Mr. Price at once took the ground
that the report was libelous so far as
he was concerned. Through his counsel
he requested Secretary Wilson formal
~ to retract. This the secretary re-
fused to do, and now the investigation
is to proceed by order Of President
Roosevelt, with prospect Of criminal
prosecutions following. Evidence ap-
peared to show Holmes had accepted
in one case direct bride Of $4,000 to
betray the governments secret figures
concerning the cotton crop. 1t is esti-
mated that Holmes and others had
thus secured $1,00OOOO or more. There
were rumors Of irregularities In other
sections of the crop reports, and a gen
eral overhauling was ordered similar
to that which was given to the post
office department last year.
Panama Railroad Report.
The investigation of the status Of
the Panama railroad by Special Com
missioner Bristow reached the presi-
dent July 10. Mr.. Bristow finds that
the complaint as to high local rates
has been remedied by new schedules,
adopted Feb. last He also finds that
the rates charged and facilities fur
nished by the Pacific Mail are reasona-
BILE and that the complaints are not
well founded. He recommends that
the Panama railroad be continued as
commercial line, with improved ia
ciliries, with a double track, modern
rolling stock and all modern port |
facilities. He urges retaining the |
steamship line between New York and |
Colon, that contracts with the Pacific |
Mail and South American lines be can

A New Anaesthetic.


According to an article translated
for the Literary Digest from the Paris
Cosmos, the hospitals Of Paris are now
experimenting with substance known
as scopolamin, an alkaloid extracted
from plant of the nightshade family,
which when used as an anaesthetic has
none of the disagreeabIe after effects
which appear to be inseparable from
chloroform, ether and cocaine. This
new agent enables the patient to go to
sleep pleasantly before an operation,
to go on sleeping peacefully after it
and to awaken as from natural sleep,
with health and appetite unimpaired.
The substance is used mixed with NOR
phine, and three hypodermic injections
are required. While under the influ-
ence if the patient be shaken or spoken
to loudly or if noise is made near
him he will awake at once, but if he
is pricked or pinched there is no sign
Of sensitiveness. The duration of the
sleep averages four or five hours after
the operation.
A Boat That Skins the Water.
M de Lambert, the French inventor,
has achieved some success with new
tangled boat which skins along the
surface of the water, thus avoiding the
resistance caused by water in front OF
the ordinary boat The trial boat has
a total length Of twenty feet and a
width Of ten feet. It has two inclined
planes made of wood and twelve
horsepower motor. When the boat is
at rest the planes are immersed and
the weight of the boat is supported by
parallel floats united by crosspieces.
When the motor is started the boat
begins to move forward horizontally,
but as soon as the speed increases the
inclined planes lift the boat to the sur
face, whereupon the speed at once in
creases because Of the immense dim
mutton Of resistance, and the boat be-
gins to glide on layer of air resting
between the planes and the water up
to speed Of fourteen, fifteen or TWEEN
ty-five miles an hour.
Peary's Departure Delayed.
Just as Commander Peary was about
to sail from New York on the Roose-
welt, as announced, his plans were in
terfered with by the resignation Of his
surgeon and by the need of more
funds. His appeal for at least $4,000
more to provide the expedition with
what was needed met with prompt re-
Spouse from Morris K Jesup, Thomas
Fl. Hubbard, John D. Rockefeller,
George Croker and others. A fund
Of $4,000 was also started, to be given
to the men of the expedition if they
succeed in reaching the pole.

More Equitable crookedness.

More Equitable CrookeoneSs.
Still lower depths Of financial degrz~
dalton have been sounded by the dis
closures contained in the evidence sub
mitted to New York's insurance super
intendent concerning the books Of the
Equitable Assurance society. One
point which attracted special attention
is the denial Of Jacob III. Schiff thar
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had ever sold HaE-
riman railroad stocks to the Equitable,
Notwithstanding that the books Of the
latter recorded such sales, exceeding
81, 100000. Thus Justification Of rec
ords was added to the other charges
Of crookedness in the management OF
the great fiduciary trust. Another
point which still more has called down
Walls of wrath from the policy holders
and scorn from the public was the dis
coyery that loan of $3.50, 900 had been
made to the Depew Improvement COM
pany, in which Senator Depew had Z
large interest, Notwithstanding that:
the assessors had placed the value OF
the company at $4,000. The paE-
ticularly impressive feature of thn
transaction, however, was that Nr.
Depew himself voted for the loan as 3
director of the society at the same
time that he was drawing salary Gc
$4,000 as special counsel.
The fact came out that Senator Ws-
pew, who is now In Europe, had tgE-
dered his resignation as director az
the Equitable before he left this coua-
try. Mr.. Dc,ew protests that he had

Moscow's Project Assassinated.
Count Shuvaloff, the project Of po-
lice at Moscow, Russia, was shot in
his office July II by a man who was
! waiting for an audience. The project
died within thirty minutes. The as
sassin was arrested and later was iden-
titled as a revolutionist. The motive
for the crime was not SO apparent as
in the case of the Grand Duke Sergius,
for Count Shuvaloff was easy of ac-
cess and his attitude was in contrast
to the ordinary bureaucrat. A pos
sible motive lay in the fact that the
project, by order Of Trepoff, had raid
ed the recent gatherings Of zemtsvos
at Moscow.
Russia Gets the Rebel Ship.
Admiral Kruger Of the Black sea
fleet arrived at IAustendje, Roumania,
July 9 to arrange for the transfer Of
the Kniaz Potemkine, which had been
abandoned by her mutinous crew the
day before on demand of the Rouma-
MAN authorities. Later it was found
that before they left the mutineers
had opened the ships sea cocks. Be
fore the leak could be stopped the YES
sci had sunk eighteen inches and rest
ed on the bottom Of the harbor. The
water was pumped out, and Russian
crew took possession. The crew Of
the torpedo boat refused to surrender
on the ground that they were not reb-
els, but had been coerced into sup
porting the mutineers. They gave them
selves up to Russian officials. The lead
er of the mutineers was named Matu-
schenks. He and his followers went to
Bucharest. Their claim to the treas
ure Of the battleship was not recog-
niZed by Roumania. The collapse Of
the mutiny was due in part to the fact
that no officers Of ability were disaf-
fected and partly because of failure
Of other crews to join in the revolt.
French Amnesty Defeated.
The amnesty bill failed Of passage
in the French chamber Of deputies,
July ID, on account Of the violent at
tack on the Republican party and Its
sponsors. Later, however, President
Loubet decided to pardon those who
would have been benefited by the bill.
Germany Supports Sweden.
The report was current at Stock
holm that Emperor William in Sc
cret conference had promised to sup
port King Oscar in his policy Of
coercion for Norway. Germany is ex-
pected to make great demonstration
in Swedish waters within a week or
so and war on Norway seems more
probable.
Hungary DeTes Austria.
Emulating the policy Of Norway,
Hungary has taken steps toward free
ing herself from the Austrian yoke by |
to raise taxes or to furnish |
troops for the dual empire. The order |
Of the emperor adjourning parliament |
has been ignored.
The Moroccan Agreement.
The official agreement between |
France and Germany for conference
on the status of Morocco was regarded
as a distinct triumph for Germany.

Calls Canal Humbug.
Former Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Yeomens has caused a lot OF
talk by his statement that no Panama
canal would ever be built and that ne
American engineer ever said the prob
ect was even feasible "Who was not
paid for his statement" He explained
this by charging that the railroads con-
trolled the situation and that the Mica
ragua project was killed because If
was feasible. He says no engineer has
ever found a rock or clay bank In the
Culebra cut, and he calls attention tS
the fact that every man selected to ds

Hooker Trial Begun.
Warren B. Hooker, the accused jus
tice Of the New York supreme court
was brought before the legislature on
July 10 and made the plea of not
guilty. His counsel announced that
witnesses would be called and that
Mr.. Hooker himself would take the
stand. A sensational incident occurred
when Editor Wardman of the New
York Press was summoned forthwith
because of an article charging that
powerful influences and Doodle were at
work to keep Hooker on the bench and
that a cloud of scandal was hanging
over the legislature. Wardman said hs
didn't know who wrote the article and
refused to find out.
Bell Blocks Prosecution.
John C. Bell, Philadeiphias district
attorney, refused Mayor Weaver's re-
quest that indictments be presented
against the chief criminals in the fltra-
ton contract conspiracy upon great
mass of evidence furnished. Later Mr..
Bell also refused to take action before
a magistrate, course which he had
previously advocated, and admitted
that he had been all along the attorney
to James P. McNichol and counsel for
the firm in which the McNichols and.
Israel W. Durham were interested
The city councils refused to authGnt1b
the mayor to employ additional coun-
sci, thus keeping the civil arm Of thgg
law In control Of the conspirators. 81
great wave Of public Indignation was
started by the district attorneys coarse
Of action and meetings were held To
demand his resignation. The arrest Of
Durham and McNichol was advised bN
the mayors counsel.
The canvasses Of policemen and tha
investigation of 100 cheap lodging
houses gave evidence Of more thar

LIEUTENANT SLATTERY WILL
NOTIFY OWNERS TO GET THEM

At the request of Lieutenant Slat-
terry the army engineering officer who
has charge of surveying the harbor for
the improvements by the United States
government, the various vessels which
have been moOred in Rotten Row, were
taken elsewhere by their owners. The
removal of the craft was only tenn
pOrary as they occupied considerable
space that had to be surveyed. Per-
mission has been granted to the own
ers to take their craft back to the Row
The hulks which are resting on the
bottom in Rotten Row will have to be
removed before the work of improving
the harbor is undertaken by the Unit
ed States government. Lieutenant Stat
terry says he will notify the owners to
remove them and i'll case of failure to
do so, the government will remove the
hulks and sell the material for what
ever price it viii bring to pay the eX-
penses of removal.
