On the death of his father, at Mobile,

which services we were each to receive

At 13 years of age he was the chief

HE IS THE TALLEST SOLDIER.

Lieutenant in Kaiser's Bodyguard IL
over Seven Feet Tall.
Undoubtedly the tallest soldier In the
world Is Josef Handel, who has recent
ly been made a lieutenant In the Kali
sers famous bodyguard. During the
past year and before he became a SOL
dier he was exhibited under the simple
name Of "der lange JOSEF in the Berlin
Panopjtikon and other places Of inter-
est In the large cities of Germany as
the tallest youth on earth, distinction
to which he Is easily entitled, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Handel Is not 22 years old, yet he
stands feet 8 inches in his stockings.
Though he was earning a big salary he
did not hesitate q moment when the
Kaiser called him to his bodyguard in
Potsdam. He would never have been
given the honor If the Kaiser's physi-
clans had not pronounced him perfect
ly proportioned physically and Of sound
health. A remarkable fact Is that Han
del's parents, who live In Leipzig are
people Of ordinary size, as are also his
brothers and sisters, of whom there
are seven. Handel makes a pictur-
esque figure in his guard uniform and
the high helmet makes him look a veri-
table Goliath. Frederick the Great
would have given his best pipe to have
added such a giant to his guard Of tall
soldiers

Federation Officials Are Charged witt

Caldwell, Idaho, March Ut took
an evening session of the grand jury
which has been hearing the evidence
against Charles Meyer, president of the
Wstern Federation of Miners, William
Haywood, secretary; George Pettibone,
a member of the executive board; Jack
Simpkins, a member of the association
Harry Orchard and Steve Adams, be-
fore indictments were returned against
them for the assassination of ex-Gov-
ernor Steunenberg.
While not a member of the prosecu-
tion will give reason for the failure of
the indictment of st. John, it is under
stood all along that the state had little
direct information against St. John.
Just why he was arrested the prosecu-
tion has never seen fit to make public.
1t was rumored that his arrest was
made at the request of the Mineowners'
association, because they considered
him dangerous man.
st. Johns reputation as an organizer
makes his name to conjure with in
Colorado, and in fact wherever a min
ers' union exists. The story goes that
the mineowners wanted to get Simpkins
out OF the country and were only too

Now that the indictments have been

sheriffs left here tonight for Boise indi.

MONEY IS VOTED
FOR RIVER JETTY
Senate Passes FuItOn'S Bill Without
Word of Opposition.
Awaits House Committee - Struggle
for Columbia River Will Come in
Houee to Avoid Loading Bill with
Other River and Harbor Projects,
Which Would Kill 1t.

Washington, March 10. = Senator
Fulton's bill appropriating $4O0,O 900
for the Columbia river jetty went
through the senate yesterday without
the slightest objection. Soon after the
senate convened Mr.. Fulton asked for
consideration of the bill. 1t was read
and passed without a word of opposi-
tion.
When the house rivers and harbors
committee returns from the South Mr..
Fulton's bill will be laid before it, and
it will then be decided whether to press
this bill individually or wait and sup
port bis amendment to the sundry civil
bill. II it shall become apparent that
there is no possibility of passing the
individual bill through the house, then
every effort will be centered on induc-
ing the house to retain the amendment
to the sundry civil bill.
There is danger, heretofore pointed
out by Chairman Burton, that any in
dividual bill making an appropriation
for the Columbia river is apt to be
added to by various members until it
becomes a general river and harbor
bill, but it is possible that some way
may be devised of preventing this. If
80, Mr.. Burton will have the senate
bill reported to the house, for he is
earnestly supporting Mr.. Fulton in tEis
matter and will do everything possible
to get the appropriation through.

supply at Fort Davis is the only avail

Washington, March 7. - The issues
involved in the controversy over the
pending railroad rate bill were squarely
presented to the senate today in the
speech Of Clapp, one of the Republi-
cans supporting the measure without
amendment, and by resultant remarks
from Bailey and Tillman, who are sup
posed to represent the views of the
Democrats.
Aldrich, Foraker, Crane and other
Republicans, who are seeking to amend
the bill 30 as to provide for judicial
review of orders OF the Interstate Com.

that the discussion of the situation
demonstrated that the friends of the

senators by direct vote of the people.
This is the second time this session he

Test Vote on PHILIPPINES.

Washington, March 6. - Senator
Lodge, chairman of the committee on
Philippines, has decided to make mo-
ton that the senate discharge the COM
mittee from further consideration OF
the tariff bill and it be taken up for
consideration. Under the rules Q mo.
ton of this character is debatable. The
senator proposes to make an argument
in favor of the bill and ask that action
be taken by the senate concerning it.
He does not intend, however, to preci.
pate a continuation until after the
statehood bill has been disposed of.

EDICT AGAINST AGlTATORS.
Alarmed by War Preparations, China
Orders Foreigners Protected.

Orders Foreigners Protected.
Pekin, March 1.-The Chinese gov
ernment is greatly perturbed by the re.
ports of anti foreign movements printed
in the American and European papers
and particularly by dispatches announc-
ing preparations for military expedi-
tion in case of need. These reports, it
is alleged, tend to embarrass the foreign
ministers and create strained relations
between them and the officials here.
A long edict published in the Official
Gazette today, after referring to the
warlike reports, declares they are cir
culated by traitors who wish to sepa.
rate China from her friends. The
edict points out the great difficulties
which confront China at present, and
the strong need for maintaining friend
ly relations with the powers. 1t re-
proves the Chinese students for med
ding with politics and charges the off.
cials, high and low, thoroughly to pro-
teot the lives and property of foreign.
ers, specifying the missions, under pain
of the most severe punishment.

BRITAIN CLAIMs:RECIPROCITY.
Wants Same Favored Nation Treat
ment as Other Nations.

London, March . Communications
have passed between Great Britain and
the United States respecting the for
mer's contention that she should par.
ticipate III the privileges granted to
other nations under the Dingley act, in
return for the reciprocal concessions
which Great Britain has obtained on
similar representations to other coun-
tries granting the most favored nation
treatment. Great Britain also takes the
ground that, having no tariff, she, of
all countries, should be favorably
treated commercially. 1t was stated
in the house today that negotiations on
this point had been opened with Amer.
ica. This is incorrect. Thus far only
communications have passed.
The United States has no commercial
arrangement with Great Britain as with
other countries, by which the presi-
dent is enabled to extend the benefits
of certain concessions in matters affect.
