Suicide Kept Alive.

CINCINNATI, April 7.-Physicians
kept Joseph H. Wilson alive for three
days after he had taken poison to end
his life. and thus prevented the &C

leather dealer, but suffered reverses
Because of his financial difficulties
his insurance lapsed March %, but was
then extended to April 1. Finding that
he was unable to pay, Wilson took
laudanum on Friday. He left letter

stances and directing what should be
done with the insurance money.
The doctors kept him alive until
yesterday, the day after the insurance
policy had expired.

REBATE SUIT LOST.
Government Fails to Convict Wealthy
Shippers in First Test Case.

PHILADELPHIA, April THE
governments first attempt to test the
strength of the present rebate laws
met with signal failure when jury
in the United States district court
rendered a verdict acquitting r. D.
Wood & Co, wealthy iron shippers of
this city. of the charge Of accepting
an unlawful refund on 1,5O0 tons of
iron pipe shipped from Camden, N. j.,
to Winnipeg.
At the opening of the days session,
Judge Holland had knocked the legs
from under the government by his
charge. and later on it took the jury
only twenty minutes to decide on a
verdict of mot guilty.
The Great Northern railway. the
Mutual Transit company. of Buffalo,
and their agents, were all implicated in
the case that was tried in the United
States district court and all are under
Indictment in connection with the
same offense.
1t is not probable that any of these
will be tried, since the failure in the
present proceedings has been so pro-
nounced. The district attorney has
announced there will be no attempt
to take up the cases before June, at
least.

81. Paul Road viii Call on This
State for Fir
WILL WANT BRIDGE MATERIAL As WELL
If THE MILLS CAN NOT SUPPLY,
NEW ONES WILL BE CON-
STRUGGLED.

Washington fir will be used in the
construction of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul from Chamberlain and
Evarts to the coast. Fir lumber will
be used for bridge materials and for
ties.
For more than ten years the st.
Paul road has been using Washington
fir for all bridge building work where
timbers were used. Complete tests
were made by the road and fir was
found to have a greater strength than
oak, hemlock, white pine or any other
available woods for railroad purposes.
The ST. Paul road has never used
fir as ties. Most Of the ties used on
the road are oak and hemlock. Aside
from the fact that fir has been expen-
Paul has had mills along it's own line
which it desired to patronize. With the
construction of the Coast extension
the road will haul it's own supplies
for much of the distance and can build
up mills in this new territory.
No estimate has been made of the
amount of Washington lumber prod
ucts that will be required in the build
ing of the line. President H. r. Will
Jams of the road said today in Seattle,
that most of the contracts would be
distributed among the mills in western
Washington, but it may be necessary
for the road to build some of it's own
tie camps and possibly to erect tenn
porary sawmills to get out special tim
bers.
Contractor H. C. Henry is now look
ing over the line preparatory to be-
ginning work, and as soon as he puts
out his construction crews there will
be an immediate requisition for ma
terials. If the Washington mills are
so crowded that they cannot get out
orders the railroad will have to see
to it that new plants are started. With
work inaugurated that will require
about five years to complete, the rail-
road will not take any chances with
a failure to get materials on time.

CRUISERS ARE TO VISIT NEW YORK
Navy Department Has Decided to Send
Armored Cruisers to Brooklyn
Navy Yard.

NEW YORK. April THE navy
department has decided to send the
armOred cruisers of the Atlantic fleet
to the navy yard at Brooklyn, in ac
cordance with the recommendations of
the board of construction. The first of
these vessels will appear here for an
overhauling about the end of this
month, and the others will reach the
yard at intervals of two weeks. The
orders are that work on each ship shall
thirty days, the idea being to have not
more than two Of the cruisers at
Brooklyn at the same time. Other ships
of the fleet will appear periodically at
Brooklyn and will be locked and re-
paired in some cases and merely gener-
ally overhauled in others, with a view
to more extensive repairs in the fall.
The exhaustion Of the fund for care
and preservation under the construc-
ton and engineering bureaus had its
effect on the volume Of work which is
planned for the Brooklyn yard, but the
bulk of repair work and most of the
docking will necessarily be done here,
although some will be done at Nor
folk

Chatting Under Defeat in Beef Trust
Cases-May Mean Shake.up.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April T.
Chatting under his defeat in the beef
trust cases at Chicago, Attorney Gen.
eral Moody has practically determined
to sever his connection with the ad-
ministration July 1.
This comes from an authoritative
source and there is revival of sto-
ries regarding a reorganization of
President Roosevelts cabinet.
1t was the intention of Attorney
General Moody to signalize his depart
ure in blaze of glory, which he had
confidently counted on as a result of
his prosecution of the packers. 1t is
reported he was anxious to follow in
the footsteps of Attorney General
knox, who fought to successful issue
the ..orthern Securities merger cases
and then assumed senatorial toga.
This signal failure of his most cher
isAed plan nettled Acknowledgement
Moody to such an extent that he has
turned a deaf ear to all entreaties
looking to his retention of a cabinet
portfolio after the close of the present
fiscal year.
Retirement of Mr.. Moody means an
other shake-up in the navy depart
ment, for it is generally understood
that Secretary Boneparte will surren-
der the naval portfolio to assume that
of the department of justice.

CANALS FOR GREAT BRITAIN
King Edward Has Appointed Com.
mission to Make Investigations
of Inland Navigation.

LONDON, April liking Edward
has appointed royal commission
headed by Lord Shuttleworth, to in
quire into the canals and inland navi-
CATION of the United KongdOm, and to
report what changes are desirable in
their extension and control.
The total length of British canals
according to the last official report,
is less than $4,000 miles, of which ag-
gergate considerably over One-fourth
is owned or controlled by railway COM
panies. The neglected condition of the
British inland waterways generally has
been the subject Of agitation for
many years, and as long ago as 1898
a joint parliamentary committee was
appointed which recorded an emphatic
opinion as to the necessity of sweeping
improvements if the system of water
ways, once the admiration of other
nations, was 10 pear us proper SHARE
in the work of international transport.
More recently the agitation has been
renewed and fostered by certain cham
bers of commerce, and last year the
Association of Chambers adopted a
resolution in favor of placing the
canals in the hands of public trust.
A bill with that object was then in
troduced, but suffered the fate of with
drawal upon a technical failure to
comply with standing orders.

THE TRANSFER OF DRY ToRTuGAs
Navy and Treasury Department Offic-
iais May Clash Over the Pro-
posed Change.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April T.
The abandonment of Dry Tortugas
as a naval coaling station will not be
made without opposition, although
Secretary Bonaparte is somewhat in
favor of the transfer of the reserva-
ton to the treasury department, by
which the place is desired for quaran-
tine purposes. The secretary holds
that there should be some considera-
ton in the transfer and that the navy
department should be compensated for
some of the outlay at the place, which
has amounted to some 100000. The
naval general board has urged that the
naval property at Dry Tortugas be
transferred to Guantanamo. The wis
dom of abandoning the coaling plant
at the former place is much questioned
in some quarters. notwithstanding the
point made by the general board that
it is difficult and costly to fortify.

eminent in time Of war by inviting the
enemy to attack and obtain the sup
ply of coal kept at the station. On
the other hand, it is maintained that it
IS necessary to keep a coaling station
1t the entrance of the gulf. and that
here should be liberal expenditure of
government funds in establishing tn.
defences, which will have to be built
It Guantanamo, if that place is con-
yerted into a base and supply station

interesting, and it is likely that before

are in favor of keeping Dry Tortugas

MR.. METCALF'S REPORT
HAD LONG CONFERENCE WITH
PRESIDENT AT WHITE HOUSE.
JAPS IN FRISCO SCHOOLS
The President Will Give the Report
Full Consideration Before
Taking Action.

Washington. Nov. 2S.-President
Roosevelt had a long conference with
Secretary Metcalf at the White House
regarding the alleged discrimination
against the japanese residents in San
Francisco. More than a month ago.
when the agitation affecting the al
legged discrimination against the Jap
anese in San Francisco was at its
height. the president sent Mr.. Metcalf
10 that city to make a thorough and
exhaustive investigation. with a view
to learning at first hand the exact con-
dition of affairs. II was charged that
the alleged discrimination consisted
among other things of denying the Jap
anese equal school privileges With the
whites, and that there had been
threats and overt acts against Jap
anese merchants.
The Report Is Ready.
Mr. Metcalf's report is now ready,
and has been considered very fully
by the president. The secretary has
uniformly declined to discuss with the
newspapers any OF the conclusions he
mas reacned, Dut IL has been generally
understood that it would show that the
people of San Francisco maintained
that what they had done in the mat
ter of school accommodations was en-
tirely within their rights. and that the
whole matter was one of local admin
istration.
Whether the president will make
Mr.. Metcalfs report public has not
been determined. He will give the
question full consideration before tax
ing any steps. He has expressed hope
that all cause for complaint on the
part of the Japanese be removed, and
has stated that he will do his utmost
to bring about a satisfactory settle
ment OF the whole matter

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving day is peculiar
ly American. 1t is American all
the way through-in spirit, and
in the chief item of the bill of
fare, the noble turkey. Origin
ally Thanksgiving was an agri-
cultural festival, and confined to
the locality in which it origInat-
ed. Today it is national, and ev-
cry man, woman and child should
give thanks for the bounteous
blessings received during the
past twelve months. 1t is not a
matter of creed nor matter of
faith, but a universal ground
upon which all can meet and par
ticipate, no matter what the form
of worship may be. There have
been few Thanksgiving days in
our American history where the
universal heart had more to in
spire it with gratitude than this
one which is upon us.
Let us, then, observe the day in
It's proper spirit, and show our
appreciation of the infinite good
things that the Author of all has
permitted us to enjoy.
