4 BOLD STAND TAKEN.
ST. Paul Official Declares Live Stock
Rates Too Low.

Chicago, Nov. Ga. c. Bird, third
vice president of the St. Paul road.
took bold stand before the interstate
commerce to-day when that body be-
gan an investigation into rates on cat
tie and packing house products between
Chicago and the Missouri river. Mr..
Bird was the first witness of import
ance before the commission, and when
asked if ne desired 10 defend the rea-
j soma bleness of the st. PauIs livestock
rates he declared that they were not
reasonable.
Not only are our livestock rates
unreasonable he declared, but all our
freight rates to-day are unreasonable,
because they are entirely too low to
compensate for the service rendered.
All freight rates should be raised, and
am surprised that the railroads don't
make a combined effort and raise
them"
The witness stated that it was un-
fair to take the past two years as a
basis from which to judge the fairness
of rates and the fairness of the remu-
neration derived by the railroads, for
during that period the volume of traffic
had greatly increased, whereas before
that period railroading had not. as a
! general proposition, been remunerative.
With respect to cattle rates, Mr.. Bird
asserted that cattle did not now, and
had not for years, paid their just pro-
portion of transportation, and that to
further reduce the rates on cattle would
be to make a bad situation worse.
When asked what governed the scien-
tifc making of rates he replied that he
had not seen the time in twenty-five
years when rates could be made on a
scientific basis. On the contrary, rates
are always based on competition, COM
parison and compromise.
The inquiry is at the instigation Of
the Chicago Live Stock exchange. which
claims that the lower rate on packing
house products that exists between
Chicago and Missouri river points, rel
against the Chicago market Under
prevailing rates. packers can better af-
ford to convert the live stock into
packing-house products at Missouri
river points than at Chicago. While
on the stand Mr.. Bird explained that
he had always deemed it wise policy
to make as low a rate on the raw ma
terial as on the finished products, but
that when rate on the latter. which
was not remunerative. was forced upon
the roads, he did not believe in also
forcing down the livestock rates to
maintain the relations

COCAINE AMONG NEGROES.

1t has been learned that cocaine as
well as whisky was peddled by the
whisky pirate ship Hazel whose skip
per, Capt Hull, was recently arrested
on the Mississippi river, charged with
shooting the sheriff and other citizens
of Chicot county, Ark. In his de-
Tense, Hull explains that he did not in
troduce cocaine among the negroes of
the Yazoo Delta, but merely did what

roustabouts of New Orleans, who found
that the drug enabled them to perform
more easily the extraordinarily severe

at stretch, they have to work without
sleep or rest in rain, in cold and in heat,
The pay is high, $3.50 a month but the

against the rain and cold did not give
him the endurance against fatigue that
was needed. Cocaine proved to be the

N. f. CHURCH EXTENSION.
General Committee Considers Appor-
ttonnlent of Funds.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-The general
committee of church extension of the
Methodist Episcopal church, in session
here to-day, began consideration of the
anDortionment of funds to be asked
from each conference to make up the
$3.50, 900 which will be used next year
for church extension. A portion of the
session was devoted to a discussion of
the question of exempting certain
churches from the law of the board Of
church extension, which specifies that
no donation shall albe made to any
church the maintenance of which has
cost $4,000 or over. Exceptions were
made in seven instances, the churches
exempted being regarded as especially
deserving. They are: Aldwin church,
Kansas; Brewer church, Maine; Broad
way church, Council Bluffs, Iowa; Cen
trail church, Sacramento. Cal; Han
seom Park church, Omaha, Neb
Washington Park church, Providence,
r. l., and the University church, Los
Angeles, Cal
The entire afternoon session was de-
voted to the apportionment for next
year New York, 1856 pastoral charges,
was asked to contribute $4,000. an in
crease of $4,000 over the amount asked
last year. Erie, with 446 charges and
Michigan with $50, are each asked for
Sc. 800. Other conferences were taxes as
follows: Georgia 1925, Mobile $3.50, Mis-
sissippi 1925, Alabama $3.50, Alaska $3.50.
The apportionment was not completed
at the hour of adjournment.

SANDER, as everybody knows. If the

self nowhere so soon as in the sartorial
habits of the populace. There is no
safer standard of judgment than dress.
Great criminals have always taken the
first false step in this direction. In
nothing is the advance of the United
States to be the greatest power in the
world more conspicuous, indeed, than in
the general elevation of sartorial taste.
Well-to-do Americans do not as rule
dress in the evening, forsooth! If they
do not, who do?

would have to admit that American wo-
men are the envy of all spectators; like

against the people of this country. The
only other explanation is that she has a

very stimulant needed. Under its in
fiuence the strength and vigor Of the
labOrer is temporarily increased, and

of heat and cold. But the cocaine is
filling the insane asyIums with

From the roustabouts the cocaine

the Mississippi. where the work is hard,
and the conditions of life and work I'M
favorable. Finally it reached the
plantation hand and here it got the
same fOothold. While. the work on the
cotton plantation is not so hard as
I levee building or loading steamboats,,
still as the cotton picking season it calls
for extraordinarily long hours. AS
there is never enough labor to pick all
the cotton it is to the interest of the
| planters to have the negroes work as
much extra time as possible. The
planters therefore hold out every en-
couragement to the negro hands to put
! in a big days work. The negroes
found that the drug enabled them to
work longer and make more money and
/ so they took ii.
Its use has grown steadily. On
many of the Yazoo plantations this
year negroes refused to work unless
they could be assured that there was
| some place in the neighborho0d where
| they could get cocaine, and one big
| planter is reported to keep the drug in
| stock among the plantation supplies
! and to issue regular rations of cocaine
| just as he was accustomed in the past
to issue rations of whisky.
| Cocaine has not been in use on the
| river plantations long enough to do the
| harm it has done in New Orleans, but
the problem is looming up as an impor-
tant one. In the meanwhile the effortsto
/ prevent the spread of the cocaine habit
in New Orleans and other southern cit
les have been quite successful. 1t has
been found impossible to cure the CO.
caine ffepds, who are fast drifting to
the insane asylums, killing themselves
or being killed, but it has been found
| possible to stop the future sale of CO.
caine in the drug stores and to keep the
| younger negroes from taking up the
habit.
The negroes themselves have been
| very active in this movement, and the
police have shown so much energy that
| the public sale Of the drug has almost
ceased in New Orleans. A crusade
against the use Of the drug has begun
in most of the towns, but as yet no eff
fort has been made to prevent its sale
in the country districts.-New Orleans

RUSHING WORK ON wARSHiPS
Phenomenal Advance at the Union Iron
Works In Construction.


Washington, March 11.-ApparentIy
phenomenal advance in the work On
some OF the war vessels building at the
Union Iron Works, San Francisco, is
the feature of the monthly progress re-
port issued by Admiral Bowles, chief of
the bureau of construction and repair.
The report shows gain during the
month of February of IL per cent on
the battleship Ohio, 20 per cent on the
protected cruiser Tacoma, and per
cent on the monitor Wyoming. More
over, per cent of the work on the ar
mored cruiser California, which vessel
had formerly been the only one of that
class of vessels showing no start, was
completed.
1t is explained at the navy depart
ment that during the prevalence of the
strike at San Francisco great mass OF
material had accumulated and made
ready for placement. and with the end
ing of the strike and the return of the
men to work, it had been possible
within the last month to make a great
change in the status of the work on
the vessels.

DANGER TO SHIPPING.
Immense Ice FIoes Reported Off the Coast Of
Japan-Eariy Spring In the North.

Japan-Eariy Spring In the North.
Port Townsend, Wash, March 12.-
The British ship Bann, the last of the
storm-bound fleet off the entrance to the
Straits of Juan de Fuca, has arrived
SO days from Iquique, "a days of which
she was storm-bound off the straits.
Seven times the Bann got inside of
Cape Flattery, and as no tug was there
to pick her up, she was compelled to
put back to sea. The Bann reports no
other vessels off the Cape.
The British steamship Oceano reports
to the local United States photographic
Office as having encountered an i'm
mense ice foe about 200 miles off the
japanese coast, abreast the entrance to
Sugar straits. So extensive was the ice
foe that the steamer was compelled to
change her course and steam for several
hours t. avoid coming in collision with
the ice. The ice foe is in the direct
path of vessels sailing to the Orient,
and as it is quite extensive, it is dan
gerous to navigation. The captain of
the Oceano says the ice is from four to
six feet out of the water, and some OF
the bergs are many feet across, and
cannot be seen until the vessel is among
them. This is the first time ice has
been seen off the Japanese coast in that
vicinity. 1t is thought that the foe
came from Behring Straits and the
Arctic ocean, and that through some
unknown cause the ice pack in the
Arctic has broken earlier and that it in.
dicates an early spring in the north.

handlers had been threatened for the
past two or three weeks, it was from an
entirely unexpected quarter that it fin
ally came. The strike is expected tc
be far reaching in its effects.

LONG STEPS OUT.
Secretary Of the Navy Hands His Resignation
to the President.


to the President.
Washington, March 12.-The third
change in the cabinet of President
Roosevelt occurred when Secretary
Long submitted his resignation in a
beautiful letter, it being accompanied
by one equally felicitous by the presi-
dent. The change was made complete
by the selection of representative Will
lam Henry Moody, of the Sixth con-
gressional district of Massachusetts, as
Mr.. Longs successor III the navy de-
partment.
This change has been expected for a
long time. Mr.. Long had intended to
retire at the beginning of the late Pres
ident McKinley's second term, but be
consented to remain until certain lines
of policy in which he was involved
were more satisfactorily arranged.
Then when President Roosevelt sue
ceeded, though anxious to return te
private life-for Secretary Long will
never again enter public life-a strong
feeling of loyalty toward Mr.. Roosevelt
induced the secretary to defer his re-
tirement until it was convenient for the
president to make change. Recently
Mr.. Long has been in Massachusetts
making arrangements with his old legal
connections to re-enter the practice oi
law, and he has had his house at Hing.
ham put in order for his occupation.
When Mr.. Long entered the cabinet
originally he was an active member ot
the firm OF Hemingway & Long, a well
known legal firm of Boston. He has
always maintained silent connection
with the concern, and will again be-
come an active partner.

POOSEvELT'S FIRST VETO.
He Objects to Bill Removing the Charge
of Desertion.

Washington, March 13.-President
Roosevelt has sent his first veto mes
sage to congress. 1t was directed to
the senate and the bill vetoed was one
removing the charge of desertion from
the naval record of John Glass.
After the message had been deliv-
cred, Senator Gallinger, from the COM
mittee on naval affairs, read the re-
port of the committee on which the
senate acted. From that statement it
appears that Glass enlisted in January,
1864, when only 16 years old, and that
having. witnessed an act which COM
promised the second officer of the ship,
he was taken on shore in March of that
year by that officer and told not to re-
port again for duty. The committee
says that this order together with Glass
youth was resposible for his desertion.
