A Providence girl, who has been
married about six months, had we'd
ding cards a short time ago from an
old school friend who had given her a
wedding present, which, Of course, de-
manded one in return. Among her
wedding presents the Providence girl
had duplicates in the shape of two Sill

omy she decided to give one OF these
to her friend. It was marked with her
own initials, but 1t would be only a

removed and the proper monogram cut

PRESIDENT WILL DECIDE.
Question of Attempt to Break Up Har-
riman Combine.


Washington, April 18.-President
Roosevelt proposes to take into his
own hands the determination as to
whether an attempt shall be made to
break up the Hartman railroad COM
bination and has come to the conclu-
sion that it is his duty to study the
case from beginning to end.
The president has been placed in a
position of antagonism to Mr.. Harri-
man and on that account he is partic-
ularly DESTROYS that no step should
be taken by any department of the
government in such a way as to leave
the impression that it was the result
of personal hostility on the part of the
president himself ~
TO satisfy himself as to the exact
situation the president proposes to
read all the testimony taken by the
interstate commerce commission on
this subject. Then he will have a
conference with Attorney General
Bonaparte and will ask the head of
the department Of Justice to apply to
the facts the president submits to him
the general law in the case and par
ticularly that laid down by the United
States supreme court in the Northern
Securities case. .-
All this will take time and it will
involve an immense amount of per-
sonal labor on the part of President
Roosevelt,

minai Rate Hearing.
Portland, Ore, April ia sensa-
ton resulted in the Spokane terminal
rate hearing before Interstate Com

intervention was filed by J. N. Teale,
attorney for Portland jobbing inter-

the action. The petition asks a radi-

points to the interior and alleges that
present freight charges are exorbitant
and unjust.
Commissioner Prouty said he feared
that the petition would introduce a
new issue into the hearing and pre-

revision at this time At the same
time he allowed the petition to be

His Fears Realized.

For years the old country couple had
looked forward to spending a holiday
in London, and one day they found
themselves in the very busiest part of
the city. Together they stood watch
ing the traffic, to which there seemed
no end. They did not know how to
cross the street.
"Whatever you do, Liza, don't git
separated from me-" said the old man
to his wife, ''and, whatever you do
don't cross the road without me-"
Then kindly constable came along
and, seeing the old woman hesitating,
took her by the arm and commenced to
pilot her to the opposite side.

tabIished Clearinghouse.
Chicago, April 18.-After less than a
three months trial the railroads are
considering proposition to abolish
the American railway clearinghouse,
which was established to facilitate the
movement and distribution of freight
cars and to prevent further car short
ages and freight COMPOSITIONS. "
A meeting Of railway presidents has
been called for next Monday to deter
mine what shall be done with the Or
ganization, which was launched with
great hope Of results and which some
roads now declare to be a failure
The threatened end of the clearing
house is said to be caused by the de-
lection of the st. Paul and of the
Northwestern railroads.
The clearinghouse was established
late in January by Arthur Hale, who
was taken from high position on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and given
charge Of the movement. Offices
were secured in the Grand Central
station and now more than eighty
people are employed there. The bu-
reau is costing the railroads approx
mately $4,000 month and some of
them assume to say it has not re-
turned 1 cents month in value.

DEATH LIST IS INCREASING
Details of Mexican Earthquake
Coming in Slowly.

City of Mexico, April 1S-Owing to
the remoteness Of many small towns
In the afflicted regions it will be some
days before the complete reports of
the damage done by the recent earth
shock are all in and the total number
of deaths will probably never be
known.
According to the latest available in
formation from various points in
Southern Mexico, which are yet mea-
ger, the death list as result Of the
recent earthquake will aggregate
thirty-eight persons and the list Of in
jured will total ninety-three, although
when complete reports are received it
Is expected that both the list of dead
and wounded will be greatly aug
mented.
Chilpancingo, with incomplete re-
ports, shows twelve persons dead and
thirty wounded. Chilapa reports four
teen dead and thirty-nine wounded.
Tixtla reports twelve dead and twenty
four wounded.
Besides the destruction Of the cities
Of Chilpancingo and Chilapa it is now
reported that the city of Tixtla, be-
tween the two cities above named and
containing about the same population
as Chilpancingo, was also leveled to
the ground and messengers from the
coast who have reached Chilpancingo
say that the towns Of Ayutla and

Arrest at St. Paul.
PACKAGE OF $25, 1000 GONE
Prisoner Has Been Identified as the
Man Who Held Up the Office, but
He Declares He Knows Nothing Of
the Affair or the Missing Cash.

man, clerk of the Northern Pacific Ex-
press company's Office at the Union
depot was held up and robbed Of $685..

man says the robber was John Gun
derson, former employee of the COM
pany. Gunderson is under arrest, hav-
Ing been captured by detectives sew
eral hours after the robbery
The stolen money has not been re-
covered, but the police hope to soon
get possession of it. The theory is
that the package containing the money
has been planted and that either
the police will soon locate it or that
Gunderson will weaken and disclose
its hiding place. The officials Of the
express company, in company with
Chief O'ConnOr, had an interview with
the prisoner and even promised him
Immunity from prosecution if he would
tell where he had hidden the cash,
but Gunderson denied all knowledge
of the theft, although he has been
identified by Zimmerman as the man
who held him up

PLATFORM OF PEACE
Resolutions Adopted by National
Arbitration Congress.
Permanent COURT FAVORED

Tribunal at The Hague to Be Open at
All Times to the. Nations of the
World for Settlement of Disputes
Not Adjustable by Diplomacy.
New York, April 1S.-The National
Arbitration and Peace congress has
adopted its platform or resolutions,
recommending among other things
that The Hague conference shall here
after be a permanent institution; that
The Hague court shall be open to all
the nations Of the world; that a gen
eral treaty Of arbitration for ratifica-
ton by all the nations shall be draft
ed by the coming conference provid-

court Of international disputes which
cannot be adjusted by diplomacy;
that the United States government
urge upon the conference action look
ing to the limitation of armament;

praise Of President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Root and the prime minister Of
Great Britain, for the stand they have
taken in favor of settled policy OF
peace among the nations.
The resolutions were adopted with a
few minor changes as to wording just
as they came from the committee
which had had their preparation in
charge. There was a debate continu-
ing over two hours, however. Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood of Washington de-
clared that the speakers on the plat
form were trying to have it all their
own way" DR.. Benjamin F. True
blood, chairman of the committee on
resolutions, declared it had been i'm
possible to incorporate in the brief
expression OF the sentiment of the
congress all of the one thousand and
one suggestions and ideas which had
come from various sections of the
country. He said the committee had
tried to adhere strictly to the purposes
for which the congress was called and
to practical ideas on the propaganda
Of peace.

Yet He Didn't Need Them,

He had been calling on a young lady
for many moons; but, being backward,
his suit progressed slowly. Finally she
decided it was up to her to start some
thing, so the next time he called she
pointed to the rose in his buttonhole
and said:
"Ill give you kiss for that rose" A
large, open face blush meandered over
his countenance, but the exchange was
made Then he grabbed his hat and
started to leave the room.
"Why, where are you going?" she
asked In surprise.
'"To the-er-forist for more roses,"
be exclaimed.

TOFORCE RECIPROCITY
Systematic Effort by European
Countries Apparent.
FRANCE TAKES FIRST STEP
Issues Decree Imposing Maximum Du-
ties on Coffee From the United
States and Porto Rico, a Serious
Blow to Our Island Dependency.

Washington, April 1S.--Although
notice of the issue in Paris of decree
imposing the maximum duties on COT
fees imported from the United States
and Porto Rico has not yet reached
the state department the officials were
fully prepared for some such action,
having been informed in the course Of
the correspondence which has been
going on for the past six months that
1t was contemplated. The reason for
the issue of the decree is said to be
dissatisfaction of the French govern
ment at the failure of the United
States senate to act upon the French
reciprocity treaty which has been
pending before that body for several
years. Added to this, it is said, is a
suspicion On the part of the French
government that the negotiations now
In progress between the United States
and Germany relative to the tariff
upon American goods imported into
NO1 CO1lC6dlS SOul0 dAV duLdSS W
be bestowed upon German trade with
the United States in which French
trade is not to share This decree Is
regarded as the beginning Of a sys-
tematic effort to bring such pressure
to bear upon the American congress-,
through the imposition of restrictions
upon the American export trade, as
will force the whole subject of reci-
procity upon it's attention at the be-
ginning of the next session. The state
department officials fear that this
French action is but the precursor of
similar attacks upon American trade
by other nations of Continental Eu-
rope. No serious damage is expected
to result to American trade from this
last decree because there is little traf-
tic In coffee at any time, but 1t Is
feared that the effect will be disas-
trous to Porto Rico, which at present
finds almost it's only market in France
for its coffee now that the Spanish
market is closed by excessive duties.
