NEED OF TROOPS AT MANILA.
It is Said That the Situation in China
is Disquieting.

1t is probable that Secretary Root him
self will have an opportunity to explain to
Congress, through one of the House COM
mittees the actual need OF the proposed IN
crease of the number of United States
troops in the Philippines, which led to the
passage between Secretary Taft and the
Senate committee on appropriations recent
ly. For 1t Is said to be the case that the
War Department, In moving in this direc-
tion, is simply following the suggestion O.
the Department of State and 1t is prob-
able that Secretary Root will find it neces-
sary, unless the plan of holding force
ready for service In China is to be aban-
doned, to explain to Congress the facts
which have impelled him to make the sug-
gestion to Secretary Taft.
That explanation will doubtless be made
in confidence, for although It is known In a
central way that the State Department has
had many disquieting reports from its
agents in China, II would scarcely be diplo-
matte to publish them.
1t Is declared that the conditions IN
China at present bear a resemblance to
those that preceded the Boxer uprising OF
1900, and the position of the Sta.e DEPART
ment Is that as the presence Of United
States troops made the Pekfng relief ex-
pedition successful and saved the lives OF
the legations, It would not be justified In
refraining from taking every precaution to
avert possible loss of American lives and
property, not only at the legation In
Peking. but among the missionaries and
business men in the Chinese trade centern.

TO GIVE RATE A FAIR TRIAL.
"Pennsy" officials Opinion of the
New Legislation.

PITTSBURG, Pa, February 10. j. ].
Brooks, general counsel for the Pennsyl-
vania lines, said today that the company
had no intention of contesting the 2-cent
rate law passed by the Ohio legislature.
'oThe law is Valid he said. land the only
thing we can do is to operate under 1t the
best we can. We mean to give the 2-cent
rate a fair trial. We do not wish to take
off trains. reduce the speed of trains or do
anything else that will make the service
poorer.
However. If we find that we cannot
maintain service as good as at present and
make fair revenue from our passenger
traffic we will prepare data and statistics
which we will present to the legislature at
Its next session and win ask for the repeal
or modification of the 2-cent law. 1t ID
probable that Ohio will have railroad
commission by that time. and the matter
ought to be referred TO that body. We shall
make no protest against the law IL we can
make fair revenue under it."

shoulder and both legs. His assailant, who
was shot and killed by an orderly who
rushed to the admirars assistance. Is be-
lieved, like the murderess of Lieut.. Gen.

miral's office she drew a rapid-fire pistol
and fired four shots at Chouknin with de-
liberate aim, each bullet reaching the

animation by the surgeons. Later he re-

IMPORTANT REVELATIONS.
Expected From Inquiry Into Railway
Oil Tariffs.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURG, a., Feb. 1O-It is reported
here today that important revelations may
be expected soon as a result of an investi-
cation that the corporations bureau of the
Department of Commerce and Labor is
making in the Pittsburg offices of the Penn
sylvania lines, and also the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie railroad. Special Agent H. D.
Brown is working in the auditors office of
the Pennsylvania lines offices. There is rea-
son to believe that the governments opera
tives are endeavoring to discover whether
discrimination has been made in oil tariffs
to the advantage of the Standard Oil Com
pany.
The inquiry into railroad rates, particu-
larly on oil, is said to have been ordered
by President Roosevelt, as a direct result
of the action taken by Attorney General
Hadley of Missouri, to prevent the oil trust
from doing business in that state.

IN THE MOROCCAN MATTERS
Negotiations Have Now Reached q
Decisive Turn.
THE SITUATION AT ALGECIRAS
Dissolution of Conference without an
Agreement on Principal Subjects
of Discussion Now Probable.

BERLIN, February Io.-The
negotiations at Algeciras have
reached a decisive turn and the dis
solution of the Moroccan confer
ence without an agreement on the
principal subjects of discussion ap-
pears to be the probable result.
The positions of France and Ger
many have now been clearly dis
closed. Each country, supported
by several other powers, holds
tenaciously to its own principle of
settlement, namely, France for
special recognition in Morocco be-
cause of her geographical and his
torical relation to Morocco, and
Germany for a strict application of
the doctrine OF equal treatment of
all countries in the future of Mo-
rocco
Both the Paris and Berlin governments
exercised in Morocco, either through the
command of the semi-mlitary police or by
holding the Moroccan purse. France has
indicated that she might give up the police
administration, provided she We're allowed
a paramount position in the state bank or
ganization, which will represent Moroccos
foreign debts. largely held in France, and
which will control the sultan's future bor-
rowing.
Herr Won Radowitz and Count Won Tat
tenbach, the German delegates to the con-
ference, said Germany could not consent to
France having control OF the bank, as this
would simply be another way of turning
over the country to France. Then MN.
Revolt and Regnault, the French envoys,
two days ago dropped the bank question
and raised that of the police. upon which
Germany also insisted upon the equal par
ticipation in some form of all the powers
giving a modified acceptance.
There the discussion rests. In the mean
time press campaigns have begun in both
France and Germany in support of their re-
spectiye positions
A Political Crime.
The crime beyond doubt was political.
Chouknin had dong been a marked man on
account of his activity commander of the
Black sea fleet in repressing disorders.
When the sentences imposed on the sailors
for participation In the Odessa mutiny
were before him for review formal notice
was served on Chouknin to the effect that
If he approved the death sentence he would
share the same fate. Intimatons that the
terrorists were merely waiting for a favor
able opportunity to kill him have reached
the admiral several times since.
The hand of the terrorists is now raised
against all classes of off1cialdom, military
and civil, which called upon to curb
the revolutionary movement. Various
manifestations have taken place in the last
three months and number of officials have
been killed on account of their prominence
in subduing the agrarian uprising.
