Mems Winning Str:ak.
BosToN, May 2aCien. Joseph Wheeler
gave these impressions of yesterdays sea
battle to a reporter to-day: while l have
been unable to digest the details of the great
sea battle bet ween the Japanese and the
Russians, it would seem from the brief
newspa per accounts that the little brown
men had been keeping up their winning
streak and that Admiral Togo had carved
an ,indying name for himself in the annals
of Japan.
IF the Japanese have captured or sunk
sixteen ships Of war, as there is every rea-
son to believe, it would seem to me that the
naval power of Russia had been seriously
crippled as among the sunk or captured
vessels are some Of its best fighting ma
chinery."

hasten the end Of the war?'
"To answer such question would he

who has not been to the Far Fast and studied

TRIP THROUGH THE TERRITORY
President Roosevelt Paid Much Atten-
ton to the Children.

Muskogee, L T., April MANY in
teresting incidents marked the trip of
President Roosevelt through Indian
Territory. All along the line he showed
marked attention to children. At Wag-
Oner the only person who was allowed
to shake his hand was a little boy. a
large crowd of men rushed to the back
platform of the presidents car and ex-
tended their hands towards Mr.. Roose-
velt. Acting under the instructions of
secret service men, he declined to shake
hands with them. A little boy, however,
who some way got in the van of the
crowd, climbed up on the railing of the
car and offered his hand to the presi-
dent.
III have to shake hands with the
boy, anyhow" said the president. He
grasped his hand warmly. All along
the line he was greeted by thousands OF
carrying American flags. At Muskogee
the first person with whom he shook
hands after his speech were two little
girls. He did not make a single ad-
dress in Indian Territory in which he
failed to mention the children and show
them some sign of favor. He especial
ly expressed his commentator of the
quantity as well as the quality Of the
children he saw in the different towns.

gave the president two Indian ball
sticks, bearing a. card with these words
ITO Kermit Roosevelt. From Connie
and Joe Roberts. The president thank
ed the donors and said taht he would
see that his son got the sticks. These
sticks are used by the fullbloods in
playing Indian ball.
Before the train reached BIuskogee it
was reported that Judge c. W. Ray
mOnd, who was recently eXonerated in
Washington after an investigation,
would return home on the presidents s
train. A gentleman bearing a close re-
semblance to Judge Raymond stepped
out of the rear coach as the train stop
ped, and one man nudged his COmrade
and shouted: There is Judge Ray
mond. Just then the man in question
produced a big camera, and, sticking
his head under a. huge cloth, prepared
to take a picture Of the crowd. Then
it dawned upon the man who had
nudged his neighbOr that the stranger
and not Judge Raymond, and the crowd
laughed heartily at him.

Interferes With Operation of Mont

Chicago, April IA serious blockade
of the north end of State street bridge
was broken by Assistant Chief of Police
SchuettIer after a number of teamsters
and other persons had been arrested in
a. rush by the police. The wagons un-
der police escort finally reached the
freight houses Of the Chicago & North
western railroad. In returning to Mont
gomery Ward & Co. s stables renewed
difficulties were encountered. At Cass
and Indiana streets nearly 5000 persons
made q concerted rush toWaE1 the sta
bles to head off the wagons. The police
after a vigorous fight with the crowd
cleared a path for the trucks The sta
bles were closed.

be of profit to themselves and OF ad-
vantage to all of US. I should be
most reluctant wiz put it stronger
than that should absolutely refuse
to be party to any measure, to any
proposition that irterfered with the
proper and legitir-ate prosperity OF
those men; and Iffhould feel that such
a measure was a med not only at IneTn
but at all of us, for an attack upon
the legitimate prosperity of any Of US
is in the long run sure to turn into an
attack upon all. With that pr0Vlso
(as to which I ask you to remember
that Z mean literally every WOrd)s let
me further add that the public has
right. not a privilege, but in my view
a duty to see that there is in its behalf
exercised such a supervisory and reg
ulatory power over the railroads as
viii insure that while they give fair
treatment themselves they get It IN
ssThe proper exercise of that power
is conditioned upon the securing of
uroper legislation which will enable
the representatives of the public to
see that any unjust or discriminating
rates are altered so as to be just
and fair rate and are altered imme-
diately.
81 know perfectly we'll that when
you give that power there is chance
of its being occasionally abused.
There is no power that can be given
to the representatives of the public
which it is not possible to abuse. As
every one knows, the power OF taxa
ton which must of course be given
to the representative of the people. is
the power of death, for it is possible
to kill any industry by excessive taxa
tion. There must be certain trust
placed in the common sense and com
ron honesty of those who are to en-
force the law. If it ever falls, and I
think it will to my lot to nominate a
board to carry out such q. law, shall
nominate men as far as I am able, on
whose ability, courage and integrity
1 can count; men who viii not be
swayed by any influence whatever,
direct or Indirect, social. political or
any other, to show improper favorit-
ism for the railroad, and who, on the
other hand, if a railroad is unjustly
attacked, no matter if the attack has
behind it the feeling or prejudice of
SO per cent of the people, will stand
up against that attack. That is my

from Chicago outlining the plans of the
Rock Island management confirm the
reports printed several weeks ago in
the State Journal in regard to the i'm
provement work contemplated for this
summer.
AS printed heretofore it is indicated
that the Rock Island will spend about
S300,000 in replacing bridges on the KAN
sas division with new steel structures.
Nearly a million dollars will be re-
quIred to do the ballasting and replace
the steel rails with heavier rails.
Almost as much work viii be done on
the FL Paso division where Mr.. Taylor,
who was formerly located in Topeka
will be in charge
In this connection it is interesting to
know the amount Of money which will
be spent in Kansas for Improvements
this year by all the railroads.
The Rock Island Improvement work
calls for the expenditure in Kansas of
upwards of one and a quarter million
dollars.
The double track work on the Union
Pacific between Kansas City and To-
peka and the branch line from Topeka
to Onaga and Marysville call for the
expenditure Of about two millions OF
dollars.

WILL MARYSVILLE LOSE
Union Pacific Has ordered Adjourn
ment of Condemnation Board.

Marysville, Kan, April THE Ad-
vocate-Democrat says:
At the meeting of the condemnation
board for Marshall county, held in this
city last Saturday, the board received
orders from the Union Pacific Railroad
company to adjourn permanently. This
has caused a great deal of speculation
in Marshall county. Many people look
upon this action as a bluff on the part
of the railroad company to prepare the
people of this county for a bonus that
will be asked by the company before
the company enters either Frankfort or
MarySVille.
One thing which confirms people in
this belief is the fact that purchasing
agents for the Union Pacific have been
over the entire proposed route contract
ing for feed for future delivery. The
conservative men say that if the pro-
posed road had been abandoned this
feed would not have been needed, or if
it had been needed it would have been
bought along a railroad that could have
hauled it to Onaga. AS it is now, the
feed win have to be hauled by wagon
to stations to be loaded on trains and
taken by a roundabout way to the scene
OF activity.
Some time ago the people of Frank
fort felt that the road would not be
built into that town unless a subsidy
was put up to secure it, and therefore
they are doubtless confirmed in the be
lief that the road will yet be built, but
that they must pay for it.
Opinion seems to differ in Marysville
as to whether or not the city should put
up a bonus to secure the road. Some
are of the opinion that the road will
have to come here to make connections
with the St. J. & G. L, to Grand Island
Neb., to form the connecting link ir
the Union Pacific's transeontinenta
line. They are opposed to any bonus
being given by the city. Then there are
others who are of the opinion thai
Marysville cannot afford to pass up the
proposition of getting the road through
the town. They claim that even though
the division is not located here it will be
a great advertisement for the town tt
be located on the through line Of {
great system like the Union Pacific.
There is nothing definite that can be
said in regard to the action of the Un-
ion Pacific in its orders to the con
denanation board. It is all a matter Of
conjecture and people viii await witt
some anxiety the next move on the pari
of the railroad company.
Graders are at work on the line be-
tween Topeka. and Onaga- Sub-con-
tracts were let to 14s different men and
they are all at work. Each sub-con-
tractor has from one to three miles oi
the right of way to grade. The work
/ is being pushed rapidly and there seems
to be no doubt that trains will be Op-
Grated as far as between Topeka and
Onaga before winter. The attitude OF
the railroad company in abandoning the
work in Marshall county between Onage
and Marysville is unaceountable.
