Frances Move in Turkish Waters
Causes Speculation on Continent.
London, NOV. g.. Frances bold move
in Turkish waters rivets the attention of
the British navy, and, tho the possibility
of war was regarded as remote, monopo-
Lies the minds of the men who would
have TO bear the brunt of the struggle
should it come. Fresh comparisons of the
sea strength of the various European
powers are common in the naval clubs
OF London. Grizzled admirals of long
experience are renewing their youth in
the atmosphere of promised strife.
Nine out Of ten British naval officers
view every move of the leading conti-
mental nations with suspicion and would
welcome an opportunity to square ac-
counts on the score of South Africa. A
correspondent interviewed one of the
most prominent men of the British navy,
who said:
IF not now, before great while, in
my opinion. Britains naval supremacy
will be put to the test. Every great con-
tinentai power hates us. Not one of
them attempts to conceal the fact. l can
not say that we reciprocate the feeling,
but we stand ready to take whatever
measures are necessary to protect the
interests of the empire and vindicate the
imperial honor.
Russia, Germany and France are
scratching one another's backs and
would deal blow with unmiXed Joy IL
they dared take the risk. France and
Russia are working hand in hand in the
Leyant while Germany's views the stu
alton with complacent sympathy. AS the
world stands Germany finds itself
blocked and would regard a violent dis
turbance of existing political spheres as
promising the fatherland a chance of
arge profit.

THE LAW VIOLATED.
Railroads Admit That Rules of Inter-
state Commissioners Are Not Ad.


Chicago Nov. 9.-Evidence of the
fragrant violations of the interstate
commerce and the antitrust laws by
railroads east and west Of Chiacgo was
adduced at the session of the interstate
commerce commission. Traffic manag-
ers after lines in the Central Freight
Association and the western trunk line
committee admitted that export rates
on grain and grain products are con-
stantly cut, and that officials of the
road meet at periods and agree upon
rates which are then promulgated by
the individual lines interested. The
principal witness of the day was Traffic
Manager George J. Grammar of the
Lake Shore road. and his recitation of
the conditions of affairs relative to
grain. eastbound, aroused the deepest
interest of the commission.
In the opinion Of the commission, the
condition shown by the evidence is the
strongest argument that could be adj
duced for the passage of a bill by con-
gress giving the commission the power
to make rates, after thorough inves-
tigation upon complaint, and also the
power to punish vIolators Of the COM
MISSIONS rulings.
Traffic Manager Grammar. under ex-
animation by Commissioner Prouty, ad-
mitted that the export rates on grain
and grain products were constantly cut;
that the tariffs were seldom main
tanned that the export rates We're al
ways secret; that little grain had been
moving az domestic grain; that an as
ISOLATION existed the members Of which
met at regular periods and In violation
of the antitrust law agreed upon rates
and percentages and kept record of
the same. When asked why the roads
did not publish their export rates the
same az domestic rates, he replied that
If they did the press Of the country
would charge that the railroads were
favoring foreign countries and foreign
markets at the expense of the home
markets and home producers.

Yuan Shi kai. who succeeds LII Hung

He was made minister to Korea, and

astonishing rapidity and the disease

Heretofore the public as well as the

to prevent this terrible disease, but now

WASHINGTON. NOV. 9.-Presidept
Rooseyelts sister, Mrs. Cowles, Wife of
Commander William $. Cowles Of the
navy. is uncertain whether she has
been robbed of diamond brooch valued
at $1,000 or whether the jewel was lost.
At any rate it has disappeared, and the
aid OF the Washington police has been
enlisted to secure its recovery.
The brooch was last seen on Oct, -,
when Mrs. Cowles was visiting a rela-
tive at Pennington. Conn. The presi-
dents sister returned here on Oct. 81,
and two days later discovered her loss.
Mrs. Cowles is unable to say whether
the jewel disappeared after her return
to this city. whether she lost 1t, or was
robbed at Pennington, or whether the
brooch was lost or stolen in New York
city, Patterson or Orange, y. j., all OF
which places she visited.
The jewel may have been lost on the
train while en- route. There is consid-
cradle uncertainty about this. however.
and this is what is causing trouble for
the police.
Altho Mrs. Cowles attempted to con-
ceal the fact that she had lost a valua-
bic jewel ii became public Thursday.
and it is nov admitted that detective
