YANKEE SHIP Is LOST.
Russia Says She Knows Nothing Of
the Steamer.

st. Petersburg, May S1.-Nothing is
known at the admiralty Of the report
ed sinking of an unknown American
steamer of Formosa by Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky. 1t is recognized at the
admiralty as quite possible that Ro-
jestvensky may have been compelled
by military necessity to destroy a neu.
trail. II he feared that to allow it to
proceed and report the whereabouts
and direction OF the Russian feet,
would endanger his strategic plan, he
had no other alternative except to take
of the crew and sink the ship. Such
an incident is unfortunate, but every
naval officer must admit that the risk
in such a crisis is too great to take
any chances. If this ship was un-
justifiably sunk from the standpoint
of international law Russia, of course,
will have to foot the bills; but any
cost is cheap If 1t furthered Roles

BY a decision given recently by the
secretary of the interior. many thou
sand acres of the school land of the
state, including that which is most
valuable, are to be preserved to the
state. The decision is by far the mos
important given in land matter In
many years, and probably the mos
important that was ever given in 9
matter in which the state was a party
with the exception of the Northern Pa
cine lanQ cases.
The secretary holds that these lands
claimed by the state for school lands
are more valuable for minerals than
for agriculture, and though such lands
were known to contain minerals prior
to the date Of the admission of the
state into the union, the lands may be
held by the state as school lands, not
withstanding their mineral character
unless they had been located OF
claimed as mineral land prior to No

mineral were known prior thereto

RAILROAD RATES.
Senator Elkins is Preparing a Bill
to Abolish Rebates.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Senator
Elkins of West Virginia, who as
chairman of the committee on inter-.
state commerce is preparing a meas'
ure to abolish rebates and meet the
recommendation of the president, as
expressed in his recent message, says
that inasmuch as the United States
supreme court had decided that the
fixing of a railroad rate is a legis-
lative and not judicial power, no at
tempt should be made to give the
interstate commerce commission a
rate-fixing power.
In his bill Senator Elkins will en-
deavor to confer upon a circuit court
the authority to declare when a rate
is excessive. so that the rate may be
sent back to the railroad to be lower
ed The functions of the court, he
thinks, would not interfere with the
interstate commerce commission.

Will Ask for Revision of the
Tariff.
Also Intends 20 Use His Influence 10
Secure Freight Rate Lcgis-
lation.
A SPECIAL SESSION Is LIKELY.

Washington. Jan. 11.-President
Roosevelt favors the earliest possible
action looking to revision of the
tariff by congress. He so informed
the senator's and representatives who
were in conference with him at the
Wbhe House last Saturday, and he
has made plain his position to others
since the conference. He will call
the Fifty-Ninth congress into extra
ordinary session as soon as the com
mlttees have indicated that they are
prepared to submit a tariff measure
for passage.
IL has been pointed out by tariff
experts of the house and senate, that
II will require many weeks to pre-
pare a measure for submission to the
house. So far as the president is
concerned, he would be willing to
have congress i'm session during the
summer. He has indicated his entire
readiness to remain i'm Washington
next summer IL congress will under
take at that time consideration of a
tariff measure. II is believed, how
ever. If an extraordinary session
should be called. it will be called TO
meet probably in October.
On the question of legislation re-
lating to interstate freight rates of
railroads, the presidents mind is
quite made up. He will fight for that
legislation and fight hard He hopes
to secure from congress some def
mite action regarding that legislation
at the present session; but II he does
not he will bring the subject up again
before congress at the proposed ex-
traordinary session and will urge
with all his power crystalization into
law of the recommendation he al
ready has made to congress on that
question. The president regards 1t as
paramount issue at this time, far
more important than the proposed
revision of the tariff. He spoke plain
- n is stated. of his views at the con-
ference Saturday, concerning the
freight rate question. The express
sion of his attitude on the subject led
to a free interchange of opinions re-
garding it, but no conclusions could
be reached at that time.
