ADMINISTRATION BILLS.
Two Measures Prepared by Knox In
troduced in. House.

SIOuucou IN HOUSE,
Washington. Jan. s.--Two antt-truzt
bills, prepared by Attorney General Knox
were introduced in the House today BY
Representative Jenkins. Chairman OF the
Judiciary Committee.
These bills are said to represent the
views Of the administration on the dues-
ton. being along the lines OF the suggss-
tons contained In Mr.. Knox's letter to,
Senator Hoar and Mr.. LAttIedeld. one
Of the bills amends the Sherman anti
trust law to strengthen and perfect II to
meet the views Of the Attorney General.
the chief features being q provision that
1t shall be unlawful for any person to of
fer, grant or give or solicit, accept or re-
ceive any rebate. concession or service
in respect to the transportation OF any
property In interstate or foreign COM
merce whereby such property 10 trans
ported at less rate than that named In
the published tariff OF the carrier. q fina
of 5000 being provided land that the Cir
cult Courts Of the United States are In
vested with Jurisdiction to prevent and
restrain such rebates.
The second bill provides for the appoint
ment OF commission to carry out the
provisions OF the Sherman act az II Is
proposed to have 1t amended. 1t Is pro-
vided that the commission shall be a BIZ
partisan affair but the bill as introduced
leaves blank the number OF commissions
ers to be appointed. the length Of their
service and the compensation they are to
receive. The commission IL to have
secretary and neither the secretary nor
the commissioners are to engage in any
corporate business while holding once.
The bill eonfers on the commission pow

stronger than those possessed by the In

AIMED AT GERMANY.
It is Venezuela and Not Dardanelles
the Press IL Angry Over.

New York, Jan. s.-Referring to the
Dardanelles question. the London cores
pondent Of The Tribune says the argu-
ment IL unanswerable that under the
European treaty law England must be
allowed to send ships into the Black Sea
II Russia is permitted to dispatch her
vessels into the Mediterranean, but the
most bellicose writer about English naval
prestige has no idea Of enforcing that
right and going to war about 1t.
A good deal has happened since the
Crimea. Cairo is now the geographical
center Of the British empire and Con-
stantinople can never again be a hot
bed of British intrigue. The equivocal
attitude Of both Germany and France in
regard to the Straits question shows that
Russia can revise or disregard the treaty
stipulations whenever 1t suits her con-
venience to do so The main object OF
the theatrical demonstration of the press
against Russia is to emphasize the fact
that Germany and England, while arti-
ficially associated in the Venezuelan af-
fair, are not acting together in the far
East. This is a meager consolation. since
It is evident that British protest in this
instance will never be enforced.

INDIAN TROOPS REVIEWED.

Kitchener LEADS oO,OOO men before
Curzon and Connaught.
Dilhi, lnola, Jan S.-The review today
by the Viceroy of India. Lord Curzon OF
hedleston, of $1,000 British and native
troops, led by Lord Kitchener, was the
last important event Of the coronation
uurbar.
The Viceroy, the Duke Of Connaught.
and the Grand Duke of Hesse. surround
ed by a brilliant STAFF, took up their
positions at the saluting point between
the grand stands. From every side an
immense multitude of Europeans and
natives watched the march past and
cheered the favorite regiments. Lady
Curzon and the Duchess Of Connaught
witnessed the review from carriages.
The scene was not less brilliant in col
orings than the previous events, and it
equaled them in picturesqueness. There
was a particular effective manouvre af-
ter the passing of the horse artillery, thu.
cavalry, the field batteries and the In
fantry in the order named. The cavalry,
in line of regiments, followed by the ar
tillery, galloped past again and formed
half a mile In front of the grand stand,
and from this position charged down in
a long line to within a short distance Of
the saluting point.
Lord Kitchener. after leading the first
regiment, Joined the Viceroy. He was
warmly congratulated by Lord Curzon
en- the bearing of the troops throughout
the durbar.

BuRaHERs DRAFT ADDRESS.
Boer Gnerals Urge Necessity for
Supporting Present Government.


Supporting Present Government.
Pretoria, Jan. SAN influential meet
ing of burghers yesterday drafted an ad-
dress for presentation to Colonial Sec
rotary Chamberlain and the legislative
council embodying the views OF the
leaders. Among the recommendations
are general amnesty. the maintenance
Of the Transvaars pre-war regulations
regarding natives. the Importation OF cat
tie by the government and their sale to
the burRhers at actual cost and the aboli-
ton Of the South African constabulary.
Generals Bothea, Dewet and DeLarey
strongly urged the necessity for a mod
crate attitude and organization to as
sist the present government.
General Botha reported that $685. 900 had
been collected in America and Europe
for the relief of destitute Beers.
Mr.. Chamberlain. replying to the ad-
dress of the burghers said the terms
already granted were decidedly generous
and that there was no prospect Of a
general amnesty. He declared the gov
eminent proposed to abide by the terms
of the Vereeniging agreement with which
the Boer leaders at the time of sur
render had complied. The cases of the
burshers now in Europe would be con-
sidered individually on their merits. said
Mr.. Chamberlain and these burghers
should prove their loyalty by accounting
for the gold taken to Europe ne Sec
rotary said also that the annexation of
the Vryheld and Utrecht districts to
Natal were irrevocable and that the
natives would be compelled to observe
their obligations He declared he would
have been better pleased, had the ad-
dress of the burghers instead of con-
sisting merely of demands contained
some recognition Of what his Inajestys
government had already done for the
Beers.

Washington, Jan. s.-The sub-commit-
tee of the House Judiciary COMMITTEES, OF
which Representative Littlefield Is chair
man, preparing an antitrust bill. agreed
today to make favorable report to the
full committee tomorrow on the bill in-
troduced by Mr.. Littlefield in accordance

Knox to expedite the suits brought un-
Ger the Sherman antitrust law. This will
be urged as an Independent measure.
The subcommittee made considerable
progress today. but will not be able to
report an antitrust measure to the full
committee until Monday, as there Is con-
siderable work yet to be done In complet-
ing the rough draft of bill on which
they are now at work.

READY TO BE GOOD.
Castro Willing to Have Questions
Arbitrated.

Castro Willing to Have Questions
Arbitrated.
Washington, Jan. s.-Minister Bowen
transmitted to the State Department to-
day the reply from President Castro
touching the arbitration proposal.
As heretofore President Castro ex-
presses willingness to submit the matter
TO arbitration and in addition TO his form
err communication, he Is now willing to
recognize the propriety of submitting the
claims referred to In the British and Ger
man notes to The Hague. something that
he has not up to this point been willing
to do.
Some details remain to be arranged be-
fore the next step, which Is the appoint
ment Of commissioners can be taken up,
and 1t is not yet known how Castro will
receive the demands still insisted upon
by the allies for a money payment and
how he viii view the rejection Of his own
demand for the immediate withdrawal Of
the blockade as a condition precedent to
the arbitration.
II Mr.. Bowen'e> expectation Is not
realized the commissioners will proceed
according to the original plan to draw
up the protocol prescribing the conditions
upon which the issues between the parties
shall be submitted to the arbitration Of
The Hague tribunal. 1t Is improbable,
in the judgment Of the officials here that
the blockade will be raised until the COM
missIoners do one of these two things
either reach a complete settlement or
sign a protocol providing for arbitration.
In the latter case even though a techni-
cal and final adjustment cannot be
realized until The Hague tribunal has
announced its decision. the blockade will
not be continued during the tendency
of the proceedings. therefore the protocol
will be regarded as sufficient to bind
President Castro. providing the conditions
precedent required by the allies are COM
piled with.
