til the latter part OF 1902, when he de-

treatment of trusts by reducing the tariff
in whole or in part were not in accord
with many OF his party.

Disaster to Turkish Troops.

Coustantinople, Feb. 26,-The cor
respondent Of the Publishers Press is in
formed by the British Embassy that Tur-
key has met with a great disaster in the
Yemen campaign. Rumors to this effect
have been spreading for several days
past, but hitherto it has been impossible
to confirm them. Full details of what
has transpired have not yet been received,
but the Arabs apparently have asserted
their independence. The Turkish casual.
lies in the campaign are said to have
been over 1900. General Ria Pasha,
commander of the Turkish troops, is re-
ported to have been fatally wounded.
The Sultan has secured loan of 81 ,0O0,

The hIinera

New York, Feb. ga settlement OF
the differences in the biluminOus coal
fields seems assured and The Publishers
Press is able to announce this afternoon
on high authority that an agreement be-
tween the United Mine Workers and
soft coal operators is likely.
New York, Feb. 26. "A final effort to
effect solution of the difficulties in the
bituminous coal field was made today
when President John Mitchell, President
O'COnnor, of the Indiana district Of the
Union Mine Workers; President Has
kins, of the Ohio district; and Secretary
Ryan, of the Illinois district; held a
conference with several soft coal opera
tors led by Harry Taylor, of Illinois.

To Retire from Railroad Boards

New York, Feb. 90 Members Of the
firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., have deter
mined to retire from all railroad boards
in which the firm is represented. The
reason for this step is the steadily in
creasing difficulty which the members
of the firm have been experiencing in
meeting the demands of their own bust
ness, and at the same time giving the
necessary time and attention to the per-
formance of their duties as directors of
corporations. Kuhn, Loeb Il Co. is
one Of the important banking firms of
the world. 1t has been in most of the
big railroad dea!s in this country and
have disposed of many great government
loans.

PRESIDENT HADLEY, of Yale Uni
versily, is an acknowledged authority on
railway economics and believes that the
proposition of the Hepburn bill to make
the decisions of the Interstate Commerce
Commission final on all matters of fact is
illogical and impracticable. Nevertheless,
he is quoted az saying that the passage OF
the Hepburn bill would be better than
any compromise thus far suggested.
Probably he had not seen Senator'S
Knox's bill at the tii4e, but, as says
the Philadelphia Record, "even if he
had not, some other compromise would
seem to be better than a measure
that gives the commission too
great power, embodies principle that
has been tried ia England and aban-
doned, and that is illogical and imprac-
ticable in this country"

MONDAY EVENING. FEB. 20, 1906.

AN AMENDMENT TO the State constitu-
ton was proposed in the Senate Satar-
day by Senator Machen, Of Alexandra,
which provides for ninety day sessions
Of the general assembly, for an extension
of sessions by tbree-ffths vote OF the
members. prohibiting the introduction
OF new bills sixty days after beginning
of session, and dispensing with the
many readings and roll calls except on
the final passage Of measures. 1t IS
hooed that Senator Msehen's measures
will not be passed by the legislature,
but if they are, the people who under the
constitution must vote upon them will
see that they never become laws. The
very provisions which Mr.. Machen
would abolish are among the very best
IN The constitution and were placed
therein by experienced men after much
consideration. Sixty days is sufficiently
long fDr the Legislators to transact the
States business, as there are already
laws enough on the statute books 10 last
a century, and the trainers Of The consti-
ton, realizing this, came within an zee
Of making the legislative sessions quad
rennial instead of biennial and many
regret that they did not do so. Ia cases
OF necessity the present constitution
makes ample provisions for extending
the sessions and holding extra sessions,
and as to prohibiting the introduction OF
bills after a certain date, they, the legis-
tors have that matter in their own
hands. The laws requiring the reading
of bills and roll calls are safe provisions
and should be let alone. They were
placed in the constitution by men who
had seen and who knew in previous
years how many "wild cat" schemes
had been rushed through the legislature
without a majority of the members
knowing what they were voting upon.
