Seeing that fur- ther flight ‘was cut off the desperadoes stopped the horses and made a final stand, lane was thrown to the bottom off the wagon and, crouching over him and shielding themselves to the best possible advantage behind the sides of the vehicle, the convicts opened fire, back to back, on their pursuers.

Then fol- lowed a desperate street battle, The members of the posse jumped behind trees and shot with telling effect, spiinter- ing the wagon and finally putting a bullet ttrough one of the convicts, who fell to the ground.

They | found much ice as they procecded West, but it would be possible for a vessel the size of | the Gjoa to get through. The passage was'| very shellow.

NUE L BECINS T ACT PARIS, Nov. 24.—It is stated in of- ficial quartery here that the exchanges of communications hetween the powers concerning Turkey's answer to their ultimatum have resulted in the prac- tical determination mot to consider the answer as postponing the: maval dem- onstration, which will proceed without further parley. It is understood that the warships of the powers are already | moving from Piraeus. Their objective point is not yet definitely stated, but the island of Mitylene still appears to be the objective applicable to the sit. uation. LONDO: Nov. 24.—The Foreign Of- fice informed the press to-day that the porte, having refused to accede to the demands of the powers, the naval dem- onstration will proceed, the matter now being in the hands of .the naval com- anders. he correspondent of the Daily Chronicle at Vienna says that the Bul- garian Government has notified one of the signatory powers of its determina- tion to march troops into Macedonia if the powers fail to carry out thelr measures for Macedonian refotrms. . CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 24.—The porte’s réply to the demands of the powers is not only a categoricdl re- Jection of the demands. but contains | | thinly-veiled threats that the pressure | of Europe will possibly excits the Turkish population to reprisals:on the’ Christians. The communisatidis states that the Turkish Government finds it absolutely impossible to accept foreign financial control of Macedonia, as it | would violate the Sultan’s soverelgnty. | After agreeing to the protongation lof the mandates of the foreign civil | agents the note concludes: “If the powers increase the pressure in order to compel the. acceptance of the control scheme the imperial Gov- ernment declines all responsibility for the consequences which may. arise from the discontent among the public.” The foreign representatives are con- sidering the question of increasing the guardships here to protect citizens of thelr nationalities. Baron Marshall von Bieberstein, the German Embassador, has again urgent- ly represented to the authorities the advisability of accepting the powers’ demands and to thus prevent disagree- able conseauences.

B — BANK CISHIER S A FUCITHE FREDERICKTON, Mo.,, Nov. 24— Granville Gwyn, cashier of the Bank of Hayti, Mo., has disappeared and it is charged that he has absconded with $18,- 000 of the bank's funds. A reward of 500 has been offered for his apprehension. The capital of the bank was only $20,- 000. Stockholders have asseéssed them- selves $20,000 to repair the bank's losses. An examination of the bank’'s books and accounts showed them to be in excellent shape, but $15,00 in cash is missing. ‘The first intimation that something was wrong was when a letter was received from Gwyn by Clyde Gwyn, a brother, malled from St. Louis, and incloging ‘an assignment of his property at Hayti, worth $000. This property has been turned over to the bank. Another $5000 will be paid by Gwyn's ponding company. The $8000 balance will be lost to the bank. Gwyn was regarded as an exemplary young man. —_—— MORE MONEY SENT 10 RUSSIAN RELIEF FUND Trom This City for Benefit of Oppressed Jews. P. N.

Provision is made so that the laws to expedite cases in the courts. will apply to the new law. No carrier is allowed td grant a special rate or in any manner collect from any person a greater or less compensation. than it receives from any other person. Another section of the} bill is as follows: FORAKER EXPLAINS BILL. “That ‘nothing in the act to regulate commerce, approved February 4, 1837, or In the act to protect trade and commerce against. unlawful restraints and monopo- lies, approved February 4, 1887, or in any act amendatory of eitner of sald acts, shall hereafter apply to the establishment of rates or the changing or publication of the same with respect to foreign com- merce if carrfed in ships of American register: or shail prohibit necessary or reaconable act, association or agreement with respect to interstate transportation that is not ih unreasonable restraint of trade or commerce with foreign nations or among the several States; or shall here- after authorize forfeiture of property as punishiment for any violation of such acts.” Duriag the two hours the committee was in session to-day Senator Foraker explained the regulations of .the bill in detall. He ‘made the following state- ment, which is an épitome of his argu- ment before the (ommittee: The results desired by tne President should be accomplished, but if they can be secured | without conferring the ratemaking power on | the Interstate Commerce Commission or any other Government. agency a number of very troublesome legal questions will be avotded, such as the -constitutiomal prohibition about | glving preforence to the ports of one State over those of anothier;. the right to delegate legislative power, and ‘all questions as to the power of the courts to review the legislative act of making rates excepr in cases that are confiscatory, ete. ‘WILL STOP DISCRIMINATION. The great evil to be reached and dealt with is discriminal. This fakes the form of dis- crimination between loealftiés and individuals. It is practiced under pumerous devices, such as terminal charges, elevator charges, refrig- erator charges, private car line charges, classi- fication, false welghts, refusal to supply cars equally to shippers-and in pumerous other ways. The basis of the, most important feature of the bill I have presented is the third section of the Elkins act. 1 have sought to amend it 80 as to make it applicable net only to every form of dlecrimination that can arise, but also to excessive rates as well as rebates, and 1 have sought to make the law available to the humblest shipper in the land and to make it immediately respected whenever he may #ee the necessity to invoke It. The proposition of the bill is that upon com- platnt and the showing of cause the bill shall be heard on its merits in tne first instance in the court where full relier can be granted. This Is not @ deiay to the shipper, because it will take no longer, stating it conservatively; 10 try, the case before the court in_the first instante than it would to uy it before the In- terstats Commerce Commission, amd the prob- abilitics are “that any Judge of the Circuit Court of the United States accustomed to hear- ing witnesses, apslying tne iaw and disposing of legal questions, sitting In equity, would try the case in much less time than the Interstate Commerce Commission or any other assoclate body would require. The propriety of going In the first instance to the court where a remedy can be adminis- tered 1s manifest when it is remembered that every case must,if the parties to it are o disposed, .go to the court anyhow before it is ended, for it fs the constitutional right of every one to have his day in court and that right cannot be taken away by Congress even if there were a disposition to do so. PROHIBITS GIVING OF PASSES. Another feature of the bill provides for the appointment of expert exauminers, who, under the direction of the Intersiate Commerce Com- miesion_ can make an examination at any time of all books, documents and papers of any raliroad that relate to Intersiate transporta- tion of commerce. This Wwill enable the com- mission to ascertain the facts and secure evi- dence, Another provision of the bill is de- signed to prohibit the giving of passes. This provision needs no comment. i Another provision probibits the carrying of freight that is to be exported or freight that has been Imported dn through rates less as to roil portion charge than Is exacted for the | Carrying of similat domestic shipments between the same points, unless the carrtage be In ships of American registry. The amount of frelght catried on these lower through rates is constantly increasing and there is a cof stantly growing complaint from manufagturers on this aceount. This. provision will not be in conflict with any of our reciprocal treaties and it is not without precedent, for practically the eame kind of measures have been resorted to by both Ryssia and Germany and probably { also-by other countries. At the conclusion of Senator Foraker’'s remarks the commitfee adjourned until to-mOTTOW.
