the Pacific coast to Chicago, distance of 2,240 miles, while a rate of 2S cents per 100 pounds was charged on lurn- Der from Ferguson, S. C., a distance of only a little over TOO miles.
 Tt may be, and have no doubt It fs a fact that there is a market for the lumber manufactured at Ferguson at nearby points which yields, rela- lively, a much greater revenue to the railway company than any rate could be paid on the long haul to Chicago. Therefore, if they were obliged to fix the rates from the Pacific coast or Fer guson to Chicago by comparison with the service performed the railways necessarily would be compelled to sacrifice participation in the transpor- tation of the lumber from either one point or the other. and this is my judg- ment, is one of the most convincing arguments that the rate making power without a full knowledge of all condi- tions, Is the most destructive measure that can be devised for eliminating competition.
 'Ninety-nine per cent of the com- plaints that are made to the traflc of ficers of the various railroads are not that the rates in themselves are unrea- sonable or unjust, but that discrimi- nation and preference Is shown, and that Is what should be regulated

RecOVers from TOwne on a PrOmissOry
 Note.
 New York, April 29.-A decision the plaintiff has been rendered by Jb tice Vernon NJ. M. Davis of the SuA preme Court in a peculiar suit brought by Congressman W. R. Hearst against his colleague in the House of Repre- sentatives. Charles A. Towne. Both men represent New York districts.
 The action was brought by MT. Hearst to recover $6,000 and interest loaned the defendant on a promissory note dated February 16, 1904 The complaint sets forth that payment on the note has been refused. The defense put in by Congressman Towne is that MT. Hearst loaned the money with the understanding that the borrower should write various articles for a publication owned by MT. Hearst in Washington. The defendant declared he was not asked to write these articles although he was ready to perform the services as agreed
 Justice Daivs. in awarding judgment against Mr. Towne, says: The alle- gations of the complaint are substan- tially admitted by the answer and there are no allegations of new matter that amount to a defense. Under the cir cumstances the plaintiff Is entitled to judgment"

NO EASTER DISORDER
DREADED RIOTING DID NOT AP-
 PEAR IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Russia's Great Day of Joy and Feast ing Ushered in With Becoming Calm and Reverence-Cere-
 mOny Elaborate.

St. Petersburg. April 29.-Easter Day. Russia's great day of joy and feasting. was ushered in with none of the disorder and rioting that was dreaded. As for centuries, throngs of the Russian faithful throughout the around the catheorals, churches and shrines to greet the rising of the Lord and to mark the end of lent, of the gloom and sadness of passion week.
 The absence of Ahe Emperor from the midnight services in either of his cap itals diminished interest but the cere- monies was carried out in in all its elaborateness and stateliness. The main feature of the service, namely, the procession of the clergy to the tomb where the interment of the Savior was enacted on Friday afternoon and the discovery that the tomb is empty, the search around the church for the body of the missing Lord and the angelic proclamation He Is risen," which is repeated by the priests and answered by the congregation with He Is risen indeed" is identical in every church in Russia.
 When the signal of the resurrection was given by cannon from the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul the city sud- denly burst into light, beacons of res inous wood being kindled, towers and domes of all the churches being illu- minated, designs blazing from the fa- cades of buildings and candles being lighted in every window. Kisses of greeting were exchanged between rel atives and friends and although among the higher classes in St. Petersburg the custom of general embracing IS | waning and other ancient obcisances among the great mass of the people. every one greeted his neighbor with a kiss. After the conclusion of servlces the time for feasting set in. The feasting will be continued during the day, no caller being allowed to leave house without tasting its hospitality. The Emperor and the imperial family attended services privately at Tsars- koe-Selo instead of at the winter pal ace as in 1904, or at the Kremlin as they formerly did.

America's Attitude.

St. Petersburg, April 29.-The Mo- vosti today devoted a leading article to the discussion in the British press as to the advisability of the United States joining the Anglo-Japanese alliance, especially referring to the statement by a leading London daily that the United States has virtually been a party to the alliance since the begin ming. The Novosti maintains that while sentiment in the United States seems to have favored Japan during the war. the attitude of the American Government has been strictly correct and the people of America are begin ming to realize that Japan is America S most dangerous competitor. pointing out that even if Japan no longer cov- cts the Philippines, her commercial competition would make such an alli- ance impossible. Continuing The No- vosti says:
 If in England renewal of the all Iiance is meeting opposition. the United States assuredly must steer clear of a commission which would still further strengthen Japan's prestige. The United States probably will be content with the practical advantages reapable from the war which American diplom- acy will take care to clinch, but the United States Government hardly will care to place the republic under obli- gations the advantages of which to say the least are doubtful"

H1LAND BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Objections to Commission Making
WashinPtnn


 Washington, April 29.-At toda. session of the Senate Committee on h. terstate Commerce James H. Hiland, third vice-president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, said in part; .,. on,aot,o,. to n,.o,, ., the rate making power in the hands of the Interstate Commerce Commits sion:
 Tt gives the commission power to limit the earning capacity of the rail- ways by investing 1t with authority to make rates, without providing means that will prevent nullitication of the commissions order by relative reduc- tions on the part of competing rail- ways, thereby maintaining the core lation of rates originally complained of and thus compelling reductions in reve- nues without resulting in correspond ing benefit to the complainants.
 T do not believe that it Is possible for any commission establish inter state rates in all parts of the United States in an equitable manner without practical experience and knowledge of the conditions in the localities where relief is demanded. As a rule the traf- 1c officers consider the commercial and physical conditions, the density of traf- ic and the competition of one locality against another; so that these consid- erations further emphasize the state ment that 1t would curtail and limit the earning capacity of the railroads that have overcome disabilities as to the To- cation in both commercial and natural geographical conditions.
 "If the Commission is invested with power to make rates it must use a mileage base in order to maintain a consistent defense of the rates finally determined upon. As an illustration of the injustice that may be done il the making of rates by a commission ap- pointed with such arbitrary power, I might state an inquiry recently made of me why it was that a rate of 50 cents per 100 pounds was considered flair and rAasonabiA on lumbar from

And now the doctors in Russia have joined in the general demand for the end of autocracy. In meeting which represented the entire medical profes
 sion of the empire, they have boldly resolved in favor of free speech and a free press and a representative gov
 ernment instead of a government by the secret police. Such demands are sufficient to convict the doctors of treason, and a year or two ago would have sufficed to send all advocates of such reforms to exile in Siberia. But the movement for popular government has passed beyond the control of the bureaucracy. As Burke once said, 1t is impossible to indict a whole people, and it begins to look as if Nicholas II will soon have an opportunity to choose between reform and abdication.
