^, _j_ ROCKEFELLER'S OBJECTIONS IfeH ,M One Clause of the Nelson Amend- -- inent Which He Considers Vicious. But He Believes It Has Already * Been Declared to Be Uncon stitutional. & Wow York SUP Special Service. Chicago, Feb. 13.William K. Curtis in a Washington special to the Record-Her ald says: Now that tho dust has blown away and the tempest in the teapot has subsided, it appears that ]\lr. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil company did not ob ject and have never objected to the public ity section of the department of commerce aet, but only to a single sentence in one section. Mr. Rockefeller not only con sents but desires to have the Standard Oil company placed under federal supervision and would be very glad,to recognize and consolidate the several branches of that great corporation into a single company if he could obtain an act of Incorporation 1'iom congress^ Nor has he or any one representing him expressed a different view or wish to any member of either house of congress. It is true that his son, John D. Rocke feller. Jr., II. H. Rogers, John D. Archi bald and Mr. Dodd. the general counsel, did send telegrams last Frid ay to a num ber of senators and representatives with whom they have a personal acquaintance, stating that the Standard Oil company ob jected to certain provisions in the Nel son amendment and would send its at torney to Washington to explain the rea sons. Nearly all of the senators and represent atives receiving the telegrams have seen 'fit to deny that they received them, for fear somebody might think they had inti mate relations with, the great octopus, but Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., and Mr. Rogers do not hesitate to say that they sent signed telegrams and are at a loss to understand why the newspapers have ma de so much fuss about it. They claim that the Stand ard Oil company has just as good a right to protect Itself from unfavorable legis lation as the sugar beet factories or any other manufacturers or industrial inter 'ests in the United States, and declare that those who have been attempting to make a great political sensation -out of this episode are demagogues deserving only of contempt. One of the most intimate friends of Mr. Rockefeller tells me that Mr. Rockefeller i had never objected to the general pub licity provision, but on the contrary ap proved of it. H e did object, however, to the clause in the Nelson amendment which authorizies the commissioner of corpora* tions to search the records, correspond ence and accounts of private corporations which are not indicted for crime. Mr. Rockefeller believes that such au thority should not be intrusted to any official of the government without an or der from a court. This authority is likely to be abused and taken advantage of by any corrupt or dishonest agent of the new bureau of corporations, who under this provision, will be able to ascei'tain, the most valuable business and manufacturing secrets of commercial and industrial cor porations and make any use of theriv. he desires. "-''- Mr.'Rockefeller believes that this clause": is unconstitutional and that it comes un der the decision of the supreme court some years ago, which denied the right of congress to search the books and records of a firm concerning matters which, in ho: way pertained to the government* '-. %%&**' ~ * **- ^^ The attorneys of the Standard'Oil coni'' pany are of the opinion that if it is ever* tested in court it will vitiate the entire publicity law. _ {-. -'x-'i:' Nor is Mr. Rockefeller opposed-to the El kins anti-reba te bill, which has passed the senate and now pending in the house. H e will go so far as to encourage its passage. MINNEAPOLIS-STILLWATER ./ High School Basket Ball Teams Will Meet for Championship Honors. This Evening. Special to The Journal.

From The Journal Bureau, Room 45, Post Build ing, Washington. Washington, Feb. 13.John H . Grout, consul at 'Valetta, Malta, informs the state departme nt that there has been a large increase in the sales of American flour in the island since a year ago and that the prospects for further increase are very flattering. This is erne to direct steamship connection between the United States and the island.

The house yesterday passed Senator Gamble's bill extending the time for the construction of the bridge across the Mis souri river' at Chamberlain, S. D.

English Papers Feel Hurt to See Germany Walking Off With 'v* the Plunder. Washington -Feb. 13.The delay in doss ing up the Venezuelan negotiations is. now with Italy. - Word ta awaited from Rome before the ambassador here can sign the protocol, as the Romftn foreign office was necessarily consulted at the last moment owing to the ehange of the program caused by the readjustment of the German claims. However, it is expected that the delay will not bo great, for all of the parties seem now earnestly desirous to close up this.first preliminary stage at the earliest possible moment for human itarian reasons if for no others, as there is every evidence of intense distress at Caracas. ENGLISH PAPERS "SORE' They Dislike to See Germany Walk Off With the Plunder. London, Fe b. 13.The newspapers here are mu ch dissatisfied because Germany is to receive $340,000 from Venezuela and England only $27,500. Germany, it is ad mitted, has every reason to chuckle. The Daily Mail says the net result of the alliance is^that the relations of England and the United States have been seriously embarrassed at a time wh en the mutual sentiment is unusually friendly and when American opinion was beginning to favor the idea of a British alliance that to the continent this country has been exhibited as still in Germ an leading strings, to the injury of British interests outside of America that at great expense President Castro* has been shown that it is twelve times as serious a matter to injury Ger many as to injure England and that the British foreign office has been made the laughing stock of the .world. The dispatches confirm the statement repeatedly made by English writers like Sir Robert Giffen that the British and German claims for which cash payments were demanded were essentially different and ought not to have been classed to gether. This was a detail which escaped Lansdowne's observation when the iron clad agreement was made with Germany. A feeling of profound relief will follow the announcement that the last obstacle raised by Germany to a .satisfactory set tlement has been removed. VERY WARM INDIAN TIME Plan to Abolish Certain Agencies in the Northwest Is Ap- proved. Washington, Feb. 13A war dance was held in the senate committee on In dian affairs yesterday over the aiinual ap propriation bill for the maintenance of the Indian bureau. A suggestion was advanced to eliminate from the service about a dozen -desirable jobs in the form of Indian agencies in different parts of the United States. .. Canton Asylum Doomed. Another thing that contributed to the gaiety of the occasion w as the recom mendation of th subcommittee that no appropriation should be provided for the maintenance of . the asylum for Indians at Canton, S.' D. This was also inspired by the Indian commissioner. The action of the subcommittee w as followed by an animated discussion in which it was developed that there are more attendants than patients at Can ton and the prominence given this insti tution will undoubtedly result in its ulti mate conversion into a school establish ment. The sum and substance of the deliber ations of the committee, so far as agencies -are concerned, was the abolishment of several of them, including those at White Earth. Minn. Berthold, S. D., and Sisse ton. S. D. Indian Commissioner Jones was anxious for the discontinuance of several, other agencies in the Dakotas, but the commit tee declined to grant his request The commissioner is. quite satisfied .with his , work before the committee, as.this is but the beginning of his campaign in the di-' rection of having Indian agencies plaqed in charge of bonded school superintend ents. Wherever agencies are abolished it is the purpose of the commissioner to place the present agents ip charge as bonded superintendents if they are com petent to perform .their duties. ' Red. Lake Lands. s Provision is made in the bill for the Cession to the government of the eleven townships on the western portion of the Red Lake reservation. The committee refused to incorporate in the measure the treaties with the Rose bud and Devils Lake Indians providing for the purchase of lands in South and North Dako ta for the reason that these meas ures carry direct appropriations. The amendment relating to the Red Lake res ervation provides for the sale of the lands at public auction in tracts of riot to exceed 160 acres to each individual. The mini mum price is fixed at $4 an acre, one-fifth to be paid at the time the bid is made, and the balance in five equal installments. Of the amount realized from the sale of their lands the Indians are to receive $300,000 in cash per capita and the re mainder in fifteen annual installments. Provision is also made for the removal of the Red Lake Indians to their dimin ished reservation. Before this act be comes operative it must be ratified by the Indians belonging to the reservation. The bill also contains a provision refer ing the various claims of the Chippewa Indians of Lake Superior to the court of claims. Another amendment provides for the es tablishment of an Indian agricultural col lege at Wahpeto n, N. D., $100,000 being appropriated for the purpose. THE EIGHTH KEG BILL Senator Nelson Out After It With a Gun. From The Journal Bureau, Room 45, Post Build ing, Washington. Washington, Fe b. 13.Senator Nelson will oppose the passage of the bill to for bid brewers from putting up beer in one eighth barrels and making the smallest fraction of a barrel the sixth. This bill has. passed the house and is designed to help the big brewers who want to increase their bottle trade. I t is inimical to the interests of the small brewers who make more or less of a specialty of the eighth keg in supplying country trade. Senator Nelson has succeeded in defeating this legislation in the past, although strong pressure was broug ht to bear to secure its adoption. The senator said to-day he did not kn ow what the outcome would be, but as the session is so near the close, there is a good prospect that he will be able to prevent its passage, thus forcing the big brewers to make their fight all over again, as all bills that fail of pas sage before March 4 die with the congress.

L. . ' -. Lf Engineer George A. Ralph in charge of the drainage work in the northwestern part of the sta te for the last t wo years has submitted a detailed report on his work for which $50,000 was appropriated two years ago. Following is a summary of the report submitted to the senate drainage committee: The L-ost River ditch in Polk and Bel trami counties is 3.7 miles long and cost $3,867.24. It benefits 30,000 acres and has enhanced the value of the land from $3 to $5 per acre adding at least $12,000 to the value of state swamp lands and will con vert a bog into tillable land. Yeager Lake ditch is Ave miles long and cost $5,280.54. It flows into the Crow river and drains land which w as annually over flowed. Over 3.000 acres of sta te land and 10,000 acres of private lands are bene fited. Ewardville ditch in Red Lake county is Ave miles in length and cost $3,010. It drains 5,000 acres and the land Is selling from $8 to $14 per acre. Badger and Skunk Creek ditch in Ro seau county is S.3 miles lang and drains into the Roseau river passing through rich prairie land. It drains 20,000 acres in cluding 4,000 acres of state swamp and school lands. The cost w as $13,261.96. GoodhoRe ditch in Norman county is 2.12 miles long furnishing an outlet for miles of county and township ditches. The cost w as $5,287.77. New Solum, in Marshall county, ditch is four miles long and cost $5,795.77. I t drains from 3,000 to 4,000 acres increasing the value of stattf lands by at least 10,000. Grand Marais ditch in Polk county is a mile in length and cost $1,839.55. It drains miles of stagnant water which was the cause of mu ch sickness. Silver Leaf ditch, in Becker cojanty, is two miles long and cost $878^75. It drains 2,000 acres, the state lands being increased in value by not less than $4,000. Gun Lake ditch, in Aitkin county, is 5% miles long, costing $5,886.60. . The sta te owned 12,000 acres in this section, of which 6,000 acres were sold last fall at an average price of $8 or $3 over the ap praisal. The total construction in the last two years is 36.6 miles, and the total cost is $44,956.18. The number of acres benefited is 83,000 acres and the estimated benefits will be $248,000, the advantage to the state being $94,500. The report of George A. Ralph is sup plemented by a report from the drainage commission stating that Mr. Ralph has been too conservative by far in estimating values, as some of the sta te lands,, in stead of selling at an increase of $3 per acre over the appraised value of $5 have been sold for $14 per acre. The state is benefited at-least $330,000 worth.

IRELAND ON .,..AIEMCA Patriotic Speech at the Banquet Given by the Chicago Lincoln Club. - Chicago, Fe b. 13.Archbishop Ireland w as the guest of honor at a banquet given at the Auditorium Hotel by the Lincoln? Club. He-said in part: "The republic is what she is because she has vitally remained whaCt Lincoln in tended her to be, what Lincoln bade her to be, a government of the -people, fp the people and by the people. ' This isr what she must remain if she is still to live and reign. The vital principles of democracy must remain with her. The flag inust mean equality-before the law in civil and political rights. It matters not what a man Is place of birth, what his religion, what the color of his face, if he is an American'-'citizen the laws of the land must shield him. the favors of the land must flow upon him. "To announce, for instance, that the citizen who is black must not aspire to a political office, must not approach the ballot box, is to war against American in stitutions. To hold populations in per petual tutelage, whether on our immediate continent or in islands beyond the seas, is to set aside Lincoln's principles. Delays may be counseled often delays should be counseled, for the questions always call for an answer. Ai*e children to be made to walk as adults? Are populations inca pable of self-government. to be allowed, for their destruction, its privileges? But when the time comes that such popula tions have ripened into self-governing manhood the rights of that 'manhood must be theirs, and meanwhile the mission of the flag is* to hasten them toward such manhood.^ The day must be expected when our territories will be states, wh en our island possessions will be states. Abid ing dependencies cannot be the appendage of a republic. - "I rejoice in the territorial aggrandize ment that has come to America, and no fixed limits would I dare to put yet to fur ther such aggrandizements, but always and everywhere would I hold out to new friends and new brothers the hope and promise that in due time fullest civil and political equality with myself and my fel low Americans shall be the rewa rd of their loyalty and good citizenship. "The United States is by force of irre vocable events an international power. She cannot isolate herself her interests are amid all peoples and their interests are amid her people. Our pride in our growth is that she gows in greatness, and we have np jealous eye as she enters into new spheres of duty and l'esponsibilities. Our prayer is, may she ever, be at peace with her sister nations of the world be it not hers to provoke them to anger and enmity. But we insist other nations must honor and respect her as she deserves. No foreign nation, no combinatioin of for eign nations is' to be allowed to turn her backwa rd from her traditional policies, restrict her legitimate field influence or hurt in the smallest degree the prestige of her,name. This we cannot permit. Our loyalty forbids that we do so. A nd while we will not submit ^o interference from the outside, let her confine- her energies within her own bosom,, and see to it that we ourselves be not unconsciously per ha ps among such enemies, weakening by false doctrines or perilous practice the current o"f her life blood, rendering her less strong, less bold, less .American."

HOUSE Not In session day, 2 p. m I - Senator Sam Lord's perseverance in heading off attempts at long, recesses gave Senator A. R.
