There was good deal of disap-
pointment last night that Mile. de
Lussan was unable TO give her song
recital. She arrived half an hour be-
fore the time for her appearance at
the theater and was too fatigued and
too indisposed to sing. Those who had
anticipated an evening of pleasure
from her singing were disappointed.

|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 49, 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 entitlde to school
sections in the four coded townships on
White Earth reservation the secretary
followed the ruling Of the supreme court
in the state case last winter.

THE ELklNs BILL
Some of the Provisions of This Now Fa-
nous Measure.

Washington, Feb. 3-The Elkins bill has
been under consideration for some time.
It 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. i.
The bill also contained notifications Of
giving rebates and making unjust discrm-
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 it's
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
administration plan. They would much
rather have the Elkins bill.
In putting forward the Elkins legisla-
ton, the senators are saying that 1T 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.

PANAMA CANAL TREATY
It Is FavorabIy Reported-Mr. Morgan's
OPPOSITION,

4 Washington, Feb. S.-The senate COM
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
willing to transfer the discussion to the
floor of the senate.
This was in accordance with a sugges-
ton 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.
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 nc
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 a battle with the Yaquis. whom
they were pursuing after having defeated
them in a fight at San Marcial.
+ The regulars were caught in trap and
their retreat was cut off by second band
of whose existence they knew nothing.
There were 500 soldiers in the battalion,
and if the report Of the survivors Of the
fght$who 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 a critical condition and
had lost large number, although the
casualties are not known.
The twelfth battalion has been stationed
for some time at Potan, Rio Yaqui. II
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.

She failed to appear and another sub
poena was issued Deputy Sheriff 10th
started out to look for her yesterday aft
ernoon, but after a diligent search re-
ported this morning that all trace of her
and her personal property had been lost.
A great deal Of trouble was caused at
a previous trial by this woman and the
officers hunted for, her several weeks be-
fore they could bring her into court.
This time it is given out by her init
mate friends that she left town with a
certain man and is now we'll started on
a. trip to Europe. Not much credence is
given this, but the officers say without
hesitation that they believe she will not
be seen in Minneapolis until the present
trial at least is finished.
Cohen, the alleged tool Of DR.. A. A.
Ames, is charged in the case on trial
with accepting $25 from one Augusta
Haden, in return for which her resort
received the protection Of the police.
Triers Appointed.
At the request OF A. II. Hall, attorney
for the defendant, Judge Harrison APP
pointed E. J. Davenport, Maxil D. Robb
and Wendell Hertig as triers.
Mr.. Hall moved that the rules ON i'm
paneling the jury be changed so that chal-
lenges might be withdrawn before being
accepted by the opposition. The court
ruled that such proceeding would be con-
trary to the statutes and stated that the
jury would be impaneled in the usual
way.
The county attorney and Mr.. Hall in
dulged in some acrimonious discussion as
to whose fault it was that the trial OF
the Cohen cases had been delayed.
Six jurors were examined this morning
and three were sworn, as follows: Will
liam Russell, Clarence A. Warren and
Peter Schock. The work of selecting un-
biased men bids fair to consume this aft
ernoon and a considerable part of to-mor-
row.
Mr.. Hall appeared before Judge Elliott

CONFERENCES
ARE GOING ON
Mr.. Bowen's Decisive Note Clears
the Air-His Attitude Clear.
~ Stated.
Attempts to Reach Compromise,
Are Begun Again This
Morning.
Germany Again Shows Strong OBJ
lection to Referring the Dis
pute to the Hague.

"Details of Mr.. Bowens ''ultimatum" will be
found on page Of this paper.]
Washington, Feb. 3.-Mr. Bowen's7 de-
cisive note Of last night rejecting the di-
visional scheme proposed by the British
ambassador led to numerous conferences
to-day. 1t was stated that the represen-
tatives of the allies expected to cable
this note in extenso to their respective
apitals to-day, but there is reason to be-
lieve that an adequate idea of its nature
already has been conveyed to London,
Berlin and Rome
Negotiations Are Resumed.
Baron Sternberg was an early. caller at
Mr.. Bowen's hotel to-day and an hour
later he was Joined in Mr.. Bowen's rooms
by the British ambassador and they spent
half an hour in conference with Yemen
.zuela's representative. Attempts to
reach a compromise have been by no
means abandoned. By appointment the
three representatives met shortly after
noon at the British embassy and while.
owing to the rigid limitations under which
they are acting, they must refer to their
home governments at every step, they are
still not precluded from devisng schemes
of settlement.
Germany Opposed to The Hague.
1t appears that the issue is now be-
tween reference Of the case to The
Hague tribunal for adjudication of the
framing Of a complete compromise agree
ment here in Washington which shall pro-
vide for a full settlement of all the
Venezuelan claims. 1t is known that
Baron Sternberg, representing Germany,
is earnestly DESTROYS of avoiding recourse
to The Hague and wishes to reach q
speedy settlement in Washington by di-
rect arrangement. Mr.. Bowen is per-
fectly willing to meet this wish, but
sooner than sacrifice the principle in
volved in the allowance of preferential
claims in undue proportion, lie is will
| ing to surrender whatever personal glory
he might have realized from effecting a
complete settlement here and allow the
case to go to The Hague.
The point has been made that mere
desire on the part of VeneZuela's repre-
sentative to send the case to The Hague
is not sufficient to effect that, inasmuch
| as conditions precedent must be met.
This obstacle no longer exists; MI. Bowen
is prepared to pay down Immediately the
small cash indemnity on account of per-
sonal insults sustained that the allies are
now willing to accept as sufficient to in
augurate arbitration at The Hague.

A COAL SUBSTITUTE
Best Fuel Famine Story Of the Sea-

F.. ... - Omaha. ISL. .
Gahan's Artificial Fuel Burns Better
Than the Real Thing and
Is Cheaper.

Special to The Journal.
Omaha, Neb., Feb. 3.-Dr. NJ. J. Gahan
of this city has completed tests and an
nounces that as a result of his expert
ments he is able to produce an artificial
anthracite equal in all respects to the real
article. and that the product he has in
vented can be manufactured and put upon
the market much cheaper than anthracite
or bituminous Goals. DR.. Gahan has COM
pleted the manufacture Of 500 pounds OF
his coal substitute. "
The coal is Of a gray greenish hue,
not unlike moIdy bread in appearance.
The article is produced from chemicals,
all of which but one, the inventor says,
can be found in any agricultural state.
The artificial coal burns with blush
flame and it's heating capacity is said to
be twice that of anthracite and will last
20 per cent longer time.

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 medica'
college, that he made a full confession tt
the prospector.
1t was this confession that brought tt
light the wholesale devastation Of the
graveyards around Indianapolis.
The cases promise to be drawn out in
