Russian railroad Doe. Not Pay,

The Russian government is much
concerned at the working of the
Jaroslav-Arcbangel railway, from
which much was expected in the way
of opening out the northern parts of
the empire, says ST. Petersburg cor
respondent. The railway has been in
operation for some years, and the en-
tire traffic consists of one train every
"a hours, which is a combination of
passenger, post and goods trains, and
this one train is generally half emp
ty. The steamers on the Murman
make their regular trips almost emp
ty of passengers or cargo.

DoWIE CRITICISED.
Attorney Reeves Gives "EIiIah, the
 Prophet" a Tongue Drubbing.

Chicago, December H.-"Dr." Alexander Dowie's business methods were severe ly criticised by Attorney Reeves in Judge Tulley's court today when the closing ar gument in the suit for receivership of the Zion lace industries was begun. His business rule was likened unto that of a king who tells his underlings what he wants done and then demands of them hearty approval. His control over his associates was typical as club lowering over ones head.
 Attorney Reeves entered general plea for all the small investors in the Zion lace industries and said that the court should not recognize that the in- terests of Samuel Stevenson Dowie's brother-in-law and legal adversary and of "Dr." Dowie were the only equities at stake, but should consider all the numerous small shareholders in the con- cern, many of whom had invested their all in the, institution.
 The attorney drew picture of how Dowie had discovered Stevenson in Eng land, a prosperous merchant of relig- ious turn of mind and how by some subtle influence had induced him to part with everything to embark with him here in business Attorney Packard for rDr" Dowie, announced to the court that Stevenson probably could get $5O,0W Of the amount he claimed from Dowie If he would make demand of the return or cash for shares Mrs. Stevenson held in the institution at the time of her death.

SOUTHERN ATHLETES MEET.
Annual Convention Is In Session at
 Chapel Hill, N. c.

Chapel Hil1 N C., December H.-The annual convention of the Inter- Collegiate Athletic Association was in session at the University of North Carolina this aft and tonight. The charges of violation of the rules of the association were made against the athletic associa- tions of some of the institutions repre- sented were referred to the executive committee. The committee recommended that the charge against the Georgia School of Technology and the University of Nashville be withdrawn; also that Sewanee and Vanderbilt Universities be re-admitted to membership in the asso- citation. The recommendation was adopt ed.
 In regard to controversy between the athletic associations of Tulant University and the University of Louisiana no action was taken.
 Several changes in the constitution of the Southern Intercollegiate Association were made. The most prominent matter before the convention seems to be the arrangement of provisions to 5revent pro- fessionalism in college athletics, and among the colleges and universities rep resented are the University of Georgia. Tennessee. Texas, Louisiana, and North Carolina, Mercer. Tulane. Sewanee Van derbilt and Nashville Universities, Geor- gia and Alabama Polytechnic Institutes, Cumberland and Clemson Colleges.
 The delegates are for the mos. part from the universities of these institutions and the convention is more largely att tended than ever before, showing an in- creased interest in college athletics.

JOHN BROWN PAPERS.
Letters From Brown and the Prisoners
 Will Be Printed.

Richmond, Va, December H.-The Rich mond papers will tomorrow print what are known as recently discovered John Brown papers," which were found in lot of rubbish in the state library. They are of two classes, letters to Brown and his fellow prisoners and letters from the prisoners to persons throughout the coun- try. The prisoners. it is supposed, never saw the letters sent to them, and the letters written by them were never mail ed. Those to Brown and his associates are for the most signed with initials only, and no prominent persons can be iden- tified with them. They are largely from correspondents in New England. Ohio and Indiana. Two letters to Brown from his sister, Elizabeth, are both poetic and pathetic. and 1t is evident she had no conception of the fate that was in store for him. From marks on all. it is shown that they were inspected by Andrew Hunter of the prosecution or Governor Wise. What value there Is in the letters to the prisoners, if any lies in their showing the widespread sympathy throughout the north with John Browns desperate venture. Search is now being made for a carpet bag of Browns said to be hidden in the roof of the capitol building, and to contain his diary and some of his documents.

TIME EXTENDED.
Railroads Do Not Like the New Law
 LaId Down In Texas.

Austin. Tex, December 21.-The Texas railroad commission has extended the time until January 21, 1902, in which Texas railroads must comply with the commissioners orders requiring all state lines to ignore their state line connection and operate trains from starting and functions points on schedule time. It is claimed that this order, if enforced. will in many cases lay out Eastern mail and passengers at several state line points from to IS hours in the event that con- nections are over 30 minutes late. It will also require railroads to keep a reserve train and crew at all connecting points to be used in case of delayed connection. Two of the roads are threatening to seek federal interference to force the commis- sioners to abolish their order, claiming that the order is unjust and is an inter ference with interstate commerce. and an unnecessary delay and also an interference with the handling of the United States mail.

President Roosevelt is opposed to fur ther agitation in the Schley-Sampson wrangle, and Historian" Maclays resig- nation was called for by executive order.

Secretary Roots publication of the Maclay letter is explained by the fact that he left the White House some time after Secretary Long had been there, and thus was in a position to carry out the Presidents lat est wishes.
