man and secured $4,000 belonging to
the California Mining Company yes
terday and made their way to Schurz

sued by the former members OF the

headed for Buck Brush Springs, the
only place in the mountains where

SEEKS RESTORATION.
CHICAGO, Mar, 23,-The Tribune

CHICAGO, Mar. 23.-The Tribune
today says:
Oberlin M. Carter, formerly cap
tain in the U. S. Engineer Corps, will
seek restoration to the army and to
his rank as result OF the vindication
OF the Savannah Harbor graft charges
given him in the decision OF Judge
Kohlsaat, which was handed down on
Saturday. He is confident of obtain
ing from the President this rec
ognition Of the justice of the courts
decision.
While admitting yesterday that re.
instatement in the army is what he
desires, Mr. Carter would not discuss
his plans for bringing the matter to
the attention OF the administration.
From his advisers it was learned that
he will petition President Roosevelt
directly,
Restoration Of the honor that was
torn from him is placed above all
other considerations by the former
captain. 1t has been known among
his friends for some time that he has
refused repeated offers of high sal
aries from engineering concerns that
recognized his ability, he would not
accept them while his reputation was
under cloud, and he always has de-
clared he would devote the rest OF his
life TO remove the stain on his life.

Broken Third Rail Imperils Crowded
Train.

NEW YORK, Mar az Seventy
I've feet Of the ripped of part OF a
kffixd rail hanging from Broadway
Elevated in Brooklyn last night
caused numerous small explosions as
il came highly charged with wires
and metal fixtures. While the Il"
car that left the tracks and detached
the current conveying rail in the pro-
cess hung suspended in perilous
position in mid air, threatening every
second to topple over in the street.
When the car stopped at the end OF
the structure there was a rush Tor the
rear door, causing a crush in which
several persons were bruised and their
clothing torn. The guards, how
ever, kept the gates closed and would
not allow the passengers to leave the
train until another was attached to
the rear, The suspended car was
then hauled back out OF danger a
police guard formed about the rail on
the street and kept the crowds back
until the current was turned of and
electricians had made repairs. The
entire line was tied up for an hour
and half.

HIM NO GOOD. HIM HELP JAPAN
He Said he Thought SO Little About
Attack in the Hotel Last Night
That he Took no Precaution or
Carry a Weapon.

SAN FRANCISCO, March %. -
With the revolver OF a wouId-be as
sassin concealed in a handkerchief,
d. w. Stevens. former counselor to
the japanese embassy at Washington,
but for several years diplomatic ad-
visor to the Korean government at
Seoul was shot and seriously wound
ed this morning as he was about to
leave for Washington. Three shots
we're fred at Stevens by |, w. Chang,
a diminutive Korean. The FIRST shot
missed the diplomatist and perhaps
fatally wounded. M. w. Chun, one OF
three or four Koreans who were lay
ing in wait for Stevens and who a
moment before had struck Stevens a
vicious blow in the face. The other
shots took effect in Stevens back, one
bullet striking him under the right
shoulder near the spinal column and
the second few inches lower. While
the wounds are serious it is said the
chances for Stevens recovery are
good. The attempted assassination
evidently was well planned. II took
place at the Ferry Station at o;3O
this morning just as Stevens accom-
panied by chozo Koike, the Japanese
consul-general, was about to take the
ferry connecting with the Overland
train for the east. The motive for
the murderous attack apparently
arises out of the resentment of q
small group OF local Koreans to the
japanese protectorate over Korea
who sought to avenge their country
for the important part played in the
reorganization OF its government by
Stevens, Stevens arrived from the
Orient last Friday. Last night he was
attacked at the Fairmount Hotel by
four or FIVE Koreans.
He freely admitted shooting Ste.

to the Associated Press representa-.
tive. "Me sorryf No. Him no good

Stevens in the Japanese newspapers
and had recognized him from his
pictures. 1t was learned that small
band OF Koreans have been on
Stevens trail ever since he landed.
Chang is at the city prison. Nc
charge has been placed against him
pending the outcome of Stevens in.

FLEETS VISIT TO JAPAN.

TOXIC, Mar 23.--The press with
out exception, Is enthusiastic over the
announcement 81 the visit OF the
American feet, and the government
is receiving considerable praise for
extending the invitation. The con-
sensus Of newspaper opinion Is that
the prompt acceptance OF the invita-
ton shows the friendship Of America
for Japan, while the visit Of the feet
will suffice to show the world the i'm.
possibility Of breach OF the friend
iy relations existing between the two
countries.
Dispatches received to-day indicate
that the feet will arrive in November
The newspapers are urging the
government not to limit the expense
Of It's reception.

Said Sulzer Had Put In Record
What Purported to be His
Speech.
MANN GETS sPEECHExpUNGED
Sulzer Characterized Mann as a
"Pettyfogging Lawyer, Mean and
Contemplate" For Which he Was
Promptly Called to Order.

WASHINGTON, March q. - A
scene somewhat out OF the ordinary
was enacted in the House today be-
cause Of charge made by Mann that
Sulzer had put in the Congressional
Record what purported to be a
speech delivered by him last Satur
day but which Mann charged was
not the one he delivered. All had to
do with Suffers claim and that he,
Mann, was the author OF the legisla-
ton which brought the department.
OF commerce and labor into being. A
resolution offered by Mann to ex-
punge the printed speech from the
Congressional Record was adopted by
strict party vote but not until af-
ter the House had been treated to
bitter denunciation of Mann by Sui
ger and several lively tilts between
the latter and the speaker. Sulzer
characterized Mann as a "Pettyfog
ging lawyer, mean and contemptible'
for which he was called to order with
the admonition that such language
could not be used toward another
member. Twice afterward in seeking
to justify his claim to the authorship
he was interrupted by the speaker
with similar warning. Anticipating
that his speech would be ruled cut,
as the way Of getting it back into the
record, Sulzer resorted to piece of
strategy by trying to have the speech
read and later endeavored to read it
himself, but the SPEAKER insisted he
could only address himself to reso-
luton to expunge. Smarting under
the action Of Republicans, Sulzer for
the first time posed as an obstruction
ist. He objected to all unanimous
consent propositions and halted the
proceedings of the House for con-
siderable time by point of no
quorum. After passing number OF
measures relating to the district Of
Columbia the House adjourned out

WASHINGTON, D. c. Mar. 23.-
Every indication points to an i'm
provement generally in the railroad
and industrial situation of the country
according to reports made by the
great railroad systems Of America to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. These reports are to the effect
that, while the railroads suffered to
some extent by what has come to be
referred to as the October panic,
the loss was by no means so serious
as generally has been supposed.
1t appears from the report that the
effect was felt particularly by the
eastern lines and by the lines in the
southeastern part Of the country,
few Of which were embarrassed not
only by falling off of revenues, but
by their inability to obtain ready cash
with which to carry on improvements
which they had begun while the west
ern lines and transcontinental roads
have not suffered materially from the
financial depression. The figures
available to the Interstate Commerce
Commission indicate also that the
general condition in the country is
improving materially, with prospect
that it soon will be normal or better.
Franklin K. Lane, Pacific Coast
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission has made careful an
alysis Of the figures submitted by the
railroads themselves to the Commis-
sion. Mr.. Lane was asked what loss
the railroads of America had sustain
ed from the October panic" He re-
piled that the railroad situation the
country over is not imminently a
serious one at the present time.
"There are no figures accessible by
which definite answer to your ques-
ton can be given" continued Com
missioner Lane. From the figures
available to the Commission, how
ever, it does not appear that, taking
the country as whole, the revenues
of the railroads have fallen off to the
extent that generally is believed. The
interstate Commerce Commission now
calls upon the carriers subject to the
Act to Regulate Commerce for
monthly reports Of their revenues and
operating expenses, Such reports be-
gan with the month of July last, and
/ have the figures compiled by Prof.
Henry c. Adams, our statistician,
