Philadelphia, March 18.-Although
the many conferences had apparently
been fruitless, all hope of an early
settlement of the street car strike was
not abandoned today. The principal
hitch in bringing the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit directors and the men
together was over the question of
reinstating all the strikers. including
175 men who were dismissed before
the strike was declared. If an agree
ment could be reached on this ques-
tion 1t was believed the union will
instruct all ex-employes to return and
then appoint committees to take up
the grievances with the company.

Just before S o'clock and the counsel
for the defense intimated that no eyi-

side: All day long new witnesses were
called to the stand to add to the yo-

ters and other documents offered by
the prosecution to connect up the va
rious defendants with some specific al
legation made in the indictment.
About $50 Of these exhibits were ad-
mitted. y

st. Petersburg, March 1S.-Russia's
near eastern worries, although num-
erous and obsorbing, have not driven
her far eastern cares into the back
ground for long. The whole question
is now coming to the front again.
Secretary Knox's seemingly modest
but really deep reaching scheme for
insuring Manchuria against the dan
ger of war by neutralizing the Rus
sian and Japanese railways there has
brought it up anew.
That plan will long be remembered
by the diplomacy Of the world as the
pivot Of much that is still underlined
and shadowy, and If it has cleared
the political atmosphere it has also
filled competent observers with q
sense of pregnant issues depending
on the solution.
The naturalization scheme was re-
jected by Japan and Russia absolute
ly, but the proposal to connect Chin
Chau with Algun by railroad aDous
500 miles long was dealt with differ
emily by the government of the czar
and the mikado. NJ. Iswolsky prom
ised to give the subject his careful
and favorable attention, but keenly
alive to the perils of an unwary ad-
vance. he committed himself to moth
ing. Consequently he is now free.
The Japanese statesmen rather hast
lily expressed their approval of the
project. Loath to mortify American
diplomacy by rejecting the whole
scheme, they hoped to conciliate the
United States by acquiescing in the
railway plan.
Since then the Peking foreign office
taking time by the forelock, as good
as sanctioned the agreement struck
up between the viceroy of Manchuria
and the British and American financ-
ing and construction firms. However,
the contract has not yet been definite
ly ratified, for Russia finds it inpos-
sible to reconcile the interests of the
railway scheme in its present shape.
Railroad Q Detrlment.
/ Russian officials assert that the
proposed railway would prove so
detrimental to Russia, commercially
and strategically that the imperial
government would prefer a number
of alternatives. none of which would

nese or other interested parties.
Moreover, China is bound by formal
compact to refrain from granting any

ATTACKS ON ALLDS
Senator Conger Declared Aids
Always Did What He Was
Paid to Do

Albany. N. Y March 1s.-Another
vitriolic attack by Senator Conger
upon Senator Aids marked the clos.
ing hours of the senate bribery in.
vestigation this afternoons 'Hta coun-
sci questioned him about thesletter he
wrote to Aids in May 1901, shortly
after Conger alleges Aids, "held up
the bridge companies for $1,000
bribe.
On the face of 1t. this letter ex-.
presses the most friendly relations
between the writer and the man he
accuses and concluded with the ap-
parently affectionate tribute:
Il know we could rely upon 40"
(Allds.)
When Conger was asked what he
meant by this phrase. he replied
scornfully:
He (Allds) did what he was paid
to do"
II knew he was going to be in the
legislature, explained Conger, and
l was not, and I wanted to keep his
good will. feared he might do the
same thing again.
When Aids attorney asked him:
of other private interests than the
bridge interests?" Conger replied
quickly:
That's hard to say. You never
knew what they were going to prey
upon"
Senator Conger's brief testimony
seasoned an otherwise monotonous
day devoted principally to the evil
dence of his ink experts. Both of
these witnesses contradicted the as
sertion Of the expert employed by
Aids, who declared that the check
stub which Conger's side exhibited as
evidence that the $500 Doodle fund
was drawn from the Groton bank on
April %, 1901, had been "doctored"
by additions made nine years after
the original writing.

London, March 1S.-Ernest Thorn
ton, an Englishman, for some time
employed at Kabul in the organiza-
ticn of the amir's tannery and boot
factory, has, with the aid of his wife.
written an interesting book dealing
with their experiences.
The Amir of Afganistan was very
friendly toward the Thorntons, and
particularly appreciated Mrs. Thorn

dish was treacle pudding. When he
first sampled this delicacy he was so
pleased that he had a portion instant

had to be reused out of his sleep to
taste the royal bounty.

in clothes and occasionally brings a
tailor from India to replenish the
royal wardrobe" says Mr.. Thornton.
After such a revision his majesty
spends days in sorting his discarded
suits, hosiery, gloves, etc.. into lots.
When at last they are all ready he
will call up one of his page boys and,
pointing to lot, say: You may
have those for 80 rupees, and you

may take these for S rupees The
young fellows have no alternative,
and therefore pay. and remove their
bundles without murmuring, as the
amir proceeds with his sale.
Ordered Astrskhan Hats Worn
"One day the government furkeep-
er came into court and told the amir
that many thousands of astrakhan
skins were lying in the stores and
not improving there. Habibullah
Kahn pondered few moments, then
remarked loudly: All my subjects
who love me will wear black astrak-
han hats!"
Nobody was allowed inside the
park next day without a black hat.
BY night every scrap of astrakhan
was sold.'
There are some grewsome stories
of Afgan justice. The amir had given
orders that owing to the scarcity of

Last Nights Battle
Encouraged by their repeated VIC
tories over the speaker and the regu-
lar Republicans of the house the in
surgents started an aggressive move
ment for change in the rules of the
house for the purpose of eliminating
Speaker Cannon from the committee
on rules and curtailing his power in
legislative matters.
Without a note of warning that so
radical proposition would be
brought up with the apparent support
of a majority of the membership of
the. house, Representative Norris of
Nebraska, late in the afternoon OBJ
tained the floor and offered resolu-
ton for a change in the rules of the
house.
For several months the insurgents
had been looking forward to this cul-
mination of their efforts to UNDER
mine or destroy the power of the
speaker, but there had been little or
no thought of any possibility that the
battle for ascendancy would be fought
so soon.
Mr.. Norris insisted that the Ian
guege of the constitution gave his
measure the same privilege that
Speaker Cannon had claimed for a
resolution relating to the taking of
the census. He asked that this resolu-
ton be placed before the house at
once.
Battle is On.
On both the Republican and Dem
ocratic sides nearly every member
was in his place, and all realize that
at least the insurgents were locking
horns with the regular Republicans
for what might prove death strug-
gle. On both sides of the house, the
whips" realizing the necessity of
obtaining their full voting strength,
put in motion all their resources for
the summoning of absent members.
kilograms were sent to those who
were absent on leave and had lef. the
city. Taxicabs were ordered to make
quick trips to the hotels and res.-

to be in Washington who were not on

The news of the impending strug-
gle soon spread about the city and the
galleries that had been but half filled
became crowded.
Mr. Norris whose seat is on the
Democratic side of the chamber, ap-
pealed to the speaker for ruling in
favor of the immediate consideration
of his resolution. He insisted that the
time had come for action by the
house, so that it might take into its
own hands matters affecting legisla-
ton.
Democrats Join.
The attitude of the Democrats to-
ward the movement so suddenly put
under way was made evident by the
prompt endorsement of Mr.. Norris
contentious by Mr.. Underwood of AL
ALBANIA, and by Minority Leader Champ
Clark of Missouri.
Mr.. Underwood insisted that the
language Of the legislation made the

the highest privilege. Minority Lead
