ITS POWERS cURTAILED.
Why Industrial Commission Is Un.
able to Regulate Rates.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Most of todays
session of the subcommittee of the
United States Industrial commission
was taken up with the hearing of tes-
timony given by Edward P. Bacon of
Milwaukee.
According to Mr., Bacon, the whole
trouble over alleged determinations by
railroads and by rebates given to ship
pers in the carrying of grain, is caused
by the fact that the interstate COM
merce commission has not the power it
is supposed to possess for the regula-
ton of rates Its power had been cur
tailed by the supreme court, and COM
petition among railroads for the carry
ing of grain will continue with dis
elimination and rebates. Mr.. Bacon
urged as a remedy legislation increas-
ing the power of the interstate COM
merce commission so that ii might en-
force laws for the modification and
equalization of railroad rates.
Mr.. Bacon said conditions would also
be considerably improved if the rail-
roads We're allowed to make pooling
contracts under the supervision of the
interstate commerce commission. Mr..
Bacon said that the low export rate
for shipment encourages a large trade
though it operates seriously to the det-
riment of the millers of this country
c. F. Fuller of Norfolk, Neb., told of
alleged determinations by railroads in
his state. Z. H. Evans of Indianapolis
also talked Of various Determinations,
especially in the matter of differentialS
in rates on flour and grain for. export.
Charles F. Clark of Chicago gave
some facts in relation to the inspection
of different kinds of grain.

Price. Utah. Nov. 1S-The branch
road of the Rio Grande Western, which
has now reached the new coal camp of
Sunnyside, will not stop there, but Will
be extended on up into the mountains
seven miles beyond the original pro-
posed destination, where some rich de-
posts of gilsonite, elater1te ana Wurt-
zelite are to be opened up, and If pres
ent plans go through there will be ex-
tensive works for the treatment OF
these hydro-carbon ores established
there The grade of the road reached
Sunnyside the first of the week, the iron
was laid, and now the contract has been
let for the extension to the mineral
beds. which have been heretofore owned
by outside parties, but recently were
acquired by those interested in the
coal properties, which the railroad was
built to develop.
In addition to the seven or eight
mineral wax claims already located,
and which have been proved of good
value, parties interested in the coal
proposition have taken up some 200
acres additional ground, and they will
develop these on a big scale. Among
the men interested, and who have run
out Joe Letter in the deal, are Royal
c. Peabody, treasurer of the Rio Grande
Western railway, and also treasurer of
the Pleasant Valley Coal company; Su-
perintendent Sharp of the latter COM
pany, Gnd several Salt Lake and Den
yer capitalists, among them parties
closely identified with the Burlington
railway. Their plans include the es-
adjustment of reduction works, from
which many of the mineral dyes used
in the manufacture of calicos, wall pa
per and similar manufactures are OBJ
tanned. Such industries are in opera
ton in Scotland, and these will be
fashioned along the same lines.
All of the gilsonite now taken out
in this section of Utah is shipped out
of the country for refinement. but this
will not be the case above Sunnyside
station, for here viii be built, if the
plans do not miscarry, a separate camp,
and everything that can be done on the
ground will be carried on here. The
road will be completed inside of the
next sixty days, and when this is done,
SO that materials can be gotten in
cheaply. then operations will commence
on the big scale that is mapped out.

IS able to hold its own against the
Beers. and that Estcourt is in a posi-
ton to beat back an attack by the
Boer forces now facing it.
On the other hand, the advices pay
testimony to the ceaseless activity of
the burghers on the Free State from

relief for Ladysmith and. if possible,
TO isolate and capture Estcourt. which
is the nearest town to Ladysmith still
held by the British.
A number of small Boer commands
from the east and west are converging
on Estcourt and the railroad just south
of that place. The Beers already ag-
gregate at least 1000. with few guns,

helping to clear the derailed trucks.

From the Free State frontier comes
news that reinforcements are rapidly

WHIPS TWO IN SAME RING
FEAT ACCOMPLISHED BY TERRY
MGovERN AT CHICAGO.
Puts Out Patsy Haley In One Round
and Turkey Point" Bill Smith
Lies Down In the Third.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.--Terry McGovern
established a record tonight by knock
ing out two men in quick succession IN
the same ring. The first victim of the
champion Seatherweight was Patsy
Haley of Buffalo, who was counted out
after one minute and forty, seconds OF
fighting. and Turkey Point" Bill Smith
of Philadelphia, who went ont after one
minute in the third round, was the sec
ond.
Both fights were to have been for six
rounds each. Haley and Smith adopted
opposite tactics, Haley mixing from
the start and Smith running around the
ring in the effort to keep beyond Nc
Governs swings. Had Smith mixed 1t
as did Haley. he would have lasted no
longer than did the Buffalo, for within
a few seconds after he made his first
stand and showed any intention OF
fighting it out, he was sent to the floor
with right on the jaw which put him
out of the business for fully three min
uteS-
In the brief round of the first fight,
Haley was knocked down twice. the
first time a left jab to the Jaw put him
down for seven seconds. A right swing
on the point of the Jaw put him down
and out. It was five minutes before
he was able to leave the ring.
In the second bout, Smith sprinting
and lodging in his efforts to avoid
punishment, caused him to repeatedly
fall 10 the floor. He fell four times in
the opening round. and was on the door
seven times in the second round, flop
ping repeatedly without being hit.
When they came UP for the third
round McGoyern was angry. A right
uppercut sent Smith TO the floor for
nine seconds. When he came up a
right swing on the jaw finished him,
and his seconds dragged him 20 his cor
ner. McGovern weighed 122. Haley 11s
and Smith 12O. George Siler refereed
both bouts.

1t is true that advance guards have
been sent westward far ahead of the
forward movement of the network.
One of the advances was the line to
Denver built more than a dozen years
ago, and another is the line through
Wyoming which effects a junction with
the Northern Pacific at Billings.
With these two trunk lines as a ba-
sis, the Burlington has been developing
the whole country through which they
extend. There is satisfactory evidence
that this network is going to be extend
ed westward, and it Is possible that
one of the lines will radiate from Dem
yer and pass through Salt Lake. The
Colorado extension could go down the
Grand river to Glenwood. and thence
by way of Grand Junction to Utah. All
of these lines may not be built in a
year or in five years, but it is clear
that the far-seeing management of the
Burlington intendsst TO build its network
system steadily westward across the
Rockies, and finally TO the Pacific

BoER SHELLS HARMLESS.
Produce Little Bad Effect In Bonn
9 bardment of Ladysmith.

Estcourt Natal, Friday evening, Nov.
IA runner arrived here from Lady
smith today bearing dispatches from
General White, who reports all we'll
there. He adds that the Boer shells
have no effect. General White recently
made a sortie and drove the Beers
from their gun positions The British
did not lose a man. The town is
healthy
1t is rumored that the Beers have
occupied the village of Weenen. twenty
five miles hence. What advantage they
hope to derive therefrom is not known.
The bombardment of Ladysmith was
continued almost daily with big guns.
The Beers endeavored on Tuesday. Nov.
IA, to make a closer investment, but
were repulsed, General White follow
ing this up with a sortie which drove
the Beers from all their positions with
considerable loss. The Beers are re-
ported to be seriously short of pro-
visions.
Dr. Briscoe, who was in charge of the
Red Cross train, sent to fetch the killed
and succor the wounded Of the armored
train disaster, gives an interesting ac-
count of a second interview which he
had with the Boer commandant who
met DIR. Briscoe as soon as he left the
train carrying a white flag. The COM
mandant replied to the doctors request
for permission to remove the dead and
wounded by saying that there was none
and to hand over. The dead had al
ready been buried and that SO far as,
the wounded were concerned they were
being well cared for at the Boer hos
pital.
The Boer commandant and DR.. Bris-
coe, 1t is added, interchanged comph-
ments on the pluckiness exhibited on
both sides. The commandment spoke
English fiuently, was of highly polished
manners, expressed admiration for the
British soldiers and promised to do his
best to get the names of the killed.
When questioned concerning the
whereabouts of Winston Churchill the
commandant replied: Il do not know"
DR.. Briscoe says the public and the
relatives of the wounded may be as
sured that they will be well cared for,
as a Scotch surgeon. DR.. Maxwell. was
pressed into the BOer service at Erme-
