The discussion was in connection with Clay’s speech, Aldrich, Foraker, Balley and Newlands being the principal participants in addition to Clay himself. Clay advocated the passage of the bill, Interstate Com- merce Commission power to regulate rates when complained of, and sald that If theére were no legislation along that line the country might count upon agitation of the question of Government ownership. Clay contended that the railroad com- panies should not be interfered with in the first instance in preparing their schedules, but $aid that when these were once promulgated there should be a body with authority to modify and revise upon complaint. He took issue with statements made earlier in the session by Foraker in opposition to the constitutional right of Congress to delegate its authority to reg- ulate interstate commerce, saying that on account of the vast number of complaints { liable to arise it would be impossible for Congress, with its other pressing business, | to give anything like adequate attention to them. Clay declared himself a friend of the rafiroads, but sald that because of their | public character it was proper that “they shouid be compeiled to furnish to the | public transportation of persons and | property that is both reasonable and Just, and power ought to be lodged in an im- | partial, intelligent and broad-minded | tribunal to pass upon the differences be- tween the railroads and the shippers and render substantial justice fo both. If Congress cannot exercise - this power tbhrough a commiselon, then I am at a loss to know how the people can expéct proper refief.” He declared that the laws granting au thority to State commissions té6 revise rates so as to insure justice had been Ir&quenll)' upheld by the courts, ————— ’l”“‘() MORE MEN CRUSHED TO DEATH BY SNOWSLIDES Conl Miner Killed in Utah d a Sur- veyor Buried by Avalamche in Idaho.

The presiding officer, the Duke of Almodovar, read messages from the Spanish Senate and Chamber | of Deputies expressing hope for a suc- cessful issue of the conference. The head of the Italian mission, replying in the name of the delegates, made a significant reference to the. interna- tional character of the agreement to | be concluded here. This was inter- preted as referring to the Franco- | German difficulty over the guestion of | the international control of Morocco. | The conference adopted five of | sixteen articles contained in the report | of the committee on contraband arms. Discussion of the remaining articles | went over until Wednesday, to-morrow | being reserved for the ceremonies at- | tending the feast day of King Alfonso. The discussion brought out a lengthy discourse from Sidi-Mohammed EIl | Mokhri, the second of the Moroccan | delegates, concerning Morocco's general | attitude toward the conference. AS | he spoke in Arabic, the delegates lis- | tened silently, not comprehending a ‘word. Later they decided to have a ! translation distributed to the members of the conference. * Reval, head of the French mission answering the Moors’ request for time to refer certain features of their re- port to the Sultan, remarked that the | Moors appeared desirous to refer some | portions of it and not to refer others. | Thereupon Bidi Mohammed declared that | they were obliged to refer everything | without exception to the Sultan. This {*brought on .a discussion among the del- | egates, showing that they are all simi- |larly obliged to refer important points to their respective Governments. | The draft of the report under dis- | cussion, besides providing repressive | laws by the powers, charges the Mo- rocean customs authorities with the repression of- contraband along the coast. Before seizing a foreign ship they | country to which the ship belongs, and, | pending action on the part of the le- | gation Tangier, the Moroccan an- thorities shall install a guardian on | board the ship. Upon the legation’s ap- proval of the seizure the contraband cargo will be condemned, the pro- ceeds going to the Moroccan treasury. | while the fines will be distributed be- tween the informers and the Morgecan | treasury. The draft gives France exclusive | control over contraband on the Al- gerian frontier and gives Spain exclu- sive control along the frontlers of | Spain’s possessions th® Mgrdcco. The general principle of the plan is | to leave the coast surveillafice with | the Moroécan customs, but, as the ques- tioh of France's administering the | customs wiil come up later, the Franco- wzerman contention remains open.

Charge d'Affaires Taigny on board the French steamship Martinique off La Guayra on January 14. The Belgian official pointed out that the diplomatic corps considered Taigny to be a member of the corps until removed by his Government and asked the Foreign Minister for an ex- planation of the position of Venezuela to the m: mbers of the corps. Senor Ybarra evaded the request of | the Belgian representative and treated the Taigny incident lightly, remarking that Talgny had “allowed himself to be caught like a rat in a trap.” There is a great lack of news at Car~ acas. The people of Venezuela are en- tirely ignorant of the situatfon. PLACED ABOARD SHIP WHILE IN A TRANCE an_Franciscan Awakes to ] Find Himself on an | Italian Bark. Special Dispatch to The Call. ST. LOUTIS, Jan. 22—James Steele, a sailor of San Franelsco, is at the Madison Hotel, en route from New York to his home. He tells a tale of a tour which | took him nearly around Cape Horn, all as a result of a prank played on him by friends. Steele went to New York for pleasure and when his money gave out he applied to friends. Just who these friends are he will not say. They had a jolly good | time together and when he awoke from | his dream he found himself aboard an Italian bark, unable to understand a word of the crew’'s lingo and far out -at sea. To make matters worse his friends had him signed as second mate and when he attempted to issue his first order not a man moved to chey and a fight resuited. Steele was reduced to the ranks and was directed in his work by signs. He de- clares that some of the crew understood | Bnglish “cussing” and that he put in his spare time ‘“cussing” them. The ship was bound for Rio and at Rio Steele did not wait to collect his wages, but took French leave. He says: “I just ‘ducked’ on the quiet and got aboard the first Yankee ship bound for New York.” CHICAGO FINANCIERS - SQUEEZED ON 'CHANGE Lichstern and Armour Lose $3,000,000 on Reading Shares. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—According to gos- sip which came direct from Wall street, Adolph Lichstern and J. Ogden Armour were caught “short” 60,000 shares of Reading stock and gqueezed by the Wall street bull power to the extent of more than $3,000,000. It is said Armour and Lichstern began going “short” of Read- ing immediately prior to the time the shares crossed par. To-day the price jumped to 163, which was followed by a break to 181%, where the closing sales ‘were made. The squeezing of the two Chicago op- erators is said to have culminated this evening and the rapid rise in shares was said to have caused the failure of a number of Wall strest operators, which broke prices sharply along the line at the close of the day. —_—————— No More Deaths From Panie.

MELLION BEGS RETURN OF HER MONEY Continued h-ol- Page 1, Column 4. of the Columbia Oil Company. All these representations, she swears, were false. Mrs. Kutscher bought 150 shares, for which she paid $300. Mrs. Smith says that the stock is good and that the sale was legitimate. Although Mrs. Smith spent last night in jail because of her inability to get ball, she lost none of her jauntiness of air. She says that she will be out to-day and ready to fight for her rights. “It is all the fault of dealing with women that 1 have made trouble for miyself,” she said. “I will never make an other transac- tlon with a woman as long as I live. They get frightened and imagine that they are going to lose all that they have. Had I not been arrested I would have had enough money by this time to pay Mrs. Mellion what I owe her. My note to her is not due until next June, anyway, and I only turned over my property to ‘her to show my good faith. I will win and con- tinue to do business and make money in Ban Francisco, just as I always have. They cannot beat me down when I know that I am honest.” WAR LORD GETS A CREAT SCARE Berlin Turned Into Armed Camp in Expectation of a Socialistic Outbreak e L Special Dispatch to The Call. BERLIN, Jan. 22.—Thousands of Berlin citizens are indulging in quiet laughter to- day over yesterday’'s extemsive military preparations for the suppression of a Socialistic outbreak. If the French army had been at its gates the city could not bave presented a more martial appear- ance. The courtyard of the palace, where the Kalser was sowing his annual crop of red eagles, was filled with cannon. Regi- ments of cavalry clanked up and down Unter der Linden. Batteries of heavy artillery lumbered through the streets. Infantry regiments were stationed at all public buildings in the region of the cas- tle. Evety policeman in Berlin was on duty. The net result of the day's hap- penings was that it proved to be one of the most placid Sundays that law-abiding Berlin ever enjoyed. The Vorwaerts, the Soclalists’ organ, is not published on Mondays, but to-mor- row's ‘issue s certain to deal satirically with the overwrought nerves of the Kaiser's military and police advisers, who were ready for a Berlin edition of the battle of Mukden. Liberals of all classes say that yesterday’s brandishing of the mailed fist is a confession of a guilty conscience on the part of the Prussian Government, which could be an indiffer- ent observer of demonstrations against the three-class election system if it were not what Prince Bismarck admitted it to be, the “Fottenest in the world.” FOUR-HOUR BATTLE FOUGHT IN ECUADOR Three Hundred Killed and One Hundred Wounded in Combat. GUAYAQUIL, Jan. 22.—It now devel- eps that during the attack made on the barracks by rfoters on Friday night only sixty-nine pérsons were killed and eighty-four wounded.

Former President Garcia’'s troops, under General Franco and Colonel An- drade, are on their way to Quito, where they. will surrender their arms. The people generally have already recog- nized General Alfaro's Government. —_—————— NEGRO LYNCHED ON PUBLIC SCALES OF KENTUCKY CITY Put to Deanth in Early Morning by Mob of Three Hundred Men.

Quality, 4 CZARS CAPITAL HAS QUIET DAY Anniversary of “Red Sunday” Passes Without Untoward Incidents in St. Petersburg TROOPS AWE POPULACE Large Proportion of Work- men Disregard the Appeal for a General Strike ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 2.—The an- niversary of “Red Sunday” has passed in the tamest fashion. There were no de- velopments or disorders. Early dis- patches from the interior report that no serious trouble occurred anywhere. The day here was absolutely uneventful, except for the stoppage of work at some of the factories: but the attempt to make the strike general was a fallure. A large proportion of the workmen dis- regarded the appeal. The electric light plants and streetcar services are both working and the stores are open every- where. The change om:- normal life is scarce- ly noticeable,/ except in the industrial quarters of the city. Throughout the day all was quiet, the most turbulent be- ing overawed by the imposing military preparations. Guards were especially thick in the Vassalle Ostrovo district, which, because of its large industrial population, Is infested with disorderly persons. Joint patrols of cavalry and infantry swept up and down the streets at intervals and pickets were stationed at every corner. The many workmen on the streets drifted together and then separated as the patrols came and went, evidernitly being in fear of the Cossack whips. Near the Narva gate the Putiloff thor- oughfare was patrolled by policemen in squads -of five, carrying pistols in addi- tion-to their usual swords. At the Puti- loff works, where all except 4000 of the men have been paid off on account of lack of contracts, crowds of unemployed workmen gathered in front of the gates, hoping to secure work.
