from about
81, 200, 600 to s1,400,000 deposits and the
assignment will merely continue the Ii
quotation under orders of the court.

RECEIVED INTERNAL MACHINE.
An Attempt Made on the Life Of
Former Iowan.

Dubuque, JAM 1O.-That j. C. Miller, a
former resident of this city, is alive to-
day is due to the fact that he did not
open box that he received on New
Years day. Mr.. Miller is now master
mechanic of the West Milwaukee shops
and the Associated Press dispatches tell
story to the effect that an attempt was
made to kill him and to wreck the mas
ter mechanics office with an Internal
machine. 1t seems that on New Years
Cay he received what purported to be a
box of cigars and in attempting to open
the box he heard a grating sound as if
matches We're rubbing against stones.
This aroused his suspicion and he placed
the box outside and sent for an officer
of the company. Examination proved
that the box contained an Internal ma
chine.
Mr.. Miller was foreman of the local
Milwaukee shops for fifteen years and he
departed from here two years ago to ac-
cept the position of master mechanic III
the West Milwaukee shops. Mr.. and
Mrs Miller visited here on Christmas
and their many friends in this city will
rejoice to hear that the Internal ma
chin didn't get in it's work.

HovENcAMP's STRANGE CASE.

by the Cars and Burned.
Binghamton N. Y, Jan. 10.-John Ho-
vencamp, of Jasper county. Iowa, was
supposed to have been killed at Carbon
dale, Pa, and his body was duly in
tered. Two days later he was arrested
on the street in Scranton, Pa. for shoot
ing at an officer. The case is a strange
one, made more SO by the fact that Ho-
yencamp has such pronounced type of
features that, once seen, they would sell
dom be forgotten. He came to this sec
ton from the west, and his home is near
ColfaX, in Jasper county. While pass
ing near the Carbonate depot he was
run over and instantly killed. The body
was identified by several people who
knew him, and was duly inferred. Ho-
vencamp had been wanted in this city
for shooting at an officer and as Detec-
tive Stephenson was passing down a
Scranton street two days after the fu-
reral he saw Hovencamp and caused
him to be placed under arrest. Those
who identified him as the dead man are
confident he is the same person, but Ho-
yencamp refuses to make any explana-
ton of the strange occurrence.

Upon motion of Hopkins. of Illinois.
the house went into committee of the
whole and took up the consideration of
bill to create permanent census Of
flee.
In reply to questions Mr.. Hopkins said
that 200 clerks We're now employed In
the bureau. If the pending bill We're
passed the force would be reduced every
year until 1910. when they would num-
her 1900. If the bill passed it was hoped
the other departments could absorb the
present temporary clerks who by exec
utive order could be made eligible for
transfer. Several members suggested the
kill be amended to provide that the
Clerks be eligible for transfer. Burkett.
CT Nebraska, opposed the bill, contend
ing it was improper and inopportune
and asserting the course of the debate
today demonstrated that the proposed
legislation had not been well matured.
He declared the only persons
who had agitated the sub
ject of permanent census
had been the superintendent of past
censuses and others directly interested.
Eurkett said there was nothing in the
bill to keep census clerks In office. 1t
was destined to keep only chiefs of di-
visions and higher officers in the present
positions He thought the bill should he
recommitted.
