Troops Return Home.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 31.-The
Fourth and Eighth regiments, which
have been stationed in the Wyoming
valley for some time past, broke camp
yesterday and returned to their homes.
The entire coal region is now peace
full. The only place where trouble is
looked for is in the Lehigh region,
where the individual operators and
the miners have failed to come to an
agreement. Some of the troops may
be kept in that section until the min
ers return to work. Yesterday was a
busy day at the mines and the output
of coal was heavy.

tos repeated this request, and General
Salazar replied by cable telling him
to come. Much is expected from the
approaching conference between these
men
y is also a fact that Tuesday the
revolutionary general, Herrera sent a
communication to Governor Salazar
insisting upon conference with the
governor OF Panama, and saving that
from it he belived peace would result
General Herrera's desire for a peace

FOR JUSTICE TO MARINES.
House Passed Senate Revenue Cutter
Service Bill,

Washington, April 4.-The senate
bill to promote the efficiency of the
revenue cutter service passed the
house yesterday by q vote of 1876 to 40.
The opponents of the measure fought
1t to the last ditch. At the very end
they attempted to filibuster, but were
swept aside by the overwhelming ma
jority in favor of the measure. The
bill gives the commanding officers of
the revnue cutter service relative rank
as follows: Captains with majors In
the army and liutenant commanders in
the navy; first lieutenants with cap
tains in the army and lieutenants
in the navy; second liuetenants with
first lieutenants in the army and lieu
tenants (junior grade) in the navy,
and third lieutenants with second lieu
tenants in the army and ensigns in the
navy. 1t gives the officers of the SER
vice longevity pay equivalent to the
corresponding rank in the army and
provides for their retirement with
three fourths pay for disability orsup-
on reaching the age limit of "a years
An amendment to the bill was agreed
to which provides that when naval
and revenue cutter vessels are thrown
together the former shall never be I'M
der the command of the latter except
by specific direction of the president
Of the United States.

Frederick Funston was the guest of

the Ohio society. In response to a toast
he said in part:
After the first three or four months
of fighting the Filipinos forsook all civ
ilized methods of fighting and began a
guerilla warfare of sort unparalleled
in history. They killed directly or by
torture nearly 1000 of their own coun-
trymen during the years 1900 and 1901
because they would not contribute
money to support the insurgent cause.

AFTER ToNrINE COMPANIES.
Attorney General Prout, Of Nebraska,
Declares War on Shady Associations

Attorney General trout, OF Neoraeka
Declares War on Shady Associations
Lincoln. Neb.. April 4.-AttcrneS
General Prout, of Nebraska, has de.
clared war on the tontine home loan
companies and has filed suit before
the supreme court seeking to drive
them from the state. ~
In recent months the tontine con-
Germs organized in other states have
been excluded by provision of the
statutes requiring them to get certi-
ficate from the state banking board be-
fore being able to transact business.
Several companies, mostly OF Kansas
City. made such application but their
methods were deemed unsafe by the
board and certificates We're denied.
Since then foreign companies, ac-
cording to the allegations Of the attor-
ney general, have evaded the law by
prevailing upon Nebraska men to in
corporate within the state after which
the companies were absorbed by the
foreign companies. ~.
The statute has been construed to be
lame as to companies organized within
the state, but the attorney general after
investigation has decided that he can
proceed against. home companies the
sam as foreign and accordingly, has
asked the supreme court5to declare the
charters of the companies forfeited
and to issue a judicial decree barring
them hereafter from the state.

TERRITORY SCHOOL. PLANS.
Laid Before Congress by seoretar,
Hitchcock.

Laid Before Congress by Secretary
Hitchcock.
Washington, April 4.-The report OF
Mr.. Frank A. Churchill on the condition
of the schools in the Indian Territory
has been sent to congress by Mr.. Fitch
cock, secretary of the interior, The re-
port, as outlined in these dispatches
last week, is most exhaustive review
of the educational conditions in the ter
ritory, and presents a plan for the rails
ing of revenue for the support of free
school system. Mr.. Churchill presents
detaile. facts concerning the five civ
ilized tribes, with statistics of area,
population, illiteracy, and subjects of
like character He concludes his re-
port with the following summary and
suggestions:
Il find that upwards of 100000 per-
sons of school age reside in the Indian
Territory without free schools Nearly
100000 in Indian funds are expended
annually for the maintenance of tribal
schools, in which only from 1900 to
$4,000 pupils are enrolled. Only thirty
towns authorized to do so have raised,
by levying taxes for free schools, to-
tai of about $4,000. There is not less
than s50,000,000 of taxable property, to
which additions are being made almost
hourly, upon which a tax of one half
of per cent would yield revenue of
s. 10000. An occupation tax would
yield about $4,000, and poll tax not
less than 100000. To this from $780,
900 to 100000 could be added by taxes
from railroads, telegraphs, telephone
and other corporation franchises. A
small average income from land leases
would amount to 100000. This would
give a ttptal of $4,000 annually, and, in
my opinion, that amount can be raised
without proving a burden upon. any
person.

TEXAS LAN NOT VALID
Anti Trust Measure Declared I'm.
constitutional in Lone
Star State.
Three Successive Acts Passed
by the Legislature Are
Wiped Out.
Exemption Clauses in the Law
Found to Be a Fatal
Defect.

| Austin. Tex, April 4.-The decision
of the third court of civil appeals that
the Texas anti trust law is unconsti-
tutional has proved severe blow. The
importance of the decision will be APP
preciated when it is recalled that Texas
| is the only state that has succeeded
/ in making any Roadway against
trusts. For two years the attorney
general has been waging was on COM
mercial combinations and had made il
exceedingly warm for the combinations
against which the law was aimed.
The two decisions furthermore wipe
out at once the three Texas anti
trust laws passed within the last few
years.s'4e
The Waters Pierce Oil Company, a
branch of the Standard company, was
continually embarrassed by the legal
representatives of Texas. and one OF
the cases in which a decision was rem
dered was that Of the Waters-Pierce
company, up on appeal from MeLen-
non county.
The other case was that of the Ship
pers'< Compress and Warehouse COM
pany, on appeal from Travis county.
In both cases the court of civil appeals
affirmed the decision Of the lower
courts, and declared the antitrust
acts under which the suits were
brought to be unconstitutional.
The suit against the 9waters-Pierce
OIL company was brought by the state
to recover penalties for violation of
the antitrust statute Of 1899, while
the suit against the Shippers Com
press and Warehouse company was for
the purpose of FORGETTING its charter
for violation of the antitrust acts OF
1895 and 1899.
Under these decisions, therefore, all
three Of the antitrust acts of Texas
are Unconstitutional s.et 80.
The decision will hasten the CONSOLE
dation of many lumber dealers in the
Kimble combine, the initial steps look
ing to which were taken some three
months ago, only to be delayed by pro-
ceedings instituted by the attorney
general.
The court held in its opinion that the
decision or the united states supreme
court in the case Of Connolly and Dee
VS.. The Union Sewer Pipe Company,
from Illinois, vitiated the several Tex
as acts. because they were cumulative
to each other.
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice Fisher, and it recites that the
court does not consider that section
of the antitrust statutes Of 1895
was repealed by the act of 1899.
In affirming the decision OF the lower
court in the Waters Pierce case the,
court holds that 1t is not criminal
proceeding. and, therefore. the court
has no jurisdiction. The question Of
the constitutionality Of the antitrust
act being included in the opinion in
the shippers case. it is cited in affirm
ing the oil case.
