VESSEL ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
HARBOR WITH HER FUNNEL
FLAT ON THE DECK.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The Hamburg
American line steamer Valdivia, fruit
laden from the West Indies, came into
port with her forward decks shattered,
her funnel fiat upon the deck and the
story of a boiler explosion on board
last Wednesday morning Which caused
the instant death of seven members
of the crew and the serious injury Of
another. The exploding boiler was
known as the auxiliary and supplied
steam to the various hoisting engines,
capstans. steering gear, etc. The
dead are: Fourth Engineer j. Stein

lcoiored).
When of Hatteras last Wednesday
1t was decided to turn steam from
tho auxiliary boiler into the main
steampipes to help out In making the
speed necessary to contract require
ments and to save the perishable
cargo. All through the loading ports
in the West Indies, it Is said, tho
auxiliary boiler had been working
with eighty to 100 pounds of steam,
whereas just before the explosion &C.
Cured the steam gauge showed a
pressure of only thirty-five pounds.
This was being increased by forced
draught when suddenly there came a
puff" and seven men lay dead.
When the explosion occurred the
steamer stopped and everybody rushed
to the rescue Of the injured. The
dead were SO mangled that 1T was
with difficulty that the bodies were
secured All of the lifeboats were
damaged, one SO smashed that it was
thrown overheard. The smokestack
fell down to the deck, but was Sc
cured The vessel came in under her
own steam, as the general machinery
was not affected, except that the loss
of the smokestack interfered with the
draught.

CALL sT DISCRIMINATION.
Custom Of Furnishing Operators tc
Big Concerns.

Omaha, Feb. 1S-The Interstate
commerce commission is to investi-
gate the relationship between the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies on one side and the pack
lnghouses, grain firms and other busi-
which have heretofore had special
telegraph wires and special operators
furnished them. During the morning
all through wires of this description
were discontinued and only pony
wires. running from these Offices into
the main telegraph Office, were left.
The operators manning these wires
from the packinghouse ends are now
employed by the packinghouses and
not by the telegraph companies. The
said to have taken the position that
furnishing these large customers OF
the telegraph companies with facili-
lies denied the smaller customers was
In fact discrimination and an investi-
cation Is demanded.
In the packinghouses every through
wire which was not actually leased by
them was pulled out of commission
and the packinghouses forced to have
their kilograms relayed at the main
telegraph office. Similar action has
been taken at all business houses
which had been furnished with
through wires for their business.

State Department Taking No Steps ls
Japanese Question.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The state de-
partment is awaiting the disposition
by congress Of the pending immigra-
ton bill before proceeding further
with the consideration of the Japa-
nese exclusion question. If the bill
Is enacted into law an immediate eff
fort will be made to come to formal
agreement with the Japanese govern
ment that will insure the continuance
of the present policy Of that govern
ment of Withholding passports to Jap
anese laborers. So far as the pending
legislation Is concerned it Is stated
that there Is every reason to believe
that 1t will be acceptable to the Japa-
nese government; at any rate, there
has not yet been the faintest sign Of
disapproval In that quarter.
An interesting fact that has devel-
oped In the discussion OF the respec-
tive rights of state and nation where
treaties are involved Is that In at least
one case the California courts have
taken the most advanced grounds in
favor of the supremacy of the treaties,
holding that the treaty rights Of aliens
to possess real estate could not be
destroyed by a state law.

STATE RIGHTS INSISTED ON

Of School Question.


Washington. Feb. 18.-"The Califor-
mia committee. which came here to
confer with the president on the yapa-
nese question. has not conceded any
Of its rights. State sovereignty was
absolutely insisted upon." declared
Mayor Schmitz Of San Francisco Yet.
he said, complete agreement had
been reached on all points Of differ
ence', the only thing remaining to be
done being the incorporation by con.
gress OF the exclusion amendment into
the immigration bill. As matters
stand now, he said, all parties will be
satisfied.
Mayor Schmitz declared that the
discussion with the president took the
form Of ON endeavor to arrive at q
middle ground and this. he said, had
been done. State rights were strongly
adhered TO-" he said, and ic this con.
nection he reiterated his declaration
that there never had been considered
any proposition looking to the estab-
lishment OF separate Japanese schools
There was no intention, he said, to
abolish the Oriental schools. which
Orientals. Asiatics and Mongolians
had been In the habit Of attending for
the past twenty years.

ONE ARREST Is MADE.
Fret act In Prosecution of Alleged
Furniture Trust.

Furniture Trust.
Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Frederick A. Hol-
brook, manufacturers agent, has
been arrested by Deputy United States
Marshal Griffith on federal warrant
charging him with conspiracy to vic.
late the Sherman antitrust law in
dealing in church furniture.
Holbrook is ch =. of an asso-
citation of manuf ~ which Is al
legged by the go aent officials to
act as trust In 4olling prices OF
school and churct .rniture. The ar
rest was made ul complaint OF
Harry B. Duncan, cal agent of the
department OF justice, who has for
some time been investigating the
workings Of the alleged combination
For the last two weeks the conduct
of the business Of making and selling
school and church furniture has been
the subject of inquiry by the federal
grand jury now In session. Witnesses
have been summoned from all parts
of the country to testify regarding
their experiences with the alleged
trust. No indictments have as yet
been returned and the arrest Of Hol-
brook is the first direct act by the
government officials promising active
prosecution.
1t Is claimed by the government
officials that they have been told by
witnesses during the present investi.
cation that a large number OF the
plants In the country which make
school or church furniture are in a
so-called "gentlemans agreement" by
virtue of which competition Is con.
trolled and prices established. 1t is

oBJECT TO PROPOSED REsTRIc-
TloN ON IMMIGRATION FROM
THAT COUNTRY.
PUBLIC OPINION STRONGLY ADVERSE
GOVERNMENT MAY NOT AGREE
TO A SETTLEMENT ON THE
PLAN OUTLINED.

Toxic, Feb. 1S.-The projected
amendments to the American immi-
grafton law involving restriction on
Japanese labor immigration to the
. United States from the Hawaiian ISL
ands are naturally received here with
great displeasure, but the we'll in
formed fail, under existing circum.
stances, to find grounds for complaint
at this action of the American gov
ernment. The council of elder states
men and cabinet ministers showed no
concern whatever over the diplomatic
situation.
Public opinion Is decidedly opposed
to a solution Of the problem on the
basis outlined No official statement
has yet been made on this subject,
but 1t is generally admitted that the
plan Will arouse strong opposition
throughout the Japanese empire. The
relations between the federal govern
ment at Washington and the govern
ments Of the various states of the
Union are not well understood here
and a restriction of the admission Of
laborers would be looked upon as an
unwarranted concession in the face of
the treatment Of which the Japanese
in San Francisco complain. The linn
tied few who are well posted on the
actual state Of affairs are not excited
and even they do not see why the
San Francisco school difficulty could
not be solved apart from the labor
question. An appeal couched In
strong words has been cabled here
from the Japanese in San Francisco
asking for national support In solving
the San Francisco controversy by re-
stricting the admission Of laborers
into the United States. In view of
the state of public feeling here 1t
would not be surprising II the Japa-
nese government did not agree to a
settlement on the basis Of the restric-
tion of the immigration Of Japanese
to the United States.

ON cIRCuMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE
Tennessee Physician Convicted OF
First Deuree Murder.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 1s.-Dr. Her.
man f. Feist, charged with the mur.
der Of Mrs. Ross Mangrum, was found
guilty OF murder In the ofirst degree.
The verdict carries with It the death
penalty. Mrs. Mangrum, who had
been under the care of DIR. Feist, dis
appeared on Dec. 19, 1905, and her
body was found In the Ohio river at
Cairo, H.. on Jan. rs, 1906. A few
days before the disappearance of Mrs.
Mangrum she drew s1.400 from local
bank and announced that she was 60
ing to Chicago. The evidence against
DR.. Feist was purely circumstantial,
the most salient features being that
he deposited in local bank the sum
OF $500 few days after the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Mangrum.

FROM GEORGIA TO CHICAGO
STATE OWNED RAILROAD LINE
PROPOSED BY GOVERNOR
HOKE SMITH.

Chicago. Feb. 18.--A proposition to
establish state owned railroad from
Chicago to Savannah, Ca, was sug-
gested to Corporation Counsel Lewis
by Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia
In a letter just received. Governor
Smith declared that such fine would
reduce freight rates and would have
a great influence on the trade rela-
tions with the South. The letter
says:
81 am much interested In the rail-
road rates from the lakes to Georgia.
Our state owns a railroad from At.
lanta to Chattanooga and there Is a
strong sentiment In favor Of extend
ing 1t to Savannah. Ii Cincinnati
could reclaim control of the line built
by It's citizens from Cincinnati to Chat
tanooga and Cincinnati and Chicago
struction of line from Chicago to
Cincinnati there might be made a
through trunk line from Chicago to
Savannah, operated solely for the pur-
pose of paying expenses and interest
on the actual cost Of construction
without the burdens of watered stocks
and bonds
"Such line would prove beneficial
not only to the great cities through
which 1t passed but to broad terri
tory adjacent to the line. 1t would re-
duce freight rates more than 25 per
cent. 1t would have a most marked
..of1uence on our trade relations"
