FIGHT
IS not ENDED
Independents Do Not Accept the
Setback in the Senate as
Final.

Tt was body blow, I will admit,
but not knockout by any means"
said q. III. Moulton, president oflthe
Twin City Telephone company, to-day,
regarding the action of the senate
committee in emitting the Tawney
resolution from the postoffice appro-
priation bill. This amendment pro-
vided that no part of the appropria-
ton should be expended for telephone
service in postoffices where the post
master is required to use no: other
than the Bell service.
This was only the report of. the
committee to whom the matter, was
referred and the senators may not con-
cur In the report said Mr.. Moulton.
eff they do, it must go back to the
house and there it may result in q tie
UP Of the entire appropriation. What
the house will do in the event of such
an action by the senate remains to be
seen.
I'VE expected trouble in the senate,
as it is naturally a monopolistic body
and there is a strong Bell lobby at
the house should concur, there will
then be a bill introduced providing
that the postmaster general shall not
dictate what particular phones the
postmasters must use. It is not q
matter of business involved. It is a
principle. The postoffice department
has no right to discriminate in such a
matter and Postmaster General Payne
is the first to do so. The matter is not
ended by any means"

SENTENCE or BOY
BANDITS ILLEGAL
Attorneys Take Advantage Of
Technicality to Have Three
Prisoners Released.

Chicago, March 31.-A seemingly
bad bung1e in the sentence of the car
barn bandits, Marx, Weidermeier and
Van Dine, confronts the states attor-
ney's office.
The Illinois statutes provide that
the date set for hanging must not
be earlier than the tenth day of the
next term of the state supreme court,
nor later than the twenty-hfth day
from the time sentence is pronounced.
April 22, the date on which the ban
dts were to be hanged, will be the
tWenty-seventh day from the time sem
tence was pronounced.
The attorneys for the defense have
been quietly waiting until the present
term of court expires, expecting then
to have the sentences set aside and the
three bandits released.
Before any action could be taken by
the states attorney application was
corpus In behalf of the bandits. The
writs were issued by Judge Chytraus,
and were made returnable Monday.
Commenting to-day on the tangle,
Judge George H. Kersten, who sentenced
the bandits. said:
II was aware of the violation Of the
exact terms Of the statute, but Assistant
States Attorney Barnes and Assistant
States Attorney lsen had consulted upon
this question and accepted the opinion
of the attorneys. If the first sentence
was an error, then no sentence has been
imposed That being the case, the pris-
oners can be sentenced now and the date
of the execution be fixed for the same
day, since April % will come within the
limit Of twenty-five days from date"

DIE CAST WITH
IOWA MINERS
1880 Will Be Out Of Employ
ment Because of Differences
With Operators.

Des Moines, Iowa. March 31.-Un-
able to agree, to an arbitration Of their
differences, the Iowa miners and.
operators split in joint conference to-
day and every mine in the state will
be shut down, throwing 1850 miners
out of employment. The conference
adjourned a, session covering a period
of six weeks, the latter part of which
was devotedto an attempt to arrive at
some amicable conclusion.
The split resulted from a refusal on.
the part Of the operators to raise the
wages Of the unskilled laborers and to
lower the price of blasting powder de-
manded by the miners.
The refusal to increase the wages OF
unskilled workmen such as mule-driv-
ers and topmen at Sthe beginning Of
the conference extended, only to GER
tain districts, but at the close Of the
conference the operators demanded
that 1t should be universal and apply
to every district of the state. Sum-
med up the situation is this:
First-The miners demand a reduction
In the price Of blasting powder from s.
to $1.75+a can. They. demand a. uniform
advance in the scale of wages paid top
men, and that drivers in districts No. /
and receive the same scale as in dis
tricts No. and g..
Z Second-The operators assert they are
standing by the Indianapolis agreement,
and in so doing cannot submit to general
increases in the wage paid .unskilled labor
thruout the district. There is no dissat-
.isfaction with the scale paid skilled work
men in any district. :

RUSSIANS LURED TO TRAP

Scouts Give Wrong Information and
E Defeat at Chong-ju Results.
New York bun special Service.
Chi-fu, March 81 1t now appears
that the engagement Monday morning,
west Of the old Picking road and near
Chong-ju, was precipitated by misin-
tcI1enkO, in command Of the Cossack
forces on the Yalu.
Scouts had Informed Major Nikol-
skoe of the second Usuri Cossack regi-
ment, operating in the mountains west
of Vixen, that a force Of only four
companies of Japanese infantry held
Chong-ju. This was communicated to (.
General Mishtchenko at KWak-san, !;
not Ka-san, and he Immediately at
tempted to destroy this force with four
squadrons of the second Usuri and
three squadrons of the Arkunsk regi-
ment, commanded by Captain Kras-
nostanoff.
The Japanese retired as the Cos
sacks appeared and in doing SO
brought the Russians into a trap.
Three squadrons Of Japanese, coming
suddenly from the east by the Ku-
song road, began an attack. General (
Mishtchenko had to fight his way back |
to the valley, and the information last /
night makes it certain that he lost at :
least a dozen In killed and PROBABLY
forty in wounded.
Three Japanese cruisers Of the Sec
ond-class were in Chinanpho bay
Tuesday morning, but departed with
five transports filled with soldiers and
war supplies. This indicates a land
ing still further north in Korea, per-
haps at Yongampho. by Saturday.

500 EACH YEAR
FOR old SOLDIERS
Representative Lind Secures an
Amendment Giving Money
to State Homes.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Warrington.
Washington, March s1.--Represen-:
tative John Lind Of Minneapolis, with
the aid Of Crumpacker Of Indiana and
Bill Of California, introduced an
amendment to the sundry civil bill
to-day. affecting the federal appropria-
ton in support Of state soldiers
homes.
This amendment goes to the heart Of
a. question that has agitated the old
soldiers Of Minnesota for many years,
and has several times appeared in the
legislature.
The amendment proposes that state
homes be allowed 500 q year for
every old soldier inmate.
Heretofore the government has Civ
en- 500 for every soldier who turned
over his pension to the state, and
$50 for every soldier who did not.
The amendment puts both classes on
an equal footing, and further pro-
vides that the old soldier inmates OF
state homes may retain their pensions
without prejudice.

Star of David Bennett Hill Is
Once More in the

Leader Murphy Loses First Bat

Politics.
New York Will Give Solid Sup
port to Justice in Con-
VentiOn.
New York Sun Special Service.


Chicago, March 31.-Walter Well
man, in an Albany special to the
Record Herald, says:
New York will give solid support 10
Justice Parker in the democratic ma
tional convention at st. Louis. It will
big block OF seventy-eight votes. As
the south and many other states are
swinging into line for Judge Parker,
there Is now little if any doubt Of his
nomination..
Tammany men here now admit that
former Senator Hill and the friends Of
Judge Parker will control the state
convention and that 1t Will be in their
power to pass resolution 1nstructing
the delegation to vote as unit for
Parker Leader Murphy of Tammany
has lost his first battle in the larger
field Of national politics, and the star
of David Bennett Hill Is once more in
the ascendant. = @~-
There is no doubt whatever that the
state convention, which is to meet
three weeks hence. will instruct for
Justice Parker. Senator Hill esti-
mates that more than 800 of the $50
delegates to that convention will be In
favor Of Parker. ~---..........--.
The friends Of Justice Parker, in
Guiding Mr.. Hill, feel very sure of his
nomination at st. Louis. They say
they do not see how the democracy
of the remainder of the country can
disregard the wishes of the party in
this great state.
Moreover, they receive advices daily
which show that the south and west
have no wish to do anything but fol-
low the lead Of New York, with the
party here uniting in support of the
Judge, and thus presenting the one
formidable, respectable movement in
the national party.
They believe such an impetus will
be given the party cause to make
1t virtually irresistible. Long before
the convention meets at st. Louis. they
predict, Judge Parker will be the
choice Of more than two-thirds of all
the delegates. - ---- =

Chicago, March misrepresentation
Martin. of South Dakota is coming to
Chicago to insert his private probe
beneath the epidermis Of the cor
pulent beef trust. Mr.. Martin re-
Gently arose in the halls of congress
and made the unqualified assertion
that the live stock markets Of the
country are under. the domination Of
a combine and its "up to him. to
make good,'' to use the vernacular.
Preliminary to his personal appear
ance on the stockyards stage, the
champion Of the antitrust force re-
sponsible for this investigation adj
dressed letters to score of Chicago
Several dealers that had received
Mr.. Martins epistle and had
answered it.
Pressed further they became reti-
cent. But one more candid than the
rest acknowledged having furnished
the South Dakota statesman with
some facts and promised more If he
cared to come for them, and the an
swer promptly came that he would
avail himself Of the offer.
The cattlemen here are not Of the
opinion, however, that Mr.. Martin will
dig up many trust secrets or ex-
ton of skeletons in the trust closet.
Said one Of them yesterday:
''The existenca Of the meat trust

GORNIAN SOUNDS SLOGAN
Democrats Leader Urges Postal In
quiry as Campaign Issue.

=
Washington, March 31.-The demo-
Gratis sprung their new issue in con-
gress yesterday. 2ssf xszl. II
' 1t was Leader German in the senate
who set the ball rolling.
The beacon he offered his party to
be a pillar Of smoke by day and Of
flame by night was the cry, "Investi-
gate the rascals!" He berated the
republicans because congress would
not order an investigation of the post
office department to proceed coinci-
dentally with the investigation still
progressing within the department.
He tried to draw the inference that
the republican party was shielding the
department from investigation and
protecting the crooks from punish
rnent. He arraigned the dominant
party for proposing an early adjourn
ment Of congress and tainted the re-
publicans with yielding to usurpation
of power by the executive. ~.
While this was proceeding in the
senate one of the democratic leaders
in the house, Mr.. De Almond of Mis-
souri,, member of the committee on
rules, introduced a resolution author
izing the appointment of special
committee to investigate the postoffic
department during the recess of con-
gress. He knows it will be adversely
reported and will give the democrats
another opportunity 10 upbraid the
majority for falling. to get excited over
democratic campaign slogans.

EARTH SW ALLOWS
MAINE MOUNTAIN
New England Earthquake Due to
Volcanic Disturbance, Form
ing Muddy Lake.

Caribou, Me-, March Sit appears
that the earthquake turnout New
England on March 81 was caused by
volcanic disturbances in northern
Maine. Bald Mountain, in the tt
bouque valley, was not q very impos-
ing feature Of the country, but Erath err
a conical hill, celebrated for its steep
and almost inaccessible sides. In it's
place now there is only a muddy lake.
Formerly at the base Of Bald Noun
tain, there were boiling springs, 80
in them in winter. Near by, Plaster
Rock furnishes plaster suitable for
building purposes.
It is now believed that Bald Noun
tain was the cone Of a volcano, which
when it sank March al, caused what
all New England called an earth
quake. ~

Tonghanks Pledged to Stay All
Who Do. Not Bear Certain
Mark.
Seoul Flooded With Counterfeit
Money and Native Finances
Ruined.

Seoul, March "a, via Chi-fu, March
S1.--The internal situation In Korea
is grave. Outside of the reach Of
Japanese bayonets anarchy practical
5ly reigns. The suppression OF the
sPeddlers'. guild has been followed by
numerous small rebellions.
Even the main road between Seoul
and Pieng-yang is perilous. Messen-
gers are continually robbed and beat
en-. Inhabitants in the extreme north
sern part of Korea remain in the,
mountains and are suffering acute dis
tress.
The Tonghanks are now avowedly
Russophile. They displayed great ac-
tivity In Pieng-yang province before
the Japanese advance, and it is an
nounced by the Tonghanks and their
followers that they will soon have
the palms of their hands marked and
that all palms unmarked among all
foreigners and Christians will be
killed in May.
While the Japanese are successful.
the Tonghanks are powerless, but the
Japanese retreat will certainly be fol-
lowed by rising. Troops have been
moved against the rebels in Hang
yang province. B
Seoul is flooded with counterfeit
Korean money, The native fnanciers
have been ruined. Many already are
bankrupt. The native markets reflect
the Distress crows being offered as
food.
Japanese press censorship is rapid,
ly Tightening. It now extends beyond
the military movements and includes
references to local distur Dances. 1A0
censorship applies to private letters =
addition to kilograms.
The attitude Of the Japanese authors
tiles towards correspondents is e1cit-3
ing deep resentment. The corresponds
ents, who, upon their arrival at Seoul
from Toxic, were strongly pro-Japa-5
nese, are now allowing personal
grievances to obscure their vision and
have completely changed their atti-

COLOMBIA LOSES
SUIT OYER CANAL
French Courts Refuse to Admit
Claims Of Republic as
Valid.
Strip Declared TO Be Under the
Jurisdiction Of
Panama.
Decision Removes Legal Obstacle
in Way Of Transfer to
III America.

against the Panama Canal company in
favor OF the defendants. +,
The decision. holds that the COM
plant OF Columbia Is not receivable
and condemns the plaintiffs to pay the
costs Of the action. This decision has
the erect OF removing the legal OBJ
stacles In the way OF the transfer OF
the canal concession from the COM
ipany to the United States.
The decision sets forth the various
acts OF the Colon ian congress, the
treaties, etc, particularly articles 20,
q and ~ Of the treaty OF March 20,
1878, whereby the company acquired
its rights. 80 q
These articles" the decision says,
have the manifest purpose Of assur-
Ing the full exercise Of sovereignty
over the canal. It results from what
1s established before this tribunal that
Colombia is not In possession Of the
territory trayersed by the canal.
BY coming before a French court
canal. Colombia tacitly admits its in
ability to itself control the canal. It
therefore follows, naturally that it has
lost sovereignty over the territory
trayersed by the canal.
1t also appears that this SOW
eretgnty is maintained by the new re-
public Of Panama, which is in actual
possession Of the authority and power
of administration and Of police. IN
der. such circumstances, it only re-
mains for the Panama company to
accept the actual situation of author
ity and the facts relative to the ter
ritory embraced by the concession.
Therefore the action commenced by
Colombia Is not receivable y :
The decision concludes with the
specific recital under the French code
that none Of the claims set up by
Colombia are valid, that its request
to esjoin pending actions is not war
ranted, that its plea for costs against
the company is not justified, and that
the entire costs Of the procedure are
assessed against the plaintiff.
