Comparative Rail Mileage.

A comparison of the two great rail-
way systems of the northwest shows
that in respect to total mileage the
Great Northern system has the advant-
age of its older competitor, the North
ern Pacific, by one mile, without taking
into consideration the Northern Steam
ship Company plying between Buffalo
and Duluth, which is operated by and
belongs to the Great Northern The to-
tai rail mileage of the two systems is
4,495 miles for the Great Northern and
4,494 for the Northern Pacific When
the Great Northern constructs it's nee
essary branch lines as feeders to the
main line the slight difference above
mentioned will be largely increased.
Between Spokane and Seattle the dis
lance via the Great Northern is BAT
miles, and by the Northern Pacific 415
miles, making the former road 6S miles
the shortest. Between Spokane and st.
Paul the Northern Pacific mileage is
1,512 miles, the Great Northern 1.47O
miles, difference in favor of the latter
of AZ miles. The Northern Pacific is
next to its young competitor as the
short line to Chicago, their much
Wanted rival, the Burlington-B Billings
route, being considerably longer than
either. The completion of the Cascade
tunnel on the Great Northern will
shorten the distance to the sound coun-
try by 10 miles,

AN INJUSTICE TO PowDERLY.
Yelled Attack Upon Him in the biography

Stephens surrendered his Office and
authority to Powderly with tears in

ancient history is supposed to have

ATTORNEY GENERALS REPORT.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The attorney

in the shape of subsidy bonds and there
will eventually result, when the subsidy

REPORT ON INTERSTATE CONNIE RICE
Railroads Have Many Bad Habits Which
Need Correction.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The interstate
commerce commission transmitted its
eighth annual report to congress today.
1t recommends that carrying corpora
lions be made indictable and subject
to a fine for violation of the act. The
commission explains the necessity of
providing a single classification of
fl lights for the whole country, saying
that experience has shown the necessity
for congressional action and supports
the belief that uniform classification
depends upon the passage of a statute
requiring its accomplishment.
The report says that the railway SER
vice which pertains to shipping. billing
and collection charges, especially as to
traffic over connecting roads, Is con-
Quoted with much uncertainty, lack of
system and regularity, so that it justi-
fies the charges of gross carelessness
and disregard of the rights of the ship
ping public. The fact that carriers I'M
dertake the collection of overcharges
to adjust the same, while right and
proper in itself does not furnish an ex-
cuse or justification for the practice
of overcharging to the extent to which
1t is carried on. The present method
of adjusting claims of this character
is attended with such delay and vexa-
ton to claimants that it is extremely
unsatisfactory, resulting in great in
justice to shippers and consignees. I'm
dercharges also result in grave injus-
tees.
1t Is stated that the provision of the
law relating to through routes and
through rates, on account of the limited
meaning which has been given to it
by the courts. is practically inopera-
tive and it is strongly urged that the
law be amended to give effect to the in
tention of congress in respect to this
matter.
After a lengthy review of the rail
way pooling bill, the project says: I'VE
submit for the consideration of congress
that pooling without other remedial
legislation is unadvisable. Pooling I'M

commission and rendered capable of

companying effective remedial legisla-

Chopped and Mutilnted Body OF a Chi.

today in "A shipping case in an alley

point The head was not badly mutilat-
ed and the police waited for identifica-

found, but they had been carefully dis

doctors said the man could not have

was thought the French shipping case
was used to divert suspicion. With the
body were found clippings of carpet,
which were identified as having come
from the Pullman palace car shops,
the clippings apparently having been
used as packing for the body. In the
case was found a torn bit of paper

MUST NOT ESCAPE FROM JUSTICE
Connecticut Supreme Court orders Retrial
OF an Acquitted Man.

OF an Acquitted Man.
New Haven. Conn.,. Dec. THE text
of the Connecticut supreme court opin-
ion ordering retrial of DIR. j. e. Lee,
after his acquittal by jury for murder,
the first record of the kind in the state,
is given out today. Its main argument
is the point that the old English COM
mon law was so cruel that the judges
then wisely held that the accused. after
a jury acquittal, could not be put in
jeopardy a second time for the same
offense. but now that the old law has
been relaxed. a criminal ought not to
benefit by the former practice and JUS
tice be thwarted by errors of judicial
ruling. The court of five judges was
unanimous in Its opinion. The opinion
was written by Judge Hammersley.
