work on the place failed to give the
signals for stopping and the engineer,
thinking all was right, went ahead. 1t
is said that the flags were out and the
usual precautions were taken, but the
flags could not be seen on account OF
the fact that the track makes an alb

GIVEN AUDIENCE
BY THE EMPEROR

COMMITTEE.
LISTENS TO THEIR DEMANDS
Appears Impressed by Their Sugges-
tions-Committee Silent But
Apparently Jubilant Over
the Interview.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 26.-The unex-
pected may happen, after all. The meet
ing of the zemstvoists first Russian
congress" al it is now called, may in
deed work the Inauguration of a new
era for Russia Emperor Nicholas, the
initiator of the plan for universal dis
armament, may turn back upon the re-
dictionaries and crown his reign by grant
ing to his subjects the constitution
which his grandfather had already pre-
pared when he fell by the hand of an as
sassin.
Are Heard by the Gear.
The basis OF the possibility is the
significant fact that late Friday after
noon the emperor received in the palace
at Tsarskoe-Selo, M. Shipoff, of Moscow;
M. Petrunkeivitch, of Tever; M. Rodzi-
,anko, Of Ekaterinoslav, and Count Hell
den, four prominent members of the
zemstvo congress, and listened at length
to their views. 1t develops that when
Minister of the Interior S~viatopolk-
Mirsky presented the zemstvo memorial
and resolutions on November "a, the en-
peror was so deeply impressed as well
by the contents of the documents as by
the character of the signers that he i'm
mediately expressed the desire to per-
sonally receive a deputation of four.
The zemstvoists therefore went to Tsar-
skoe-Selo by imperial command. At
their audience, it is understood, they ex-
planned fully their position, and reit-
Grated the views expressed by the me-
mortal, that the salvation Of the empire
from ruin by revolution lay in the adop-
ton Of the general ideas expressed in the
memorial.
Emperor Impressed.
The emperor was greatly impressed
by what he heard, and asked many
questions. While it is understood that
he gave no indication Of his purposes ex-
cept the sympathy he displayed, the dep
utation, when they returned to st. Pc
tersburg, were in high spirits. Natural
ly they declined to say anything for pub
LEGATION regarding the visit.
Causes Sensation.
The news that the delegation had been
given an audience by the emperor spread
like wildire through the city, and Gre
ated a tremendous sensation, rejoicing
among liberals and amazement among
the uncompromising supporters of the
old regime. Earlier in the day the re-
port was current that an immediate eff
feet of the zemstvo meeting would likely
be the realization Of the plan for giving
two elected zemstvo representatives
seats in the council of the empire.

Cotton Mills File Suit.

Suit has been commenced before the
interstate commerce commission by all
the cotton mills of the Augusta, Ca,
section against the Southern railway,
the Atlantic Coast Line, the Seaboard
Air Line, the Central Steamship Com
pany, the Old Dominion Steamship
Company and the Ocean Steamship
Company for reduction of the pres
ent rate on cotton goods shipped out
of Augusta cotton mill territory and
for the recovery of excess rates that
have heen charged during the lastt ten
yearc.
The mills entering the suit are the
Warren and Granitevil1e, in the terri
tory adjacent to Augusta in this state,
and the Enterprise, Sibley, Augusta
and King, of Augusta.
1t is alleged in the petition that
great factors in the increasing of these
rates have been excessive terminal
charges at Charleston, Savannah and
Norfolk. together with excessive pre-
miums for marine insurance for which
no adequate consideration was given,
and that all these excessive. and at
times unnecessary charges, were figur-
ed in the freight rates charged the
millc.

Plapts' Quest of Sunlight.

Though it has never been proved that
plants have brains, it has been proved
often that there is some power within
them whereby they combat evil condi-
tions and seek what is best TO" their
good.
A resident of Castle Valley, Pa. has
vine that showed itself last month
to have. if not brain, substitute OF
equal value. This vine, young one,
grew in a clay pot. A stick stood in
the middle of the spot. and the vine
curled up it. It was about two feet in
height; in length, it would have meas
ured four feet.
Usually the vire was placed in 4
south window every morning. where it
absorbed all day the benefit Of the
suns rays. 1t happened, however,
through an oversight, that one after
noon the shutter shaded half tle win
dow and tie vine was set in the shut
ter's shadow. \ foot away was tie
sunlight. warm, giitterins. life-SiTing.
but where the plant stood there was
nothing but gloom.
During the four days the vine stood
in the shadow With the sunlight near
it. it did something that proved it to
have a faculty akin to Intelligence. 1t
uncuried itself from its supporting
stick. and like a living thins it
crawled over the window ledge TO the
sun.
This vine, to be sure. did not urcurl
itself and crawl with the rapid move
ments of snake. Its movements
were. indeed. so SLOW as to be imper-
ceptible. Nevertheless. looking about.
it overcame every obstacle. and final
ly it lay bsski1s in the sutherland
