grant, willfui and Continuous viola
tion OF the law during the last five
years, was the way in which the
Santa Fe railroad is arraigned in "a
decision promulgated yesterday by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
on the alleged unlawful rates and
practices of that road in the transpor-
tation of coal and mine supplies. in
volving also the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Co. The main points of the de-
cision summarizing the way in which
il is alleged that the law has been
violated and disregarded are as fol-
lows: The act to regulate commerce
requires carriers to publish and ad-
here to their tariffs. The A. T. & S. F.
Railway has for the last five years
wilfully and continuously violated
the provisions of the law in the re-
spects above stated. On February 10
the so-called Ell1ins bill was enacted
providing that carriers should in no
case engage in transport traffic until
their tariffs had been published, and
providing a penalty of not less than
81 900 or more than $4,000 for each
offense. The provisions of this statute
extend to both the railroad company
ceives concessions. Both the Santa
Fe railroad and the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Co. have systematically and con-
tinuously violated the provisions of
this act. 1t would seem that the Ell
Paso and Southwestern railroad was
also involved in the violation of the
statute. but that company was not a
party to the proceedings and had not
been heard. 1t should be further OBJ
served that on March 25. 1902, the
U. S. Circuit Court in a suit begun

Interstate Commerce Commission, en-

Fe Railway Co. to observe in all re-
spects its published schedules of
rates. That company from the date
of this injunction down to November
27th, 1904. was apparently in contin-
uous disregard of that order of the
court in its failure to maintain these
coal tariffs.
The alleged infraction OF the law
was first called to the attention of
the Commission by the claim OF the
Caledonia Coal Co, operating a coal
mine at Gallup. New Mexico. that
the Santa Fe was discriminating ag-
ainst it in favor of the Colorado Fuel
& Iron Co. The contract of the Gale

STOESSEL INTERVIEWED

Denies That Port Arthur Surrendered
Prematurely.-Other War News.
Colombo, Ceylon, Feb General
Stoessel, former commander at Port
Arthur, and the Russian officers and
other troops arrived here today by
way of Shanghai on board the French
line steamer Australian
In an interview with a correspond
ent of the Associated Press General
Stoessel denied the statement pub
lished to the effect that Port Arthur
surrendered prematurely. He was es-
-pecially indignant at the statements
made by the London newspapers on
January 25th in dispatches from Pc
kin that there were at the time of
the surrender 25,0O0 able bodied men
in Port Arthur capable of making
sorties with hundred officers and
that they were well nourished and
had plenty of ammunition, the larg-
est M gazine being untouched and
full to the roof and that there were
ample supplies of food for three
months even if no fresh supplies had
been received.
The General characterized these
Statements as unhjustified and not sup
ported by facts. Col. Reiss, who was
among the negotiators of the surren-
have held out a moment longer. 1t
would have been murder. Only fifteen
roubles remained in the military trea
sury out of million and a half at
the commencement of the siege. Four
hundred men we're dying daily at the
hospitals. principally from wounds
and scurvy. General Kondratenko
was the hero of the siege" Col. Reiss
further declared that the Japanese
were admirable soldiers, but poor in
the use of bayonets compared with
the Russians and French. General
Stoessel and his party trans-shipped
at Port Said and sailed for Odessa.

THINK IT OVER.
SonaethIsm rsa Can See in any Resfau.
 rant 8r Cafe.

A physician puts the query: Have you never noticed in any large restau- rant at Iunoh or dinner time the large number of hearty, vigorous old men at the rsbiess men whose ages run from 60 to 80 years; many of them bald and all perhaps gray. but none of them feeble or senile9 4
 Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to have escaped your observation or comment, but nevertheless it is an ob- ject lesson which means something.
 If you will notice what these hearty old fellows are eating you will observe that they are not munchings bran crack CTS, nor gingerly picking their way through menu card of new fangled health foods; on the contrary they seem to prefer Juicy roast of beef, a properly turned loin of mutton, and even the deadly broiled lobster is not altogether ignored.
 The point of all this is that vigorous old age depends upon good digestion upon dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran crackers.
 There is certain class of food cranks who seem to believe that meat, coffee, and many other good things are rank poisons, but these cadaverous, sick looking individuals are walking con- demnation of their own theories.
 The matter in a nutshell is that if the stomach secretes the natural digestive juices in sufficient quantities any wholesome food will be promptly di- gested; if the stomach does not do so, and certain foods cause distress, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will remove all difficulty, be- cause they supply just what every weak stomach lacks pepsin, hydro-chloric acid, diastase and nux.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act upon the bowels, and are in fact are not strictly medicine, as they act almost entirely upon the food eaten, digesting the food eaten, digesting it thoroughly, and thus gives a much needed rest and giving an appetite for the next meal.
 Of people who travel nine out of ten use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, know ing them to be perfectly safe to use at any time and also having found out by experience that they are safeguard against indigestion in any form, and eating, as they have to, at all hours and all kinds of food, the travelling pub lie for years have pinned their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized packages, and any druggist from Maine to California, if his opinion were asked, will say that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets is the most popular and successful remedy for. any stomach trouble. . .s.s 4:
