WASHINGTON. ID. c., May 21.-
Vice Consul Stuart. who was killed at
Batoum, was an Englishman, 40 years
old and had filled the position for about
two years. At the time of his death he
was acting consul.
Ambassador Meyer having taken cog
nizance of the case, the state depart
ment officials do not believe that it re-
quires action at their hands ut this mo-
ment. 1t is not doubted that the Russian
government will make every effort to
capture the assassins and mete out full
punishment to them, and it is conse-
quently felt to be well to allow them to
proceed in that direction without further
pressure

TO PUT SHARP CURB
ON BIG COAL LINES.
Congress Will Be Urged by Interstate
Commerce Commission to
Stop Graft

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May 21.-
The revelations of favoritism and
graft" in the relations between the rail
roads and the coal companies made to
the interstate commerce commission will
lead. it is reliably reported, to a sensa-
tiOnal report to Congress embodying the
following recommendations:
The government supervision of thu apthra-
cite coal trade.
Drastic national legislation providing pen
altics, forbidding not only the direct or in
direct ownership of coal mines by railroad
companies but the direct or indirect owner
ship by officers of railroad companies.
direct report that the coal carrying rail
roads have violated the interstate commerce
regulations In the distribution of cars.
. statement that many roads, in handling
Standard Oil commerce, have violated the
provisions of the Sherman law.
Further Probe Is Useless.
No report regarding individual prose
cutions.
If the Investigations of the interstate
commerce commission were to stop today
the recommendations of that body would
be about as above set forth, and from in
formation still in hand the members of
the commission believe that their further
probing into the anthracite and btumi-
nous coal situation and the Standard Oil
trade will only result in supplying fur
Iner 1OundatlOn Tor Such report.
No draft of any report to Congress has
yet been made, but the commissioners
and counsel have the subject constantly
in mind, and are even willing to discuss
the subject unoflicially.
Bituminous Coal Roads Next.
The last of the commissioners has now
left Philadelphia, although two of them
will return on Tuesday night to take up
the investigation of the bituminouS coal
roads. The others will continue the
Standard Oil probe in Cleveland. After
these hearings are completed the anthra
cite roads again will become the final OBJ
ject of attention on the part of the COM

a strong Point.

The strongest point that has yet
been brought out in the matter Of the
assessments of railroads was that Of
Governor Dawsons who showed from
the records that the Baltimore & Ohio
swore that its roads in West Virgin
la had earned 100000 and yer want
ed its property valued at but $1,000
900.
In other words the company con
tended that its investment in West
virginia was earning SO 1-3 per cent.
1t is little wonder that Tie State
board of public works, confronted by
such surprising figures, arbitrarily
fixed the valuation severalfold higher
than that sworn to by the company,
hut at the same time at no excessive
figures considering the earning power.

TROUBLE FOR
THE LKMAN
WHEELING Has AN oRpIt2 E
AGAINST SCI NC SKINNED
MILK FOR CREAM.


WHEELING Aug 90 Judging
from the action of the milk inspector
it Is his Intention ia compel the dairy
men who sell their milk In Wheeling
ito conform to the ordnance which
were passed last spring when At was
decided that milk Inspector should
be appointed, for the very good reason
that during the past couple OF weeks
he has been making things Interesting
for those who have not been obseTv-
ing the law regarding certain matters
in Connection with the milk business.
Wednesday afternoon warrant
was sworn out before the clerk Of
police court, Charles a. Gelger, for
the arrest OF w. HI Lorentz. 4 lairy-
man who runs two wagons in the city
and lives back of what Is known as
Reymann's hin The warrant alleges
that Lorentx has been violating sec.
ton ofthe ordinance which provides
that cans containing skinned milk
shall be labeled as such, and that the
milk shall contain a certain amount
of butter fat.
On account of the lateness of the
hour when the warrant was swron
out it was not served on Mr.. Lorentz
last night, but will be this morning
while he is in the city delivering his
milk. This will necessarily delay the
tfial of the case until tomorrow morn
ing.
DR.. Wilson, the milk Inspector, has
warned all of the dairymen regarding
the provisions of the ordinance and
has asked them in very kin way to
confor INTO the law as closely ar posi-
BILE in order that he be not compelled
to take drastic measures. A good
many Of the dairymen have needed
the warning and are improving their
conditions which win assist in making
their milk better, while others are go
ing along in the same old way. The
latter are the ones the Inspector is
after and it is his intention 10 prose-
cute eevry one Of them II they do not
adhere strictly to the law in titis mat
ter.

HE BRYAN woRsHIPERs.

The Democratic party feels the need
of savior SO badly that it Is ready
to fan down and worship the man
which it pins its faith to as the one
Moses to lead 1t out of the wilder
ness of distress and woe into which
Mr.. Cleveland plunged it in the dark
days of his reign. In fact the chagrin
Of Democracy over the utter failure
of the Cleveland administration was
the first great cause of Mr.. Bryan's
idolization by the masses of the par
ty. Thrown into despair and hopeless
ness over the situation brought on by
Mr.. Cleveland, the silver lining in the
Bryan promise set his followers aglow
with welcome and unexpected hope.
So great was the impression made on
the discouraged Democrats by Mr..
Bryan's Chicago speech that they will
never get over 1t or cease worship
ping him. To-day they are doing hom-
age to him in New York City on the
event of his coming home from trip
around the world. The demonstration
will probably almost equal the recep-
ton given Admiral Dewey a few years
ago. You say You don't remember
Dewey? oh, yes, you do, he was the
hero of Manila Bay, the man who
licked the spanIatds, Well, such is
fame. Then there was Hobson. he of
the Merrtmac and kissing episodes.
He was once famous too. But alas!
the American people so soon forget.
They have to make fools of them
selves and an imaginary hero once in
a while, so we suppose the only thing
to do is to try to get used to it.
