D, Leading Spe::ialist Fifteen Years at RENEWS FIGHT OVER ASPHALT Warner-Quinlan Syndi- cate Enters a New Protest. Government Asked to Inquire Into Minister Bowen’s Acts. WASHINGTON, April 19.—The Warner- Quinlan Asphalt Syndicate has lodged with the President a protest against what they regard as the.unwarrantable inter- ference of the United States Government in the legal proceedings now in progress in Venezuela between the two asphalt companies, which interference is atieged to be in the interest of the Bermudese Company. As the facts are known to the State De- partment, the Warner-Quinlan Syndicate obtained a victory in one of the lower Venezuelan courts over their opponent -in the contest for the possession of LarFe- licidad Asphalt Lake. The Bermudese Company, being in possession, appealed to the Venezuclan Supreme Court, before which tribunal the case is now pending. Meanwhile the Warner-Quinlan people secured an order from the lower court to give them pose: n of the lake. At this stage United States Minister Bowen lodged a vigorous protest with the Vene- | Kearney massacre; establishing an addi- ticnal land office in Montana; regulating | the introduction of eggs and game birds | for propagation. Lacey stated that the | " purpose of the last biill was to authorize | ProfeSS‘on the Secretary of Agriculture to fix regu- | . | lations by which there would be no prop-| agation of undesirable birds, such as Eng- | hish sparrows, but that the propagation | would be confined to desirable game birds. | For a Park in Oregon.

It is against this action that the War- ner-Quinlan Syndicate protests. Bowen has been supplied by the State Depart- ment with a copy of the. protest and has been requested du) make a statement as one.

He said the | beet sugar men had overreached them- selves. In order to accomplish the humil- iation of certain members of the House | | they had not only struck off the differen-| tial on sugar, but also the countervailing duty on bounty-produced sugar. Refer- ring to what might occur in the Senatc, he said the action of the House by the vote of the Democrats and the controlling factor in the House (the beet sugar Re- ublicans) had made it impossible for the enate to remove the differential amend- ment. Any Senator who voted to strike out the Morris amendment would be ac- cused of favoring the sugar trust. Believe Bill Is Killed. Replying to General Grosvenor, Weeks of Michigan, one of titose prominent in opposition to the Ways and Means Com- | mittee, commented satirically upon Gros- venor's recent references to the young and inexperienced members. Telegrams of | congratulation had been pouring in to- day, Weeks sald, from the Governor of Michigan and from those high in the councils‘of the Republican party on the’| success of the movement against the reciprocity bill. With this home support behind them, he and his associates did not propose to have the “riot act” read to them by the gentleman from Ohio or any other leader. ¢ “Our motive was to kill that bill—that is the plain English of 1it,” exclaimed Weeks, “and we belleve that it is killed. and that if it ever comes back from the Senate its friends will not be able to rec- ognize it.” Cannon stated that if the Senate dealt with the bill as Weeks suggested the House would in due time and in its own way deal with the amended bill. Can- non’s remarks put the House in good humor and brought the discussion back to the fortification bill. ~ An amendment by Cushman of Wash- ington was agreed to for the purchase of the exclusive rights to the high explo- sive thorite and making available ,000 of a former appropriation for this pur- pose. The bill brought out much diseus- sion, in the course of which Taylor of Ohio paid 2 high tribute to General Cro- zier, chief of the Bureau of Ordnance. The bill then was passed. ‘The conference on the legislative appro- ation bill was agreed to. At 3:40 the louse adjourned. Futurity Stake a Rich Event.

Cuban Reciprocity Measure Goes Again to a Com- mittee. ‘WASHINGTON, April 19.—At the con- clusion of routine business in the Senate to-day a joint resolution postponing the payment of taxes on real estate in the District of Columbia for the fiscal year 1203 from November, 1902, to May, 1903, was adopted. The Senate agreed to a conference agked for by the House on the Chinese exclusion bill. The chair (Frye) said he felt bound to appoint conferees Wwho would represent the majority sentiment of the Senate. He named Platt of Con- necticut, Dillingham of Vermont and Clay of Georgia. Among other measures passed were the following: Granting!permission for the erection of a monument or statue in Washington, D, C., to the memory and in honor of the late Benjamin F. Stephen- son, founder of the Grand Army of the Republic; to confer jurisdiction upon the Court of Claims to render judgment for the principal and Interest in actions to recover dutles collected by the militgry authorities of the United States upon articles imported into Porto Rico from the several States between April 11, 1895, and May 1, 1900; to place Lieutenant Col- onel and Brevet Major General Alexander Stuart Webb on the retired list of the army; to construe the dependent pension act of 18% so as to include all persons who served ninety days during the Civil ‘War and who were honorably discharged, but excluding those of the First, SBecond, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth United States Volunteer Infantry, who had prior service in the Confederate army or navy; to provide an American register for Lhe bark Homeward Bound; for the tempo- rary detention of persons dangerously i sane in the District of Columbia. The bill passed yesterday by the House providing for reciprocal relations with Cuba was received by the Senate and re- ferred to the Committee on Relations with Cuba. Frye gave notice that on Monday next, after routine business, he would call up :}Ie river and harbor bill for considera- on. At 2 o’clock the unfinished business, the Philippine Government bill, was called up, but laid aside at the suggestion of Lodge, in charge of the measure. The Senate continued the consideration of unobjected bills, the following being assed: Authorizing the Secretary of War to loan 1000 wall tents for use at the Knights of Pythias encampment, to be held at San Francisco; to increase the pensions of soldiers and sailors who have lost limbs in the service and fifty-eight private pension bills, Including one in- creasing the pension of the widow of Gen- eral Ludley to $0 a month. Gamble of South Dakota then called up the resolution expressive of the sorrow of the Senate at the death of the late Sen- ator James Henderson Kyle of South Dakota, and he and Cockrell, Cullom, Morgan, Foraker, Nelson and Kittredgd paid glowing tributes to his memory. After the adoption of the resolution the Senate, at 4:25 p. m., ds an additional mark of respect, adjourned. L e e e e e e e o TAKES GONTROL OF THE INQUIRY The President Assumes Charge of All Philip- pine Affairs, Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTON, April 19.—President Roosevelt has assumed charge of Philip- pine affairs so far as they concern the ‘War Department, and during the absence of Secretary Root in Cuba will person- ally direct investigations. He will not leave the settlement of questions arising almost daily to either the Assistant Sec- retary of War or General Corbin, and ‘has ordered that every message receilved be communicated to him. General Chaffee is expected to respond to the message of the Secretary sent ‘early this week demanding inquiry into allegations of torture and directing the court-martial of several officers sald to have been implicated in “water cure” and other forms of cruelty to Filipinos. it is supposed Chaffee is investigating the charges against General Jacob H. Smith, whom the President has ordered, with other officers, to be court-martialed without further instructions from Wash- ington if Chaffee should find cause for such action. The Philippine situation and the recent exposures before the Senate committee have caused the President to assume control of the department. He knows that non-commissioned officers would not administer severe forms of punishment except on orders, and no lleutenant or captain would be likely to give such or- ders except on authority. Hence the re- sponsibility must be fixed upon the officer who issued the order. VANCOUVER, B. C., April 19.—A special from Ottawa says: Hon.

American, Federation Issues Address on Injunction Question. ‘WASHINGTON, April 19.—The execu- tive council of the American Fedcration of Labor to-day adopted resolutions thanking Senators and Representatives who have stood by the labor interests in Chinese exclusion legislation, and urging that either ‘“effective exclusion laws be enacted or that the full responsibiiity for ineffective legislation on this subject may rest upon those who, while claiming in the Senate substitute to give the country an exclusion law, are providing an act which will be sure to involve the Gov- ernment in endless litigation and fall to exclude Chinese laborers.” The executive council adjourned sine die this afternoon after adopting an address to the wage workers of America, signed by all the members of the council, which says: There are few contests in which the toilers are engaged for improvement or for the pre- vention of _deterioration in their —condition, unless injunctions are issued by the courts of the most far-reaching character, invading the legal and moral rights of the workers to per- form perfectly legal and legitimate acts to carry on gheir effort to a successful termina- tion. Injunctions of a flagrant, unjustifiable and’ outrageous character are continuously fs- sued, and honest,law-abiding and faithful citi- zen workmen are thrust into prison for perieds of from one to nine months. Thus far we have been unable to persuade the Congress of the United States to enact laws that shall protect the rights and liberty of people engaged in industrial disputes, and | many of the courts have interpreted this fall- ure on the part of Congress as a warrant and authority to extend the use, or more properly speaking, the abuse ofthe writ of injunction s0 that the scope of éach writ still further invades gur constitutionally guaranteed rights. This impending and growing danger, there- fore, impels us to appeal to the workers and to all people of our country, so that the true feeling of all may be expressed and registered, 50 tnat the public opinion of the people of our own common country may more definitely im- press itselt upon the minds of our national Congress and State Legislatures. With this object in view, we recommend to all organized workers, in natlonal, State, cen- tral or local unions, that at their public cele- brations on May 1, July 4 and September 1 (Lebor day), 1902, ‘they concentrate thelr at- tention to a declsion of the abolition of injunc- tions in labor disputes and the passage of reso- lutions demanding at the hands of Congress and the Legislatures of their respective States the enactment of laws conforming to that purpose. 1t Is urged, too, that at the conven- tions of the national unions, the State Federa- tlons, as well as at stated meetings of the central labor unions and local trade and fed- eral labor unfons, this subject matter be fully discussed, emphatic action taken thereon and the resuit of that action promptly communi- cated to the United States Senators and mem- bers of Congress from your respective Stafes and to the members ot the Legislatures of your Tespective districts. The American workmen are law-abiding, faithful and loyal citizens: they have no de- sire for immunity from the law governing other citizens, but they most emphatically resent and protest against the action of courts con- victing them and sentencing_them to prison tor acts which they have the legal right to per- form; and condemned, too, without proper op- portunity and defense and trial by a jury of their peers. POLICE ARE CENSURED FOR THE ASSASSINATION Murder of Russia’s Interior Minister Rendered Easy Because of Offi- cial Negligence. ST. PETERSBURG, April 19—The as- sassination of M. Sipiaguine, the Minister of the Interlor, who was shot at the min- istry April 16 by a student named Balsa- honstt, is still the absorbing topic of con- versation, but one sees no mention of the case in print. The papers have been for- bidden to mention the event. The mur- derer is still alive in jail, where he de- fiantly refuses to answer questions. The case is causing the police untold anxiety, especially since it has developed that the assassin was held nine days without be- ing registered, in spite of the supposed omnipresence of the secret service officers. The gravity of the situation is {llustratad by the fact that a high official visited the police authorities and catechised them as to whether they are now harboring any unregistered persons. The reports of unrest fn the country south of Moscow increase. That locality is «described as being in a state of tur- moil, The detalls of the burning of the Duke of Mecklenburg’s chateau in South- east Russia show that a small army of peasants was involved in the uprising. ‘They destroyed everything on the estate which was not worth stealing. That there is widespread apprehension in official circles is evidenced by the fact that even officials of the Ministry of .the Interior are found who credit the ob- viously impossible story that a- sort of Coxey army of 10,000 peasants is marching from Poltava, seventy miles from Khark- off, to St. Petersbu L <A HOHENZOLLERN OFFICERS LOSE PRECIOUS BEER Customs Officials at Kiel Seize Kegs That Were Hidden on Royal Yacht. BERLIN, April 19.—The Imperial Chan- cellor Count von Bulow, in thanking the correspondent of the New York Staats Zeitung for a list of the newspapers rep- resented at the banquet given in New York by_the Staats Zeitung to the press of the United States in honor of Prince Henry, alluded to the great development of the press in the United States and to its extensive participation in the arrange- ments made to honor the Prince. The great ‘‘beer treats” of the New York brewers to the crew of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern had unpleasant con- sequences for several of the deck officers. They saved seven Kegs of beer intending to present them to their frinds at home, but the custom-house officers at Kiel seized the kegs at the freight depot and compelled the officers to pay 20 marks ($67 50) in duties and penalties., The cus- toms officers sold the beer at auction. e Advent of a Baby Whale. CAYUCOS, April 19.—Several .persons who were fishing on the wharf here this morning report naving seen a sight which seldom falls under human vision, being nothing less than the birth of a baby whale. The ocean being quite rough out- side, a large whale appeared close in shore and while the crowd was watching it, the baby whale made its advent into the world. Mother and infant disported themselves about the wharf for a short time and then disappeared together, going in the direction of deeper water. Victim an American Student. LAUSANNE, Switzerland, April 19.—The American youth, who, with the son of a Lausanne publisher named Imer, was killed some days.ago by falling to the bottom of a gorge in the Encel Pass near Evionnaz, was Talcott Williams Cham- bers, 16 years old, the only son of a mis- sionary, the Rev. Mr. Chambers, sta- tioned at Adana, Anatolia, (Asia Minor), Both of the victims were pupils at the normal school of Pesseuf, Canton of Neuchatel. SATElE ‘Wants No Verdict After Dark. LAKE CHARTRES, La., April 19.—The Jury in the case of Ed Batson, on trial for the murder of six members of the Earl family, had not agreed, after being out three hours, and court adjourned until Monday morning, the Judge having de- cided not to receive a verdict after dark.

CANTON, April 19.—The rebels are be- sleging Nanning, an important city in the province of Kwangsl, and it is reported that the place had already fallen. The telegraph wires beyond Wuchow, between Canton and Nanning, have been cut. PEKING, April 19.— opulace is be- coming increasingly excited over rumors that trouble Is imminent between the im- perial and the foreign troops, but the de- | meanor of the Chinese continues friendly toward forelgners, the best informed of whom discredit the rumors of the ex- istence of an anti-foreign feeling. The commanders of the guards at the foreign legations met to-day and arranged plans for defense should trouble arise. The intention of the Empress Dowager to review the imperial troops on the re- turn of the court from the Sourne{eto the eastern tombs of the dynasty has been abandoned, presumably because the Chi- nese_officials considered that the holding of the review might be construed as a demonstration against the foreign troops. ANARCHISTS MAY GAIN SEAT AMONG DEPUTIES Notorious Italian a Candidate for a Position in the National Parliament. MILAN, April 19.—For the first time in the parliamentary history of Italy an avowed anarchist, Pietro Calcagno, is a candidate for a seat in the Chamber of Deputies, with some chance of election. Calcagno, who was only recently re- leased from prison on the ground of fli- health, is living on a small island in the Mediterranean which he is unable to leava without the permission of the Italian Gov- ernment. He was imprisoned several times in_consequence of his anarchistic prin- ciples, and has fled to England and Amer- ica more than once to escape the police. Calcagno says that if he is elected he will not take his seat, as he does not be- Heve in the Italian Parllament. Plumber’s Trust Collapses. VANCOUVER, B.
