CHANCE FOR DENVER.
Bill for Federal Building Passed by
Senate.

Washington-The Senate Tuesday
passed the Teller bill appropriating
S2,500,00O for n federal building at
Denver, which was called up by Sen
ator Patterson by unanimous consent.
The chances for the passage of the bill
in the House are remote, but there is
slight possibility of ultimate success
of the measure should there be an ON
nibus building bill passed at this ses-
sion of Congress.
1t is stated that the purpose OF The
House building committee is to report
an omnibus bill carrying not more
than an aggregate of $4,000, 900 and to
include no single item of more than
100000, which would eliminate Den.
YER Shoulc the bill pass the House
1t would undoubtedly be amended in
the Senate and many buildings added
which would be omitted in the House
bill.
An opportunity would thus be given
to include Denver, which would not be
overlooked by its friends and there
would be fighting chance 10 get the
amount carried in the bill which
passed Tuesday added to the omnibus
bill with view to holding it in con-
ference and securing its retention
when final action should be reached.
While the House buildings commit
tee and postmaster general are advo-
eating independent postofiice buildings
for cities of the class of Denver at a
cost not to exceed 100000, this plan
is not endorsed by the supervising
architect nor by the Senate commit.

that it is more economical for the gov

HABEAS CORPUS DENIED.
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone Must
Stand Trial.

Boise, Idaho-The Idaho Supreme
Court Monday Gcclued that Mover,
Haywood and PCtIlbonc must stand
trial in the Idaho counts for the mur-
der OF Ex-Governor SteunenburS and
that the question OF how they were eX-
tradted was imnaterial. in deciding
the motion to strike out the portions of
the answer dealing with the manner of
bringing the prisoners from Colorado.
Chief Justice Stocl3iaGer said:
This court is of the opinion that
whore the prisoners arc within the
jurisdiction of the demanding state
and are there applying TO its courts
for relief, they cannot raise the
question as to wLsther or not, as
matter of fact, they are refugees from
justice within the meaning OF the fed
eral constitution and the act OF Con-
gress hereunder.
"A careful and diliSent examination
Of the many authorities upon this sub
jcct and the reasons that exist for in
voking the aid of the writ in such
cases, convinces us that the question
as to whether or not a citizen is a refu-
gee from Justice, is one that can only
be available 10 him so long as he is be-
yond the jurisdiction of the state
against whose laws he is alleged to
have traDsSreSScd.
TT is a remedy which does not go to
the merits of the case and does not in
volve the inquiry as to whether or not
he is in fact guilty OF innocent of the
ofense charged. II is a remedy that
merely goes to the question of his re-
moval from the jurisdiction in which
he is found to the jurisdiction against
whose laws he is charged with offend
ing.
"If these views are correct, and We
believe they are, it follows that 50 soon
as the prisoner is within the iurisdic-
ton of the demanding state, both the
reason and object for invoking this
principle in law have ceased and can
no longer have any application"
Attorney Richardson saved an ex-
ception to the ruling and Judgment of
the court and gave notice that an ap-
peal on writ of error would be taken
to the United States Supreme Court.

BEHRING STRAIT TUNNEL.
Scheme for All Rail Route from Amer.
ica to Europe.

ST. Petersburg more favorable
attitude is being taken here toward
the dazzling scheme for tunnel un-
der Behring strait and an all-rail route
from the United States to Europe.
Baron Loicq De Lobel, representing
the American Trans-Alaslian Siberian
company, is again pressing the project
vigorously, and has made considerable
progress toward securing desired
concession from Russia.
A distinct party of the government,
which has TIE sympathy of Premier
Witte, earnestly favors closer CONNER
cial relations between the United
States and Russia, and this project ap-
peals to it, not only as method for
accomplishing this end, but for devel-
oping the resources of Siberia.
The company, which believes the Si-
berian side is as rich in gold as the
Alaskan side, offers to construct the
tunnel and build road 5000 miles in
length from East Cape to kansh, in
the government of Yeniseisk, whore it
will join the Siberian railway, on con.
dition that alternate sections of eight
miles on either side of the line, to-
gether with the mining concessions
covered, be granted the company.
Reports concerning the engineering
difficulties and the financial responsi-
bility of the promoters, etc, have
been submitted and were generally fav-
orably received By the ministers.
Emperor Nicholas has created a
mixed commission before which Baron
De Lobel will make final argument
March 18th and ask for eighteen months
in which to complete ARRANGEMENTS and
ten years to finish the road.

hand and Charles Mum, and the law
yers for the Independent oil producers,

TO get from Mayer an admission that
there was any connection between the
Standard Oil Company, the Union

Company, the Water-Pierce Oil Com
pany and other companies. To all
questions Mr.. Mayer answered:

been manager of the Standard Oil

manded by the commissioner.

souri, was notified by an attorney for
the Standard Oil Company that the
only testimony given in the Missouri
inquiry by officers of the Standard will
De given under compulsion.
Mr.. Cockrell had asked Mayer:
Tell this commission. are the Re
public company and the Waters Pierce
Oil Company part of the Standard Oil
Company"
Il do not know, sir"
What is your best impression about
IT,
Il have none"
Don't you feel and know in your
heart that they are all part and parcel
of the same company"
Il do not know"
Don't you feel in your heart it is
so?"
Il don't know, sir"
Then the veteran senator slapped the
desk with his fist and said. severely:
Il am tired and sick of this effort
made by Standard Oil people to con,
ceal this fact when every man. woman
and child knows it is so. Now every
body wants the truth told here, and
why don't you tell it? Every tub
ought to stand Oh its own bottom and
YOU folks ought not to dodge this ques.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Any person may send any biblical ques-
ton to DR.. Gilbert, 1903 r street. this city,
and receive answer in The Star.
154-What is the meaning of the word
grace?
Answer-Primarily 1t signifies favor, the
good will Of God which He shows toward
men. But this favor Is more than dispo-
sition, 1t Is an active quality that prompts
to the bestowment Of a blessing. Hence,
grace Is sometimes used to denote the help
which God renders to men.
Inflow are Paul and James to be recon-
ciled? The one says salvation is by faith,
the other that 1t Is by works.
Answer-Paul deals with the inception OF
the spiritual life and James with its fruit
age. BY faith men receive the renewing
power that makes them children of God.
BY works they show that this power has
accomplished it's purpose, that they are
children Of God. Men are justified by faith,
but faith is justified by works.
156-What is the meaning of the passage,
Mark WHIPS?
Answer-The Jews counted themselves
children Of God and called all others dogs.
Jesus, who at that time came only to Jews
(Matt., xv:24), intended to teach that it was
not proper for Him to turn aside from the
specific work of His ministry to serve a
Syraphenician who was a heather. It was
not in harmony with His plan, although He
did grant her request, as an act Of special
favor, for which she ought to have been
thankful.

filled to its utmost capacity of $500, and
still no part OF the grounds was deserted.
At times there were about 10000 visitors.
Arts and crafts, from bookbinding or
china decorating to carpentry or forging,
have had a great revival throughout the
country during the past few years, Mr.. AL
len says Chautauqua is doing Its part to
further this healthy interest in the doing Of

and with the lively air that belongs to its
altitude of 400 feet, the place could not

Lavender.
q, :, ~ - > :
From the London Chronicle.

Lavender spreads not only a perfume. but
delightful sound Through the London
streets at this season. OF street noises
we have complaints enough; but every
year comes the last lingering echo Of the
musical street cry, SO welcome amid the
boots Of motors and the shrieks of news
boys announcing "Winnah" One wonders
how the tradition of the Sweet Lavender"
refrain survives in the minds Of women
who for many months in the year must
have been hawkipng boot taces or other less
gracious things. There is a curious pathos
in the long drawn cry from those who
assist only at the burial Of Sweet
Lavender"
But In one aspect the song has it's
fiscal importance. Tradition has fixed the
price; the street drawl sets its seal there
on. Sixteen branches a penny is the
last line. And those sixteen branches at
a penny stand on our desk as we write.
as their ancestors stood on many other
desks. No one has fixed the price of
roses-though many poets have appraised
them-no one has fixed the price Of wheat
or mutton chops. But some forgotten
poet has fixed the price Of lavender, and
making the nations song has made the
nations law.
