Thirty-Six Hour Bill.

WashingtOn.-The House committee
on interstate commerce favorably re
ported the substitute for Representa-
tive Frenchs thirty -siXhour live stock
bill. 1t confers absolute power on the
secretary of agriculture to regulate
stock shipments, permitting him to ex
tend or shorten periods as he may
deem proper. Under this bill the sec
retary could continue to enforce the
present twenty-eight- hour law. he could
permit shipments for longer period
or, should he be so disposed, require
the unloading of stock every eight
hours, as demanded by some Humane
society officials. The bill is said to be
unsatisfa ctory to western congress
men, and an effort is being made to
strike out the authority to shorten per
iods of shipments. If this cannot be
done, it is declared the bill will prob
ably not pass.

Washinston.-The executive council
OF the Federation of Labor Saturday
reaff1rmed its decision and the decis-
ion of the American Federation of La
Dor relative to political action as fol-
lows:
We reaffirm as one of the cardinal
principles of the trade union move
ment that the working people must
unite and organize. irrespective of
creed, color, sex, nationality OF poll
tics.
THAT the American Federation of
Labor most firmly and unequivocally
favors the independent use of the bal
lot by the trade unionists and working
men, united regardless OF party. that
we may elect men from our own party,
that we may elect men from our own
ranks to make new lays and admins
ter them along the lines laid down in
the Legislative demands of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, and at the
same time secure an impartial judi
ciary that will not govern US by arbi-
trary injunctions of the courts, nor act
as the plant tools of corporate wealth.
That as our efforts are centered
against all forms of industrial slavery
and economic wrong, We must also di-
rect our utmost energies to remove all
forms of political servitude and party
slavery. to the end that the working
people may act as unit at the polls at
every election"
The policy of questioning candidates
for Office upon questions affecting the
interests of labor and the people gen
orally, 1t was decided, should be coll
tinued and more assressiyely prose
cuted.

WRECK IN WYOMING.
Fearful Loss Of Life and Suffering
Near. Natrona.

Denver-One of the worst wrecks in
the history of Wyoming railroads oc-
cured late Sunday night on the Chi
cago & Northwestern, near Natrona.
According to Casper dispatches work
train feeling its way over a section
inundated by rains and melting snow
suddenly dropped through bridge
spanning a small stream and in an in
stant twenty-seven men, pinioned by
the wreckage of cars. were being
smothered in mud Before they could
be extricated ten were dead, two were
fatally injured and the remaining vic
tins suffered untold agony while
awaiting the arrival of medical aid.
The railroad sent relief train from
Casper promptly, but it was blocked
by weak bridge. The doctors crossed
the stream on wagon bridge and took
a handcar, which was soon stuck in
snow, furious storm arising. The res.
cuers were compelled to await the al
rival of teams to convey them to tn"
scene of the wreck. the delay being
eighteen hours.
The wreck occurred at o'clock as
the train was crossing small stream
The engine passed over in safety, but
its weight broke down the pilins,
which had been undermined by tbs
flood waters, and the cars following
dropped into the ravine.
The one coach was filled with Aus
trian and Italian laborers. 1t was tel
escoped by heavy water car follow
ing and crushed like an egg shell.
Many of the passengers were caught
under the wreCkage. and it was hours
before they were taken out, One or
two were drowned, and several were
killed outright. Several laborers wer-
thrown into the water and had narrow
escapes from drowning.

handed down in the case of w. c. IT.

Wyoming Irvine sought to compel
Brooks to issue him certificate of
election as state treasurer to four
year term. Brooks cOntended that lr'
vine was elected merely to fill out the
expired term of II. G. Hay, resigned,
or for two years only. The state Su
preme Court holds that Irvine was
elected to fill out the uneXpired term
of Hay, and that his term shall be two
years in length only. AS Governor
Brooks was elected under circum-
stances identical. almost. with those OF
the Irvine case. the decision of the Su'
preme Court means that both treas.
urer and governor must be elected

SEARCH OF EXPLOSIVES.
Steve Adams Leads Officers to Mill at
Boise.

Boise. Idaho.--A special to the
Statesman from Pocatello says:
Steve Adams, held in the state peni-
tentiary on charge of connection
with the murder of Steunenberg, ar
rived here Monday in charge OF War
den Whitney. Guard Robbins and De-
tective Thiele, accompanied by Detec-
tive MCFARLAND and Governor Gooding,
for the purpose of pointing out the To-
cation of the place where, late in the
summer of 1903. he buried five bottles
of terrible explosive which he calls
Greek fire.
The spot is beside an old sheet iron
building on the eastern extremity OF
the town. now used as a horse stable,
but which at'the time Adams was here
was a deserted mill and sort of rem
devious for hoboes, being near the
railway.
Work was begun with spades and
pitchforks to clean away and dig for
the bottles. A glass stopper was found
which Adams claims is exactly like
those used in the smaller bottles; also
rusted and burned tin can containing
a burned and charred substance in the
bottom Other miscellaneous digging
failed to bring to light the bottles.
The stopper and can were found
near together and it is possible that
the liquid in the bottles may have
leaked cut and set an underground
fire, melting the bottles.
Adams says that in exploding the
preparation in the bottles would have
made no noise, nor, If buried under
ground, made an upheaval. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that Adams buried in
struments of death has not been found
At O'Clock work was practically post

Record Of Financial institutions for
the Year 1905 Shows Remarkable
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.
Ottawa. Canada. March 1.-The year
which has Just closed has been one OF
the most satisfactory and progressive
with the financial institutions OF Can
ada. and the business OF the charter
ed banks reflects the unprecedented
prosperity enjoyed throughout the
country during the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks OF the Dominion by the COM
mercial and agricultural expansion OF
the year were provided for without
the monetary disturbances sometimes
roted In the United States. Whatever
opinions may be held as TO the COM
position OF the Canadian banking sys-
tenn. II is claimed that its flexible
currency has many commendable
features. and without which the last
few months OF the year must have pro-
duced money stringency with prob
ably disastrous results. II is felt that
a wider field OF credit In the Dominion
Is needed. and consequently the capt
tai OF many existing banking institu-
tions has been increased and several
new banks are In progress OF organlza-
ton.
The chartered banks or Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence OF the gen.
eral public TO a greater extent than
ever before. The total deposits OF the
people In these institutions last year
were s522.3l7.000. which shows an In
crease OF over $50 .000. 900 for the year.
In actual money In bank probably no
other country In the world. compara-
lively speaking. can make a better
showing than Canada
The total deposits OF the Canadian
people In the Government savings
banks. In special savings institutions.
and in tho chartered banks alone
amounted last year TO the enormous
sum OF 1909 $4,000 This represents
an average credit balance OF over
800 per head OF the population OF the
Dominion. and II is stated that the
only other country In the world that
approaches this record is Denmark.
where the average credit balance Is
about $1,000 per capita The above
figures. however. do not comprehend
moneys deposited with private bank
ers. loan companies. mortgage cor
porations and trust companies. or
