The city, which Is gayly decorated. Is
full of rumors OF Russian victory.
The tension in naval circles is very
great. Definite news OF the meeting OF
the Russian and Japanese fleets is ex-
pected hourly. The dispatch from Toxic
saying 1t was rumored that the fleets had
already engaged in the straits OF Korea
aroused intense interest at the Admir-
atty, but nothing confirmatory has been
received there up to the time this dis
patch was fled. The majority of the Of
ficers were inclined to doubt the ac-
curacy of the Toxic report. believing that
Rojestvensky with his lighting ships is
heading northward for the eastern part
of Japan
Others. on the contrary consider IL
quite likely that Rojestvensky after pass

At first it was believed that the Rus
SLAMS had divided their fleet and the
greater part of 1t had proceeded around
the Pacific coast of Japan to join the
Russian fleet at vladivostok- 1t became
known only to-day that the main body
of the Russian fleet, including the bat
tleships. cruisers and gunboats, was pro-
ceeding through the narrow straits which
divide Japan from the main land of Ko-
rea. Here Togo, who, there is no ques-
tion, has followed every movement OF
the enemy, was prepared. to meet the
whole Russian force. In fact, it is be-
lieved here that he enticed the enemy
into the narrow straits so that, should
any of his forces be crippled, he would
have friendly harbors at hand, where his
ships could find refuge.

Manitou park consists of $1,000 acres

MARINE SUBSIDIES.
Bill Introduced to Foster American
Shipping.

WaShington.-The supplemental re-
port and revised bill of the merchant
marine commission were presented in
the Senate by Chairman Gallagher and
In the house by Representative Gros-
venor.
The revised bill. according to the es-
innate of the commission, will produce
an increased revenue from the new
tonnage taxes of S1,900,000 in the first
year of the operation of the bill from
July l, 1906. to June 80, 1907. 1t Is es-
timated by the commission that the ac-
tual expenditures on account of the
bill in the first year of operation will
be S150,000 for naval volunteer, retain
ers; s666,250 for mail subventiOns to
new lines, and $67 900 for the increase
of mail subventions to two existing
lines, total of $1,2S3,250.
In the second year, from July /, 1907,
to June 80, 1908. the general subven-
tions to cargo vessels earned the year
before will become payable and the
commission estimates that these sub
ventions will call for an expenditure
of $1,250,000. The mail subventions
to new lines the second year will call
for $1,500,000, the naval volunteer re-
tainers for 100000 and an increase or
mail subventions to two existing lines
for $4,000 a total expenditure of $3,-
100000 and the increased tonnage
taxes will yield an increased revenue
estimated at s1,S00,000 in the second
year.
In the third year the commission es.
Inmates that the net cost to the treas
ury will be $3,313.000, and that this
sum may be increased by about $780,,
900 a year for several years thereafter.
1t is stated that Great Britain is now
spending between $6,OO0,000 and ST.
100000 annually on subventiors to her
merchant marine; France upward o,
$S,000,000: Italy upward of $4,000, 900,
and Japan probably close to 100000
and that the merchant marines OF
all these nations. especially those OF
Italy and Japan. are showing very
rapid increase.

To Open Red Mountain Line.

Denver.-A Silverton special to the
Republican says: Otto Mears, owner
and manager of the Silverton North
ern railroad. and of the Silverton g.
Red Mountain railroad, has arrived in
camp for the purpose of taking steps
to clear the Red MoulSain road of
snow and reopen the line for freight
traffic. For the last two weeks the
road has been out of commission. 1t
will probably cost $1,000 to reopen the
line, but Mr. Mears thinks the end will
justify the cost.
The mines in the Red Mountain dis
trict are short of fuel, owing to the
early closing of the railroad and the
Crawford syndicate alone wants 1000
tons of coal. Other mining properties
need coal and it is likely that the Red
Mountain railroad will be kept busy
as long as the line can be kept open
in hauling fuel and supplies to the
mines. A large force of men will be
employed and it is hoped to have
trains running again inside of ten
days.

annual report says: "The work of the
Bureau of Corporations has developed
along the lines indicated in the first
annual report of the commissioner. Its
most important work of legal nature
has been the further study of the plan
proposed In the first report for the SUI
pervision and regulation, by federal
license, of corporations, engaged in in
terstate and foreign commerce. The
inadequacy of state legislation to reg
ulate or control in any proper measure
the corporations engaged in interstate
commerce has been most clearly DEM
onstrated. The great railway systems
and the greater industrial corporations
extending their operations through
many states, some through the entire
United States, are but nominally SUI
pervised or controlled by the states
from which their charters were OBJ
tanned. Some of these corporations
have shown not only disregard for
state laws. but have become potent fac
tors in directing the political policies
of the state.
THE federal license plan recognizes
that real supervision, real regulation.
can only be enforced by a government
whose jurisdiction and power are great
enough to cope with the corporations
