Steel Trust,s Earnings.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The quarterly meeting of the directors of tho United States Steel corporation was held at the offices, Fl Broadway, and the regu- lar dividends on common and preferred stocks were declared. The earnings for the last quarter of 1902 were said to be $31, ,339, ,s13 as against $29, 759, ,912 for the corresponding quarter in 1901. From the net earnings deductions are made of SPA 4,52S, 1S3 for sinking funds, depreciation and reserve funds and for a special fund set aside for deprecia- ton and improvements, of $15, 200, ,0o0 for interest on bonds, of $3,040,000 on sinking funds for bonds and of $56,- o52, ,869 for interest on the stocks. These deductions leave undivided profits amounting to $33,s41, ,565 for the year.

It is evident from the views ex- pressed by senators and members of congress that the passage of the anti trust bill depends entirely on the dic- tum of the trusts. If their attorneys advise them that the bill will prove in- nocuous they will gladly see it passed with the hope that, as was the case with the Sherman law, 1t will prove a sop to popular clamor. If, however, 1t Is found that its passage will prove detrimental to the interests of the trusts, neither the senate nor the house will pass 1t. Tn fact, the position of the house Is fairly well represented by the statement of Mir Jenkins. That MT Jenkins is opposed to all trust leg islation has for some time been appar- ent, and even the earnest efforts Of Representative Littlefeld are destined to meet defeat at MT Jenkins's hands. whom, it is claimed, was selected as chairman of the Judiciary committee because of his known opposition to trust legislation.

Tuhereulous Orchids.

Science, in it's memorable search for things hidden, has at last directed the eye of suspicion upon the orchid. M. Noel Bernard, French scientist, after painstaking research into the abstruse question of tuberculosis in plants, pro- nounced the whole orchideous family to be purely the product of vegetable infection" According to M. Bernard's s theory all orchids are, in their normal condition, infected in thoroughly de- fined manner, and the cultivation of the finest varieties is only possible un- dercertaan conditions of infection from their earliest development. The next question for determination is as to the relation between vegetable and human tuberculosis.-Ne (Eng- land) Chronicle.

The determination of the president

The determination of the president and his cabinet to use every power they possess to secure the ratification of the Cuban treaty promises to precip- itate an interesting fight in the senate. Senator A1drich and other extreme pro- tectionists see in the Cuban treaty the entering wedge in policy which will eventually result in material lowering of the Dingley schedules. They will, therefore oppose the convention to the last ditch. The claim Is already being made that the presidents action in ne- gotiating a treaty without the sanction of the house when that treaty affects the revenues is unconstitutional and injury to the farmers by the reduction of the tariff on sugar by 20 per cent is also to be made plea for defeating the convention. On the other hand, MT Roosevelt has said that he will re- gard the vote on the treaty as a test Of loyalty to himself, so that the fight promises to be unusually interesting.

The advocates of child labor laws in all parts of the country keep after the law makers in an endeavor to protect children and keep them out of the fac tories and mines until they are at least able to read and write. Tn Virginia the house of delegates has passed all act prohibiting factory labor flor chil- dren under 12, and regulating the labor of those between 12 and IA. The sen ate Is likely to concur, and the influ- ence of Virginia be put on the side of those who have so long been struggling for a similar law in Alabama, and hope to see the fruits of their labors when their Legislature meets next month. Unfortunately, however, an- other southern state nearer than Vir- ginia has kept its influence on the wrong side-the Georgia legislature having adjourned for four years with out enacting the moderate child labor law demanded. As Alabama also now has constitution providing for legis- lative sessions only once in four years, the corporate influences opposed to re- striction are likely to take courage from their success in Georgia and fight des- perately in Alabama also against any restrictive measure, knowing that the defeat of the reform this year gives them four years more of license. and puts upon the reformers the necessity of keeping up an agitation during a long period when public attention is hard to arouse because no legislative action is possible"

REPUBLICANS REVOLT.
Bracket, Brown and EIsberG Absent
 From Senatorial Caucus.


 From Senatorial Caucus.
 ALBANY, N. r., Jan 7.--With the exceptions of Senator Bracket of Sara toga, Senator Brown of Jefferson and Senator Elsberg of New York city all the Republican senators, numbering twenty-five were present at the caucus of Republican senators held last night in the senate chamber. While the air was rife with rumors there was noth- ing on the surface to indicate any con- siderable friction. Senator G. A. Davis of Buffalo, who was chairman of the caucus, smilingly declared after the adjournment, why. I wasn't aware that there were any absentees from our caucus"
 The business of the caucus was quickly transacted. Senator Davis of Erie was chairman and Senator Arm strong of Rochester secretary.
 Senator Malby nominated Senator Raines as the choice of the Republican senators for president pro tenn. of the senate, euloR1zfng his ability and elo- quence as a legislator and debater. Senator Marshall of Brooklyn seconded the nomination. The announcement of his selection was received with ap- plause. Senator Raines then addressed the caucus, thanking the senators for the confidence they had in him in se- lecting him for president pro tenn. He did not refer to the absentees. Tn fact there was no mention made of them at the caucus. These selections were then made:
 For clerk of the senate, James s. Whipple of Salamanca; for sergeant-at- arms, Charles R. Hotaling of Albany; for assistant sergeant-at-arms, W. w.. Adams of Hornellsville; for stenogra- pher, A. B. Sackett of Canandaigua; i; for principal doorkeeper, J. E. Gorss of Tonawanda: for first assistant door keeper, Charles Fl. Bernard of Broome. After the caucus Senator Bracket of Saratoga was asked why he had ab- sented himself from the Republican senatorial caucus. '
 Because" replied Senator Bracket, 1T have not revised my opinion of Sen ator Raines, whe believe is an unfit person for leader"
 "Does the revolt of yourself, Senator Brown and Senator Elsberg against the leadership of Senator Raines apply also to the reelection of Senator Platt" "I believe 1t does.' replied Senator Bracket.
 Does 1t mean that you will not vote fer Senator PlattT'
 "Yes, and I believe my conferrees, Senator Brown and Senator Elsberg, will also vote against Senator Platt."
 Senators Brown and Elsberg refused to discuss the matter. Prior to the cau- GUS the three senators conferred with Governor Odell, who subsequently said that he had endeavored to dissuade the senatorS from their purpose.

FIRST VIEW OF WHITE MAN
The Rifle and Burning Glass Were a Cause of Terror to the, Western
 Indians,

It is smalR wonder that the first view of white man created terror among the superstitious Indians. A striking instance of this occurred when the Wallawalla Indians first saw Capt. Clark, of the Lewis and Clark expedi- tion, says Youths Companion. Think ing to propitiate the savages and allay their fears of the white men, he planned to visit village of the Walla- wallas before the arrival of the rest of his party.
 With this end in view he set out to cross the Columbia river in a canoe, taking three men with him. On the way he shot crane and a duck, both of which fell nenr him. He landed be- fore five wigwams placed close to each other, but not person was visible, and the Goors, which were of mat, we-. closed. Holding his pipe in hand as an indication of good will, he pushed aside enc of the doors and entered the lodge.
 Inside were 30 men, women and chill dren huddled together in terror. He went to them, shook each by the hand and said some friendly words, ex- pressing by word and manner his kind ly feeling. Their appreh ensions were allayed until he took out his burning glass and lighted his pipe by the rays of the sun. Consternation again pre- vailed, and what might have occurred but for the timely arrival of two chiefs who knew the white men cannot be told. t.- '.-e .-t
 It seems that the Indians had not seen Captain Clark, but they had seen the white crane which he had shot fall just before his appearance. They had also seen the duck fall at his shot. They connected the fall of the birds with his advent and thought he had fallen from the clouds.
 The sound of the rife, which they had never heard before, they believed was a signal to announce the white mans coming. Small wonder, then, that their hardly allayed fears were again aroused when he brought down fire from heaven by means of his burn ing glass.

THE TRIAL OF GLENN
Sensational Developments at
 Manila Court Martial.
ARMY RECORDS TEMPERED WITH
Defense Argues For the Sum1nonlnE of Generals Chafyce and Smith. Accused Claimed to Have Act
 cd According to Orders.


 cd According to Orders.
 MANILA, Jan. 7.-When the trial of Major Edwin F. Glenn of the Fifth in- fnntry, who is to be tried by court martial on the formal charge of unlaw- fully and willfully killing seven pris. oners of war, to the prejudice of good order and military discipline and in violation of the sixty-second article of war, was resumed here the defense re- newed it's request that Generals Chaf- fee and Smith and other witnesses be summoned from the United States. The court refused this request for the pres. ent The argument developed certain sensational features. In opening the defense announced that it had declined to submit the interrogatories for depo' sitions ordered by Secretary of War Root on the ground that the question of summoning witnesses rested with the court, and submitted a written ar gument urging the right and justice of having witnesses This argument charged that the records of the Sixth brigade, commanded by General Smith, had been tempered with and that inn portant documents had been removed. It Is said the defense desired to exam inc General Smith with regard to these documents, as well as concerning cer- tain written and verbal orders, for the purpose of showing the character of the campaign he desired to have waged, and that General Chaffee was wanted for the purpose of obtaining certain orders and documents which were not recorded at division head quarters. @ It was also declared in the argument that General Chaffee had sent tele- gram to the department of southern Luzon when Caballes' force was oper- ating clad in American uniforms. The text of this telegram is given as fol- lows:
 "The division commander directs that no matter what measures be adopted information as to the whereabouts of this force must be obtained"
 The defense argued that this order was authorization for the application of the water cure, and said that officers in the field so interpreted it. If this Interpretation was proper, the defense said, General Chaffee was entitled to the opportunity to show why he had failed to interfere to prevent the court martialing of officers for executing the order,
