SI1CCEssFUL RATE REGULATION

Canadian officials have given the world
an entirely new demonstration Of how to
regulate railway rates. The White Pass
& Yukon railway connecting Skaguay with
White Horse is mostly in Canadian ter
ritory. According to figures made by
Canadian officials, the average rate
charged on this road was $40 for trans
porting 100 pounds from Skaguay to
White Horse. Concessions were made on
car load lots which brought the rate down
to $3.72 per 100 pounds.
The Canadian government insists on all
rates being submitted to the proper gov
eminent officials before being put in
force, White Pass & Yukon officials OBJ
jected to this rule on the ground that the
traffic over their road. was international
and not subject to the supervision of
either government. The Canadian Off
Gals prepared new schedule Of rates
for the Canadian portion of the road, but
the railway officials asserted their right
to charge "all that the traffic would
bear The difference, Of opinion between
the officials Of the government and the
officials of the road to to "what the traffic
would bear was great. After much con-
tention, the railway officials submitted to
the governments schedule, but there was
an intimation soon after that the road
would make up the difference on the
American end of the line. A gentle hint
from Ottnwa that if this was done the
government would reduce rates on the
Canadian end to the vanishing point,
satisfied the railway officials that they
had the real thing to contend with. The
governments ideas on what constitutes a
reasonable rate on traffic from Skaguay
to White Horse are accepted uncondi-
tionally, and for once In the history Of
transportation, a strenuous government
official has succeeded in debating the
charges on international traffic.

Then the brown nun put it in her bosom
and plucked a tiny flower and pressed It into

roster than her roses.
The flower was a heartsease.
The child played about the pale young man
a long time, unable to approach him. She
was jealous and dozen times was tempted
to throw the flower away. It was crushed,
withered and dirty.
Finally he sighed and rose to leave. Then
she pressed her hot little hand into his,
leaving the flower in his palm.
''She sent it. She said it was heartsease."
"Who sent it?"
"Her!'' She flung her head toward the
brown nun, then darted away.
And the pale young man looked at the
token, his face nushing as he murmured:
''She has sent me heartsease by the child.
Can it be she has forgiven?'
That night the lonesome little girl could
not sleep in her lonely bed. She looked long
ingly at the brown nuns garden under the
moonlight. Then she slipped over to the
gate, and the next moment the little brown
nun, the shadows in her eyes fled away before
great light, drew the motherless child in to
her bosom.

that one was in the presence of true poetic
fire and genius s-..
1t was perfectly evident that Kubelik was
like an unconscious child, who thought only
OF his music and of what it meant to him;
and when some entranced listeners began to
applaud him inopDcrtunely between two por-
tons of one of his numbers, he turned to his
accompanlst and stopped him until perfect
quiet was restored. 1t may be said that Ku-
beik Is young, that he is not yet possessed
of the elegance of Sauret or Sarasate, that
he will develop still further in his art. This
may be true, but his work has already the
ring of sincerity and truth. With the accu-
mutation of the sensuous elegancies that age
may give, will there not be lost the force of
the elemental power of naive genius now so

TRAIL OF THE BRAGGART

The soldier in the Philippines who de-

good deal of trouble. His letters get
into the newspapers and clippings are

Then the red tape begins to unwind and
investigations are made. In the course
of some months back come reports from

General Funston in the Philippines says
that he personally administered the cure

sent home regarding the outrages alleged
to have been perpetrated by Batson's Mac

them all to the wall in brief letter, in
which he shows that his scouts were well

Almost 4 Panic.

Almost Il Panic.
Feb. 28-By the narrowest margin panic
was averted last night in the Grand opera
house while 'In Old Kentucky" was being
played. AS it was, the audience in the family
circle rushed for the exits and fire escapes,
and some of them crowded out on the iron
platforms and ladders and began to descend.
They were assured that their fright was pre-
mature, and they returned to the theater.
Ten or twelve women tainted. They were
carried to the woner's parlor Of the theater
and, after reviving, sent home in carriages.
The fire was not in the theater proper
at ALL 1t was in the cloakrOom attached to
the lodge rooms on the third floor of Grand
opera-house building. and was caused, it is
believed, by defective electric light wires.
Those who sat in the family circle were first
alarmed because they were near the lodge
rooms and heard the shouts and uproar in
that part of the building. Those in the par
quet and orchestra became panicby when they
heard the excitement and scuft1ing above
The fire was speedily put out. The police
estimated the damage at $780,. No one was in
jured. .....~ -

It Is little difficult to place proper esti-
mate upon the work of the little Bohemian
who stepped before Minneapolis audience
for the first time last evening. There are so
many things to take into consideration in
passing Judgment upon so unique and merito-
rous a performance 1t was easily under
stood, to begin with. that in the
presence of person endowed with marvellous
gifts, and gifts that have been cultivated as
siduously The first stray notes waited from
the wonderful violin during the process Of
tuning, gave evidence not only of the power
Of the performer, but the quality of the in
strument he played. s-..
When he stepped forward to commence the
Paganini concerto in D major, the curiosity
of the audience deeDened into a feeling of
amazement. Was it possible that this slight
boy, effeminate In appearance and manner,
could be the master of all those amazing diff
culties in violin technique which had placed
him in the very forefront of the fddlers Of
the world? When the mysterious composition
came leaping from the strings, the amaze
ment and interest deepened. The whole range
of technical difficulties wrought out by that
mysterious wizard of the past seemed as play
to the boy. Octaves, pizzicati, runs, tIills
cadences, and the most brilliant nuances fol-
lowed in quick succession Double stopping
was simple fun, the arpeggios, spiccato and
staccato playing were mere incidents In the
playing of the lad. 1t is no wonder that a.
believer IN the doctrine of transmigration Of
souls exclaimed on hearing him. 1T is the
soul of Paganini!'
The real wonder of it all lies in the fact
that one SO young and so delicate in appear
ance should possess the breadth of bowling,
the sorority and ravishing qualities of tone,
which this boy Kubelik possesses. Never be-
fore, in this city at least, has there been
manifest a more beautiful breadth of tone,
or more delicacy and spirituality of interpre-
tation. The first impression of the violinist
was that he was an Indian, with his straight,
coal-black hair, his straight 4, figure, his
swarthy complexion, and his small yet brill
liant eyes, that seemed to see and observe
everything. The next impression was that he
possessed not only the marked physical char
acteristics of his race. but also its reserve
power, force and passion. After this, all i'm
