VIII Attack Paper Trust.

Attorney General Moody has given
out the following statement regarding
the suit instituted at st. Paul Decem-
ber 9th by the federal government
against the paper manufacturing COM
panies: f"
"On the complaint of many newspa-
per publishers, last spring, that COM
binatiOn In the restraint OF commerce
existed among manufacturers OF paper
to control the distribution and sale Of
their products among the states of the
Union, the department Of justice be-
gan an investigation Of that subject
and to further the department in that
respect the attorney general appointed
F. B. Kellogg Of the st. Paul bar and
]. NJ. Beck of the New York bar as
special attorneys to collect the evil
dence and make a report thereon.
"These gentlemen, after an exhaus-
tive examination of the matter, stimuli
taneously with that conducted by the
department of justice, have reported
to the attorney general that in their
opinion the facts ascertained support
the complaint and justify. in the public
interests, the filing of petition to en-
Join the operations of the General Pa
per Company, corporation of Wiscon-
sin, which is the instrumentality
through which the alleged combination
to control the prices and distribution
of those products in the western
states Is conducted. In this opinion
the department of justice concurs.
"The attorney general to-day direct
ed that petition be filed against the
General Paper Company and the twen-
ty-four paper manufacturing companies
located In the states of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, which it rep
resents, to have such combination de-
clared to be an unlawful restraint upon
interstate commerce and a monopoly.
"The petition will De filed In the
United States Circuit Court for the
district of Minnesota as soon as the
necessary papers can be prepared"

Russian Torpedo Boats Escape.

Russian Torpedo Boats Escape.
Che Foo, Jan. 3.-9 a. m.-This
morning four Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers from Port Arthur arrived
here. There are seven Japanese tor.
pedo boat destroyers in the harbor.
The Russian torpedo boats. Skory,
Stratni, Viasthini and Serdity, have
been disarmed and the Japanese de-
stroyers which followed them in have
left the harbor.
1t is reported that there are $4,000
sick and wounded at Port Arthur, and
that 5000 able-bodied convalescents
man the forts.
Besides the vessels mentioned, the
torpedo boat destroyers Smirli and
Boiki and a transport left Port Arthur
last night, the latter carrying 800
wounded soldiers, and, according to a
dispatch from Tsingtau, succeeded in
reaching that German port.
The departure of the ships was de-
cided upon at the council of war at
which 1t was determined to negotiate
for surrender of the fortress. Rear
Admiral Wren asked General Stoes-
pCi " save lllc ueSlTOyeTS,
ETC., which was readily granted. The
destroyers, the transport and the
launch crept out of the harbor without
encountering the Japanese. 1t was de-
termined to disarm the four destroy
ers, which lashed themselves together
In the absence of Chinese warship
the commissioner of customs here took
charge of the Russian craft. The lat
ter ordered the crews of the torpedo
boat destroyers and number of in
valid Russian sailors who were on
beard of them to go to the Chinese
fort, where quarters for theln are avail
able. Tonight the customs men and
details from the guardship are pre-
venting foreigners from going on
board the Russian vessels.
The officers of the Russian torpedo
boat destroyers there report that the
entire town of Port Arthur has been
destroyed, including the hospital.

once Of vice President.

When Senator Fairbanks il sworn
into once as vice president it will
have been more than three years since
the Senate was presided over by vice
president. In the last forty years the
mortality among vice presidents has
been remarkable. For more than six
teen years during that period the pre-
siding officer Of the Senate has been q
president pro tempore-a senator
elected for the position from the body
of senators.
Vice President Andrew johnson be-
came President but little more than q
month after Lincoln's second Inaugural
ton in 1865, and during the interim be-
tween his leaving the Senate chair and
the qualification Of Vice President Col
fax in 1869, the presidents pro tempore
Of the Senate were Lafayette 3. Foster
Of Connecticut and Benjamin F. Wade
OF Ohio.
Vice President Wilson. who had
been elected with Grant In 1872, died
in once In 1875, and until Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler took up the duties OF
presiding oficer in 1877 the place was
filled by Thomas w. Ferry, senator
from Michigan.
The vacancy caused by the elevation
Of Arthur to the presidency on the
death Of Garfield In 1881 was filled by
David Davis Of Illinois and George F..
Edmunds of Vermont. The latter was
followed by Vice President Hendricks.
who had been elected with Cleveland
in 1884. and was sworn into ONCE In
1885. But he died before the year was
out, and until Vice President Morton
qualified in 1889, the presidents pro
tempore were John Sherman and John
J. ingalls,, the Republicans being in
the majority in the Senate, and there
fore electing a senator OF that party
as presiding officer.
Vice President Hobart presided over
the Senate until 1899, and upon his
death In that year Senator Frye OF
Maine was elected president pro tenn
pore. He retired in 1901, when Vice
President Roosevelt took up the gavel.
but was reelected when the death OF
President Mckinley transferred Mr..
Roosevelt from the Senate to the

urged the employment Of Porto Ricans
as far as possible in the construction
of the Panama canal. The matter was
discussed at some length and Mr.. Com
pers will confer with Governor Win

next week.
Secretary Taft, who is engrossed
with matters pertaining to the Philip
pines, had a conference With the Pres
ident regarding questions relating to
the archipelago. The secretary desires
that the proposed reduction in the tar
iff on Philippine sugar and tobacco
should be provided for at this session
of Congress, and he is urging his views
strongly with all members of Congress
to whom he has opportunity to talk.
He hopes to obtain rate on sugar and
tobacco imported from the Philippines
of twenty-five per cent. of the regular
Dingley rate. He intimated to-day that
negotiations had been initiated looking
to a possible compromise on Philip
pine tariff rate. but 1t was too early
to predict what the result of the nego-
tiations might be.
Congress may economlze on sala-
ries, as the disposition now seems to
be, but there is one item in that line
where an increase can not be avoided.
The Senate now has one man doing

the House is considering, carries an
item Of $1,000 for the new vice pres

March 4th next. So it is that Senator
Frye will lose $4,000 annually an the
government will be at an extra annual
expense Of $4,000.

The Wasp as a Hunter.
From Harper's Magazine.


When summer warmth has awakened the
maternal instincts of the insect world the
mud-dauber wasp may be seen gathering
mortar at the margin of stream, pool or
puddle. Filling her mandibles, which serve
as both spade and bod. she bears the load
of mud to some rough surface. rock or
wall. or board or beam. She spreads and
shapes her mortal until. after many visits
to the mud-bed, she has built tubular
cell about an inch long and three-ei gl1ths
of an inch wide.
Then her huntress instinct awakens and
her raids upon the spider realm begin, for
within this cylinder the mother mason
will put single egg. In course of time
this will hatch into a ravenous larva,
whose natural food is living spiders; and
these the mother proceeds to capture and
entomb within her mud-daub nursery. On
this errand she may be seen hawking over
and near cobwebs of various sorts, ven
turing within the meshed and beaded
Snares that prove fatal to most incomers
and sometimes even to herself. If the oc-
cUpant eXpectant OF prey, sallies forth to
seize the intruder, it finds itself captive,
not a captor- The wasp shakes the silken
flament from wings and feet, turns upon
the spider, seiZes and stings 1t, bears it
to her cell and thrusts 1t therein
