DUELLING IN GERMAN ARMY
Socialist Leader Says Higher Classes
of Society Are in State of Con-
>piracy Against Law and Religion.

Berlin, March 9.-Herr Bebel, the So
cialist leader, during the debate on the
military budget in the Reichstag today,
said the higher classes of society were
in Il state of permanent conspiracy
against the law and religion, so far as
duelling was concerned.
All the military courts and the fixed
opinion of the military class, including
his majesty, regarded duelling as nee
esSary in the army, Notwithstanding
the ReichStag'S resolution on the sub
ject and against the weight of public
opinion.
Herr Bebel referred in detail to the
recent instances of duelling and COM
planned of the invariable pardoning of
dUellists before the terms of imprison-
ment had been completed.
Turning to the ill-treatment of Ger
mar soldiers, he said it was common
for old sergeants to boast of their in
genuity in abusing young privates.
Most of the extreme instances, the
speaker added, were those of weak
minded young fellows, sometimes Dor
dering on idiOcy, who ought not to be
in the service and who could not be
there if militarism did not bias the
minds of the medical officers.
Among the incidents referred to by
the socialist leader was that of a pri-
vate who vas compelled to open his
mouth while a sergeant spat into it
several times. "One must wonder"
said Herr Bebel, that the man treated
thus did not have the moral courage
to stab such a beast to DEATH"
War Minister Won GosSler replying
said that throughout the year 1902, no
duel had occurred between officers on
the active list. Duellists, he continued,
were confined on the recommendation
of the highest court. Sharp measures
adopted in the case of Lieutenant Hill
derWbrandt who killed Lieutenant
Blaskowitzz in a duel in November,
1901, and was sentenced to two years
Imprisonment though he was pardon
ed by Emperor William. after serving
seven months of his sentence, left no
doubt as to the attitude of the en-
peror. The speaker fully agreed with
Herr Bebel that officers who i~ll-treated
private soldiers in the way described
by the socialist leader merit the most
severe punishment.

States Supreme Court.

Washington. March 9.-The United
States supreme court today rendered
its first opinion in an interstate COM
merce case in which the Elkins Act,
passed at the last session of congress.

.tiOn of discrimination on the part of the
railroad company as between places. 1t
was brought at the instance of the in

without any previous proceedings on
the part of the commission.

not have been regular. but under the
IElkins law it would be. The court,

FOREST RESERVATIONS.
Commissioners Gives Out
the Policy OF the Administration.

Washington, March 9.-Commission-
who is the special representative of
the president in all matters pertaining
to lands, irrigation II forestry and
who was formerly for -four years gov
ernor of Wyoming, today made the fol-
lowing statement respecting the pres
n and future policy of this admins
tration relating to the establishment
and control of forest reservations:
The presidents purpose and desire
is to protect and preserve the remain
ing forests upon public lands from the
deV~astatiOns and destruction which
has been the fate of those in large por-
tons of the Appalachian mountains
and in other forested sections of the
country. In doing this, a supply OF
timber will be preserved for future
needs and natural success of water sup
ply will be so protected as to prevent
flooding of the streams during the
spring time and the unmelting OF the
SHOWS and to insure water for lrrlga-
ton and other purposes during the dry
season. 1t is and has been the preSl-
dents consistent policy to encourage
the actual settlement of the country by
home builders in every way, to see that
settlers within the forest reserves are
accorded every reasonable prOtectlOn
and hat those living within the I'M
mediate vicinity of these reserves, VINO
are dependent upon the reserves Tor
grazing areas. for cattle n horses and
for necessary timber for building and
fuel, are accorded access to the re-
serves for these purposes under such
reasonable restrictions as will prevent
waste and destruction. The n guild
ing purpose of the administration IN
dealing with forestry, with pasturage,
with irrigation. with the land general
ly. is to help and make easy the path
of the home builder, h small ranch
man or tiller of the soil, and not to let
the land be exploited and skinned by
those who have no permanent interest
therein. and who do not build homes or
remain as actual residents"

THE CUBAN TREATY
Foreign Relations Committee Will
Press it for q Vote.

Washington, March 9.--The senate
committee on foreign relations will not
meet tomorrow to take I'D h Cuban
treaty, but probably will hold a session
Wednesday TO report it. Quite a num-
Der Of democratic senators are opposed
to the treaty and while they say they
have no desire TO prevent a vote, they
intend to present their views briefly
upon the measure. The republicans
who favor the treaty count on three or
four more than the necessary rV'O-
thirds to ratify it. There is a prOba-
bility of discussion branching cut
upon constitutional questions, involving
the right of the senate to make a
treaty without the concurrence Of the
house of representatives. 1t Is the
present intention of the foreign rela-
tons committee to press the treaty to
a vote as soon as the Colombian treaty
is out of the way.

RIVERS ON A RISE.
Reports from All Sections Indicate
Heavy Rains and Swollen

Memphis, Tenn, March 9.-The river
at this point tonight shows $40 feet
and rising. Weather conditions are
similar e much of the vast area
drained by the Mississippi and it's
tributaries. from the headwaters of the
former to the gulf, and reports from all
points indicate heavy rains and swollen
streams. 1t is upon this condition and
the fact that the 1evees built since the
flood of 1897 have very materially mar
rOwed the territory over which the river
can spread hat the statement of the
probable stage of SO feet is based.
The greatest stage ever recorded at
Memphis is 37.4 and it is thought that
a greater stage must cause much dam
age in the lowlands. What would oc-
u from such a stage cannot be fore
told.
The levee of both the east and west
sides of the Mississippi are being
strengthened at all points. There is
little anticipation of serious trouble
until it approaches So feet.
Suffering in the L~OwIands.
Paducah, KY, March 9.-The river
is 43 feet tonight and rising and there
is great suffering in the low lands and
much property floating away. The
rains nave sent the Cumberland and
Tennessee booming and a destructive
flood is feared. Several miles of the
Illinois Central railroad are under
water between Paducah and Metropo-
lis, ILL.,, and trains run only with the
greatest difficulty.
People Moving to Higher Oun
Cairo. ILL.,. March 9.-The river is
gradually rising and registered Al feet
at Z o'clock tonight. 1t is expected
that the guage will show fifty feet by
Wednesday,. Reports from Cairo say
that people are removing to high
ground. The area covered by water
below Cairo extends for miles each
way and the water is rapidly spread
ing.
Railroad Traffic DemOralized.
Lincoln, Neb., March 9.-Ice gorges
in the Platt river and it's tributaries
Nebraska, especially in and near the
noa. Aconee, a village on the Loun is
surrounded by water n many inhabi-
itantS have been forced to abandon
their homes. Railroad traffic is badly
demOralized. The Union Pacific bridge
across the Loup, west of Columbus,
has gone out and the track for a mile
and a half is washed away. The
traffic on the Union Pacific west of
there is entirely tied up. In southern
Nebraska, the Republican river is out
of it's banks and full of ice. Two big
bridges near Superior are damaged.

THE CASE.
Whole investigation Now in Hands
of Police.

Buffalo, n. Y, March 9.-The Bur-
dick murder mystery received very lit
tie attention at the district attorneys
office today. The officials were busily
engaged in preparing other criminal
cases before the courts which have
been delayed by the undivided atten-
ton given to the Burdick case. L is
evident from the attitude of the officials
that the police are now alone in their
efforts to run down the murerer.
That is, the district attorney will wait
until the police department submits
evidence of sufficient weight to con
vince him that they have the right
person.
District Attorney Coatsworth in the
first instance took charge of the case
and personally directed the work of
the police. After ten days work under
the direction of the district attorney,
the police have not been able to show
a single thing which pointed the fling
er of guilt strongly in any direction.
1t is declared. however. that no diff
ference have arisen between the dis
trict attorney n the police. The Of
ficials lave found that the arrangement
produced nothing M the police now
will work for the first time independent
of the district attorney.
That a woman committed the crime,
the police believe, has been established
beyond all shadow of a doubt. The
movements of the mysterious clone
woman will be the clue upon which
the police will work. This was the wo-
man seen by Policeman Meyer in the
vicinity of the Burdick home on the
night of the murder.

Clean, n. Y, March "a score or
more people were killed and a larger
number were injured by an explosion
of oil neal here tonight. A freight
train on the Erie made up principally
of tank cars, filled with oil, broke in
two near this city at about 9 o'clock.
The two sections of the train came to-
gether with a crash and one of the oil
tanks was demolished. Fire broke out
almost instantly and the sky vas light
ed up for miles.
A large crowd of people left this city
for the scene of the fire. While they
were lined up along the tracks a ter
rife explosion occurred. The flames
communicated quickly with the other
tank cars and a second and third eX-
plosion followed each other in rapid
succession. Sheets of flames shot out
in all directions. Scores of persons
were caught within the fire and envel-
oped in flames. Men and boys ran
screaming down the tracks, with their
clothing a mass of flames. others fell
where they stood, overcome by the
awful heat. Just how many were kill
ed is not known, as many of the bodies
were cremated.

fire at midnight. He said: 81 was at

Interview With Treasurer Denton of
Liquor Dealers Association.
Your correspondent had a special in
lterview with Treasurer Denton, of the
North Carolina Dealers Association,
regarding the liquor legislation by this
Legislature. Denton said that he and
attorney ". T. Dortch had practically
done all the work. He said he was
pleased with the Watts liquor regula-
ltion bill: that it was more than he had
hoped for. and that really the law was
better thar it was before: that he
claimed that the fight the liquor men
had made was their most successful
lone; that under the terms Of the Watts
bill. One-third of the qualified voters
lean all an election in any town on the
Question OF license, prohibition or dis
Ipensary. while before. it required one
fourth OF the qualified voters to call an
election on prohibition and there could
be under those circumstances a
vote on anything else: that under the
old law it was provided that the county
but the law now says they shall" grant
it; that the only thing done by the bill
is TO run grOggeries out of the country
to drive distilleries into the towns;
THAT as to this running out of the grog-
Igeries. the liquor dealers association
was heartily glad. but that as to dis
Itilleries il wanted them to remain in
the country, but wanted their sales re-
istricted to unbroken packages; hat
this matter about distilleries was the
n in which liquor dealers assO-
IciatiOn lost in the fight. Denton ex-
pressed the belief that this driving of
the distilleriet to the towns Will hurt
the democratic party. He says his asso-
wants him to become its presi-
and that letters are coming to
him from all over the state expressing
that wish.
Pennsylvania. the Only county Ex-
copied.
Representative Aiken of Pennsylvania
this afternoon said: Let me tell you
what has hapDened-my county is the
one in the state which is excepted
from the Watts bill. Section 10 of that
bill says hat it shall not apply to any
which has a special act. Tran
~'sylvania has a special act regulating
the manufacture and sale of spirits. It
is the only county the Watts bill does
not strike"
Wilmington Charter Bill.
The Wilmington charter bill, passed
to-day. Representative Morton said to
that he had receded from that part
.Of the bill. providing for the nominal
'tion of h chief of police by a pri-
mary. He said that he a to get the
Other bill through defining the time of
election. as otherwise the mayor n
present board of aldermen would have
held over, and said Morton, Il never
could have permitted that"
