The commission should have authority
to require the railway companies, upon
reasonable notice, to furnish all the cars
requisite to accommodate shippers.
The commission should be authorized
to require reasonably adequate train SER
vice on all lines, designating, wherever
the action Of the railway company makes
1T necessary, the minimum number of
trains that shall run at convenient hours
for the travelling public to reach centers
of trade, and reasonable connection with
the service of other lines; to provide
proper station accommodations and tele-
graph service.
In Wisconsin at present the railroads
are supreme.
However technical and scientific rate
making is in the abstract, as practiced
by the railroads, there is little of scien-
tlhc application and less justice.
Party preference or prejudice should
in no way influence the selection of men,
bers of this (the railroad) commission.
They should be men of the highest in
tegrity, of marked industry, and who
possess special fitness and power for the
important service demanded of them.
Protection from danger to life and
limb of travellers and trainmen on rail-
way cars should be safeguarded by the
use of every modern appliance known to
be efficient.
The participation in government of the

STRAITS

LONDON, May 31.-The Daily

that the captain of the Russian
cruiser Admiral Nakhimoff, who is
now a prisoner, relates the follow

Japanese and Russian fleets.
eve first saw the japanese at 6
o'clock on the morning of May 81
when suddenly and unexpectedly
we encountered the enemy's feet
as we were moving to the east of
Tsu island. They steamed toward
us and opened fire. Only ninety
minutes after the firing began a
a sudden shock was felt under the
Admiral Nakhimoff and she began
to sink with great rapidity, My
belief is that she either struck a
mine or a torpedo. My crew
numbered 900 men, majority OF

there was no time to get the men
on deck.

THE SCANDINAVIAN TROUBLE


HONOLULU June 8.-The p.
C. Advertiser of today says
Norway has never been satisfied
with her compact of 1914 with
Sweden and her desire for COM
plete autonomy has been encourag-
ed by Russia, a power which, for
her own purposes, wants the Sean
dinavian kingdoms to be divided.
The Norwegians felt that they were
getting the worst of the agreement
because the over-shadowing i'm
portantance of Sweden gave her
the inside route commercially and
politically; Especially grievous
was the preponderance of Swedish
consuls who sent trade to their own
part of the kingdom rather than
to Norway. After demanding
separate consuls in vain, Norway s
legislative body, the Storthing,
finally passed a consular bill which
King Oscar vetoed. In anticipa-
ton of this veto Norway accumu-
lated war material, mined some
strategic bridges and heavily gar
risoned her forts and is now in a
position Of defense.

dition of the vessels sunk at Port
Arthur, it is on the very best
authority that no less than five Of
the battleships have already been

that one or two of these craft took
part in the recent battle.
With these five battleships ad.

can easily be repaired, she will
