Planned To kiduap Lincoln.

FORT SMITH, Ark, May 9.-R. M.
Smoot, who was In the plot to kidnap
President Abraham Lincoln, and who
sold to John Surratt the boat with
which it was intended to convey Lin
coin across the Potomac river, died
here today, aged - years.
Smoot was a man of massive stat.
ure, and during the civil war was a
blockade runner. He stated to his
friends that while he sold the boat to
Surratt for the purpose of kidnapping
President Lincoln and was to have
been a party to the kidnapping. he
knew nothing OF the intention to kill
the president.
He was familiar with the arrange.
ments made for the escape of Surratt,
and often visited Mrs. Surratt, the
latter's mother, in Washington, pend.
ing completion of the arrangements
for KIDNAPPING. He was arrested as q
suspect and remained in confinement
for ten days in Washington.

Grating Relief Supplies.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-TWO light
earthquake shocks were felt about
11:l5 O'Clock last night. The shocks
were reported to be very severe at
LivermOre and some damage to prop
erty done there.
The police today began to raid the
houses where it Is known that relief
supplies have been drawn ia excess OF
the regular rations. 1t Is said that
among the grafters there are many
men who have been drawing large sal.
aries from large corporations and who
can suffer only temporarily from the
misfortune.
1t seems to be the general c~oncensus
OF opinion that the best behaved class
of people among the sufferers and
those who have given the police and
soldiers the least trouble are the poor
families of working men who have los,
all in the disaster. Many cases have
come to light where the rich have i'm.
posed on the officials and have secured
supplies and clothing for which they
could easily have paid and which
should have gone to the destitute.

cred, and the guilty persons are being
heavily punished.
On an average of forty insanity
cases have been examined each day
during the last week by a commission
of physicians. These cases are due
mostly to the sudden cutting off oil
stimulants from habitual drinkers.
Only a few of the cases can be traced
to shock and strain e~ntailed by the
disaster.

Standard Oil Investigation.

CHICAGO, May l0.-The Inquiry by
the government, through the interstate
commerce commission, into the rela-
lions between the Standard Oil and
the railways commenced here today.
Two OF the points upon which it is
said the investigation will endeavor
to throw light are matters of the pipe
lines of the Standard Oil company
which are laid along the railroads
rights .of.way, and the purchase of
Galena oil by the railroads for head
light and signal purposes.
The first witness was E. NJ. Without.
OF Topeka, Kan, now an independent
oil operator, who, ten years ago, was
an agent for the STANDARD Oil com.
pany. He said that while in the en-
ploy of the STANDARD Oil he had, in
following out instructions of his su.
perior officers, bribed clerks in the of.
fees of the railroads., and employees of
independent oil concerns, in order to
obtain information of the details of
the business done by the rivals of the
Standard Oil company. He declared
that the agents of the Standard Oil
company are held personally respon.
sible for all oil sold in their territory
by the independent companies, and
tina the drivers of tank wagons are
expected to keep up their stock by
selling POS to 205 gallons from a wagon
load of 200 gallons. He said that &C.
tual tests of the product of the Stand
ard Oil company to determine the
quality are carefully guarded. and
that when it was found necessary to
cut the price to meet the figure of a
competitor, a cheaper quality of oil
was substituted, aud guaranteed of a
higher grade than it really was.
Mr.. Without said that fully three
grades of oil were sold from the same
tank by agents of the Standard Oil
company.

The sen ate spent the greater part Of

question Of divorcing the production

their transportation. aud closed that
branch of its work by adopting a
modified provision, formerly offered
by Senator Elkins but originally sug.
gested BY Senator McLaurin. There
was again much disputing over par.
liamentary points, but there was At
no point as much confusion as on
Tuesday.
Rapid progress was made and be.
fore adjournment the first section had
been disposed Of. When the senate
adjourned there was q general feeling
that the rapid work of the latter part
Of the session predicted the early final
disposition of the bill.
Senator Carter, of Montana, this
afternoon spoke with great feeling in
opposition to the Elkins amendment
to the rate bill designed to preventing
railroads from operating mines and
from transporting all commodities
owned or produced by themselves.
Mr.. Garter insisted III at as The amend.

The amendment he said should be re.
ferred to the interstate commerce com.
mittee for revision. Senator Clark

afternoon.

RATE BILL.
senate Amendment Makes Imprisonment nj
One Of the Penalties.

WASHINGTON. May l0.-The senate
today completed the consideration OF
the second section OF the railroad bill
and just before adjournment listened
TO the reading of sections 3 and l..
without considering any amendments
offered to them. The purpose Of this
reading was to bring the consid.
Grafton of the bill up t the point Of
taking up the Allison compromise
amendments, which will be done to.
morrow.
A number OF very important changes
we're made in the second section, in.
GLIDING q provision restoring the i'm.
prisonment penalty of the act OF 1887,
and an amendment, suggested by Sen.
ator McCumber, imposing a penalty
Of fine and Imprisonment against ship.
pers who secure rebates from the
transportation companies. The latter
amendment was incorporated for the
avowed purpose Of hitting the trusts.
Another amendment adopted was
offered by Senator Warren. 1t gives
the government business preference
over all other traffic in time of war.
A long series Of changes we're also
made at the instance OF thel~ interstate
commerce commission. Many of these
were verbal, and all were intended to
improve the administration features
Of the law. There was continuous de.
bate throughout the day, and there
"a no little complaint that senators
m manifested q disposition toI increase
the time allowed them under the Is.
minute rule by speaking on amend.
ments to amendments, and also by
speaking in the time Of other sen
Senator Tillman stated priv ately, when
the senate adjourned, tina. If these
practices continue he would make an
effort tomorrow 70 have the speeches
limited to five minutes duration.
Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin,
attempted to secure the imposition of
Imprisonment for violations of the
provisions Of the interstate commerce
law. He proposed terms from one 70
five years in addition to fines from
$1,000 to $50, 00O, for unjust discrimiu-
alton, and for false representations to
secure business at less than the es.
tablished rate. Calling attention to
the fact that the Elkins act had re.
moved the imprisonment pen Atty, he
claimed that the effect had been a
rapid increase in violations Of the law.
He expressed the opinion that it cor.
gress wanted to make the proposed
law effective it would re.impose the
Imprisonment provision.
Senator Dolliver called attention to
the fact that there had ibeen &c con.
viction under the old act, and said
that the change a made in the Ell
kins law because Of the general opin.
ion In congress that more could be
accomplished by a penalty emitting
the Imprisonment feature. Neverthe-
less he intended to vote for the amend.
ment because he believed ''the great
representatives Of the property inter-
ests should be com PEELED to show the
same respect for the laws as the com.
mon people, He said the president
OF a great railroac company had said
to him that railroads could not be ex.
pected to obey the law.
