railroads may appeal If dissatisfied
with the commissions findings, but
provides that the commissions rulings
shall go into effect Immediately; stipu-
lates that there must be more publicity

ing and terminal charges under the
control Of the interstate commerce
commission. Other bills have been in
troduced in the house, among the rest
that of Congressman Hearst, which is
even more radical. But 1t ia fairly GER
tain that the EschT Townsend measure
Is the one that will be pressed through.
In the senate the most conspicuous
bills are that prepared by the interstate
commerce commissioning by Senator
Foraker anG one introduced or to be
introduced by Senator Elkins. The
bill by the interstate commerce COM
mission is the most radical of any. 1t
contains all the provisions Of the Esch-
Townsend bill and in addition empow-
ers the commission to fix minimum as
well as maximum rates, to initiate
cases without complaints being made
and to hunt up evidence for itself. The
Foraker bill provides that the matter
of fixing rates shall be left to the Unit
ed States courts. The Elkins bill is to
be in the nature of compromise, CIV
ing the commission power to make find
ings, but leaving the real rate making
power in the hands Of the courts, and
providing further that branch lines, or
feeders" are to be allowed more than
their pro rata share of receipts on
freighs that are carried both by them
and tho trunk lines.

A Foxy General.
The ostensible head Of the senate gar

At different times he has hailed from
Missouri, New Mexico and West vir-
ginia. In former days he was a lieuten-
ant of the celebrated armed warrior"
and "plumed knight" James G. Blaine.
Elkins is reputed to know most every
thing about railroads, for he owns
some of his own. BE is at the head Of
the important interstate commerce COM

that majority of this body will follow
him. He is one Of those reported to be
conniving at turning over the fortress
to the railroad forces, but he is foxy
general and does not give himself
away. Every few days there come ru-

tons that he may be successful.

Then he gave 81 steady pull to the

from the vicinity of the old quarry.
He saw the fash among the trees
Almost simultaneously bright light
leaped from the opposite ledge, illum-
mating the vicinity like a meteor. 1t
lit up the rock, showed Iris just van
ishing into the safety Of the ledge and
revealed jerks and the Dyaks to each
other. There followed instantly ire
mendous explosion that shook earth
and air, dislodging every loose stone
in the southwest pile of rocks, hurting
from the plateau some Of its occu-
pants and wounding the remainder
with shower Of lead and debris. The
sailor, unmolested further, reached the
ledge.
In tall tree near the valley Of
death he had tightly fixed loaded

the rock overhanging the ledge held by
the Dyaks. This stone rested against
a number Of PERCUSSION caps extracted
from cartridges, and these were in d.
rect communication with a train of
powder leading to a blasting charge
placed at the end of twenty-four inch
hole drilled with crowbar. The i'm
pact of the bullet against the stone
could not fail to, explode some Of the
caps. He had used the contents Of 300
cartridges to secure sufiiciency of
powder, and the bullets were crammed
into the orifce, being tamped with clay
and wet sand The rifle was fired by
means Of the string, the loose coils of
which were secreted at the foot Of the
pooh. By springing this novel mine he
had effectually removed every Dyak

would spread like fan. Further, 1t

no religion. have and to spare. Come
and be a Christian, and, 10, you will
be great in the land. Pray, and the

AMONG THE EXCHANGES

Died From Dope or Heart Failure.
John BOnchke, said to have served
as a member of President ROOSEVELT g
regiment of Rough Riders In Cuba
during the Spanish war, died at st.
Alphonsus hospital about 6 O'Clock
yesterday morning, apparently from
morphine poisoning. He was penni-
less at the time he was removed to
the hospital, although he had been
possessed Of a considerable sum OF
money during the week, and the sup
position Is that he had been "doped"
and robbed, dying from the effects of
the drug. He had lain in a stupor for
practically 16 hours before death
came.
There are several theories enter
tanned to account for Bonchke's death.
One Is that he was "doped" with NOR
phine and robbed. Another Is that he
had been drinking heavily and that
some friend. in mistaken benevolence,
had given him morphine to brace him
up while he was getting sober. It is
also possible that he died from some
ailment of the heart. although that
organ seemed to be doing its full duty
when he was taken TO the hospital.
The morphine may have been taken
voluntarily frow habit or with suici-
dal intent.
