Berlin, Dec. 4.—A dispatch to the Lokal
Anzelger from Kleff via Podwoloszizka,
Dec. 8, noon, says:
One company of the pontoon battalion
mutinies today and, fully armed, marched
through the streets to persuade other
troops to join it. Only the engineer corps
did so. The mutineers then (2000 strong)
continued their march.
Two hundred Cossacks were sent to pre-
vent their advance, but Gen. Drake in or-
der to prevent bloodshed subsequently
withdrew the Cossacks and permitted the
mutineers to pass. Gen. Drake made re-
peated and kindly efforts to persuade the
mutineers to abandon their foolhardy
course. Part of them had complied when
Governor General Souchmatieff telephoned
an order that energetic measures must
be taken against the mutineers and that
they should be fired upon at the first op-
portunity.
The mutineers halted before the bar-
racks of the Azoff regiment, which was
called upon to join the marchers. During
the demonstration at the barracks several
mutineers fired, wounding an officer and
two or three soldiers. The troops then
fired upon the mutineers, who returned
the fire, and fled after several more vol-
leys from the troops.
The casualties on both sides are about
70 dead and 300 wounded.
Two hundred ihutineers
dered.
Dr. Valentin Nalpasse, a French doctor
living in Constantinople, has started a
crusade with the object of abolishing the
handshake, and substituting in its place
the “temenah,” which is the oriental
form of salutation. According to Dr.
Nalpasse, the hand contains over 80,000
microbes to the square inch, and in shak-
ing hands these microbes are conveyed
from one person to another.
He suggests in place of the ordinary
form of greeting that th® “temenah” be
universally employed, which consists in
placing the right hand on the heart, on
the lips and on the forehead, signifying
“thou hast a place in my heart, on my
lips, and thou art always in my
thoughts.”

two bills providing for important changes
Rockefeller, Rogers and Other
Magnates Will Be Hauled Up

By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.—Senator
Overman of North Carolina will probably
introduce in the senate this week a bill
providing for the establishment of a com-
mission to investigate market conditions
throughout the world and make such
recd^nmendations as to promote export
American manufactured products. It pro-
vides for a commission of five members
and the employment of experts, to last
three years and cost not more than $500,-
000.
It is stipulated in the title that the com-
mittee will consider ways and means for
enlarging export trade in cotton products
and other manufactures of the United
States.”
The proposed commission is modeled
somewhat after the British and German
commissions that have made such inves-
tigations and negotiated reciprocity
treaties.
Senator Overman said he did not intend
the commission to go on the tariff prob-
lem, as it should be non-partisan and for
the benefit of all manufacturers.
“It is generally recognized that there
is a strong need of such a committee be-
cause of the poor showing made by our
manufactured exports as compared with
our exports of raw material,” said Sen-
ator Overman. "The cotton products of
the south are increasing every year. The
south exports more than 7,000,000 bales
of raw cotton, which are manufactured
into cotton goods in England and sent
back to South America, where $52,000,000
worth went to Argentina alone last year.
Why should we not get that trade in-
stead of England? Why should we not
manufacture cotton goods if we can get
the market for them? This commission
is intended to help find that market.”

Washington, D. C„ Dec. 4.—Congress
will convene today at noon with the
usual formalities, but the sessions of the
two bodies’ will be brief.
In the senate new members will be
sworn in and the routine incident to the
first day transacted, after which’ ad-
journment will be taken out of respect
to the memory of the late Senator Platt
of Connecticut.
In the house greater interest attaches
to the proceedings because complete
ganization will be necessary. This in-
cludes the election of the speaker and
other officers and the drawing of seats
by members of the house.
The first session of the Fifty-ninth
congress has been looked forward to as
one likel yto be more than ordinarily
eventful. Pending matters of commer-
cial and political interest have provided
an intensely attractive topic of discus-
sion during the long recesS. Columns of
newspaper space have been devoted
daily for many weeks to predictions of
legislative battles that may be fought by
factions interested in the outcome, de-
mands for railroad rate legislation or
legislation on any one of the dozen pub-
lic questions of equal importance, mat-
ters to be urged upon the attention of
congress including questions of protect-
ing the interests of policy holders of in-
surance companies, statehood for the re-
maining territories, Panama canal con-
struction, immigration and treatment of
Chinese under the present exclusion law,
raismg the revenue against possible de-
ficit, control of corporations engaged in
interstate business, the corrupt use of
money at elections, the Philippines,
Santo Domingo and other western re-
publics, tariff questions and commercial
competition with Germany, as well as
the usual diversified subjects which the
vat ic us departments annually present to
be reviewed by congress.
Early in the day the lobbies of the
hotels were enlivened by many visitors
preparing to attend the session and the
crowds on the streets were all directed
toward the big marble building on the
hill. Although admission to the gal-
leries was by card this did not prevent
hundreds of sightseers from wandering
through the corridors and inspecting the
committee rooms and other points from
which the general public is not barred.

Washington, D. C„ Dec. 4.—Senators
Perkins and Flint called on the president
today to discuss with him theappoint-
ment of a successor to former Gov. Fifer
of Illinois on the interestate commerce
commission. At the conclusion of the con-
ference it was announced that the presi-
dent would appoint Franklin Lane of San
Francisco to the vacancy created by
Fifer’s resignation, which takes effect
Jan 1 next.
Insurance Investigating Committee Pro-
poses to Work Harder Hereafter.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 4.—Officers of the
Mutual Reserve and the Hartford com-
panies will be summoned before the leg-
islative investigation committee which re-
sumes its work this morning. H. H.
Rogers of the Mutual Life may be sum-
moned in a few days.
Thos. F. Ryan, who, it was reported,
was to go on the stand this morning, is
not likely, it was said, to go in this week
though it is the intention of .the commit-
tee to call him before the investigation
closes.
One of the members of the investiga-
tion committee said yesterday that the
life of the insurance companies would
somewhat depend on this inquiry..
The most important demand of the in-
vestigation has come from the Insurance
companies themselves.. Several of the
companies have decided that the best
