Stock Law Is Upheld.

Congestion of traffic does not free
railroad companies from penalties for
failure to observe the 2S.hour stock
law, under an opinion rendered Mon.
day by Judges Van Devsnter, Hook
and Adams in the United States cir
cult court of appeals. The case, which
came up on appeal from the Wyoming
federal court, was one in which the
Union Pacific was defendant in q suit
brought by the government under the
interstate commerce law, which re.
quires livestock not to be In transit

The Wyoming federal court held
that the railway company was not
amenable to the 2S-hour law, because
it did not Knowingly and willfully''
keep the stock in the cars SO hours, as
charged. The company pleaded that
congested traffic prevented unloading
the cattle. The court Of appeals re.
verses this and holds the railroad

CONGRESS AMENDS RULES,
Cannon vii Be Speaker But His
Power Is Restricted,

WASHINGTON, March 15.-After one
of the stormiest sessions in its history
the house of representatives today,
regardless of party alignment, adopt.
ed, by q vote of I'll to 172, q resolu.
tton by MIR. Fitzgerald, democrat, of
New York, whereby the rules we're
amended in several important partic.
ulars.
Joseph G.. Cannon was re. elected
speaker. The insurgents did not win
the complete victory they counted on,
but succeeded in bringing about an
exceedingly lively session, and obliged
the majority to adopt the Fitzgerald
resolution, which Is in the nature of q
compromise.
The Fitzgerald resolution was q sub.
stitute for one offered by Mr.. Clark
of Missouri. It's adoption was accom-.
plished only after the insurgents, with
the aid of the democrats, with one or
two exceptions, had won a decided pre-.
liminary victory by voting down q
resolution by Mr.. Dalzell, making the
unamended rules of the Sixtieth con.
gress applicable to those of the pre-
sent congress.
A prominent feature of the Clark
resolution was an amendment provid.
ing for q committee Of Is to revise,
amend and codify the rules and much
of the opposition to it was because of
this fact. AS adopted, the Fitzgerald
amendment makes 40 change in the
present method of selecting the rules
committee.
Speaker Cannon is inclined to re.
gard the amendment as slight improve.
ment on the present rules, in that in
stead of throwing the responsibility
for recognition on him it set aside
certain days for considering measures
under unanimous consent; but, he says
under the new rules, members will
have to wait for those days.

Opposed To Tariff Commission.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Declar.
ing that there is no middle ground,
that either protection or free trade
must rule this world, William Whit.
man, president of the National Asso-
citation of Wool Manufacturers, in a
letter to the tariff trainers OF congress,
replies to the arguments of the advo.
Gates of a tariff commission:
1.-THE very nature of a tariff prob
1em," he says, sis imperatively
formed for general partisan consider.
alton and the only way in which the
tariff can be taken Out of politics is
by settling the tariff question as we
have apparently settled the gold
standard question, and that is by de.
feating the free trade party 80 over
whelmingly at the polls that it will
have to do as the free silver party
has done and abandon it's cause as a
hopeless fraud and delusion, con-
demned and abhorred by the Ameri-
can people.
"a permanent tariff commission,
anxious to justify its existence by in.
cessant activity" he says, "would be
a veritable plague to the country's
business. President Taft is right in
declaring that we a have no full
prosperity until the present tariff re-
vision is completed and until that is
done what the business of the coun'
try wants is absolute rest for at leas,
ten years from tariff agitation"

An act to protect the surface rights
of settlers, the provisions of which
we're recently made public, was passed

was signed by the president March 3
The purpose of the measure is to en-
able settlers upon land underlaid
with coal to obtain patents to such
land for the surface rights only, re-
serving for disposal to other parties
the mineral deposits underground.
An official copy of the law has been
received. and al the legislation affects
a large number of entries in this part
of Montana, it's provisions are given
in full as follows:
"Be it in enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United

good faith located, selected, or enter

of the United States any lands which
subsequently are. classified, claimed,
or reported as being valuable for
coal. may, if he shall so elect, and
upon making satisfactory proof OF
compliance with the laws under which
such lands are claimed, receive a
patent therefor, which shall contain
a reservation to the United States OF
all coal in said lands, and the right
to prospect for, mine, and remove
the same. The coal deposits in such
lands shall be subject to disposal by
the United States in accordance with
the provisions of the coal-land laws
in force at the time of such disposal
but no person shall enter upon said
lands to prospect for, or mine and
remove local therefrom, without
previous consent of the owner under
such patent, except upon such con
} ditions as to security for and pay
ment of all damages to such owner
caused thereby as may be determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction
"Provided, that the owner under
such patent shall have the right tt
mine coal for use on the land TO-
domestic purposes prior to the dis
posal by the United States of the Goa
deposits;
provided, further, that nothing
herein contained shall be held tt
