HEARD IN PASSING.

The rude architect who says that John D.'s palace at Pocantico Hills is monstrosity has probably injured that gentleman's feelings more than all the declaimers against tainted | money.
 The business of 'frisking" immi- | grants has begun in earnest at Ellis island. To "frisk" a man is to search him for concealed weapons. Friski- ness of this sort is the right sort of activity on the part of the police: | A drawback to the great annual exchange between America and Eu- rope is the fact that the money which goes over there is real, while many of the art treasures which come over here on swap are not. From the fact that we have been hearing of the needs" of Porto Rico ever since we annexed that island some of us begin to think that the prime need of the colony Is to infuse little ginger into its system and get to work.

 An altogether unmodern sentiment seems to pervade the town council of Schaffhausen, which refused to let an electric company destroy its pretty falls of the Rhine in order to produce cheap power for manufacturing.

a fort at all. There are no fortiflca- tions there. only collection of bar racks and officers quarters, most of them excellent models of bad archi- lecture. which anyone is privileged to copy, should he be so i'll advised. Certainly there is nothing there which could be of the slightest use to the Japanese government. More over, military officers in Washington declare that there is nothing which they would seriously object to hav- ing the Japanese sketch, even our Notifications. Japan has in Wash ington, in connection with her eni- bassy. military and naval attache. These men doubtless forward to their government drawings of our battle- ships and Notifications before even the general public has seen them. The United States maintains in con nection with its embassy at Tolsto similar officials, who send all availa- ble information to the military in- formation bureaus in Washington. When JapaEese army or navy ofh- cers come to the United States they are shown our battleships, fortif1ca- tions, gun factories and navy yards, and anything else they may ask to see, except, of course, the plans and military records of the general staff. If any Japanese are so foolish as to make worthless drawings of Ameri- can military posts, say the general officers, it is from some silly idea that they may receive reward from their government, or else, as has been suggested in the. case of Fort sMcPherson, in order that they may send to their military architects some samples of what not to initiate.

The question of sfrailroad rttes, either fixed by the states on trans portation within the state or fixed by the United States on interstate busi- ness must eventually come before the United States supreme court on the question of consututionality. The pressing issue is whether the rate reductions shall go into effect at once, or by injunctions issued by the lower federal courts be post poned until each case is reached and is decided by the highest court. This matter of the railroads being able to take advantage of all the laws de- lays was the contention of the demo- crats when the railroad rate bill was being discussed in the senate, and the CulbeTson amendment. which the republicans defeated, was intended to cure that defect in the law. says an exchange. Regarding the same delay under state legislation the question is one of state rights, and whether the reduced rates eau be held up by injunction of an inferior federal court issued by a judge in evident sympathy with the railroads. when the natural order of procedure would be that the case should go to the state supreme court and thence to the United States supreme court. In the North Carolina cases the rail- roads were forced by Governor Glenn to acknowledge the supremacy of state courts and the reduced rate hss already gore into effect.

The attention of the public Is called to the fact that owing to the extended period of dry weather 1t is necessary to be as saving as possible with the city water.
 All leaking fixtures should be re- paired at ouee and all waste of water stopped.
 SprinkliGg should be done vita care and within the proper hours, and the excessive use of water in this manner should be avoided. The rule regarding sprinkling will be strictly enforced from this date.
 Rule 10. The regular water rents for streets, sidewalk or garden sprinkling will be based upon such use only for dust-laying and sprink- ling purposes fairly applied. and any excessive Or unreasonable use for these or other purposes is prohibited. No hose shall be used for street. side walk or garicn sprinkling except be- tween the hours of p. m. and a. m. and between 1880 and 2:30 p. n., nor under any circumstances for more than two hours in any one day, and each person paying for the use of water must confine himself to his own premises and the street directly in front of the same.

The question of water rights pr
 interstate streams will be one of sthe most important discussions at the coming session of the national irri- gation congress. Dr Elwood Mead
 who is an authority on irrigation laws, is the chairman of the com mittee which was charged by the last congress with the duty of reporting to the coming session, recouinienda- tions looking to the. settlement of questions that are constantly arising with reference to interstate waters. Dr Mead has been very active. in bringing this matter before men who are prominently identified with irri- gation development, especially in those states where the question of interstate rights is asserfous one, and without question the presentation of his report to the congress will pre- cipitate one of the liveliest debates Of the session. Among those who will participate will be men who contend that the national government should exercise jurisdiction over in- terstate waters and others who adyo- cate the right of the individual states to the control of fwaters- within their boundaries. Since this committee was appointed the United States su- preme court has passed upon the now famous Kansas-Colorado case, and this action has given an added impetus to constructive thought on this subject. ..-. ~-.-. -....

KIDNAPPED BABE Is FOUND
INFANT STOLEN FROM MlNNEAP.
OILS az NURSE FOUND IN
SUPERIOR.

Minneapolis, May %. - Safe and
sound in an an orphanage at Superior,
Wis. the infant daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Erwin Glauque of Minneapolis,
who was stolen by its nurse last
Thursday, was found last night.
The tiny little girl, who since her
birth last Sunday has occasioned
more excitement and suspense than
any grown-up in the state, was left at
the orphanage by the nurse known as
Bessie" but who has been identified
as Annie Oostroski.
Deserted by her husband, she had
given her own little daughter to
kind-hearted Duluth couple. From
Duluth she went recently to Minneap-
oils, where she sought to hide her
identity by assuming different names.
The name of her husband who desert
ed her was not known to the person
who cleared up the mystery OF the
nurses identity.
Superior, Wis, May 2S.-The nurse
was at house in the center of the
city here. She did not appear to real
ize what she had done and made no
resistance when she was arrested.

GOVERNMENTS WAR on STAND.
ARD OIL IS OPENED UP IN
ST. PAUL.
HEARING on THE EXCEPTIONS
KELLOGG DEFENDS POINTS MADE
IN THE COMPLAINT OF THE
GOVERNMENT. f.

St. Paul, May 26.-An important le-
gal battle in the governments war
against the Standard Oil monopoly
was fought yesterday in the United
States circuit court sitting in st. Paul.
The bill of exceptions to the govern
ment's complaint was argued before
the four judges of the Eighth judicial
circuit, the arguments lasting a little
less than four hours. The judges,
Sanborn, Hook, Van Devanter and
Adams, took the matter under advise
ment, and there was no intimation as
to when their decision will be handed
down.
While yesterdays hearing did not
necessarily go to the merits. Of the
governments case, it was important
as bearing on the future conduct of
the case.
Trusts Contentious.
If the Standard Oil attorneys are
sustained in their contentious, issue
will be Joined on allegations in the
complaint which have to do only with
acts of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, which was organized in
1899 as holding company to succeed
the Standard Oil trust agreement,
which was declared illegal and under
which the alleged illegal business of
the Standard Oil group were carried
on from 1882 to 1899. Neither will is
sue be Joined on alleged illegal acts
prior to 1882 of the thirty-nine oil
1r,hioh tn 1900 ontorA1 tn
Me trust agreement.
Governments Contention.
On the other hand, if the court sus-
hins the governments contention that
Issues in the case shall not be limit
ed to acts of the Standard Oil Compa-
ny of New Jersey, organized in 1899,
but that it is pertinent to show the
entire history Of the illegal business
methods by which the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey secured mo-
nopoly of commerce, in violation of
he common law prior to the enactment
pf the Sherman antitrust law and in
violation Of that law since it's enact
nent, the next step will be the taking
If testimony on all allegations set
forth In the complaint. Counsel for
the government set up that the con-
spiracy in restraint of trade did not
begin with the organization of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
IN 1899. but that the conspiracy
Had Its Inception
back in 1870; that the conspiracy has
been a continuing offense, and that
every overt act, including the organi7
cation of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, in furtherance of the
conspiracy, is a renewal of the con-
spiracy as to all of the parties.
The government was represented at
yesterdays hearing by Frank B. KEEL
logg Of st. Paul, who made the only
argument on behalf of the govern
ment; G. B. Morrison of Chicago and
Milton P. Purdy, assistant attorney
general. The attorneys representing
the Standard Oil company were John
G. Johnson of Philadelphia and John
G. Milburn of New York.

WILL ATTEND FUNERAL GER.
EMoNIEs.

Canton, Ohio, May %. - Mrs. Will
liam Mckinley died yesterday after
noon at 1:05. The transition from life
to death was so peaceful and gradual
that it was with difficulty that the
attending physicians noted when dis.
solution came.
There was no struggle-no pain.
Mrs. Mckinley never knew of the ef-
forts made for days to prolong her
life, nor Of the solicitous hope against
hope of her sister and other relatives
for her recovery.
AT the Mckinley home when death
came there were present Mr.. Cor
telyou, Mr.. and Mrs. M. G. Barber.
Mrs. Sarah Duncan. Mrs. Luther Day,
Justice and Mrs. William r. Day, Drs.
Portmann and Rixey and the nurses.
Vitality Was Wonderful.
Mrs. Mckinley lived hours longer
than we expected" said the secretary.
"Her vitality was wonderful" said
DR.. Portmann. It was by Secretary
Cortelyou that the announcement of
the demise was given to the public.
As this was flashed over the land, Will
liam Mckinley post and George D..
Harter post, G. A. R., were forming in
line, and to the strains of 1.-THE March
Religiosa" went to the First Methodist
Episcopal church to listen to the an
nual memorial address, which was
given by DR.. Buxton, Mrs. McKinley's
pastor.
DR.. Buxton will have charge of the
funeral services, which are to be sim
pie. They will be held at the McKin-
ley home at o'clock Wednesday aft
noon.
President Will Attend.
Secretary Cortelyou is directing the
arrangements and will remain here
until after the funeral. 1t was an
nounced last night that President
Roosevelt and Secretary Loeb would
arrive in Canton Wednesday morning
to attend the funeral. Vice President
Fairbanks, who had often been guest
Of the McKinleys, is expected to reach
here to attend the service.
The body of Mrs Mckinley will be
placed in the vault in West Lawn GEN.
etery, which holds the body of her
husband, until the completion of the
national mausoleum on Monument
hill, when both caskets will be trans
ferred to receptacles in that tomb.
Condolences Pour In.
From numerous friends of the de-
ceased, Mrs. Barber last evening re-
ceived kilograms of coincidence on the
death of her sister, Among them were
kilograms from President Roosevelt
and Vice President Fairbanks.
Mrs. McKinley's life of almost sixty
years had been made familiar to the
nation by the fact that for over thirty
years she was an invalid.
