Philadelphia, March 9.-"The great ma
tional questions which are at present
causing SO much CONSERVATION in this and
other countries will be settled by the In
ternational Republic of Man. This re-
public will be the salvation of civiliza-
tion," said Professor Nathaniel Schmidt
of Cornell university in an address, 1.-The
Republic of Man, at the Society of Eth

T. perhaps the greatest creation of the
world to-day are the trusts, because they
are internationally organized Such will
be the case Of the republic of man. The
men Of the world should be cemented to-

resented So" continued Professor
Schmidt. 1.-THE Hague international con-
ference Of peace, brought about by the
czar of Russia, was the first step toward
the great empire of man. Now that they

| of a short time before a duly elected and
organized legislative body will sit for

reason the nations should get together
on an equality as do the states of this

after everything has failed to stop war

arbitration is becoming more and more

be other things to settle besides war. A
regular legislature will necessarily have to

present wish of all nations of the earth.
Money and coinage are other questions
which can be settled only before the par
Eliament Of the republic of, man.
T. Professor Schmidt then spoke of several
I other national questions of to-day that
could be settled satisfactorily at an in

such as international postoffices, bimet-

The Explanation Given Is the Short

Special to The Journal,


New York, March 9.-The decrease in
Minneapolis & st. Louis earnings for Feb
ruary is explained by the management as
due to the inability of the road to furnish
sufficient number of cars to move the
traffic which 1t could have obtained had
the equipment been adequate: Measures
are being taken to remedy this trouble,
and it is expected that the March showing
will be better. = 80 :i:<5t- - %t 2f 5
The Iowa Central earnings continue to
show decrease, owing to conditions
which have prevailed for several months.
The principal factor in~the decrease is the
absence of corn tonnage. The crop in
Iowa Central territory was short, owing
ito the weather conditions, and is being fed
instead of shipped. It is hardly probable
that any marked increase in the receipts
can be expected for some time

What the Atlantas Constitution Says

New York Sun Special Service.


Atlanta, Ca, March y:-Editor Clark
Howell 1efe tthes Atlanta, Constitution, re-
plies editorial1y to- the recent letter OF
President Roosevelt ON hthe appointment
of negroes to Offices in the south. o>'-$5"
'It is apparent" he says, that the
president has been disconcerted at the
general criticism to which he has been
subjected in the south and by northern
newspapers as well, for his assumed atti-
tude of antagonism and rebuke to the
white sentiment of the people of the
south.
1T is equally apparent that the presi-
dent prefers the good will of the south as
he does that of every other section of the
union to such unpleasant contempt as may
be based upon the idea that he is riding
roughshod over the better sentiment of the
people for the purpose of EN- phasiz1ngs his
adherence to a pet theory which finds no
elodgment in the southern mind and8but
little in the North
LAS the Constitution stated in discuss
ing Mr.. Edwards letter, the people of the
south would be more delighted than, those
of any other section to find that the presi-
dents position hads been misunderstood,
and it is but just to the president to say
that, in the. light of his own assurances,
coupled with the statement of Mr.. Page
and that of Mr.. Edwards, his words are
entitled to- due consideration and to the
conservative thought Of the southern peo-
pie. .ztt-@ e-': I% - + +

dwell in the thought that it's people are
living under an administration hostile tc
all that to which the people Of this sec
ton cling most tenaciously in defense Of
their underlying civilization. It is per.
haps, natural that the president under al
circumstances, should not say as much ir
giving his views on the subject as, has
been said for him by Mr.. Edwards and Mr.
Page, and yet the evident display of con.
servatism and friendly feeling in Mr.
Roosevelt's utterance is SO marked as t.

Washington, March 9.--Holt & Co., who,
by means of their steamship line to Brazil
control most of the flour trade of that
country, are now engaged in a war with
outside shippers. Older steamship lines
have decided that they will not let the
-four business go by default and will grant
such rates to outside shippers that other
brands than those controlled by Holt &
Co. may benefit by the cheap transpor-
tation. The Brazil market was formerly
one Of the largest consumers Of American
flour, but owing to the rapid growth Of
milling in Argentine and the establish
ment Of flour mills in Brazil, the volume
OF business is not as large as formerly.
Flour can be shipped at present from New
York to Pernambuco at 33 cents a barrel,
and to southern Brazil posts at IS cents.
