PAY TOO MUCH TO RAILWAYS
Reduction in Rates in Hauling Mail
Is Favored
POSTAL CLERKS HAVE GONE ON RECORD
PASSED STRONG RESOLUTIONS
AT ANNUAL STATE MEETING IN
BELLINGHAM.
POSTAL CLERKS HAVE GONE ON RECORD

At the state convention of postal
clerks, which met at Bellingham last
week. a number of resolutions were
passed by the convention bearing upon
subjects of interest to the clerks. The
most important were two of national
the rates for the transportation of
mail, thus decreasing the deficit in the
postal department, and the other in
dorsing the bills for an eight hour day,
for a 80 days vacation and for the
classification of mail matter. The bills
for shorter working days and for high
er pay were fully discussed, but on ac
count of their position as government
it would be wise to put themselves on
record too strongly, and no resolution
was passed concerning the salary ques-
ton
Other resolutions passed were one Of
sympathy to the San Francisco and
California clerks who suffered in the
late disaster, one on the death of the
late j. P. Hicks, of Tacoma, a member
of the organization before his demise,
one of thanks to the chamber of COM
merce the postmaster and the assist
ant postmaster of Everett for their
efforts in behalf of the classification
bill, one of commentator to the Ever
EFT branch for the movement started
classification bill, one of thanks to the
chamber of commerce, commercial club,
postmaster and assistant postmaster
of Seattle for their efforts in behalf
of the postal clerks, one of thanks to
the postmaster and assistant postmas-
ter of Tacoma for their efforts in be-
half of the eight hour schedule and clas-
sification bill, and one of gratitude to
members of congress who have sup
ported measures advocated by the pos
tai clerks, one of thanks to Belling-
ham for the entertainment of the clerks
of the state and for contributing SO
much to the success of the convention,
and one of thanks to the Seattle branch
for the invitation to meet in that city
next year.

lumbermen to Be on Same FOOTING
As Coal Men
PILES AMENDMENTS WILL GO DOWN
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON
RATE BILL WILL STRIKE
OUT EXEMPTION.

There is every indication that SEN
ator Piles amendment to the railroad
rate bill will be knocked out by the
conference committee. This amend
ment permitted lumber companies to
own and operate logging roads and
branch railroads connecting their mills
with trunk lines, is the report that
comes from Washington With the
Piles amendment eliminated, lumber
men will be placed on the same foot
ing as coal operators and will be re-
duired to relinquish their little rail-
roads whenever their product enters
into interstate commerce. Lumbermen
doing business wholly within a single
state will not be affected.
This amendment is fought by Sena-
tor Tillman, who is acting on the sug-
gestion of Bailey. The latter was not
present when the amendment was
adopted, but afterwards declared he
would have defeated the amendment
had he been present. The eXtermina-
ton of Piles amendment will result in
a general Encouragement of the bust
ness Of the big lumber companies of
Oregon and Washington, for they all
own small railroads which, under the
bill they must relinquish. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that the stockholders
in each of these lumber companies will
organize new companies to operate
their railroads. so that in reality the
companies that engage in numbering
will, under another name, own the
logging and spur railroads.

How the Topaz Is COlored.

The finding of blue topaz in Rhode
sia is an interesting discovery. 1t Is
not, however, as has been stated in the
papers, a new gem, for, although the
normal color of the topaz Is yellow, a
blue variety is by no means uncom-
mon. The Siberian stones, for ex-
ample, have q blush tinge, while those
from the highlands Of Scotland are OF
a sky blue color. The pink topaz OF the
jeweler is probably always an artificial
product as regards it's color. In 1850
a Partisan jeweler. Dumelle. discover
ed that the yellow Brazilian topaz,
when moderately heated. acquired a
rose pink color. The stone is wrapped
In German finder. which is then ignit-
ed. The resulting burned topaz" Is
sometimes known as Brazilian ruby
so the blue topaz is sometimes known
as Brazilian sapphire" - London

class men. was resumed this morning. Ex-
treme interest is being taken in his case,

and is also captain of one of the COM
panies.
Colonel Lauchheimer. counsel for Miller.
announced that he would call no other wit
nesses and began his argument He said
that there had been substantial disagree
ment between the witnesses for either side.
and as their statements would not be de-
MED by Miller he had decided not to put
the accused on the stand.

the narrow question was presented to the

ATTITUDE OF NEBRASKA MEN
Several of Them Inclined TO Favor
Amended Philippine Tariff
Measure.


WASHINGTON. Jan. IS. - Chairman
Payne Of the house ways and means COM
mittee announced tonight that he was con-
hdent that the Philippine tariff bill will
pass without amendment when put to
vote. He said he was unwilling to accept
the amendment proposed by the beet sugar
mon and declared It would be better for
the bill to be defeated than passed in such
form that the amount OF sugar permitted
to come to the United States annually at
reduced rates would be limited to a definite
amount In the opinion OF Mr.. Payne such
limitation would defeat the purpose OF the
measure. Several conferences were held
today between republican leaders of the
two factions. but the administration faction
refused to accept any OF the compromise
amendments submitted by the Insurgents %
although they were carefully considered.
The "stalwarts.' who were reported to
be lined up firmly with the administration
two weeks ago. are now said to be showing
signs OF weakening and favoring amehd-
ments favorably eitherto the sugar or
tobacco interests in their respective dis
tricts. Early In the session It was an
nounced that the entire Nebraska deega-
tion would stand by the administration
measure Two members have weakened al
ready and others are said to be wavering
and inclined to favor an amended bill The
beet sugar interests of the state are re-
sponsible for this change Of view. and a
| number Of other representatives from mid
die western states are said to be yielding
to home influences On the other hand
there are several representatives from,
| sugar beet districts who like Representa-
| tive Cooper of Wisconsin. announce they
will vote for the bill it now stands and
are confident that full explanation of
Philippine conditions will persuade theiI
constituents that no harm will result &c
home grown sugar from the small amount
of Philippine sugar which will come here
| under reduced tariff rates.

DEMURReRS ARE NOW ARGUED
Attorneys for Greene and Gaynor At
tnciS sumciency of Indictment
at Savannah.

SAVANNAH Ca. Jan. 15.-Demurrers to
the two indictments returned against
Greene and Gaynor last November were ar
gued upon the opening OF the federal court
today Colonel 2. W. Meldrim making the
argument for the defendants after reading
the indictments to them.
These indictments are Nos. 476 and AZ
on the docket The counts of No. 476 al
legged embezzlement in conjunction with
former Captain oberlin NJ. Carter and
others on July 6. 1897. of the sums of ssl5,OcO
and S230,7p No. Al is the indictment
charging thhe receiving of money the de-
PENDANTS knew Carter to have embezzled.
Colonel Medrim demurred on many
grounds. among them that the indictments
failed to set out that the defendants were
officers Of any banking establishment au-
thorized to receive pubic 4noneys; that
they failed to set out when, where and how
! the moneys were fraudulenty received and
frnudulently paid out; that they failed in
statements Of the facts. but alleged con-
clusions. Colonel Meldrim declared that
the checks for the two amounts alleged
did not show in anywise connection be-
tween Greene and Gaynor. On the con-
tr1ry. they were drawn by Captain Carter
tU the order of the Atlantic Contracting
con pany, and that In no way did the de-
l"r1ants appear as endorserS or collectors
II the money. The indictments fail to set
/ out and prove, also, he declared. that the
defendants bore any connection with the
Atlantic Contracting company. which. more
/ over, bore no relation of fiduciary nature
! toward the United States. the government
bestnwing no trust or confidence in it. but
exercising the closest surveillance over il.
/ The arguments had not been concluded at
adjournment and tomorrow morning Judge
s. b. Adams will be heard for the govern
ment aud Colonel Meldrim will conclude
for the defense. Judge Speer will then take
the demurrers under consideration and II
