Newport News, Va, Oct. 1.-Two

Specials From st. Louis Bump To-
Eether and Soldiers Hurt.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 15.-Gov.
Chamberlain of Connecticut and party
narrowly escaped a serious wreck just
after leaving St. Louis in their special
trains to-day.
AS the trains were pulling out of the
Union Station the first special was
stopped by a block signal and the sec
end crashed into it.
The second train was moving at a
low rate of speed, or the result might
have been serious. About a dozen
members of the Governors Foot Guards
were bruised more or less, but none
was injured seriously. The Governor
was in the third section, and was con-
sequently not in the wreck.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 15.-Governor
and Mrs. Terrell and party re-
turned to-day from Bath Me-. where
the battleship Georgia, which the Gov
ernor pronounce the finest and most
majestic sight he has ever witnessed.
The entire crowd of 10000 threw their
hats in the air and cheered at the
sound of Dixie" from the band when
the Georgia slid off the ways, Gov.
Terrell says.
The Governor is very much gratified
over the outlook for Democratic sue
cess in the national election. He vis-.
tied Democratic headquarters in New
York and talked with Chairman Tag
gart and other leaders.
There is no doubt" the Governor
said, that Herrick will carry New
York, and that means that Parker will
get the Empire State also. Chairman
Taggart says the West will be all
right, and the situation looks brighter
and better for Democratic success than
at any time in the past"
The Governor thinks after an inter
view with the War Department Off

Who May Succeed Field Marshal Oyama, Who
Has Gained Such Striking Victory
Over Russians
RUSSIANS CAN'T RALLY;
MANY DEAD ON FIELD.

Toxic. Oct. is, s p. m.-As a re-
suit of the bloody battle of Oct. IA,
the Russians left 1000 dead on the
field which they lost.
Field Marshal Oyama estimates
tile Russian losses at over 10000.
The fighting continued all along
the entire line to-day and the end
is not near.
1t seems to be impossible for the
Russians TO rally, and they will
probably be pressed back across
the Hun river.

COMMISSION HOLDS
HEARING ON RATES
Sheep Dealer Thinks Transfer Charges
Are Exorbitant.

The Chicago Great Western claims
that its switching charges of $3.50 a
car between South ST. Paul and the
Minnesota transfer are reasonable. At
the hearing yesterday of the case of
Leo Gottfried against the company
before the state railroad and ware
house commission, Traffic Manager p.
G. Stohr said that the greater part Of
the charges were paid to the Northern
Pacific, and Union Depot companies
for switching and trackage privileges.
General Counsel F. B. Kellogg and
Assistant General Manager Tracy
Lyon also testified for the company.
Gottfried, who is a South st. Paul
sheep dealer, told the commission that
the Milwaukee recently made rate
of $3.50 for transferring cars from
South st. Paul to the Minnesota trans
fer. He wants the Great Westerns
charges reduced to meet the Milwau-
KEGS.
The case was taken under advise
ment by the commission and no de-
cision will be given for at least two
weeks. The commission will today
hear testimony in the case of the
North Western line. The North West
ern has made application for permission
to close several stations in Southern
Minnesota.

ADVOCATES POOLING
OF RAILROAD LINES
Vic President Morton Says Much Good
VIII Result From Merging.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1s.-Paul Morton.
vice president Of the Atehison, Tope-
ka & Santa Fe, in an article Just pub
lished by the University of Chicago
Press declares that pooling of interests
is the solution of present railway trou-
pies. and that it will be legaIized In
the near future.
He gives as his opinion that the
preferential rates which have resulted
from the interstate commerce law pro-
hibiting trusts and combinations are
menace to Justice and fair play, and
must be done away with. He says:
I have always been an advocate of
Iegahzed pooling, because / believe it
will go a long way toward insuring
maintenance of tariffs, and thereby
prevent favoritism and inside rates

foundation of the state itself is
threatened by any 1ong-continued dis
elimination against the small shipper
