PETITION FOR REHEARINo
By United States Supreme Court OF
the Traction Cases.

A petition was presented in the United
States Supreme Court today for a rehear-
ing in the great Chicago traction cases, re-
Gently decided by that court against the
street railroads. The petition is signed by
counsel for the railroads and is based
mainly upon these grounds:
First The second section of the act OF
1865 is not open to the construction arrived
at In the prevailing opinion. whereby the
words continued in force during the life
hereof are made inapplicable to the con-
tracts. stipulations, licenses and undertake
ings mentioned in said section.
Nor is said section open to the con-
struetion that the words quoted are ap-
plicable only to acts and deeds of trans
fer of franchises derived from the state.
Second. One of the grounds assumed by
the court as a foundation for its conclu-
sion and, it is submitted. as a necessary
founda ton for It's reasoning and conclusion
lis that all the ordinances previous to 1866.
except the ordinance of 1854. contains time
limits. The assumption Is Incorrect.
Third. further incorrect statement
upon which the reasoning and conclusion
of the court are based is that the act OF
1865 was never recognized or acted upon
in any ordinance of the city before or after
the passage of the act.
upon pre-existing ordinances has clearly
been misapprehended by the court. and the
conclusions arrived at cannot be supported
by the facts or defended under the accept
ed rules of statutory construction.
I'm the presentation of the foregoing
views the effort has been to avoid any OF
the arts of advocacy, and simply to state.
with accuracy and emphasis certain views
based upon the facts of the. case. dis
tributed through voluminous record,
which have seemed to counsel to make 1t
clear that not only great injury but
great injustice will have been done in this
case if the conclusions announced in the
prevailing opinion in this case are adhered
to.
I'VE submit. with all respect, but with
the f1rmest confidence in the justice of our
contention, that the foregoing considera-
tons esta blish that the court has come to
it's conclusions on misapprehension of the
text and the evident purpose and spirit of
the act Of 1865, and of the facts in the
record of this case, to the obliteration of
vast vested interests. without the oppor-
tunity of counsel to be heard upon the
point which, to the mind Of the court.
seemed controlling in its conclusions.
1--WE submit that, under the rules of the
court, case has been made out emitting
your petitioners to a reargument.'
The court will take the petition under
consideration.

RELIEF OF THE CHINESE.
Subscription of s75, 900 Made by the
Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager of China offered a
personal subscription of $4,000 to United
States Minister Rockhill at Picking for the
relief of the San Francisco sufferers, which
Mr.. Rockhll has been instructed by the
State Department to decline with an ex-
preston of the appreciation of this govern
ment. 1t is probable that this money will
be sent direct to Chinese representatives in
San Francisco for the use of the homeless
Chinese.
Sir Chentung Liang-Cheng, the Chinese
minister. received dispatches today from
China showing that movements for the re-
lief of the Chinese In California have been
instituted in many cities In China Nine
charitable organizations in Hongkong have
subscribed $4,000 and smaller amounts
have been contributed in other cities.

Sixth Field Battery Of United States

Houston, Texas, Jan. 12.-The sixth
field battery of the United States ar
tillery, commanded by Captain G. w.
Gatchell, entered Fort Sam Houston
today, amid the cheers of the local
garrison. The battery broke the
worlds record for long distance prac-
tice march of the artillery, having COW
cred an estimated LOO miles from Ft.
Riley, Kansas, to Fort Sam Houston,
in fifty-five days. The battery was
compelled to make several detours in
order to evade the bad roads and un-
usually rough country. The artillery
men were a sorry appearing set. Their
clothing was in tatters, and SO COW
cred with mud and dirt that the color
of their clothes could not be distin-
guished. The men are haggard and
lean. Many of them were scarcely able
to travel, and their horses resembled
moving skeletons. Private Arthur
Elan died at Austin, from the exposure
and hardships encountered on the
march,

ing Majority In Parliament, While
the Irish Claim They Will Have
Balance Of Power.

London. Jan. 12.-The general elec-
tion was opened this morning and three
liberals were elected without contest.
Nominations were made today IN $50
boroughs. Elections in these boroug'as
will commence tomorrow and last for
several days. Ipswich is the only bor-
ough polling today.
one Of the remarkable features OF
the Campaign is the extraordinary
number OF seats handed over to the lib
erals without any attempt of the un-
aosists to contest them. This is at
tribute,l in conservative circles to the
certainly that the liberals will win the
election, it being argued that 1t is bet
ter to reserve conservative strength for
the later struggle. which is anticipated
after the liberals have held office for
= year or two, when the unionists con-
eider the chances of their being re-
turned to power will be more prom
Using. There is, however, great uncer-
tainty ON all sides as to the extent
or the liberal victory. The liberal en-
thusiasts claim their party will have a
wotkiny majority Independent OF the
Iri}6 nationalists, but more conserva-
tive estimates give Premier Campbell
Bannerman a majority Of only sixty or
seventy, leaving the Irish nationalists
the balance of power Arthur ]. Bal

Attorney General of Missouri
Learns OF Witness Thru
Mysterious Letter
CONFIDENTIAL MAN ON STAND
John corkhill Who Was In Office of
Manager Of the Standards Clearing
House Has Promised to Tell What
He Knows at the Hearing Whom 1t
Is Resumed.

New York, Jan. 12.-Thru an an
onymous letter signed "A Wall Street
Clerk" Attorney General Hadley, OF
Missouri, discovered yesterday a wit
ness whose testimony, it is declared,
will probably do more to disclose the
secret workings of the Standard Oil
Company, than that of all the witnesses
who have hitherto been examined in the
inquiry before Commissioner Sanborn.
This Witness John Corkhill, began his
business career as John d. Rockefellers s
office boy, and worked his way up until
he was confidential man to w. e. Benz
is, manager of the Standards clearing
house, where the relations between the
subsidiary companies and the Standard
corporation are laid bare. Corkhill con-
tinued with the Standard until John D..
Rockefeller's retirement from the ac-
tive management and then followed a
period of retrenchment and he re-
signed. The writer of the letter to the
attorney general said he feared he
would lose his position if his identity
became known, but he wished to help
the investigation and so suggested
Corkhill as valuable witness. Inn
mediately upon its receipt, Hadley
turned the letter over to Rush Lake,
assistant attorney general of Missouri
and before the day was over Corkhill
was located and had given his promise
to appear before the commissioner
when wanted. Corkhill told Lake he
was willing to tell all he knew con-
cerning the affairs Of the Standard
