Pennsylvania Calls a Halt.

The start in the attempt to take the State of Pennsylvania away from the State organization was made when the resolution was introduced in the house Monday indors- ing the Presidents stand against corpora tions and the railroads and commenting him for all he has done in that direction Although professing loyalty to the Presi- dent, it Is understood that those Republican politicians who control things in the Key stone State will never permit this resolu- ton to come to a vote. Following the tac- tics pursued in the United States Senate when unwelcome legislation is proposed this resolution will be permitted to sleep peacefully in committee.
 Going a little farther East in the roll of States, the opposition to these resolutions of approval becomes mode pronounced. The sentiment" did not crystalline very well in Connecticut where Republicanism is sup posed toAbe such that anything done by a Republican leader will meet with instant approvalS In the Legislature of this State a resolution was offered yesterday indorsing the President in the position he had assum- ed in his controversy with Hartman The Republican leader in the assembly. howev- CT, objected on the ground that there were enough "live issues at home without going afield As such resolution came under the designation of new business. there were not enough votes to secure its admission and the proposition failed.

A Life Convict Escapes:

From the plantation of W. D. Mo Curdy near Lowndesboro, ~ Lowndes county, yesterday afternoon. there es- capad a negro convict named Charlie Nelson. A reward of $100 for his cap ture has been offered and several peo- pie are searching the woods for the negro, who Is a desperate character.
 Charlie Nelson was convicted In tne courts of this county about three years ago for murder. The charge was prov en against him and he received iire sentence. The negro's career has been a checkered one and 1t is the belief that he will not be taken alive. Some years ago he killed a negro man and later a white man named Charles Summers who lived a few miles across the river from here.
 After the murder of the white man, Nelson was located in this city and an attempt was made to arrest him but ne managed to escape but was traced to little negro house about two nnndrea wards across the river. At that time' I IT. Lumpkin was sheriff of Dallas County and a posse was organized ana started across the river to capture the murderer. When this little house was reached, just about dark, the negro onened fire upon the sherifts posse and quite a number of shots were e~- changed.
 Tn the battle, which ensued. Ma I,umpkin was critically injured. a nail from the Winchester rifle which the negro was using having entered ms side. The negro finally escaped ana search for him was kept up TOT severaA months before he was finally captur, ed While in jail waiting for the trlal of the case against him, Nelson one oay made a desperate break Tor liberty anu came very near getting away
 Since his conviction ht mas oeen working on MT.

No attention was paid to Ne!soh during the day and he worked un'nter- .,,oteSly in cutting al opening from ata vasterdav aftertoon, his escape

LAST SHIP IN Line.
Admiral Evans Collection of Battle
ships Is Now Complete.

Old Point Comfort, Va, Dec 12.--The
BILE line of Pacific bound battleships
was filled when the heavily armored
Minnesota the flagship of Rear Adj
m1ral Thomas, steamed into Hampton
Roads and took her place at the head
of the outward column. The Minnesota
is the ranking member of the second
squadron, and Admiral Thomas, who
commands this squadron, has duties
and responsibilities second only to those
of the cOmmander-in-chief Rear Ad-
miral Evans. The size and dignity of
the fleet that is to carry the flag
through the Magellan straits and add
such an important new chapter to
American naval history is best empha-
sized by the fact that no less than four
rear admirals are in command The
battle at Santiago found a commodore
and captain temporarily assigned to
flag rank as the commanding officers
of the American forces Dewey sailed
into Manila bay as commodore.
The Minnesota made a 1efsurely voy-
age down from the Brooklyn navy yard
during which compasses were adjusted
chronometers regulated and various
other matters of supreme marine i'm
portance were attended to.
The last su-nlies of food and ammu-
milton were being placed aboard the
filled with craft of every description.
Each incoming steamer of commerce
from New York, Baltimore and Wash
ington brings freight for the fleet and
the immense government pier always is
a scene of the greatest activity Local
merchants of this vicinity also have
their hands full in carrying out con-
tracts for supplies. Most of the fresh
vegetables and fruit have been put
aboard since the vessels arrived here
One OF the most interesting items in
the list of accommodating supplies is an
evidence of the sweet tooth of the sail
or man. Great boxes of taffy and 9TH
er candies were piled UP on the dock
today consigned to various ships. They
are to be placed in what the sailors
call the ''denatured canteen." It is a
tribute to the thoughtful solicitude of
the government for the wants of the
men that on one of the supply vessels
$4,000 pounds of high grade chocolate
bonbons have been stored. This is to
be drawn upon in case the canteen can
dies on ship are exhausted before the
cruise ends.
That the ships are ready to set sail
and that all the more serious work of
preparation has been accomplished is
shown by the shore liberty given the
sailors each afternoon when football
games between teams from the various
ships and sometimes with the artillery
men at the post are played. The Kan
sas team defeated the Kentucky eleven
and the Vermont players beat the AL
ALBANIA after the liveliest of struggles.
Several hundred bluejackets from the
conteSting ships were ashore and head
ed by their bands marched from the
pck to the fort. The contests were
s ,rrounded by all the features of col
le ge games. The ships crews have
their individual flags and yells and
they go into the sport with all the ex-
uberance of undergraduates.
A ball at the Chamberlain last night
was one of the first of several features
planned for navy farewell week

Misfortunes of This Family Seem to

severe bruises.
Mrs. Ammo had been in Topeka

Keith was called and made a record
breaking night trip over unknown
country roads. He made the trip and
set Mrs. Amos arm in less than IS

developed which proved conclusively
that certain parties of men had form
ed partnerships and raised capital with
the express view of cheating the In
dams out of their lands. In this con-
nection the report will mention certain
names and charge that there were
through fraudulent practices secured at
an expenditure of not over $40, 600, lands
aggregating in value s250,00 Some of
the men named, the report will say,
were not actively at work among the
Indians, but they were found to have
furnished funds for the alleged cor
rupt dealing. The committee also found
evidence of corrupt Mexican officials
and bankers in that region; it also
found that names of Indians had been
forged to a large number of deeds and
checks.
A favorite method of securing lands
at a cheap price from the Indians
seemed to have been to pay fair sums
of money for them, present this money
dams and then draw it back by forged
checks. One Indian, the report will
state, was arrested on a charge of muir
der and released after he had agreed
to sell certain strip of his land, worth
SIS, 900, for $4,000 The deed in the
transaction showed that several pieces
of lands had been included in the de-
scriptiOn and the Indian was made to
sign it without knowing it's true con-
tents. The report will show that great
deal of brutal treatment was accorded
the Indians by the parties in question.
Special mention will be made of Incl
dents at MuzqueZ where Indian women
were subjected to outrageous treat
ment and insult.
The subcommittee will meet and agree
upon the recommendation it will make
to the senate when the report is filed.

TO DODGE The TRUSTS.
Working People VIII Found Colony
on an Island.

New York, Dec. 12.-Five hundred
Americans, Germans, Irish, Swedes
and Russians, including Clergymen,
butchers, statesmen, DoOkkeeperS.
stenographers, printers and carpen-
tiers, will leave New Y ork on the Is It'll
of next month for San Francisco.
There will be sailors in the party, too,
for the 500 are to go away from that
port in a bark to seek homes in the
south Pacific ocean, or rather in one
of the islands that dot portions of it.
Back of the expedition is Elmer S.
Prather, pres dent of the Modern Sci
ence Publishing company. Mr.. Pra-
seems, becoming convinced that the
wage Garner was gradually becoming
weaker and the trust and the COM
binations were growing stronger, he
decided to start a South sea colony.
So he discussed the matter with
friends and then started to carry out
the plan. with the result that up to
date 47S members have been accepted.
Only $500 is required to participate in
the enterprise, the entire amount to
be put in a common fund to institute
e cooperative colony in some island
in the South Pacific.
When the proper island is found
everyone will settle down to business.
Everyone who can, will be expected
everyone may have four weeks vaca-
ton a year. The colony will be nom
sectarian and the form of govern
ment that of a republic, with a presi-
dent elected every year. He viii
choose his cabinet, but there will be
no secretary of war. Shredded cocoa
nut will be the chief product of the
colony, but the members may make a
try at tobacco raising and other crops
suitable to the climate.

STILL DIGGING SNOW.
LOO Men Have Been at 1t in Chicago
Since 1905.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Far-reaching eff
fects of the great snow s.urm of Janu-
airy, 1905, were uncovered last night
by the city civil service commission.
The most interesting facts discovered
was that LOO street laborers still are
employed by the city for the removal
of that remarkable snowfall Not
withdrawing the scientific interest
developed the commission unanimous
ly decided that from reasons of
economy, new rule be enacted limit
ing to five days the period for which
emergency street cleaning laborers
may be employed in Chicago.
According to the records those l.
100 emergency laborers were kept
pegging away at the removal of that
snow all through the campaign for the
election of Mayor Edward F. Dunno
and all through his administration
Curiously enough, the number of men
required for the removal of snow
rose to 1900 in July.

New York Stock Market.

Wall St., New York, Dec. 12.-STOCKS-
The stock market opened strong and ac-
tive with a heavy demand for the princi-
pal railway stocks. A block of 5000 shares
of Union Pacific was sold at from 1854 to
117N compared with 1855, yesterdays
close. Reading moved up rs points on
the purchase of 5000 shares. The Hill
stocks were over points higher. Sugar
opened at par, a rise of rs points, and
St Paul. Atchison, Pennsylvania, South

improved from l to IA points
The initial rise in prices was awaited of
to dispose of stocks that have been wait
ing a market and this coupled with bear
selling of several of the specialties, sent
prices down rapidly. The industrials
showed the most weakness. Amalgamated
Copper, American Smelling and American
Sugar sold from Is to * point below yes

the advance in the standard railroad
railroad stocks and ST. Paul and Missouri
Pacific sold fractionally below last night.
Canadian Pacific, Delaware and Hudson
and Colorado Southern second preferred

Speculation became very quiet. The
eeasier tone of the call money rates had
a strengthening effect, but the market ran
Off again and reached it's low point. Mis-
souri, Pacific fell ~ points.
Bonds were steady.
All of the early energy and snap died
oout of the market and speculation be-
came listless and embarrassing.
Prices hardened slowly later and some
active stocks again sold from l to ia
points above yesterdays closing.
