General Garrett wore a uni
form coat, almostnew, with a gen-

lar, and top boots, with trousers
inside, and spurs. It is therefore,
ineXplicable that his remains were
not identified.
Il knew General Garrett per-
sonally and served as his orderly
for 10 days a month or more before
he was killed. He was a perfect
type Of gentleman and soldier,
with lovable characteristics. His
manner was charming with almost
the gentleness of a woman. As a
soldier he was able, skillful and
eXaCting; i'll battle a warrior and

New York, Jan. 17.-Following the
surrender to District Attorney Jerome
yesterday Of the gambling outfit be-
longing to Frank Farrell, Dave John.
son and Frank McDougall, it was ad-
mitted by counsel tor the gamblers
that Jerome had closed every gambling

The instrument which has made
such efectual action possible was said
by Lawyer Daniel O'Reilly, represent

ONE when he was trying to induce
Jesse Lewiston to testify against Rich

releases from punishment any gambler
who gives evidence himself to the dis

such evidence.
Lawyer O'Reilly said: "There will
be no gambling houses in this city.
The Bowling act has given the district

shown by the surrender of all gam

ANTl.CiGAReTTe LAW GOOD.
Iowa Statute Upheld by Federal Su.
preme Court.

"a SOobss
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Iowa
anti-cigarette law has been upheld by
the United States supreme court in
two cases affirming decisions Of the
Iowa supreme court. The cigarettes
were shipped into the state in small
pasteboard boxes, and the contention
was made that in taxing them the state
authorities were interfering with in
terstate commerce. The court refused,
however, to hold that the small boxes
were Original packages.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
Brown, who, in the course of it, said:
while this court has been alert to
protect the rights Of nonresident citi-
zens and had felt its duty, not always
with the appreciation of the state
courts, to declare the invalidity of
laws throwing obstacles in the way of
free intercourse and communication be-
tween the states, it will not lend it's
sanction to those who deliberately set
out to debauch the conscience and to
trample upon the laws Of state.
"The power of congress to regulate
commerce is undoubtedly benefioent
one. The police laws of the state are
equally go, and it is our duty to har-
monize them. Undoubtedly q law
may be sometimes successfully and
legally avoided if not evaded, but it
behooves one who stakes bis case upon
the letter of the constitution not to be
wholly oblivious of its spirit. In this
case we cannot hold that plaintiffs are
entitled to any immunities without
striking serious blow at the rights of
the states to administer their own in
terual affairs.'

OPPOSED TO REDUCTION.
Gen. Greeley Thinks Alaska Cabl'
Rates Should Stand.

k0bSS SjaOutU SIouUs
Washington, Jan. 16.-The plan to
bring about radical reduction in Ca
BILE and telegraph tolls will fail unless
the president decides to take the mat
ter entirely out of the hands of the
war department.. Gen. Greeley, chief
of the army signal corps, is largely
responsih le for the early completion Of
the cable after it was authorized by
congress upon his repeated recommend
atoms. He wishes, it is said. to make
the rates for commercial messages as
low as is consistent with fair return
in money for the service rendered to
the public. Gen. Greedy declares,
however, that the cable rates ought
not to be lowered at all, and that the
reductions should apply only to linn
tied extent to the land lines.
The question of lowering the rates
was suggested by Judge William A..
Day, who Investigated federal affairs
in Alaska last summer, and his action
was followed up by warm indorse-
ment by Capt. Jarvis, collector of GUS
toms for the territory, whose opinion
was asked by the president. The Sec
rotary Of war was directed by the PRES
ident to propose new scale of rates
for commercial messages, and the mat
ter was turned over to Gen. Greeley.
Gen. Greely's report on the matter
recommends reduction of about ten
per cent on the Alaska land lines. but
no reduction at all on the ocean Ca
bles.
Both Secretary Taft and Gen. Gree
~ believe that the rates should be
kept up in order that the government
may get as large aSmoney return for
the service as may be. On the other
hand, it is argued by those interested
in the proposed reduction, that q
slight lowering Of the rates would not
help very much, while it would reduce
the revenues Of the government in
about the same proportion as the re-
duction in rates. They declare that
a cut of SO per cent in the rates would
not only help the Alaska people enor-
mously, but that it would double the
volume of business. This would mean
Of course, that the revenues derived
from commercial messages would be
the same as they are at present.
The president is sincerely interested
in the matter, and the question will
not be decided until he has heard both
sides Of the case thoroughly. It is not
to be expected, however, that the war
department viii recede from its posi-
ton.

RUSSIANS THANKFUL
CASSINI EXPRESSES GRATIfICA.
ton FOR NOTE TO China.
Believed, However, That China viii
make Sweeping Denial Of the
Charges Of Breach Of Neutral
ity-JapaneSe Government NAY
Make Some Sharp Comment.

Washington, Jan. 18.-Rus6ia has,
through Count Cassini, expressed her
thanks to the American government
for its prompt action in calling China
attention to the charges that her neu-
trality was being violated.
The Russian ambassador during the
day received a note from Secretary
Hay acknowledging the communica-
ton Of Count Lamsdorf, and inform
ing the Russian am Dassador that the
American government had promptly
called China's attention to the charges
and expressed the .fervent hope that
China's neutrality, as we'll as her ad-
ministrative entity, would be faith
fully preserved. The secretary further
said that the Chinese minister had as
sured him that his government was
equally DESTROYS of remaining neutral
and was doing her utmost to prevent
violations of her neutrality by either
belligerent.
Secretary Hay had another confer
ence with the Chinese minister during
the day, the latter calling at the state
department soon after Count Cassini' 9
departure. The minister reported that
he had received cablegram from his
government asking for the charges in
detail.
The note of Secretary Hay relative
to the Russian charge Of violation by
China of the laws Of neutrality will
contain nothing in any degree menac-
ing or calculated in any way to touc b
the pride of the Chinese. 1t is further
believed that the Chinese government
has practically prepared its defense.
This will amount to sweeping denial
of the Russian charges.
Touching the charge that many Chi
nese are serving in the japanese army
for pay, it is believed that the Chinese
will point out the failure Of the Rus
slams to find Chinese among the Japan
ese killed in battle, and will raise the
point that even If such Chinese did
serve as Japanese soldiers, such fact
does not of itself constitute violation
of International law respecting neu-
trality.
The charge in the Russian complaint
relating to the employment of Japanese
officers to drill Chinese troops in mod
ern warfare tactics will, it is believed,
also be declared to be within the rights
of any power and not violation Of
the rules of neutrality.
The Japanese government has been
informed Of the Russian complaint,
and it is stated here that it is prepar.
ing complete and categorical denial
of the Russian charges. 1t is under
stood the note will make sharp COM
ment upon alleged violations Of neu.
trality of some of the powers in favor
of Russia, notably in connection with
the extension to Russian vessels Of
rights of asylum in neutral ports to a
degree never contemplated by the old
or authorities on international law.
