Why Chicago outstripped st. Louis.
(EltwoodPomeroy, in the World To
day.

st. Louis is the most central of
the large cities of the country. II we
leave Alaska out Of consideration. It's
river system is navigable on one side
to the Rockies. We cannot appreciate
this river system till we hear that the
whole coast line Of Europe, including
the Mediterranean, Baltic and Black
seas, is only 1900. or but 1000 more
miles than thewater transportation
system at whose center st. Louis sits,
and that the whole coast line of North
America on the Atlantic, Pacific and
Arctic oceans is only $1,000 miles, or
less than double that of the Missis-
sippi waterways.
II II had not been for the railroads,
st. Louis would have been the great
city Of the center Of this continent
instead Of Chicago. But the railroads,
largely by unfair means, have held
the check and at times really stran-
gled water transportation, and it
is routes and cheapness of transpor-
tation that finally determine the loca-
tion and development Of great cities.
st. Louis has great railway systems
centering to her and some Of her best
citizens have been so bound up with
the development OF the railroads that
they have aided in strangling the wa
ter system. AS a whole, the people
of st. Louis are blind to their great
est geographical advantages. Some
day they will wake up to It and the
city, as a whole, will determinedly
develop the magnificent waterways
reaching out in every direction from

DO NOT DOUBT REPORTS
RUSSIANS EXPECTING TO HEAR
OF IMPORTANT NAVAL
ENGAGEMENTS.

st. Petersburg, June 16.-No infor-
nation is obtainable here regarding
the reported engagement between the
Russian Vladivostok squadron and a
Japanese squadron in the Korean
straits, but it is quite likely that ma
val fight mas occurred or is about to
occur. Vice Admiral Skrydloff has
left Vladivostok with the armored
cruisers Gromoboi, Rossia and .Rurik
and some torpedo craft. AS this fact is
already known abroad the Associated
Press betrays no confidence of the au-
thorities here in making this definite
announcement.
If the report that the Russian pro-
tected cruiser Novik made a sortie
from Port Arthur Tuesday is true it
demonstrates that the entrance is free
and doubtless was preliminary to the
egress of the whole squadron for the
purpose of effecting juncture with
Skrydloff's squadron. The news of a
decisive sea battle may, therefore, ar
rive at any hour.
Before Admiral Skrydloff left Vlad-
ivostok the Russian protected cruiser
Bogatyr, which went on the rocks Off
Cape Gamova, was hauled off and
towed into the harbor of Vladivostok,
She is now in dock there.

STRIKE ON GREAT LAKES ENDS.

Cleveland, June 16.-After six weeks
Of tieup on the Great Lakes that has
directly involved only a couple of thou
sand men, but indirectly more than
100000 who have been idle because Of
its existence, a cessaticd has been
brought to the strike by the surrender
of the masters, who, with the pilots,
have been holding out for more uni

was offered by the Lake Carriers as
ISOLATION, whose boats were most at.
fected by the difficulty between the

.3 The strike was declared Off by Paul
Howell, district captain of the Masters

] It is understood that the Lake Car
riers' association, will soon come to an
agreement with the mates and that The
full fleet Of the Lake Carriers assoeia-
ton will be gotten under way within
q few days. " ss.
The Lake Carriers association was
willing to pay last years scale OF
wages, but this was not agreeable to
the masters and pilots, because of: al
legged great difference in the wages of
men doing exactly similar work. :

costly in wages and time lost and stag
