Washington, March 8.—For some
time past the. Turkish government has
been endeavoring to get the powers
to consent to an Increase of the rate
per cent on tariff duties that may be
collected on imports into Turkey.
Originally five per cent, the rate has
been raised to seven and a half per
cent and it is now proposed to further
increase* the figure 'to ten per cent.
J'ost of the powers have taken the po
sition that there should be .some re
turn from Turkey for a concession of
such importance.' At last accounts
Great' Britain was holding put for
such a return and our government let
it be known that it would be much
more ready to accept the increase, if
the Turkish government would settle
some of the outstanding missionary
claims, and admit our contention.s as
to, .jurisdiction of courts in Turkey
and rights of naturalized citizens.
Minister Lelshmann has made several
strong representations recently to the

STATEHOOD
Senate Convened Early Today
for Discussion—Few
Were1 Present.
AHKOciated Pre™ to The Evening Timc.t.
Washington, March S.—The senate
met at 11 o'clock, an hour earlier than
usual, in order to afford additional
time for the discussion of the state
hood bill, but it looked for a while as
though that object would be frustrated
by the lack of attendance on the part
of the senators. When the hour for
meeting arrived not a single seat in
the chamber was occupied, but Vice
President Chaplain entered through
the north door, McCumber and Gearin
appeared at the opposite entrance and
Teller and Patterson came in a few
minutes later. The other senators
were slow in making their appearance
and at 11:05', when McCumber began
to speak on the statehood bill, less
than a dozen senators .were in their
seats.
Senator McCumber introduced his
speech by presenting a substitute for
the Statehood bill creating one state
of OKlahbrua and another of Indian
territory, the latter under the name of
Sequoia, in hon&r of the Cherokee
scholar of that name and entirely
eliminating New Mexico and Arizona.
He made an argument against the con
solidation of the territories into fewer
states, contending that the/more west
ern states were necessary to give the
agricultural'.and other trans-Missis
sippi interests a strong representa
tion in congress. He predicted in the
near future that the west would have
much larger population than the
east and said that even if the present
boundary lines were preserved it
would still be impossible to secure
as many, states as there were east of
the Mississippi and'that therefore the
balance of power in the senate must
necessarily be agUnst the western
section.
Senator McCumber declared the
time would come when the east would
find Its pitoeetgon in the west He
referred to .the Influence of foreign
lmiqjgratlon in the eastern communi
ties and In this connection, said that
at it* last election Chicago had elected
a socialist as mayor. '#3

ritory, was addressed in convention
today by Bert. William,-, mayor o[ Ash
land, Wis. Serious consideration is

NEW LEAGUE THE OUTCOME.
President, Price Returns From Duluth
ami Reports oil Baseball.
Winnipeg, Duluth, Fargo, Grand
Forks, Calumet, Hancock, Houghton
and Lake Linden are the cities that
have practically decided to become
identified with the Northern Baseball
league during 190G. This will make
the strongest combination by far that
the Northern league has had.
President W. J. Price of the league
returned last evening from Duluth and
the copper country, where he spent
about a week in hard work with the
object of getting the copper country
eit'es of northern Michigan to cast
their lot with the Northern league and
he appears to have been entirely suc
cessful. When Mr. Price left Duluth
yesterday, a committee had been ap
pointed by the Northern league man
agement with full powers to maks ar
rangements with a similar committee
appointed by Calumet, Hancock, Lake
Linden^ipd Houghton to complete, the
plans for those cities to secure fran
chises in the Northern league. All
the cities mentioned have'decided to
become identified with the league and
ail' yiat remains is to make the final
arrangements. Mr. Price expressed
himself as pleased with the situation
and satlsfnH that thp l°a«rue would be
stronger than ever this year.
ine aavauiage oi ndtrmg me copper
cities Is evident from the fact that
they have made the sport a success
financially as well: Calumet is closest
to Duluth and arrangements have
Ir»»»tfpa'v hnon *vHh the rill
roada whereby the round trip to Calu
met from Duiutn wu oe omy fb. Caiti
met, Hancock, Houghton and Lake
Linden are close together and all con
nected by trolley.
It
1B
probable that Mr. Price will
be chosen president of the new or
ganisation anil a secretary will be se
lected from the copper country. There
is a possibility of Hancock and Lake
Linden uniting, thus' giving Iron
Motontain a chance to come in. The
delegation} from both leagues met at
Houston last evening to complete
the pnerger of the two leagues.
6IVIIIG OF REBATES
BY RAILROADS
Attorney General Believes Big
Fraud Has Been Un
earthed.
Aaaoclnted Preaa to The ISvenlnB TlmcN.
Washington, March 8.—Upon being
shown the publication in the New
York American of today regarding the
alleged granting of rebates on the
transportation of sugar, Attorney Gen
eral Moody said:
"Some weeks ago a representative of
that paper called on me and said that
rnformation was in possession of that
paper tending to show that large re
bates on the transportation of sugar
had been given to the American Sugar
Refining company by the trunk lines
of railroads running out of New York
city, and asked if the department of
justice desired to use the information
in legal proceedings. An examination
of the matter showed clearly that it
was highly important and tended to
show the giving and receiving of large
money rebates.
"It is the purpose of the department
to proceed carefully, but with all pos
sible expedition.
"It ought to be said that until this
information was furnished the depart
ment by the represenative of the
American, the department had no
knowledge or suspicion of the facts
and that the representatives of that
paper have aided the officials of the
department in all ways in their
power."

Parjs, March S.—The government
finds itself without a ministry at the
culmination stage of the Moroccan
conference at -Arfgqciras. A semi-oifi
cial .announcement on the subject says:
"The ministerial crisis does not effect
the French policy at the conference."
This is designed chiefly to warn Ger
many not to take advantage of the sit
uation. The fact that the ministerial
staus confuses matters and threatens
an agreement which otherwise might
have been reached today. The vote in
the chamber of deputies last night, re
sulting in the defeat of the govern
ment and the resignation of the cab
inet, also requires that the government
temporarize with the church manifes
tants who are becoming increasingly
demonstrative, particularly the peas
ants. President Fallieres today began
a series of consultations relative to the
formation of a new ministry. He first
conferred lengthily with M. Dubost,
president of the senate, and later re
ceived M. Doumer, president of the
chamber of deputies. No announce

Italians in Train Wreck
Fight Their Rescuers
Aaaoclated Preaa to The Evening Tlmea.
Greensburg, Pa., March 8.—Three
Italians were killed outright and four
or more injured, several it is believed
fatally, in a collision on the Pennsyl
vania railroad near Radebaugh, Pa.,
today between a milk train and a work
train filled with foreigners. The work
train was composed of flat cars load
ed with pipe for the pipe line which
the Pennsylvania railroad is building
from India Creek to Pittsburg. About
75 Italians employed at this work were
also aboard and the train had just
pulled onto the main line from A. sid
ing when it met the milk train in a
t* 1
collision. The two trains came to
gether with terrific force and the men
and iron pipe were hurled in all direc
tions'. The last flat car was tele
scoped and two others demolished, but
the milk train was not seriously dam
aged.
Immediately after the accident the
crew of the milk train went to the as
sistance of the injured, but were forc
ed to flee from the infuriated Italians
who were crazed at the sight of their
dead countrymen. A number of. Ital
ians rushed at the train crew with
threats of vengeance and the crew had
to take refuge on their engine to es
cape the wrath of the foreigners.
CANADIAN PARLIAMENT.
Opens nt Ottawa, Canada, Today—
Tariff Revision Talk.
Evening TIiiicm Special Service.
Ottiiwa, Out., March S.—Parliament
opened this afternoon with the usual
ceremonies. The session pnomises to
be an interesting as well as a pro
tracted one. The principal work of
the session, as is well known, will be
tariff revision.
Canada's present tariff went into
effect in 1S97, when the Liberal party
came into power. It made no radical
change in the fiscal policy, and the
process was one of an adjustment of
items rather than the adoption of any
new system. Canada's aggregate for
eign trade for that year was $257,
000,000. For the fiscal year 1905 it
was 470,000,000, an increase of eightv
three pen' cent. In view of these fig
ures the proposed revision of the tar
iff is not likely to involve sweeping
changes in duties. Apparently there
is no ground for fear that the national
prosperity may be disturbed by the
dislocation of an important part of
the industrial and commercial machin
ery. ^till the need of some reason
able and beneficial adjustment of par
ticular rates is generally recognized,
and the recent investigations of the
tariff commission will be used as a
basis for such an adjustment. De
spite the clamor for higher duties,
the present indications are that the
changes to be made in the tariff will
not be generally toward a greater de
gree of protection than now obtains in
the Dominion.
Iu addition to the tariff the session
is expected to give its attention to a
stringent measure to prevent usury, a
law to bring about a better observance
of the Sabbath, insurance legislation
and several other mutters of lesser im
portance.

Toronto, OiU., March 8.—The suit of
the Dominion government against the
Ontario government for a claim for
$1 ,"32.935.30 came up for hearing to

The claim is made against the Ontario
government for the repayment of cer

cluded iu 1S73. In that year the Crown
purchased 47,000 square mill's of land
from the Salteuux tribe of tlio O.iibway
Indians and settled annuities upon the
chiets. In JS7S the land was made
over to the Providence of Ontario.
Now the Dominion asks that Ontario
repay the amount it spent, on the In
dians and improving the laud. The
Province in reply says that the Domin
ion government made the treaty and
therefore should carry out the condi
tions.
