an indication of the interest being
taken In the National Feeders and

that they would guarantee the pay
nrent of the $t00 In gold, the prem
ium offered In the grand champion

The merchants of the city, as Wen
as other cities over the state, are
taking the widest interest in the
show this year and 1t promises 10
be the greatest ever held by the as
sociation. Entries for q le various
classes are far ahead of those OF any
previous year, and In some classes
as the horse show, the a,.tries are
more than doubled. This Increase In

CULBERs0N IS LIKELY TO WIN FIRE IN STEAMER CAUSES PANIC
Senate Committee to Vote on Steel
Merger Report Monday.

Washington, Feb. 25- Next Mon
day the senate judiciary committee
will vote on the question of adopting
the Culberson report on the steel
trust merger and the developments
during meeting held yesterday af-
ternoon make 1t almost certain that
majority of the committee will
agree to the Culberson report with
one or two slight modification
Neither Of these is material. The
more important one is an Affirmative
declaration that the president was
misled into agreeing 10 this consol-
idation. This change has the effect
OF putting the ouus OF the transac-
ton upon Messrs. Gary and Frick
rather than upon the president. It
is understood that while Senator
Culberson thought there was no oc-
casion to eXonerate the president
specifically. he made no objection TO
this proposed change. In fact, the
whole theory of the Culberson re-
port was that the president had
been deceived as to the ctrcumstan-
ces of the case.

HARTMAN AT SAN ANTONIO.

Enioying Out Door Life.

I the railroad king. Mr.. Hartman has
Temporary country home made of

electricity. They are pitched in row
of beautiful pecan trees and are not
I far from the San Antonio river, Near
F, them also Is a spur of the San An
tonic and Aransas Pass railroad on
which stands Mr.. Harriman's special
train.
Accompanying Mr. Hartman are
his daughter. Miss Mary Hartman.
Robert w. Goelet, friend of the
family, Mr. Krutchnitt, an official OF
the road, Mr.. Thornwell Fay Of
Houston, Thomas Price, secretary to
Mr.. Hartman and Hugh Neill, sec
retary to Mr.. Krutchnitt, and the
party are enjoying golf and horse
back riding and other out OF door
sports They have engaged two or
the finest and largest automobiles of
the city and are taking full advan-
tage of the 1856 miles of fine roads
that network the country about San
Antonio.
Mr.. Hartman has shown himself
very democratic and approachable
and has talked freely and frankly to
the newspaper men. He says that
this trip has no special Significance
as far as new railroad building Is
concerned and Is merely n trip OF
rest and recuperation. He denies that
he is hoping for an invitation to go
to South Africa with Theodore
Roosevelt, and declares that IL he
went to such an unpleasant country
he would want to choose pleasant
company for the trip.
SO far from being the naughty,
financial magnate, he has been ap-
proachable even to the masses or the
people. allowing the curious crowd
TO visit his quarters. He has talked
freely and frankly to anybody who
comes along aud even went so far as
to invite a newspaper reporter to eat
lunch with him. In his public inter-
views he has taken the newer and
enlightened stand that many rail-
roads have done things TO arouse the
storm of public opposition that
has assailed them In recent years,
but that nevertheless this hosti.eey
to railroads, Just because they are
railroads, is preiudicial to the coun-
try's best interests. In a few days
Mrs. Hartman and his younger
daughter will join the party at the
camp and they will probably remain
in this city until sometime In the
spring.
