CMIELL BALKSTMNESE EMPRESS
MORGAN'S QUERIES
'Another Sparring Match as
to Big Ditch.
Washington, March 1.William Nel-
-,:*son Cromwell again was on the, stand
fv'today at the investigation of. canal
i-affairs before the senate committee on
Mnteroceanic canals. Senator Morgan,
began his examination by inquiring conceived
eerning the financial difficulties of the
old Panama Canal company and the
extensions granted by Colombia to the
receiver and later to the new Panama'
Canal company. The questions particu
larly had reference to the 5,000*000
francs in stock set aside for Colombia
in the new company in consideration of
the formation of the new company.
Mr. Cromwell said he had no part
in getting that concession, and after
replying to several questions^ that he
had no knowledge on the subject, said
finally: I can claim no ^credit for
that.*'
_."'- "If there was any discredit -1 pre
sume you do not wish to claim it,'' said
Mr. Morgan.
Sees No Discredit.
*'T cannot see that there was any
discredit in the company getting an ex
tension and paying its money for it,"
rejoined Mr. Cromwell.
'"You don't?" asked Mr. Morgan.
"That very extension cost 100,000 lives
and six millions in debts."
I have seen no trace of the horrors
you mention," said Mr. Cromwell.
Returning to the history of the Pan
ama canal companies, Mr. Morgan re
ferred to letters and telegrams sent by
Mr. Cromwell to the former secretary
of state (Mr.. Hay) prior to the last
extension by Colombia. The ^senator
held these in his hand, but did not read
them. Mr. Cromwell admittedwriting
the letters, buyt declined to say whether
the communications were true, and
would not say he remembered their con
tents. .:.l:-:::-
War Threatened.
The correspondence contained the
statements that war was about to break
out in Colombia, and gave evidence
that Mr. Cromwell was cognizant of
'6 conditions in that republic. After
witness had declined to discuss the
""Setters, Mr. Morgan asked if the declin
ation was because of duties to hia
cUente.
You know that to be the case, sen-
atoY," said Mr. Cromwell.
I don't know it and I don't be
lieve it," said Mr. Morgan, testily.
"Then your faculties have not their
full powers,'' replied the witness.
."I should be sorry if they had if
they caused me to gloss over the.truth
that manner," said Mr. Morgan.
Mr. Morgan was taking up the his-
*^ry of Colombia at the time when the
republic engaged in a controversy with
the Panama Canal company and later
rejected the Hay-Herran treaty, when
the committee at noon took. a recess
until 2 p.m.

H1DLEY DETERMINED TO
CATCH ROGKEFELLER
New York, Match JLThree, profes
sional process-servers, were on the trail
of'John D\ Rockefeller yesterday, but
when night came they were no nearer
their quarry than they were in the be
ginning. Two of them kept cold vigil
in Firty-third and Fifty-fourth streets,
while the third beat over the Rockefel
ler estate in Pocantico hills.
The announcement was made official
ly today that Attorney General Hadley
had determined to haul the Standard
Oil magnate before the courts for ex
amination in the suit against the corpo
ration by the state of Missouri if it
takes a year to catch him. The attor
ney general has announced that Mis
souri is prepared to spend a fortune in
the effort to get Rockefeller.
Henry Wollman, counsel for Missouri,
in the suit of that state against the
Standard Oil company, appeared before
Judge Gildersleeye? in the supreme
court and filed application for an order
directing Henry H. Rogers to answer
the questions which he refused to
answer before Commissioner Sanborne
in the recent hearing. A hearing was
agreed upon for Monday.
INDIANS TO CONTINUE

Washington, March 1.The house,

cBtlnent Doctors Praise its Ingredients.
1 'We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff
f THK ECLECTIC MBUDICAI. REVIEW says
of Unicorn root (Helanias Dtolca) which
is one of the chief ingredients of the "Fa-
Tdritremedy
Prescription"
A which Invariably acts as a uter
ine inviaror&tor makes for normal ac
tivity of the entire reproductive system."
Be continues "in Helonias we have a medica
id stent which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug with which I am
acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe
culiar to women it is seldom that a case Is
seen which does riot present some indication
for tills remedial agent." Dr. Fyfe further
tars: "The following are among the leadinff
Indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). Pain
or sifilnff in the back, with leucorrhcea
atonic (weak) conditions of the reproductive
organs of -women, mental depression and ir
ritability, associated with chronic diseases of
the reproductive organs of women, constant
sensation of heat in the region of the kid

ened condition of the reproductive system
amenoCTboea (suppressed or absent monthly
periods), arising from or accompanying an
abnormal condition of the digestive organs
and anaemic (thin blood) habit dragging

If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better tlan take Dr. P'erce's Favorite

and the medical properties of which it
most faithfully represents.
Of Golden Seal root, another prominent
Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription,"
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. J)., of Ben

It is an Important remedy in disorders of
the womb. In all catarrhal conditions
and general enfeeblement, it is useful."
Prof. John M. Soudder, M. D., late of

IDEAD, IS REPORT
Tsi-An Stricken, According to
Hongkong Rumor American
Fortress in Peking.
Hongkong, March 1.It is reported
here that the empress dowager is dead.
Telegrams received here from Nan
chang say that the subprefect is in a
precarious condition from a wound re
when he was stabbed by a Chin
ese Roman Catholic convert. This stab-!
bing is said to have been the cause of
the recent riot at Nan-chang.
Riots have taken place in the south
ern part of the province of Honan.
Several native Christians have been
killed, but no foreigners have been in
jured. The riots are the result of an
anti-Catholic uprising.
The or Roman Catholic
priests
amassacre Nan-chan was the result of
the priests' action in issuing an appeal
for subscriptions to their church in the
form and with the characters used for
official documents. The officials pro
tested and the priests refused to. ac
knowledge that they had done anything
wrong.
Ammunition has been issued to the
police of Peking, who were recently
armed with rifles in- addition to their
clubs. The government suspects the in
stigators of the recent bomb outrage
of endeavoring to implicate China with
the foreign powers with the object of
overthrowing the dynasty.
American Fortress in Peking.
Washington, March 1.An American
fortress nas been constructed at
Pekingt the Chinese capital, for the
protection of the American minister,
the attaches and American citizens in
China. This fortress is known officially
as the American' legation, and is the
first official residence owned by the
American government abroad. The
buildings were constructed by Sydney
W. Meeley, assistant supervising archi
tec of the treasury department, who
was sent to China more than three
years ago for the purpose of designing
and constructing them. He returned
to Washington today and reported to
the secretary of state that his worjt had
been completed. The buildings are
built of brick and stone, ayd are of
very solid construction. The largest
building is for the use of the minister
and cost about $30,000.
Doubted in London.
London, March 1.The rumored
death of the dowager empress of China
Is regarded here as wholly improbable.
It originated in a vague rumor from
Hongkong and neither the'British gov
ernment nor the Chinese legation here
has had any intimation of it.

Indians from Pine Ridge reservation, who are
here to see Indian Commissioner Leupp about a
statement of the funds received from the sale of
the Great Sioux reservation under the treaty

$6,000,000, but has charged against it various
sums expended for education and other purposes,
whtch aggregate about the same amount, leaving
nothing due the Indians. The latter claim that
some of the things for which they have been

Journal Special Sorvice.
Chicago, March 1.Universal blind
ness is to be humanity's tribute to
electricity-the monster which man's
genius has unchained. Possibly in this
twentieth centurywith a mock glory
styled the age of electricityhuman
eyesight will flicker out under the in
fluence of the gigantic fluid it has
found too powerful for man's delicate
physical organism.
This is the theory expiessed by Dr.
H. Preston Pratt, X-ray and therapeutic
expert, in the trial of a personal injury
suit. The Union Traction company is
being sued for $50,000 damages in be
half of Ruth Bostrom, who is declared
to be partially blind and paralyzed
from an electrical current which passed
from the atmosphere thru her body
April 10, 1902. Dr. Pratt, who is said
to be the pioneer of X^ray therapeutics
in the west, was the specialist on the
stand.
Eye specialists have been the first
to discover the corroding effects of the
electrical currents being generated by
millions of dynamos in every corner of
the civilized world, explained the wit
ness. Day or night, we are neyer free
from its influence, he. said. The mora
sensitive the person's organism, the
quicker and easier will he or she De to
feel the electrical effects. The eyes, the
most delicate portion of the human
body, will su'ffer first.
Dr. Pratt cited the increasing, preva
lence of failing eyesight. Later will
come a gradual sensitizing and burning
of the nands, and the physician ex
hibited his own, with the scars just
healing, from burns induced by passing
a dynamo.
The wavering of the incandescent
globe, the sputtering brightness of the
arc light, the glaring white of the.
vacuum tube were specified as the
agencies which already have made the
Americans a "spectacled and blinking
nation." The shock from a telephone
battery, the spark of a "jumped" trol
ley pole, the snap and crackle of the
power-station dynamo and motor were
cited as stronger but less ever-present
contributors to the same effect.

Bede Hurries to Get Provision for
Any Kind of Action by
Congress. i
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, March 1.Representa
tive Bede has been compelled to act
with great hqste in order to set any
thing into the* public building bill cov-'
ering the situation at Duluth. Promi
nent people in. that city have wanted
him to have experts sent there to look
the situation over, but there is no time
for this, as the bill may be reported any
day. The best Bede can do now will
be to have inserted in the bill a provi
sion authorizing the Supervising archi
tect *s office to provide either for a new
building at Duluth or for the enlarge
ment of the presnet building. This will
permit the expert, investigation of the
question after the bill becomes a law,
and will do no injustice to anybody.
It has been suggested that the prob
lem might finally be solved by extend
ing the fire limits, thus permitting the
lower floor of the present building to
be extended to the alley. This would
radically enlarge the floor space.. This
extension might also be carried up one
story for the oenefit of the courts.
County There First.
"We could have fixed the thing all
right," said Mr. Bede today, "had we
been permitted to buy the lot oh First
street, adjoining the present build
ing. But the county got in ahead of
us, and all the additional land that is
now available is in the rear of the pres
ent building, up the steep hillside. We
were toldhere that such an extension
would not be practicable, that it would
be really opening up a mine instead of
building a postoffice, and that we would
strike ore before we would get hold of
any mail matter. All that can possi
bly be done for the interests of Duluth
I shall do, and this matter shall have
my undivided attention until disposed
of."
Eaton's Job Safe.
Representative Bede says the ap
ointment of Guy Eaton to be postmaB
at Duluth will not be an infraction
of the new administration policy of
keeping postmasters in office as long as
they give high-grade service.
"Inad made the arrangement to
have Eaton given this place long ago,
months before the administration an
nounced its policy," said Mr. Bede this,
morning, "and I told the postmaster
general that he had no right to promul
gate a policy thta would be ex post fac
to in its operation. He finally agreed
with me/and that's all there is of the
matter.'' COLIHENMRSONl

Dubuque, Iowa, March 1.The fun
eral of former Speaker David B. Hen
derson was held today. A remarkable
tribute was paid to his memory. Busi
ness was suspended during the hours of
his. funeral, and for five minutes follow
ing the beginning of the services the
bells in every church in Dubuque tolled.
Otherwise silence reigned, not a wheel
turning in the city during that period.
The body was taken under escort of
the Elks to St. John's Episcopal church,
where it lay in state, the Dubuque mili
tary company acting as a guard o]f
honor. The flowers were magnificent.
There were six wdgonloads of them.
The Episcopal funeral service was
read by Rev. John C. Sage. George*
D. Perkins of Sioux City, a former
colleague in congress, pronounced the
eulogy.
The G. A. R. took charge of the body
after the service at the church. The
funeral procession was led by the-mili
tary company with muffled drums, fol
lowed by the G. A. R. and kindred
organizations and the Knights Tem
plar. A riderless horse bearing a sol
dier's accoutrements, with boots re
versed, was led behind the hearse.
Services at the grave in Linwood
were conducted by the Knights Tem
plar and the G. A. R. A military squad
fired three volleys over the grave and
sounded taps. The Iowa genetal as

Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Minn., March 1.The propo
sition to divorce the Duluth and Su

been going along swimmingly and was
generally accepted as practically con
summated, has been brought up with a
sudden jolt, and Duluth baseball mag

All this is because tljey

The Duluth men lead that one league

that the Copper Country league.has no
right to infringe npon this territory.
The Duluth men have not yet nad
time to find a loophole if therVislranv
and admit that it appears on the face
of things that they will have to make
the beBt of' the Northern league and
break off negotiations with the Cfopper
Country. They don't like the situa
tion, for they have never made' any

think they could in the other, but it

Journal Speoial Service, _~?
New York, March I,The statement
.comes from an authoritative source
that E. H. Harriman^has been admon
ished by powerful financial interests
that if he persists in his attempt to
drive Stuyvesant F^slt out-of the presi
dency ofi.the^Jlhnoifli Central railroad,
he will antagonize influences in position
to exact reparation. Notwithstanding
this, it is said that Henry H. Rogers
and E.. H. Harriman discussed in the
latter offices- in tj&e Equitable build
ing today, -plans for carrying on the
fight against-Fish..''..'.
The ousting of Mr. Fish and the ac
quisition 'of control o the Illinois Cen
tral by Mry Harriraan. would mean* it
is saiclj much more than the settlement
of a bitter-personal feud. The-Illinois
Central owns majy millions of.secur
ijties of other companies which, under
the conservative policy of Mr. Fish,
have been carried on the books at their
actual cost, while their market value
is more than-^double their cost. Skilled
financiers could easily manipulate their
disposition on lines favorable to them
selves.
The traffic arrangements made by
Mr. Fish: fop the Illinois Central are not
favorable to-the Union Pacific, which
is controlled"by Mr. Harriman.
Mr. Fish, it is said," has the backing
of all of the otheT large stockholders'
except the Union Pacinc-Harriman in
terests, and Mr. Fish has the confidence
of nearly all of the many thousands
of others who own a. clear majority
of the Illinois': Central's capital stock.
Colonel S, J-. Astor, Cornelius
Van*Secretaryr
derbilt and'R. W. 'Goelet are heavy
stockholders and directors of the Illi
nois Central.. All of these interests
have intimated very plainly that in"
the event of any hostile movement
against Fish they will line up with
him. Well-informed persons say, fur
thermore, that foreign stockholders, and
there are a great many, are too 'well
satisfied with the present condition of
Illinois Central affairs to consent to a
change in management.

Out of the every-day experience of a
railroad manager (and sounds as if it
might be a verbatim ^report: of what
took place only- the day before in Mr.
Stickney's office. Now, what are the
facts?
Facts as Given by Armour.
"The rate on'.,dressed meats from
Missouri river pointsKansas City,
Omaha, St. Joseph and Sioux City
to Chicago is 20 cents a hundred, and
18% cents on thru business. That was
the.rate when Mr. Stlckney made the
statement above quoted. It had been
the rate for more than three years. It
will continue to be the rate for more
'than three years longer.
"That rate ifras' fixed by a formal
legal contract between Mr. Stickney's
road, the Chicago Great Western, and
the Missouri fiver packersa contract
executed in 'the summer of 1902 and
made binding for seven years. And
Mr. Stickney was" so well pleased with
that contract that he made execution
of it the occasion of a circular letter
to the Great Western stockholders, in
which he explained (and almost
boasted of) what''a good bargain the
railroad
hadthat
driven,
withn
the
packerfs meant a advance ,,o
per cent over rates previously pre
vailing and that meant a. 50 per cent
increase in the. railroad's net earnings.
"Mr. Stickney-also made it appear
in his circular that, the new rate was as
high a rate, the, Great Western be
lieyed, as could.be justly exacted from
the packers, in view of the small mar
gin of profit in.the packers' business.
'-*Jt is instructive to note the differ
ence between Mr, Stickney talking to
general public about freight rates and
President Stickney telling his stock
holders in a confidential circular what
a good bargain he has made with the
packers. I nave only to add.that loose
tongued talk and undigested generaliz
ing by men supposed to speak authori
tatively, have had much to do with pre
judicing the public mind against the
packers.", i
The Threat of Death.
The threatening letter which Mr. Ar
mour gives to the public evidently was
inspired by an article which appeared
in McClure 's magazine. The writers
of the letter declare, they have been
reading about Armour and his kind of
commercial tyrants "in McClurfe 's.
They declare it is high time or. the
packers to cease their, "gorging upon
the sweat and blood of the people'' and
express the belief that the Russian plan
of dealing with oppressors is the only
practicable way of delivering the people
from the grip of the tyrannical packers.
The letter, which. Mr. Armour de
elates, wai typewritten, goes on to- ex-
plain that the writers have banded
themselves "together? in organization
known as the
vigilancan committee for
the public safety!'" The committee
closes with, the announcement thaL.it
has, condemned Mr,* Armour to death,
that he cannot escape the execution of
the warrant and that if he does not fall
today he will fall tomorrow.

ADAMS DEFENDS
HOUSE INSURGENTS
Wisconsin Congressman Criticizes
Speaker's Rule as Against
Free Government.
New York, "March "1.Representative
Henry C. Adams of Wisconsin, in a
notable address before the Wisconsin
society of New York, at its annual din
ner at the Hotel Astor last night, dis
cussed the recent "insurrection" in
the national house of representatives,
and defended the position taken by the
republicans who broke away, from their
party in acting upon the Philippine and
joint statehood bills.
Mr. Adams inveighed against the
absolutism of the speaker's rule in
the lower branch of congress and while
expressing the warmest admiration for
Speaker Cannon personally, he de
clared the conditioners the house are
such as should not exist in a free gov
ernment and will not exist when the
people realize the facts.
Friends, Not Enemies.
Turning to' President Roosevelt, and
his share in the direction of the re
publican party, Mr. Adams said the so
called "insurgents," instead of being
enemies to the president, were his
friends and admirers.
But." he declared, there are
other things to be considered besides
a president's will. Are men elected to
congress to represent the people or be
but the agents of the executive de-
sire?"
Mr. Adams added that President
Roosevelt had never sanctioned such
a doctrine and he believed he never
would. i
Eulogy of La Follette.
Anothe speaker of the evening was
of State Walter N. Houser
of Wisconsin, who reviewed "Recent
Political Events in Wisconsin."
Mr. Howser devoted the opening of
his address to a eulogy of Senator La
Follette, who, he said, had triumphed
over his opponents after many set
backs, sketching briefly the events in
the political upheaval in Wisconsin.
Mr. Houser concluded:
"And now, what have we accom
plished in our state? -We have enacted
a primary election law which gives
every elector the right to cast his vote
drectly, without espionagea secret
ballot. Legislation has Been enacted
which has resulted in the- assessment
of railroad properties upon the ad
valorem system, the same as other
property is assessed in^ our, state, -and
their taxes have been increased about
three-fourths of a million'dollars in
consequence.
Railroad Regulation.
A law was enacted by the last leg
islature creating a railroad commission
appointed by the,, governor,, which, was
given power to fix rates that the rail
road companies may,( eharge for the
transportation of persons and prop
erty. These three things for which the
reform forces have been fighting have
been secured. And to hold what we
have gained, to suffer no loss by rea
son or the subterfuge, of enemies or
the apathy of friends, we will keep on"
fighting, fighting as we .have always
fought, clean and square, until politics
and government in the badger state
Shall be the pride of her people and AfL
example for sister states. We think1
the object well worth the effort."

in the crowd, were .reared, it is said,
was in Harrison street, when they
broke into the home of George Miller,
an inoffensive negro. Miller and his
wife were forced to flee for their lives,
coatless, hatless and barefooted, get
ting out thru the basement. They ran
and jumped over a' wall to the railroad
tracks. Miller stumbled along the
railroad tracks and reached the city
building in .safety, where he told a
most pitiful, tafe to the military au
thorities and Mayor Todd. As he
looked back he could see his house on
fire.
Another wanton attack was made at
1'5 York street, where tho two negro
families, one of John Logan and the
other or Noah Ingram, resided. Both
families escaped from the house, altho
Mrs. Logan stood in her back yard arid
watched the house set on fire. "They
turned over the stove, upset the almp
and broke up everything in the house/'
said Mrs. Logan, when asked how they
set fire to her home.
I do not anticipate any trouble to-
day," said Mayor Todd this morning.
Of course, I shall keep the saloons
closed until everything is quiet again.

Mrs. Mary Mag, 423 College Aye., E. Pittsburg, Pa., writes:
'Last spring I had a very severe cold which settled on my lungs. I went to
the doctor for some time, but his medicine did me no good.
"Having read in the paper some testimonials of the value of Peruna, I
decided to try it, and at the same time wrote to Dr. Hartman for advice. I took
five bottles of Peruna and am now entirely cured.
"Before taking Peruna I was so run down that I could do no work and could
not stand on my feet. My head ached and I could not sleepI would wake up
and cough. In the morning, on rising, I would cough for at least ten minutes.
I was alarmed.
"But, thanks to Peruna, I am now enjoying good health. I would not be
without Peruna. I keep it in the house and give it *o_?ry_U1tte boy when fc
has a cold."

or they are treated
in such a way as
to only palliate the symptoms, while the
cold becomes more deep-seated and the
patient finally awakens to the fact
that she has a well-developed case of
catarrh.
By reason of their delicate structure
the lungs are frequently the teat of a
cold,- especially if there is the slightest
weakness of these organs. The treat
ment of catarrh of the lungs is also more
difficult and discouraging than catarrh
of any other organ of the body.

San Francisco, March 1.A thief,
who evidently thought he was obtaining
jewels which would support him for
life, looted a case in the state mining
