THE FOREIGN RAILROAD COMPE-
TITION

There is certainly nothing unrea-
sonable in the demand Of the
American railroad men that they
receive at least as much protec-
ton as do American shipping in
terests, and the latter are protected to
some extent against the unfair COM
petition of outsiders. The commission
appointed to adjust the relations be-
tween the United States and Canada
Will of course have before it the sub
Ject of the unjust competition of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad with Amer
lean roads. Whether the commission
is empowered to go to the extent nee
essary in inquiry and report is doubted,
however, in some quarters 1t may
not have jurisdiction beyond consider
alton of the bonding privilege which
the Canadian Pacific enjoys to the
detriment Of American transcontinental
roads.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has taken up the subject
at It's August session, to in
quire how far our trade interests are
affected injuriously by the competition
of the British road. The "Oregonian''
quotes from the order of the latter
commission opening the subject, as fol-
lows:
1t is charged by the American lines
that the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company has been and still is in open
violation of the Act to regulate COM
merce, making unreasonably low rates
between various points in the United
states not as measure of legitimate
competition, but as a means of retalia-
uon Tor the purpose of exacting GER
tain unreasonable demands upon its
part, and that such illegal conduct on
the part Of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way will result, if persisted in, in the
utter Generalization of passenger rates
over a large portion of the United
States, and incalculable damage to the
interests of the American lines, all OF
which is either denied or justified by
said Canadian Pacific Railway Com
pany.
Which leads our Portland contem-
porary to remark: There is much in
tei est III the pTODdDle outcome or the
investigation. 1t may be that the COM
mission will feel justified in perma-
nent suspension of the short-haul
clause to overcome the advantage which
the Canadian line has over the Amer
lean roads"
We believe that when the subject is
fully and fairly laid before the people
the Judgment they will form will be
that common justice demands that the
American roads should be relieved OF
the foreign competition which has re-
suited not only in such injury to Amer
lean transportation interests generally
but to the trade of the country also
and especially to the commerce of the
western shores of the United States

A BEAUTIFUL PLAY.

Those who have read Robert Louis Sto-
venson's interesting story, "prince
Otto,' should they be in the stalls Of the
Academy of Music next Friday night
when Otis Skinner presents his new ro-
mantic play, "rrince Rudolph" will
readily recognize where the author found
his theme for the play, yet despite the
fact that the theme was taken from the
story the play is almost entirely original.
prince Otto" had absolutely no use for
the affairs of state. The cares OF his
2rincipality were irksome to him; also,
after discovering the charms of his wife,
he lacked the courage to tell her Of his
love. Otto had few qualities which men
care to see in men. Rudolph, on the con-
trary, is character which will appeal to
the men a 8 much rs to the women He
finds that he is in love with his wife: he
tells her so, and tries to win her aifec-
ton. He finds there are no plots afcot
and ihrt tue prime minister Of the pria-
cipality is using the princess only as 8
cats paw to further his own ends he
takes control of the affairs of state. That
he is arrested and abducted upon war
rant signed by his wife is practically tha
only point of absolute similarity in the
story of prince Otto" which is found in
This romantic comedy, Prince Rudolph
Mr.. Skinner will make handsome pro

in this romantic comedy he has found a
vehicle not only worthy of his eTorts, but
one which will also please the public who

LAST NIGHTS PLAY.

Theatre-goers enjoyed a genuine treat
last night at the Academy. Mr.. Roland
Reed, accom- panied by Miss Isadore Rush,
and supported by cast strong in every
role, presented 1.-THE Wrong Mr.. Wright -
This comedy Is original and abounds in
humorous situations, atfording ample on
portunity for the versatility of Mr. Reed
In it, he has made his greatest success
The character Seymour Sites Is wonder
fully we'll adapted to his powers and
talent. His natural manner, facial ex-
pressions and expressive action never
failed to please. Miss Isndure Rush was
in her usual form delightng all by her
charming ways and graceful manner
The hat pin scene in in the first act
showed her powers TO A wonderful de
gree. She was coQuettish and coy in so
realistic Il way. that she went straight to
the heart Of old Mr. Sites. She took the
part of Henrietta Oliver, Il lin de steele
detective Mr.. Owen Westford, as Lord
Bfazehface, was particularly strong i'm
his delireation. He was II bold faced,
degenerate, individual of the English no
bility. and and his cleverness and clum-
siness contributed to the humor of nearly
all the situations. The whole com pany
from the hotel clerk to Mr.. Reed himself
was all of high order, giving an enter
tainment pleasing and amusing in the
extreme. Mr.. Chas 5. Able as Fred
erick Bond made his role unusually tax
ing by his clever action, always suitinu
the gesture to the word. The scenes
were laid at Old Point Comfort, Va, in
the Hygeia Hotel, and OH the parade
ground of the fort. This latter was espe-
ciaaly realistic. A large audience wit
messed the production and everyone was
more than pleased. Roanoke Is particu-
larly fortunate just now in having so
many strong attractions. On next Fri
day, January {, Otis Skinner with n
strong company OF twenty players will
present his most successful romantic
comedy prince Rudolph"

In the presence of a number Of stu

medical society, at the invitation of the
owners of the petrifled mau now on exhi-

examination of the body. A hole was
borer into the body near the shoulder,
and the fragments were subjected to
chemical test. After making the exami-
nation DR.. Colson declared that there
was not the least question as to the geu-
u,neness of the specimen. That it WAS
unquestionably human body in a per-
feet state of petrifactioE. The doctor
said that the specimen was the most per-
feet that he has ever known to be- on ex-
hibition either in Europe or America.
The petrifaction Is complete. and the in.
terror of the body is in the same state as
the exterior. The body was found in the
bed of a creek near Columbia, Ly far

1t was first shown in Columbia at the
