Undoubted evidence shows

that they have thus secured

All of these guilty persons,
who attempt to vote, must be,

since the commencement of the
present rebellion, taken up arms

such person attempts to per-

1.-The Toreador, musical comedy in
two acts by James 7. Tanner and Harry

in series of humorous complications
remarkable for their comic interest. was
simply fine. 1t gave him wide scope to
display his versatility and TO introduce
that peculiar style of stage humor for
which he is noted. He proved himself
especially strong in the scenes where the
timid and somewhat unsophisticated foot

CAVE A HEARING
interstate Commerce Com
mission Hears a Report
ABOUT THROUGH RATES
Only Recognized Steamer Can
Secure the Given Rate.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Interstate
commerce commission today gave hear
ing on its proposed requirement that af-
ter January /, 1904, the tariffs on export
and import traffic be published and filed
with the commission the same as do
mestjc tariffs. A large number ofrepre-
sentatives of both the railroads and the
senate attended The railroads contend
cd that they have only made a fair ad
vance on domestic traffic. During the
session an admission was made by Frank
Waterhouse, representing the Boston
Steamship company of Seattle, of dis
eliminating contract between that COM
pany and the Northern Pacific railroad.
Mr. Waterhouses was discussing the 75c
through rate from Manila to st. Paul,
equally divided between the water line
and the railroad.
Does it not come to this asked the
chairman, that you want the Northern
Pacific road TO carry stuff from the ocean
line to St Paul for 371ac as a fair propo-
eition.'' Mr.. Warehouse: IF brought
over on a tramp steamer they won't take
It,"
Chairman Knapp: 'Why not?"
Mr.. Warehouse: Because they have
q contract with waterline companies
which prohibits it,
Chairman Knapp: 1.-The Northern Pa
cific have an arrangement with you
under which they will not carry any stuff
except you bring it over in your steam
ers?"
Mr.. Waterhouse: II mean they will not
take it at the same rate. They would
not make the same through rate to a
tramp sailing ship or tramp steamer that
they would to the regular line"
This admission caused excitement and
general counsel NJ. D. Grover of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
took the stand to explain the situation.

MATCHED IN PRISON
Ex-Convict Saye GraveIie Planned the
Dynamite Scheme

Helena. Mont, Dec. 17.-In the trial of
Isaac Gravelle, charged with dynamit-
ing property of the Northern Pacific rail-
way company it developed today that the
plot against the railroad was Matched
in the Deer Lodge penitentiary years
ago. An ex-convict named Murphy tes-
titled that Gravelle, who was then in
thep enitentiary. told him that he had
a scheme of getting money from the rail-
road. Most of the day was spent in ex-
pert testimony by which it was sought
to prove that six of the threatening let
tiers had been written in the penitentiary
and smuggled out of thep rison by Ora
velIe when he was discharged last July.
A tablet in evidence and state counsel
said he would prove that Gravelle had
borrowed the tablet from school girl.
for the purpose of writing letter. The
tablet paper was the same as that on
which four threatening letters were writ
ten.
This afternoon Luther Mills. postmaster
at Cascade, identified Gravelle as the
man who came to the Cascade postoffice
on the evening of October I, last. and
got several sheets of paper and some en-
velopes. The paper had the manufactur-
ers brand, and the witness Identified
the threatening letter sent the Great
Northern as on the same paper, and also
the envelope as the same sort he had
sold Gravelle. Paper found in the coat
of Gravelle. after he was arrested Mills
said, was of the same sort he had sold to
the defendant.
Gravelle was also identified by two
witnesses as having been at Bozeman and
Chestnut at about the dates the Nor.h-
ern Pacific tracks were dynamited there

FOUL STRIKE RULE
That Is One Bone of Contention Be-
tween the Leagues.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE owners of the
American baseball league in annual meet
ing today rescinded the foul strike rule
adopted last year as an experiment and
declared in favor of a schedule of 154
games in order to meet the extension of
the national league schedule. The play
ing season will open on April Is.
The national league recently declared
in favor of the foul strike and it is the
general belief that it will be some time
before a satisfactory rule for both leagues
can be agreed upon.
