CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY ASKED Organized Labor Would Probe Arrest of Moyer and Others. ‘Washlngton, March 4.—Organized labor has asked congress, through a resolution introduced by Senator Cul- berson, to institute an investigation into all of the facts and eircum- stances attending the affair in Colo- rado of Charles H. Moyer, Willlam D. Haywood and George F. Pettibone, offi- cers of the Western Federation of Miners, and their deportation to Idaho to stand trial on charges of complicity in the murder of ex-Governor Steunen- berg. Stevenson’s Grave. No English novellst rests in a more eccentric spot than that chosen by Robert Louls Stevenson, who Is buried on the summit of the forest clad Valla, in the Island of Samoa. The day after bis death at Vailima, in 1804, his re- malns were carried to the top of this precipitous and picturesque peak by sixty sturdy Samoans, who had loved and now mourned thelr dead chief, Tusitula. A party of forty had pre- viously cut a pathway through the thick, tangled wood with knives and axes, while another party had pre- pared the grave. With Infinite care and trouble they bore him shoulder high over the rough ground to his last Jong home, and there, under the starry Bky, they left him to sleep forever, with the Paclfic at his feet. On elther side of his tombstone is a bronze plate. One bears the words, “The Tomb of Tusitula,” while the other Is inscribed ‘with his own requiem, beginning: Under the wide and starry sky Tig the grave and let me lla, A Temple Made From a Single Stone. Mayallipmam, India, has seven of the most remarkable temples in the world, each of these unique places of worship baving been fashioned from solid gran- te bowlders. Some Idea of thelr size and the task of chiseling out the inte- ror may be gleaned Zrom the fact that the smallest of the seven Is twenty- four feet high, seventeen feet long and twelve feet wide. Travelers who have carefully examined them are of the opinion that It took centuries of work to carve these graceful edifices from native rock. Welghing Common Anr, The weight of alr has often been tested Ly compressing it In receptacles by the alr pump. That It really has welght when so compressed s shown by the fact that the welght of the ves- sels is Increased slightly by filling them with compressed alr and that such vessels become specifically “light- e’ as soon as the air contained In them is exhausted. Many elaborate experiments on the welght of air have proved that the cublc foot welghs 536 grains, or something léss than one and' & quarter ounces.

He expressed dissatisfaction with the course of the canal manage- ment and said that his suspicion led him to belleve that the intention had been to compel -Mr. Oliver “to let ia some of his.competitors whe were too greedy on the first bid.” Senators Hopkias and Lodge made ebjection to the present consideration ef the Tillman resolution and under the rules of the senate it went over until another day. the dlscussion Senator Carmack said that Mr. Oliver had spent from $36,000 to $40,000 of his own money in com- plylng with the requirements of the administration. In a speech supporting the reselu- tloa Mr. Tillman sald the whole coun- try wanted the canal constructed with as little scandal as possible. “There have beemn some remarkable ocenrrences in oennsctlon with this work,” he continued. Reference was ‘Wallace, who, he said, was berated and abused by the secretary ef war. Then eame Mr. Stevems' resignation. Now eemes the matter of Mr. Oliver's bid for work.

BRITICISES COMMERCE COMMISSION BHOULD CO-OPERATE WITH AND NOT ANTAGONIZE BUSL NESS INTERESTS. Washington, March 4—E. H. Harrl- man, who is in Washington for a few deys accompanied by his family, in discussing the recent investigation by the interstate commerce commission in New York, said: “There was not a single new point brought out In the Inquiry. It was simply a rehash of matter that was given wide publicity seven years ago. This continual reform agitation simply shows the great animosity that exists today against men and corporations that have made a success. The inter- state commerce commission could pro- duce far better results if the members ‘would try to co-operate with the busi- ness Interests of the country Instead of antagonizing them. In view of the unfair methods of the administration, as carried out by the interstate com- merce commission, there is no incen- Alve for a man to be successful, but 1 am sure that in the end the American spirtt of old of ‘fair play’ will prevail. That is more to the purpose than a ‘aquare deal’” We may have a ‘square deal,’ but unfair rlay. There seems suecessful. “All the so-called charges made ai | the recent hearing in New York are fully covered in the application in October, 1900, for listing the Chicago amd Alton railway securities on the New York Stock Exchange and every point brought out by the interstate eemmissioners the other day were glven publicity at that time.” President Harriman also pointed out that the Chicago and Alton listing elroular issued in 1900 referred to the payment of the 30 per cent dividend upon the preferred and eommon stock. “When this point was brought ou the New York hearing,” he said, * Interstate commerce comm thought (lhey were developing some mew and startling facts when, as a matter of fact, the whole thing is an- oleat histor: BI@ INCREASE IN EARNINGS.

Chicago, March 4.—The compila- tlon of the railway statistics covering the reports of 313 of the raflroads of the United States has been completed for the General Managers' association by Blason Thompeon. The report covers the operation and earning power of 94 per cent of the total raflroad mileage of the United Btates, which is about 216,960 miles of single track. A comparison with the report of 1905 shows an Increase of approximately 10,000 miles of track. The gross earnings of the 313 roads in 1908 was $3.246,421,106, which is $163,938,760 greater than all the roads together in 1905. The operating expenses for the 313 roads were $1,482,145,334, or $90,933,- 864 greater than all the roads together for the year 1905. CANCELS BIG CONTRACT.

Harrlman was to erect in Omaha at a cost of $1,200,000. He did so, he #aid, under orders from Harriman be- cause of the recent action of courts and legislatures. In taking this action Mr. Mohler referred to the recent de- cision of the United States supreme court, which upheld a decision of the Nebraska courts that the Union Pa. cific and Burlington should pay $1,000 000 of taxes they protest to the state of Nebraska and also the action of the Nebraska legislature in just pass- ing the 2-cent fare bill.

PENSION AGENCY QUESTION. Senate Ineists on Retaining Those Now in Existence. ‘Washington, March 4—By a roll call vote of 62 to 1 the senate in- structed its conferees on the pension appropriation bill to insist on retain- ing the eighteen pension agencies lo- cated throughout the country. The house abolished seventeen of these gencies, retaining only the one at Washington. This action was charac- terized in the senate as “without rhyme or reason,” revolutionary and a ‘Washington.” Senators McCumber; Cullom, Heyburn, Hopkins, Curtis, Long, Scott, Beveridge, Hansbrough, Allison, Frye, Carmack, Gallinger and Lodge each spoke in support of re- taining all the agencies. The reason of the hgise was said to be one of economy, but the senators contended that the change proposed would result in a decidedly more expensive system. Mr. Scott said he #2d been informed by the commissioner of pensicns that there had heen 100,000 applications for pensions under the service pension law enacted at this session of congress and concluded that these applications would so increase the work of the pension agents as to render it difficult to perform all of it in one office. “I am opposed to this everlasting concentration in Washington of every- thing,” asserted Mr. Foraker.

Leaders of the Christian Scientists apparently were surprised at the bill, which was filed by George W. Glover of Lead, 8. D., only son of Mrs. Eddy by her first husband; Miss Mary Baker Glover, Mr. Glover's daughter, and George W. Baker of Bangor, Me., Mrs. Eddy's nephew.
