st. Petersburg. July 25.-An official
agency tonight authorized the follow
ing statement:
From the very first day of it's ex
istence the lower house of parliament
overstepped the limits of the law. In
reply to the speech from tie throne
modification of the fundamental law
was demanded in the suppression OF
the council of the empire and the
creation of responsible cabinet. BY
its agrarian program the house raised
hopes that could not be realized. In
speeches its members accused tine
government of organizing programs
and disorders. In the last moments
of its existence the house decided to
address a manifesto to the people
persuading them not to believe the
government regarding the agra-dap
question but to await a settlement by
parliament ALI of these causes neces
STATED the decision to dissolve the
house"

Express Clerk will Make Big Profit
With But Two Cents
Expense.
Has Option on Over Five Million
Dollars Worth.
EMPLOYEE OF AMERICAN Elk.
PRESS COMPANY HAD WALL
STREET ON the ANXIOUS SEAT
FOR SEVERAL DAYS - HAS
UNTIL AUGUST l. TO DISPOSE
OF BONDS AWARDED TO HIM.
BY Associated Press.

New York, July 25.-The identity OF
Samuel Byerley, the successful bidder
for 100000 of the new Panama ca.
nal per cent bonds, was learned yes
terday. Bylerley turns out to be a
clerk in the accounting department
of the American Express Company.
Ever since the bids for the bonds
were announced last Saturday Wall
street has been trying to learn some
thing about Mr. Byerley and has been
specializing as to the interest behind
his bid Byerley was not inclined to
answer any questions yesterday after
he had been located. The treasurer
of the American Express Company
said:
This is entirely a personal matter
with Mr.. Byerley, who IS one of our
clerks. There is absolutely nothing
in the rumor that he represents inter
ests in the company"
Byerley has almost taken the
breath away from SOME Of his fellow
clerks. He had host of callers yes
terday who wanted to know how he
could afford to bid for s5,S00,00O of
government bonds, but he had moth
ing to say.
The general opinion among those in
the American Express Company's Of
fee Is that Byerley is taking a little
flyer which has not cost him anything
more tangible so far than nerve. I'm
der the terms of the sale no money
need be put up until August l. Byerley
made four bids. For one million OF
the bonds he offered 104125, for the
second million 103.990, for the third
million 103.975 and for the next two
he offered 103.S67. The New
York syndicate that got one-half of
the $30,000,000 bonds put up price
on them yesterday of 104.40. 1t was
figured out by the bond experts yes.
terday that should Byerley sell his OPP.
ton at l04 he would clear $3.50 with.
out putting up a cent save for the
postage stamp which carried his bid
to Washington.
Byerley, it was learned yesterday,
was once a clerk in bank in Cali
fornia. His bid has aroused no end of
talk in Wall street, and there are
some bankers who have expressed the
opinion that there is a certain pay.
ment to be made when bids are filed,
as in the case of city bonds.
There was a report in Wall street
yesterday that Byerley was going to
sell his option. 1t was said that some
of the big houses were holding back
in the belief that they would get some
of his bonds eventually through his in.
ability to put up the cash on August 1.
Nevertheless, Wall street guesses that
the clerk will make good.
In 1896 Abram White, clerk in a
brokers' Office, on his own hook bid
for a big block of bonds, and made a
profit OF 100000. AS a result of his
bid a rule was made by the treasury
department that cash payment must
accompany all bids. This rule oh.
tanned until this last bond issue, when
it was either overlooked or suspend
ed.

Claims Men Hired in New York
Were Treated in Accordance
With Contract.
SAYS SOME TRIED TO
GET AWAY BEFORE LEAVING
NEW YORK AND "kEPT TRYING
TO ESCAPE" AFTER THEY
REACHED THE LUMBER CAMP
-REQUESTs AN INVESTIGATION

In answer to the complaints of In
humanity and cruelty at the camps Of
the Jackson Lumber Co.. at Florala,
which have been made by former en-
p!oyees, Manager W. S. Harlan has
addressed the following to The Jour
nal:
Lockkart, Ala, July "a, 1906.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Dear Sir:-I have carefully read
your two column article of Harrow
ing Tales of Inhumanity and Cruelty
to Foreigners" in our logging camps.
i am indeed surprised at a paper of
your standing, writing anything of
this kind, until you fully investigate
you want, but you had better satisfy
yourself and give the public a true
statement of your case.
We would respectfully ask that you
send some competent representative
to our plant and woods to investigate
for your own satisfaction, and see If
you find the matters as represented
by the irresponsible tramps that have
passed through your place, who do
not and would not work for any one,
if they had the opportunity.
All the men that hired to us in New
York, signed contracts, and fully I'M
derstood everything, and We are car
Tyin. out our part Of the contract to
the letter.
Some of the men who came were of
the no-account class who tried to get
away before they left New York,
merely working for the New York
agents SO that they would get their
employment fee. These men kept
trying to escape after they were here.
There has been fifteen or twenty out
of some two hundred that have left
us. We have detained no one against
their will or contract.
think the most satisfactory way
to get at the true inwardness of the
case is, for your representative to in
vestigate it fully.
From the reading of your article, If
1t would be circulated In the northern
papers, they would think that we were
in the "throes of reconstruction" days.
Inasmuch as we have from one
thousand to twelve hundred men IN
our employ, many of whom have been
with us for years, We work no con.
victs. Our scale of wages are as high
as any mills in this territory. The To-
cation and accommodation of our en-
ployees are as good as any mills in
the south. This ought to be sufficient
evidence that we are not the inhuman
wretches that your article pictures US.
Very respectfully,
w. S. HARLAN.

In This Territory Made Copper
Works a Necessity.
M. A. BAKER & co., OF BRUINS
WICK, GA, ONE OF THE MOST
PRNoMiN EMIT FIRMS IN THa
BUSINESS, PROMOTERS OF A
NEW NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
THE DISTRIBUTING POINT FOR
LARGE TERRITORY.

Within the next 30 days, Pensacola
will have another manufacturing es-
tablishment to her credit and one of
considerable importance.
The new concern Is a copper works
| for the manufacture of turpentine
stills, NJ. A. Baker e Co., of Bruins
wick, Ga, being the promoters and
lproprieters. The new industry will
be located at the corner of 10th
Avenue and Aragon street. where a
force of men is now engaged in get
ting the machinery installed and 1t is
the intention to have the plant in full
operation not later than Sept 1, next.
The plant will employ an average
of 80 men the year around and most
OF these men will be skilled mechan-
les. 1t is therefore easy to see that
the pay roll alone of the new in
dustry will constitute a matter of
some Importance in the business life
of the city.
A. H. Baker, member of the firm
of NJ. A Baker & Co., is now in Pen
sacola directing the work and he will
have charge of the business yhen it
is established. Mr.. Baker and his
brother, M. A. Baker, have for years
operated the largest plant of this
kind in the south, the Brunswick
Copper Works. They literally grew
up in the business, their father hav-
ing been in the same business before
them and they are known all over the
southern country, or wherever the tur.
pentine industry exists
The great development of the tur-
pentine industry in Pensacola's trade
territory has induced the Messrs.
Baker to establish plant here for the
purpose of supplying trade which
they have previously supplied from
Brunswick and which they expect to
extend to considerable proportions
from this point.
The establishment of this new in
dustry in Pensacola has a double
significance. 1t not only means that
much more business for the Deep
Water City. but it illustrates the fact
that Pensacola is the natural distri-
buting point for rich and rapidly
developing trade territory-a fact
which more than one shrewd business
man has long since recognized.
