Commerce Commission Reports Show
Return Of Prosperity.
Washington, March 24.-Reports
made by the great railway system to
the interstate commerce commission,
show improvement in the railroad and
industrial situation.
Commissioner Franklin X. Lane in
a statement yesterday says the October
panic was not so serious as generally
supposed The reports to the commits
sion, he says. show that eastern lines
suffered most from the financial de-
preston. He says some of the east
ern roads were embarrassed by fall
ing off Of revenues and inability to
obtain ready cash with which to carry
on improvements which they had be-
gun, but despite the panic the net in
come Of the thirteen railway systems,
from which reports have been received,
show an increase of $14000,000 in net
income in 1907, as compared with 1906.
The figures available to the interstate
commerce commission indicate that the
general condition soon will be normal
or better.
'sF'rom the figures available to the
commission" said Commissioner Lane,
"it does not appear that. taking the
country as a whole. the revenues of the
railroads have fallen off to the extent
that generally is believed The inter
state commerce commission now calls
apon the carriers for monthly reports
of their revenues and operating ex-
penses Such reports began with the
month of July last, and I have the fig

Adams, our statistician. as to a num-

Investigation in Vicinity Of Pttsburg
Will Rid District of Anarchists.

Pittsburg, March 24-An investiga-
ton is in progress here which, it is
said, will result in the deportation Of
thousands of undesirable foreigners
from the Pittsburg district within the
next few months.
John T. Harper, agent at large for
the immigration bureau of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, is in
Pittsburg now, gathering statistics in
cident to commencing deportation.
While he could not give an estimate as
to the number Of foreigners who will
be taken out Of the Pittsburg district
he said it "would run into the thou
sands"
The crusade is the carrying out Of
the recent order of federal authorities
to use deportation as a means of
checking the growth of anarchistic
sentiment and the ridding the country
of the burden Of taking care of INDECENT
foreigners.

SWORN TO SECRECY.
Executive Committee of Society Of
Equity Condemns Night RIDERS.

Executive COMMITTEES or society OF
Equity Condemns Night RIDERS.
Cincinnati, March 24.-Word is said
to have been received by the executive
committee Of the society Of equity on
Monday afternoon, from the headquar-
ters of the American Tobacco Com
pany of New York, that the company
would buy the 1906 and 1907 crops at
sixteen and eighteen cents per pound,
respectively. The committee was sworn
to secrecy, and the report has been Of
ticially denied, but is nevertheless de-
clared to be authentic. The two-year
crop aggregates about S0,000,000 pounds
of leaf now in store in various ware
houses and private barns thruout the
white hurley district. According to the
reported terms Of the agreement, the
company will commence to take over
the big purchase Immediately, and buy
ers in Kentucky will probably receive
notice tomorrow that the reason for
secrecy by the society lay in its de-
termination not to raise any crop this
year Before adjourning, the executive
committee adopted resolutions con-
demning the night riders, and disavow-
ing any responsibility for them.

Cannes. March 24.--Spencer Compton
Cayendish, eighth duke OF Devohslire'
died here today of heart failure, aged
75 years.
The death Of the duke of Devonshire
leaves a gap in the public ilfe OF
Great Britain, for altho his withdrawal
from the Balfour ministry when Jo-
seph Chamberlain launched his fiscal
policy estranged him from majority
of the party. he still had large fol-
lowing in the country and as president
of the Unionist Free Trade League ne
took an active part in the campaign
against tariff reform. Few men have
spent a more active political life thah
the duke. He has been almost con-
tinuously a cabinet member in charge
of some important department, as a
liberal before the split with Gladstone,
and later as leader of the ibefal un-
ionists. The duke also was active So
cially. His entertainments at his Plc-
cadilly residence and other country
houses were the most notable of their
kind. Members of the royal family ire
squently We're his guests.
The duke has no immediate family
and the dukedom passes TO his nephew,
Mr.. Cavendish, who married the
daughter of Lord Lansdowne. The
death of the duke places the badge of
the Order Of the Garter at the disposal
OF King Edward. A number of public
offices are also made vacant, notably
the chancellorship of Cambridge uni
versity, the lord lieutenancy of Derby
shire and the provincial grandmaster-
ship Of Derbyshire masons, post
which the duke held for half cen-.

GILLETTE MUST DIE.
No Grounds for Report That Governor
Will Grant Reprieve.

Albany, n. y, March 24-There Is
no foundation for the persistent report
that Governor Hughes has decided to
grant reprieve for Chester Gillette,
for his mothers sake or for any other
reason. This statement was made to-
day on the best possible authority. The
governor himself would not be quoted
on the subject. The general belief
here, is that the governor will not in
terfere with the execution of the young
man. who is under sentence to die at
Auburn prison next week, for the mur-
der of Grace Brown at Big Moose lake,
two wears ago.
