proceeding TO the cathedral to attend
n re Deum i'm memory OF the late
Queen Marie IIenriette.

rescuing him from the hands Of the
crowd. He gave the name of Rubino.

Leopold H.. king of Belgium. is
known throughout Europe as the
royal reprObate." lie succeeded his
father in 1863. and has been in turns

Victoria. and is the father of the Prin-
cess Stephanie. the remarked widow
of the late Prince Rudolph of Austria.
The old king advocated the franchise
for his subjects several years ago. and

his realm.

ROADS CHoKED ny PROSPERITY.
All Over the Country the Railroads
Are Blocked With Business.

United efforts of the railroad officials
and the large car companies to relieve
the freight congestion in the large
cities throughout the country have
proven frutless, and prosperity has the
various lines choked with traffic.
For 30 miles or more outside of the
city of Pittsburg the side tracks are
crowded with laden cars waiting for
shipment, while many cars of perish
able products are going to loss on ac-
count of non-delivery
Chicago is experiencing the worst
congestion of freight traffic In its his
tory, except in times of a widespread
strike This condition, say railroad Of
ficials, is well nigh universal through
out the country.
The railroads are now handling the
greatest merchandise movement in
their history. soft coal movement
larger than ever known in any former
years. which has begun to move freely
ahead of time.
The crops Of the middle west and
northwest are above the average. and
these alone are sufficient to produce a
congestion for months to come.
To add to other troubles. there Is a
great shortage in rolling stock.
1t is estimated by conservative traf-
fic men that the demand for cars to
move the traffic which is now being Of
fered for transportation is fully 10000
in excess of the supply.

Mitchell Under Fire.

President Mitchell, of the Minework-
ers' Union. occupied the witness stand
throughout both sessions of the coal
strike commission Saturday. For four
hours and half he took the cross fire
of two of the brilliant attorneys of
the coal companies and ended the day
with few scars as result Of the battle.
David Wilcox. of New York. general
counsel for the Delaware & Hudson
Co. and Wayne MacNeagh. of Phila-
delphia, who is representing the Penn
sylvania Coal Co. and the Hillside Coal
& Iron Co.. were the personal question
ers and they put hundreds of questions
to Mr. Mitchell The members of the
commission frequently interrupted
with questions.
During Mr. Mitchelrs examination
by Mr.. Wilcox the fact was brought
out that if the increase in wages was
granted it would increase the expenses
of the companies about S12OOO,OOO a
year. In regard to child labor, Mr..
Mitchell said he was in favor of state
law which would make the minimum
age for a boy TO 20 to work at the
collieries II years instead of -. He
regarded az living wages for miner
not less than $500 year. aud that in
creased cost of coal was no concern

ANDREWS IN JACKSON.
A Model of Goodness and Propriety.

Frank c. Andrews. Detroit's ex-
millionaire, ex-banker ex-politician.
ex-commissioner Of police, has gone to
jackson prison and is No. 1I43. After
a wearisome struggle to obtain bonds
aggregating 100000 he finally gave
up and has gone TO the penetentiary
where, unless new trial is granted
him, he has entered on service of ID
years. Andrews maintained his calm
exterior to the last Mrs. Andrews

selves his friends was at the train to
see him off and that man was Will Al

The magnificent pose of Andrews is

prison officials, accustomed as they are

but simply manly determination to

This noon Andrews joined his com

plain fare. While his appetite was not
as keen, perhaps. as that of the men
who had been engaged at hard work
during the day. yet the inward re-
pugnance which he must have felt was
not visible. Warden Vincent had a
short talk with Andrews this morning
during which the latter expressed his
intention of obeying the rules and Of

from start TO finish. The field was in
such condition that both teams showed
their best work.
The western football championship
Will be fought out in Detroit on
thanksgiving day. Saturdays results
at Chicago and Minneapolis decided
this. Michigan has defeated Wiscon-
sin and Chicago. and Minnesota the
only contender. and Michigans last OPP
ponent of 1902. has now beaten Wis
consin. In the event OF Michigan's VIC
tory over Minnesota the western
championship goes to Ann Arbor. On
the same day Chicago meets Wiscon-
sin. and should she win she would.
with Minnesota defeated, probably
claim second place, her victory over
Wisconsin putting her on a par in one
sense, while the fact that Minnesota
had been twice defeated. once by Ne
braska, would be argued against any
claim OF tie for second. Minnesota,
however. II victorious here, will be con-
coded the championship. Chicago, If
defeated, will drop to fourth place.
Minnesota's record against Wiscon-
sin Is better, in the matter of points,
than. that made by Michigan. Wiscon-
sin. however, was a weakened team,
trained for the Michigan game. She
had passed her best point, and was, in
addition. minus Juneau, her captain.
and admittedly the star individual per-
former of the Michigan-Wisconsin
game.
The scores bearing on the champion
ship race are: Michigan &, Wisconsin
