ANOTHER ASYLUM SCANDAL.

A committee appointed by the Medico

affairs at st. Elizabeth's government
asylum for the insane, near Washing
ton, have made a report to the society,
copy of which will be sent to the

from complaints made to the committee

We think the newspapers make a mis-
take in publishing the sayings of Bishop
Turner. What the decrepit, old idiot
has to say about the Nation, the flag
and our people hurts no one, and the
oest OF MS own race pay no attention to
his periodical squeaks. Just quit Civ
ing him publicity and he will quiet down.
While he is ever trying to stir up dis
cord among the races we have in mind
Bishop Benz, Tanner Tucker, who is
now presiding over the Florida African
Conference in Florida. He is doing a
good work among his people, and is
bending all efforts to uplift, improve
and thus make them better citizens, and
no small part of his efforts is directed
towards creating kindly feelings be-
tween white and colored citizens. He
glories in being under the American
flag, and desires to make his people
and useful American citizens,
and Is at all seasons working to that
end

tional church at Waukegan, ILL.,, who

slightly preparatory to the stop at the
Waukegan depot. The minister rushed
upon the track and when the engine
was about twenty feet distant threw
himself fat upon his face. He was
struck by the pilot of the engine and
hurled many feet to one side OF the
track. A large crowd of people was
on the depot platform waiting for the
train and the attempt at suicide was
made in view of them ALL
Mr.. Wade was at once conveyed to
the hospital, where it was announced
that he had chance for recovery,
although the probable outcome of his
injuries could not be predicted until a
more extended examination had been

member of the church until very re-

ton, counsel for the senator. A large
number of letters which had been
written by Wolfe to members OF the
church were put into the record to
show that he had not made complaints
of the conduct of BENJAMIN Cluff on
the Mexican expedition, as he had
testified In direct examination. He
denied charges by counsel that he had
been intoxicated In several public
places and that he had expressed con-
triton because Of his refusal to pay
tithing.
On redirect examination the names
of number Of residents Of Provo
were read to the witness and ten OF
them, he said, were living In polygam-
GUS cohabitation.
William J. Thomas Of Spanish Fork.
Utah, the next witness, said he had
gone through the endowment house In
1869 and had taken an oath to "avenge
the blood of the prophet. Joseph
Smith, upon this nation and to teach
his children to do so down to the third
and fourth generations" He said he
was dropped from the church In the
sos because he had spoken too openly
against plural marriages.
Charles A. Smurthwaite Of Ogden,
Utah, testified that he had been ex-
communicated by the Mormon church
In April. 1905, because he insisted

lsIands annually was less than the to-
bacco production Of Lancaster. Pa.
Secretary Taft said the United States
had nothing to fear from competition
with the islands as result Of lower
duties on Philippine tobacco.
In Connecticut, Mr.. Taft said, 1.700
pounds of tobacco was raised on an
acre; Pennsylvania raised 400 pounds
and the Philippines only 395 pounds.
Few of the cigars made in the Philip
pines were Of high enough grade to
sell in the United States and the good
cigars made In Manila were manufac-
tured by such we'll paid labor that the
cost Of their production was almost
equal to the cost Of an equal grade in
The United States.

MA SYSTEM CONTROLS CON-
PETING LINES.
GOVERNOR OF THAT STATE Al.
LEGEs DISCRIMINATION By
COAL ROADS.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Mr Tulman,
IA the senate, referred to a petition
previously presented by him from the
Red Rock Fuel company of West Vir-
gtnia complaining that the Baltimore
and Ohio company had refused to per-
NIT that company to connect its tracks
with those OF the Baltimore and Ohio
thus, as Mr.. Tillman expressed 1t,
"bottling up the company"
He said that at the time Mr.. Ellins
had said there was a remedy under
the state laws of West Virginia. He
then presented letter from Governor
Dawson of West Virginia complaining
Of the difficulty in administering the
laws. The governor added:
1T may be that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company does not legally
own a controlling part of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad company, or
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
company, or the Norfolk and Western
Railway company, but have no doubt
that an investigation will show that
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
practically controls these three great
trunk lines, which traverse West Vir-
ginia and which are the only means
whereby the products of this state,
including coal, can be shipped to either
the lakes In the West or other mar
kets In the East.
In the Grasp of a Trust.
Hence 1t is a fact that West Vir.
ginia today Is In the grasp Of rail-
road trust, which practically says
what part of the state shall be de-
veloped and what shall not be devel-
oped, how much coal shall be shipped
out Of the state, to what points or
parts 1t shall be shipped and when 1t
shall be shipped. Of course 1t makes
its own rates and we are helpless.
The Pennsylvania railroad is very
largely interested In the production or
shipment Of bituminous coal; 1t will
naturally look after its own interests
and the interests OF the people along
its lines In Pennsylvania and else
where first of all and therefore the in
terests of West Virginia are subor.
dinated to the interests of these 9TH
ers and our railroads, upon which we
are dependent, are controlled by an
alien corporation practically in COM
petition with U.S."
The governor concluded by request
Ing an official investigation into the
state OF affairs and Mr.. Tillman said
that he would move for such an in.
vestigation but for the fact that the
house was moving in that direction.
He said that, as the letter came from
the Republican governor OF the state.
1t was Of transcendent Importance and
he did not see how an investigation
could be refused and, unless the house
should move In that matter, he would
ask the senate to order an inquiry.

HOUSE Ie NEARLY UNANIMOUS
IN FAVOR OF RATE REGU-
LATIoN MEASURE.
OPPOSITION CONES FROM REPUBLICANS
ONLY NEGATIVE VOTES CAST EY
MEMBERS OF TnE PHE3i-
DENTS PARTY,

Washington, Feb. 9.-The house
Anring the day passed the Hepburn
railroad rate bill by vote of 346 to Z.
Those voting against the bill were
all Republicans. They were Little,
field lMe), Mccall and Weeks
(Mass.), Perkins, Southwick and Vree-
land (N Y) and Sibley (Pa.).
Mr.. Sullivan (Mass.) voted pres
ent" and was not paired. There were
twenty eight members paired, but
these pairs were generally political
ones None Of them was made on the
bill and consequently did not indicate
opposition.
The Hepburn bill, as passed, gives
the interstate commerce commission
authority. when rate has been COM
planned of as unreasonable by a
shipper, to investigate that rate, state
whether or not it Is unreasonable and,
II found to be unreasonable, to name
q rate which Is to be just and reason
able and fairly remunerative, which
is to be the maximum rate to be
charged.
This rate SO fixed Is to go into effect
thirty days after 1t is announced by
the commission, subject during that
time to be set aside or suspended by
the commission or by the courts. After
It has gone into effect it Is to remain
the rate for three years.
Another important feature is the
definition of the word railroad" and
Transportation" In a manner to in
clude all auxiliary instrumentalities OF
the common carrier and to bring them
within the control of the commission.
This power to name reasonable rate
and the inclusion of the auxiliaries
within the jurisdiction Of the commits
sion are said to be the new features.
All other provisions are notifications
Of existing law. They include pub.
licity OF railroad methods, which is to
be aided by prescribing system OF
bookkeeping, and enlarging the COM
mission to seven members and In
creasing salaries of members to $10,-
900 year.
