anything, 1t will be strengthened by n
fow changes which We have practically
agreed upon. These changes arc an
made with a view to making the BIZ
more specific, and are largely merely
alterations In termin0logy. The son.
ate committee has been having hear.
ings on the subject this summer am
some Of these changes are the result
Of their suggestions.
For Instance, the first bill provided
that the commission should have
power to regulate rates and prac-
tees ! thought and still think that
this provision covered private cars.
But, to make it stronger the private
cars will be specifically mentioned in
the new bill
The object Of the bill is to clot.e
the commission with the power that
IL was always intended 10 have. That
is the power not only TO declare a
rate Illegal, but to substitute for suoh

Toxic. Sept. l3.-The disaster to the
batt.eship Mkasa cast a gloom every
where. 1t was Admiral Togo's flag
ship and was endeared to the hearts
of the people. The ship was at anch,
or in Sasebo harbor when the fire
started at the base of the main mast
at midnight. 1t spread with great
rapidity. exploding the after magazine
an hour after the fire had been dis,
covered. The Mikasa sank in shall.
low water and it is believed can be re
paired. Rescuing parties were sent
from various warships in the harbor
and there were many casualties among
them.
Various conjectures are current as
to the cause of the fire. Some at
tribute it to an overcharge of electric
ity Great relief was fet through
out Japan when it was learned that
Admiral Togo was not on board the
ship at the time of the fire,
The navy department announced
that the Mikasa was destroyed by fire
aud the explosion of her magazine
causing the loss of 500 lives, including
men OF other ships who went TO the
rescue.
The fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight Sunday September
10. Before the officers could be res,
cued the flames reached the aft maya
zine which exploded, blowing hole
in the port side of the vessel below
the water line and causing the ship to
sink. An investigation is being held
to determine the cause of the fire.
