The property loss was great. three

ing burned and three engines demol-
ished
Three Of the train crew were killed
and three others badly injured. The
passengers escaped without serious in
jury, save four. That a greater loss
of life did not result is solely due to
the fact that neither of the trains was

Beveridge in reporting the bill Mr..
Patterson, from the committee on ter
ritories, gave notice that there would
he q minc rity report.
The resolution Of Mr.. Tillman ask
ing the committee on immigration to
investigate the facts OF the Chinese
boycott OF American goods, was laid
before the senate. The preamble, which
alleged that Wu Ting Fang. former
chinese minister to the United States,
had been leader in the movement,
was objected to by Mr.. Teller Mr..
Lodge and Mr.. Warren. The latter SEN
ator said Wu Ting Fang had ex-
pressly denied the charge In CONVERSE
tion with the senator when he was In
China Inst summer.
Mr.. Tiliman read from the presl-
dents me ssage on the harshness of
the exclusion laws. Mr. Dubois said
he would vote for the resolution, but
thought on investigation would not
show that the exclusion laws had been
too rigldly enforced. He said the boy
colt was confined almost wholly to the
Canton district, which the Taft party,
Of which he was q member, were
warned not to visit. A few of the party
learned he said, that the Japanese
were back of the boycott for the rea-
son that WREN American traders leave
the Japanese take their places. All tne
guilds in the Cantonese district, said
Mr.. Dubois, are back of the boycott
because cf the effort to keep coolies
out Of the United states. The coolies
now here are from that district, he
said.
Both Mr.. Dubois and Mr.. Teller de-
clared that the students and merchants
were not back of the boycott and that
It originated with persons interested
in getting coolie labor into this coun-
try. Mr.. Dubois referred to the situa-
tion and the demand for Cinnamon to
supplant negro labor, which remark
provoked disclaimers from Mr.. Clay
and Mr.. Tillman. The latter said the
south had conditions bad enough now
without further mixing them up.
Mr. Tillman struck out all the por-
tions Of the preamble of the resolution
to which objection had been made, thus
modifying it so as to merely order an
investigation. The resolution was then
referred to the committee on contin-
gent expenses.
Mr. Hepburn then addressed the sem
ate in support of his bill to compen-
safe states for school lands taken pos
session of by the national government
for forest reserve purposes.
The senate, after an executive ses-
sion, adjourned at 5:47.

NO CRITICISM OF
PACIFIC MAIL
SECRETARY TAFT RETRACTs
HIS STATEMENTS
Says He Has Been Mlsled a. to 5usl-
ness Of campany at Central
American and Mexican
Ports
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.--Secretary
Taft today addressed the following let
ter to Representative Littauer of the
house committee on appropriations:
TN my testimony before the sub
committee on deficiencies of the appro-
priations committee Of the house,
made the statement that one OF the
reasons why another American line
could not easily compete with the
Pacific Mail line In the business be-
tween Panama and San Francisco and
intermediate ports, was that the Pacific
Mail company had agents at the Cen
trail American and Mexican ports and
did in n sense banking business,
furnishing capital to coffee and other
planters to assist them in doing their
business, and this gave them the good
will and a position of advantage which
any other line would find great diff
Guilty in wrestling from them. Though
did not intend to criticize the Pacific
Mail for this method of business, It
has been so construed in some of the
newspapers of the western coast.
"I now have definite information that
have been misled In respect to the
business of the Pacific Mail at Central
American and Mexican ports, and they
do not do either a factor or banking
business at any of these ports, and
never have. 1 am glad to withdraw
been used to the prejudice of the
Pacific Mail line"
The above letter was written after a
conference on its subject matter be-
tween Secretary Taft and Mr.. Schwerin
OF the Pacific Mail company.

CHINESE AND FORESTS
These Two Subjects Occupy Atten-
tion of the Senate
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 29.-The
Chinese boycott and the administration
of the forest reserves divided the at
tention of the senate today. The
Chinese question came up in connec-
tion with resolution by Mr.. Tillman
directing an investigation by the COM
mittee on immigration. Mr.. Tillman
modified the resolution by omitting the
major portion of the preamble, and
after considerable discussion the reso-
luton was referred to the committee on
contingent expenses.
Mr.. Hepburn raised the question re-
Raroing the reservation for forests.
He sharply criticised the methods of
the forestry bureau and charged it
with maintaining press bureau for
the purpose of attacking him. He de-
clined. however, to hold the president
responsible for this course. He said
that the course was calculated to re-
tard the development of the west. Mr..
Dubois took a contrary view, defend
Ing the policy pursued and contending
that It was in the interest of the arid
region.
The house statehood bill was report
ed favorably to the senate today by
Mr.. Beveridge, chairman of the com
mittee on territories, by whom the
bill had been under consideration in
committee for three days.

year OF the existence Of the public
library and is a statement Of affairs up
to January !, 1906.
During October, 1904, 71,S74 books
were issued, during the month of Octo-

In December OF 1904 62,569 books were
issued and in the corresponding month
of the next year 62,5S9 books were
issued, a gain of twenty. This shows
the net gain as 5000, or an average of
1900 a month.
The contract for the printing of the
library bulletin was transferred from
A. G.. Thurston who has been printing
them for SIS month, to w. B. Mosely,
who offered to print them for nothing.
The apportionment which the library
receives from the board of education is
$199S.50.
Pages to climb the ladders which are
necessary to gain access to many Of
the books were hired by Lummis, as
he states that it Is not work which the
girls should be expected to do. One Of
the young women employed by the
library recently sustained severe in
juries which she incurred in fall from
a ladder in the library.
The Boyle Heights branch library is
now permanently located. The quar-
ters were finished few days ago.

House Asks information Regarding
Alleged Illegal Agreement
BY Associated Pres


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-what is
considered a blow struck at the rail-
roads was taken by the house today in
the adoption Of a resolution calling on
the president to furnish information as
to the existence of an alleged agree
ment in violation Of the interstate COM
merce law between the Pennsylvania,
Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk &, Western,
Chesapeake & Ohio, Northern Central
& Philadelphia, Baltimore & Washing
ton Railroad companies. Opposition to
the resolution did not develop until
after it had been declared adopted by
the speaker.
At this point Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vanla moved against 1t with a motion
to reconsider. The motion was laid on
the table with the aid of thirty-seven
Republican votes united with the DEM
ocrats, which makes 1t impossible to
reconsider the resolution without a
two-thirds vote of the house.
The house gave its unanimous con-
sent to begin tomorrow the considera-
ton of the Hepburn railroad rate bill
and continue with the same until the
bill shall be disposed Of
A tribute to the memory of General
Joseph Wheeler was paid by the
amendment of bill under considera-
tfon so as to name one of the streets

ing this action Mr.. Sherman of New
York spoke words of praise of the
memory of the dead general. The house
at 5:O4 o'clock adjourned until tomor-
row at noon.
