/. A. Nadeau. general agent Of the North
ern Pacific road. is firmly OF the opinion
that the prevailing low passenger rates
on the transcontinental lines will result I'm
world of good to the state of Washing
ton. Mr.. Nadeau Is a close student OF the
nature Of the travel 10 the Northwest. and
Is In a position to know the results In the
past and the probable results In the future.
To Post-Intelligencer reporter yester-
day Mr.. Nadeau said
THE land department OF the Northern
Pacific road has done more business Just
recently than has been done in the past
five years. More sales have been made
and more inquiries made regarding the
purchase Of land in Washington than ever
before. A large percentage OF the people
who are coming 10 the Northwest ARE
settlers. and they will never return to the
East. The whea. crop OF last year and
the prospects for another rich harvest this
year have greatly stimulated the rush of
settlers to this state. and / expect that
hundreds of others will come before the
summer Is over. Bettered conditions In
the East have also been in a large meas
ure responsible for much Of the travel to
this state"

Eddy reports that the interstate COM
merce commission will sit a, Portland on
June and :. and that number OF bust
ness men and representatives of Eastern
lines have been summoned 10 appear to
answer certain charges which have been
preferred against the Eastern representa-
tives. The action OF the commission In
deciding 10 make an investigation has
created decided sensation in business
and railroad circles, and some important
developments may come to light.
Il Is alleged that certain Eastern lines
have been cutting rates in violation OF
the Interstate commerce law, and that
certain Portland merchants have been
guilty OF receiving money from these Ines
I'm compensation for giving them their
business. IL is said that the men who
have been summoned will do all In their
power to avoid appearing before the COM
mission and telling all they know about
the charges preferred. IL necessary they
will take vacation while the board il In
session.
Mr.. Eddy. in talking about the matter
yesterday. said TO Post-Inteliigencer re-
porter:
81 do not believe that the representa-
tves OF the Eastern lines who are In
vowed have any reason 20 be afraid.
From what l have been told. the charges
which have been preferred cannot be
proven, even IL they are true. 1 don't be-
lieve there Is any law which can compel a
railroad representative to testify that he
has been guilty OF cutting rates, or that
he paid out money 10 merchants in order
to secure business / do not believe that
the evidence on hand warrants the sitting
of the interstate commerce commission.
and il happened to be one of the persons
implicated / would not hesitate to testify

Considered "a Grave Menace to Peace-Ger-
many Forsces the Possibility of War.
LONDON, Jan. 3l.--Whilc the Situa-
tion in the far east continues to pro-
greSS peacefully and there is every in
dication of an amicablc understanding
between the powers, the situation in
France. in the opinion of wcll-inform-
I'll persons, is a gravcr menace to
peace. and in the present eXcitablc
state of the nation and shaliy con-
dition of the ministry, something is
likely to occur to disrupt European
peace. A note of warning has even
been sounded by some of the French
newspapers. which urge a cessation of
the present agitation in France, point
ing out that the country should not
play into the hands of Germany. The
Petit journal says the government
may soon he unable to prevent some
one in authority from making Il state
ment which is liable to occasion Il con-
tlict. We have certain proofs that
Germany foresees the possibility of
war and is making arrangements ac-
cordingly. She means to be in the
right and accuse us of creating trouble.
The relations between France and
Great Britain are also drifting toward
crisis. The Niger negotiations in
Paris have not reached an agreement,
and there are no signs of them doing
81. In the meantime everything is
tending To take the questions out of
the hands of the diplomats and leave
it to be settled by the hands of SOL
lierS.
The well informed Manchester Guar
dian remarks: IF Lord Salisbury can
not come to an agreement with France,
he can noG, without the loss of some
thing more substantial than prestige,
much longer defer the occupation of
the disputed territory. Already Brit
ish troops occupy parts of the Borgu
country and, while the international
commission is marking time in Paris,
rival claimants in Africa, are drawing
perilously near each other. This con-
stitutes the real danger of the situa-
ton"

IN HIS OWN TRAP.
Judge Carpenter MORALLY Wounded by "A

Judge Carpenter MORALLY Wounded by "A
Spring Gun Set for Thieves.
SHEPHEBDSVILLE. Nv. Jan. 2S.-Nil-
hite Carpenter, aged 81, for several
years county judge and state senator,
was probanfs- fatally wounded Thurs
day morning by trap of his own maxi
ing. His right leg was shot
off below the knee, and, owing
to his advanced age, he may
not recover. Judge Carpenter has feared
that thieves would enter his store al
night. SO he placed a shotgun in his
store in such a way that the entrance
of a burglar would cause the gun to
be discharged directly at the door.
Judge Carpenter, on opening the store
Thursday morning. neglected to dis
connect the gun
