BIG FIGHT IS WON
 AGAINST PAYMENT
EXPENDITURE FOR RENTAL OF OLD NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE IS DENOUNCED AS A PUBLIC SCANDAL.

Washington, February 24-In the House of Representatives today the fight of many years waged against the appropria- tion of s13O. 600 for rental of the old New York custom house, resulted Tn a victory. MT. Hemenway of Indiana, chairman of the committee on appropriations, being unable to muster suIncient strength to retain the provision of the bill. The op- position was led by Mir. Sulzer of New York, supported by Mr. Williams of Mis- sissippi the minority leader, both of whom denounced the expenditure as a public scandal, and in the interest of the Standard oil company, which is was all legged was behind the National City bank. the purchaser of the building from the government.
 Although the bank was alleged to have bought the property for $3,000,000 and to have credited the amount the govern ment, it developed that n title had passed to it, and that in consequence 1t was paying no taxes to the state of New York. The failure of the government to give deed, was ascribed to be due to the influence of the Standard Oil company. The action in striking out the provision was on strictly party vote.
 Mr. Sulzer of New York said the renting of the custom house was notorious scandal, a steal, and a fraud" and he could not understand why the City Ma tional bank had not been compelled to pay to the government the $3,O00.0 pur- chase money for the building. instead of the money being simply transferred on the banks books, except that it was due to the influence behind the bank. Every man in this chamber knows what that in- fiuence is," he sai,.. "It is the influence of the great Standard oil trust that. owns the bank, and the in-iuence that the bank has had in governmental affairs of this coutnry."
 Explaining that he was not defending the contract which was made by MT. Gage, who was then Secretary of the Treasury, MT. Hemenway contended that if the amount for rent was not appro- priated, the bank could not go into court and get judgment.
 MT Hemenway admitted in reply to MT. Williams that ho deed had passed from the government to the bank and that

Negro With Bloody Clothing is

MUCH TALK OF LYNCHING
Governor Vardaman Addresses Mass Meeting and Organizes Regiment to Help Find the Guilty
 Man.

Jackson, Miss, February 4.-Develop- ments in the assault case wherein Miss Mamie Martz, a worthy white woman Of this city, was criminally assaulted by negro, came thick and fast late in the day.
 The police arrested q negro named Stewart Johnson under very suspicious circumstances. His clothes were bloody and he bore other evidences of having been Tn a struggle. His mother and sister told conflicting stories in regard to the whereabouts of the negro at the hour Of assault. His shoes were fitted in the tracks where the assault was committed and they fitted exactly. Later in the even- ins the police discovered a young negro named Jack Turnbull. about IA years of age. who says that he was on the other side of the street when the assault was committed la-t night. He was taken to the jail an0 identified the negro Johnson as the one who committed the assault. Tonight crowds began to gather in the uptown business district, and on each corner there were a number of grim and determined men, who openly indulged in talk of lynching.
 At mass meeting of the citizens of the city Governor Vardaman announced the appointment of Col R. J. Harding, former sheriff of the county as the colonel of regiment to be formed. A captain was named for each ward in the city they in turn selecting the members of their com pany Governor Vardaman addressed the meeting and called on all the people of the city. both black and white to help hunt out the assaulter.

the bank was not paying taxes for the building. Mir Eemenway insisted that former Secretary Gage was not being charged with having committed crime. but with having made a bad contract.
 He has committed no crime.' inter- jected MT. Sulzer. "Why, as soon as we got an honest President he had to get out of the cabinet"
 A plain statement of the facts in the case was demanded by MT. Williams, who disclaimed being in the habit of lightly charging political opponents with moral or financial wrongs. If he said, he had wanted to do that. he could have been a "sewer' for all sorts of charges and scandals. He did not criticize the original transaction, but he asserted it was the subsequent dealings that were surrounded with fraud. in order to obtain campaign contributions.
 MT. Hemenway insisted that as Con gress he Authorized the contract for the sale of tia building to the bank. it was the duty of the government to comply with it's term. The original act provided for the sale he credited to a democratic Congress.
 In the course of general debate on the bill, Messrs Crumpacker of Indiana. Wal lace of Arkansas. and Byrd of Mississippi. discussed the race question in the south, the latter also dealing with present cot ton conditions.

M0ujlks Think Emperor is to
 Distribute Lands
CLAIM THE WAR IS OVER
Refuse to Bc Enlisted Because the Report Has Spread That HostiI- ties Have Ended In the
 Far East.

St. Petersburg, February 25.-2:15 a. m.- The beginning of very dangerous move has been observed among the peasantry of some of the southern prov inces, where revolutionary agitators are circulating reports that the Emperor will on March issue a manifesto provid- ing for a general division of lands. A new allotment has been the dream of the moujiks ever since emancipation; and. according to private reports, the stories spread like wildfire and are im- pllcitly believed. In the government of Tula a large proprietor went to his estate last week and found the peasants at work, measuring off and stalking their shares In response to his demands for an explanation they told him of the com- ing manifesto Refusing to listen to his declaration that the report was absurd, they would say: We have heard the Little Father has decided"
 When the proprietor asked what would become of him, they replied; "Oh, we will leave you the buildings and forty acres"
 Once the peasantry becomes possessed of the idea that the Emperor has willed a division of land, it will be exceedingly difficult to disabuse their minds, and agrarian troubles on large scale are feared. The moujiks are likely to turn upon the propretors, as they did several years ago in the provinces of Saratoff and Poltava, when almost complete an- archy reigned for some time.
 Spread Story That War Is Over.
 Among the reservists, agitators are spreading the story that the war is over. A case Is cited which occurred a fort night ago at Riazan, where two hundred reservists who had been called in, flatly told the officer they did not intend to serve. "The war is over" said the leader, i've know you simply want to make money out of contract for feeding us. We will not serve" and off they march, ed. An instance is also given of reserv- ists who actually left a railway train after they had been started for the front.
 Private reports also leave no room for doubt tha the st5ikes in the whole re- zion below MoscsW, are almost entirely political in character. The situation gen. orally in the sou.-- of Russia is becom- ing worse instead of be,.cr and contain many factors which are causing the au- thorities the greatest alarm. The possi- bility of the necessity for the dispatch of additional troops to the Caucasus Is already being considered.
 Another fact which is causing grave concern is the actual difficulty of trans porting enough commissary supplies for feeding the army at the front. These constantly increasing difficulties are strengthening the peace party.
