Considerable publicity has been giv- en this week to protest made by MT Rockefeller. of the Standard Oil com pany against the Nelson publicity amendment to the department of com merce bill, such protest taking the form of telegrams addressed to leading senator's As such protests are by no means uncommon and are frequently addressed to the members of both houses by persons who believe their own interests will suffer from proposed legislation. An air of mystery was added to the vent in this instance by the fact that the recipients of the tele- grams unanimously denied their re- ceipt even in the face of absolute proof to the contrary. A Washington correspondent, after being shown, con fidentially, the telegram addressed to q certain senator by the Iatters secre- tary, requested a copy of the telegram from the senator himself and was met with fiat denial of the receipt of any such message. Importance was also added to the story by the fact that the president related the details to the newspaper men who first published it..

FOR ST. PAuL's POOR.

A Bequest of Nearly S1,O00, ,OOO For Charity-Politicfans May Not Touch.
 ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 14.-The will of Mrs. Cornelia Day Wilder Appleby, only daughter of the late Amherst H. Wilder, a well known millionaire rail- road contractor, has been made public. Under the terms of her fathers will she had received an income from two- thirds of his estate, the whole being valued at more than $3,000,O0O. One third of the entire estate came to her on her marriage six years ago, so that the amount covered by the present will probably somewhat exceeds $1, ,00O, GOO.
 After making number of minor be- quests it is provided that the bulk of the large estate be invested for the benefit of the worthy poor of the city of St. Paul, without regard to color or religious belief and independently of any organized charities, hospitals or other institutions, with a central or ad- ministration building from which what is to be known as 'the Amherst H. Wilder Charity" snail be carried on. Trained nurses are to be regularly en- ployed for the benefit of the worthy poor.
 It, is specifically provided that no pol itician shall. ever have anything to do with the administration of the charity.

Three More Dead at Ithaca.

ITHACA, N. Y., Feb. 14.-Three more deaths from typhoid fever have oc- cured here. Two were those of towns people and the third that of a student, George A. Wessmen of Passaic, N. J., a junior in the mechanical engineering department of Cornell university. The number of new cases reported seems to show that the worst of the epidemic is over and that the precautions being taken against the use of infected city water are proving effective. No new cases were reported among students of Cornell university. A census of the students of the university shows that in spite of the departure of many for their homes four-ffths of the total reg istration are regularly attending their classes.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1903,

Spring trade promises to open under favorable auspices, says Banker Henry Clews. Consumption continues on an unprecedented scale, factories have an abundance of orders, and the rail- road system is almost broken down under the pressure of traffic. Labor is actively employed at the highest wages on record, and the only element of warning in the industrial world is the large increase in costs of produc- tion. This is a factor that sooner or later must arrest development and bring us into closer competition with foreign producers, where cost of labor and materials is much cheaper. Such a reaction is not yet in sight, but it is not far distant, and may come sooner than expected if these costs are pushed any higher. The moment production overtakes consumption the reaction will begin, and it can only be delayed by prudent control of both capital and labor.

THIRD TRUST LAW.
Elkins Rebate Bill Passed by
 the House.
NO MORE ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.
Six Members Voted Against the Bill Because of It's Rigorous Terms. Crowds In the Senate to
 Hear Booth.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Under the operation of a special order which cut off opportunity to offer amendments the house after debate of an hour by vote of 241 to passed the Elkins , bill to prohibit rebates to shippers. The six members who voted against the bill were Democrats. Mir LittIeneld (Me) was present, but did not vote on either the rule or the bill. The Democrats protested against the rigor Dus terms of the rule. It had been their purpose, they said, to offer the provi- sions Of the Littlefield bill as an amend ment to the bill MT. Dalzell (Pa.), MT. Overstreet 1nd.) and MT. Hepburn iIa) practically announced that with the passage of the Elkins bill the anti trust legislation for this session of con- gross would be complete. During the debate MT. Cochran (do., Dem.) brand ed one of MT. Hepburn's statements as deliberate he." Contrary to the usual custom this strong language had no se- guel.
 The remainder of the session was de- voted to the sundry civil appropria ton bill, which was practically completed. No effort was made to pass it, as there was no quorum present.
 An immense crowd was attracted to the senate to hear the invocation of General William Booth, founder and commander in chief of the Salvation Army. Among the occupants of the galleries were Booth Tucker, the gen. erals chief assistant and son-in-law, and a large number of Salvationists.
 When the sta tehood bill came up MT. Depew resumed his remarks. He at lacked the Mormon church because, he said, he believed it's members still cling to the practice of polygamy. MT. Raw fins replied, saying that if the Mor- mons were not interfered with they would work out their own destiny.
 Senator Elkins consulted members of the committee on interstate commerce and secured an agreement to concur in the amendments to the Elkins antire- bate bill passed by the house when it Is received by the senate. This action will send the bill to the president.

Wells New, re- ports a temperature of 42 degrees be- low zero, and B degrees below was re- corded at Winnemucca. Several freight trains are. reported stalled on sidings across the Nevada desert, the cold be- ing so extreme that it was impossible to keep up steam. Much loss to live stock is feared in Wyoming, where conditions before the cold wave were very unfayorable.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
es<IIIed Labor and It's Output Une@ qual to Demand-Cotton Scarce.

es<fIIed Labor and It's Output Une~
 quaI to Demand-Cotton Scarce.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Disproportion between supply and demand is still a factor of strength in many commodities, while similar condi- tfons exist as to skilled labor, retard- ing much work and in some cases post poning important undertakings and im- provements. Wages have been ad- yanced voluntarily asld also in response to demands by organized labor. con spicuous example of the latter occur red in bituminous coal mining, and a corresponding advance in price will be made. Last months phenomenal ton mage of anthracite relieved the pres sure, 5.900,00o tons establishing a new monthly record, and mild weather com blned to restore more normal quota tions, retailers in this vicinity reduc- ing prices to $6.5O.
 Sound conditions continue to prevail in the1iron and steel industry, with few developments of note. Coke is fin some what better supply, making it possible to operate blast furnaces with less in- terruption than was experienced when the month opened, but there is con- stant complaint of the scarcity and high prices commanded by pig iron Finished steel products have not risen proportionately, although they are in good demand.
 Cotton has taken the leading position of the great staples, both as to extent of advance and volume of speculative transactions. A rise of about $75O a bale within comparatively short pe- riod in the option markets is largely due to the efforts of short interest to cover contracts. Visible supplies are lower than at the corresponding date in any year of the past decade.
 A British trade estimate that the worlds wheat crop has surpassed all previous records by 152, 100000 bushels failed to depress quotatio Limited stocks at available points, restricted shipments and steady demand, both for milling and export, sustain the mar kets, although speculation for an ad- vance became less aggressive.
 Failures for the week numbered 23O in the United States against 24O last year, and 20 ill Canada compared with B year ago.

The national house of representa- tiyes has passed bill providing for an addition to the capitol and an office building for it's members. As congress sional courtesy prohibits other than favorable action by one house on any measure having for it's object the con- venience of the other house, the senate is certain to approve the house bill without amendment. The latter pro- yides for the extension of the center east front of the capitol a distance of jos feet, this being in accordance with the Walter plans which were approved by President Fillmore in 1859. The cost of the extension will beS2. 100000. The office building, which will be erect ed just south of the capitol, will con form to the latter in style of architec- ture and will cost $3,10O,0O0 in addi- ton to the cost of the site which is estimated at $500, coo. When completed probably three years hence, the new accommodations will provide an office for every member of the house, where as at present only the chairmen of com mittees have offices of their own. The rooms are to be deliberately finished in leather and will be provided with hand some mahogany tables, couches, etc, also hot and cold water and other con- veniences. The cost of furnishings is not included in the above estimate. office building, which will be about 800 feet distant, will be constructed tun- nel through which will run electric passenger cars for the convenience of members.
