RELIEVED FUEL PRESSURE.
Milder Weather Also Stimulated Gen.
eral Trade Conditions.

New York, Feb. 2S.-R. G. Dun Com
pany's weekly review OF trade saws:
Milder weather not only accelerated
the demand for many lines Of mer-
chandise. but relieved the pressure
for fuel, which threatened to become
a serious matter, and incidentally "a
cilitated efforts to reduce the freight
congestion. With no other retarding
feature than the holiday lull, business
fully maintains its gratifying position.
Returns Of both domestic and foreign
trade are fully equal to those OF the
same month last Or and In many
cases there are marked gains. The
people are consuming on a scale never
before equalled as evidenced by the
enormous distribution and continual
inquiries for prompt shipment. Firm
ly held quotations also bear testimony
TO the fact that demand Is often great
er than supply.

to Expedite Business.

Washington. Feb 2S.-The Demo-
Gratis of the house carried out their
threat of Thursday that il Mr. Butler
was unseated they would do everything
in their power to block legislation from
now until congress expires, March 4
The result was another stormy ses-
sion, prolonged from IL o'clock in the
morning until almost 7 o'clock in the
evening Roll call succeeded roll cal.
and at every pause party passion
manifested itself in bitter and acrimo.
NOUS denunciation Two special rules
were brought in to expedite applop
tion bills and continue the legislation
OF Thursday in order TO reduce as
much as possible the minority's power
to obstfuct legislation. During the
debate on the rule the Democrats
voiced theii condemnation of what
they denominatej Thursdays out
rageous action of the chair The Re.
publicans declared that they were
willing to assume responsibility for
what had been done anS A.plalned the
necessity Of the drastic rules present
ed during the day. Mr.. Da.zei saying
u
the Democrats could consume l3.
hours, or q legislative days, on roll
calls on the senate amendments to the
appropriation bills.
Death to Minor Measures.
1t was agreed on both sides that the
present situation sounded the death
knell of practically everything except
the appropriation bills. The friends
of the omnibus public building bill
who were threatening to defeat the
rules if they were not modified to in
clude their measures, were placated
by promise, which it was understood
was given that their bill would be
covered by a special rule to be brought
in later
Even with the special rules in opera
ticn, getting appropriation bills into
ious process, an eight-hour session
and thirteen roll calls being necessary
to get the agricultural sundry civil,
military academy and postoffice appro-
priation bills into conference and to
adopt the conference report on the
Indian appropriation bill. All over.
lures from the Republican side to the
Democrats to induce the latter to
abandon their filibustering have been
] fruitless and there is every indication
that they will continue their present
tactics to the end Of the session.

FORBES THE VICTOR.
cleanly and nseisiveiy Defeats Eng.
lands Bantam Champion.


Detroit. Feb. 2S.-England tried for
another championship during the
evening and scored another defeat.
Her champion bantamweight, Andy
Tokell. was beaten cleanly and deci.
sively by Harry Forbes, the champion
bantamweight of the world.
To say that Forbes was given the
decision at the end OF ten rounds
comes far from telling the measure
OF his victory. He won the fight from
start to finish, had the better of every
round. with the possible exception OF
the seventh. in which he held his own,
and proved himself the superior of
the English champion in everything
that goes to make a champion with
the exception of courage, and in this
he was equal to Tokell
Toi<eli Disappointment.
The latter was something of a dis.
appointment He showed himself a
strong. rugged youngster. with a world
OF power behind his blows, and proved
himself game to the core. He took
heavy punishment and came back
every time in every round willing and
eager to fight again. In skill he was
outclassed by Forbes. who hit where
and how he pleased. and as many
times as Tokell would take it without
coming to clinch or breaking
ground. He pounded the English
mans left eye shut and cut the left
side OF his face until it looked ike the
aftermath Of session with a sausage
machine. while Forbes had not a
mark. He drove Tokel's head back
with straight lefts. turned him around
with right hooks and back again with
left swings. He fought always on the
aggressive anj from the second round
to the end there was never a doubt

the apartment house in which he lived,
with the wife screaming and weeping
at their heels, and al there shot dead
by the man whom he thought had
wronged him.
This man was William Earl Dobson,
q cashier in a stock brokers' office. He
lied. and the police have ser out a
general alarm for him. Peppler was
about 26 years old and a clerk. He had
not been married long.

Moye He Will Try to Head Il Off.
Washington. March 31-President Roose-
welt and Attorney General Knox are high
ly elated at the first operation whereby
expediting the law has brought the suit
against the Northern Securities
to a point where it will be heard in the
supreme court within a year, and are pre-
pairing to vigorously press both this case
and tho governments suit against the
beef packers.
The fact that the packers are evidently
campaigningto organize another combina-
ton. designed especially to evade the let
ter of the statutes under which they were
formerly prosecuted, has caused the off,
Gals OF the department Of justice to re-
double their inspection OF the operations
OF the packers. The publicity aroused by
the of the National Packing
company last week. it is said. will be per-
mitted to die away before the packers
make n new move. No fewer than
four United States district attorneys In
various parts Of the United States have
been instructed to report anything that
looks to them like the least tnfraction of
either the old statutes or the new anti
trust laws enacted at the last session.
Ihere has been much gossip here to the
effect that the National Packing com
pany, in the organization Of which the
names Of the Swift. Armour and Morris
companies were conspicuous by their alb
sence, was formed for the purpose of
testing the antitrust laws, and that the
firms named would come in If the laws
1alled to AFFECT The corporation.

GRAND Z MAIDS.
BY Ada Patterson.

II shall never marry" said Millicent
shattuck. THAT question is forever
settled" 4
An odd look Of determination quite
out of harmony with her gentle fea-
lures punctuated the sentence. She
was the flower of the summer girl type,
except for that shadow of in1exible de-
termination. She was sitting in a ham
mock Whose Roman stripes were a
brilliant background for the cloudy
frou-frou Of her half transparent white
gown, the snowflake suggestion of her
tiny hands and the adorable profile Of
her girlish face.
The man who sat at her feet on the
piazza steps looked tenderly at her,
with a half smile.
VIVA will you do, dear?" IA
II will enlist in the army Of grand
old maids"
But why?"
Because I want to do some Of the
worlds work"

their time and thoughts and energies 2"
Perhaps not, although I think they
might have done practically the same

since it was the one thing, as she told
