Tien-Tsin, March 2S.-The Russians
have proclaimed New Chwang under
martial law.
St Petersburg, March IS. - Vice
Admiral Makaroff. commanding the
Russian naval forces at Port Arthur,
has sent the following telegram to the
emperor, dated March %: Il beg most
humbly to report that at 2 o'clock
this morning the enemy made q second
attempt to block the entrance to the
inner roadstead- For this purpose they
dispatched four large merchant steam
ers, conveyed by six torpedo boats. to
the entrance. The enemy's ships were
promptly discovered by the search
lights and were bombarded by the
batteries and by the guardships Bohr
and Otvajny.
Torpedo Boat Blocks the Game.
Fearing the enemy's ships might
break through Lieutenant Krinizki,
commanding the guard torpedo boat
Stilni, attacked the enemy and de-
stroyed the bow of the foremost jap
anese steamer with torpedo. This
steamer turned to the right and was
followed by two others, with the re-
suit that the three were stranded to
the right of the entrance. A fourth
steamer went to the right of the en-
emy's ships, and likewise sank to the
side of the fairway. The Stilni then
battled with the enemy's six torpedo
boats. Engineer Artificer Swycreff and
six seamen were killed, and the COM
mander and twelve seamen were
wounded.

BURLINGTON And
FRISCO TRADE
FORMER WILL CARRY HEAVY
BUSINESS TO ST. LOUIS.
Grain of Nebraska Will Go Out Over
F,risco's New North and South Line
Cotton for the Orient Will Be
Hauled Northward.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service. Il
New York, March 22.-Beginning
next season there will be heavy bust
ness over the Burlington to st. Louis
north and south line of the st. Louis
& San Francisco which will be open
for business about June 1. This inter
change would naturally be made at
Kansas City, but the Burlington wants
the longer haul and will get it. The
make up in part for the longer haul
in carrying business thru st. Louis.
The prospects for this trade are
founded on the fact that about 90 per
cent of the grain Of Nebraska should
go out thru the gulf ports under any
rate schedule at all reasonable. I'm,
der such reasonable rate schedule
their share Of the export grain bust
ness as against the Atlantic grain
ports. It goes without saying that the
fair share" they count on getting is
not a modest share. 1t amounts to
about to | as against the eastern
fields south Of the northern border Of
Iowa and Nebraska.
Interchange traffic will be cotton,
very largely, and corn. The cotton
trade over the Hill lines has often
been emphasized, the diversion Of the
oriental trade TO Puget SOUND ports
thru the Hill method having been a
fruitful source Of comment and argu-
ment. This cotton tonnage is ex-
tremely heavy, and Frisco will reach
lot of it, having lines in all parts of
the southern cotton belt. Shreveport,
Memphis, Birmingham, New Orleans
and all the cotton towns of northern
Texas lie on the Frisco lines and can
feed the low grade line to St., Louis
with excellent effect.
There are going to be some new rate
problems to solve in this connection.
This new north and south route from
st. Louis to the gulf will claim the
right to make very low rates. The
schedule of the Illinois Central applies
east Of the Mississippi, and complica-
tons will arise out of the formation
of the new Frisco low grade line part
ly east and partly west Of that river.
The Frisco will not give up the advan-
tage OF the lowest grades north and
south, and will probably make rates
that will draw a. lot of tonnage from
the lines that climb grades. With a
Burlington alliance the Frisco should
make good any claim it advances.

carriage tariff applying to Chicago,
Shippers believe that the tariff may be
extended to other cities.
The tariff grants a rebate of 3
cents per 100 pounds to shippers for
the delivery Of freight. AS the rail-
roads are compelled to pay for a large
amount of switching in Chicago on ac-
count Of the complicated condition of
the freight yards Of that city, they
have found it cheaper to give the ship
100 pounds for delivering goods at

Neither Elihu Root or any other
person has any disposition to censure
Harry G. Davis, the Democratic
candidate for the vice presidency,
for being an old man, but it is en-
tirely proper for any body to ques-
ton the wisdom of placing in nomi-
nation for this important office a
man whose advanced years render
him incapable of discharging the
duties, which, should he be elected,
might devolve upon him. When a
man reaches the age of eighty years,
no matter how we'll preserved he
may be, he is too old to be placed
in the line of promotion to the presi-
dency.

Owing to the reckless extrava-
gance of the present reform state
administration, and its failure to
levy a state tax last autumn, the
state treasury will be in bankrupt
condition months before there will
be any money payable to the gener-
al fund. With this fact staring it
in the face the La Toilette regime
has the adamantine cheek to insist
that it be continued in power. The
Republican organization in both
state and nation has repudiated the
corrupt and despotic dynasty ruled
by La Toilette and there is no room
for reasonable doubt that the SUI
preme Court will decide against it,
after which the people will decide
that the present unworthy state ad-
ministration should retire, to be sue
ceeded by another which will give
the people an honest and business
like management of state affairs.

A comparison of the reports OF
railway accidents in Great Britain
and the United States leads us to
the conclusion that human life is
not considered of as much conse-
quence in this country as in Eng
land. Great Britain has 22,38o
miles of railroad as against 2o8,ooo
in the United States, but nearly
twice as many passengers were car
ried on the cars in the former coun-
try last year as in the latter. In the
United Kingdom there were 235
collisions and derailments as against
1868 in this country and only one
passenger killed for every 47,793,-
$40 carried, and one injured for
every I,5Io,745 carried in the United
Kingdom as against one in $685.
673 killed and one injured in 1885,
sos carried in America. In Great
Britain last year 148 passengers
were killed in railway accidents of
in train service and 1861 injured.
In the United States during the
same period from the like causes 32I
passengers were killed and 6,973 in
jured. In Great Britain 1901 or
"other persons" not passengers were
killed and 4,Io4 injured, while in
America 1898 employees were killed
and 2o,OI4 injured.

Representative Governme emit.

Outside of Wisconsin, Gov. r.
M. La Toilette is obtaining much
glory coupled with financial con-
sideration of one hundred dollars a
night, for delivering his lecture up
on the manifold blessings of repre-
sentative government. Inside the
state he is richly earning. the most
hearty contempt of all people who
really believe in the principle of
representative government, by his
frantic efforts to deprive the people
of their right to be heard through
their duly chosen representatives.
In the person of Gov. La Toilette
is embodied the most arrogant and
INSCRIPTIONS type Of the political
dictator, and in his desperate pur-
pose to thwart the will of the peo-
pie, he proposes to ignore decision
of the Supreme Court, unless such
decision shall meet his approval.
In his insane desire to rule he is
prompted by the most fragrant dis
regard for the rights of others,
possessing no more affinity for the
principle of populs- government
than does lighted torch for pow
der magazine. And yet, this politi-
cal bandit has SO completely hood
winked the eastern press by his
hypocritical pretense of being in
favor of representative government
that it is prone to look upon him as
an eminent statesman, instead of a
man who in practical politics is the
incarnation of the political boss who
would resort to the most despicable
trick to carry his point and to per-
petuate his lease of official or politi-
cal power.

It is noticeable that the La Fol-
lette papers are constant in their at
tempts to discredit in advance the
Supreme Courts decision on the
political scrap. The intimation is
that if the decision is against them
they will not abide by it. This
sentiment is inspired from politi-
cal headquarters. La Toilette says
himself that he will stay in the field.
"Courts are of no account" Then
neither are legislatures and execu-
tives.

heaps of gratuitous advice to the

is and if the Supreme Court decides
against La Toilette it will be through
ignorance or prejudice. These fell
lows talk like women or children,
and for grown men such nonsense
is suprenely ridiculous.

who has heretofore steadfastly voted

the election of Roosevelt than a

Just why State Treasurer Kempf
wishes to remain upon the La Fol-
lette state ticket we do not clearly
understand, but it is for reasons
which are doubtless entirely salts
factory to himself. The attempt of
La Toilette and his lieutenants to
kick Kenpf off the ticket is now
being resisted in the courts, tenn
porary injunction having been is
sued restraining all persons pre-
sumed to have power to drop his
name from the ticket, from carrying
out such purpose. The La Toilette
managers claim to have a resigna-
ton from the ticket rendered by
Mr.. Kempf late in July. Kempf
admits having signed such docu-
ment, but alleges in his complaint
that he was coerced into so doing.
The State Treasurer has also OBJ
tanned an injunction restraining Gov.
La Toilette from removing him
from office. The administration
clan has an interesting and bitter
family quarrel on its hands, con-
dition of affairs which cannot fail to
prove embarrassing. Should the
courts make permanent the injunc-
ton already granted Mr.. Kempf,
and the La Toilette gang thus be
thwarted in its attempt to force him
from the ticket, an independent can
didate for State Treasurer will be
brought out and supported by the
La Toilette party, which can in this
way practically nullify court de-
cision made in favor of Kempf. The
administration outfit has no more re-
spect for court decisions than it has
for the action of political convent
tons great or small.
