THE ALLISON AMENDMENT.
Roosevelt Says, in Telegram, that it
Strengthens Hepburn Bill.

President Roosevelt has reiterated
his views on railroad rate legislation
in telegram sent to the Legislative
committee of the Pennsylvania State
Grange The telegram follows:
Washington, May 6.
wv. F. Hill and M smbers Legislative
Committee, Pennsylvania State
Grange:.
Telegram received. / am happy
to tell you that not only am stand
ing on my original position as regards
rate legislation, but it seems likely
that Congress will take this position,
too. The Hepburn bill meets my
views, rs l have from the beginning
stated. The Allison amendment is
only declaratory of what the Hepburn
bill must mean, supposing it to be
constitutional, and no genuine friend
Of the bill can object to it without
stultifying himself In addition,
should be glad to get certain amend
ments, such as those commonly
known as the Long and Overman
amendments, but they are not vital,
and even without them the Hepburn
bill with the Allison amendment con-
tains practically exactly what | have
both originally and always asked for,
and II enacted into law it will repre-
sent the longest step ever taken in
the direction of solving the railway
rate problem.

Roosevelt's Broad Views.

An Italian writer finds the secret
of President Roosevelt's power in
the fact that he alone among the pub
lie men of his nation knows his coun-
try as whole. His whole life, his
books, his speeches, his actions show
that he possesses this broad knowl-
edge and by his intense patriotism
has fused it into a conception of the
United States as a unit which he
alone seems capable of grasping This
ample and inspired vision of country
so immensely varied as the United
States gives him wisdom in sug-
costing and directing measures fol
the common veal that is unequaled
by any of his colleagues in the work
of government
The Italian Us right. One senator
may see the railroads interests alone
another those of the Standard Oil
the sugar trust, the shipping inter
ests, the North, the South, the Easi
or the West; one may be unduly inn
pressed with the laboring man:
rights or wrongs, and another with
those of the capitalist; to one the
farmers, to another the manufacture
ers, and to another the miners or tn,
mine owners may seem more worth,
of attention, but President Roosevelt
perceives that the good of the whole
country demands equal opportunit,
for all and special favors to none. HI
views all interests as one united
whole.-South Bend Times.

He Will Strike Hard.

In employing Frank s. Monnet, OF
Ohio, an implacable foe of the Stand
ard Oil octopus, to prosecute that de-
hant violator of the law, President
Roosevelt has revealed his intense
purpose to leave nothing undone to
vrndicate justice and the majesty OF
the law. Monnet has for years fought
the octopus. to his personal and f.
nancial detriment. At last the hour
OF vindication and satisfaction has
come to him. AS a representative oil

Gives Divorce Decision.

After hearing the evidence in the
divorce case of Maggie Moorman
against Clarence Norman, Judge ]
l.. AleMasters of the Indianapolis SUI
perior court No. 1, held that the re-
cent decision of the United States
supreme court that a court acting un-
der state authority has no power to
grant a divorce in case where the
defendant is not a resident of the
state is not binding in Indiana pro-
viding the persons were married in
Indiana.
The court made the ruling, he stat
ed, on the belief that the Indiana law
recognizes such DEGREES as legal and
makes it not only the power but the
duty of the judges of this state to
grant divorces even though the de-
PENDANTS are non-residents and in
case the facts are sufficient.

Better Recognize Chinese Rights.

The more or less minatory talk said
to be current among diplomats in
Washing on regarding the decision oil
the Chinese government not TO permit
foreigners to acquire more land in
China shows persistent disposition
to treat China as something less than
a sovereign power
Every independent nation has a
right to deny aliens the privilege OF
acquiring land within its territorial
jurisdiction 1t may concede the
privilege by treaty or not as it may
see fit.
China has special reason to with
draw this privilege because foreign
powers have asserted sovereign rights
IN China in consequence of the &C
QUESTION by themselves or their sub
jects of title to land in that country
China might properly discriminate
between persons and governments in
this respect, permitting the former
but not the latter to acquire and hold
land. But since other governments
have not Disseminated in this respect
as to lands in China the Chinese gov
eminent may properly and, indeed
wisely refuse to permit foreign per-
sons as we'll as foreign states to ac-
quire land within its jurisdiction.
Its decision in tbs matter is not
surprising. 1t is ouly an added evil
dence that the Chinese government
has become convinced that it is able
to defend itself, or at least that it is
worth while to assert the sovereign
rights of the nation and try to de
fend them.
1t may also be accepted as an evil
dence that China has some reason to
expect effective support in her resell
ution to assert her purpose to defend
her territorial integrity and to de
mand from other countries the cor
sideration due to an Independent
power.
If that consideration is readily ano
cheerfully accorded there is reason to
believe that hostility to foreigner:
will die out in China and that facili-
ties for trade with her people will be
more freely extended heretofore and
that this trade will be greatly devel-
oped. 1t is to be observed that the
objection now made is not to the es-
Establishment of consulates, the opening
of ports and the extension OF trade
but only to the acquisition of land ii

The physicians report most re-

worn and thin. the shadow of his for

that he is suffering from tuberculosis,
of which, indeed he had all symptoms
The patient was finally examined by
DR.. Mantel, who looked down his
throat and saw what looked TO be a
tumor at the back of the pharynx 1t
was nearly as large as the thumb of
a mans hand. The doctor washed
the supposed tumor With water in
which boric acid was put and sent the
patient away until the following NOR

his throat and saw clearly that the
tumor was sull grown brown leech.
The horrible Dloodsucker was, as the
doctor says. bloated after meal Dr.
Mantel carefully removed the leech
with an instrument and the thing has
been preserved in spirits
A few days after the operation the
man became quite cured and is now
himself again. He believes he drank
the water containing the leech in an
inn near the ruins of Ed Diem. The
water was so bad that he had to mix
coffee with it. Dr. Mantel notes that
this is the only case of the kind to
come under his own observation, but

Mount Washington is Sold.

Lancaster, N. H., May 7.-Seventy
thousand acres of timber land, includ-
ing Mount Washington, the most ia
nous peak of the White mountains,
were transferred today by Robert Os-
good to the Garland Cobb & Stahl
Company, a numbering concern. The
consideration was about $75O,000
Mount Webster also is included in the
area, which lies in Coos and Carroll
county. Mr.. Osgood bought the land
last July under a mortgage sale in
the settlement of the affairs of the
Bartlett Lumber Company. Whether
the new owners will cut over the tract
is uncertain. They are New Hamp-
shire business men, who are known
to be interested in forest preservation
and the opinion obtains that their pur-
pose is to secure this tract as the
neucleus of a White Mountain reser-
walton.

The Indiana farmer is feeling pref
~ well satisfied these days, thank you
He smiles broadly at the statement of
his Chicago cousin of the lead pen
Gil species that drouth and hot winds
will cut his corn crop in two. this
year; he shakes his head when some
one yells: Look out for the Hessian
hy' and laughs knowing laugh when
he hears that the seventeen year To-
Gusts are coming to make him a visit
this year
There are two very good reasons
why he should be at peace with him
self and all the world. In the first
place, his bins were filled SO full last
year that he could get along very we'll
if he didn't turn his hand over this
year In the second place, he believes
and, as a general thing his conclu-
sions rest on very substantial foun-
dation, that he is going to do even
better in his partnership with Old
otMher Earth this year than he did
last.
There never was a time when agri-
cultural conditions and prospects in
Indiana were better than they are at
this moment. The wheat acreage, de-
Quoting that abandoned in the over
flowed river bottoms, is larger than
last year; it never looked better at
this season, and the danger from
Hesian fly is redced to a minimum as
the Indiana farmer has learned that
whit late seeding the Hesian fly is not
a destructive agent
The indications are that the corn
acreage will be larger than last year
The acreage of oats is large, but
slightly below that of last year. So
long as the agricultural conditions of
Indiana, or the country are as bright
as they are this spring, there is lit
tie cause for worry on the part of
the urban population.

OF all the vast mineral wealth of
Mexico, the most valuable is a bed
of coal that les on both sides of the
Rio Grande near Eagle Pass. 1t is
about ninety miles wide and extends
from Spofford Junction, Texas, to Sa-
zinas, Mexico. This is the only coal
in the republic so far as known. The
miners are getting out about 5000
tons day, for that is all the railway
can handle. AS soon as enough roll
ing-stock can be obtained, the output
will be doubled There is a mountain
of solid iron on the outskirts of this
city valued at $4,000, 100000. but no.
body seems to want it, and the owners
couldn't sell it for half that money.
think they would be willing to mark
down the mountain to % per cent of
their first price, but the coal is in
great demand because it is more use
full. Mexico is short of fuel The
miners have burned up all the forests
within their reach and distances are
so great that imported coal is too ex-
pensive to use for common purposes.
There must be more coal somewhere
in Mexico, but the prospectors have
looked in vain thus far.
This coal on the Rio Grande was
discovered in 1884, and Mr.. c. p.
Huntington, who was then building
the International Railroad to connect
Durango with the Southern Pacific
the La Soledad ranch containing 26o,-
600 acres of land, which is nearly all
underlaid by veins of coal FIVE feet
thick. The land still belongs to the
railroad company which was included
in the merger of the National Lines
and is now controlled by the govern
naent of Mexico.

Solving the Servant Problem.

A Boston woman of wealth and
standing opened her parlors for re-
cepsion to the friends of her cook
after the latter's church wedding,
and row she can have her choice of
the best cooks in town to take the
brides place. A New York woman
recen ly advanced the theory that SER
waits should be allowed to receive
their visitors in the parlor on at least
one or two evenings in the week,
and that this would solve the servant
problem. The Boston lady's exper-
fence tends to confirm this theory

GERMAN TOWNSHIP TRAGEDY
Oliver Cline's Barn Burned and Por
ton of Mans Body Found in
Ashes.

Shortly after four o'clock Monday
morning, the barn of Oliver Cline, as
SCISSOR of German township, was seen
on fire, and the flames had made such
Roadway that the barn and almost
the entire contents were destroyed.
Three horses, COW, some hogs, all
grain and hay, farm machinery, two
buggies, harness and many other
articles were destroyed.
But the worst of all, the charred
hip of human body was found in
the basement, the remainder of the
body being so completely destroyed
that no portion of it could be recog-
nized There was no evidence by
which Coroner Stephens could identi-
| fly the remains and he had to call il
the remains of person unknown.
There seems little doubt, however
that the body of the man burned in
the barn was that of Harry Reed OF
Bremen, Mr. Cline's brother-in-law
because the blade of a razor and the
metal handle of a knife, bot, identi-
fed as belonging to Harry Reid, were
found in the ashes in the basement OF
the burned building and the razor is
missing from the place where it was
kept at Reeds home.
Mr. Reed had been in poor health
for year and it is said that he be-
lieved that in the settlement of anses-
tate Mr.. Cline got larger share than
he ought to have had and the theory
is that being sick he probably in an
hour of temporary insanity fired the
barn and then went into the basement
and cut his throat with the razor
Reeds wife awoke about four o.
clock and found that he was not ir
bed. She does not know when lie left
the house, but he has not been seer
since that time.
The loss on the barn and contents
will reach $4,000 Mr.. Cline had S70C
insurance on the barn and about $500
on the horses. His loss will be $1,000

Against Northern Cotton spinners

The cotton planters of the south

ference at Washington tuesday, dur
ing which the southerners announced
that the cotton gamblers or speculat-
ors and all middlemen must be exclud-
ed from the trade in the future. Il
is tn, first time that spinners and
growers have met face to face, ant
the latter declared that they would
lock the crop in southern warehouse
with a southern key, financed by
southern money, rather than put NJ
any longer with the demands dictated
by half dozen cotton gamblers anc
spectators in New York

1905 places the crop at 10,725,6 60:
bales. This is slightly above the sey
en-year average, but considerable,
smaller than that of the preceding
