Senator Burrows said he was forced to

"And let me say, senators, that no SOON
er shall you have established the doctrine
contended for by the majority than there
will be popular uprising in this country
which no power can resist or suppress, to
take from state legislatures and COVER
nors all power to appoint senator's and
lodge it with the people,"
The definite intention OF republican
senators to seek to have the shipping SUBJ

London, April lO-It is known that in
addition to millions expended from Sep
tember to April, the British army will re-
ouire more than 6OOOO, 900 pounds during
the next l2 months, and that will not in
elude the transport from South Africa
back to England. All estimates for ships
horses, forage and food supplies appear
unduly heavy, and it is an open secret
that rates of contractors have been abnor
mally righ. Probably there has been nc
way out of it in the sudden emergency o.
war. but there is frank admission by mill
tary experts in and out of parliament that
England is paying too much for sea trans
port of freight, food stuffs, military stores
and forage, and that contractors are max
ing immense fortunes out OF the business
of war The market is stripped and trad
ers dictate their own terms and are raj
tening upon army rates.

One OF the women and the man had

not only the other two negroes, but
to this section OF the country. She
did not seem to know exactly where
she wanted to go, and after the ear
got short distance from Eden Park
she stopped It and wanted 20 alight.
She concluded, however, that that was
not the proper place to get off, ana re-
entered the car. The woman then be-
gan to berate the conductor because he
did not know where she wanted to 20.
This was kept up until the car was
finally stopped and she was put or.
After the woman had alighted the
second colOred woman took the mat
ter up and in a loud voice explained
the situation to the other passengers.
When Conductor Clough demanded her
fare after leaving Eden Park she re-
fused to pay it, saying that she had
paid once and would do so no more.
The man, who was riding in the bag

appearance and joined in the discus

comparatively small for this season Of
the year
Owing to the storm and cool weather
a number OF fishermen did not go out
at all during the day. and those that
put out their nets were not rewarded
by the catch of any great amount of
shad. The scarcity Of the fish has ad-
vanced the price to S21 per hundred,
