Prof Dr. Moritz Steinschneider, the
greatest living master Of almost every
Oriental language and literature, will
celebrate on the 3Oth, his ninetieth
birthday. Some idea Of the great schol
ar's prodigious industry may be formed
from the fact that the mere catalogue OF
the essays treatises, brochures, and
books he has written constitutes stately
volume. His catalogue and critical ex-
cerpt Of the Oriental manuscripts Of the
Bodleian library, Of the library in Ham
burg, Of the university libraries Of Ley
den, Munich, Berlin, and other places,
are only small part Of the work he has
achieved, and still the veteran is busy
day by day adding to the vast store with
which he has already enriched the intel
lectual wealth Of the world 1t is con-
templated to present Professor Stein
schneider on his birthday with special
reproduction Of all his contributions to
periodicals on Oriental literature. What
other honors the grand old man cares for,
or is likely to accept will, no doubt, be
bestowed on him.

FULTON NOT WORRIED
SaySCOllier's Article Is Filled
with FalsehOOd.
ADMITS SIGNING THE LETTER
Not True that He OfeFed 5000 for It's
Return, However, He Says-Gives
His Version Of Dismissal Of Hall
and appointment OF BristOI-Did
Not Recommend Hall for Position.

Senator Fulton, of oregon, declined yes
terday to make a formal statement re
garding the story from the number OF
Golfers Weekly bearing date of Deeem-
Der s, which was published In full in
The Washington Herald Of yesterday
morning. But he did go so far as to de-
clare that the article was "honeycombed
with faIsehood," and to comment on some
features Of il.
II am not worried at all about IT. he
said. II am charged with attempting 70
protect my friends l shall always do
that until they are shown to have been
doing wrong The story says that I en-
tered into a secret agreement with the
late Senator Mitchell and United States
Attorney Hall to procure his reappoint-
ment. in consideration OF which Hall
would protect two men from Indictment
and prosecution. The fact is that I never
recommended Halls appointment.
Mitchell and 1 could not agree as to
who should have the Office, but we did
not want Hall because he had already
served a term. While the matter was still
pending the President reappointed Hall
on the recommendation of Francis ].
Heney. the man specially selected by the
government TO prosecute the land-fraud
cases. That was done without any con-
suitation with US Later. also without
consultation with US. Hall was discharged,
and William c. Bristol was nominated.
1T is absurd TO say that my opposition
20 Bristol has been clandestine I formu-
lated my charges against him in a writ
ten letter now on file before the Senate
judiciary committee. Those charges were
investigated by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral RObb. who reported against Bristol.
The President overrOde the Department
of Justice and named Bristol again. I
am lighting him openly and above
board. because 1 don't think he Is fit for
the Office.
As for the letter which Is reproduced
to which my signature is attached. I have
no doubt that l signed it as l did a num-
Der of others written by Senator Mitchell
and at his request. l don't remember to
have ever read it until a copy Of 1t was
shown to me year ago by the President
There is nothing in the letter for me TO
be ashamed Of but the writer OF the
article has worked his imagination to
draw entirely unwarranted conclusions.
Certainly the statement that l ever
offered. through my brother or any one
else. 500 for the return OF the letter, is
absolutely false"

The Hartman consolidation of rail-

combination in restraint of trade, is to
be made the subject of an investigation
by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
in accordance with the decision JUST
reached.
An announcement to this effect will be
made at the Offices of the commission
Ia Washington the latter part of the
week
All that remains to be done in advance
eff the beginning Of the inquiry is for the
commission to determine along what
lines it shall proceed. and TO make Sc
lection of expert counsel to take charge
Of the work.
The final details Of the order that will
be issued in this connection will be com
pleted by tomorrow or Friday, and the
intentions of the Commission will then
be fully disclosed. At the same time.
the name Of special counsel engaged will
be given to the public.
The commission has under considera-
ton the names of several well-known
lawyers. who are believed to be capable
inquiring into the operations of the So
called Hartman line. Among these are
understood to be Francis J. Heney, of
California. who performed brilliant serv-
ices for Secretary Of the Interior Hitch

Securities was dissolved by a decree of
the United States Supreme Court as a

the commission has authority under the
Interstate Commerce act Ito inquire into

common carriers" and is further direct
ed TO keep itself informed as to the
manner and method" in which such
management is conducted
The commissions investigation of the
Northern Securities Company. a few
years ago. first revealed the evidence
upon which was based the proceedings in
stituted in the courts by the Attorney
General, resulting in the dissolution Of
that gigantic combination.
May Result in suit.
out of this Investigation may possibly
grow suit by the government to re-
strain the Hartman lines from operating
in restraint of trade
There is good reason to believe that
President Roosevelt is advised as TO the
intentions of the commission. It is known
that the evidence taken al Omaha in the

land frauds in Wyoming has been sub
mitted 10 him. and that he has expressed

Fast Mail Train Taken on.

on January ). The Southern admits its
Inability to comply with the terms Of its
agreement in the matter OF time sched-
ules
The Southern fast mail service cost the
government about $l50O00 a year. The
subsidy was bitterly fought in the House
last winter. and was carried by a ma-
jority Of only one
1t was predicted at that time that the
appropriation never again should run the
gauntlet In Congress. The contract had
until January !, 1907, TO run. butt the
Postmaster General decided to accomuno-
date the road and permit it TO relin-
quish IT,
The Southern officials explain that this
act is due to increas sed traffic and the
necessity for dOuble-tracking along its
lines. Special facility train No. 81 leaves
Washington each morning. and carries
mail for the entire South and Southwest.
IL IS probable that slower train will be

predecessor, $50 a. m II will arrive al
its destination in the South considerably
