Butte, Mont, Nov. A special
from Basin says the town has been
practically destroyed by a conflagra-
ton which started at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon from a bonfire built between
two buildings by some children at play.
All the business section has been
wiped out and the fire is still burning.
The large concentrator of the Montana
Ore Purchasing company was saved
after heroic work by the firemen.

PANAMA CANAL TREATY
It Is FavorabIy Reported-Mr. Morgan's
r.. Opposition.

d Washington, Feb. 3.-The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations to-day agreed
to report favorably the treaty with Co.
lombiaS for building an isthmian canal.
The agreement to report the treaty was
reached after three or four sittings de-
voted in the main to hearing Senator
Morgan's objections to the document in
its present shape. He had not concluded
when the vote to report was taken to-
day, but he announced that he would be
floor of the senate.
This was in accordance with a sugges-
tion made by Senator Cullom, chairman
of the committee, who told the dissent
ing senator that he had satisfied himself
that the committee was prepared to re-
port the treaty to the senate without
amendment, and that owing to the pres
sure of other business the members were
anxious that the committees discussion
Of the subject should come to an end
A vote upon the resolution to report
was then taken and it was carried by a
large majority. Only two senators, Nor
gan and Bacon, voted against it. Sena-
tor Bacon announced that his opposition
was to the time of reporting and not to
the treaty itself. The committee will rec
ommend the ratification of the treaty
without amendment.
Senator Cullom says he has formed no
plans for calling it UP in the senate. The
general opinion of members of the COM
mittee is that Senator Morgan will con-
tinue his opposition on the floor of the
senate and that several long sessions will
be necessary to secure a vote.

.MEXICANS ARE
WIPED OUT.
The 18th Battalion Of the Regulars
Almost Annihilated by
Yaqui Indians.
They Were Led Into a Trap by the
Indians and Their Re-
treat Cut Off.

Tucson, Ariz., Feb. Sword has just
reached here that the twelfth battalion of
the Mexican regulars was almost annihi-
lated in battle with the Yaquis, whom
they We're pursuing after having defeated
them in a fight at San Marcial.
( The regulars were caught in trap and
their retreat was cut off by a second band
of whose existence they knew nothing.
There were 500 soldiers in the battalion,
and if the report Of the survivors Of the
fghtswho reached San Marcial is true, a
great many of that number were killed.
The reports, however, are believed to be
exaggerated
According to last previous accounts, the
regulars were in critical condition and
had lost a large number, although the
casualties are not known.
The twelfth battalion has been stationed
for some time at Potam, Rio Yaqui. 1t
was made up of soldiers trained to fight
Indians in the bush and was differed by
some of the best men in the service in
Sonora.

THE ELklNS BILL
Some Of the Provisions Of This Now Fa-
nous Measure.

Some Of the Provisions Of This Now Fa-
nous Measure.
:, Washington, Feb. s.-The Elkins bill has
1t proposes to give greater power to the
interstate commerce commission, and, at
the same time, to repeal that section Of
the Sherman law which now forbids rail-
way pooling. In exchange for the privi-
lege Of making pooling contracts, several
of the large railway interests were willing
to grant to the interstate commerce COM
mission authority to exercise the rate
governing power.
The bill also contained notifications Of
the present law in regard to penalties for
giving rebates and making unjust discrim-
nations The presidents antitrust bill
does not give the railroads the privilege
of making pooling contracts, nor does it
give the interstate commerce commission
the privilege of debating freight rates.
The administration plan concentrates its
attack on the evils Of rebates and secret
alliances between the railroads and the
trust corporations. In addition, it ar
ranges for another commission, Or bu-
reau of the department Of commerce,
which is to work out a good measure OF
publicity for the railroads and other cor
porations. .,...-
The railroad interests do not like the
adrninist ration plan. They would much
rather have the Elkins bill.
In putting forward the Elkins 1egisla-
ton, the senators are saying that it is
better to proceed along explored paths
If the interstate commerce law is to be
amended they think it better that the
amendments originate in the Interstate
commerce committee.

Thereupon He Told the Indianapolis
Grand Jury About the Grave
Robberies.

Indianapolis, Feb. 3.-The examination
of jurors in the trial of DR.. j. G. Alex
ander, charged with completely in the
grave robbing cases, was resumed to-day
in the criminal court. Many men We're
called examined and rejected.
A story is made public to-day to the
effect that Rufus Cantrill revealed the
secrets Of the gang because he found the
body of his sweetheart, Stella Middleton.
in a medical college, when he returned to
the city after an absence Of several days.
He did not know that she had died while
he was away, and, according to his story
which he is said to have told before the
grand jury, he was so wrought up over
the discovery of the body in the medical
college, that he made a full confession to
the prospector.
1t was this confession that brought to
light the wholesale devastation Of the
graveyards around Indianapolis.
The cases promise to be drawn out in
terminably.

ON WHITE EARTH
The State of Minnesota Loses the
School Sections on Four Coded
Townships.
Payment Must Be Made to the Gov.
eminent for Timber Sold by
Mr.. Dunn.

From The Journal Bureau, Room Is, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Feb. 3.-Secretary Hitch
cock has decided that the state of Mime
sofa is not entitled to school sections on
the four ceded townships on White Earth
reservation and that payment must be
made to the government for timber sold
| by State Auditor Dunn from this land.
| The department has, therefore, made, or
will soon make formal demand on the
| state to turn over the money derived from
these sales, which will be placed to the
credit Of the tribe in the treasury. Some
time ago a similar ruling was made rela-
tive" to sales of timber from the school
sections in the Red Lake reservation, and
the state turned over all the money it had
! received on that account without demur.
The department officials believe the state
will pay for White Earth timber just as
/ promptly. In reaching the conclusion
that the state is not entitldes to school
lsections in the four ceded townships on
White Earth reservation the secretary
followed the ruling of the supreme cour,
in the state case last winter.
