RUMoRED STEAMSHIP DEAL.
Reported Japanese Government is Be-
hind Big Purchase.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 12.-The Ex-
aminer says that the Toyo Kisen Kaisha,
the Japanese Steamship Company, is nego-
tiating to buy the transit Pa cifc line of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. that E.
H. Harriman's recent viist to Japan may
have had something to do with this propo-
sitien and that the Japanese government is
behind the intended purchase.
B. p. Schwerin. vice president and gen
erai manager of the company and personal
ing the matter said:
1T is not true that the japanese govern
ment has made any offer to Mr. Hartman
to buy the trans-Pacif1c steamship line of
the Pacific Mail. 1t Is true, however that
the. Togo Kisen Kaisha people have made
Mr.. Hartman an offer, and If Mr. Harri-
man were willing to sell today they would
buy him out without the least hesitation.
What Mr. Harrfman's intentions in the
matter may be do not pretend to know"
The trans-Pacific line OF the Pacific Mail
consist of the steamers Korea, Siberia.
Manchuria and Mongolia. Their total cost
to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company in
round figures was $10,o00,G ,Go0.
Managing Director NJ. Shiraishi of the
japanese Steamship Company is now on his
way from Brazil to London and will prob
ably arrive in New York early in March
The supposition Is that he Is empowered to
finally discuss with Hartman the Japanese
offer to buy out the Pacific Mails trans

MORALES is LOCATED
SOUGHT REFUGE IN AMERICAN
LEGATION AT sANTo DOMINGO.

SANTO DOMINGO, Republic of Santo
Domingo, January 12.-The fugitive Presi-
dent Morales has sought refuge in the
American legation here Negotiations are
in progress with the object of inducing Gen.
Morales to resign the presidency and leave
Santo Domingo.
1t is claimed here that the step taken by
Morales in seeking the protection of the
American flag virtually puts an end to the
disturbances IN this republic
The State Department was advised sew
eral days ago that efforts were making to
compass the retirement of Morales from
Office and his withdrawal from Santo Do
mingo. 1t was understood then that the
fugitive president had offered to resign his
office If he were given safe conduct out OF
the country, and 1t was supposed that his
proposition. would. be accepted by the
Caceras party. With that understanding
one of the United States gunboats was
being held in readiness to take Morales
aboard and transport him to Porto Rico.
1t Is said now at the State Department
that while that program may be adhered to-
If a complete understanding Is reached be-
tween Morales and the de facto governm ent
the former may safely take the first vessel
that leaves port, either a warship or one OF
the regular liners, and thus terminate the
incipient rebellion and insure the continu-
ance of peaceful conditions in Santo Do
mingo. Such an outcome would be entirely
satisfactory to the State Department be-
cause it has had satisfactory assurances
that the Caceras government will live UP to
the existing temporary arrangement as to
customs collections.

SUCCESSOR TO HARPER
TALK OF ELECTING ROOSEVELT
IN UNIVERSITY CIRCLES.

CHICAGO, January 12.-Talk of elect
ing President Roosevelt as the successor
of the late President Harper at the head
of Chicago University has become strong
In university circles. 1t is declared to
nave been one of the hopes of DIR. Harper
during the last months of his life that
the way could be cleared to have Presi-
dent Roosevelt take the head of the uni
Versity at the conclusion of his presiden-
tial term. TO bring this about it will be
necessary to alter the constitution of the
university, which declares that only a.
Baptist may be president. President
Roosevelt worships in the Dutch Reform
ed Church -
1t has been definitely decided that the
mai resting place of President Harper
shall be in memorial chapel to be erect
ed on the university campus Until tile
completion of the chapel the body will re-
main in the vault at Oakwoods cemetery
a short distance from the Harper resi-
dence.

CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
ITS REORGANIZATION BY THE RE-
PUBLICANs TO BE DEFERRED.

Reorganization of the republican con-
gressonal campaign committee will prob
ably not be effected until some time in the
spring. Members of the committee feel
that there is no occasion for haste ana
that in the circumstances the time is not
propitious for reorganizing. 1t is felt
that the congressional campaign committee
which is to wage the next campaign, adj
mittedly likely to be one of the most des-
perate battles which have been fought In
recent years, should be in thorough har-
mony with the national administration and
the administration of the House.
Many questions upon which the next cam
paign will be fought are still in embryo.
and 1t is inadvisable at this time to plan
the campaign. 1t is felt that consequently,
ii is not feasible to select the managers or
the members of the committee.
The rank and file of the republicans of
the House are very much stirred up over
the prospect of the retirement of Mr.. Over
street and Mr.. Babcock, which would carry
at the same time the retirement of Mr..
Hull. 1t was with the greatest difficulty
that Mr.. Babcock and Mr.. Overstreet were
Induced to lake charge of the last CAM
raign. They did it at the direct request OF
President Roosevelt and the unanimous de-
mand of their colleagues in the House.
After the successful campaign was waged
Mr.. Babcock announced that he would not
go into another contest. and Mr.. Overstreet
also expressed his unwillingness.
The prospect, according to the best tudg-
ment of republicans of the House, Is tnat
between now and the reorganization of the
committee existing friction will be abated
and conditions arranged which will make
IL impossible for Mr. Babcock and Mr.
Overstreet to refuse to take up the burden
for another campaign.

P O, MESSENGER ARRESTED.
Charged with Stealing Money in Dead
Letter Office.

J. B. Kane, a messenger In the dead let
ter division of the Post Office Department,
was arrested last night by local post office
inspectors, charged with embezzlement A
preliminary hearing was had today before
United States Commissioner Anson 8. Tay
lor, and Kane was held in 81 500 bond for
the grand jury. Late this afternoon Mr..
Samuel H. Walker qualified as bondsman,
and the prisoner was released.
Kane, according to the post Office inspec-
tors, made a full confession, but upon ad-
vice of his counsel, Mr.. William Earl Am
brose, he pleaded not guilty when called
before the commissioner today. 1t appears
from the evidence that Kane had been SuS-
pected for some time of opening letters In
the dead letter division, appropriating such
moneys as they might contain, and then de-
stroying the letters.
Consequently the inspectors yesterday
morning abstracted three bundles Of letters
from the dead letter division. and placed
in each of the bundles a letter containing
marked money One of these bundles was
given Kane at am; another at IL am,
and the third at l pm It was Kane's duty
to open the letters, make a record Of their
contents, deposit the money, and preserve
the letters. During the day he was watched
by the inspectors, and at the close of the
day one Of the inspectors requested Kane to
go with him to the Office of the inspector in
charge of the Washington division. This
the marked money, 1t is said, was found on
him.
Before the commissioner this morning At
torney Ambrose waived examination be-
yond a mere recital of the charge against
his client. Attorney Ambrose entered the
plea of mot guilty for his client, and asked
that bond be fixed In the sum of 81 600 The
assistant district attorney thought the bond
should be fixed at 81 800, and the commits
siner ordered. The post office inspectors
are not sure how much money 1t will be
charged Kane has stolen, as when all rec
ord of the contents of the letters Is de-
stroyed. it is next to impossible to ascer-
tain how much money they contained. The
specific charges, three In number, do not
involve the theft Of more than $40.

MOTHER AND SONS HELD.
Charged With Murder of Wood Chop
per in Montana,

P1IILL1PSBURG, Mont January ED
ward and Robert Franz and their mother
have been arrested in this city charged
with the murder of George Reed.
Late last summer the long absence of
Reed, wood chopper, caused a search to
be instituted and his body was found in a
shallow grave in the vicinity Of the Franz
ranch, where Reed had his cabin. A large
tree had been felled so that in falling the
branches covered the grave.
The arrest was based upon the fact that
Edward Franz, while on spree, confessed
to the murder and also admitted the killing
of man named Pongratz. who mysterious
ly disappeared from Phillipsburg about five
years ago. Pongratz was an employe of the
Binnetallic mine at this city. He left home
morning in his working clothes for the
mill, but did not return, and no tidings had
been received from him since until this con-
fession of Edward Franz.

The 9th Field Battery of the United
States Artillery, commanded by Capt. q.

The battery broke the worlds record for
long-distance practice march of artillery,
having covered the estimated 1,100 miles
from Fort Riley kans., to Fort Sam Hous-
ton In fifty-five days
The battery was compelled to make sew
erai detours in order to evade bad roads
and unusually rough country. This made
the distance which it actually covered con-
siderably longer than by rail.
1t Is asserted by army men here that 1t
Is by far the longest practice march ever
made by artillery in time of peace, and that
no forced march in time of war, with the
exception of Napoleon's retreat from Mos
COW, compares with it in distance.
The artfllerymen of the 9th Battery were
a sorry appearing set of men when they
arrived here Their clothing was in tatters
ana SO covered with mud and dirt that the
color of the cloth could not be distinguish

NEXT FRIDAY SELECTED.
Date Fixed for Taking Up the Hepburn
Bill in Committee.

Rate legislation was not considered py
the House committee on interstate and for-
eign commerce today, as the democratic
members We're not ready to discuss the Hep
burn bill, which the republican members
have agreed to report in a slightly modified
form. Next Friday was set as the date
when the entire committee Will consider the
Hepburn measure
AS yet the democrats have not had time
to study the amended measure, and Repre-
sentative Richardson tAla.), Adams (Ga-)
and other democratic members said IL was
impossible for them TO say now whether
they viii accept Chairman Hepburns s Dill
or report a measure of their own.
Mr. Hepburn has Incorporated in his bill
many features that we suggested last year,
said Representative Richardson, but the
bill still has features that are obJecttonapie
to U.S. We are especially pleased that the
Hepburn has abandoned the idea of special
courts for rate cases In our opinion that
would have been a vicious provision.
1t is likely that the republicans on the
committee will agree to further changes IN
the Hepburn bill before meeting again with
the democratic committeeman. Some of the
republicans are anxious to incorporate
provision which will make it possible to
bring action for violation of rate statutes
wherever the violation occurs.
