 SECOND VISIT TO TOWN.
Sudanese Regiments Parade Reviewed Reception at Khalifa's House.

Khartun, March 16.-The Roosevelts paid a second visit to Omdurnan to- day. The town is on the left bank of the Nile and almost opposite Khar- tum. They were accompanied by Bar on Slatin inspector general of Egypt, and other officers and friends The party made the trip on the sirdar's yacht Elin. One object of the ex- cursion was to see the Twelfth Su- danese regiment on parade.
 The Roosevelts visited the khalifa's house, near the center of the town. Nearby the house is the Mahdi's tomb, and within the enclosure is the tomb of Hubert Howard. son of the Earl of Carlisle, who was killed at the bat tie of Kererri, while acting as a war correspondent.
 Colonel Roosevelt received the more prominent of the residents of Omdur- man, at the khalifa's house. After wards the market place and the pie tHresque bazaars were visited and and the mud huts, which predominate, were examined.
 Among the places visited was the house where Baron Slatin was fncar- cerated, following his capture by the Mahdists in 1884 and was held pris- Oiier for thirteen years. The baron related many inteGesting incidents of his experience and pointed out a we'll which he had dug. He dropped a stone into the pit to show it's great depth. Slatin Pasha also showed the place in the mosque where he had been compelled to pray daily. The mosque is now used as a mess room by army officers.

a national scandal which the courts and the legislatures were called upon to put down. Somewhat 1engthily he emnhasized = position that the re- organization or 1ssJ gave the Standard Oil a stronger organization than 1t possessed before an organization which prevented the subsidiary com panies from becoming competing ones.
 He then turned to the question of what constitutes a monopoly. In clos ing he urged the court not to be in- fluenced by the cry that this proceed ing was a blow directed at business, because such a cry had been made often before and proved groundless." Mir. Johnson ReIpies to Wickersham.
 The closing address by Mr. Johnson was partly a reply to MT. Wicker sham. Although the blow may not have come at first, he told the court, when it did come it was too late to cry.
 He paid his compliments to Frank B. Kellogg, author of the petition of the government, filed in the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Missouri. and on which the decree of dissolution be- fore the court for review, was based. MT. Johnson told the court it remind ed him of the contents of the witches caldron in Macbeth in that it appeared to have been made up of a collection from the scrap books of disappointed oil producers and ma ga zinfsts-fe- male or otherwise"
 The best part about it, he told the court was that it ended with pray CT.

BIG CONTRACTS LET BY N. Y. c. AND NEW HAVEN ROADS For the City Within City on It's New
 York Property.

New York, March 16.-Contracts were let today by the New York Central and the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroads for two important units in the city within a. city which is to arise over the Grand Central tracks and yards between Lexington avenue on the east. Depew Palace on the west, and Forty-third and Fifty fifth streets on the south and north, respectively. All tracks will be s11b-surfaces and elec- trif1ed, the express trains running in on an upper level and the local trains on a lower.
 An unbroken doric facade of granite, seven stories high and 460 feet long, now partially completed, will run from For- ty-third to Forty-fifth streets, in which, beside the executive offices and passen- ger facilities of the railroads, will ba housed the Grand Central branch of the United States postofffce. North of the seven story structure are tn. be twin buildings, each thirteen stories high. or equal width, and each a city block in length. It was the contract for these which was let tcsoiay.
 They have already been let to the Merchants and Manufacturers Ex- them a furniture exchange and Grand Central Palace the latter for purposes similar to those of the Madison Square Garden. Between them will run the crosstown streets. which will bridge the tracks below on huge arches of gradual ascent. From Forty thord street to Fiftieth street the tracks will thus be completely covered by tracks and buildings.
 North of the twin thirteen story buildings will be two others of unde- termined height, bounded by the same avenues and corresponding crosstown streets. The whole group of buildings will be nearly. half a mile long, by less than a quarter of a mile wide, accessi- ble by the present subway and those now projected.
 The cost of the outlay has not been announced.

MACON FASHIONABLE
 RESIDENCE SECTION EXCITED Young White Man Attempts Criminal
 Assault-Intruder Escapes.

Macon, Ga, March 16.-within two blocks of the City hall and in one of the most fashionable residence sections of Macon an attempt at criminal as- sau1t was made tonight upon Mrs. J. c. Hanberry a young matron, who, with her husband, are boarders at the home of Dr. w. A. Cleveland on Wash ington avenue.
 Mrs. Hanberry was alone in a room in the rear of the house when her as- sailant a young white man, suddenly 5erked open a window blind and at tackled the woman. Mrs. Hanberry succeeded in freeing herself from the grasp of her assailant. Several occu- pants of the house were attracted by the worfan's screams and hurried to her assistance only to see the depart ing form of the intruder.
 The young woman was prostrated by the shock, but was otherwise un- injured.
 A description of the man given the police tallies so completely with that given of the assailant of Miss Louise Weiss Monday night that officers are led to believe that the man who att lacked Mrs. Hanberry is the same per- son.

LIBERAL CONCESSIONS
 MADE BY BOTH SIDES.
There Will Be Nc Strike on N. Y. c.
 and It's Controlled Lines.

New York. March 16.-The New Fork Central and Hudson River rail- road and it's controlled lines. including xfe Lake Shore and Michigan South ern. Michigan Central. Boston and AL bany and Big Four, reached a tacit understanding this evening after an sIl-day conference with the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of Railway Cond ducteTs that -sfsera shah be no strike because of the lack of concessions In the negotia- e5ona for an increase in wages and changes in the working schedules both sides made liberal concessions, and when the conference was concluded both sides were in the best of humor and joined in a statement that there was not the least likelihood of a strike.
 The result of the conference, it was e13d, would mean a minimum increase of per cent. to the highest paid train- men and conductors and maximum of Is per cent to the lowest paid Also many changes are to be made in the working schedule
 The threatened strike of the f1remen on the western lines has greatly con- fused the situation here. The condhc- tors and trainnen hoped to have their difficulties settled before the firemen presented their demands.
 Demands for a new working schedule c and increased pay will be made jointly by the conductors and trainmen in a few days on the Erie and the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The Penn eX4Eanid IS alTedQy pdy1iS more LIldn the uniform demands of the men and that system will probably escape nego- riatfons- President w. c. Lee of the 1rainTnen and President A. B. Garret- son of the conductors will go to New Haven. Conn, in a day or two to can vass the strike vote now being taken by men on the New York. New Haven and Hartford. They will be accom- panied by the five vice presidents of each Of the two national orders now in this city. The grand councils of both unions held a preliminary conference ir the city today.

HiSGEN COMPLAINS
 TO SECRETARY DICKINSON
Regarding Purchase of Government
 Supplies from Trusts.

Washington, March 16.-Thomas L. Hjsgen of West Springfield, Mass, presidential candidate of the indepen- dence party in the last campaign, wrote to Secretary Dickinson com plaining that the Texas Oil company, which supplies the war department 1t the Standard Oil company. As 2. re- cent executive order prohibits the pur- chase of government supplies from trusts, MT. Hisgen requested the sec retary to terminate the contract with this company.
 Secretary Dickinson has replied that there are two reasons why this request cannot be complied with:
 First, the war department has no knowledge that the Texas company is a trust and can accept nothing less than the decree of a court to that ef- feet. Second, the order does not apply to contracts made before it's issuance, as was the case in the Texas con- tract.

OPERATION OF SHELTERS -
 DESTROYS THE FORESTS
Araconda Copper Go. May Be Com
 peiled to Change Its Methods.

Washington, March 16.-Satisfied that the present method of operating it's smelters by the Anaconda Copper Mining company are not only destruc- tive in a widespread degree of the sur rounding natural foreses but unneces- sary, Attorney General Wiclxersham caused a bill in equity to be filed at Helena, Mont. today against the com pany. The bill. asks for permanent injunction to compel the company to operate it's plant at Anaconda in such a manner as to end the destruction complained of.
 The company has resisted the de- mand of the government that the methods of smeltins be changed and among other contentious has repre- sented that it would cost millions of dollars to do so, besides. the loss ac- cruing from the temporary shutting down of the plants. The attorney gen. eral, however, announces that the suit will be pressed vigorously unless. as he hopes, the company will. cooperate with the government to bring about 9 termination of present conditions.

aFLoRA". WAX BUST EVIDENTLY A FAKE.
Not the Work of Leonardo Da vinei,
 as Represented.

Berlin, March 16.-The dispute Of the Flora" wax bust of a woman which was purchased in Englaud for the Emperor Frederick Museum by the director, Dr. Bode, has been revived hy the publication in a trade paper os the report of Dr. George Pinkus, who has examined the bust and satisfied nini- self that it was not the work of Le1- nardo Da Vinci, as represented. Dr. Pinkus is a noted chemist, and after a minute analysis declares that the work is a composition of lac. spermaceti and beeswax. Spermaceti, the chemist says, was not known prior to 1700, frc,l which he concludes that the bust could not have belonged to the period claimed by those who sold it to I,r. Bode. He also asserts that the English sculptor Lucas always used a mix ture of spermacetf and lac in moLel- ing, and that in all probability he WAS the author of tine work as has been maintained by those who attacked its genuineness.
