LONDON, Aug. 1l.-TNew York Herald Gable
Special to The BEE II learn on the
highest authority that the government has
decided to hold an inquiry into the causes
which led to the capsizing of the Victoria
after having been in collision with the
Camperdown. This is in order to resolve
the doubt as to whether The capsizing was
due to the defective design of her
construction or the fact that the watertight
compartments are not completely closed.
The inquiry will take the form of either a
parliamentary committee or commission of
inquiry similar to that which investigated
the Tay bridge disaster. The minutes of
court martial of the survivors of the Victoria
are in the meantime to be presented to Parlia-
mcnt. 1t is not yet definitely decided
whether Markham and Johnson will be
court martialcd for hazarding the safety of

CHICAGO, Aug. ll-ISpecial Telegram tt
THE BEE. While the eastern roads hav,
completely ignored the demands of the public
for lower rates to the Worlds fair the indi
cations are that the western lines VIII soon
make rates that viii bring the masses to the
fair. 1t is not the pressure of public opinion
however, that moves the western roads to
lower their rates. But they have got into
wrangle among themselves, and this is
more powerful lever to force rate down than
public opinion. The following telegram sent
today by Chairman Caldwell of the Western
Passenger association to General Passenger
Agent Francis of the B. & Nj. explains the
trouble.
The Rock Island has made a request on
the chairman for authority to use in the
state of Nebraska and other territory in
which distribution has been made of an
vertisements hereinafter quoted on the
basis of n half rate or ono standard regular
fare for the round trip to Chicago and re-
turn, as against the inequality in which
that company has been placed by the large
poster advertisement of the Burlington
route, reading as follows burlington route.
Rates cut in two. Half rates To the Worlds
fair now in effect; tickets good thirty days.
First-cass in every particular. Go early to
avoid the rush. Apply TO nearest ticket
agent Burlington route for fun information.
D. Francis, general passenger agent
Likely to Slash Rates.
at is claimed that large numbers of people
are applying at Rock Island offices at Omaha
ana Lincoln for tickets to Chicago and re.
turn at half rate, same rs advertised by
your company, and on being advised that
such rates are not in effect are leaving the
offices, presumably purchasing via your line.
The Rock Island alleges that the inequality
thus established is seriously affecting its
business and claims that under the pro-
vision of the agreement for equality it is the
chairman's duty to authorize it to use So
called half rates, meaning one regular
standard fare for the round trip from the
territory referred to until such time as the
advertisements are withdrawn
In order that the application may be
properly considered, Il hearing is hereby APP
pointed at the chairman's once for l0:30 to-
morrow morning, Saturday, August IL, at
which time you are requested to be present
or represented. Meantime, | would like to
hear from you by wire regarding the matter,

ment had been distributed"
Unless the Burlington succeeds in con.
vinclng its competitors at the meeting IN
this city today that the above advertisement
was hoax or Il forgery, it is quite certain
that the rates in the Western Passenger
association territory will be reduced to one
fare for the round trip within II few days.

One Of the most CHASTITY executions
Of the French revolution was that Of
the marquis de Marville. Whilo
standing on the scafold awaiting
the completion of the preliminary
arrangements, the marquis addressed
a few words to the assemblage of
people. He was proceeding to say
that before he died he wished to
open their eyes to the truth, when
he was seized by the executioner and
forced under the knife. With the
utmost sang-froid the marquis con-
tinued: Educated as / was among
a privileged class voluntarily aban-
doned my friends to live among you,
to earn my daily bread side by side
with you, and have always acted
like good patriot. At this mo-
ment the knife fell. The guillotine
was. however, in such constant
requisition that it was frequently
out of order. Upon this occasion
the knife fell but did not sever the
vertebrae, although the flesh was hor-
ribly mangled. The executloner and
his assistants raised the knife anew.
As soon as they had done so the
marquis, still lying face downward,
continued: "As ! was saying, fellow
citizens, when / was interrupted"
And again the knife fell, this time
accomplishing its CHASTITY work.
