PURDY TO PROBE AGAIN


/ Washington, Dec. 23.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt created sensation
by instructing Mr.. Purdy, assistant
attorney general, to 60 to Browns
vile, Texas and made an sxhaus
tive investigation OF the trouble
which resulted in the dismissal Of
negro troops.
Having dismissed the troops aud
sent message to congress giving
his reasons for so doing, 1t is re-
garded as somewhat strange that
the president would now send a re
preventative to Texas to make
another investigation.
The action of the president in
ordering an invests alton upon
something he has already 4 cided
makes il easier for the senate to
pass the Foraker resolution in
structing the military committee
to make an investigation also. The
opposition to the Foraker resolu.
ton was based upon the claim that
the president had already made the
investigation. and that another was
unnecessary.
Another event almost as sensa-
tional happened when the record Of
the Ohio regiment was given ou'
at the instigation of the president
indicating that he is ready to en-
gage in a controversy with Senator
Foraker, who is defending the Ohis
regiment.

ORDERS PULLMAN RATES CUT
The Texas Railroad Board Contends
Are Too High.

Austin, Tex. Dec. zz.--An or
der was issued by the state railroad
commissions today reducing the
Pullman fare in this state 40 per
cent. In making this reduction
the commission takes the position
that il has authority under the law
to assume jurisdiction over the af-
iair of sleeping cars. The Pull.
man company will resist the order
in the courts. 1t is said. According
to another report, the Pullman
company will withdraw its cars
from Texas. The order is effective
February 4.

Washington. Dec. 24.-Upon the
request Of large number Of Drug
gists and grocers Of Oklahoma.
Representative Mcclure called up
on the secretary Of agriculture to
find out about the enforcement Of
the pure food law. The druggists
aud grocers making inquiry say
that they have stock Of goods on

lutely understandable If they have
to comply With the law to the very
letter. They are unable to tell what
the goods aud patent drugs cons

Mr.. Mcclure was informed that

WAITlaG TO Be INVESTIGATED


Washington, Dec. 23.-Tams
Bixby commissioner to the Ave
civiizedtnbes, said tonight that
he spent three hours and a halt at
the interior department today, but
did not meet Attorney Marshall
Mott, attorney for the Greek ma
ton. wso preferred charges against
him. Mr.. Bixby said he was or.
dered to report to Secretary Hitch
cocks Office at Q O'Clock; that he
was there, and in other Offices Of
the department until 1890, but he
was not confronted by Mott, his
accnser, who it was stated yester-
day was to confront him today,
either in Secretary Hitchcock's Of.
fee or in Indian Commissioner
Leuppe's Office. Both men were in
both offices today, it was learned,
but at different times. Mott has
been asked to present more evid-
dence to substantiate his charge
against Bixby, and has left for In
dian Territory for that purpose.
Mr., Bixby talked with Secretary
Hitchcock. with First Assistant
Secretary Ryan and with Commits
sioner Leuppe during the time he
was at the department. He was
ordered to Washington by the Sc
cretary to meet the charges of
Mott, and presumably discussed
them with the secretary.
