BENCH WARRANT
 FOR WAINWRIGHT
INVESTIGATION OF THE CENTRAL TRACTION SCANDAL IN ST. LOUIS BEGAN YESTERDAY-28 LEGISLATORS sUBPoENAED.

St. Louis, January 29.-This afternoon Judge Wood issued bench warrant for the arrest of Ellis Wainwright, president of the St. Louis Brewing Company and director of the St. Louis and Suburban Company. The arrest could not be made because, it was stated, MT. Wainwright is now in New York, where he makes his home.
 Investigation of the Central Traction bribery scandal, which was unearthed in 1898, was commenced by the grand jury today, under the direction of Circuit At torney Folk Mir. Folk declares that the state will not rest with the Suburban investigation, but will go back to the Central Traction scandal and the North and South bill. The circuit attorney says that the state is confident that bribery was attempted or accomplished in both these instances, and he Is prepared to sift the matter to the bottom.
 All of the twenty-eight members of last years House of Delegates have been subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury. Charles P. Turner, president of the Suburban Capital, was before the grand jury for a time today, after which he was closeted with Assistant District-Attorney Hancock.
 Late this afternoon it was stated on au- thority at the four courts that bench war rants other than that for Wainwright have been issued, and that additional ar rests will be made before tomorrow.

 Large Earnings.
PRESSING DETAILS

New York January 29.-A preliminary report covering the operations of the Uni ted States Steel Corporation since 1t came into existence ten months ago was made to the stockholders today. It was de- signed to familiarize the share-owners with the financial status of the company and the situation in the market where 1t buys and sells. report signed by both Charles M. Schwab and Ebert H. Gary, declared present business and outlook viewed ahead through 1902 to be highly satisfactory. The report said:
 "The outlook for the year 1902 is very bright. Everything indicates that all the facilities of each subsidiary company Will be taxed to their utmost to supply the demand that Is being made. The actual business now booked, and of which ship ment is being called for faster than 1t can be supplied, amounts to more than half the total combines annual capacity of all the companies. The heavier pro- ducts, like rails, plates and structural material are sold up to the productive capacity of the mills until nearly the end of the year. With more highly finished products, the consumption In each case is greater now than at the corresponding periods in 1901, which it should be re- memDereus was 4n dpHoiAhaiiy hSo'J year"
 Discussing prices the report said they could have been advanced but that 1t was decided to be better to refrain from doing so, the company believing that the existing prices were sufficient to yield a fair return on capital and maintain the properties in satisfactory physical conditions, and the collateral advantages to be gained in the long run in refus- ing to advance prices would be of sub stantial and lasting value not only to the companies but also to the general business interests of the country. The company reasserted that its prices had not only a re-assuring effect upon the trade but contributes to the restoration of influence in the general business sit- uation.
 The report said that great progress had been made in the general plan to har- monize the work of many plants, to se- cure perfect cooperation and to effect economy in manufacture, but while the end had not been reached favorable re- suits might be expected.
 The current liabilities on Novem Der 30 were stated at s50.S69,63 and the sur plus of the corporation and the sub- sidiary companies was placed at $174,S44- z29. The cost of the properties owned and operated by the several federated companies was given as $1.134, 394S52. The company is operating on practically cash basis to customers.

commander-in-chief could not and did not exercise command over tne squadron at any time during the actual conflict, Com modore Schley. as second in command of the American forces before Santiago and as senior line officer on the spot during every moment of actual battle, could and did exercise authority and command over the American forces actually engaged.
 Recognized Schley's Seniority.
 Further argument on this question of command is to the effect that Cooksand Clark, the two ship captains present at the surrender of the Colon, recognized Schley's seniority, and also that Samp- sons "order of battle" failed entirely as soon as the Spanish squadron succeeded in passing beyond the westernmost ex- tremity of the American vessels. All of which, it Is submitted, goes to prove con- clusively that the individual opinion of Dewey was eminently proper and wholly justified by the evidence and the naval regulations.
 Exhibit elaborates and sustains the statements made in the petition respect ing the passage of the flying squadron from Key West to Cienfuegos The court declared that Commodore Schley did not proceed with the utmost dispatch off Cien- fuegos."
 counsel Qeclare that the court erred m the statement; that the sailing orders to the squadron did not direct 1t to proceed with dispatch off Cienfuegos." But the only direction on that point was that you should establish a blockade off Cienfuegos with the least possible delay" It is declared that this left Schley discre- ton; that he obeyed these orders and that there was no delay, the squadron proceeding at ten knots per hour. The petitioner declares that this passage was both expeditions and effective and Admiral Schley's conduct undeserving of censure wherefore the majority opinion should be set aside and Dewey's opinion approved as otherwise commanders in the future will be deprived of all discretion and the service will be injured. The petitioner objects to the majority report that Com modore Schley did not blockade the port of Cienfuegos as closely as possible" and he objects to the use of the word "ciose' as referring to distance alone holding that it means "effectiveness', adequacy and that all of the testimony showed that the blockade of Cienfuegos was adequate; that no vessel entered or departed without his permission and that all proper and

WAR TAXES MAY BE
 REMOVED ENTIRELY
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE WILL WORK ON RE- DUCTIoN BILL ToDAY-WILL AMOUNT TO $es,ooo,ooo.

Washington on, January 29.-The Republi- can members of the ways and means committee held a private conference to- night and decided to frame a bill for the reduction of war revenue taxes before proceeding further with the subject of Cuban reciprocity. Work on the war revenue reduction bill will begin tomor- row. It is pretty well understood that the majority is prepared to favor a meas ure for a large reduction practically equal to an end of the war tax and ag- gregating about s68000,000.
 The restriction of recent hearings to beer and tea led to the belief that reduc- tions might be confined to these two articles, but the sentiment now appears to have been favorable to more general reduction. At the conference today 1t was the prevailing view that as Cuba had been the cause of mourning the war revenue taxes, the burden should be re- moved from this country before consider ing the extent of relief to be granted to Cuba.

BOERS DID NOT ASK
 HOLLANDS MEDIATION
pr. Leyds Denies That the Dutch Premier Is Requested to
 Propose Peace.

Paris, January 29.-The Patrio this morning publishes an interview with Dr. Leyds who denies that the representa- tive of the South African republics in Europe asked for the mediation of Hol- land in South African affairs, or author ized Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier, to make propositions for peace.
 There can be no conditions for the British government to examine, says Dr. Leyds, there is only one condition; the British government knows sufficiently well and need examine 1t further.
 Prom the intentional ambiguity of MT. Balfour's statement in the House of Commons, it is evident that this is a mere manoeuvere."

GOVERNOR RENDERS
 HIS DECISION.
State of Alabama,


 Office of the Governor, Montgomery. In the matter of the proceedings Of general courtmartial, convened under Special Order No. 62 A. G: O., c. s., on charges and specifications preferred by Col E. L. Higdon, Third Infantry, A. N. G., against Lieut.-Col. o. Kyle, Third h. fantry, A. N. G., and the findings and Judgment of the court thereon, as shown by the record of the case.
 1. The findings on the first charge are each of the specifications hereunder, dated October 1, 1901; are approved.
 2. The charges and specifications dated September g, 1901, are laid under the 20th, Fist and 61st articles of war, respectively. To pass upon the findings thereon it would be necessary to determine the con stitutionality of the statute of this state regulating the volunteer military forces of this state, approved February 23, 1899. This question has been recently pending before the courts of this state, and deem it not for the good of the service to pass upon it in advance of a judicial de- cision. The findings on said charges and specifications are, therefore, neither ap- proved nor disapproved.

 "All of which is most respectfully sub mitted.''
 Question of Command
 Exhibit A is an argument and a resume of testimony concerning the question of command during the battle of Santiago and comprises. fully two-thirds of the sixty-two printed petition which make up the petition and exhibits. It discusses the right of the court to consider the duestion of command the fact as to whether or not it actually did so; the propriety of Dewey's opinion in regard to that question and the action requisite to exact justice on this point. It is stated that the precept and instructions directed the court to thoroughly inquire into all the circumstances bearing upon Schley's conduct and the subject of the investiga- ton" and it is argued that under the general, as we'll as under this specific authority. the court had full power to in- yestigate and was not required to limit the inquiry to Schley's conduct in con-
