R. w. Roger for Constable.

One of the important offices we
have to fill this coming election
is that of Constables. We elect
two in this district. Today ap-
pears the formal announcement
of R. w. Roger for this office, SUBJ
ject to the Republican primary
convention. Mr.. Roger has been
clerk for the Water Works during
the past year, and last month was
elected one of the City Auditors.
He has filled both of these offices
with marked ability, and having
no study or combining occupation
could, if elected, devote his whole
time to the office of Constable. He
solicits the support of his friends
at the primary, and, if nominated,
and elected, promises to discharge
his duties to the best of his skill
and judgment.

u. S. Leads the World.

Geological survey statistics to-
day made public at Washington
place the worlds production OF
petroleum in 1902 at 1S5, Isl, OS9
barrels. Of this the United States
and Russia produced 91.44 per
cent barrels. For years Russia
has led in point of production,
but an increase of 19,377,722 bar
rels in the production of the Uni
ted States in 1902, and a decrease
amounting to 4,62S,515 barrels in
the production of Russia caused
these two countries to change
places and put the United States
at the head of the list. The Uni
ted States produces nearly &c
barrels of refined products in 1902
for every barrel produced by the
rest of the world.

VICTORY FOR GOVERNMENT.
What is Said at the Interstate Com
missions Office.

Assistant Secretary Decker of the inter-
gate commerce commission. in the absence
of any of the members of the commission,
said TO a reporter for The Star that he did
no: think the decision of the Supreme Court
I'm favor Of the government would have any
particular effect on future actions that
might be brought against corporate bodies
through the fundamentally of the inter-
state commerce commission.
He said that this case stood. in way,
alone and that anything that might be
done toward lessening the power of great
trusts in the future would have to have
foundat ton of its own upon which to stand
and that 1t could not depend upon this de-
cslon as an establishment of a precedent
10 maintain their contentious.
1T IS the recognition" he said. "of fed
eral authority which could we'll be expected
from previous decisions of the Supreme
Court in the same class of cases.
Il do not think It has any bearing upon
the general investigation of the trusts
This decision only relates to the authority
of the United States TO compel disclosures
OF matters connected with the carrying on
Of Interstate commerce, and apparently has
no bearing upon the application of the anti
trust law to the particular facts which may
be elected III any case"
Secretary Moseley, who is absent on
leave. was an interested auditor in the
court room during the rendering of the
decision. He said that it was a great vic
tory for the government and that he was
glad to have lived 10 hear such a decision
by such body on matter of such tre-
mendous importance TO the safety and in
tegrity of Interstate commerce relations.

ADJOURNS AT MIDNIGHT.
Maryland Legislature Closes Session
Noted for Extravaganza.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
STATE HOUSE, Annapolis. Md. April 4.
The general assembly of Maryland will
adjourn for the session at midnight.
The session has been chiefly noted for the
fact that it will exceed all records for ex-
travagance. The expenses having gone up
to s2O.OOO. which Is at least 10000 in ex-
cess OF all its predecessors.
Another feature of the session has been
the complete estrangement between Gov
ernor Warfield and the leaders of his
party.
This estrangement bids fair to have a
serious effect on the democratic party and
prophets are not few in number who say
that 1t will result in placing Maryland
again In the republican ranks and give
the electoral vote of the state to President
Roosevelt next November.
The bills which have been passed to
emasculate the present election laws of the
state now in the hands of the governor.
The belief is general here that lie will veto
all of them. and the session will have
been closed. there will be chance to
pass them over his veto.
The Haman bill 10 lease the oyster beds
OF the Chesapeake bay and its tributaries is
row undergoing its final test. 1t VII proba-
bly, be passed by the Senate, but no one
can foretell its fate in the House, where
II will be taken up tonight.
Altogether the democratic leaders who are
here say that the session has been pro-
ductive of very little good to their party.
while the republicans claim that 1t has
placed their party in better shape than it
has been for several years.

THE SENATE.

1he post once appropriation bill was laid
before the Senate today at the conclusion
son took the floor to speak on his bill, to re-
peal the desert Land act and the commuta-
ton provision of the homestead act.
lie denied that railroad lobby is back cr
the proposition for the repeal of general
land laws and refuted the statement that
the motive of the men favoring the repeal
Is to Increase the value of private holdings
1sir. Gibson read from Mr.. HanSbrough's
speech to the effect that a lobby was back
of the deal and criticised Mr. Hansbrough
for not naming at least one of the railroads
or persons he alleged to be back of the
movement for the repeal of tine land laws.
Mr.. IIansbrough asked Mr. Gibson if he
did net know that George Fl. Maxwell is re-
Ceiying a princely salary from several land
grant railroads. whose principal busin SO
mas been to advocate the repeal of the land
laws nd deGounce all those who do not
agree With him.
Mr.. Gibson answered that the National
Irrigation Association is interested in the
repeal of the laws. He said he is willing TO
admit that Mr.. Maxwell is the main push"
Mr.. Quarles said he had heard a great
deal about lobby for the repeal of the
land laws, and wanted to know why it was
that this lobby had manifested itself to the
opposition only. He suggested that the
lobby looks like DOGGY man which land
grabbers" are trying to raise here. and that
these land grabbers are trying to people
the air with ghosts and hobgoblins.
Object to Term "Land Grabbers."
Mr. Hansbrough protested against the
term land grabbers being applied to the
opponents to the bill. and referred to letters
which had been addressed to himself to
show that a vigorous effort was being made
for the repeal of the land laws.
Mr.. Quarles submitted that such an er-
fort as had been described would be
''idiotic."
Mr. Gibson spoke of J. J. Hill and his
railroad building, and the fact that his had
not been scrip railroad.
AS Mr.. Gibson started to read from
speech by MIR. Hill. Mr.. Hansbrough inter-
rupted to say that an unfriendiy Issue can
not be raised between h m and Mr.. Hill, as
they are friends though not agreeing on
the question of land laws. He said they did
agree, however, on the question of irri-
CATION.
Mr.. Gibson paid a tribute to Mr.. Hill and
his work in developing western countries
Mr.. Warren said it was wrong. however,
to refer to Mr.. Hill as not interested in land
grant railroads. as he is the president OF
the Northern Securities Company, which
owns both the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific railroads.
Consideration of the post office appropria-
ton bill was then resumed. An amendment
was offered by Mr.. Lodge to the paragraph
providing for the lease of the New York
Central site in New York city for a post
Office building. The amendment limits the
lease to ten years, with privilege of an in
crease for twenty-five years more. at an
annual rental of not more than ~ per cent
of the appraised value of the space actually
occupied by the post Office building or the
total cost of the building, not exceeding
$4,000.
