The state capitol commission le

The state capitol commission left
Pierre Saturday ON their way to the
Black Hills to. look over the quarries in
that part OF the state to size up their
possibilities in the way of supplying the
material and the amount requil ed for
the new state capitol building. The
commission generally ia favorable to
South Dakota material IL ii can be se-
cured inside Of bids to compete with
equally - good material from other
states In which the South Dakota quar-
rymen are given per cent preferential
under the law. The Hot Springs white
sandstone sis considered to be a fine
building stone. and . structure OF that
stone would make fine appearance, set
uEon . basement of Sioux Falls granite.
Whether such combination can be se-
cured depends upon the bidders. and
they say their bids depend upon what
the quarrymen can show them. The
commission will, on its return from the
Black BILLS, look over the granite
quarries In the southeaatarn part Of the
state.

LUMBER TRUST.
Attorney General Clark Obeys
instruction of Legislature
to Prosecute.

Pierre, April 14-When rumors
reached here that the state administra-
tion had commenced proceedings
against the lumber trust consterna-
tion was visible everywhere among the
adneraats to the old railway machine
In stores Offices and on the street,
groups of men were discussing the sub
ject with apparent animation, and
former Office holders were very angry
over what they said to be impudence
Of the state administration to try, at
this late hour, to attempt to take away
the glcry from the former boss (Scna-
tor Kittredge) for having started the
investigation of the lumber trust.
Attorney General Clark and Govern
or Crawford were asked for an explain
alton. Attorney General Clark said
emphatically that he knew nothing
whatever of any conference at Huron
of the administration leaders as report
ed in the personal. organ of Senator
Kittredge; and Governor Crawford.
while refusing to be interviewed on the
subject, said, smiling, that no such
conference was, to his knowledge, held
in Huron or anywhere else. Being ask
ed If the attorney general contemplated
taking such steps as reported in the
Sioux Falls paper, he answered that the
attorney general had been instructed by
the late state Legislature to investigate
the alleged lumber trust in the state,
and to institute such proceedings as he
deemed neces ary, and he would, of
course, carry out the will Of the peo-
pies representatives. Besides, the re-
publican state platform on which ha
was elected declared in favor of placing
lumber on the free list From this it
will be seen that Senator Kittredge has
little glory coming on account of his
utterances concerning the lumber trust.
He was silent as sphinx when the re-
publican party, in state convention as
ssmbled, fearlessly took a bold stand
against an alleged lumber trust.

BAD TREATMENT FEARED
China Opposes immigration to the
Canal Zone.

Washington, April 16.-The emigra-
tion of Chinese coolies from their own
country to Panama and Colombia as
laborers is not desired by the Chinese
government. according to mail adyices
received here City Magistrate Wang
at Shanghai, under the instruction of
the yiceroy of Nanking, has issued a
proclamation forbidding natives from
going to Panama or Colombia because
these countries have no treaty with
China
1t is believed by officials here that
the action taken in China to discour-
age coolies from going to the isthmus
is the result of advices from Chinese
merchants on the isthmus and in the
United States that the coolies would
not be well treated as canal laborers.
