decision on Terminal charge.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission, in a decision
today in the Chicago live stock termi-
nal charge case, holds that the deliv-
cry of cars of stock to the Union Stock
Yards in Chicago, which was done
without charge additional to the
freight rate, was in no sense a graf
uity, having been included in the rate;
that outside of the included territory,
a terminal charge for delivery to the
Union Stock Yards in Chicago of 81
per car Is reasonable and that defen-
dants terminal charge of 81 per car
exacted since June /, 1894, is unrea-
sonable. The commission retains the
case for further proceedings in the
matter of reparation.

HOW TO KEEP THEM OUT.

How to keep undesirable emigrants out of this country is one of the prob lems. Ex-Consul Frankenthal has an
 idea which is simple and yet appar- ently comprehensive. He calls atten-
 ton to the fact that merchandise is more carefully inspected than immi- grants, in that every article of freight must be invoiced with a full description of its quality. the place of production, etc., and that these facts must be cer- tifled to by the consul of the district from which the goods are imported.
 His suggestion regarding immigrants is that the same method be applied to them. He points out how easily this can be done by reason of the care which all foreign communities take in
 recording the births and deaths of peo-
 pie, and in keeping on file complete in- formation about each individual. MT Frankenthal estimates the number of immigrants taken from the criminal
 classes as twenty per cent. of the total. In this he is in general accord with many other observers, and his proposi- ton for a certificate of character to be
 presented by each immigrant involves inspection at the point of departure
 With so many interested in getting
 undesirable emigrants in it is hard to keep them out. But progress toward keeping them out is being made, and
 more may be.

SOME MAIL.

There doesn't seem to be any more end to the sending of postal cards than there is to the making of books. It ap- pears that in the matter of postal cards the German empire heads the list with no fewer than 1,161, 100000 posted there during a year. Even the United States, whose population is about one-half in excess of that of Germany, can boast of only 77O, 100000 of those missives, Great Britain comes next, with 613,O0O,- 000 Japan, which previously used next to Germany more postal cards, is now fourth on the list with 4S7, 100000. The inhabitants of Germany alone there fore, are now availing themselves of nearly as many post cards as the Unit ed States and Japan together Other countries are greatly left behind in the race, not one of them reaches the num- Der of 300,000,000. Individually there came, in millions, upon Austria, 291; the East Indies (British India), 254, and Russia, IA. All the rest show a num- Der of less than 10O,00O,OO0, namely, Belgium, 63,OOO,OOO; Denmark, 6,OOOOOO; France, 70,O00,OOO; Spain, 13,O00OOO; Hungary, 8S,O0O,OOO; Italy 85,OOOOOO; the Netherlands, 59,OOO,00O; Norway, 5OOO,- 900; Portugal, 11,O0O,O ,OO0; Sweden 4, 3,OOO,- 900, and Switzerland, 53,OOO,0OO As to letters, however, the United States is far ahead of all other countries. The total number of letters posted here dur ing 1903 was 4,1O9,OOO,OO0. Great Britain follows in it's wake with 2,597 1000, O00 and then Germany with 1,648,000, 900. The said three countries together have, therefore, each posted upward of 1,OO0- O0O,O00 letters. France counts for oyer half a milliard, namely, S44, 900, 0O0 With less than half a milliard are Austria with 464,OOO,OOO, Hungary with 127,0OO,- GOO, the East Indies with 258, ,000 0O0, Ja- pan with 2OS,OOOO0O, Norway with 3D. 100000, the Netherlands with S6,OOOOOO, Russia with 349,OOOOOO, Switzerland with 94,OOO,OOO and Sweden with S1,OO0,- 0OO.

BICYCLES TN VAR.

I If the Japanese used bicycles in their war they did not use them extensively enough to attract much attention to them. As they used everything useful, they would have used the bicycle had they thought it would be useful. It is interesting to read that at the autumn manoeuvres of the French army there will be extensive employment of infan- try mounted on bicycles. The plan was disapproved last March by some of the highest military authorities, including the Minister of War and the Chief of the General Staff; but it had warm advocate in General Langlois, who de- fends his opinions principally on the ground of the difference in the strat- egy of the French, as opposed to that of the German army. In the event of war Germany would adopt the plan of envelopment, France that of manoeu- vre. The method of envelopment is best suited to nation with superior numbers and power of rapid mobiliza- ton; that of n1anoeuvre requires great mobility, which General Langlois thinks can we'll be attained by bicycle corps. Infantry mounted on horses is too slow; cavalry is not so, effective. But troops on bicycles can be trans ferred with great speed from one point to another. Bicyclists take Up more space in marching than does infantry, but they move more quickly; they are not more exposed than others to offen- sive attack, for they can readily dis mount. Obstacles will not arrest their advance, because the wheel is easily carried.
 And so forth and so on. We hope that if the French are going to war on bicycles they will find good roads wher- ever they go.
