MOODY TAKES A HAND.
Attorney-GeneFal Interested in Case AEnfnAt the Hnckern

Att0rney-GemefaI Interested In Case ...i Against the Packers.
 Chicago, Feb. 6.-United States Attor- ney-General Moody took an active part today in the trial of the packers case. At the opening of court he was called upon by Attorney John $. Miller, who represents Armour & Co.,, to produce the original copy of a letter written to him by President Roosevelt or to ad- init the authenticity of a copy which MT. Miller produced in court
 The Attorney General admitted the accuracy of the document as a copy, but declared that the clause in the letter which the attorneys of the packers con- strued as meaning that the Department of Justice and the Department of Com merce and Labor were working on the case in unison. was not correct.
 His assertion caused much excitement among the attorneys for the packers, and they objected to the statement of the Attorney-GeneraI as being improper before the jury. The letter was not offered In evidence, but was marked for Identification.
 But three witnesses were on the stand during the day, and their evidence was not of general interest, relating, as 1t did. entirely to the manner in which the agents of the Government examined the books of Nelson, Morris & Co. and of the Fairbanks Canning Company
 The afternoon session of the court was taken up by the reading to the court of the Garfield report on the pack ing industry. It is a document of $50 pages,

ILL WILL ON THE INCREASE Feeling in China Against
 Americans. EFFORTS OF MIR. ROCKHILL So Far Unsuccessful in Combating
 the Boycott. Believed by Many that All Foreigners Except Possibly the Japanese are in Disrcpute Among
 the Chinese.
 
EFFORTS OF MIR. RocKHlL

Washington, Feb. 6.--Reports con- tinue to pour into the Department of State from diplomatic and consular agents in China regarding the rapid in- crease of feeling against American per sons and things as expressed in edicts issued by local authorities in various parts of the Empire.
 For six months the situation fin China has been the subject of very genuine concern to the Department. and Mir. Rockhill the American Minister at Pekin, Is under instructions to keep Washington thoroughly and frequently informed of the sttuatioE. He Is also exerting himself at the Chinese capi- tai in an effort to check or aIlay the anti-American feeling that appears to be growing.
 While not admitting that the sstua- tion is one of immediate danger, the officials here will not be at all sur prised at any developments month may bring forth. Although at the out set demanding only return to ths provisions of the original exclusion treaty of 1880. which excluded from this county Chinese laborers without specifying the classes of ChinAnnen which should be admitted. in some provinces manifestos have been issued declaring that if the boycott is rightly adhered to. American will be forced to forego any exclusion at all.
 Such expressions have been irnme- diately denied by Mir. Rockhfii al Pekin
 Feeling Against Foreigners. = Although directed primarily against Americans. the feeling of ilI-will that seems to be growing in various parts of the Empire is interpreted by orien- talIsts to have a far deeper meaning. In q word. it is declared to be anti- foreign and there are indications that all foreigners. with the possible excep- tion of Japanese. will soon be as keeniy affected as are Americans.
 Informal representations regarding the Chinese situation already hays been exchanged between some of the European powers, but thus far this country has not called foreign na- tions into consuitation because there is very general feeling among, the European powers that the Chinese are uniustiy discriminated against by tho American government and so long as the anti-foreign feeling is confined to Americans the Europeans are expected to bide their time.
 The dispatch from Pekin published today regarding the activity of Russia in Mongolia has been taken note of by the officials here.

 Washington, Feb. 6.--Senator Pettus was in his seat for seven hours today but left the chamber shortly before three o'clock for his residence. He feels the effects Of his fall yester- day morning on the icy pavements but says that he was not as badly shaken up as some of his friends f#ared. separt sor abroad in the early part of the day that he was seriously i'll and bulletins were sent out abont it. but they were promptly corrected when 1t became known that Senators Pettus and Money had lunch ed together in the senate restaurant.
 The house military affairs com mittee decided today to favorably re- port Representative Wiley's bill authorizing the erection upon the re- servation at Ft.

This measure smply provides the site and the pub- lie buildings committee will be asked to appropriate $10.000 for the con- struction of the building.
 Representative Bowie has receiv- ed several more letters from governors giving the number of blind tigers" in their states. Messrs. Underwood.

WRECK OF THE VALENCIA.
Searching investigation VIII he Made
 Ry Government.


 By Government.
 Washington, Feb. 6.--By direction of the President a searching investigation will be made by a special commission into the disaster to the steamship Val- encia which occurred recently off the coast of Vancouver.
 This investigation will be independ- ent of that now being conducted by in- spectors of the steamship inspecting servIce and was ordered after hearing representations from Senator Piles and Representatives Humphreys, of Wash ington to the President that the inquiry by the steamship in- spectors would not meet the present demands. President Roosevelt took up the matter immediately with Secretary Metcalf who announced that the com mission would consist of the Assistant Secretary of the Department of Com merce and Labor; Herbert Knox Smith. Assistant Deputy Commissioner of Cor porations, both of whom were mem bers of the Slocum board. and Capt. William T Burwell. commandant of the navy yard at Bremerton, Wash. The Department Of Commerce and Labor expects them to make the thorough and rigid investigation desired by the President
 Secretary Root has taken up with the Canadian authorities the question of establishing and maintaining suitable Lighthouses on the Vancouver coast, with a view to prevent further serious accidents.

 MT. Murdock tKas.) then proceeded in favor of the bill.
 Mir. Gaines (W. Va.) a member of the committee presenting the bill, discuss ed the alleged evils and remedies in- wolves in the question. He asserted that competition was already stifled by the action of the railroad themselves. He recited what he termed combi- nation to control the West Virginia coal output He then read two sec tions from the Southern Railway and Steamship Association agreement, di- viding up the territory as follows:
 That line from Buffalo, through Sal- amanca, Pittsburg. Wheeling and Par kersburg to Huntington, w. Va, be made the dividing line between eastern and western lines for, the territory hereinafter outlined. That the west ern lines shall not make joint rates lmX points east of line drawn from Chat tanooga through Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery to Pensacola.
 The eastern lines. including the Richmond and Danville Railroad via Strasburg. or points east of Strasburg and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway via Bristol shall not make rates on traffic from points west of that line (Buffalo, etc.), to any points on or west of a line 6Sawn from Chattanooga, through Athens. Augusta and Macon, to Live Oak, Fla. The traffic from Buffalo through Salamanca, Pittsburg. Wheeling and Parkersburg to Huntington, W. Va, and points on that line to and east of Chattanooga, Calera and Selma, shall be carried by either the eastern or western lines only at such rates as may be agreed upon"
 This agreement. he said, was signed by the proper officers of twenty-nine railroads and steamship companies. It was these combinations to stife com petition that led to Government action, said Mir. Gaines.
 Whether railroad rates are to be made by twelve railroad men or by a Government commission was a question to be settled is the view taken by Mir Chandler tMass. who favored the bill.
 The House adjourned until tomorrow.
