Eisht-Hour Section Faila

Washington.-Almo the entire ses
sion of the Senate Friday was devoted
TO the consideration of the urgency de-
ticiency bill, which was passed prac-
tically as it was reported from the
committee on appropriations. The only
discussion in connection with the bill
was over an amendment suggested by
Mr.. Patterson to strike out the provision
relieving all alien workmen on the ca
nal from the operations of the eight
hour law. Mr.. Patterson contended
that to require men to labor more than
eight hours day in the tropics was
inhuman and argued that the require
ment would do injustice to American
labor. Several senators on both sides
of the chamber controverted the posi-
ton.
The amendment was voted down
without resorting to a roll call.

German VS.. American Railways.

Berlin.-Privy Councillors NJ. Hoff
and F. Schwabach, whom the Prussian
government sent to the United States
in 1904 to study American railway sys-
tens, have just published an exhaus-
tive work, making many striking com
parisons of the American and Prussian
railroads, often to the disadvantage of
the former. They quote official statis-
tics showing that per million passen-
gers carried the American roads killed
six time and wounded twenty-nine
times SIS many of them as the Prussian
roads.
The writers found that the average
passenger rate in America was 2.O2
cents per mile, against 0.9S cents in
Prussia, while freight rates nominally
average 0.7S cents per ton per mile in
the United States, against 1.3G cents in
Prussia.
The original cost of construction OF
the Prussian lines was sixtythree per
cent. higher per mile than that Of the
American roads.
If conditions were equalized, Herren
Hoff and Schwabach figure, that the
American average for freight would be
1.44 cents per ton per mile and that Of
Prussia 0.95.

Rapid Pension Legislation.

" Washington - The House Friday
ground out its usual semi-monthly
grist of private pensions, making anew
record of pension legisla ton by passing
in seventy-two minutes 429 bills for
the benefit of veterans who are barred
for one reason or another from coming
in under the general statute. Seven
ty-five per cent. of the beneficiaries are
either blind or bedridden.
This order, with a number of minor
bills, and the passage of two amend
ments to the Philippine tariff act of
1905. constituted the transactions of
the day. The tariff amendments place
American cotton goods on an equality
so far as the cost of production is con
cerned, with European goods. Low
grades of shoes were admitted at q
lower tariff.
A bill was passed authorizing the
secretary of the interior to lease for a
buffalo pasture $500 acres of land in
Stanley county, South Dakota. Ad-
journed to Monday.

ATTACKS KING LEOPOLD.
eelgium's Monarch Declared to Be a
Royal CRATER.

Brussels-Prof. Felician Gather OF
the Free University of Brussels, has
published pamphlet on the situation
in the Congo Free State which con.
tains several hitherto unpublished
documents showing that the crown do
main, which practically is King Leo
pold's personal property, consists OF
2S9,375 square kilometers of an area
two and one-half times the size of
England, bringing him profits on india
rubber alone of SIS. 5.147,O00 during the
last ten years.
Professor Gather recalls the fact
that Premier De Smet De Mayer de-
clared in the Chamber of Deputies In
1903 that the profits of the crown do
main would be exclusively applied to
the creation of establishments of ma
terial, moral and intellectual utility,
whereas the official documents ad-
duced show that the profits have been
used for the acquisition of real estate
in Brussels and Ostend alone to the
value of $3,655,000 as well as property
in many other towns in Belgium. The
author foresees as a result OF all this
that grave difficulties will arise when
the succession to the throne OF Bel.
gium and the Congo Free State comes
up.
The revelations of Professor Cattier
have caused a great sensation.

NEGRO AUTHOR DEAD.
Consumption Closes Career Of Paul
Lawrence Dunbar.

Dayton, Ohio.-Paul Lawrence Dun
bar. the negro poet, died at his home
here Friday of consumption. For three
years he had been seriously i'll and for
a year critically i'll, but he kept at his
work intermittently and wrote his last
poem for his Christmas book. "Howdy.
Honey, Howdy," just before Christmas.
Mr. Dunbar was born in Dayton
June 27, 1872, and was first a newsboy
and then an elevator boy and in his
ups and downs for a living practiced
writing. His first poem was written
when he was seven years old. His first
work to attract attention to him was a
class poem written for the Steele high
school in 1891. His first OF total of
twenty-one books was 'Oak and Ivy"
His poem best known was when
Malindy Sings" which was written to
his mother, whose name is Malindy.
Mr.. Dunbar is survived by his
mother. his wife and two half-brothers,
who reside in Chicago. He will be
buried in Woodland cemetery, this
city, many persons of note being ex-
pected to attend.
A story written by Dunbar at the be-
ginning of his career attracted the at
teption Of Frederick Douglass, and the
colored statesman looked him up. BY
this time the public began to become
interested in the personality of the
young Ohioan, and his future was as
sured He secured admission to the
highest literary circles everywhere
and became popular lecturer, while
his revenue from his writings steadily
increased.
At twenty-five, with the encouraging
plaudts of his first success ringing in
his ears, he went abroad for new con-
quests. In England Mr.. Dunbar was
received by the most highly cultured
and aristocratic people in the land, be-
cause he had genius-the key that un-
looks all doors that bar the way to
fashionable or cultivated society
abroad.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
market had very satisfactory tone
last week and prices held up very
well. Receipts were fair but not as
heavy as week ago, nor was the
quality of the offerings as good There
was a good strong demand for the
good grades, especially beef cattle,
and the movement was active. Coed
beef steers and COWS sold at fully
steady prices all week and closed a
little stronger than week ago. Com
mon grades, however, were dull and
market weak. Steers sold largely at
$3.75@4.45 and cows at $2.5O@3.6O,
with one fancy COW at 81. Bulls we're
fully steady and veals active and
strong. Best bulls brought $2.S5 and
fancy veals sold up to $5.25. Feeder
and stocker market was lower early in
the week on account of the lower mar
kets East. Late trading, however, was
more active and prices closed very
nearly steady on choice heavy feeders
although little lower on the medium
and inferior grades There is "A very
strong demand here for all good feshy
feeders and everything of this kind
offered sells readily and well.
Hog receipts were quite liberal but
trading rather quiet as the demand is
rather light. Packers carried over Il
good many live hogs from last week
and are not very urgent in their de-
mands. Demand this week will be
only fair. Prices are higher in SYM
pathy with the eastern advance, tops
now selling around $3.50 with the
rangfie down to So 60
Sheep market has had very good
tone here and trade has been active
on everything offered. There is a
very good demand for ewes and weth-
ers but not much call for lambs on
this market Prices note little cEange
from a week ago.

COAST TERMINAL.
Union Pacific Buys Frontage at Puy-
alIup.

Tacoma, Wash.-Negotiatio be-
tween the Union Pacific Railway
Company and the st. Paul and Ia
coma Lumber Company have been
closed whereby the Hartman inter
ests have acquired seventy acres OF
tide lands forming an ideal site for
railroad terminals and having front
age of 1,500 feet on the bay and about
1,400 feet on the Puyallup waterway.
The property is the highest priced
land on the tide flats and cost ap-
proximately $1,OO0,0O0. Of which the
Union Pacific has paid large amount
in cash.
In purchasing the property, one Of
the conditions of the sale is that the
Union Pacific improve it and locate its
railroad terminals and shipping ware
houses upon it within a certain time.
Officials of the st. Paul company
refuse to state the exact timG limit by
which the Union Pacific is bound, but
it is understood to be about twenty
months, as they say that the Union Pa
cific will be here sooner than any
other transcontinental line could build
to Tacoma were it to commence con
struction work at once.

Utopia seemed a step nearer for an.

were announced for an apartment
bufI1ing in which every fiat will have
its own garage. Dwellers in these
unique apartments can step directly
from their living rooms into their mo-
tor cars, be conveyed to the street by
mammoth elevator, and drive away
serenely, without having lifted foot
since they entered the automobile.
This plan is announced in behalf of
Laverne w. Noyes of the Aeromoter
company. The structure is to be at
Elm street and the Lake Shore drive.
From the bottom to the top Of the
structure, which is designed to be
seven stories high, with each floor de-
voted to single suite, will run the eIe-
vator, large enough to accommodate
the largest of automobiles for private

AN ARCTIC CONTINENT.
VIII Be Sought for Uncle Sam by Dan
Ish Explorer.

Washington.-Capt. e. ]. Mikkelsen,
formerly Of the Danish navy, will soon
undertake a novel Polar expedition,
under Anglo-American auspices. for
the purpose of discovering the great
unknown continent supposed to be
within the Arctic circle and by raising
the American flag and claiming it in
the name Of the United States.
His plan of operations was ex-
planned to President Roosevelt at the
White House Saturday. Captain Mix
kelsen was officially presented to tho
President by the Danish minister.
The captain believes that there ex-
lists in the Arctic regions an enormous
archipelago, as yet unexplored, lying
between the Parry islands and Wran-
gel land, off the Siberian coast. AL
though subject of Denmark, Captain
Mikkelsen, upon discovering the new
continent, intends to plant there the
American flag and claim it as a pos
session Of the United States.
He has no intention OF trying to
reach the North Pole, an undertaking
which he believes to be both improba-
BILE and useless of attainment.
Captain Mikkelsen explained to the
President the objects and purposes of
the expedition and President Roose-
welt expressed his hearty approval of
the enterprise. 1t was explained that
the intention of Captain Mikkelson is
to make scientific Investigations,
which probably will result in new and
important additions to present knowl-
edge OF geology, meterology, hydro
graphy and possibly ethnology, astron-
omy and physics.
Captain Mikkelsen will have as his
companions on the expedition. which
it is proposed shall start from San
Francisco in May of the present year,
Ernest Leffingwell of the University OF
Chicago, who will have charge OF all
of the scientific work. and Ejnar Dit
levsen of Copenhagen. who is both a
zoologist and an artist. In it's en-
tirety the expedition goes out under
the auspices Of the Royal Geographi-
cal Society and an American maga-
zine.
