Shearn Scored n Point Against the
Railroads.
New York, April 23.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day contin-
ued the investigation into the complaint
against the anthracite coal-carrylng
railroads filed by William r. Hearst
just after the recent coal strike. Coun-
sci for Mr.. Hearst called for the con-
tracts between the Temple Iron Com
pany, the Lehigh Valley, the Della
ware, Iackawanna and Western, and
the Philadelphia and Reading railroads.
Mr.. Shearn explained that the con-
tracts will show a combination or pool
of the freight interest in violation of
the law. ''These contracts" Mr..
Shearn said. will prove every mate
rial allegation in our petition. The
railroads are banded together in a hard
and fast agreement, which STILES all
competition in the coal-carrying trade
in the coal regions"
Counsel for the railroads denied this.
The commission instructed the repre-
sentative of the trust company to pro-
duce the contracts, but he refused TO
do so.
The commission will certify the re-
fusal to the United States Circuit
Court, which will determine whether
the contracts must be produced.

Cinnabar. Mont, April 23.-President
Roosevelt's vacation is at an end. He
greeted the members of his party and
a large number of people at the Mann
moth Hot Springs Hotel in Yellowstone
Park to-day and will resume his tour
tomorrow. He arrived at Fort yell
lowstone yesterday, and is the picture
of health. He and all those who ac
companied him on his tour of the
park are delighted with the trip. No
ACCIDENT occurred to mar the pleasure
of the party, and, for the most part,
they were favored with delightful
weather
The President spent most of his time
studying the habits of the different
species of game that abound in the
park. He would lie for hours near a
herd of elk or mountain goats and
frequently walk eight or ten miles to
observe them. He also studied bird
life with Mr.. Burroughs.
While fortunately there were no ac-
cidents number of amusing incidents
occurred. One of them happened dur
ing the visit to Geyserland, a few days
ago. The President and Mr.. Burroughs
were on skis and started to race down
hill. The snow was soft and Mr.. Bur-
roughs, who had never used a ski be-
fore soon found himself with his head
in the snow and his feet in the air.
He had hardly struggled to his feet
when the President repeated the per-
Torrance. Neither one was hurt, but
Maj. Pitcher secured excellent photo
grahpS of the catastrophe, which he
has promised to have developed.
One day, in company with Maj.
Pitcher, the President fired a new re-
volver at a tree. The weapon was de-
fective and the empty shell flew back
and struck the President on the cheek,
drawing the blood. If it had struck
a little higher it would have injured
an eye.
The President rode a big gray horse
during the whole of his tour. The
horse is one of the surest-footed ami
mails in the park. To reach the first
camp it was necessary to traverse for
about two miles narrow mountainous
trail, which was covered with ice.
Some of the party dismounted and
led their horses down the trail, for
miss meant death or serious injury,
but the President stuck to the saddle
and guided his mount safely down. He
spent Easter Sunday alone, in climb
ing mountains and walking along the
trail. He covered fully twenty miles.
The first three days in camp the
weather was extremely cold, and the
President was compelled to break the
ice in his bucket before performing his
morning ablutions. Maj. Pitcher kept
a diary while in camp, which shows
in detail how the President spent his

ADVANCES IN RATES
Are Not Justified, Says the COM
merce Commission.

merce COmmissiOn
New York, April 2S-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day an
nounced a decision in the case of pro-
posed advances in freight rates on var
ious articles between Chicago and New
York, and in the case of Proctor &
Gamble against the Cincinnati Ham
ilton and Dayton Railroad, involving
the classification of common soap.
The proposed advances in freight
rates affected iron articles, dressed
beef, packing house products, grain
and grain products, and have been I'M
der consideration by the commission
all winter. The commissions decision
is that the proposed advances in the
rates on grain and grain products are
not justified The finding says the
proceeding in this case was in the form
of general investigation, and that no
order can be made therefrom on the
record, but that further proceedings
will be commenced unless the respond
ent carriers readjust their rates on
grain and grain products" in accord
ance with the views in the decision, on
or before May Is, 1908.
In the Proctor & Gamble case, the
commission finds against the action of
the railroad, in increasing the classi-
fication of soap in less than carloads
from fourth to third class as unreal
sonable and unjust.

AN EXPLOSION OF OIL
CAUSED THE DEATH OF EIGHT
MEN AND TWO WOMEN.
OFFICERS AND employees
OF THE OIL COMPANY VICTIMS OF
THE ACCIDENT.

Disaster Fell without Warning at
Observation-Disclosures in the Office of
the Northwestern oil Company
Escaped Denth-ThOse Who Were
kilIed-BOdies of but Three Re-
cOvered-Senrch for the Others Is
Dangerous and DimcuIt-Property
Loss Complete.
Minneapolis, Mimi, April 23.-Ten
persons, eight men and two women,
were killed by an explosion at the
plant of the Northwestern Star Oil
Company at the foot of Sixth avenue
about 1870 o'clock this morning. The
dead are as follows:
w. H. Davis, president; c. H. Dur
rim, general manager; Stanislaus w.
Mitchell, cashier Jacob Domm, book
keeper; Miss Caroline A. Record, book
keeper; Harold c. Colborn, clerk; Miss
Ella M. Roundy, stenographer; David
Dacey, foreman; John Spontanske, lab
orer; Joseph LaFond, laborer.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning, and a second after
the conclusion the walls had been
thrown down and the entire structure
was a mass of flames. Not a person
in the office escaped alive.
Five workmen engaged on the sec
ond floor were thrown twenty feet into
the air, and these were the only per-
sons who escaped. They climbed
through the debris and are now at the
City Hospital
Although the cause of the explosion
has not been determined, it is said that
some of the employees of the company
were emptying some oil tank cars into
the tanks in the basement of the build
ing, and it is possible that sparks from
a switch engine ignited the infiam-
mable fluids.
Several explosions followed in quick
succession, sand made the work of The
firemen difficult and dangerous. The
men could not approach the ruins, and
the water thrown on the flames was
without effect Thu department could
not do anything but allow the flames
to burn themselves out and then search
for the bodies of the dead.
At a late hour tonight three bodies
had been recovered, those of Domm and
Misses Roundy and Record.
The fire is still burning and the work
of searching for the bodies is carried
on with great danger, for it is believed
that another tank filled with oil has
not exploded.
The stock was valued at $4,000 and
the building at $4,000. The insurance
was $23,7OO, and the loss is total All
that remains of the building is a fire
wall, which stood between the office
and the tank room. All the other
walls are leveled.
Since the great mill explosion of 1878
this is the greatest disaster that has
been experienced here.

GEORGE AND BOOKER
TWO GREAT WASHINGTONS IN
AMERICAN HISTORY.
THEY ARE NAMED TOGETHER
BY ANDREW CARNEGIE, WHO
GIVES TUSKEGEE 100000.

Carnegie Says Booker Washington
Is "a Modern MOses-The White and
the Black Washington Each the
Father of His PeOpIe-Requires
That Booker and His Wife Per-
sOnnIly Get n Good Slice of the
100000 DOnnted-NO Pecuniary
Cares for Them.
New York, April 23.-The trustees of
the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
Institute in Alabama have received
100000 towards the endowment fund
from Andrew Carnegie, who attended
the recent meeting in behalf of the
Tuskegee Institute, where ex-President
Grover Cleveland presided. The trus-
tees will meet soon to take formal ac-
ton in accepting the gift and at the
same time to take measures to still
further increase the endowment.
Mr.. Carnegie's letter conveying the
gift reads as follows
New York, April II, 1903. William
H. Baldwin, Jr., Trustee. My Dear
Friend I have instructed Mr.. Franks,
tee of Tuskegee Institute, 100000, 5 per
cent. United States Steel Company, first
mortgage bonds, toward the endowment
fund.
81 give this without reservation, ex-
cept that I require that suitable pro-
vision be made from the gift for the
wants of Booker Washington and his
family during his own or his wife's
life. 1 wish that great and good man
to be entirely free from pecuniary cares
that he may be free to devote himself
to his great mission.
ITO me he seems one of the great
est living men, because his work is
unique. the modern Moses, who leads
his race and shifts it through educa-
ton, to even better and higher things
than a land overlooking with milk and
honey. History is to tell of two Wash
irgtons, one white, the other black,
both fathers of their people.
81 am satisfied that the serious race
problem of the South is to be solved
wisely only through Washington's
policy of education which he seems to
have been specifically born-a slave
among slaves-to establish and in his
own day greatly advance.
"Glad am l to be able to assist this
good work in which you and others so
zealously labor. Truly yours,

GREAT BRITAIN MUST
SPEND S719,770,000
Budget Was Presented to the House
of Commons.


London, April 23.-!The budget, which
was introduced in the House of Com
mons to-day shows an estimated ex-
penditure for 10000 of $719, 10000 The
chancellor of the exchequer, Mr.. Richie,
fixed the national debt charge at $780,
100000, of which S31 100000 is available
for the sinking fund.
The estimated revenue on the exist
ing basis of taxation is $773, $50, 600,
giving an available surplus of S54,0SO,-
600.
Mr. Ritchie's proposals include the
following:
The abolition of the duty on grain;
the taxes on sugar and coal are I'M
changed; four pence is taken off the
income tax; the duty on tea, which the
trade expected would be reduced, is
not changed.
Mr.. Richie opened with the state
ment that whereas his predecessors
had to impose fresh taxation, 1t was
his task to remit burdens. He thought
there was nothing in the monetary sit
uation to create alarm. Including the
war debt the national Indebtedness
now reached the enormous total of 3d.
991, 745, 900. The chancellor however
saw no reason for apprehension in the
The chancellor viewed with great
concern the increase in the army ex-
penditure and hoped great reductions
would be possible soon. On the other
hand, the possession of a strong navy
was not a matter of national pride.
but of life or death, and to preserve
strong navy he would grudge no
cost. There was indication that some
of Great Britain's neighbors wished to
call a halt in their expenditure for
ornaments. If this was the case,
Great Britain was fully ready to fol-
low suit
The chancellor, who spoke for an
hour and fifty minutes, received APP
proving cheers, especially when he an
nounced the remission of the grain du-
ties.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, in re-
ply, said he thought it was scandal
ously unjust that the well-to-do classes
should be relieved to such an extent,
while the wage earners' only advantage
was the remission of $4,000, 900 in direct
taxation. No sober-mnded man could
justify the enormous expenditure of the
government.
