Wants Land Sold.

Washington, Feb. 12.- Senator Full
ton is preparing TO vigorously oppose
the bill soon to be reported by the pub
lie lands committee providing for the
repeal of the timber and stone ac', un-
less he can secure an amendment stip-
u'ating that 25 per cent of the money
derived from the sale of public timber
shall be turned over to the county in
which the timber is situated. The bill
in contemplation absolutely repeals the
present law and proposes that the gov
ernment shall retain title to all timber
land, selling only mature timber at
public auction or otherwise at not lees
than the appraised value.
This in effect places ali public timber
land in permanent reservations. Under
this proposed law, public timber land
will never become subject to taxation,
and in consequence the counties in
which this land is located will be for
ever deprived of the benefit of the
taxes which would eventually accrue,
were this land taken up under the tn
Der an stone act.

ONE ON COLONEL BRAGG.
Judge Robinson Uses the RetOrc
Courteous in Making up
Quarrel.

Some years ago in Alabama one OF
the most talented lawyers practicing
in the South was the late Colonel
Bragg, but he had peppery temper.
Not only did Colonel Bragg's dispo-
sition involve him from time to time
in serious differences with his col
leagues but 1t also led him to break
off amicable relations with Judge
Robinson. a most estimable jurst,
who, while presiding over a suit in
which Bragg was interested, had by
his decision incurred the resentment
Of the advocate. So for long time
the colonel declined even to speak to
the Judge, save when ii was absolutely
necessary in the course of business.
Finally, however. his better nature
getting the upper hand, Colonel Bragg
determined to apologize to Judge Rob
inson and endeavor to effect a renewal
of their former comparatively Pleasant
relations. Meeting the judge one after
noon on the steps of the State house.
he impusively thrust out his hand
and said:
See here, judge. let's be friends
again. This thing has gone on long

LET CONTRACT.
SAYS WALLACE
His Plan to Save Needless Red TaDe
in Canal Work.
Panama Railroad a Test of Govern
ment Ownership-Gives Cromwell
Shot - Counts Him Among the
Bosses Over Work-Says Stevens
Earns His Salary.

Washington, Feb. 8.-John F. Wal
lace, ex-chief engineer of the Isthmjan
Canal commission, today concluded his
testimony before the senate c.nal COM
mittee, except in relation to the type OF
canal, which will be taken up after tie
reports of the board of consulting en-
gineers have been made public. He
said the red tape necessary ito the eys-
TEN involved in governmental work
compelled him to favor the contract
plan of building te canal in order to ex-
pedite its completion. He thought the
man in charge OF the work on the 18TH
mus should be the undisputed head,
with the governor of the zone second
and the man who has charge of the
procuring of supplies and men third in
authority.
The present arrangements, he said,
amounted to chain of masters with
the chairman of the commission an ex-
ecutive commissioner, Mr.. Cromwell,
Secretary Taft and the president, grad.
ing down to Mr.. Stevens, or the man in
actual charge of operations on the 18TH
mus. He said Mr.. Cromwell had been
included as one of the masters, for the
reason that he seemed to have certain
undisputed influence which entitled
him to be classed in the chain.
Headquarters of the commission
should be on the isthmus, Mr.. Wallace
said, and the harder the communica-
tion with Washington the less the work
would be retarded. He thought the
engir eer in charge was not paid an ex-
cessi salary.
a Senator Morgan suggested Mr.. Stew
ems was receiving as much as all of the
senator's on the committee, and Mr..
Wallace replied eyes; l presume he
earns it,"
Discussing rates on the Panama rail-
road, he thought there should be no
classif cation of freight in the schedules,
but that charge of 50 ton should be
made. Continuing he said:
"If this government cannot deal with
the rates on that little railroad in
manner, it had better leave
the railroad systems of the United
States alone"

self free from all scandals, notably that
Of Panama, which tarnished the repu-
France On the other hand, he is with
out any striking individuality, conveys
the idea Of lack Of backbone, and has
offended number Of people by his
weakness for the pomp and ceremony
tions. He will probably be an entirely
passive executive of the will Of the
Chambers of the National Legislature.
He is terribly fat, not particularly
decorative and will in his fondneSS for
Elysee Palace recall many of the anus
ing idiosyncrasies Of poor Felix Faure.

CHINESE GOOD SOLDIERS.
Minister Discusses Agitation and Pre-
parations for War.

Berlin, Feb. 8. - General Tchang
Tcheng, the Chinese minister to Ger
many, in the course of an interview
with the Tageblatt's correspondent on
the disquieting rumors from China,
said that China needed reform in her
head and limbs. Europe, he said,
had been surprised that Japan had be-
come greater than China, whose SOL
diers, and especially those in the north
ern part OF the empire, compare physic-
ally with the Prussian guards. Money
for army and navy expenses, he eaic,
should not be considered, as the popu-
lation of over 400 900, 900 could easily
ests were touched.
China, the minister continued,
strongly wishes for commercial deal
ings with foreign countries, but prefers
those without Chinese colonies. The
missionaries, he added, cause hatred of
foreigners by their tactless proselyting
and the fighting between Protestants
and Catholics.
The minister was asked if the navy
and army reinforcements which the
United States is sending to the Philip
pines in the expectation Of difficulties
with China might arouse the Chinese
dragon. He replied:
"If the American government sends
who can say it fears
difficulties with China? 1t is all nom
sense. | believe the armaments are
prepared against somebody else; l can
not express myself more definitely"

ROSE FROM POVERTY.
II. III. Rogers, Standard Oil Mag
nate, Was Once q NewsbOy.

nate, Was Once u NewsbOy.
Henry II. Rogers, ''the piston rod OF
the Standard Oil engine" rose to his
present commanding position In the
world Of finance from the work Of a
newsboy in the village Of New Bedford,
Mass. But there were members Of his
family in the town Of Fairhaven, Conn.,,
where he was born, who needed his
help and he found job as delivery boy
in grocery at So week and board.
He sent the So home and after five
years Of service became head clerk. To
this day he recOunts to his intimates
his rise to salary of So week as the
proudest achievement of his life.
New Bedford at that time, for Henry
H. Rogers is now nearly 70 years old,
was the home port for fleets Of Ameri-
can whalers and the sperm oil traffic
was large, kerosene being unknown.
Young Rogers knocked about the whal-
ers and oil refineries with his eyes open
and with an increasing appreciation of
the commercial value of OIL Then came
the discovery of coal oil in Pennsyl-
vania, an event that instantly took the
life out of the sperm oil industry. Rog-
ers Joined the rush to the oil fields and
found profitable employment. Here he
began to give evidence Of the genius
for organization and executive ability
that carried him to his present posi-
ton, where he may defy States with
impunity. With astonishing grasp Of
the possibilities Of the oil trade he pro-
posed to the big operators one plan af-
ter another for the saving and market
ing Of the products of the wells, and
many Of these ideas were adopted.
Mr.. Rogers has not been known as
one Of the nations very rich men who
have gone in for any special form of
charity or philanthropic work. His sen
timental fondness for the town Of his
birth, however, has been evidenced by
his lavish expenditure of money for
Fairhaven. Fifteen years ago he be-
gan to make Fairhaven famous by do
mating a school house costing 100000.
Two years later his children. three
daughters and son, built a library as
q memorial to sister, stocked it with
books, statues, pictures, and endowed

Washington, Feb. O. John F. Wal
lace was before the senate inter oceanic
canal COMMITTEES today and made a
statement regarding the severance OF
his relations with the Canal commits
sion. In it he spoke of tie violent at
tack of Secretary Taft t,and Mr. Crom-
well, the only basis Of which was, he
said, difference OF opinion between
himself and Taft and Cromwell as to
his right to decide when he thought
the welfare of the enterprise and his
own justified his resignation. He was
liable 20 be dismisse at any time.

THE RATE BILL.
Provisions Of the Measure Passed
by the House..

4
by the House.
Washington, Feb 8. - The railroad
rate bill is intended and does comply
specifically with the recommendations
OF President Roosevelt on the rate
question. 1t gives the Interstate Com
merce commission authority, when a
rate has been com planned Of as 'un-
reasonable" by sh pper, to investi-
gate that rate, state whether or not 1t
is unreasonable, and if found to be
unreasonable, to name rate, which is
to be just and reasonable, and fairly
remunerative. and which is to be the
maximum rate to be charged.
This rate, 80 fixed, is to 60 into
effect 80 days after it is announced by
the commission, subject, during that
time, to be set aside or suspended by
the commission or by the courts. After
it has gone into effect, it is to remain
the rate for three years. During this
time, according to the opinion that
has been expressed by those who have
participated in the debate. the rate
may also be reviewed by the courts,
and, if found to be in conflict either
with the constitution by being confs-
catory, it can be set aside by the courts.
Another important feature is the
definition OF the words "railroad" and
transportation" in manner to in
clude all auxiliary instrumentalities.
This power to name reasonable
rate and the inclusion of the auxili
aries within the Jurisdiction OF the
commission. are said to be the new
features. All other provisions are mod
ifications of existing law. They in
clude publicity of railroad methods,
which is % be aided by prescribing
system of bookkeeping, and enlarging
the commission to seven members and
increasing salaries of members to 500,
900 a wear.
