public its thirteenth annual report. The
feature is the strong plea that congress
uphold the hands of the commission BY
amendments making interstate commerce
law more effective, The report says the
commission a year ago called attention
TO the fact that in several respects the
present law proved defective and made
quate and that until further legislation
is provided the best efforts at regulation
must be feeble and Disappointing The
requests for ueedful amendments have
been supported by petitions and memo
rails from agricultural and manufacturing
interests throughout the country vel,
says the report not line Of the statute
has been changed and none Of the bur
densome conditions which call for relief
have been removed or modified The-rxist-
lug situation and the developments for
the past year il Is added render more
imperative than ever before the neces
sity Tor speedy and suitable legislation.
Nineteen of the people know that any

N fact, rain attended us on our visits to
many famous places. We saw the Pas

battlefield Of Waterloo in one OF the

could boil eggs in the crater, hut we
didn't DO it. We brought home bits of
lava, ana pieces of pure sulphur, thrown
out from the crater

In Germany we saw real .Jahr-
markt, in one of the little villages that
we visited.
The Passion Play.
But perhaps the browning feature of
the whole trip was the Passion Play,
which, as said. we witnessed in a
rainstorm. The auditorium is covered
this year for the first time. hut the stage
is open to the sky. The play began at
= o'clock in Che morning, the first part
ending at noon. 1t begins again ut half
past !. and ends at half-past > or 6
. clock. The story of the passion and
death of Christ is told most effectively
and solemnly, and the actors seem to en-
ter into its spirit and enact their parts
with perfect reverence, so that there is
nothing to offend the most religious. 1t
is a most beautiful scene the sky form
ing the roof over the stage, and the Ba-
varian Alps for background. We came
TO Oherammergau in the evening, and
went out for stroll about the little
town. The streets were dark aud lily
lighted. and we lost our way We met Il
tall young girl, and inquired of her the
way. and she walked along with us. and
we talked of the play that we were "a
see on the morrow. Then she told us
that she was the Martha of the play
She was the only one of the actors that
we saw of the stage. Mary, it seemed
to me, did ROT fully enter into the spirit
of the part she took. but Anton Lang
made q grand ChristuS, and Johann
| Twink. who played Judas, is one of the
| finest actors ! have ever seen. His inter
| probation of the part was n masterpiece
of character acting.
The incidents of the play proper are
| interSperSed with magnificent tahleauX
representing scenes from the Old Tesla
ment, and accompanied by a chorus OF
thirty-tive SchutgeiSter or Guardian An
gels. The coStuming in the tableauX
and, indeed, throughout the play. was
magnificent and historical. "--EvcninE

Progress of French Reorganization.

The French minister Of marine lately
caused to be published series of official
documents which reveal the steps that
are being taken, from the minister down,
to place the navy of France upon more,
formidable footing. The budget stats.
tics show that the annual increase for
the last ten years in expenditure on the.
navy has been 1O,0aO,000 francs The.
admission is made that this rate of in

addition to the permanent general ex-

cessity of steadily accommodating nnvap
stores is likely to prove source of fur

Not since the stones were first set in

GOLD BARS wEsE WORTHLESS.
Englishmen Have Narrow Escape from
American SwindIers.

American Swind1ers.
Sir Frederick G. Vigoe and I. ID. q.
Drayton, British capitalists, sailed for
England the other day after having had
narrow escape from being separated
from their money by a pair Of shrewd
swindlers. The Englishmen came 10
America several weeks ago to purchase
gold mine advertised for sale by X. u.
Miller and William Schroeder. Negotia-
tons ,were almost completed when the
prospective investors became suspicious
and frightened the alleged mine owners
into disappearance. Wine suppers ana
entertainments costing about 5000 were
wasted on the willy Britons. They went
TO Chicago with Miller and Schroeder ana
were taken to the Metropole. After see
ing the city thoroughly they asked Cor a
look at the samples from the mine SIX
gold bars were then taken from box III
the Merchants Loan and Trust Com
pany's vaults, and borings were made,
showing that they were 16 per cent pure
gold. Schroeder and Drayton then start
ed for Golden City, Colo, while Miller
and Sir Frederick remained behind.
Forged kilograms signed with the iatter's
name and urging the closing Of the deal
met DraytOn by the score at Denver and
aroused his suspicious. The transaction
was declared off Miller and Schroeder
disappeared. An assay Of the gold bars
was mad, and it was discovered that
they were composed of worthless alloy.
