held by the bases in a tin band. This
is preferable on account of lightness.
The number of cartridges In each
charge is five. 1t carries a hard lead
bullet, with German silver covering.
The ball weighs 10 sranmes (155
grains). Initial speed is RS metres, or
s84 yards This rifle carries a sabre
bayonet From the service point of
view 1t is hard to clean on account of
its small cali5re and its somewhat deli
cate adjustment of parts
The Russian rifle is of what may be
called the ancient model. 1t is of the
family of French, German and Austrian
rifles. Japans rife. however. is mod
ern, with its small calibre. its great
initial speed and the level character of
its trajectory. 1t is related to the Ital-
ian and Norwegian rifles. AS it
weighs the same as the Russian weap-
OH. 1t is comparatively heavier for the
lighter built Japanese. On the other
hand, the latter's cartridges being
lighter. he can carry twenty more than
the Russian. In rapidity of fire, both
are the same. AS to straightness of
flight, the Russian bullet much excels
the Japanese especially at a great dis
lance and when wind prevails. This
is because of the Japanese ball weigh
ing almost Il third less than the Rus
sian. This inferiority, however does
not so much count in collective firing
that which is the rule in war. The
chief difference in the two arms is
that of the danger zone, the Russians
maximum being only 500 metres, while
that of the Japanese is almost zoo. In
the same proportion the penetrative
power of the Japanese bullet exceeds
that OF the Russian. AT short dis
tances any bullet can make an ugly
wound it's vicious character being in
tensified by the explosive effects that
go along with high initial speed. At
moderate distances the heavier bullet
has some advantages. AT greater dis
tances the lighter ball becomes less
dangerous. Summed up the Japanese
rife will be the most dangerous at the
ordinary distances likely to prevail in
the present war.

says: Among the politicians at the
Annex yesterday We're Colonel ]. w.

can boss of the Hawkeye state, and
Captain w. H. Lyons Jr.. of Peter

THE former expressed the belief
that the deadlock in Illinois would be
broken soon after the convention meets

on the ultimate results. Captain Lyons
is so busy nursing political pet of his

Captain Lyons is seeking to start
the ball rolling that will make George

publican candidate for governor of

laws stress on the fact that Mr.. Per

is editor of one of the leading papers in
the state and has represented the state

Continuance Of the Case Against the
McCutcheon Estate.
,ial to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, May e7.--Judge Reed,
of the federal court, yesterday morn
ing sustained motion for continuance
of the suit of A. NJ. Bort, head banker
OF the Modern Woodmen of America
VS.. E. H McCutchen ct al. The mo-
ton was filed by Wright & Call, attor-
neys for plaintiff. but was resisted by
Hubbard & Burgess, representing the
defendants.
This is the most important action
now in this division of the federal
court, inasmuch as the Modern Wood
men are seeking to recover 100000
from sureties of the deposit of that
amount with the McCutchen bank at
Holstein.
Attached to the motion for contin-
uance was an affidavit by C. J..
Wright, who stated that the attorneys
for the plaintiff had had but 81 week
to prepare their case to meet the allie
cations set up in the answer of May
16. that the witnesses for the defend
ants We're easily accessible, while the
PLAINTIFFS witnesses reside in many
states, that an investigation of the
books OF the HolStein bank is neceS-

lions of the defendants; that the plain
tiff is hampered by the death of j. w.

duced Operating Expenses to
Extent of Eastern Lines
WORKING FORCES ARE KEPT
Only Material Decrease Has Been in
the Reduction of the Construction of
New Equpment-Pay Rolls Had Been
Expanded Unduy-Traffic in the
West Good.

Chicago, May 27.-The reduction II
operating forces on the western roads
has not been as extensive as is re-
ported to have been made on tne
eastern lines. The Santa Fee, for ex-
ample, reports it has made no ma
terial reduction in it's working forces
except in the shops. where less wori,
is being done because there is enough
rolling stock to handle the presen,
business.
No such conditions confront us now
President Jensen. Business on our
lines, while not as large as formerly
is still good, and we feel that by the
end of this year we shall have an
other BOOM
President Winchell of the Rock Is
land said:
In common with most other western
| roads we have been compelled to make
| reductions in our working forces, but
| they are not as radical as reported.
| Business has fallen off materially. and
! l wish we could retrench more than we
have done, but we prefer to employ as
many men as are necessary to handle
| the business safely and promptly. 1t
| would not pay railroad company to
retrench to such an extent as to Grip
| pie it's service
| During the period of activity of
| transportation interests, from 1898 to
1909, there was an increase in thu
number of railroad employees at the
| rate of from $4,000 to 10000 a year.
In 1898 the increase was $50 per cent
and in 1902 it was 11.3 per cent. In
the same period the liabilities of the
railroads in the country We're increas-
ed $1,000, 100000 and the earnings rose
from s1,249.55S.T24 actual to S1760.-
100000 estimated, which is likely to be
increased when the full figures are Off
cially compiled.
During the period of great traffic
activity large increase in the work
ing force had to be made in all de-
partments Naturally the pay rolls
of railroads We're expanded unduly,
and it was found desirable to make
reductions.
Fewer steel rails and equipment have
been ordered this year, and in other
reduce expenses. BY reason of liberal
expenditures for materials. supplies
and betterments during the last three
years. the railroads this year are able
TO economic to a larger extent than
usual.
Considerable money is being spent
and remains to be expended on i'm
provements which We're undertaken
last year, but little new construction
that is not necessary will be under
taken until the present period of de-
preston has passed.
Coach excursions from Chicago to
st. Louis and return at around
cent mile, or Sc for the round trip,
probably will be authorized by the
western roads. The executive COM
mittee Of the Western Passenger
Association meets today TO consider the
proposition to run cheap coach ex-
cursions from all points in it's territory,
including Chicago.

Now that the early summer move
ment of hogs is surging marketwards.
fl is apparent that the avalanche OF
overweight swine dumped into the lap
of slaughterers year ago Is not to be
Concensus of opinion in
growing circles is to this effect. Such
q conclusion is logical. Corn has been
abnormally high in price and has given
poor feeding results. consequently 1t is
to presume that growers
have been marketing the mature end OF
the crop closer than last year. We
NAV get n heavier SDriuty rim af hoes

doubt that it will cut down into as
