 New York. March 2.--The Times to- morrow will say:
 Because of the adoption of laws com polling the railroads to carry passen- gers for not more than cents a mile in the States of Ohio and Indiana, the eighteen hour trains operated by the Pennsylvania and New York Central Railroad between New York and Chi cago may be withdrawn. There Is a bill before the Illinois Legislature fix- ing the same low rate. and if 1t be- comes law. the railroads will be all lowed $1S.24 single trip between New York and Chicago.
 Under an operating agreement tho two companies charge the same fare on their fastest trains It is now fixed at S30 for each passenger and in addi- tion the traveller is compelled to pur- chase a Pullman ticket. for which $5 Is charged.
 At the offices of the New York Cen- traI yesterday it was explained that the increased expense in the operation for the fast trains made it impossible to carry passengers at the 2-eent rate and at present the question is being de- bated by the officers of both lines. It is certain that the fast trains will b0 withdrawn if it Is found that the com panies canot charge more than the g. cent rate.

 There were twenty-seven chambers in the district, affected by the explos- ion with two men in each Chamber.

 They are nearly all foreigners Al ail events. if there were any men m the affected district who have not been al yeady taken out. they are dead beyond all doubt, according to the mine ofii- cials as the black damp following the explosion would asphyxiate them.
 No search of the mine could be made as the explosion destroyed all the air courses in the affected territory and made it impossible for any one to reach it. Consequently. no search Tor the

 PET MEASURE Ship Subsidy Falls by
 Wayside. DEMOCRATS ARE PERSISTENT Senator's Block All Efforts to Rush
 Bill Through. RcpubIicans Realize that Determined Action at This Late Hour of Session Win Ruin Chances
 of BiH.
DEMOCRATS ARE PERSISTENT

Washington. March 2.-Theie will be no ship subsidy legislation during the present session of Congress. This fact was practically conceded by all when the Senate supporters of the subsidy bill agreed late today to allow the subject to go over until tomorrow.
 The failure of the measure will he due to the opposition of Democratic Senators, which was so pronounced as 10 cause them to engage fin a filibuster for more than an hour 10 prevent con- sideration of tho measure at todRys session.
 The position of Democratic Senators was made known to their Republican colleagues early today. Several of them held an informal conference on the floor of the Senate and after decide ing that the bill should not pass tn its present shape. they instructed their caucus leader, Senator Blackburn. to convey this information to the Repub- lican leaders. The Republicans were. therefore. well aware of the probable fate of the bill when, at 1:a0 o'clock. Senator Gallinger, who has charge of the bill when 1t was before the Senate called the measure tip and moved to concur in the House amendments.
 This motion was immediately met by a counter motion to postpone the com sideratfon until tomorrow. and when it was voted down various other motions all of a dilatory character, were intro duced by Democratic Senator's and. notwithstanding they were alI defeated, It was perfectly understood that the determined opposition at so late an hour in the session meant the ultimate defeat Of the measure unless euch agreement could be reached.
 After this episode a cessation of has tilities until o'clock was made and when the subject was again brought up at that hour it was Immediately made apparent that no nrogress hnd been made towards the harulonizinE of the differences between the frisnds and opponents of the measure. &sn0~ l tor Galiinger Afaenz suggested far@ t1hsr poetponenent of the effor tp aa- | tain action until tomorrow ~ lA o'clock All agreed to this postpOne- l ment and the Senate will meet accord ipgly tomorrow to take up tho suo- Ject.

REMOVES COTTON Fuz.
One of the Most Important Devices In
 History of Culture.

One of the Most Important Devices In
 History of Culture.
 Washington, March Zone of the most important devices in the history of cotton culture practically has been perfected by experts of the Department of Agriculture.
 It is a machine for the removal of the fuz on cotton seed and for the sep- aration of light from heavy seed. The process has been in course of develop ment for about two years and it is the opinion of the cotton experts of the departments that it's universal use would affect saving of about 10 per cent. of the entire cotton croP. As the crop of America amounts to about S750 900 0O00, 1t easily can be realized that such a saving would be of vast importance.
 By the removal of the fuz from the cotton seed the seed may be planted with an ordinary gravity drill. By the ease with which the smooth seed can be manipulated, they can be planted in hills without unnecessary waste and the plants so located can be tiled In two directions.
 The machine. it Is stated, can be made at very small expense and az inc invention is in the hands of tho Gov ernment, cotton planters who use II Will have to pay no royalty for 1t.

wiIL NEVER
 GET TO JURY Jerome Fears Unwritten
 Law. WANTS LUNACY COMMISSION Thaw Calls on His Attorneys tc
 Stand Firm. Has Never Feared Electric Chair, But stands in AbJect Horror of
 Asylum for the Grim
 inaIIy Insane.

New York, March 2.--The Thaw trial
 enters it's seventh week on Monday. and 1t would seem that unless some radical change in the course of proce-
 dure occurs. it will be at least two. weeks, and possibly three, before the | jury renders a verdict.
 That District Attorney Jerome has
 no intention of letting the case ever
 go to the jury if he can possibly pre-. vent it, there appears to be no longer tho semblance of doubt. The prose- cutor has made 1t perfectly plain that with the consent of the defense he would gladly have the matter come be- 1 fore a commission in 1unacy rather than before a court of law.
 MT. Jerome does not believe that 1 Thaw is in a proper condition of mind to be on trial Time after time when MT. Delnas, the leading attorney for the defense, has interrupted him dur l ing his cross-examination of witnesses with objections of various kinds. MT
 Jerome has retorted hotly, You forced | me Into this."
 The District Attorney especially had 1 no taste for the cross-examination of 1 Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. He endeavored to avoid 1t by having the experts testify l first, hoping to gain from them enough | admissions as to Thaw's present state 1 of mind on which to predicate an ap- | klOu TOT q EpIfiki1SStOn m lunaCY and the suspension of the trial. MT. Jerome realizes that he must be sure of his ground before asking for com | mission, and he consequently will not 1 take that step until some of tho States aIienists have gone upon the stand. Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton. who was employed for a time by the de- | fense and who visited Thaw in the
 Tombs, is expected to be the most im- | portant expert witness for the prose- cution. Dr. Hamilton is known to have expressed the opinion that Thaws tn- sanity was Of lasting character.
 Mir. Jerome was laying the founda-
 ton for Dr. Hamiltons testimony l when adjournment was taken Friday afternoon. He asked Dr. Evans if pr Hamilton was not regarded highly as RI authority on nervous diseases. Df Evans refused to answer and Justice
 Fitzgerald took tho point under consid- eration.
 Tho Judge also reserved decision on I the question raised by MT Jerome as I to whether or not he should be permit
 ted to quote exom various medical
 works as to the effects of various l mental diseases. Thaw seems nppre-
 hensive of his fate only as it relates | to an asylum for the criminal insane. l The thought of the electric chair has never once entered his mind. He has l been m constant IeaIs hoWeNei' thd' ! there might be conspiracy" to 'raii- | road" him off to an asylum. Within l the last two days the defendant has I called upon his attorneys for an as- | surance that they would not enter in-
 to an agreement with the District Att ] torney for the appointment of com | mission. They gave him their promise | to fight to the utmost to have the case l passed upon by the present jury Dr | Britton D. Evans will go on the stand l again Monday morning.
