PASSENGER RATE WAR.
Announcement of the Rock Island
 Road Causes Comment.

Chicago, April S.-The announcement of the Rock Island Railroad Company that 1t will run cheap excursions between Chi cago and Colorado points during the summer has stirred up competiting lines to the fighting point. Unless compro- mise is effected bitter war on passen- ger rates in the west may be the result. The Burlington today announced that-it would run the cheap excursion daily in stead of once a week, as determined by the Rock Island. The Burlington claims that 90 De- cent of the Colorado business last summer was done on the cheap ex- cur,sion tickets then in effect. thus con centrating the traffic on the days on which the low rates were available, while comparatively empty trains were run on other days. For this reason the Burling- ton ihas decided to make rates of $25 from Chicago; $21 from St. Louis, and $15 from Missouri river points for the round trip to Denver. Colorado Springs and Pueblo, to be in effect daily from July to and from September 1 to 10 inclusive, with final return limits of October 31. The round trip rate to Utah points is to be $10 higher.
 In addition 1t Is proposed to make rates of one fare plus g for the round trip to Colorado and Utah common points from June IS to 30. and from July to August s1, with return limit of 30 days from date of sale, except that tickets sold on home seekers excursion dates shall have re- turn limits of October 31.
 The Rock Island people say they will meet whatever rates the Burlington may make.

Havana, April S.-An effort is being made to bring out the conservative cle- ment at the coming municipal elections. With this end in view several changes have been made In the election law.

BLOW TO RUSSIA
 IS A SEVERE ONE
There is Little Doubt But That She Will Renew the
 Struggle

London, April 8.--In a dispatch to the Times from Pekin, dated Sun'ay Dr. Morrison comments upon the blow to Russian prestige in China resulting from the check to Russia's ambitions regarding Manchuria This blow is all the more severe" he says, because Japan. whom the Russians have affected to treat with the utmost contempt, has had the largest share in dealing it.
 There Is little doubt that Russia will renew the struggle in some shape. It is a remarkable outburst of popular feeling which has thus enabled China to with stand Russia. All the appeals against the convention concerning Manchuria were addressed to the Emperor. It Is there fore difficult to believe that the Empress Dowager has not been affected by the defeat of the policy of which her hench- man, u Hung Chang, is the sturdiest ex- ponent.
 '"The Emperor has summoned the presi- dent of the board of revenue from Pekln to prepare for the removal of the court Probably this only means a removal to Kai Fong, in the province Of Ho Nan, which would bring the court Into closer contact with the Yang Tse viceroys.'

Mobile, April s-(speciai) )-Reports from Bayminette, near here. on the line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in Baldwin County, tell of case of at tempted arson and the probable lynching of two negroes, who are now surrounded in swamp near Hurricane Bayou.
 It appears that about 10 o'clock Satur- day night the negroes were discovered attempting to set fire to large store at Bayminette; they made off, the fire was extinguished and a chase was made after the negroes by an armed posse. A long distance telephone message to the local police asked that they watch for the me- groes, who were headed towards Mobile. officers went to the northern limits of the city and kept watch.

Railroad Talk.

Cleveland. Ohio, April S.-The Leader tomorrow will print story in effect as follows
 ''The recent effort of the Pennsylvania Railroad,to obtain control of the Wheel ing and Lake Erie by buying heavily of the stock in the open market brings out the fact that the controlling interest in the property Is owned conjointly by Geo. Gould and Col. Myron T. Herrick. This makes the Wheeling and Lake Erie an essential part of the Wabash system, as- suring it an entrance into Pittsburg and money enough to build the much-talked of extension into the West Virginia coal fields. It Is also known that the Wheel ing and Lake Erie Is to be a part of the Southwestern system of the Goulds, being an extension of the Wabash and feeder from the coal fields which 1t traverses, and the Pittsburg steel mills for all of the Southwestern lines which Gould controls.

 "It is probable that the chief role will fall to the United States. especially when the Nicaragua canal has been cut. China will then, for economic purposes. become an American colony.

FUNNY INCIDENT.
Mrs. Potter Palmer Votes for Her
 Son, Honore, In Council.

Chicago April S.-The new city admin istration headed by Mayor Carter Har- City Council Chamber tonight. A pie turesque feature of the gathering was the presence of Mrs. Potter Palmer with a coterie of society people, who came to see her son, Honore Palmer, alderman from the Twenty-first ward, sworn in as a city official.
 When the time came for Alderman Pal mer to poll his vote he was so busy ex- plaining the "doings'' to a young woman that he forgot to vote and the audience laughed and applauded
 Reading Clerk McCaffery caught him unawares the second time also, but his mother, who was listening, evidently knew how her son should vote, for she uttered an involuntary aye" and the vote was Jounted before the listeners realized the situation.
