The Czarina of Russia, who is reported
to be seriously, though not dangerously,
i'll, is 80 years old and the mother of four
children, all of them daughters. She was
formerly the Princess Alexandra Alix,
daughter of Ludwig ~, Grand Duke of
Hesse, and she was married to the Gear
in November, 1894, few weeks after the
death of his father, the late Alexander
III. On her removal to Russia the Ger
man princess assumed the name Of Alex
andra Feodorovna. 1t is said that she
has had a remarkable influence on the
life and policy of the young emperor, and
it is said also that the gravity of her po-
sition has had a very saddening influence
on her disposition.

do it, too, if, in his Judgment such a

OVER 100000 MILES OF RAIL.
Constant Growth of the United States
Railway Mileage.

Constant Growth of the United States
Railway Mileage.
The railway mileage Of the United
States has passed the 100000 mile mark.
The figures at the close Of 1901 were APP
proximately 199,525 miles, and the con-
struction for the first six months of 1907
brings the total up to POI, S39 miles, the
track laid during the first half Of this
year on 155 lines aggregating 2,314 miles
This is nearly 500 miles in excess Of the
new mileage for the first six months Of
1901, when 1877 miles were built. The
total for the twelve months last year
was 5000 miles, and if the same ratio Is
maintained this year it will readily be
seen that the construction for 1902 will
easily exceed 5000 miles. Tracklaying
thus far this year has been distributed
throughout forty-one States and Terri
tories, the following States reporting no
new mileage, although lines are under
construction in all Of these with the eX-
ception Of two or three New England
States: New Hampshire, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware,
Wyoming, Nevada and Idaho.
Texas shows the largest new mileage
with 236 miles. Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory are tied for second place,
fourth with 100 miles. Other States
showing 100 miles or over are: Arkan-
sas, 1876 miles; Georgia, 125; Louisiana,
102, and Illinois, 100, Florida being near
the 100 mile mark with 81 to her credit.

STONE MAY END STRIKE.
Pennsylvania Governor Decides to
Call the LEGISLATURE.

pennsylvania Governor Decides to
Call the Legislature.
Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania announced
Thursday that the coal strike shall be
ended. He declared that he would call
the Legislature to enact a compulsory
arbitration law. He said
"a law that would settle labor disputes
between employer and employe must Of
necessity be a compulsory arbitration law
and the law must be final and conclusive.
This law must be drafted for the protec-
ton of society and must not be drawn in
the interest of employer or Of employe.
Experience teaches tna+- strikes en-
danger life and property. Whenever .sfe
and property are in jeopardy society is
menaced. Therefore, legislation should
be considered and drawn for the protec-
ton Of life and property as a public regu-
Iation, benefting the public and protecting
society.

In the anthracite coal regions the general
public suffers, and, in fact, the whole
country suffers, as we'll as the employer

rights for the benefit of society and the

be settled promptly and effectively. The

BROOKLYN HITS ROCK.
Strikes Uncharted Obstruction Dur
ing Sham Warfare.

The United States cruiser Brooklyn, the
flagship of Rear Admiral Coghlan struck
a hidden rock in Buzzard's bay and sus-
tanned serious damage. The vessel is Of
larger size than most boats which enter
those waters without Il local pilot, but the
officers state that the rock upon when
the vessel struck is unCharted.
The Brooklyn, together with three other
vessels. the Olympia, Puritan and May
flower. made an attack on Fort Rodnan
In the pursuance of the plans of the naval
maneuyers, but was repulsed. The de-
lenses of the eastern approach to New
Bedford replied to the attacking squadron
with a hot fire, and after couple OF
hours the vessels drew off to reJoin the
main squadron. AS they crossed Buz-
yards bay and when they were just OPP
posite Dumping lighthouse the Brooklyn
which was steaming slowly, stopped dead,
listed to starboard and began to settle.
The discipline on the cruiser was per-
feet. Scarcely had the shock been real
lied when the sailors and marines spranS
to Stations" the orders for the Closing
of the compartment were given and fol-
lowed out and the matches closed without
a hitch or a moments delay. No Signs
of perturbation were to be seen.
The cruiser held on the rock but few
seconds, when she began to slide of. II
was found that she was not making much
water and by the use Of pumps was en-
abled to steam to an anchorage.

ENGLAND'S GREAT MAN.
Lord Kitchener Looked Upon az a
Modern Ulysses.

Lord Kitchener Looked Upon az a
Modern Ulysses.
Lord Herbert Kitchener, the man who
was at the head of the British army
when the Boer war came to an end, is
regarded by many as the strongest man
in England. Kitchener comes back to
London with the British public still feel
Ing that it is in his debt. There has been
considerable dissatisfaction over the fact
that instead of a half-million being voted
to him by Parliament he received but
half that sum, and that instead of an
earldom, such as was bestowed upon Lord
Roberts, he was given beggarly Wis
countcy and raise in rank from that of
lieutenant general to that of general.
The last-named is a big advancement
as far as material benefit is concerned,
the difference in pay being the raise from
$27 to $50 a day. However, Kitchener
has looked the matter in the face with
great equanimity, knowing that with the
public dissatisfied with his reward delay
would only make it greater.
Herbert Kitchener is a man who has

ST. LOUIS BIG SCANDAL.
Bood1ing City Officials Had an Oath

st. Louis appears at last to have got to
the bottom of its celebrated doodle"
scandal. The person who acted as 'busi-
ness agent for the corruptionists in the
municipal assembly has told what he
knows to a grand jury. The business
agent" asserts that eighteen members of
the municipal assembly made it a bust

which desired an important ordinance
simply informed the business agent"
placed a large sum of money in a safety
deposit vault and gave the agent the key
to the vault. I'VE did not look upon
what we did as a serious crime" says
the agent, "as it had gone on so long
without interruption that it was not re-
garded by those who participated in it
as morally wrong"
Eighteen members of the gang in the
house of delegates have been indicted as
n result of confession by the business
agent of the grating combine, j. X.
