Washington, Dec. 3,-The supreme
court today took up the hearing of the
ten cases against officers OF so called
Fertilizer trust who are resisting re-
moval from Virginia to Tennessee on
charges of conspiracy under the Sher-
man antitrust law. The cases raise
a new point in procedure under the
Sherman antitrust law. James G.
and ten other residents of
Virginia, alleged to be members OF the
combination of fertilizer manufacture
ers were indicted by the Tennessee
courts for conspiracy in that state to
raise the price of fertilizers. They re-
sisted removal to Tennessee on the
ground that never having been in the
state they could not be indicted for
conspiracy therein. The federal court
of Virginia denied writs of habeas cor
pus for their release based on that
point, and their appeals from that
judgment will today be reviewed by
the supreme court.

Diamonds in Kentucky,

New York, Dec. 3.--An examination
of a few diamonds found in Kentucky
shows them to be pure stones of rich
lustre. They were found by a man
named Pearson, who has much expert
ence of diamond mining in the Jo-
hannesburg district Of South Africa. A
company is being formed here to ex-
ploit the region in which Pearson
made the find as he states the dia-
mond fields in Kentucky will probably
develop into richer veins than even
those Of Kimberly. AT present in Ell
lott and Boyd counties in Kentucky
where the stones were found land
which was hitherto considered almost
valueless, is booming and considerable
excitement exists.

REGIMENTS RECORD IS BAD
ONCE BEFORE THE REGIMENT
SHOT UP THE TOWN AND KILL
ED A cIViLIAN-cITIzENs FoRc-
ED A CONFESSION AND LYNCH
ED THE GUILTY NIGER.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The war de-
partment is preparing for an investi-
cation by congress of the case of the
companies of the Twenty fifth infan-
try, recently discharged without honor
by order of President Roosevelt, and
to this end has compiled record of
the negro troops dating back to the
civil war.
1t is said that this record discloses
a state of affairs not generally known,
and that once before, at least, the
Twenty-fifth infantry "shot up the
town."
The affair happened in 1885 at Fort
Sturgis, Dakota. Some of the negro
soldiers went on rampage similar to
that at Brownsville, Tex, and one of
their number killed citizen. In that
case, however, the citizens took the
matter in their own hands, forced the
troopers under the pain of death to
disclose the name of the man who did
the killing and then took him out and
lynched him.

The Opening Sessions
Were Brief.
FORAKER PROMISES F6'
HE WILL MAKE AN INQUIRY INTO
THE DISCHARGE OF THE MEN,
RERs OF THE TWENTY-FIFTH
INFANTRY AND WANTS ALL
THE FACTS IN THE CASE.

Washington, Dec 3.-The fact that
both houses of congress are to meet
today for a short session, had the
effect early in the day Of giving the
capital an appearance of activity such
as 1t has not presented since congress
adjourned last June. The first day of
the session never develops much of in
terest to those used to attending the
sessions of congress but no other day
of the session seems to possess great
er charm for the average citizen. To-
day is evidently not going to be an
exception to the rule as the corridors
were not without visitors even before
the senators and members had begun
to arrive, and there was a marked in
crease as the day advanced.
The passage of the appropriation
bills and as little other general legis-
lation as possible. Such, in brief, is
the forecast for the short session of
the fifty-ninth congress which began
at noon.
The ship subsidy bill probably will
be an exception to the rule, for no
general legislation. The friends of
that measure have never been more
insistent than now. They are ex-
tremely hopeful and yet very appre-
hensive
The senate has on its calendar two
important house bills, the immigra-
tion bill and the Philippine tariff bill,
but there are snags in the pathways
of both of them
Not few n.1rabars Of this year's
congress are anxious to meet the de-
4. n Eo,.
more elastic currency.
Among the questions slated for a
liberal share of discussion, the tariff
stands at the head of the list, but no
one has the least idea that any seri-
GUS efforts will now be made to se-
cure the notifications which even
many republicans think desirable
The senate will give attention to the
case Of Senator Reed Smoot, but what
it will do about it, not even the sem
ate wishes now to contemplate.
Much interest attaches to the presi-
dents forthcoming recommendations
concerning the Panama canal, espe-
cially because of his recent visit to
the canal zone.
Senator Foraker, it is understood,
has decided to offer in the senate
early this week, a resolution of inquiry
into the dismissal from the army of
the battalion of the Twenty fifth Unit
ed States infantry, colored, as a result
of the shooting up of Brownsville.
Tex, on the night of Aug. 13 last. The
senator's resolution will request the
president or the war department to
furnish the senate with all the facts
in the case including, especially, the
evidence upon which the order Of dis
missal was based. The purpose OF
asking for the data is to permit a
clear judgment, whether an injustice
has been done any of the members OF
the disgraced organization. The ques-
tion has been raised whether the dis
missal without honor which the
colored i-%e %entrymen suffered, does not
deprive them illegally of the military
rights, such as pensions, admission to
soldiers homes, etc.
The question of spelling undoubtedly
will receive attention at the hands OF
congress this week.

ceiveG much attention from the pub
lie. The effect of the decision, which
was determined by Justice Day, is to
leave in effect the decision of the Ari-
IONA supreme court, which was favor

'"The most serious problem which
faces the shipping public today is that
Of getting traffic moved. There are
millions Of tons of freight awaiting
shipment at the present time In the
United States which the railroads
confess themselves unable promptly to-
handle. Whether there is an actual
car shortage or not is question that
only full inquiry can determines; but
that there is fault to be found with
the manner in which cars are used
seems to be generally conceded by all
traffic men.
In the northwest, the farmers of
the Dakotas and Minnesota have filled
the elevators along the lines of the
railroads and are stacking their wheat
n great bins twenty and thirty feet
deep and covering an acre or more of
ground. At the same time there Ii
ample room for all OF this wheat in
the terminal elevators at Chicago, Mill

u. s, Potato crop,

Washington, Dec. 3.--From a rough
example of preliminary estimates,
compilation shows the potato acreage
of '0s to be 2,957,8OO against 1885,
700 planted in 1905. The average
yield per acre is given at 1925 bush
els against eighty-sevenlast year. This
would indicate crop close on 30O,-
100000 bushels as against 100000, 700
in 1905. The big markets continue to
receive full supplies Of potatoes and
prices are accordingly reported to be
dropping. 1t is claimed that in north
ern Michigan are getting supplies as
low as % cents bushel. This years
potato crop is the largest on record.

Prisoner Will Soon Know
Jury's Opinion.
ARGUMENTS Being MADE
WITNESSES CALLED THIS MORN
ING TO TESTIFY AS TO THE
DEPTH OF THE WATER WHERE
BODY WAS FoUND-oEFENsE
URGES SUICIDE THEORY.

Herkimer, N. Y, Dec. 3.-Chester E.
Gillette, on trial here for the alleged
murder of Grace Brown, probably will
know his fate within the next twenty
four hours.
District Attorney Ward will sum up
for the state today, taking the ground
that Gillette deliberately planned to
murder Miss Brown and did kill her
or render her insensible with blows
on the head with a tennis racquet, her
body being then thrown into Big
Moose lake in the Adirondacks.
The counsel for Gillette urged the
theory of suicide.
Silas d. Feeter of Little Falls, a civil
engineer, was called by the defense
as soon as the court opened today. He
testified that the water in the Big
Moose lake, where the overturned boat
was found, was seven and a half feet
deep.
Witnesses for the prosecution had
testified the water was four and a
half feet deep. On cross examination
Feeter admitted that summer shrub
berry, growing last July, was now COW
cred with water"
District Attorney Ward called Julian
A, Vanwie as his witness. Mr.. Van
vie lives in Cortland and is manager
of cycle company there. Objection
was taken and allowed to the line of
Questioning, whereupon the district at
torney announced that the case for
the people was closed.
The defense had no further testi-
mony to offer and Justice Devendorff
Informed the counsel no limit would
be placed on addresses unless they de-
sired it.
