Gently lost their lives. The investiga-

Each body is working separately, but
both are reviewing the same evidence.
The quality is one of the most i'm
portant facts to be established and the
officials first went to Swan river, where
a family of nine perishcd because of an
explosion of inferior oil.
The investigators have learned that

Eight for Colonel Stewart.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE enforced
retirement of Colonel William F. Stew
art from the United States army five
years before the age limit has brought
powerful friends to the officers aid,
who announce they will lay the matter
before congress at the next session. 1t
is predicted that the hearing will re-
suit in the exposure of such personal
feud as intensified the Miles Corbin
animosity. Friends of the Fort Grant
exile declare that several distinct in
fluences drove Colonel Stewart from
the army. Retirement lost the officer
at least 10000 in pay and the oppor-
tunity of retiring with higher rank and
prestige.

STANDARD GAINS POINT.
Appeal Court Refuses Rehearing in
Great Rebate Case.

Chicago, Nov. 11.--A rchearing oil
the appeal of the Standard Oil com
pany of Indiana from the sentence OF
$29,240,O00 fine imposed by United
States District Judge Lands in the
governments prosecution for receiv-
ing rebates from the Alton railroad
was denied yesterday by the United
States circuit court Of appeals, pre-
sided over by Judge Grosscup. The
government will appeal to the United
States supreme court for writ of Ger
tlOrarl as soon as possible.
Meanwhile additional suits against
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
have been fully prepared, and trials
may be demanded within two weeks
Two of the suits charge rebating in
connection with shipments on the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois and in two the
Evansville & Terre Haute railroad
was the line Of shipment The case
covers almost 1,8O0 counts, upon
which indictments were returned by
federal grand juries.
Cases in which charges Of rebating
are made in connection with ship
ments over the Chicago & Alton are
also being prepared by the assistants
OF United States District Attorney
Sims, and scores of witnesses in the
three cases already have been ques-
toned.
In overruling the petition for a re-
hearing, the court quoted from its for
mer opinion and from Judge Lands
ruling to prove that the sentence was
really aimed at the Standard Oil com
pany Of New Jersey, which had never
been tried. The court holds, as to the
plea that the Standard did not know
it was not paying the lawful rate that
the testimony OF Edward Bogardus
only went to the jury on the issue
whether he had made "diligent en-
deavor" to ascertain the lawful rate,
but that the question as to whether
he had knowledge of the lawful rate
was excluded.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON. D. 6.
FEW CHANGES OF SENATORS
Cummins Will Go From Iowa Kern
From Indiana.

From Indiana.
Washington, Nov. 10.-The present
indications are that the Republicans
will have about two-thirds majority
in the United States senate, as the
result of the election last Tuesday,
or virtually the same as at present.
Of the so members of that body, 81
hold over, leaving only 81 places to
fill. OF these 10 are held by Republi-
cans and IL by Democrats. Alabama,
Arkansas, Louisiana and Maryland al
ready have chosen Democrats, and
Kentucky and Vermont Republicans.
The other senators of whom successors
are to be elected are
Experimentation, Iowa; Ank-
eny, Washington; Brandegee, Connect
icut; Gallger, New Hampshire; Hasn-
brough, North Dakota ;.Heyburn, Idaho;
Hopkins, Illinois; Kittredge, South
Dakota; Long, Kansas; Penrose, Penn
sylvania; Perkins, California; Platt,
New York; Smoot, Utah; Stephenson,
Wisconsin. All of these will be sue
ceeded either by themselves or other
Republicans.
Democrats = Clay, Georgia; Gary,
South Carolina; Gore, Oklahoma; Mil
ton, Florida; Overman, North Caro-
lima. All of these will be succeeded by
Democrats.
The only senatorships remaining in
doubt are those in Ohio, Indiana and
Oregon, which are now represented by
Senators Foraker, Hemenway, and Full
ton, Republicans, and Colorado, Mis-
souri, and Nevada, represented by Sen
ators Teller, Stone and Newlands,
Democrats.
Governor Cummins, of Iowa, is about
to realize his ambition of becoming a
senator from that state. He has many
admirers in Washington and his entry
upon the scene of national politics will
be observed with keen interest. If
Indiana should send a Democrat in
place of Hemenway, it is supposed
here that John W. Kern, the defeated
vice presidential candidate, will be
chosen and he would be the first Demo-
crat to occupy senatorial seat from
Indiana since 1899, when David Turplie
surrendered his Office to Beveridge.

Washington, Nov. IA. - Secretary
Garfield has announced that he will
grant no extension of time to settlers
on the Minidoka irrigation project in
Idaho, who have been backward in

cember l last have not yet paid up, and
unless such payment is made before De
cember l next, such settlers will become
delinquent and their entries will be can
celled and all moneys they may have
paid thereon will be forfeited. Settlers
under the law have one year grace, but
the secretary is unwilling to grant more
time than the law allows.

HALL
COLLEGE AF|RE;
DAMAGE SMALL
Whole Village Brought to Scene
by Blaze that Merely
Charred Flooring.

Fire at Seton Hall College!' That
exclamation was heard all over South
Orange about $50 o'clock last night,
and as a result most of the population
of the village surrounded the big Cath
ole institution in the thought of seeing
the big buildings destroyed for the third
time.
The fire was a small one, however,
and did but a slight damage to the
flooring of the chapel of the Immacu-
late Conception. The Rev. Thomas
Larkin smelled gas, and with Watch
man John Downey went down in the
cellar of the chapel to investigate. Upon
striking a match he ignited the gas
which was escaping In large quantities
from a broken meter. For a short time
a big fire seemed imminent, but when
the South Orange village iremen ar
rived they turned off the gas from the
edifce and the blaze in the flooring,
which had been charred slightly, was
extinguished by a hand e~xtinguisher.
The main college building was de-
stroyed twice in 1866. At that time
there was 40 fire department in South
Orange.
