SUCCESS OF WOMEE
AT TELEGRAPH KEY.
Operators Pay on Average Better
That That Of Other Wom-
en- Workers.

Ore Of tho most satisfactory women's oc-
equations IN business is one OF the Oldest
OF them all-that Of the telegraph operator.
Years ago, long before women became a
serious factor in the business life Of great
cities and when women telegraph operators
first entered the new field, It was predicted
that they would score q failure in the new
profession,
The work would provs too nerve-wrccking,
1t was said.
No woman could Withstand the strain at
the keys day in and day out. 1t was
thought. The long hours in front of the
monotonously clicking little instrument re-
curing every sense TO DO alert would test
the strength OF q man, not TO mention his
more frail companion. It was decided.
And for more than a decade women have
been busy knocking holes in these
ments, for the woman telegraph operator
OF to-day IL as numerous as she ever was.
and. II anything, more efficient.
Most OF the women operators nowadays
have worked their way up the line in the
telegraph offices.
While at work as clerks and in one or an
other Of the many departments they grad
ually pick up the alphabet and become
operators without knowing it.
About all that is required besides the gift
Of ear, which every operator must have
aside from training, Is to know how to de-
CIPHER bad writing and to writs a fairly
legib,a hand.

LAUDS HIS LEGISLATION.
Roosevelt Says That Hepburn
Helped Him Out.

Osceola, Ia, April 2S.-President
Roosevelt, in his address here, paid a
compliment to Congressman Hepburn
and the other members of the Iowa
delegation in Congress, saying:
Il wish to state my sense of obliga-
ton to him and to all the Iowa dele
cation for the aid they gave me last
year-the Invaluable aid in bringing
certain bits of legislation, non-parti-
san in character, which / deemed of
the utmost Importance; such as wise
supervision and regulation of certain
great corporations of the type popu-
larly known as trusts, notably of those
engaged in doing an interstate business;
legislation which l deemed invaluable
not only because of it's courage, but be-
cause of its sanity, and because it does
not pretend to do anything that it
does not do.
A promise should be kept on the
stump just as much as off the stump.
The worth of any promise lies In its
ful1lllInent by action, and it was,
thanks to Col. Hepburn, thanks to the
Congress, to the members of both the
Senate and the House from Iowa and
their fellows. that l am able to come
before you feeling that all that had
been said by US as to the need of such
regulation has been made good in fact.
ImproVem ents upon the law have been
made, better legislation has been put
on the statute books, and the legisia-
ton upon the statute books has been
enforced with honesty and with fear

FRANCHISE TAX LAW

New York Court of Appeals Re

New York Court of Appeals Re-
versed the Lower Court.
Albany, N. Y, April 2S.-The Court
of Appeals, in a decision to-day, unan-
imously sustained the special franchise
tax law, reversing the decision of the
appellate division Of the Supreme Court
handed down at the January term and
sustaining the decision of Judge Earl.
The decision sustains the provision for
the assessment of the special fran
chises by the State Board of Tax Com
missioners.
There We're seven cases, all involving
the same question. the validity of as
sessments upon the special franchises
of the respondent corporations made by
the State Board of Tax Commissioners
under an act of 1899, which amended
the general tax law SO as to include as
taxable real property the rights of
street railroad, gas, pipe line, telegraph,
telephone and similar public service
companies in the public streets and
places. Taxes assessed during the
three years since the passage of the law
amount to $1S 412,SS4, upon an assess
cd value in 1902, for instance of $685.

1T WAS A FEELER
RUSSIA'S NOTE is GENERALLY so
REGARDED.
AS 1T HAS RAISED A ROW
RUSSIA HAS ABANDONED SOME OF
HER CLAIMS.

In the Absence of Definite News
from Mccormick at st. Petersburg
and COnger ut PeISin, Officers of
the State Department Speculate
Upon the Manchurinn Situation.
If Their Opinion Is Correct, They
Anticipate no Persistence in Rus
sin's Attitude.
Washington, April 2S.-No response
has come to the State Department as
yet from either Ambassador Mccormick
at St. Petersburg or Minister Conger
at Pekin, to the inquiries respecting
Russia's demands in connection with
Manchuria.
The officials are in a state of sus-
pense and uncertainty in view of the
conflict in the semi-oflicial dispatches
from the Russian and Chinese capitals.
In the absence of official statements of
Russias purposes, the opinion prevails
here that these Russian demands were
really put out in a tentative form last
week, and not in regular official shape.
There is good reason to believe that the
Chinese government itself let the de-
mands leak out in order to secure the
support of the Powers in it's refusal of
the Russian tenders.
Noting the intense public excitement
over the proposition, the Russian gov
eminent, it is surmised took steps
through the statement issued In st.
Petersburg yesterday to abandon sew
eral of the original demands. 1t is not
doubted that such reduction of the
maximum demands was fully within
contemplation when the tentative
statement was thrown out.
If this assumption, general In official
circles, here, is well founded, then Rus
STA will not further interfere with the
contamination of the United States
trade treaty with China, including as
it does the new ports of Moukdam and
TalkuShan. On the other hand, the
fourth demand, characterized by the
st. Petersburg statements as "unim-
portant," is not so regarded here, for 1t
amounts to an indefinite continuance
under Russian direction of present con-
ditions in China, which Will stop all re-
form movements.

Russia Protecting Herself Against
other Powers.
London, April 2S.-In dispatch from
Toxic, the correspondent of the Daily
Mail says:
THE Russian charge daffaires at
Pekin told Japanese journalist that
the Japanese, English and Americans
came to Manchuria with a political oD-
ject, and that Russia's attempt to ex-
clude them was an act of self-defense.
The Russian charge d'affaires failed to
understand why Japan was not salts
fed with her acquisitions in Korea and
stretched out her hand toward Man
churia.
American war vessels are assem-
bling at Yokohama" continues the cor
respondent, Supposedly in connection
with the Manchurian situation.
'The Japanese and British ministers
at Pekin have formally warned China
against the acceptance of the Russian
demands.
''The Japanese hold proofs that Ad-
miral Alexieff is using Chinese high
waymen at Mukden to create disorder. ="
In conclusion the representative of
the Daily Mail says that the Russian
authorities are buying large quantities
of provisions at Toxic.

made an extended speech on good citi-
zenship, incidentally paying a tribute
to Congressman Hull for his efforts in
securing the new militia law.
At DesMoines the President kissed
a number of babies. During the drive
IOur Hlotners, edcn WIN pdpy III HeI

handed him bouquets of flowers. They
then held the babies up to be kissed
and the President did not disappoint
them.
One of the features of the day was
the large number of school children
that greeted him. At every place ne
stopped and at many places where
the train did not stop, the little people
were congregated, waving small Amer
lean flags

Some Assist and Others Allied
Against the Cnpuchins.

Paris, April 2S.-The dispersions of
the congregations continue to be ac-
companied with violent agitation and
disorder wherever they occur. The Ca
puchins at Marseilles are undergoing a
regular siege.
The convent is now encompassed by
strong force of gendarmes and po-
licemen to prevent communication
with the inmates. Food, blankets and
mattresses are being thrown from adj
joining houses into the courtyard of the
convent. Inside the convent a crowd
numbering about $500 persons, but
composed mostly of women, fills the
church, and the singing of hymns is
mingled with prayers and shouts of
God save France!" outside an equal
ly large crowd of anti-clericals is sing
ing revolutionary songs and shouting
Down with the priests!"
The monks at the Abbey of Kerbe-
neat have barricaded themselves
strongly. while the peasants of the VII
entity mount guard around the con-
vent day and night. A similar state
of affairs exists at Millau, where the

French Canadian striker, was shot in
the leg by Stevedore William Quinn,
who was attacked by the man whom
he wounded. The first mob chased
Quinn, but he escaped. Later he was
arrested.
