CAN'T OFFER ENCOURAGEMENT.
Texas Railroad Companies Won't Allow
 Increase In Rates.

Austin, Tex, April 22.-In letter to General Manager A. A. Allen of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad, made public today, Railroad Commis- sioner Colquitt says, in part:
 T think the commission should be candid enough to say to you that 1t cannot offer any encouragement in your desire for increased rates. The freight either comes out of the value of the raw material, or is added to the cost of the manufactured article for the consumer to pay. Unfortunately, our state appears to be bearing both these burdens. Notwithstanding the large increase in expense of operation, complaint is being made of deteriora- tion in rolling stock and service; so much so, that while the gross earn ings ere increasing, the operating ex- penses have been more largely in- creased, it is claimed, without core spending improvements and better ments. I hope expenses may be re- duced by judicious management, so as to justify reduction rather than an increase ip rates"
 The letter is construed as being gen. eral, inssmuch as most of the roads in the state have asked for an increase.

JACK ROOT GIVEN DECISION. Mccoy Was Beaten From the Start and
 Never Had Chance.

Detroit, Mich April 22.-Jack Root of Chicago tonight was given the decision over Kid Mccoy at the end of the tenth round, before a crowd that packed Light guard armory. Mccoy never had chance. Root landed his left and right at will to the face and body, and generally with out a return. The, men weighed in at 3 o'clock. both tipping the scales close to 175 pounds.
 Bat. Masterson was the referee. The first round opened with light exchanges of lefts to body. Mccoy landed left to jaw and cleverly tucked a vicious swing. No damage was done.
 Mccoy started the second with a left hook to the jaw, a right to the head and right and left to neck and mouth. Near the end of the round Root landed low body punch that sent Mccoy to the mat and would have ended the bout, had it not been for the gong
 Root opened the third with a right to the back of the head and Mccoy went down and took the count. Root landed left and right to the body. Mccoy again going down and taking the count Me Coy was groggy and was holding to save himself
 From this time on Root landed as he pleased. McCoys blows lacked steam and he appeared to be content with staying the limit. He braced up. somewhat in the sixth Mccoy took the count in the seventh eighth and ninth rounds and by holding managed to stay to the end.

GREAT BRITAIN
 WILL NOT INSIST
QUESTION OF WHETHER THE AL LIES OR VENEZUELA SHALL STAND THE COST OF BLOCKADE WILL NOT GO TO THE HAGUE.

Washington. April 22.-Great Britain probably will not insist on referring to The Hague the question as to whether the allies or Venezuela shall stand the cost of the blockade. This proposition was not included in the protocol of Feb ruary 13 which provided for the submis- sion of only two questions to arbitration preferential treatment and the method of distributing the 30 per cent of the cus- toms receipts set aside for the creditor nations. It was presented several weeks ago by the British ambassador.
 MT. Bowen refused to permit the inser- ton of any extraneous matter in The Hague protocol Neither Germany nor Italy are disposed to protest the nego- tiations unduly because of this new con- tention. The British ambassador has ad- vised his government that the London authorities now are disposed to permit the original protocol to stand unamended. MT. Bowen returns tonight from New York where he has been for a fortnight He will call tomorrow on the British ann bassador and ask that the negotiations be concluded in time for him to leave for Caracas by the middle of May. Whether 1t will be necessary to make counter proposal before the agreement is reached, cannot be known until the ambassador reveals the character of his latest in- structions.

DIDN'T SEE HOWARD IN STATE CAPITOL
WITNESS FOR DEFENSE IN COZ. BEL MURDER CASE SAYS HE
 WAS OFFERED IMMUNITY BY
 PROSECUTION TO SWEAR LIES.

Frankfort, Ky, April 22.--In the How ard trial today, J. B. Matthews, former republican assistant secretary of state, continued his testimony begun on yester- day. He told further of the isreaeang open of Powers office and search for the assassin. The search continued no fur ther than that room, and as soon as he and others there learned what had been done, they began preparing to protect themselves. He did not see Howard in the hall, and his recollection was that Grant Roberts and Sam Sheppard, clerks In the auditors office were the only ones in the hall when he first went out.
 He said he had been offered immuni- ty by the prosecution when Powers was on trial if he would testify that he led the assassin into and out of the secre- tary of states office.
 Sam Sheppard, a clerk and Grant Rob- erts, also clerk, testified that they were the first persons in the hallway after the shooting. Did not see Howard there. After few minutes they went in and saw Powers office open.
 George T. Hemphill, clerk of Caleb Powers office, was the most sensational witness in the trial this afternoon. Hemp hill said that he was summoned before the grand jury in April, 1900, and that the day he was summoned Governor Taylor asked him to be as easy as possible on Henry Youtsey. Hemphill is a clerk in one of the departments at Washington, and had never before testified except in the examination trial of Caleb Powers He did not tell this at that time and had refused to testify in former trials.
 Berry Howard who was recently ac- quilted on charge of complicity in the murder denied that he had received a certain letter from Caleb Powers and tes- tified as to other matters, more or less important
 The testimony of McKinzie Todd, pri- vate secretary to Governor Taylor, was the same as on former trials, and de- veloped nothing particularly new.
 Green Golden was called but declined to testify for the reason that he Is under indictment

But 1t seems to me if the democratic party fully understood his position on that bill as 1t was understood in the senate, the opposition to him on that ground would not be widespread.

Boston, Mass, April 22.-According to the report of the state board of Ath!tr&- tion ald conciliation, presented to Gov ernor Bates today the textile corpora tinns in Lowell, involved i5i the present strike cf 17000 operatives, with single exception. cannot afford to pay their help the ten per cent increase in wages demanded by organized labor. The opin- ion of the board is corr ohoratel by a statement from state sSat:stician based on the figures of an accountant employ ed to make an examination Of .he iinan- cial conditions of the seven mills in tues ton. The exception is the Lawrence Manufacturing company. The books of which, according 10 the report, show that it is able to grant the advance deinand- ed.
 Agents of the mills tonight said that the mills would not open on Monday and that conditions were not changed in the least by the report
 The report further says:
 ''It is unnecessary more than to refer to the increase of southern mills during the last ten years to show that Lowell has a formidable competitor there. Of the total gain of cotton spindles in the United States from 1890 to 1900 of 4,920, ,249. fifty-three per cent or S39 were in the country which produces the plain coarse goods, such as are largely made in Lowell
 Tn view of these facts and after care full study of the reports of the various experts employed, the board finds that the claim of the mills that they cannot afford to increase wages Is sustained, except in the case of the Lawrence Man ufacturing company, whose books show that this company Is able to grant the advance demanded"
