THE sULTAN's PEcULIARlTIEs.
Breads Coming of Night as He Suffers
 From Insomnia.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 The Sultsn's dread of the coming of night is terrible to behold. It is not that
 tim of insomnia, and when he does sleep
 it Is to be the prey of nightmare. His
 bedroom is a small room, smaller than
 you would be given at good hotel. but
 1t has a most marvellous door. It is in
 laid from top to bottom with mother of
 pearl and took two years to execute. h.
 side this door is small aperture and
 then another door. In this aperture an
 attendant sits after the Sultan has gone
 to bed and reads aloud-generally from
 French novels. Outside the first door is
 general, who receives $40 a week and
 a colonel who gets f30. besides the guard.
 They tramp up and down throughout the
 night The Sultan cannot rest unless he
 hears their footsteps on the hardwood floor. The corridor is In almost perfect
 darkness save for one small arc lamp,
 and these grim black figures pass and re-
 pass with measured tread, never speak ing, but with a monotonous tramp, tramp. blending with the clank of weap- ons-a weird lullaby for a monarch.
 The Sultan is very emotional, especially where music Is concerned. He will weep over "La Travista" and Faust" and lucky is the man who can bring into the palace some tune that soothes him. H. had at time an intense admiration
 for a minister of marine who had com- posed an execrable tune in his honor but 1t was catchy; 1t had a refrain which the Sultan loved to drum his fingers to. But, as it happened, this minister had en- riched himself out of the navy funds. One day some sword swalowers visited the Yildiz-the Sultan loves fantastic eX- hibitions of this nature. The minister happened to be present at the entertain
 ment during which the Sultan turned to
 an official besides him and said: That
 man who swallows swords amuses you; but l know a man who swallowed 9 whole fleet of ironclads." The erring | minister was covered with confusion but ] his execrable tune had saved him.

SOME CRITICISM
 OF WEST POINT

Washington, February 20.-During the consideration in the House of the Military academy appropriation bill, MT. Tirren of Massachusetts criticized the entrance examination and course of study at West Point as being too se- we're. Because of that fact. he said, many a promising boy had been thwarted in his ambition.
 MT. Parker of New Jersey maintained that the West Point curriculum was no greater than was necessary to maintain high standard of proficiency at the academy. He was supported by MT. Sulzer of New York in that view.
 MT Slayden of Texas charged that the fault was due to a constant inter ference by the President with the dis cipline of the academy He cited an in stance where five cadets were expelled because of deficiencies in studies, but said that the President, in an auto graph letter to the academic board had so embarrassed that body that 1t had reluctantly consented to reinstate the boys, should he so desire.

PROBING INTO THE
 BROWN FAILURE

New York, February 2O.-The committee appointed by Governor Hughes to in- vestigate the methods of transactng busi- ness in the New York exchanges had be- fore it today former Congressman Charles E. Littleheld. receiver of the defunet brokerage firm of A. o. Brown & Co., He gave the committee a detailed account of the transactions of the firm leading up to it's failure last August
 At the conclusion of the session Chair man Horace White said:
 "The nature of the information given to us today by MT Littlefield, especially of the firms black Saturday was, of course, strictly confidential. Our object was not to learn of the individuals concerned in the transactions at the time of the Brown failure. We are pursuing our investiga- tions for the purpose of suggesting, if pos- sible any improvements in the present methods of conducting business exchanges in the city. For our purpose the names of the participants might just well have been represented by algebriao char acters. We didn't care to know who A B. and c. were in the transactions. The principle involved would have been equally well understood If the participants had been X. Y and Z

COURT PASSES ON
 THE HEPBURN ACT

Atlanta. February 20.-(Special)-In a decision handed down today the court of appeals for the first time construed that section of the Hepburn act relat- ing to the liability of the initial carrier
 The case was that of the Southern Pa cifc company against Crenshaw Broth CTS and was brought up on demurrer from the city court of Atlanta. The firm made a shipment of grapes over the line of the Southern Pacific from California to Tampa and in transit the grapes were damaged either by the initial carrier or by a connecting line and the firm entered suit for damages against the Southern Pacific company which issued the bill of lading
 The company filed demurrer to the bill, which was overruled.
 In affirming the judgment of the city court. the court of appeals held that neither the interstate commerce law nor the Hepburn amendment deprivos hold CTS of bills of lading of the right to sue the initial carrier in the state courts upon the liability imposed by the Hep burn act. It is held that the initial car Yier-that is, the carrier issuing the bill of lading-is responsible for dama ges done to property in transit, whether done by itself or by a connecting carrier.

CONFIDENCE CAME BY SKINNY MADDEN Union Man In Chicago Must Meet Serious Charge HEAVY BAIL DEMANDED Madden Is Charged With Settling Strikes for Cash Consideration
 at a Big Cost to the
 Victim.
HEAVY BAIL DEMAN DED

Chicago, February 20.-tSpecial)-Mar tin Cskinny) Madden, under indictment for alleged conspiracy and operation of a con- fidence game in the name of unionism surrendered himself today along with M. J. Boyle his chief lieutenant, named as his fellow consprator and no sooner had they done this than what may prove to be a sensational and spectacular war fare between the accused men on one side and States Attorney Wayman fand the grand jury on the other developed In proceedings which followed tho sur render of the two men the integrity of the grand jury was questioned and the panel forthwith decided to abandon it's plan of adjourning tonight and will con- tinue it's labors throughout next week.
 Bail in the sum of S1o,oOO was furnished for each of the defendants by Alderman John Powers and State Senator John Broderick.
 Madden presented himself today after avoiding arrest and a jail call by notify ing Abraham Harris clerk of the crin- inal court, of his intention.
 There was something dramatic in the advent of the Gear of the local labor world who is accused of settling strikes for a cash consideration at an average cost to the victim of about $1000
 He contented himself with this state ment: "All this is nonsense. Everybody knows l am not going to run away, so what's the use of this fuss over a bond? l have got to stay in Chicago where I am acquainted, to make a living and have got a little hole all prepared for me In a Chicago cemetery when I quit. I'll come clean and I am not scared or worry ing about what the grand juries or courts may do, but I guess there are some who are worrying about my talking. They need not, because I am here clean.'

NO REGARD FOR THE LAW
The Feeling Is Very Bitter In South Omaha and the Greek Has Been Taken to the Penitentiary
 For Safekeeping.

South Omaha. Neb, February @.- (special)-This city tonight is on the verge of a race war between the citizens and several hundred Greeks as the result of the murder last night of Policeman Murphy by John Mosmedes, a Greek la borer. whom the policeman had just ar rested for molesting d young white girl. An effort was made late last night to lynch Mosmedes, but he was taken to Omaha by the officers.
 Arrangements have been made for mass meeting Sunday afternoon at the city hall for the expressed purpose of driv- ing all Greeks from the city. All day to- day petitions have been circulated by prominent business and professional men and thousands have signed the call the preamble of which says:
 "A condition of outlawry exists in this city among the Greeks. Many instances of their disregard for our laws have oe- cured during the past year. Their quar- ters are infested with a vile, filthy bunch of Greeks who have attacked our wom- en. insulted pedestrians upon the streets, maintained gambling dens and performed many other acts of vieiousness, culminat- ing in the murder of an officer last night
 Mosmedes, the murderer, is reported to have been removed this afternoon from the county jail in Omaha to the peniten- tiary at Lincoln for safe keeping. How ever the jail is guarded by a detail of police and deputy sheriffs.
 Creeks of the city are staying close to their homes tonight, and on the advice of the police are keeping away from sa- loons The feeling has been very bitter between Greek laborers and those of other nationalities for several months and trouble is likely to result tonight or Sun

COMPROMISE ON
 THE HOUSE RULES

Washington. February 20.-Apparently the House committee on rules, of which the speaker is chairman, has offered the olive branch to the insurgents, and 1t is said the fight for changes in the rules of the House will be compromised. The conservative element of the insurgent forces, who have confined their efforts to getting a calendar Tuesday, or one day in the week for the consideration of bills on the House and union calendars, was given a hearing by the rules com mittee today. It Is understood that the committee agreed to report as a substi- ute, embodying the main features of the resolution introduced by the eight insurgents, which proposed to amend the rules so that the members of the House would be able to obtain recognition on the floor without the necessity of arranging with the speaker beforehand. While the conservatives, Representatives Townsend of Michigan. Foster of Vermont, Scott, Campbell and Anthony of Kansas; Parsons of New York Mclaughlin of Michigan and Rowland of Ohio, declare that they are as radical as the element headed by Representative Gardner of Massachusetts, they claim that favorable action on the proposition to have com mittee on committees and rules, with the powers now vested in the speaker and the committee on rules, would be difficult to get. and would result in conditions worse than those now existing.
 The principal criticism that has been made regarding the present rules is that members cannot obtain the floor for the consideration of bills on the calendars if the speaker does not desire to recognize them The rule providing for calendar Tuesday," it is said by the insurgents, would do away with this difficulty.
