to Prosecution of steel
Corporation.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2c-The conclusion
reached by Senator Kittredge. who has pre-
pared a report Of the Investigation of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company's abb
sorption by the United States Steel cor
porstion, is that the merger forms a COM
bination in restraint of trade and that
President Roosevelt had no authority of
law to sanction the deal. This report will be
submitted to the sub-commtte of the com
mittee on judiciary at a meeting to be
held late in the day, and II adopted 1t may
form the basis of an order to the Depart
ment OF Justice to bring an action against
the steel corporation under the Sherman
antitrust law.
The Kittredge report has been printed
in confidence and has been read by other
members Of the special committee. which
is composed OF Senators Clarke Of wyo-
ming. Dillingham;, Kittredge. Culberson
and overman. 1t could not be learned to-
day whether other members OF the COM
mittee viii present their views in indI-
vidual statements, but It is believed that
Mr.. Culberson, who is the author OF the
resolution under which the inquiry was
conducted, intends to do so. Any action
taken by the subcommittee must have the
approval of the judiciary committee before
being presented to the senate.

His Great Career.

Prince HirObumi Ito was perhaps
the greatest statesman of new Japan.
The achievement with which his name
has been chiefly associated in the
minds of Occidentals was the framing
OF the imperial constitution by virtue
of which Japan took her place for the
first time in the rank of modern civ.
ilized states.
As the cmperors trusted adviser
and the medium through which the
state was placed on 4 constitutional
basis, he must be regarded ms one of
the positive factors which have helped
to win for Japan her present stand
ing among the nations.
Prince Ito was 6S years Old II was
III 1858 that he made his celebrated
pilgrimage to England at time when
II was against the law OF his country
to go abroad and the penalty for in.
fringement was death. Nevertheless,
inspired by II patriotic feeling and a
desire to learn the secret Of occidental
supremacy he undertook the trip,
which proved 50 beneficial to his
country later on.
Prince Ito. who was president of
the priry council of Japan, left TOXIC
october 10 for tour of Manchuria.
He was To have, arrived at ,iIarbln to-
day tTucsday). where he was to have
met NJ. Kokovsoff, Russian minister of
finance. The conference. il was said,
was at the behest of Japan and Rus
sian and foreign diplomats had at
tached great importance TO II, al
though the exact motives impelling
Japan to propose the conference were
not known. The subjects to bc dis
cusscd were not stated in the Japan
ese overtures and NJ. Kokovson, II was
said. had barred political questions
He said that he was competent to
discuss only financial and technical
subjects.
In SOME quarters il was believed the
tour of Prince Ito was to have been
political and that II had as a basis an
attempt to foreStall protests of the
powers against Russia's domination OF
the Manchurian railroad zone under
her agreement with China by effect
ing complete understanding between
Japan and China Ii has been stated
that China had sent several high Of
ficials to Harbin to confer with Prince
Ito. ~

IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wtrel
Washington. oct. 25.-What Is re-
garded as a distinct concession to i'm
porting interests and to France was
made by the treasury department to-
day in directing collectors of customs
at United States ports to keep GUS
toms houses open until 1880 o'clock
next Saturday when the commercial
agreements with France, Switzerland
and Bulgaria will expire. The purpose
is to give every facility TO importers
to enter goods at the reduced rates
of the expiring treaties and applies
particularly to New York and Il few
other cities where customs houses
close ordinarily at / o'clock on Sat
urday.
The decision fixed october so as tho
date of the expiration of the agrcc-
mcnts instead of the 31st. because Of
the latter date falling on Sunday.
