LONDON, April 26.—It is said in shipping circles in London that Japan has purchased a large number of steamships in England for her largely increased coasting trade with For- mosa, China and Port Arthur. Russian agents in London are mak- | ing determined efforts to procure col- llers for Vice Admiral Rojestvensky fleet, it is reported In the same quar- ters, but the reluctance of owners to | sccept charters, owing to the enor- mous risk, compels the Russian agents to purchase vessels outright.

REBATES ONLY FOR CNCLE SAM " 4 WASHINGTON, April 25.—The At- torney General to-day sustained the Secretary of the Interior in his rebate agreements with railroads, in connec- tion with the transportation of ma- | terial for reclamation purposes. The |law which the Attorney General inter- | prets as governing the case is contained |in section 22 of the Interstate Com- merce Act. Its language is “That noth- ing in this ac’ shall apply to the car- riage, storage or handling of property free, or at reduced rates, for the Unit- ed States.” The Attorney General reaches this conclusion: The intention of section 22 of the act to regulate commerce was to glve express sasic- tion to any arrangement between the United States, State or municipal governments and rafiroad companies by which those Govern- ments might relieve themselves of the cost of transportation in whatever form it might as- sume and the section should be construed to give effect to that intention. In a statement given out in connec- tion with the abstract of the opinion, | the Secretary of the Interior has this to say: 3 | 1t has been noted that in the pest few davs articles have appeared in the public press with reference to certain proposed concessions and agreements on the part of the rallroad com- | panies to transport material for use In the building of dams for the reclamation service under the act of June 15, 1802. This subject , has been before the Interior Department for { consideration and action and the Secretary on : March 20, 1905, relying upon the language of | section 22 of what is known as the interstate commerce act, held that he was authorized to secure agreements from railroad companies for ' I concessions in favor of the Government 1«- the carrying of its own property or material to used by or on behalf of the Government In the construction of reclamation works. The Secretary of the Interfor later deemed it advisable to refer the whole matter to the Al. torney Genera] for an expression of his views. ————— STRONG ANTI-TRUST BILL IS FAVORED IN MICHIGAN Sweeping Measure Passéd Unanimous- Iy by Lower House of the Legislature.

GUNSHU PASS, Manchuria, April 25. An exact statement of the losses in all categories in the battle of Muk- den from February 1 to March 14, com- Statements from Japanese sources indicating wholesale captures of prisoners, enormous booty and cannon are now denied. In reality it appears the Russian taken prisoners, whom the greater part, were wounded. In evacuating Mukden and retreating to the northward the Ruesians lost thirty-two guns, of which three were mortars, three old type field guns with and 87,777 men, of about 55,000, pistol action and twenty-six quick- ' flre zuns. | Of the siege artillery every gun and | all the ammunition carts were sent | north two days before the retreat be- gan, General Karkevitch, the chiet of ; staff, calculates that other losses aside | from wounded were as follows: 15,000 7000 to 8000 known tg have been | captured and 10,000 to 12,000 missing, em- ployes and other non-combatants. { A very large number were slighXIYi wounded and returned to the ranks, many even resorting to deception in order to leave the hospitals. This would indicate that the extent of the Japanese victory and the dis- order of the Russian retreat has been exaggerated, and that the spirit of the Russian army is still strong and the troops not demoralized. — TRAINS RUN TO LIAOYANG. Manchurian Railroad. FUSAN, Korea, April 25.—The first railroad train from Liaoyang since the | retreat of the Russians from that place last year reached Mukden sta-‘ tion late yesterday, crossing the Hun River on the temporary bridge which has just been completed. Regular trains will be run between Port Dalny and Mukden in a few days. Quantities of supplies are being sent to Tie Pass from Newchwang in junks up the Liao River. MULTAN FACES A GRAVE PERIL ADEN, Arabia, April 25.—The situa- tion in Turkish Arabia has become critical. It* transpires that only a thousand of the Turkish troops sent to the relief of Riza Pasha reached Sanaa, and these fled thither after sus- taining a defeat at the hands of the insurgents. Riza Pasha’s troops, 6000 strong, en- countered the Arabs in great force five miles south of Sanaa on March 30 and after a sharp encounter most -of the troops, consisting of Syrian reserves, laid down their arms or deserted, the remnant of the Turks managing to reach Sanaa the same evening with only fifty camel loads of supplies. The chief of staff, Izzat Pasha, was killed and seven guns were abandoned and taken possession of by the Arabs, who also captured 200 camels laden with provisions and large quantities of rifles and ammunition. The investment of Sanaa by the insurgents is being tight- ened. The Syrian reinforcements, which recently arrived at Arabia, are un- satisfactory, and the officials are anxiously awaiting the arrival of European battalions, upon whom the fate of the capital of Yemen province depends. LONDON, April 25.—Officials con- versant with the situation in Yemen province regard the situation there as being in the nature of a life or death struggle for the Sultan of Turkey. They point out that the warlike Arabs of Yemen, who have never done more than impatiently tolerute the Turkish yoke, have grown tired of paying taxes three or four times over and have re- volted. Should the rising in Yemen succeed it is bound to spread north to Hejaz, and if the Sultan’s authority is wiped out in that holy land of Mo- hammedanism he will lose all claims to the title of Protector of the Holy Places, which is regarded as the main factor in holding his qmmn together. [DGE RECEIVES HARSH LETTER Epecial Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, April 25. — Unusual language was used by Governor George E. Chamberlain to-day in a letter ad- dressed to Circuit Judge George H. Burnett. ‘‘Bluntness and brutality of Cuccaneer”; ‘“insulting, arbitrary and tyrnnnlau," are some of the terms uae:u the remarkable sevenspage istle. The Governor a day or two since wrote to Judge Burnett In regard to i granting a commutation of sentence in favor of Otto Miller, serving three months on a serlous charge, to which he pleaded gullty, after having first been charged with a graver offense. | In his answer the Judge refused to recommend _executive clemency. and intimated that the Governor had al- ready made up his mind to pardon the man. remark was brought forth This by the fact that some time since the | fref Governor commuted, the next morning | after conviction, the sentence of a. ll.loon-kueper found guilty in Jud'ol Burnett's court of selling liquor to a minor.

Nothing in the way of a statement was issued after | the sessions to-day, but it was under- | stood that the men in conference had | agreed to combine in the investigation. The Frick committee also held several meetings to-day and a number of wit- nesses were called, but the results | were not made public. Among the interesting stories current in financial circles to-day was one that General Nelson A. Miles would be sug- gested by the New England policy holders for the presidency of the Equit- able, This, however, appeared to be merely a matter of gossip. James J. Hill, who was selected by the directors of the Equitable Life Assurance Society as one of the com- mittee to investigate into its affairs, said to-day that his own affairs took up so much of his time that he had no spare moments to devote to other mat- ters. Hill added: “ I have been a policy holder in the Equitable Life for over thirty yvears, and I say as a policy holder that the time has come when the whole business of life insurance must be more carefully managed.” ALBANY, N. Y., April 25.—Attorney General Mayer to-day sent a letter to Senator Edgar Brackett referring to the petition filed recently by the latter in behalf of Mary 8. Young of Sara- toga, asking the Attorney General's consent to the beginning of an action against certain directors of the Equit- able Life Assurance Society. The At- torney General points out that Brackett’'s client, as a stockholder in the Equitable Lite Assurance Soefety, can without the consent or pa- tion of the Attorney General bring an action in equity to compel the officials of the company to account for any funds unlawful Yy diverted by them. MANY NATIVES SEEKING HONORY "Bpecial’ Dispatch to The Call.

Goll, the Assistant Cashier Who Is Said to Have Been a Party to the Shortage, Not Yet Found MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 25.—Con- i fidence has again been restored imv banking institutions of Milwaukee, and the run on the First National Bank and the Milwaukee Trust Company, which was caused by the $1,450,000 de- fulcation by Frank G. Bigelow, until Monday president of the bank, is a { thing of the past and vanking affairs in Milwaukee have resumed their nor- mal condition. While the two banks affected are entirely separate institu- tions, the fact that they occupy ad- joining buildings and that some of the First National's officers direct the af- fairs of the Milwaukee Trust Company, caused many of the depositors to be- lieve that one was a part of the other. Before the hour for opening the banks had arrived to-day a meeting of the Milwaukee Clearing House As- sociation was held and a committee of that institution. after examining the assets and collateral of the First Na- ticnal Bank, issued a reassuring report as follows: “The Milwaukee Clearing House As- sociation, after examining carefully all the assets and collateral of the First National Bank of Milwaukee, reports as a result from such examination that they are satisfied that the said bank is perfectly solvent and able to pay its debts.” BANKS REQUIRE TIME. This report was printed In large type on placards and pasted on the win- dows of the First National Bank and also displayed in store windows on Wisconsin and East.“Water streets. Following this was a statement issued by the board of directors of the First National Bank, announcing with abso- lute positiveness that the bank was per- fectly solvent. On top of this came word from the board of directors of the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce, an- nouncing its decision not to withdraw its current expense fund from the First National. All of these statements had & reassuring effect on depositors as to the stability of the banks. The banks affected were well able to cope with a long run, but it was de- cided by all of the banks in the city to take advantage of the law on time deposits, requiring a notice of . thirty days of withdrawal on amounts less than $100 and ninety days where the amounts exceed that sum. As rapidly as the depositors appeared at the wickets of the savings departments of the affected institutions their pass books were stamped, acknowledging the notice of withdrawal, and the de- positors took their depanure. It re- quired only about two hours to dis- pose of the line of depositors. Early in tha day crowds of men and women In all walks of life gatheresl in line two and four abreast and took up positions in front of the two big banking institutions, and awaited the |&3d opening of the strong doors at 10 TAFT' ST THE RATES LL FALL Panama Rail Tariffs. to Be Rearranged Regardless of the Kffeet Upon the Transeontinental Railroads NMENT EXPECTS GO\'F 0 REAP NO PROFIT Line Across the Isthmus Will Charge No More Than Is Necessary to Pay Operating Expenses ‘WASHINGTON, April 25.—Secretary Taft has made a decision that is of the greatest importance to raiiroad inter- est, respecting the policy of the Gov- { ernment relative to the existing E monopoly of traffic across the Isthums of Panama and the fixing of rates over | the Panama Railroad, as bearin~ on the existing rates on transcontinental traffic. Secretary Taft makes it plain that i there is to be no discrimination what- ever as between the several steamship companies in handling their business across the isthmus. He does not ex- pect any considerable effect transcontinental fraffic from a re- arrangement of Panama railroad rates, but that readjustment will be had re- gardless of such effect. In a letter an- nouncing his policy, the Secretary says: The policy of the Government in managing the Panama Railroad is to charge such rates as will pay for the carriage of the goods across the isthmus, a reasonable return on the investment of the Government and nothing more. It will permit no discrimination against OF in favor of any of tHe connecting steamship lines. It may be thit thrs policy will affect the transcontinental rates on those classes of freight that can stand the isthmus trip. favor- able for the shipper. However, Mr. Wallace, our chief engineer and a rallway man of expe- rience, thinks that the proposed changes will not have much influence on transcontinental rates, because, he thinks, but a small proper- tion of Whst which goes to make up trans- continental freight can be carried by the isth- mus. The long trip and the fact that the merchandise carried s to be a considerable period in the tropics exclude the possibility of carrying many kinds. FEDERAL STEAMSHIP RATES. The Panama Railroad Company owns three steamiships, which ply between.New York and Colon. We shall make the rate upon these ships as low as possible, consistent with pay- ing a reaonable compensation for the car- riage and investments. We shall run them merely for the purpose of preventing a com- bination to raise the rates from the United | used in the coastruction of the canal. The Government is not rumning and‘ does nat expect to run a line between New York and San.Francisco, or between San Francisco and New York. The policy of the Panama Rallroad Company heretofore, In view of its ownership.of three ships and the docks at Colon and its resulting ability to exclude from the New York and Colon business any other steamship line, has been to monopolize the trade between 'New Y rk and Panama, on the ome side, while its arrangement for oxclusive through billing be- tween New York and San cisco with .the Pacific Mall Steamship Company produced a monopoly for the Pacific Mail on the other, be- tween Panama and San Francisco on the north, and a monopoly for the Chilean and Pacific Steamship companies from Panama to the south. So far as the aotfon of the Pana- ma Rairoad Company can break up the mon- opoly, it is being taken. The Government's acquisition of the rallway line was not primarily for the purpose of af- fecting railway or ocean rates, transconti tal or otherwise. It was for the purpose of acquiring an_instrument with which to eon- struct the canal, an instrument absolutely in- dispensable for the accomplishment of our purpose within a reasonable time. The in- cident that we must hold the rallroad under a franchisq requiring us to do a commereial Pusiness is what imposes upon us the obil- gation to do what we can to make just rates prevent discrimination, and this we shall do. It this ameliorates conditions we shall be very glad. If it does mot, it will not be in o’'clock.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo.,, Aprfl 25.—President Roosevelt's hunting trip has been crowned with success far be- | yond his expectations or those of the | most “sanguine of his guides. Threg bears were killed by the party to-day and two yesterday, one by the Presi= | dent and one by Dr. Lambert. P. B. Sicwart of Colorado Springs{ one of the President’s hunting compane fons, arrived here to-night, accom~ | panied by Courier Chapman. They brought the story of the hunt. News of the killing of the three bears was | telephoned to them and they under- | stood that President Roosevelt brought down two of them, but the details are lacking. The party is almost snowbound in its present - location and no attempt will be made to cross the divide. Fifteen feet of snow is on the ground om the , other side and any effort to reach Red- stone would be futile. The hunters are satisfled, however, for they have reached the center of what the guides | say is the best bear country im Coio- | rado. | Bobcats are thick in the country now being hunted—so plentiful, in fact, that | many are allowed to escape without a | shot being fired in their direction. Sev- eral fine skins have been takenm, how- ever. The bear killed by the President yes- terday was of the brown variety—not so heavy, but with a much finer peit than the first animal killed. Ome of the bears killed to-day is said to have been a grizzly. It was within an area of seven miles that all five of the bears were killed. This spot is about sixteen or eighteen miles from camp and every animal gave the dogs and hunters a long chase. All of them treed, which en- abled the hunters to kill them without further accident to the dogs. News of the outside world is scarce in the President’s camp. Once in four or five days dally papers are seut in, but these are twelve hours or more old when they reach Newcastle. “The absence of information of cur- rent events is greatly feit by all. par- ticularly by the President,” said Ste-* wart to-night. “But then he went into the wilds to hunt and he has to make the best of it. We have been living well. Supplies are holding out well and now bear stéaks will be on the bill of | fare regularly. No icebox is meeded tp there to keep the meat fresh. The camp is situated at an altitude of "about 9000 feet and there is deep snow on every side.” FLIER e MESSAGE TO GERONIMO. President Replies to a Petition From the Apache Chief. LAWTON, O.
