er he organized and equipped a light

Manila.
This amusing incidentfi related by
the great respect entertained by the
soldiers for his authority. The first
consignment of Wyoming soldiers.
while stationed in San Francisco, had
arranged very comfortable quarters at
Camp Merritt, and it was the wish Of
the governor to have the second con-
signment use the quarters made va
cant by the battalion having been or
dered to Manila. He secured permits
sion from General E. s. Otis, and dir
ected a member of his staff to assign
the battery upon their arrival to this
camp. which the aid did without re-
porting further to General Otis. The
general was greatly surprised later to
find the quarters occupied by troops,
and sent an orderly to investigate.
The captain of the battery was asked
by whose orders he occupied his pres.
ent quarters. He promptly replied:
by the order Of the governor Of Wyo-
ming" General Otis was informed.
and remarked: THE authority seems
sufficient" and subsequently laughed
over the matter with the governor, re-
marking that these western people
seemed competent to take are of
themselves.

greatly deserved promotion. and wish

WINTER QUARTERS
 OF CIRCUS BURNED
BARNUM & BAILEY HAVE $foo,ooo FIRE-MuCH EXCITEMENT WAS CAUSED BY REMOVAL OF FOUR. TEEN ELEPHANTS.

Bridgeport, Conn, February 24.-Fire partly destroyed the new brick car barn at the winter quarters of the Barnum & Bailey circus today and burned a number of cars belonging to the circus. The loss is S1OO,OOO; insurance, $33,O ,OOO While the fire was at it's height, a eornice fell, carrying to the ground with 1t twelve firemen who were at work on the roof. The men were slightly bruised.
 Considerable excitement was occasioned during the removal of fourteen elephants. which were quartered in a building ad- joining the car barns. It was necessary to remove the elephants through a door facing the burning building and across car tracks between rows of burning and smoking cars. In order to accomplish this safely, the four keepers took one animal out at a time until the entire herd was re- moved The loud trumpeting of the ele- plants gave rise to a rumor that the ani- mals had broken loose. The other ani- mals, however were at no time in danger. The fire was under control in about halr an hour. .
 Six new Pullman cars, valued at $ls'oou each and two new flat cars. valued al s40OO were destroyed. More than 150 feet of. the barn were burned to the ground and ten stock cars, which were stahuins outside the barn, were damaged

GOSS' SALOON
 ROBBED OF $50
PROPRIETOR FINDS MAN BEHIND COUNTER AND FIRES IN HIS Dl- .REcTIoN, BUT BURGLAR Es- CAFES BY REAR DOOR.

Pete Goss' saloon, on Second ave- nue, between Eighteenth and Nine teenth streets, was robbed at 2:45 o'clock this morning, the burglar se' curing $50 from the cash drawer.
 MT. Goss, who lodges over the sa' loon, was awakened by his brother who sleeps in the same room with him The brother thought he heard some one in the bar below. The pro prietor secured his pistol and went down stairs. When he went to the front door he saw man behind the counter. As he unlocked the door and entered the burglar ran to the rear. Mir Goss fired several times in his direction, but the man escaped through a back door, which he had evidently opened, and in this way gained access to the interior of the saloon.
 Investigation showed that fully $50 had been taken. It is not known whether the buglar was hit, as he made good his escape.

LOTTERY DECISION
 USED FOR POLITICS
PROMINENT MEN IN WASHINGTON SAY IT SETS AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT IN DEALING WITH HARMFUL TRAFFIC.

Washington, February A-The decision
 in the lottery cases has oocasioned con- siderable comment in Washington. Mem
 bers of the administration assert that the
 majority of the court has fully sustained
 the contention that the Sherman anti
 trust law did not exhaust the constitution al power of the federal government over
 commerce.
 prominent administration official said
 today: "The Champion decision clearly , sustains the contention of the govern-
 ment. No important proposition in the government brief was rejected. The
 plenary and absolute power of congress
 to prohibit any form of traffic when 1t
 deems such traffic hostile to the public interests is clearly sustained
 Tt must be remembered in this connec-
 tion that prior to the Presidents speech
 last summer, many thoughtful men were
 or the opinion that the Sherman anti
 trust law marked the limit of the federal
 power with reference to unlawful combl- nations The President in his speeches challenged this contention and this
 thought was further impressed upon the public mind by the attorney generals . Pittsburg speech, in which he insisted, i contrary to the opinion of many that th,. 1 supreme court did not decide in the su-
 gar trust that congress was poweress to regulate directly unlawful combinations
 in inter-state traffic.
 The facts in the lottery cases did not 1 require Justice Harlan to express any | opinion directly on this question, but the trend of his reasoning clearly indi-
 cated that congress may exclude from ! interstate traffic any commodity deem- cd by 1t as prejudicial to the public well
 fare and that it's motives are beyond | judicial inquiry. Under the decision such exclusion is not necessarily limited to articles of commerce which were pre- viously regarded as innocuous Such was the public view of lottery tickets less than a century ago, and Justice
 Harlan says in effect that congress could prohibit absolutely interstate traffic in
 intoxicating liquors if 1t deemed 1t ad- visable, and this notwithstanding the fact that in the absence of congressional action the introduction into one state l from other states of other classes of mer-
 chandise as legitimate subject of com
 merce may not be prevented by the states. The logical effect of this is that
 congress has the absolute right to say
 when commerce in any given commodity
 shall be free or prohibited.
