NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
Armour Car Lines Threaten to Quit
Business,

Washington, Feb. 14.-George 3.
Robbins, president of the Armour car
lines, stated Saturday that should
congress enact legislation which would
result in reducing their refrigeration
charges to any extent his company
would withdraw from the business.
Mr.. Robbins is very frank about the
matter.
1--WE are in business to make fair
profit" he says, "In making our charg-
es, we estimate the expense of handling
the business and add a fair percent
age for profits. Notwithstanding the
enormous sums it has been alleged we
have made from this business, every
dollar of net revenue from the opera
ton of our car lines and enormous
sums besides have been invested to
improve the service. We have been
reducing our charges until today we
give a much better service for less
money than ever before. If congress
should SO legislate that we will be un-
able to earn fair return on our in
vestment, we will be compelled to 60
out of business"

food by this congress-" said Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, Saturday.
"There is no time now to take up this
important matter. Only a few days re-
main before the expiration Of this con-
gress and the majority of the appro-
priation bills are yet to be acted on.
Some of these will be debated at con-
siderable length and the senate also
has the impeachment proceedings

the most favorable circumstances can
see no opportunity for it to devote the
time to a discussion of pure food leg

food legislation no one conservant
with the subject can deny. hope
and expect to see such law enacted
by the fifty-ninth congress"

the strictest manner the obligations
incumbent upon neutral power.
The, lengthiest paragraph, devoted to
the Balkans, says the situation con-
tinues to give cause for anxiety.
More than usual interest attaches to
today's opening of parliament as the
belief is practically universal it will
be the last session of the present par

New York, Feb. 14.--The following is
the substance of the speech of Senator
Dollver, delivered at the Republican
Club banquet:

Lincoln, once despised, once derided,
once distrusted and maligned, has been
transfigured in the light of universal
history so that all men and all genera
ton of men may see him and make out
if possible the manner of man he was.
Some have told us that he was Il
great lawyer. He was nothing of the
sort. Some tell us that he was great
orator. IL that is so the standard of
the schools, ancient and modern must
be thrown away. He has been descrb-
ed as a great statesman II by that
YOU mean that he was trained in the
administrative mechanism of the gov
ernment or that he was wiser than his
day in the creed of the party in whose
fellowship he passed his earlier years,
there is little evidence of that at all.

stature But while he lived hardly
anybody was able to take his meas

SYMPATHY WITH KANSAS.
Resolutions Passed by Western Oil
Mems Association.

Tole 10, o.. Feb. 1d.-At a meeting
Saturday OF the Western Oil Mems AS
socis,tion. composed of crude oil pro-
!'ucers in Trenton rock oil fields ot
Ohio and Indiana. the situation In
Kansas was discussed by the thirty
or forty members present and the fol-
lowing resolutions We're unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved Q). That it is the sense
of the producers and others Interested
here assembled that the state of KAN
sas is entitled TO the sympathy ana
moral support of the oil trade every
where in it's contest with the Standard
Oil Company.
SO That in the recent action of the
said company in promulgating the eX-
traordinary order suspending opera
tions in the Kansas field 1t has violated
high class business principles and been
guilty of AN act that is against good
public policy.
"3. That we hereby heartily indorse
the Kansas legislature in it's efforts to
secure relief to the trade and to see
that justice be done.
~. That in view of the fact that the
by the company we hope that the state
will see that the independent producers
have n square deal and are supported
in a substantial manner in their efforts
to obtain relief from an oppressive
situation.
rs. That in maintaining their priority
rights they should receive all necessary
aid not only from the state but from
oil producers in all other fields.
Resolved. That copy of these reso-
luptions be forwarded to the speaker
of the house at Topeka, Kas."
1t was the consensus of opinion that
the Standard Oil Company in suspend
ing all work in the Kansas fields was
due not so much to the refinery bill
now before the legislature of that
state as to the bill making pipe lines
common carriers.

RUSSIAN LOSSES
FOR PAST YEAR
Official Report Of the Casualties,
Exclusive of Port Arthur,
Is Given Out
OVER FIFTY THOUSAND KILLED
Large Number of the Wounded Have
Been Thru the Hospital and Are
Again In the Ranks-Adniral Togo
Starts Out In Search of the Baltic
Fleet.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 14.-Official re-
turns for the first year OF the war not
including Port Arthur statistics, show
that 13O,4a9 officers and men passed
thru the hospitals going north, OF
which number 4.007 subsequently died
and over 1900 presumably returned
to the ranks. These figures do not in
clude those killed on the field of battle
nor those slightly injured. The pro-
portion dying in the hospitals is very
low, the total loss to the active army
in wounded and sick being little over
$4,000, of whom almost half have still
a chance of returning to the ranks. The
other half will be invalided or return
ed to Russia. The killed in battle is
estimated at forty to fifty thousand.
Current rumors of trouble on the
holiday tomorrow on which occasion
it has been reported the revolutionar-
les had planned an armed uprising
seem to be totally without foundation.
The Associated Press has been inform
ed at headquarters of the governor
general there is not the slightest appre-
hension as to renewal of disorders. On
the contrary it is reported the greatest
confidence prevails that the measures
taken will prove satisfactory to work
men as the latter will be heard re-
gardins, formulation of new laws and
adjustment of existing differences. The
political side of the agitation is con-
Sidered no longer a serious factor at
present.
