VICTOR MURDOCH BARES
RAILROAD MAIL GRAFT

Washington, Feb. 25.-The House
yesterday concluded consideration OF
the Indian appropriation bill, which 1t
passed practically In the form recon-
mended by the committee on Indian
affairs. The bill carried appropriations
.aggregating about So, $50, 900. Late I'm
the session the House began consider
alton of the ~postoffice appropriation
bill.
The government should enact a new
definition of monopoly in the carriage
of the mails. 1t should not lose the
remunerative mail matters, which is
that derived in the shorter hauls, and
exempt the unremunerative matter In
volving the longer haul" declared Rep
resentative Murdoch, OF Kansas, in
commenting upon the bill.
Mr.. Murdoch cited laws, some Of
which provided for the absolute mo-
noply by the government of all nail
matter, and others which exempted
from that monopoly certain articles,
including newspapers. BY declining
unremunerative business, he explained,
the express companies forced upon the
government the carriage OF all that
class of matter, while they themselves
accepted at a profit the short haul
traffic.
IF the government should under
take to make a horizontal increase in
rates on all second class matter with
out insisting upon absolute monopoly
Of all mail matter" said MI. Murdoch,
1T would simply increase the zone in
which the express companies compete
With the government"
Mr.. Murdoch insisted that business
considerations alone should not be en-
ployed In dealing with the mail serv-
ice. Amos Kendall, he said, by the
introduction of business methods, had
wiped out the deficit existing in the
postal service, but with the result that
ne nearly wiped the postal service
itself.

batants Are Reconciled to
Each Other.

Paris, Feb. 26.-Senators Millies-La-
croix and Listilhac fought a duel with
swords in the Pare Des Princes this

but the seconds stopped the ombat.
The adversaries were reconciled before
leaving the field.
The duel was the outgrowth of a dis
pute among members Of the senate
committee on secrecy of the ballot, Of
which committee Millies-Lacroix is
president. The president called Intel
hac a liar and the latter responded:
My seconds will deliver my answer"

BUDDHIST PRIEST GETS
SAFELY AWAY INTO INDIA

Calcutta, British India, Feb. 26.-The
Dalai Lama, the supreme head of the
Lamaist hierarchy, who flew from
Lhasa on the approach of the Chinese
troops, has made good his escape into
Sikkim, a state of India to the south
of Tibet and adjoining Darjiling, the
British district in which the fugitive
will seek an asylum.
The escape OF the Dalai Lama was a
narrow one, for Chinese troops bent
upon his capture hotly pursued him
TO the borders of Sikkim. The Tibetan
pope travelled day and night and at one
of the numerous ferries the Chinese
overlook the Tibetan party.
His followers, however, engaged their
pursuers, thus permitting time for the
Lama to reach the frontier. But few
of his party were left to him when he
crossed into Sikkim.

RAILROADS SQUEEZE
RATES UP HIGHER YET
Missouri River Points Jolted in
Traffic Meeting at
Chicago.

Chicago, Ill. Feb. 26.-Vostern rail-
roads that last week declared their In
tention of obtaining q larger share Of
revenue from the meat industry by adj
vanclng freight rates on packing house
products from Missouri river cities to
Chicago, carried out their plans to a
still greater extent yesterday evening.
They decided on similar advances be-
tween a large number of western points
whose rates had been affected by the
old Chicago-Great Western contract.
The first advance agreed upon was
from points west of the Missouri river.
in Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas and
other states which base their rates on
the river. Rates from st. Paul to Chi
were raised to the old basis ex-
listing before h contract with the
Great Western.
Specifically it was agreed to add 8
cents to present local rates, and 5 cents
TO through sea-board rates from all
house points west of the Mis-
souri, and to make corresponding in
creases from Missouri river points to
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.
Rates from interior points, such as
Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Ottum-
wa, will be increased at a meeting soon
be held. New rates from st. Paul
are slightly lower than those from
Omaha, although the advance is about
the same. Strenuous complaints have
been received by the railroads from
commercial organizations of Omaha
and Sioux City, Because rates from
these points to Chicago were advanced
While the old charges from Kansas City
and st. Joseph were not disturbed on
account of the refusal of the Alton and
Wabash roads to join in the advances.
This will give decided advantage, it is
declared, to packing interests at Kan
sas City and st. Joseph over Omaha
and Sioux City.
Advances in live stock rates agreed
on last week were made effective by
all the roads
