Wealth From American Farms.

The farmers of America produce
more wealth than do any other people
on earth. Last year they cleaned up
nearly S., 1000, 600, 900 on their crops.
Out of the proceeds of the corn crop
last year the farmers could have paid
the national debt and still have had
enough money to vi the government
for six or eight months. All that the
gold mines of the entire world have
produced since Columbus discovered
America do not equal the value of the
food supplies raised on American
farms during the last two years, while
last years product is over six times
the amount of the capital stock of all
national banks: comes within $780,.

Will Call Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.-Presideut
Roosevelt, who for some weeks has
been hopeful that some desirable uc.
ton might be taken at the present ses-
sion OF congress on the railroad rate
question, practically has r%eliuquished
the idea of securing legislation on the
subject this winter. 1t is reasonably
certain that he will not call an extra
ordinary session of congress to meet
IN the spring. but unless he changes
his mind he will call congress together

A California Bribery Scadal.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb 2O.-The
special committee appointed to in
We stigate bribery charges against
Senators Emmons, Bunkers, Wright
and French recommended that they be
expelled from the senate.
The expelled senator's were accused
of demanding and accepting a bride
for protecting certain building and
loan associations from investigation
by the Legislative committee on re.
t%renchment and reform, of which they
were members. A trap was set for
them and marked bills were given to
Il gO-between, who was seer to pass
the money to them. Each senator re.
ceived $3.50. They have been indicted

RATE LEGISLATION DELAYED.
Senate Committee Will Hear Objections
Against Railroad Regulation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-The sen ate
committee on interstate commerce con.
sidered for more than an hour the
question of reporting a bill for the
regulation of railroad rates, or a
resolution asking that the committee
be authorized to sit during the recess
to perfect some measure that will meet
the objections urged against the Esch.
Townsend bill, which was passed by
the house. The sentiments expressed
by members of the committee were so
varied that agreement was impossible,
and amid confusion the committee was
adjourned by Chairman Elkins. with
the announcement that q meeting will
be held Thursday to hear Stuy vesant
Fish, president of the Illinois Central
railway. and others who have been in
vited by the committee.
The controversy over the program
to be adopted was precipitated when
the committee was called to order.
Senator Dolliver moved that the CON-
mittee take up the Esch-Townsend bill
and other measures before the CON-.
mittee, and continue meeting every
day uutil some bill can be reported to
the present session of congress. OPP
ponents of the bill! demonstrated.
Chairman Elkins declared that the
number OF protests that had been
made against the bill passed by the
house, and the number of demands for
hearings made by the interests affected
by the proposed legislation, made it
necessary that exhaustive hearings be
cid.
Senator Cul!om called attention to
the presidents message on rate legis-
lation, and argued that it was due him
that some action be taken at the pres.
ent session.
In response to theGdemands for i'm.
mediate action on the house bill, Sen.
ator Kean said that nearly every law
yer that had examined it had poked
their fingers through it, and declared
many of its provisions unconstitution-
al, and that it does not reach the evils
complained of by shippers, but that it
did jeopardize the security of rail-
roads.

TuE SpOIL.S

The action of majority members of
the Legislative assembly in naming the
first members Of q proposed board Of
railroad commissioners, is viewed
with indignation and alarm by demo-
cratic newspapers and other partisan
critics. They allege that the preroga-
tive of the governor is being usurped
by these members of the legislature
that any offices created at the present
session should be filled by appointees
named by Governor Toole.
One of the critics, in denouncing the
republican caucus nominations for
railroad commissioners, declares the
caucus proceedings to be q direct slap
at Governor Toole. Nothing is said
as to the qualitlcations of the nominees:
it is not charged hal they are unfit
for the duties they may be required to
perform, but their nomination is dis.
tasteful aud is alleged to be deserving
of censure because it was made by a
republican majority of the legislative
assembly and not by a democratic
governor.
This controversy directs attention to
the spoils system under which APP
pointive Offices are frequently filled by
men who are thus rewarded for al.
legged political services to the party in
power, and occasionally without re.
gard to their qualific atoms as public
employees. A large number OF APP
pointmepts to state offices have been

miles southwest of Birmingham, at 4
O'Clock this afternoon. between ITO
and 135 union miners are entombed,
and it is believed the entire number
suffered an awful death. Scores of
vigorous rescuers are at work digging
into the mine to relieve their friends

The explosion Is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation of

been noted for being entirely free from

MAY INDICT
Federal Grand Jury Will Conside,
Charges Against Beef Trust.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2l.-The first step
leading to the possible indictment of
the alleged ''beef trust" va taken
here today. A special grand jury
venire was ordered drawn and deputy
United States marshals were sent out
with subpoenas for various members
of the alleged trust.
Indictments will be sought on char
ges OF direct violation of an injunc.
ton issued some time ago by Judge
Grosscup of the United States circuit
court, restraining members of the al.
legged trust from illegally combining
in restraint of interstate commerce.
The decision of Judge Grosscup was
recently sustained by the supreme
court of the United States.
Much secrecy was maintained con.
corning the affair and the deputies
were dispatched under orders to serve
the s%ubpoenas immediately and to
make public no facts concerning the
aft air.

CATION has been carried on secretly
in Chicago Orders came from Attor-
ney General Moody to Uuited States
District Attorney Bethea to take up
work on the case. Attorney Bethea
was twice ordered to Washington to
receive instructions in the matter, and
he was accompanied by United States
Marshal Ames. Bethea was ordered
to place competent men on the investi-
CATION and to spare. no expense to se-
cure evidence against %viOlatOrs of the
injunction of Judge Grosscup.
In lS5 all subpoeuas were issued.
They are for subordinates. clerks and
other employees of the packers. None OF
the packers were summoned. The EN-.
ployes are expected to corroborate by
their testimony evidence secured by
government secret agents. The mel
subpoenaed live in II different cities.
Until service is secured, it is probable
their names will not be made public.
The principal cities where papers
are to be served besides Chicago are:
