justice, Lord Alverstone, and two other
justices The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Upward of sixty years have elapsed since
a treason trial has been held in London.
The last was that Of John Francis youth,
who fired pistol at the late Queen Vic
toria as she was riding down Constitution
Hill. Francis was condemned to death, but
the sentence was commuted to imprison-
ment for life. He was released in 1867.
Unusual interest, therefore, is taken in the
present case. The court room was crowded,
many ladies' including Mrs. Lynch, being
among those present.

but he stood in the dock composedly listen
ing to the lengthy indictment, which oc-
cupied nearly an hour In reading.
Drawing, quartering and beheading ac-
companied the death penalty for treason
until 1870, when this was abolished. The
death penalty, however, remains.
The attorney general, Sir Robert Finlay,
opened the case. reciting the alleged treas
enable acts, as fully reported at the pre-
liminary hearing.

ture has been made from the old and stited
design. The Scent and, 13-cent have al
ready been issued to the post offices of the

lar. 2-dollar and 5-dollar varieties. The
chief of the division of postage stamps and
supplies announces that. he will have every
one of the stamps out by March ], although

ing and printing is not so sanguine. Proofs
of almost every one of the stamps have
been received and the designs have been
approved and work on the regular issue is

MR.. ELKINs' ANTI-REBATE BILL
Referred to Senate Interstate Com
merce Cnmmi

merce Committee.
Senator Elkins today introduced a bill
which covers the features Of antitrust leg
islation so far as it relates to railroads. 1t
contains the provisions which have been
recommended by Attorney General Knox
as to the punishment of those who receive
as well as those who give rebates. 1t pro-
vides for the punishment Of corporations
by fine instead of imprisonment of the
officials; also for injunctions to prevent dis
ordinations.
The Elkins bill is the result Of conferences
among various senator's most Of them
being members of the interstate commerce
committee. Its purpose is to separate in
terstate commerce and railroads from other
trust legislation.
The interstate commerce committee has
been unable to agree upon measures which
have been pending before it relating to
pooling and fixing rates by the interstate
commerce commission. The new bill leaves
these contested questions out and covers
features which have been most conspicu-
Gus in the preparation of anti-trust legis-
lation
The bill was referred to the committee on
interstate commerce, of which Senator Ell
kins is chairman, and it is the intention of
the committee to take it up at an early
day. Among those who have been consult
ed in the preparation of the bill besides Mr.
Knox were Senators Aldrich, Cullom, For
aker, Clapp and others.
Among the provisions of the bill are the
following:
The wiful failure to file tariff rates and
observe them subjects the road to fine
of $1,Co0 or $20.0c0; granting or receiving
rebates subject the corporations or persons
to the same fine. The interstate commerce
commission can institute suits in the United
States courts for supposed infractions of
the law. 1t is the duty of United States dis
trict attorneys under direction Of the At
torney General to institute and prosecute
suits provided for in the act. The bill gives
the courts power to compel the attendance
of witnesses, both carrier and shipper, who
are required to answer on all subjects re-
lating directly or indirectly to the contro-
versy; the courts also can compel the pro-
duction of all books and papers, but all
witnesses shall have the same immunity
from prosecution and punishment as now
provided by law

The Russkiya Vedomosti reports that the
proposal to introduce local self-government

grounds, Is favored by Won Plehwe, minis
ter of the interior 1t is said that he will
reintroduce the measure which the late
interior minister, Sipiaguine, withdrew from
the council of the empire when he assumed
office. This measure caused the downfall
of Minister Goremykin. Finance Minister
Witte had placed himself in violent opposi-
ton to it, but he is declared to have sabse-
quentIy changes his views about local self
government and constitutional reforms.
