President Roosevelt .Tells Congress that the Resolution to Probe Rail way Methods Is Weak. Washington.—President Roosevelt j on Wednesday .sent a message ; to congress announcing his sig- ; nature of the joint resolution recently passed instructing the inter-state ; commerco commission to examine into the subject of railroad discrinii- j nations and monopolies in coal and j oil. He says that he has signed it with hesitation, because it may achieve little or nothing. He indi- ! cates, too, that if the investigation i proposed by the resolution is conduct- j ed thoroughly it will result in giving immunity from criminal prosecution to all persons who aro called and sworn as witnesses. In the opinion of the president the direction contained in the resolution j will remain practically inoperative unless money be provided to carry on i the investigation and the commission be authorized to take testimony under its provisions. He suggests, there fore, that congress give consideration to just what it desires the inter-state I commission to do and that $50,000 be • placed at the disposal of the commis- ; sion to defray the expenses of the j proposed investigation. FRENCH CABINET RESIGNS. Was Defeated in Parliament and Threw Up the Sponge. Paris, France.—Like a bolt frou. a clear sky the Rouvier ministry was j defeated in the chamber of deputies j last night and immediately resigned. The cabinet crisis comes at a dramatic j moment, when the Franco-German contest has reached a decisive stage and may exert an important adverse influence on the Algeciras conference j and on European affairs. The defeat of the government came | on a debate over the church disorders. \ The government succeeded in holding only 234 votes, while the various ele ments in opposition—clericals, social- j ists and nationalists —united and | polled 207 votes, thus placing the ministry in a minority of 33. The debate in the chamber of depu ties was upon the bloody riot Tuesday : during the taking of an inventory of a ■church in the village of Boeschepe, re- I suiting in the death of a manifestant. Premier Rouvier asked for the ! adoption of a resolution approving '< the conduct of the government and the resolution was defeated. ORE MINES ARE TIED UP.

LONG TRIAL ENDED Man Who was Charged with Con spiracy to Defraud the Gov ernment Is Exonerated. Washington, D. C.—George E. Green, a former state senator from j Binghamton, N. Y., who has been ou ( trial in the district supreme court for more than two weeks, on charges of conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States and to*de- | fraud the government in connection with the sale of time recording clocks to the postofflco department, was on Thursday acquitted by a jury. The announcement of the verdict, j which was returned in court shortly j before 4 p. m., was followed by a re- | niarkable demonstration. One of Mr. Green's closest friends and fellow townsmen who sat by his side threw his arms around him and fairly shook < him the instant the words "not ! guilty" came from the lips of the fore- i man of the jury. Others jumped to j their feet and rushed toward the table I at which the acquitted man was sit- j ting and for several minutes he was kept busy shaking hands. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty on the Indictment known as 23,- j 928, in accordance with the instruc tions of the court. That charged a conspiracy to commit an offense. At- | torney Worthington suggested that ! the bonds of the defendant, which up to the time of his acquittal on the con- ; spiracy charge were SIO,OOO, be re duced and they were accordingly fixed at $5,000, based upon one of the other \ charges pending against Mr. Green. O. G. Staples, of Washington, sub- j scribed as surety. INDICTED EOR EORGERY. Three Officials of a Life Insurance Company Are in Trouble.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1906. WIPED OUT. Yankee Soldiers Slaugh ter 600 Moros. DESPERATE FIGHT. Ths Battle Lasted Two Days and Every Defender of the Moro Stronghold was Slain. Manila, P. I.—An important ac tion between American forces and hostile Moros has taken place near Jolo.

Reports Show More Conservatism in Some Industries. New York.—R. G. Dun &• C-o.'a Weekly Review of trade says: Some irregularity is noted in trade reports for the past, week, but not more than is seasonable, and mercan tile collections are generally prompt. A little conservatism regarding for ward business in some industries may be attributed to high prires, although the greatest strength appears in build ing material and preparations for structural work are beyond precedent. The few minor strikes do not seriously interfere with progress. Thus far the only noticeable effect' of the coal controversy is the unusu ally large demand for this season of the year in all fuel markets and the disposition of small merchants in the immediate vicinity of the anthracite mines to allow stocks to become de pleted. There is little idle machinery in any of the leading manufacturing industries. Failures this week numbered 221, against 214 last year, and in Canada 24, compared with 25 a year ago.
