IMMORTAL DECLARATION
WITHDRAWN FROM VIEW
Public No Longer to Inspect Jefferson,s
Masterpiece.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a. =
The Declaration of Independence is to
be seen no more by the public. An or
der has been issued that henceforth
the historic manuscript shall be kept
under lock and key in a great fire-proof
safe. This decision was reached today
as the result of an examination of the
document by committee of the Amer
lean Academy of Sciences now in ses-
sion IN this city, who acted at the in
stance of Secretary Hay.
Most of the text of the Declaration is
still iesible, but only one or two of
the signatures can be made out. The
committee recommended that the Dec
iaration be shut in an air and light
ught case and kept from exhibition.
Today the document was photZ./ phed
and then locked up.

ing the arrival of Milwaukee train
from Chicago yesterday moaning, for
the joyous greeting was cut short by
the actions of young man who drop
ped his luggage and clasped her in his
arms. Besides clasping her in his arms
the young man did other things which
are said to be against the rules adopt
ed by certain Eastern railroads.
When the greetings were over and
a dozen questions had been asked and
answered, the young man picked up his
baggage and was ready to walk with
the girl, when another young man who
had been waiting patiently nearby, ap-
preached.
well, old boy, you are partial,

why, Dick; you here?" Then there
was more and-shaking. Dick was the
girls brother.
After many hurried explanations the

SMUGGLING CASES IN
PORTO RICO SETTLED
Chief OF Bureau of Internal Revenue
Compelled to Resign.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico April "a
A settlement of the smuggling cases
has been effected by Treasurer Wis

be dismissed from the district court.
This has been done. The amount of
the fines imposed is not known.
John S. Hord, chief of the bureau of
internal revenue, was asked to resign
office because he instituted the prose-

loughby said:
Mr.. Hord rendered his resignation
April %. 1t was Immediately accept
ed by me and Mr.. Hord's participation
in the work of the treasury department

from the fact that Mr.. Hord, during
my absence, caused information to be
filed before a justice of the peace
against Commander Mentz and others
without my knowledge or authority to
do so, and without consulting in any

THE MANAGERS STATEMENT.

At conference held today be-
tween the Grand Officers of the
Railway Brotherhood, the General
Committee of Conductors and
Trainmen and myself, an agree
ment was reached upon all points
at issue except the so-called
double-header question. The de-
mand of the men is that double
trains of more than thirty cars, or
as an alternative that the COM
pany agree not to run any double
header trains. The Great North
ern runs practically no double
headers except In mountain dis
trlcts, where helper engines are
used to help trains over heavy
grades. The men do not object to
such use OF helpers, and there is
therefore no question at Issue be-
tween US and our men except their
demand that clause be inserted
In our schedule agreeing to pay
double pay or abolish double head
Ing.
The reason the company objects
to inserting such a clause in train
mems schedule is that it permits
the employees to dictate in a matter
not aHecting any interest of theirs
and In a way that may very seri-
ousiy afTect the company'S ability
to economically operate its proper
ty: 1t Is not matter of any con-
sequence to any trainman how
many engines pull given tonnage
TO pay man In Montana twice
as much for a given days work
as a man in Minnesota because the
Montana man rides on a train haul
ed by two engines and the Mime
sofa man on a train hauled by one
Gnntn6 In
to the Minnesota man and would
arbitrarily Increase the company's
already high expense because of
the topography OF the country.
ne men make no claim that the
work on double header Is worth
twice as much as the work on a
train hauled by one engine. They
frankly admit that il is their desire
to prescribe rules that will make it
necessary for the railways to en-
ploy the largest possible number
of train crews. The fact that this
concession has been granted on
other lines, where double headline
Is a common practice, is not good
reason why 1t should be granted
on the Great Northern, where prac-
ticalIy no doubIe-h heading Is done.
The Great Northern has spent
many millions of dollars in pur-
chasing heavy power and in reduc-
ing It's grades so that double-hea
ers would not be required and
large trains could be hauled bV one
engine. and it is still spending LARGE
sums for the same purpose. TIE
demand of the men Is for the riqi,t
to dictate the makeup of trains.
MS is a matter that the company
reserves the right to handle. The
matter has now gone to vote of
the men on the line. am salts
ned that they will vote against
strike on an Issue where neither
their wages nor conditions of serv-
ice are affected, and where to win
is to lose, for If they strike and
win, they lose the time 1t takes to
win the strike, and after 1t Is won
they have no material thing not al
ready granted to them.

THE TRAINMEN's STATEMENT

To the ST. Paul Globe: 4
The disagreement between the 4
company and the conductors and 4
. trainmen on the Great Northern ,
railway has resulted from the fact
, that the men upon the line Insist 4
, upon the same amount of consider 4
. alton, both In regard to pay and 4
y the conditions under which they ,
y shall labor. as have been granted ,
10 employees in the same grade on
other properties. This has been 4
. refused by the company.
Every transcontlnentaI line in 4
the United States, as we'll as all 4
the properties West, Northwest and 4
southwest of Chicago and ST. 4
Louis, has granted precisely the 4
same terms demanded of the Great 4
Northern line. with the exception 4
, OF five properties centering in Chi 4
. cago upon which settlement Is
, now In progress, together with a
rev small properties where action 4
mas been delayed from various I
0 causes.
. The refusal of the Great North
ern Is simply an attempt to evade I
y the limitations in operation which

other lines and has, In a few In I
stances, offered few cents more, ,

she would recover. Miss Cranes cloth

desperate struggle. The wound on her

received. This was apparently made
with heavy hammer or club. The

sANGuINARY CONFLICT.

Colonial Secretary Chamberlain an
nounced in the British House of Com
mons vest erday that as result of the
British military operations in the Sokoto
and Kano districts, ending with the cap
ture of the Emir of Kano, 100, 600 square
miles of territory had been added to
northerh Nigeria and would be admins
tered by the government of that territory.
Interesting details have been received in
London of the capture of Sokoto March
IA by the British column commanded by
Colonel Morland. The engagement lasted
"a hours. The British numbered about
500 men, with four quick-iring guns
and four maxims. The enemy's horse
and foot were estimated to number some
6. 900, their rifemen being armed with
modern rifles and using smokeless powder.
The British camped during the night OF
March ! one and one half miles from
Sokoto, after hard march Of 100 miles
from Kaura, with hut little water and
having passed through difficult county.
At daybreak March IA the British
moved out in square formation towards
the valley in which Sokoto lies. Immedi-
ately after the British appeared over a
ridge the Fulanis charged with fanatical
bravery, undeterred by a whitening
maxim and rifle fire.
They had no proper leadership, but
the isdlated bands continued to adj
vance ol er heaps of dead and dying,
often Only individuals reaching within a
yard of the square, where, refusing quar-
ter, they were shot down while shouting
"Allah !" with their last breath.
The main body of the natives was f.

ed the city, which consisted mostly OF
matched houses. Its semi-ruined walls
extended seven miles round the place
and were pierced by eight gates.
A few days later the populace returned,
and the Fulanis rendered their submis-
sion to Commissioner Lugard, who ar
rived March 19 and installed anew emir
The British then retired toward the coast,

HORRIBLE FATE.

New chapters are added daily to the
horrible stoly of the atrocities that
marked the massacre of the Jews in
Kisinefi, the capital Of the Province Of
Bessarabia, Russia, and adjoining towns
and villages. Letters received in New
York by relatives Of oppressed Jews are
gradually making a complete tale OF hor-
ror without parallel in modern ciyiliza-
ton. The following is an exact from a
letter written to A. Goldberg, of Phila-
delphia, by his brother Isaac Goldberg,
of Kisinineff. 1t is description, stra ght-
forward and dispassionate, of the almost
inconceivable brutality of the murder OF
a pure and beautiful young girl.
"You surely remember Esther, the
beautiful daughter of Israel Bulgar?
Two weeks ago she was engaged to a
Young man from Ungheni. Now she is
dead, and she died a frightful death.
When the ricts began she hid herself in
the cellar of Alter Hahn Leihs. A
Young Russian boy knew of her hiding
place. When the murderers ran from
house to house, robbing and killing the
Jews, the boy pointed out to them
Esther's hiding place. About 10 strong
men entered the cellar. Esther's ter
rible cries of agony were heard through
out the entire street for over an hour.
Then she was dragged out. Every piece
of clothing was torn from her body.
The faces of the men were scratched.
There stood Esther, bent and crying.
In the meantime one man came out
from the cellar cursing and holding one
hand to a wounded eye. He snatched
knife from his girdle and plunged il
into Esther's back. She fell down
dead. Better so. Anyway, she could
not live any longer after what had hap
pened."
