Secretary Wilson has scored
one in his controversy with the
officials of the terminal railroads.
They insisted that the law which
required the unloading, for feed
ing and watering, of stock in
transit once in each twenty eight
hours apply only to through
roads and while they were So
maintaining the Secretary was
gathering evidence with which
he now proposes to institute up
wards of four hundred prosecu-
tions. The Attorney General
has rendered an opinion uphold
ing the correctness of the Sec
retary's construction of the 'aw
and many of the railroads are
preparing to pay their fines with
out entering any defense.

The tribulations of the stand
patter" are many and now Ger
many has added one more. The
Treasury deficit was bad enough,
the righteousness of the trusts
was worse, and now comes Ger
many and declares her intention
of assessing a high discriminat-
ing duty on American products
in retaliation for the Dingley
tariff act. OF course most of
Germany's importations from the
United States consist of wheat,
-four and other agricultural pro-
ducts so that it is only the farm
ers and not the trusts that will
suffer from the discrimination,
but even the farmers may weary
of continually contributing to the
profits of the trusts. Even the
worm has been known to turn.

TERRIBLE TEDDY KNUcKLEs
The President VIII Defer to Leaders
on Tarif-Leaves Question to FL
nance Committee OF Senate.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE author
itative announcement is made tonight
that the president will abide wholly by.
the decision of the finance committee
committee Of the house of representa-
tives as to whether there shall be re-
vision Of the tariff at an extra session
of ongress. This question is onceded
by the president to be wholly a party
one, although he stands personally for.
a moderate readjustment Of schedules.
In the matter OF freight rate legisla-
ton and his naval programme he is,
determined to fight to the last.
This announcement was made this
evening in the form Of statement
from zone who was present at the
Saturday afternoon conference at the
white house. It is as follows:
"One Of those who was present at
the Saturday afternoon conference be-
tween the p-esidel-. and finance lead
ers Of the senate and house, says that
the president told them that while he
did not believe IN any sweeping revis-
ion Of the tariff, and would abide alb
solutely by the Judgment of the two
houses of congress 10 & mater that
related so particularly 10 them yet
he did think that the time had come
when the schedules should be fairly
examined, and that there should 0e Q.
readjustment as to certain of them.
'The president added that his ogyr2
view was that special session should
take place at the earliest date at
which the committee Of the two
houses could come to an agreement as
to a bill. # they took this view, he said,
he would hold himself ready to call
the extra session at whatever time
the members of the two committees
and especially the house committee ON
Ways and Means should inform him
that they would be ready with re-
port
It was further said that the press-
dent informed those present that he
would fight for interstate commerce
legislation and his naval programme,
but that there was no possibility Of
split over the tariff.

Dead Man Received Full Charge OF
Buckshot Over the Cabin Door.


knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 10.-John
Carver, a member of a posse Of reve-
nue. officers in charge Of Captain Wit
Spears Of the local raiding force, was
shot and instantly killed in Cooke
county, Tennessee, this morning while
on raid. The officers had located and
destroyed a 7o-ga11on still just across
the state line in North Carolina and
had arrested William Prince, one Of
the owners, while he was at work in
the distiliery. Carver and Oscar Hop
kins, another posseman. were sent to
the home Of Wrn. n. Brown, a partner
in the still, to arrest him. Brown re-
fused to admit the officers but instead
shot over the door Of his log cabin
home, killing Carter instantly. The full
charge Of buckshot entered Carver's
breast, tearing out his heart. Brown
escaped. Price was brought to New
port, Tenn, and jailed there. This is
the first death of revenue raid in
this section since Sheriff Dosser of
Coke county was killed about 4 years
ago, within 400 yards of where today's
tragedy occurred.

CONGRESS DISCUSSES COTTON.
Representative johnson, of This State
Expresses Desire to Put Specula-
tors to Flowing.

Washington, Jan. 12.-During the
debate on the army appropriation bill
in the house today Mr.. Johnson Is. c.
made q short speech on the cotton
question. He called attention to what
he said was a systematic effort, :un-
fortunately successful, to bear down
the price of cotton, and asserted that
there was no justification for such a
brutal campaign Of deception and mis-
representation. "I know" he said,
there are some kid glove gentry in
New York who would not know cot
ton patch from a pea patch, who are
undertaking to tell the world that the
southern farmer can make cotton at
4 1-2 cents. If he had the power, he
said, he would have every man who
gambled in cotton on the New York
Cotton exchange and who said that
cotton can be produce at 1-2 cents
go down and with hls own naked
hands pull the bell cord Of a mule and
make cotton at that price.
Mr.. Douglas On. ". interjected the
remark that most Of the men specu-
lating on the New York exchange were
southern men, which caused Mr.. John
son to declare that whether they were
southern men OF not, they were enc
mics Of southern people and Of good
morals everywhere. The people Of the
south were holding cotton which they
had no more idea of parting with at
the present price than the owners Of
United States bonds had Of selling
them at 25 cents on the dollar. He
predicted that before September I,
1908, thousands Of spindles in the
United States and abroad would be
idle because Of their inability to get
cotton to spin.
Mr.. johnson argued that it would
be perfectly right for the southern
cotton growers to agree among them
selves to a reduction Of the cotton
crop to the extent OF so per cent.
- Mr.. Slayden (Texas) said that cur
tailment Of the cotton crop in this
country would only encourage the
greater production Of it in other coun-
tries.
He warned the southern members
that they shoud not ne deluded by
the idea that the south possessed the
only climate or soil which could pro-
duce cotton profitably.
