Agent for Government at Work on
Merger Suit.

Chicago, July 31.--Special agents OF
the government are in Chicago trying
to collect evidence TO substantiate
proceedings for the disruption OF the
Hartman system OF railroads upon
the ground that the combination is in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
act.
For more than week Ralph M.
Mckenzie, who did great deal OF
preliminary work in the investigation
which the interstate commerce com.
mission made into the affairs of the
Hartman railroads has been industri-
ously working among big shippers
with view to ascertaining how the
Hartman combination has been used,
II used at ALL to stinc competition and
restrain trade. On Mr.. Mckenzie
new calling list are all of the traffic
men of the big industries in the city.
II Is not known with what success he
is meeting, but his investigation is
taken as meaning that the big stick
has again begun to swing over the
Hartman lines.
Ii is understood that evidence is
desired for use in connection with a
suit to be begun by the government,
which will be similar to the Northern
Securities case, which resulted in the
disruption of the Hill merger. so far
as holding company is concerned.

SULTAN STARTLES TURKEY.
VIII Throw Off Convent Qualities and
be One of the People.

Constantinople, July 29.-As a eli
max of the most remarkable series of
Kaleidoscope revolutionary changes
in the history of Turkey that have sue
ceeded each other in rapid succession
during the past two weeks, Sultan Alb
dull Hamid II issued an ipmerial trade
today that changes the entire social
existence of the imperial family in
conformity with the reforms recently
granted to his subjects.
Henceforth Abdul Hamid, no longer
despotic ruler of an absolute despotism
but constitutional monarch by his own
declaration, will live the life of a
democratic monarch who depends on
the good will of the people for his
power.
The trade issued today declares Off
clally that Abdul, who has been a self
imposed prisoner in the imperial pal
ace for the past 81 years, will hence
forth appear on the streets like any
other citizen" of Turkey.
No less sweeping in its revolution
airy aspect is the second decree of the
trade, which announces that heneeforth
princesses of the imperial family must
observe monogamy. They will not be
compelled or allowed to be simply the
chief OF harem, but must be queen in
their household.
The sultan has long been known to
fret under the bondage imposed on him
by the customs of his country and is
SAID today to be the happiest man in
all Turkey.

APPEAL TO LAW.
Illinois Manufacturers to Test Decis-
ion on Export Rates.

Chicago, July 31.-The Illinois Man
ufacturers' association took up the
Asiatic export problem yesterday and
asked Levy Mayer for an opinion as
to the best method of procedure.
Members of the association through
out the state are alarmed over the
prospect and purpose to use every
effort. both legal and otherwise. to
change the situation
The Canadian Pacific yesterday de-
clared that II was not a party to
the new tariffs which the American
transcontinental lines have put out.
In railway circles here the under
standing is different. 1t does not
matter, however, so far as the effect
of the new tariffs is concerned, for
no railroad originating traffic here
would maintain traffic agreement
with the Canadian Pacific except
upon the same terms as traffic is
maintained with American lines.
The fact developed yesterday that
the railroads are aggrieved even
more by the commissions ruling that
such rates or fares must be the same
for all, regardless of whether ocean
carriage may be designated by the
shipper or passenger" This would
compel the railroads to deal with
tramp ocean steamers, which they
positively refuse to do. 1t is the con
sensus of opinion that there is no
power which can compel the railroads
to engage in this business il thew do
not see fit to do so.

FOUR BLOCKS SWEPT.


9. B226.OOO.
| Portland, July 29.-Fire blotted out
practically one full block off the map
of the North Portland business district,
burned most of the property OIL three
other blocks, and threatened the entire
district. late yesterday afternoon.
Property worth approximately $226,-
600 was destroyed, property represent
ing nearly $l,000,0 900 was actually
scorched, and property worth well into
the millions was within the danger
zone.
| The fact that line of brick build
.nQs blocked the course of the names
until the fire department had an oppor-
tunity to concentrate its forces at the
weak points, accounts for the limiting
of the flames to five blocks.
Cause of the fire is not yet clear
There are several theories -incendlar-
ism, spontaneous combustion in loft
of new hay, dropping of a match or
cigarette, flying sparks from CHM
ney. The origin was traced to the
middle section of the Oregon Transfer
company's place at Fifth and Gilsan
streets.
The fire popped up with the sudden
ness that attends the lighting OF gas
let. Some smoke was seen on the
roof of the Oregon Transfer company's
place about A as o'clock. Fifteen
minutes later the roof had given place
to a great column of flames.
Famed by strong wind from the
northwest, the column of flames passed
quickly from building to building.
Gaining impetus from the big frame
building and tons of hay and other
combustible matter, the fire quickly
leaped across the street to the North
ern Pacific Wagon works, where there
was another great array of fuel, and
sweeping this, passed on through the
block from Fifth to the blind west wall
of the Union Meat company's place.
Checked here, it concentrated its
fury, as if with an intelligence of its
own, and leaped into the block north of
Glisan street, and then jumped Fifth
and worked both east and west.
When, at 6 80 o'clock it had run its
course and given way before small
river that had been poured on from a
score of nozzles, sad picture of disas-
ter lay all about. The whole block
bounded by Fifth, Sixth, Glisan and
Hoyt streets, with the exception of
the southern corner, was a heap of
smoking debris. Nearly all the west
half of the block bounded by Fourth,
Fifth, Glisan and Hoyt streets was
gone; all frame buildings were in
ruins between Fourth, Fifth, Glisan
and Flanders. The block between Fifth
and Sixth and Glisan and Flanders was
all but gone, the big brick Barr hotel
being represented by lettering black
ened walls, which fell in later, fortu-
nately without hurting anyone.

IMMIGRATION BUREAU FRAUD
Scandal Said to Have Been Unearthed
by Commissioners.

NY
San Francisco, July 31.--Thc big
stick, in the hands OF Theodore
Roosevelt, is about to swing amid the
ranks of the Pacific coast immigration
bureau OF the government, and when
liz swings, il seemingly reputable re-
ports can be relied upon, heads big
and little are apt to fall into the bas-
ket Of political oblivion
An investigation, which has been
going on for over, year under the
direction of a special commission
named by the president, it is said
has revealed evidence of alleged con-
nivanee on the part of the immigra-
ton agents in the smuggling of Chi
nese and Japanese coolies into the
United States, both along the Mexi-
can border and in the Pacific ports OF
entry.
The commissioners who have been
conducting this investigation now
have their data almost completed and
in short time will make their for
NAL report to Washington. When the
material is in the hands of the presi-
dent he will be ready to take immedi-
ate action.
Agents OF the government are now
in San Francisco working upon the
finishing details of the case. They are
making use of staff of Chinese de
tectiyes and it is declared complete
underground system has been uncov-
cred and band of Chinese leaders
revealed
Much evidence has been obtained OF
this practice in southern California
where it is charged orientals have
been regularly passed across the Mex
lean border under the very noses OF
a force of immigration inspectors.

Asked If the action Of the American

sion, Mr.. Hill replied:
Resentment, no. The commission
cannot be blamed for enforcing the
law. The Pacific trade was given up
because it did not pay. America to-
day has no flag on the high seas, or
might as we'll not have, for we cannot
compete with any other country, and
must hand the load over to anybody
that asks for it. The only way for
rs to continue in the Pacific trade
would be for the railroads to own
their own steamers and run them at
heavy loss.
I'VE are not a seafaring nation. We
have no sailors, though under the
law Americans must constitute two
thirds or three-fourths of the crews.
What we must have to make an
