"pRIvATE CAR" MONOPOLY.


Chicago, Oct. 11.-Mr.. Midgely's
testimony before, the interstate COM
merce commission tended to show that
by compromise system Of rebates and
commissions transportation Of many OF
the principal commodities Of commerce
is almost wholly within the grasp Of
the private car" companies which are
able 10 regulate rates and prices to a
degree that stiles competition. TT Is
all a question of traffic" said Mr..
Midgely, "and | do not mean to reflect
in any way upon the traffic managers
of our railways. Any traffic manager
who does not get business will lose his
position. He simply has to get 1t and
he can get It only by meeting the terms
made for him by his competitors
There are inferior railways just as
there are inferior men, and as soon as
young, struggling line, starving for
business, sees ft to dicker with these
shipping combines competing roads
must follow their lead" Mr.. Midgeley
admitted It was because the railways
have $500, 100000 invested In freight
cars Of their own, which are In danger
Of falling into decay and unslessness
because of the growth Of the private
car" system, that the Eailwnvs ware
anxious TO clip me wings Of the "pri-
vate cars"

LIGHTNING CAUSED BIG BLAZE
Plant of National Refining Company
at FiDdlny. o., Destroyed and En-
tire Town Threatened.

Findlay, O., Oct. 6.-The plant Of the
National Refining company was burned
here, entailing loss of 100000. The
fire was started through lightning
striking a 3O,O0O-barrel tank which
was about two-thirds full When the
tank exploded thousands Of barrels Of
burning oil were spread over the sur
rounding territory. Spectators who
had gathered turned and fled wildly
from the oncoming sea of fire. A num-
Der of persons were burned. but none
fatally. The efforts of the fire depart
ment to suppress the flames were un-
availing and for a time it looked as II
the west part of the town-was doomed.
A sudden shift of the wind, however,
saved surrounding property and the
flames were confined to the National
plant.

equipment weighs 100 pounds. The
soldiers move steadily and cheerfnlly
though the column looks more like q
pack train than an army.
Chinese reports of the Japanese
movement state that Lieut. Gen. Fu-
shimi with two divisions is moving to
flank the Russians. His force is al
ready on the Lao river within 20 miles
of Sinmintin. A simultaneous move
ment, 1t Is understood, is being car
ried out by Gen. Kuroki to the east
ward with the object Of striking the
railway and flanking the Russians out
of Mukden as was done at Lao Yang;
but the conditions are now rather diff
ferent.
Gen. Kuropatkin issued rather STIR
ring address to his men prior to the
forward movement. After recounting
the various retreats and the haTdships
endured by the soldiers, he closed as
follows:
"If the regiments which have already
been sent out prove insufficient, fresh
troops will arrive. for the infexible
wish Of the emperor that we should
vanquish the foe will be infexibly full
filed. Heretofore the enemy, In oper-
ating, has relied on his great forces
and disposing his armies so as TO sur
round us, has chosen as he deemed fit,
his time for attack; but now the mo-
ment to go to meet the enemy, for
which the whole army has been long
ing, has come, and the time has arrived
for us to compel the Japanese to do
our will, for the forces Of the Manchu-
rfan army are strong enough to begin

you must be increasingly mindful Of
the victory to be gained over our
strong and gallant foe. And above
all, remember how necessary victory
is, the more speedy to relieve our
brothers at Port Arthur, who for seven
months have heroically maintained
the defense Of the fortress entrusted
to their care"
Japs Looking for Russian ships.
Chefoo, Oct. 1O.-The increased ac-
tivity Of the japanese fleet blockading
Port Arthur, in the stopping Of mer-
chantmen is due to a lookout which is
being kept for three British ships,
which, It is suspected, intend to at
tempt to enter Port Arthur with timed
meats and vegetables.

nort1 OF the Iaitse river. Their lett
flank, consisting OF two divisions. was
on the railway at Sandiapu, 80 miles
southwest OF Mukden and close to the
Hun river. Their center, comprised OF
four divisions, occupied the railway
between Lao Yang and Chandiaputse,
IL miles north. Two more divisions
occupied the extreme Japanese right
along the road between Bentsiaptuze
and Bensihu. Their front extended
about So miles.
The position at Bentsiaputze was
strongly fortified and intended to with
stand an attack. 1t is reported that
Gen. Kuroki was there in person. The
Japanese had omitted to fortify one
hill, which was the key to the posi-
tion. The Russians, aware of this
omission, made wide detour east
ward and seized the hill with little op-
position. The hill once occupied ex-
posed the whole Japanese position to
a heavy fianking fire. The Russians
also turned the Japanese right and
the fortified positions thus becoming
untenable the Japanese were forced to
withdraw hurriedly from Bentsiaptuze,
fighting a rear guard action, in which
they suffered heavily. The Russian
losses throughout were small, although
severe opposition had been expected.
Gen. Mischenkos Cossacks had been
hurrying the Japanese outposts for sew
eral days and were entirely success
full In a number Of engagements.
The Russian southern advance began
on October with the occupation Of
Shakhe, a railway station. The next
day the station, which had been dis
mantied by the japanese, was re-
stored by the railway brigade follow
ing Immediately behind the fighting
line and the same brigade also re-
stored the bridge across the Shakhe
river. On October Gen. Mistchenko
advanced almost to the Yentai mines,
driving in the japanese outposts with
heavy loss at the expense of only one
killed and five injured.

ing made in the heaviest marching

WANTS A NEW SYSTEM.
Kansas Accountant Says BoOkkeep-
ing in Three state Ohices Ii
WrOng-Little to Criticiue.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 11.--Gov. Bailey
has made public the report Of Charles
Rowett, state accountant, who has
been investigating the bond and in
terest account of the permanent school
fund of the state. The accountant has
been three months at work on IL coun--
ties and In only two Of them has he
found irregularities which he considers
worthy Of mention In the report. The
accountant does not charge that these
Irregularities are criminal In charac-
ter and makes no attempt to explain
them. His only recommendation in
connection with the report Is that the
system Of keeping books In the Offices
Of the state superintendent Of schools.
the auditor Of state and the state treas
urer be changed and that he be In
structed by the governor to install y
new system OF books for use In those
offices He says that he was unable to
find all Of the books and records need
ed In his investigation.
Another report Of the state account
ant, supplemental to that made public.
was given out by Gov. Bailey. This
report gives the details In regard to
the transactions to which the other
report alluded in mysterious terms.
The supplemental report shows that
there is no shortage in the accounts
of the present state treasurer, but Il
shows a shortage Of more than $4,000
under the Stanley administration.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 6.-Gen. Stoes'
sells latest report from Port Arthur
up to September 80, created great re-
joicing here and revived the hope In
his ability to defend the fortress. Aft
er the failure of the storming opera
tons the war Office here would not
be surprised If the Japanese changed
their plan to a regular engineering
siege. No fresh news has been received
from Mukden.
Grand Duke Boris, cousin of En-
| peror Nicholas, leaves st. Petersburg
in ten days to rejoin the army. Maj.
Gen. Orloff has been assigned to duty
on the general staff, thus ending the
reports that he would be tried by
court-martial and dismissed from the
army, the fact being as repeatedly
stated in the dispatches of the Asso-
ciated press that Gen. Orloff was sim
ply deprived of his command by Gen.
Kuropatkin for his failure to carry out
his orders at Lao Yang.
Lieut.. Gen. Grippenburg, who Is to
command the second Manchurian
army, was received in audience by the
emperor yesterday but declined to be
interviewed and returns to Wilma. The
general will leave for the front during
the present month.
A great deal Of uncertainty exists
concerning momentous changes with
which the tongues of everybody have
been busy in st. Petersburg ever since
the formal announcement of the for
nation Of second Manhurian army
The delay In the announcement Of a
commander-in-chief of the Manchu-
rian armies, which has been daily ex-
pected, is now said to be due to EN-.
peror Nicholas contention o'wait un-
til viceroy Alexieff shall have started
for St. Petersburg. In the best in
formed quarters the belief is expressed
that Alexieff's return does not mean
his effacement, but that on the con-
trary the emperor will take occasion
to bestow upon him unmistakable
marks of his royal favor. His friends
assert that he will become the en-
peror's advisor, not only on far east
ern affairs but on all questions Of for
eign policy.
10000 Chinese BrIgands.
London, Oct. 6.-The Daily Tele-

tween Sinmintin and Kinchau inter-

firmed that there are 10000 brigands
engaged actively at the theater of war
The chiefs added that these brigands
are cooperating heartily with the jap
anese and that they are excellent,
hardy fighters, well armed with mod
ern weapons.

Chairman Stubs Has Plans Laid for

Managers are Dlseourased-Pop-
uIIst Committee Doing Nothing.

The hard work In which every
Republican is expected to buckle
down was reserved for the last fouI
weeks of this campaign. Chairman
Stubbs does not believe In long
drawnout campaigns, and In this re
spect the state committee is In per
feet accord with his views. The com
mittea bent its energies In September
to organization. Now, with plans
well in hand, the committee Is ready
to make a campaign for the 10000 ma
jorlty which 80 many conservative
politicians believe will be the record
Of the Republican party In November.
The plans include meetings In
every voting precinct, rallies In the
towns, the formation Of Roosevelt
and Hoch clubs, the distribution OF
literature and the lining up Of the
first voters. This work will be pushed
with vigor. Reports at state headquar'
ers are that the local managers al
ready are putting in their best licks
in the directions indicated. The
state committee has more than 200
speakers for service between now

them are Kansas men, some are ora
tors of national repute. Among them
are Secretary Wilson, Senator Mason,
Senator Beveridge, John L. Griffith
Of Indiana and Speaker "Joe" Can

The contrast between the activity
Of the Republican committee and the
lack of 1t on the part of the Demo
cratic committee is marked. Without
spirit, without hope and without
funds, the Democratic committee sits
grand, gloomy and peculiar" with
It's hands folded, waiting for election
day, when the agony will be over
When Judge Dale's health permits,
he has spurts Of energy, but he is
about the only man heard from. He
has taken the management Of his
campaign into his own hands, 30 the
committee doesn't have to bother
with him, further than to give his
speaking dates to the newspapers
once a week.
The Populist committee has not
done anything since It issued the
manifesto ripping Parker. The man
icsto suited the Populists very well.
for no true Populist can stand Parker,
but 1t made the Democrats sore. Dem
ccrats say that the document was a
cue for a lot of Popullsts to vote for
Roosevelt.
The Watson Populists are active In

made q date for Topeka. but had to
cancel It on account Of sickness.
