HORSEW HIP
SETS FIRE
TO MASHER
Special Dispatch to Ths call.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Leroy Stevens,
"a years old, one of the vermin breed
styled ..mashers," was Numerically
horsewhipped on Saturday by DIR. Rob-
ert H. Harvey, practicing South Side
physician. Stevens for several days
past had been annoying women In the
neighborhood OF Twenty-first street
went to the rear of DR.. Harvey's resi-
the door. Just at this point DR.. Har-
vey, returning from q visit to a pa
tient, turned into the alley. He saw
the man, and turning his horse about,
stopped just out of view. Taking the
whip from his buggy he crawled along
the wall leading into his yard.
All unaware Of his danger Stevens
was talking to Mrs Harvey She saw
her husband approaching with the
whip, but engaged the prospective VIC
TINS attention. Suddenly Stevens felt
the lash across his neck. Again and
again he was struck. Suddenly smoke
began to curl around the body of Stew
ems and 1t was seen that his clothing
was afire. In applying the lash DR..
Harvey had ignited match in Stew
ems pocket and in a few minutes his
clothes were ablaze. Not until then
did Dr. Harvey desist in his applica-
ton of the whip.
Stevens was painfully but not seri-
ously burned, and to-day in the Har-
rison-street police station he was SEN
fenced to three months in the Bride

ton Is Exhausted.
MADYADAN1, Manchuria, Feb. 27.-
After fighting of the most desperate
nature, the Russians remained yester-
day evening in possession of Che and
Da passes, against which the Japanese
had been finging themselves madly
from noon until dark. The Russians,
who were greatly outnumbered, sus-
tained repeated attacks. some units
losing as high as 70 per cent in killed
or wounded in hand-to-hand fighting
with the bayonet, TO which they were
reduced through having fired their last
bullets. In order to hold Da Pass the
last reserves were sent to the firing
line. The Japanese turning operations
in the region Of the Gauto Pass were
checked by a battalion of Russian In
fantry and several squadrons OF cav
airy. which repulsed the enemy with
heavy loss. The Japanese also tried to
advance upon Nagou and Vanupudzi,
but were repulsed.
The present operations commenced
on February 10, when the japanese
made night attack upon Haba Pass,
seven miles south of Tsinkhetchen. On
February 20 they attacked Vanze Pass,
seven miles southeast of the Tsinkhet-
chen positions, which themselves are
Tar IN advance OF the general front Oh
the army. The Russians made a coun-
ter attack on February 81 and tempo
rarily gained ground, but on the even
ing OF February %, in the face of SUI
perior numbers, they were fianked and
retired on the fortified line at Tsink-
hetchen.
The Japanese stormed Beresneff Hill
throughout February 23, simultaneous
ly enfilading the Tsinkhetchen posi-
tions with artillery and cutfianking
the Russian infantry.

BIG SLUMP
IN PRICE Of
MAY v HEA1 7
Special Dispatch to TIL. Call.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-John w. Gates
and his associates, it is said. have
abandoned the deal In May wheat.
Millions Of bushels of the cereal were
thrown on the local market to-day. by
the clique houses, causing the prices to
fall with a crash.
The paper loss to the Wall street
crowd is estimated at $750,000, comput-
ing on the high figures Of fortnight
ago, but they still had a good margin
of profit over the average purchase
price. The slump caused a panic
among the smaller holders who had
been following the bull leader with the
innocent faith of the lamb being led to
the shearing pen.
The price of May wheat fell to 81 14111s.
Less than two weeks ago 1t sold at
81 211a. The closing price yesterday
was 81 1915. The trade was caught un-
aware by the severe break to-day and
wheat, bought by outsiders at fancy
prices, was sold at a tremendous loss.
Trading proceeded in the usual way
for about an hour, when without warn
ing the market suddenly started to
tumble.
Gates has thrown UP the sponge"
the brokers shouted as they saw prices
giving way, and some of the bears
gave vent to their enthusiasm by fran
tically waving their hats. The demon
stration, however. soon took a more
serious turn The commission houses
that were loaded with wheat on which
margins were fast disappearing, selling
on stop-Ioss orders, threw the market
into a fever of excitement which quick
ly spread to all parts of the floor and
then to the commission Offices through
out the downtown district.
1t is difficult to say how far reach
ing the panic might have become if
Armour had not come to the rescue of
the market. That interest bought
heavily around the low point. Other
big houses also came to the support of
the market. Short wheat was covered
in large quantities. These purchases
effected a partial restoration of conf
.dence and brought about rally which
landed the May price at 81 1914. After
this the market quieted somewhat.

CONTROL IN
NEW HANDS

NEW YORK, Feb. 27-The report
that e. II. Hartman had lost control
Of Union Pacific Railroad gained cur
rency in Wall street to-day, and, while
1t could not be confirmed, the belief
was expressed in conservative quarters
that 1t was not idle gossip. 1t has
been known for some time that H. H.
Rogers and William Rockefeller each
personally held as, large a block of
Union Pacific stock as any one individ-
ua1; it is believed that Hartman and
his friends retained a sufficient amount
to secure to them complete administra-
tive control Of the property. On one
hand 1t was said that James j. Hill
and his friends had secured the stock,
and on the other 1t was asserted that
d. G. Reid and Judge Moore Of the
Rock Island Company had it..
Enormous transactions marked the
trading on the Stock Exchange to-day,
the total reaching approximately 2,000,-
600 shares. OF this amount about 425,-
900 shares represented dealings in
Southern Pacific. The other Pacific
stocks were exceedingly active.
The plunging tactics of powerful
stock spectators apparently were con-
centrated on Southern Pacific, with the
result that the tape recorded long
"strings'' of quotations running into
10000 and Z0,OUU snare tOtdiS Without
interruption. At 10, blocks of thou
sands of shares, aggregating 1900,
were transferred before the price cross
ed that figure and advanced fraction
ally.
& During the closing days of last week
Union Pacific and New York Central
were the leaders in activity and
strength. Though there were large
dealings in those two stocks to-day, it
was apparent that speculative interest
had switched over Sunday and that the
operations of the big dealers were be-
ing directed to Southern Pacific.
Less was heard to-day Of alleged
deals between the Union Pacific and
Vanderbilt interests, concerning which
scores of plausible, and fantastic sto-
ries alike were circulated late last
week The subsistence of reports was
not due, however. to disbelief by the
trading element, but rather to q
change Of front in the field Of activity.
The cause of extraordinary liveliness in
Southern Pacific shares, which led the
market, was generally ascribed to the
belief that dividends on the stock will
be declared shortly.

Ex-CoNVICTs NOVEL
GIFT TO PRESIDENT
Revolver That Cannot Be Fired by
One Unfamiliar With Its
Mechanism.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27-President
Roosevelt has a new weapon for his
armory in the gift from Mart" Allen
Of q revolver so constructed that IL
can be Of service only to its owner.
Attempts to fire ii unless one is ia
niliar with its combinations are vain.
Allen invented this peculiar type Of
f1rearm while he was a convict in
Sing Sing Prison, after one of several
convictions for burglary. The idea was
suggested to him when two fellow
convicts escaped by obtaining posses
sion of the Warden's revolvers and
holding him at bay by threatening him
with instant death IL he interfered with
them. For such emergencies as this
he believed a revolver which would be
Of service only in the hands OF a man
who knew the combination by which
10 unlock ii would be of great value,
and at the suggestion of Superintend-
ent Collins he worked on his idea for
several years. Now that he is free

Santa Fe Will Ignore
the Orange Rate
Decision.
President Ripley DefieS the
Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Says It HsS Ceased to Be Judicial
Body and Its Rulings Garry
Little Weight
Special Dispatch to tn. Cali.


CHICAGO. Feb. 27.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission is defied by the
Santa Fe Railroad Company in a
statement made by President Ripley
to-day. Last Thursday the commits
sion rendered a supplemental decision
"a the case brought against the Santa
Fe by the orange growers Of Califor-
MIA. In this ruling the commission held
that the Santa Fe's rates on oranges
were unreasonable and unjust, and
that the Santa. Fe and the Southern
Pacific We're unlawfully engaged in a
pooling traffic in citrus fruits in
Southern California. In it's original
decision the commission had held that
the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific
were unlawfully preventing orange
shippers selecting the roads over which
their fruit should be shipped.
Chairman Knapp dissenUed from the
opinion Of all other members of the
commission, as he believes in pooling
and in the right Of railroads to con-
troll the routeing of traffic, regard ess
y the wishes of shippers.
Commenting upon the decision of
the commission against the Santa Fe,
President Ripley says:
The Interstate Commerce Commits
c-A-A -Aoe IcdSeQ 10 D6 JUDICIAL DOCN.
Il Is now simply attorney for the plain
ttffs and, consequently, its decisions
carry little weight, especially when
t1e chairman disSents. There is not
much use in attempting to criticize the
allegations of this majority decision.
They are all cne-sided and in the ma
ture Of a special plea
1t says that the orange shipments
have increased from nothing to 10000
cars a year; that the time is slower
Than formerly; that the cars carry
more lead but il somits to mention that
wages have advanced about 40 per
cent and material almost 100 per cent;
that car that used to cost $500 now
costs $1,000: that millions Of money
have been borrowed and spent in max
ing the railroads equal to the demands
on them and that millions more must
be borrowed and spent before that will
be accom- blished.
e'Of course, We shall ignore the de-
cision Of the commission and rely on
the courts for justice, because we de-
sire 10 be just.
There is no agricultural pursuit
which has been as profitable as
OF range-growing in California for the
last ten years and the efforts of the
railroads are largely the cause of this
prosperity. Because there have been
one or two less prosperous years it is
proposed to take money from us and
give it to the producer. II the rail-
road stockholders could be assured
one half the returns on their invest
ment that the orange growers have
had they would be delighted.
AS to the alleged pool the evidence
disclosed no such thing. Perhaps
there is some law that viii compel us
tc scramble for more business than
We think we ought fairly to do and to
provide cars which are in excess Of
cur needs in winter and stand idle all
summer, but / do not think So"

MUKDEN, Feb. 27.-The japanese
crossed the Shakhe River last even
ing, having driven in the pickets of
the Russian vanguard. Russian sup
ports came up and stopped the Jap
anese advance.
On the right flank all is quiet, but
movements of the Japanese indicate
an intention of attacking the Russian
center, at least in the way of a DEM
onstration. Heavy firing continued to-
day to the eastward.
The soldiers of the Tsinkhetchen di-
vision are in good spirits in spite of
the heavy losses they have sustained
and the necessity which compelled
them to retreat They are encouraged
by the execution they wrought upon
the japanese, whose bodies were piled
in heaps outside the redoubts at Beres-

cording to press dispatches from Muk-
den the Japanese last evening crossed
the Shakhe River, but the place of
crossing was eliminated by the censor.
The advance was checked by Russian
reinforcements This was the most
important news from the scene of war
tonight. Fighting is continuing on the
Russian left flank with the indications
that the Japanese are planning an at
tack against the center. but the Rus
slams claim their positions are impreg-
nable.
A dispatch from General Kuropatkin,
dated February 26, says:
'"The enemy is continuing the Of
fensive against the front of our
Tsinkhetchen detachment and has
turned both its flanks. The Japanese
also have advanced against Kantie
Pass, turning our left flank, but all
attacks on Tangu and Beydaling have
been repulsed. The offensive move
ment against Bomapudz also has been
repulsed. At some positions our rifle
men forced the Japanese outposts to
retire Colonel Gorsky was severely
wounded
General Kuropatkin, in another dis
patch dated February 26, announced
that the japanese had commenced

handled. Every dollars worth Of busi-
ness that the company could place it
has always placed in Minneapolis. It
must make a change now, not because
1t loves Minneapolis less or st. Paul
more, but because it has got very tired
of conveying all it's rolling stock
from the st. Paul system to the
confines Of Minneapolis whenever
it had to go into shop. The
cost Of this and the inconvenience
are both excessive Therefore, it has
decided that the new shops must be
located in the Midway district, and
there they will go, agreement or no
agreement, tax or no tax on gross
earnings. 1t is supremely silly to hold
before our eyes any threat, but espe-
cially one so empty and yapid as this.
There is no doubt about the actual
feeling of the st. Paul public. 1t is
not inclined to surrender some mil
lions Of dollars that will almost GER
tainly come into it's treasury during the
life Of this franchise without a single
equivalent. That opinion has found
expression at various times through
local improvement associations. It is
held by everybody except a few per-
sons who are directly interested in the
construction of some bit of track some
where in a suburban district, and are
willing to trade a small personal bene-
fit for the continuing disadvantage of
the whole city. These people are few. The
great body Of the community, ninety
nine out of every hundred We know if
a vote could be taken, stand straight
and unmoved behind Mr.. Michael in
the proceedings that he has inaug-
urated. Let them see to it that their
voice is heard at the meeting that has
been arranged for. Let them take care
that ENJOYS of the street railway COM
pany do not take the floor and mis-
represent our people. Let the good
work go on.

sired to approach him be justified in
believing him absolutely purchasable?
Has hot a man SO wholly without sense
Of honor as utterly disgraced himself
and untitled himself for any position
of trust as if he had openly sold his
vote to the highest bidder?
What shall we think Of community
in which these things are possible
without a public uprising? What are
we to say Of electors who will go to the
polls and cast their ballots for men
against whom such things have been
established, and for men who, like Gov.
Higgins, find something perhaps re-
grettable but nothing seriously wrong
in the transaction? Probity in public
life admits the application of but one
rule. A man in such station, like Cae-
sar's wife, must be above suspicion.
Upon that the people themselves must
insist. Conditions like those revealed
at Albany require an utter overturning
and a general banishment of the Of
monwealth, and with it after a time
the country, through blunted moral
sense, is to descend to the level of
China or of Turkey.
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-15

doubtless it's much more simple than
II sounds. The eyewitness neglected
to say what became of the loafer, but
after a locomotive has passed over a
man, one does not find it necessary to
state that he was killed. 1t seems
extremely probable that the man in
this case will behave himself when he
recovers. And certainly the incident
proves that more and more women
are studying the gentle art Of self
defense. OF course, there is something
repellant in the thought of one Of the
gentler sex engaging in fstic COM
bat, but the jiu jitsu is scientific and
sure, and the claim is made for it that
it is also graceful. Surely there is
nothing objectionable. therefore, in the
modern woman acquiring the method
and dealing with oglers as they de-
serve. Old fashioned people regret
the passing of the '.clinging vine" type
of woman, but the clinging vine would
be out of place in the hurly y-burly of
modern life. The strenuous times de-
mand more strenuous type.
