railroads and the people have been so
harmonious that for the past six months
not a single complaint has been re-

they therefore prepared. and. by enforc-

bill doing away with the board Of rail-
roads commissioners and substituting
therefor a court Of visitation" The
bill was SO outrageous in Its character
that no one has yet been found to own
IL as Of his creation. The worst feature
of the law is that IL invites frivolous
and malicious complaints against the
railroads by a provision that the state
will pay all costs In case the complain

The 81. Petersburg correspondent of the
London Times writes that the car mas
issued a circular TO the powers embody-
ing a programme to be considered at the
proposed conference on the limitation OF
ornaments. in which the suggested bases
OF discussion are given with great detail.
He cites for example, the prohibition OF
employment of new inventions. OF the
use of explosives. submarine vessels and
the practice of ramming vessels. The
programme also proposes discussion OF
the avoidance OF war by recourse to ar
bltration whenever possible. 1t Is not
unlikely that France with her new rapid
fire cannon aud submarine boat. and Ger
many with her new batteries Of rapid
fire cannon. win want the clause In regard
10 new inventions eliminated from the
discussion. That the car is deeply In
earnest Is certain. and 1t is to be hoped
that much good VIII result from the con-
ference. No doubt months OF negotia-
tions and diplomatic correspondence will
be required To reach even a modified
agreement as to the limitation OF armies
and ornaments. but the time will be well
spent If the dawn OF the twentieth CEN
fury ushers In a more complete and
friendly understanding between the ma
