Statistics show that the number Of
vessels arriving at Chicago now is only
ABOUT 20 per cent. of the number twenty
years ago. but the tonnage aggregate
IS nearly double, shipping on the Great
Lakes thus following ocean commerce.
IN supplying larger hulls to mccr the
demand for economy in transport alton.
n 1859 the average size Of vessels ar
irving IN the port of Chicago was 326
tons; lSS? it was just under 500 tons;
IN ls?" It was 623 tons. Since then there
has been remarkable construction Of
large vessels and though many of the
smaller and older vessels are still in
service the average size last year was
sol tons. AS the older vessels tiisap-
pear from service this average must in
crease rapidly. for a great part OF the
ne" vessels and most Of the current
construction are Of heavy tonnage.

A SENSATIONAL WITNESS,
He Alleges New York Judge Wa
Elected by Corrupt Methods.

Washington, June 1.-THE features
of to-day's session of the industrial
commission was the testimony of L.
M. Lockwood, an independent oil pro-
Queer of Pennsylvania. He denounced
the Standard Oil company and rail-
road officials as highwaymen
IF you have got to be robbed" he
declared, lit does not matter much
whether you are held UP by a Dick
Turpin with pistol or by John Rock
efeller with a railroad; it is robbery
all the same"
In the course of his statement, Mr..
Lockwood alleged that Judge Haight of
the New York court of appeals had
been elevated to his position by the
corporations through the use of a cor
ruption fund. This statement elected
a strong protest from Mr.. Farquhar of
the commission, who, as a near neigh
Dor of Judge Haight, declared him to
be one of the purest men he had ever
known. Major Farquhar appealed to
Mr.. Lockwood to withdraw his state
ment regarding Judge Haight and to
the commission to eXpunge the testi-
mony from the record, declaring that it
was not testimony, but pure libel.
The protest of Major Farquhar
brought Commissioner Bell to his feet
with demand that the evidence given
by the witness should stand as he had
given it. He maintained it was perfect
ly competent for witness before the
commission to make such comments
upon and criticism Of public men and
public affairs as he saw fit, notwith-
standing the sensitiveness of some
members of the commission regarding
the testimony which had been sub
mitted He declared that If a witness
believed a public official had been ele-
waited to his position through fraud, he
ought not be barred from saying so be-
fore the commission, as he did not re-
gard a man as sacred because of the
office he might hold. Former Congress
man Phillips. who was presiding at
the session, held that the evidence was
competent If Mr.. Lockwood desired 1t to
stand.

FIRST DAILY WAS WRITTEN.
London's Earliest Newspaper Was in
Manuscript.


1t has been discovered that what may
be called the first daily newspaper was
a manuscript letter written by salaried
correspondents and forwarded by them
every "a hours from London to the
provinces. That was in the days of the
early Stuarts.
During the commonwealth these Lon
don letters were printed in type and
circulated in large numbers. Even so
long ago as 1880 the law of libel was
such as to be characterized by Judge
Scroggs as making any newspaper pub
LEGATION illegal and tending to provoke
a breach of the peace.
Defoe, the author of Robinson Cru
soe," was one of the early journalists,
his paper being called the Review.
Then there was Tutchin, whose weekly
publication, the Observer, cost, accord
ing to evidence he gave In court of
justice half a guinea to print, though
the typesetter eventually raised his
price to 20 shillings. The Observer had
a certified circulation of 266 copies.
Afterward there came the Grants,
Steele, Addison and Johnson, who
might have lived in the vicinity of
Grub street, but were court favorites
for all that.
The Times employed the first foreign
correspondent in the person of Henry
Crabb Robinson, and succeeded in
"scooping" the government itself in the
news Of the battle of Waterloo.

Cartoons Must Go,

Harrisburg, Pa, June 17.-Judge Simon
ton OF the county court to-day decided
that canteens for the sale of liquor to
soldiers cannot be carried on without a
license. Judge Simonton said that he did
not recognize such law when in conflict
with the law of the state; that the United
States had no authority to issue a license
to sell liquors In the states. He directed
the jury to find verdict of guilty and
then suspended sentence. At the same
time he notified all concerned that il there
were any more violations of the law he
would sentence them all The command
ant of the camp promised that the canteen
would be suppressed.

All eighth of the usual capacity. The

seven cents, for the season.
Usually at this time of year, 10 days be

are thousands of men, especially Ameri-

Richard Parks Bland was laid at rest
here to-day with honors BETTING his
illustrious career. The town was
crowded with thousands of his friends
who came to honor his memory. The
funeral services were participated in

was delivered by Rev. W. K. Col
Inns of the M. E. church and was fol-
lowed by the ritual of the Knights
Templar and the Masonic fraternities.
William J. Bryan had a seat on the
stage, but delivered no eulogy, owing to
Mrs. BANDS request that only minis
tiers take part in the services. The fu-
neral procession to the Catholic ceme-
terry was the longest and most impress
i've ever seen in Southwestern Missouri.
Tonight President Mckinley wired
