The majority reported In favor of the contestant and the minority in fa vor of the sitting member. The Democrat were disponed to Insist upon several days for general debute on the legislative bill on the ground that not sufficient time was to be allowed to de bate the l'orto Itienn tariff bill. All ef fort to reach an agreement fnilcd, and the house went into committee of the whole with no arrangement about gen eral debate. Mr. Hemenwny made n general expla nation of the bill. Mr. I'nyne (N.

In the Bonnte today the routine busi ness was brief". Immediately after it was concluded the financial bill was pre sented by the chair. It was agreed that the pending measure and amendment thereto should be considered under the ten minute rule. Mr. Teller was recognized to reply to the speech of Mr. Allison delivered yes terday. He had waited in vain, he said, for an explanation of the house bill wnien lecnnicnii.v was me meumire miner consideration. lie nppronched all ques- tions relating to the finance of the coun try with suspicion. He thought the house bill ought to be considered carefully, us it might possibly become the law. It had been drafted by a commission composed of acute lawyers, and there were force and Mtrength behind it. Mr. Teller took strong issue with Mr. Allison that the United States was now on the gold standard. "We are not on the gold stnndnrd except by the unau thorized action of tho treasury. We are I on what i sometime called a limping silver standard and sometimes a gold standard. "Nobody outside of the United States has considered the United States on the gold standard, but it may be said that we practically have been forced by executive usurpation and transgression of the law to proceed as if we were on a gold stand ard." ' Mr. Teller denied that the United States was, under the law, on the gold standard, us bad been argued, but that this pending bill was to be enacted Into law because the gold standard advo cntes were afraid that the American peo ple would put some man in tho White House who would not favor the gold standard. This fear constituted the rea son for the pending bill, the purpose be ing to embody the gold standard in the stututes, so that it could not be disturbed without great difficulty. The ways and means committee of the house today agreed to report a bill of much moment to the brewing interest, abolishing what are known to the trade as sixth and eighth barrels, making quar ter barrels the smallest packages of this character authorized by law. The small sizes have been easily lost, and, as the commissioner of internal revenue report ed that no diminution of revenue would result from the change, the committee decided to yield to the request of the trade in this particular. Mr. Dolliver was authorized to report a substitute, which differs from the original only in phraseology. The river and harbor committee today gave a bearing on the proposition to con struct a dam for the purpose of raising the level of the great lakes. George Y. Wisner, a member of the deep wuterwoy commission, who reported in favor of the project, explained it in detail and urged its feasibility. Major Symonds of the engineer corps, in charge of operations where the proposed dam would be locat ed, said the project was ho vast that a commission of eminent experts should be appointed to make special investigations of the plan. Representative Corliss of Michigan also spoke in favor of the project. Largest Ultmt Furnace I.lwlited. YOUNGSTOWN, O., Feb. 14.

CARKEGIE t Wal Battle Begun Between P Great Steel Kings. Many Millions of Dollars In , volved In Litigation. M r. Frlck Charges M r. Carnegie With Fraud-Says He Is a Victim of Malice. riTTSHUIEO, Fob. 1 l.-The announce ment in the papers today that the long threatened clash of the steel kings had been finally precipitated by H. C. Frick filing the widely heralded suit against Andrew Carnegie nnd the Carnegie Stool company, praying for on equitable ac counting of the ex-chairman' stock hold ings in the giant steel concern, created a sensation in financial and manufacturing circles here and was the principal topic throughout the city. The suit is regard ed a the most important ever tiled in connection with the steel business, nnd it Is said more money is at stake thau in any legal proceedings ever brought in this country in which all tho parties were simply citizens. Steel manufacturers view the trouble as a bitter personal struggle for supremacy and are watching each move with intense Interest. The legal talent called into action by the suit is nn array of the giants of the profession in this state, with probable luminaries of national repute yet to be included. On Mr. Frick's side are John G. Johnson of Philadelphia, who stand at the head of the equity lawyers of the city and perhaps of the state and who ha been engaged in some of the greatest legal battles of the country; David T, Watson of Pittsburg, an attorney scurce- IIKNRY C. FRICK. ly less widely known and whose prowons in the civil courts of the states has been proved time and again in cases whore vast fortunes were ut Btake, and filially Willis F. McCook, for years the personal counselor and intimate friend of Mr. Frick, whose ability in handling the af fairs of big corporations has put him in the front rank at the Alleghany county bar. Strangely enough, Attorney Wat son is the man who originally drew up the now famous "Ironclad" agreement for Andrew Carnegie, and which lie has now been retained to find a flaw In and have declared invalid. It is said that Mr. Watson spent the best part of three months in drafting this instrument and when finished declared that it was the strongest pnper of the kind he had evei formulated. As. yet little has come to light of the plans made by Andrew Carnegie to de fend his company's interests, although it Is almost certain that Dnlzell, Scott & Gordon have been at work for days in the Carnegie defense. Congressman John Dulzell, the senior member of this luw firm, is not in Pittsburg, and so far has attended none of the conferences which are reported to have recently taken plnce with Mr. Carnegie's adherents and repre sentatives in the steel company, but he will altogether likely take a hand before long. Other prominent lawyers of both this city and New York nre mentioned as having been retained by Mr. Carnegie, hut Just .who will really be opposed to the legal array on Mr. Frick's side can not certainly be affirmed until a day or two has passed nnd answer is made to the bill. Attorney MeCook said today that he confidently expected the suit to come to trial before midsummer and probubly much earlier. At noon today no notice of the suit had been served upon the defendants or their counsel. Secretary Moreland of the Car- negie hteel company sniil tlint he liad not seen the bill and refused to talk about it. When the company had anything to give out, he said, it would come through the regular channel. Dnlzell, Scott & Gordon, the defend ant's counsel, were equally reticent. Pres ident C. M. Schwnb, who is looked upon as Mr. Carnegie's personal representa tive during his absence from the city, left for Washington Inst night. It is sup posed that he is on Ids way to see Mr. Carnegie, who is at Dungonoss, Feriuin- d in n. Flu., visiting his sister-in-luw, Mrs. Thomas M. Carnegie. Mr. Frick's contention, as set forth in the hill in equity, may be stated briefly as follows: He charges Carnegie with trying to force him out of the steel company through personal malice and by trickery. He alleges a fraudulent scheme by which Carnegie is to obtain Frick's stock, valued at more than $1(1,000,000, for fO, 000,000. Declares that old and void "ironclad" contract is used by Carnegie in his plan to compel Frlck to sell his stock at his (Carnegie s) price. He demands that if Carnegie declines to accept his proposal to buy his (Frick's) stock at its market value, as fixed by three arbitrators, the Carnegie Steel com pany be dissolved and a receiver appoint ed to wind np the business. In 161)0 Carnegie estimated the net profits for llMX) at 140,000,000, and Frlck estimated them at $42,000,000. Carnegie at that time valued the prop erty at more than $250,000,000 und de clared be could sell it on the Loudou market for $500,000,000. Based on these figures, Frlck declares that his 6 per cent Interest Is worth $16, 238,000. ! , mm- I. W. Hartman & Son. Feb. 15 to 21, Inclusive.

ASSCUURMANSEESIT Commercial Benefits Derived From Recent War. WORLD'S MARKETS SOW OPES TO TJS Where Kmilnnd anil flprninny Kept the Tnlted States I'rom Competi tion It la Now Ours, and the Llon'a Share. ITHACA, N. Y., Feb. ll.-President Jacob Gould Schuruiau of Cornell uni versity, in delivering nn address before the Business Men s association of Ithaca yesterday, spoke at some length on the issues arising out of the Philippine ques tion. Regarding the commercial benefits which the United States is to derive ns a result of the Spanish-American war, he said: "The markets of the world nre open to us nnd receiving our products. The Span ish war gave us a solution to that ques tion. That war was waged to drive from Cuba un effete European power, a gov ernment of tyranny. Irony of fate has followed up our late war, and, paradox though it be, we are now an Asiatic power, with new outlets for our products. "These are hard facts," continued Mr. Schurman, "and as strange as they are true. Where England ami Germany kept us from competition it is now all our own, and the linn's share is coming with it. We allowed Africa to be sliced up by European powers. It is our national crime. China bus opened the doors to its 400,000,000 humnn souls for us, Russia, France, Germany and England were di viding that great empire as Africa was divided. We might have lost it. Eng lishmen were in despair. Their trade was ridiculed by Russia, Germany and France. But the United States alone opened the doors of China and accom plished one of the greatest achievements in her history. "Our flag Is anebored in the Faeific; it is flowing over the Philippines. Hence forth we are to be on au equal footing in Asia with Russia, Germany, Frauce and England. But our mission is not alono to make money there, although Provi dence dropped the islands into our lap. Eight million people with immortal souls have been redeemed from tyranny of ages, and our mission is to share with them our highest American civilization and liberty. They will accept our flag, our education, and then our mission will be accomplished. It will be their flag nnd ours, their glory nnd ours, their pride end ours, emblem of . the orient in its highest aud noblest form." Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor ana cneertuiness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that It Is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often. If the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when It should be able to control the passage, It Is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.

Suffel, Jr., who keeps a boarding house in Frankfort on Broadway near the Cap itol square, said last night that she wit nessed the shooting of Senator William tloebel in the stutehouse yard on the morning of Jan. UO. She had been ask ed by Colonel Roger D. Williams of the Second regiment, Kentucky state guard, to furnish hoard for several officers of his regiment who were coining to Frank fort. She had started to go to his ollice to tell him what she would do In the matter. Immediately after entering the in closure she was passed by Senator Goe bel, who tipped his hat to her. lie turn ed to the right of the fountain, while she turned toward the left. Just as Mr. Gocbel was about opposite the fountaia she says she saw n man who wns walking a short distance behind him pull a pistol and shoot him in the left side. He han dled the revolver with his left hand, and the report was followed by n smnll amount of thin, white smoke. She saw the man run to the statehouse, enter the building and thou come out and go to the wounded man. She says Eph Lil ian!, whom she knows, entered the state house a few moments before the man who did the shooting reached the steps. She did not know the man who fired tht shot, but has given a good dcscYiptinn of him to Governor Taylor, who has also a full written statement from her, as well as one from a commercial traveler and another woman who saw the occurrence. WAR ON TRUSTS. GoTernmcnt Ownership of Hnllaoada Favored. CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-After a heated debate the resolutions committee of tht antitrust conference last night decided to report in favor of government ownership of railroads and for their seizure on pay ment of actual value aud without pay ment for "watered stock or other ficti tious values." There was a sharp dis cussion in the committee and Bcvcral tilts between members brought on by an ef fort to make the platform read as it had been drawn up, that the government should seize the railroads on payment of actual value "and without payment for franchise values." Unanimous action was finally obtained by cutting out the words "franchise val ues," inserting instend the phrase "wa tered stock or other fictitious values." The committee also unanimously favor ed direct popular legislation as a means of obtaining the result. Dark For Damon, TACOMA, Feb.. 13.
