THE coUR1 REVIEW FEATURE

Washington, March S.-Conferenoes on the Hepburn rate bill are every day becoming more. numerous and more confusing. Groups of Republican Sem ators advocating an amendment pro- viding for judicial review or orders of the interstate commerce commission, groups of Republican Senators who support the bill as 1t was passed by the House and reported by the inter state commerce committee of the Sem ate and groups of Democratic. Senators most every hour of every day, the lat ter trying to determine what their party, policy will be.
 The most notable of these groups Is the first mentioned which has di- rected its efforts toward bringing about an agreement concerning an amend ment that might prove satisfactory to all of the Republicans. The fnem- bers of this faction are making use of the argument that unless amended the bill will be declared unconstitu- tionai. It is said by some of these Senators. that an informal poll shows a majority of the Senate in favor of a court review feature.
 Senators Deliver and Clapp. the Re- publican leaders of the faction sup porting the bill without amendment still believe that the bill ought to gu through in that form. No amend nents have yet been submitted to them which they are willing to accept. They will have conference with ghe Prest- don't Monday.
 The whole matter relating to the rate bill is still in the realm of spec ulation and no doubt will be for some time to come.

NEW HUNGARIAN CABINET.
Evident That Government Does NO'
 Want m Election.


 Vienna, March 3.-The reconstruc- ton of the Hungarian cabinet Is an nounced from Buda Pest. It is the natural consequence of the events of February 18th. when General Nyri, as royal commissioner, dissolved the Hun garian parliament by force.
 Baron Fejervary's choice of new minister is generally believed to sig nifty that the crown has no intention of holding new elections within the period expiring April 11th, as pre- scribed by the constitution. The new ministers evidently were selected pri- marily with the view of their fitness and willingness to help the crown car- ry out its declared policy in the face of unpopularity and possible resist ance.
 The previous cabinet had to face ostracism on the part of many extrem- ist clements and the same fate awaits it's successors.
 M. Kristofy. minister of the interior, intends to resign. His successor has not yet been announced. M. Lanyi, minister of justice, Is expected to re- sign. Julius tost will succeed George Lukacs as minister of public instruc- ton. Dr. Frank Heguedes takes the finance ministry portfolio previously held by Baron Fejervary. Major Gem eral Jahl. 1t Is expected, will be ap- pointed, minister of national defense in place of Major General Bihar, who resigned. Neither Tost nor HeRuedes have heretofore attained any promi- hence in public life.

 Operator Owes Life to Fact that He
 is a Cripple.
 Birmingham. Ala, March 3.--FeatureS of lhe storm in Meridian a sent by The Age-Herald's correspondent are as fol- lows:
 Charles Harris, an operator for the Queen and Crescent, owes his escape from injury when the wind struck that building last night, to the fact that he was already cripple. Many Of the others In the building when they heard the wind roaring outside, attempted to escape. and several of them were in- jured in this effort Harris was handi- capped and squatted on the floor, hop ing that the storm, in it's mercy, might pass o&er his head, which 1t did, for tunateiy. He escaped with few scratches
 No less authority that the United States observatory clock at Twenty second Avenue and Fourth Street, tells the correct time of the terrible wind which passed over Meridian last night indicating the time as 6:27 o'clock. The tlnepieee is practically destroyed.
 Among other freaks, the wind played was the carrying of a little baby of Jim Stewart from It's home, sweeping 1t through the air many feet above the ground. and finally depositing the babe Bently on the BFOuHu uhAiAIHi Nu. 1h0 baby lay in the rain that accompanied the wind for some time, but when rescued appeared none the worse from its experience.
 This morning about 5 o'clock the search for the missing child found il peacefully sleeping.
 One of the sad tragedies of the cy- slone was the suicide of Claude Will Hams floor manager of the Meyer Neville Hardware Company; Mir. Will Hams was at the center of the first floor when the building collapsed. His cries for help were heard, but all ef- 1 forts to reach him were futile. When l he realized his doom, he ended his suf- | ferinR by slashing his throat with | his pocket knife. His body was re- i covered at o'clock this morning.

ALLEGATIONS OF FORGERY.
The Government Sets About To Prove
 Its Charges.

Its Charges.
 Savannah, Ga, / March 3.-Upon the of the federal court today in the trial of Greene and Gaynor. Dis- trict Attorney Erwin called upon the defense to produce the books of the Att lantic City Contracting Company, un~ der which name Greene and Gaynor en- tered into contracts. with the govern meut.
 - P, ". Meldrim, of counsel for the de- fense, said they had no books, that such as they had the government had already been given. The government, said the District Attorney, did not ac- knowledge this to be true.
 Bank Examiner Johnson, who is cus- todian of the records in the case. testi- fled that he had received Greene's ac- counts with New York banks from the Attorney General.
 Colonel Meldrim questioned Mir. Johnson particularly about a check given by Greene and Gaynor to a bro- that had not been put in the record. The court held that tho government not the witness. was responsible for any failure to produce the paper.
 James J. Gallagher book keeper of the Atlantic City Contracting Com pany, testified that about $S0,000 was spent for supplies on the Savannah and Cumberland Sound contracts. He iden- titled various signatures Of F. H. and A. T. Gaynor that the District Attorney said were to be used for comparisons
 Joseph J. Gleason, local bank tell Ter as an expert on handwriting, identified that of Michael A. Connolly who had been secretary to Carter and was jointly indicted with the other de- fcndants. The witness testified that the names of Anson M. Bangs, Henry Smith and James c. Bogart appearing on the contracts were in the handwrit~ ing of Connolly.
 Testimony was given in substantia- ton of the governments charge of for gerry having been practiced in the prep aration of alleged frauds upon the gov ernment.
 The court called Colonel Msldrim's attention to the fact that Carter had approved the account. Although Ed- ward H. Gaynor's signature was in the handwriting of M. A. Connolly. the court said that it behooved the de- fense, if 1t could do so to disprove the fact that Connolly wrote the name of Gaynor.
 F. ]. Heating, who was govern ment inspector at one Of the brush camps maintained by Greene and Gay nor, gave figures he said he had com piled while at the works. He estimat- ed, he said. that fin all a mattress cost the contractors $aT0.7s. The govern men paid S3,491.25.

Proposition Meets With Favor of the Conference, Only Austria and Morocco Voting With the
 German Delegates.

Algeciras, March 3.-The conference on Moroccan reforms took a most in- portant step today by deciding on the initiative of Great Britain to proceed to the immediate disposal of tho po- lice question.
 After Sir Nicholson, chief of the British delegation, had submitted this proposition, the Marquis Vfs- conti Venosta, head of the Italian mis- sion, actively seconded it, eloquently appealing for conciliation and asking for the abandonment of the absolute and unbending stands taken by France and Germany. His words were listened to with deference.
 The voting showed that Germany had with her Austria and Morocco, while eight representatives of powers supported Sir Arthur Nicholson. Bell gium and Sweden announced that they would abide by the decision of the ma iority. One of the delegates then pro- posed that the police question be refer red to a special committee which should prepare a project and submit it to the conference, but this proposition receiv- ed negative vote,
 The result of the vote on Sir Ar thurs proposal has caused something of a sensation as it means that the delicate Franco German contest over the policing of Morocco has been forced to decisive issue in which both sides will be compelled to show their hand.
 Friends Of Germany.
 Moreover. the vote gave the first in- dication of The strength of the two sides. While this was not decisive, as the question was not upon the merits Of the police, yet 1t disclosed that Aus tria and Morocco were the only coun- tries voting with Germany.
 It is understood that France will not present police project to the con- ference and that, therefore, she will be consulted simply on the question of principle involved. s.s
 It is exp scted tf:at the discussion of the question If tho police win be begun Monday. F
 Concerning a despatch to g. London lnewspaper from Washington in effect that Emperor William contemplated a dramatic strike by announcing to the world that France and Germany had agreed, the delegates declare that they do not possess information warrantins such Q statement. However, many of them admit that the character of the German Emperor makes such ster possible.
 Herr von Radowitz. head of the Ger man delegation, while denying the statement expressed a hopeful view of a settlement of the controversy Count Cassini, the chief Russian ! plenipotentiary. says that he pins his l faith on the events of the last hour when both sides are face to face with the tremendous responsibility of the | failure of the conference. On the whole the trend of opinion among the ! delegates is that chances for amica- ble settlement are growing.

TALK OF PALACE REVOLUTION

St. Petersburg. March 3.--The re-ac- ationary caba1 at Tsarkso-Selo. headed by Count Ignatiefs. General Trepoff ana General Prince Putiatin. made a last ditch fight at the recent meeting of the special council to defeat the decis- ion of the emperor to incorporate iu the fundamental laws of the empire the provision that. hereafter no law shall be effective without the consent Of the national assembly and the coun- ell of the empire.
 forts were not without the sympathy of the empress When it became ap- parent that Premier Witte and the ems peror's councillors, who argued that only such a renunciation of the fmpe- rial power could appesse the senti- n1ent of the country and would carry the day. Count Ignatfen made last personal appeal to the emperor. warn ing him bluntiy that on the eve Of the assembling of the national assembly, such an irrevocabie step would put an end forever to the autocracy.
 The emperor. however. renuasned firm and ordered a vote to be taken and when the proposition was carried, his majesty formally confirmed the decision.
 This cahal is represented to have been driven to a desperation by tha defeat, and there are sinister ruraoKs of an attempt at a palace revolution. Tn high quarters. however, such & poe- sibiiity is secuted. A prominent pers sonaga who participated in the council. said today:
 NO matter what the cabal might secretly decree, with only the report of a portion of the officers of the guard regiments, 1t would not dare In such a cause to attempt a coup d'etat."
