ROOSEVELT AND cocKRELL

a good many Of the CourlerJourn-
ais contemporaries are sounding tho
praises Of Mr. Roosevelt because. a
Republican president. he has appoint
ed Democrat ex-senator Cockreli
ito he Interstate commerce commits
ion.
This, they say. proves Mr. Roosevelt
to be a man Of broad mind who rises
superior to par.isanship in the admin
istration of his office as president OF
the whole country. and they are pay
ing him admiring tribute accordingly
President Roosevelt may be all tha
his admirers claim him to be-when
he chooses but his selection of Mr.
Cockrell has no bearing on this point
The newspapers which are euloglz.
ing him fer apbbiE.ing a Democrat
when he might have appointed o Re
publican are evidently ignorant of the
fact that he cou.d not have appointed
1 Republican.
The interstate commerce commits
sion Is composed of five members
three of whom are Republicans and
two Democrats. Tie vacancy &
which Mr. Cockrell was named was
on the Democratic side Of the commits
ion. The president could not have
appointed Republican instead of MIR
cockrell because there were already
hree Republicans on the commission
and the law requires that not more
than three Of the commissioners shall
belong to the same political party.
The president was not bound to ap
point a Democrat He might have ap
pointed a Prohibiiionist, a Populist OF
any other sort of an list" but he
could not have appointed a Republi

THE TIPPING SYSTEM.

1t is reported that there Is open re
bellion against the tipping system in
some parts of Europe, About 2,000
hotel and restaurant walters in. Paris
are announced to be making a fight
against their employers for better
wages. 50 that they will not have to
depend on the gratuities of the public
for their main support In London
tips are said to have been abolished
two leading hotels by the action of
the landlords in warning their Gus
toners against giving and forbidding
their employees to receive tips. In the
United States tips are getting larger
and more frequent Perhaps the
movement in Europe against this tax
alton is because the people there are
not so extrayagant or generous in
their contributions as Americans are.
We call it generosity. but il is a fear
upon the part of the average man
away from home that if he does not
shell out" at every opportunity he
will be looked upon as mean and YER
dant. if he is not positively insulted
by some of the serving people he
encounters. Tipping to a reasonable
extent would not be objected to by
the average person. but it has come
to this. that the wayfaring man gets
hints from those who do not natural
ly fal into the gratuity line. The ele-
vator fiend is an especially noxious
varmint of travel He has learned
how to make the guest feel ashamed
Of himself. His special interest in a
perfect stranger who is about to
leave IS something touching" Mod
esty and revolt at the idea of mendi-
cancy have long since disappeared

Fighting Begun Monday.

Chefoo, Sept. 21.-Authoritative in
formation has been received here of a
general attack upon Port Arthur by the
Japanese forces which began Monday
before daybreak, continuing until dark,
and was resumed yesterday.
All indications point TO an effort to
capture certain of the northeast main
forts.
This is the attack for which the Jap
anese have been preparing for the past
10 days, with slight hope of success.
The main object is to capture the forti-
fcations on Kilwan mountain Rihlung
mountain and the intermediate forts.
The foregoing comes from a Russian
of standing, whose previous informa-
tion has been correct. He adds that the
attack at the end of August, which was
represented as two separate assaults,
really constituted 10-days' battle. the
fighting being the heaviest during the
first three days and the last four days
Of that period. Although the Japanese
retired August 81 along the greater
| part of their line. they remained in four
| supplementary forts on the northeast
front. which they had captured from
the Russians. These include two forts
so yards from Rihlung mountain and
two others at a somewhat greater dis
tance. Since August 81 the Japanese
have bombarded very slightly. while
the Russians have been throwing ap-
proximately 1000 shells daily. chiefly
against the four Japanese positions

THREE MINERS KILLED
Crushed to Death BY Fall of Rock 1900
Feet From Surface.

New York, Sept. 2l.-Three miners
were crushed to death at the old An
dover iron mine at Hibernia, N. j.: an
other was so badly injured that he will
probably die, and two others were seri-
ously hurt. Nearly 20 tons of rock fell
on the men. The three men killed could
hardly be recognized when taken from
the mine.
The victims were working in the low
est level at about 1900 feet from the
surface and nearly a mile from the
mouth of the mine. A slab of rock. 20
feet long, half as wide and from one
to two feet thick. dropped from the
roof of the tunnel. The three who were
killed were caught in the center of the
rock. The others were near the ends. 1t
was long before help arrived. as no
one knew of the accident for over half
an hour, and it then took several hours
