KILLED BY CRAZY STUDENT
Bulgarian Minister of Public Instruc-
ton Assassinated.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Feb. 6.-Minister of
Public Instruction Kamtcheff was as
s~assinated today in his study by a
Macedonian who pretended he want
ed to present a petition. The assas-
sin subsequently killed himself by
shooting.
The assassin who had been a stu
dent at the University of Sofia was
appointed to a professorship in a pro-
vincial town. Disappointed at not
being assigned to a position at the
capital he had threatened the murder
of M. Kamtcheff. The police knew Of
the mans threats and were also aware
that there were doubts as to his san
ity, but they allowed him to secure a
private audience with Kamtcheff and
the minister's murder followed.

Wool

Boston, Feb. 4.-The wool market
here presents few new features this
week. The demand is moderate while
values are held on a very firm basis.
Manufacturers are taking a fair
amount of wool from time to time at
full prices but there is an absence
of speculative feeling.
Owing to the heavy sales of wool
last fall together with the steady pick
ing up of good lots there is a consider
able shrinkage in the visible supply
of good territory woods and a buyer
now has a poorer choice from which
to make his selections. Values hold
firm at about 43@45c clean; a fair
basis for fine territory woods is about
47@4Sc, while some fancy lots are
calling for so cents; medium territory
woods are quoted at 5000 cents with
choice lines held at AZ.
Fleece woods are firm with sales of
Ohio washed delaine at 28kc and
choice Ohio Xxx and above at 27kc;
No. ! fleeces are firm at 26@26hc,
with sellers holding for &c.

TREATY-MAkiNG POWER.

omaha Bee: A very interesting and
important question has been raised
as to whether the treaty-making pow
er, lodged by the constitution in the
president and senate, involves the
right to make reciprocal trade agree
ments with foreign governments af-
fecting duties without any action on
the part of the house of representa-
tiyes, in which all revenue measures
must originate. Senator Cullom. in
an elaborate speech in the senate a
few days ago, %contended that the con-
currence of the house is not essential
to make a reciprocity treaty opera
tive, unless the treaty contains an ex-
press provision, as some of them have,
requiring action by the house of rep
resenatiyes. He also claimed that the

Union Pacific Will Provide Auto>1o.
bjIes for Park Tourists

The Union Pacific proposes 10 De
a strong bidder for National park trav-
el during the coming season. In con-
nection with the Oregon Short Line
that company will institute a novelty
in the way of regular travel.
The stages which have heretofore
been III from Monida will give way
to automobiles to be run by steam.
Passengers from the western entrance
are to be taken through the park On
the autos and back, thus assuring
faster time than by the old method,
besides offering an attraction to tour
lists which is believed will prove a
strong card.
1t is said that a complete equipment
has been ordered and that for delivery
with the opening Of the park season.
Experiments made are claimed to
have satisfied the Union Pacific of the
feasibility of the innotation and that
automobiles a be operated as cheap

satisfactory to tourists.

SIMPLY FOR EFFECT,

James Neill, the son of Thespis. has
struck a new advertising lead. In
stead of being robbed of his diamonds
or acting the part of a hero in saving
the life of some beautiful and wealthy
young woman, as some less original
man might have done to get his name
into the newspapers, he made a bluff
at taking the %initiatory degrees of the
Elks and then backed out after he had
made slight progress in that direction.
AS his reason for going no further
re pleads that the treatment he re-
ceived from some of those who were
was such as no serious minded gen
tleman" could possibly submit to and
that to have gone further would have
caused him to lose his ~self-respect and
forever after lower himself in his W
estimation. He also says something
about his valor in not allowing him
self to be "intimidated into the GUS
tomary cowardly submission to indig-
mites" which he alleges all candidates
must submit to before they are receiv-
ed into full brotherhood.
The trouble with Mr.. Neill seems
to be that he has been playing mimic
heroics so long and has become so
identified with a part which p~ortrays
a real soldier and brave man that he
is beginning to imagine himself to be
that character in real life and that
whether off or on the stage he is the
creature of the playwright's fancy. In
Offering offense to the order and it's
thousands of members all over the
country he forgets that the Elks owes
its existence to a member of his own
craft and that at first membership was
restricted to actors. With such gen.
tlemen eminent in the theatrical pro-
fession as Frederick Warde. the late
Edwin Booth, and hosts of others who
might be named identified with the
order and proud of their afhiation. it
seems strange that a mar no better
known to fame than Mr.. Neill should
feel prompted to declare himself in
suited and Inundated by beng requir-
ed to undergo what they underwent.
Had he allowed himself to go further
into the mysteries of the order than
he did, Mr.. Neill would probably
have learned that there are some
things connected with Elkdom worthy
even serious consideration of SO "seri-
Gus minded a gentleman" as he pro-
claims himself to be and that it
teaches lessons in humanity which he
would do well to learn. But Mr.. Neill
is securing the advertising and as this
is probably all he cares he is. no
doubt, satisfied.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

In all Difference to the OPINION OF the
Yellowstone Journal and with ASSN
ances of the most profound respectfof
the author of the editorial which ap-
peared in that paper recently anen1
the benefits it would be to Billings
if the proposed extension of the Bur-
lington were not built, The Gazette
and the people of the city most inter-
ested beg to differ from the colonel
and insist that a road to the north
would materially help us and be a
good thing for all. There is some
thing more to be considered than the
matter of the few dollars that now
come here because of the fact that the
terminus of the road happens to be at
the rich and productive country to
the north would come an expansion Of
the city's tarde and an increase in the
volume of business done by it's mer
chants that would appear in marked
contrast to the good which in the esti.
nation of the Journal Billings is de-
irving from the present arrangement.
If it is all the same to the Journal
Billings will continue to pull for
the extension and do all in it's power
to have it built as soon as possible
1t will attempt to do even more-use
its powers of argument and appeal
in the direction Of securing more di.
rect connection with the southwest
and, if possible, induce the Burling-
ton to build a spur to connect with
its Cody line at the point where that
road runs within a dozen or so miles
of this city. There is some trade to be
had in northern Wyoming that the
city would like to have and will make
a tremendous effort 10 secure it.

iting the time in which reciprocity
treaties could be negotiated was in
valid. because an infringement of the
treaty-making power Of the executive
guaranteed by the constitution.
The Illinois senator declared that
the terminating power is not derived
from a law of congress and cannot
be modified or limited by a law of con-
gress. He did not regard the consti-
tutional provision requiring that all
measures for raising revenue shall
originate in the house as making e
| essary the submission to that body
of a reciprocity treaty before it be-
comes effective. A reciprocity treaty,
said Mr.. Cullom, is not a bill and while
it is true that it reduces a duty which
has been laid by law, he maintained
that the treaty-making power has au-
thority to change any other act of
congress. Mr.. Cullom said: "This
question before us here has been he
fore the senate for a hundred years
The executive and the senate have,
taken one position and that is that a
treaty is the supreme law of the land.
That position has been sustained by
the supreme court. On the other
hand, during all these hundred years
the house has, as a rule, insisted that
it should be considered in reference
to certain treaties. That does not
relieve us, the senate, of the duty of
standing for our prerogatives and the
rights of the executive shall be main
tanned"
Manifestly this is a question which
ought to be definitely determined and
settled, since it is possible that at
some future time serious consequences
may result from leaving it an issue be-
tween the two houses of congress.
The fact that reciprocity agreements
have been negotiated and made eff
fective without any action by the
house of representatives does not on
stitute a necessarily binding prece
~~
dent, nor are the citations of supreme,
court opinions made by Senator Cul-
absolutely conclusive. 1t apnears
evident that the house of representa-
dves still holds to the view that
treaties affecting the revenues are
subject to consideration by that body.
Friday the house without division
adopted a resolution directing the
ways and means committee ito fully
investigate the question of whether
or lot the president, by and with the
and consent of the senate. and
independent of any action on the part
OF the house of representatives, can
negotiate treaties with foreign gov
ernments by which duties levied I'M
der an act Of congress for the purpose
OF raising revenues are modified or
repealed So far as the pending
reciprocity treaties are concerned, it
appears probable that the senate will
hold that the time limit prescribed
in the Dingley act for ratification hav-
ing expired congress is without power
to act upon the treaties.
