RATE BILL
DISCUSSED
SENATOR ELKINS WANTS TO
MAKE MEASURE STRONGER.
HUMAN STIRRED UP
Denies Responsibility for Pending
Bill, but Defends its Purpose.
Tariff Talk In the House.
Washington, D. C, Apr. G. Routine
business occupied the senate a very
few minutes today, after which Sena
tor Elkins took the floor on the rail
road bill. He announced at the out
set his desire to secure legislation
that would secure to the people a
prompt and adequate remedy for theTded until money was loaned at 31
evils, injustices and wrongs of every
kind practiced by the railroads, or
in any way growing out of their op
erations, but said that while he fav
ored the pending bill, he wanted to
make it "better and stronger."
There was a general discussion of
the West Virginia senator's amend
ment requiring the proper distribu-
liuji ut vara ui uuy givtru compa
ny, all agreeing that such an amend
ment would be difficult of enactment.
Tillman was among the senators who
participated in this controversy. Du
ring the progress of discussion El
kins referred to the pending bill as
"Tillman's bill." Mr. Tillman earn
estly disavowed responsibility for the
measure, and .Elkins responded: "You
have got it fastened on you with all
the disgrace attending it," said El
kins. "I repudiate the intimation that
there is any disgrace attached to the
effort to secure a reasonable rate
bill," responded Tillman, and after
he had enlarged somewhat upon his
attitude, Elkins replied that Tillman
had an undue idea of his responsibil
ity to the public. He said that his an
tagonist acted as if he carried the
people in his vest pocket, and must
tafte them out every morning to as
sure them of his continued protec
tion. "
"Oh," responded Tillman, "1 hope
the senator is not disgusted by some
of the petitions that have been sent
me from his own state concerning
railroad conditions."
Elkins replied that this did not
trouble him, but that he felt disposed
to protest against Mr. Tillman's atti
tude as the only friend of the people,
and wanted it understood that he,
too, was a friend of the people.
How Protection Works.
Washington,, Apr. 6. Rainy, of III-
. InntQ ImmpiHatplw nfto. tha hnnfiA
met and the 'Journal was approved,
resumed his speech on the alleged In
justices of the protective tariff. Us
ing the wach trust as a lesson to
show how protection works In be
half of monopolies, the lone Demo
crat from Illinois in the national leg
islature set up a "kindergarten shoot
for stand-pat Republicans." He dis
played a number of watches of Amer
ican make, which he said had been
bought abroad and are now "being re
sold In the United States.
"Why does the gentleman continue
to speak or a watcn trust," asked
Gardner. "I am a stockholder In the
Waltham Co., and I have no knowl
edge that they are In a trust."
"You may have to show that . be
fore the Ways and Means Commit
tee," retorted Rainy.
Rainy read a letter from the
Speaker to a friend In the West. In
which he stated that "Tariff revision
would come in the not distant future.'
"How can it come if the Speaker
does noV want it?" asked Sulzer. ,
"It will come because the next
house will be Democratic," responded
Rainy, which brought applause from
the Democratic side.
Rainy said that in 1S80 there were
27 watch factories in the UniteU
States. "Now there are but 13." He
said there were 15 per cent more
men employed in the factories now
than in 1880, but there were 600 per
cent more women and 200 per cent
more children employed.
After Rainy concluded, Murdock of
Kansas, took the floor in a speech in
favor of the free alcohol bill.

' An Interesting Character.
Col. Max Kirchman, of Socorro, N.
M., who ' visited Roswell this week
to investigate the artesian well prop
osition, is a character , of unusual int
erest. Born in Klattau, Bohemia, he
was educated in Vienna, Austria. He
followed his parents to America when
about fifteen years of age, they hav
ing preceded him and having located
at Pittsburg. Shortly after his arrival
Mr. Kirchman went ( Into the candy
making . business, and for twelro
years continued this work. He then
moved . to Chicago, where he was in
the confectionery business 23 years
All this time he was prospering as
men of his nationality and attain
ments always prosper.
Last September Mr. Kirchman mov
ed to New Mexico, settling at So
corro. He had conceived a plan to
help his countrymen who are in the
crowded cities of America by bring
ing them to Socorro and establishing
an immense Bohemian colony. It will
be his effort to bring only industrious
and reliable men and women who
have sufficient means to bfiy ten or
twenty acre tracts and get started at
truck gardening and fruit raising.
These people he will bring in large
excursions from the cities every few
weeks. The first excursion came this
week, and it was expected to consist
of four or fire hundred people. All
who come to see Socorro are not ex
pected to stay. But a large percentage
will probably locate.
Water is the only thing needed to
insure the success of the colony. Col.
Kirchman hopes to find an artesian
flow in the vicinity of Socorro.
o
A "HUNGER STRIKE."
Political Prisoners Threaten to Starve
Themselves to Death.
Moscow, Russia, Apr. 6. The polit

jails are crowded have declared a
"hunger strike," refusing to partake
of food to compel the authorities to
either bring them to immediate trial
or order their release. Many of the
prisoners have been three months in
jail without being confronted with
the charges against them. The deter
mination of the political prisoners to
starve themselves has increased the
excitement caused by the election
campaign.

ARBITRATION
PROPOSED
MINERS WILL MAKE NO MOVE
UNTIL MONDAY.
MITCHELL REPLIES
Will Submit Proposition to Interna
tional Executive Board. He Says
Anthracite and Bituminous Condi
tions Differ.
New York, Apr. 6. Pending con
sideration by the anthracite coal op
erators of the offer of the mine work
ers to arbitrate the differences exist
ing between them, the workers will
make no move, and will simply wait
until Monday for the mine owners'
reply. The operators are busily en
gaged on the miners' proposition. The
sentiment of the sub-committee of
operators is against the acceptance
of the miners' offer, at least in its
present shape.
Will Settle by Arbitration.
Columbus, O., Apr. 6. John H.
Winder, president of the Ohio Coal
Operators' Association, telegraphed
President Roosevelt and President
Mitchell today from Charleston, W.
Va., where the operators and miners
are holding a meeting, that the bitu
minous coal operators of Ohio pro
pose to Mitchell to settle the strike
in the bituminous region on the same
terms as Mitchell proposed to the
anthracite operators, namely, by ar
bitration. New York, Apr. 6. When Presi
dent Mitchell was shown the bulletin
from Columbus today announcing
that President Winder had telegraph
ed President Roosevelt and President
Mitchell, proposing that the strike in
the bituminous fields be settled on
the same terms which the miners
proposed to the anthracite operators,
he declined to make any comment.
He regarded the move as "very int
eresting." he said, but in the absence
of official advices could say nothing
about the matter. The sentiment of
the miners' scale committee with re
gard to arbitration is that conditions
in the anthracite and bituminous
fields are widely different.
LATER: President Mitchell to
day telegraphed J. H. Winder in re
ply to the proposed arbitration that
he would lay the proposal before the
international executive board of the
union when it convenes at Indianap
olis, April 17.

AftervHenry Swartz had sung with

feature was introduced in the form
