lumbiad on the opposite wharf pointed
directly across the schooner's deck, on
which was stationed a sentinel ready to
fire; 2,2O0 marines in the Navy Yard
barracks; the Notifications extending
from the yard to the entrance of the
harbor, and a guard boat continually
patrolling 1t. With all this staring us
In the face, Col. Brown remarked that
1t was "the easiest thing in the world.'
The result will show. The Colonel was
asked:
Suppose the boats are fired on?''
He replied: Let them do that, and
the ball will be opened" The officer
remarked:
Il am glad to know that; for our
boats will, If successful, pull directly
across. under Santa Rosa, to avoid
your fire."
On Bailey's return to the Colorado.
after consulting with Flag Officer Mer-
vine, he sent for Lieut. John H. Rus

(now Rear-AdmiraD, and offered him
the command of an expedition to de-
stroy the Judah, which Lieut. Russell

would be allowed to select his officers,
proposing that they should go on shore,
see Col. Brown and talk the matter
over.' To this Capt. Bailey consented,
and on the same evening, Sept. II, 1861,
Capt Bailey and Lieut.. Russell visited
Fort Pickens, and after going over the
whole situation, examining the position
of the schooner, even Col. Brown was
forced to admit that the attempt was
not only hazardous, but desperate.
Here was no chance of escape, no as
sistance: officers and crew of the Col
orado. who would gladly risk their
lives with you for that dear old flag,
must calmly look on five miles from
you and witness your defeat and death
(for they followed each other), or your
triumphant success"
Still nothing daunted, Lieut.. Rus
sell determined to go-and succeed,
perhaps, with his death.

A red flag was hoisted and cries were
heard of Long live independent Poland!'
Pistols were fired and presently a military

ordered the troops to fire on the crowd.
A workingman shot the colonel dead and
the adjutants bayoneted the assassin and

RAILROADS DO NOT NEED IT.
Interstate Commerce Commission Pow
erless to Check Abuses.

III the interstate commission were
worth buying the railroads would try to
buy It, They have bought pretty nearly
everything in this country that is worth
buying. and the only reason they have not
tried to purchase the commission Is that
this body is valueless in it's ability to cor
rect railroad abuses"
iris statement was made by Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Charles A. Prouty
IN chicago recently, in a discussion of
legalized pooling. Asked, in view of this
statement whether it would be wise to
give commission control over rates. the
commissioner replied:
me public must trust some one. and
tnat would be the best remedy it is posi-
o ore 10 OBTAIN under existing conditions. I
am aware, however. that the great danger
would lie in the possibility of the body to
winch should be intrusted the guardian
its duty"
Because of possibility of purchase by
the railroad interests?" he was asked
Yes, but not in the sense of an actual
cash transaction. The railroads, it is we'll
known. own many Of our courts and other
public bodies, but not because they have of
necessity bought them by the expenditure
OF money: They have different way of
DONG things. They see to it that the
rlght men, the men of friendly inclinations,
are elected. There would exist the danger
OF their doing this in the case of a STRONG
OF men who would sit idly by and do moth
ing of value
Asked his opinion of Secretary Paul Nor
tons pooling plan, Commissioner Prouty
said:
Rate control by commission would
come far from removing all the evils that
attend the pooling of railway earnings
The people are concerned in only two
things In connection with the railroads
the facility of service and the rate. In my
opinion there is no longer any competition
as to rates worth mentioning. The only
thing the people have left is competition
as to the facility.
Five years ago there was great in
ducement to permit pooling because it
might remove the temptation to pay re-
bates. l believe the payment of rebates
as such has ceased. We still have the
private car, the industrial railroad and the
elevator charge
THE thing the public has most to fear in
the future is discrimination in the pub
lished rate, not departure from it. / do
not believe the Standard Oil receives
bates, but it makes the tariff and writes
into them all sorts of determinations in
it's favor. So also with the sugar trust
and the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
Il have, however, always believed that
railroads should be permitted to form as
sOciations with view to discussing rate
situations and insuring uniformity. but 1
insist that the public should have ample
representation upon such associations

Scientists Close Meeting.

The annual convocation of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science came to an end Saturday in Phil
adelpha. This convention has been the
most successful in the history of the as
sociation both from the standpoint of at
tendance and the variety and number of
important topics discussed. The papers
read at the present gathering have been
more of a popular nature than those of
any previous one.
Saturdays proceedings began with meet
ing of the general body in the. college
chapel A short address was made by
President Farrow, in which he congratu
lated the scientists on the great success of
the convention. He was followed by sew
eral other members who made brief
speeches.
The general meeting took up about an
hour after which several of the affiliated
societies went into session to dispose of un-
finished business.

For the first time in the history of United
Italy, clerical aldermen were among the
officials who went to the Quirinal at Rome
yesterday to extend New Year greetings to
King Emmanuel. 1t is reported that the
clerical aldermen had consulted Pope Plus
X as to their attending the kings recep-

their duty as loyal citizens. Among the
many subjects discussed al the reception
at the Quirinal, the king showed especial
interest in the war in the far east and the
situation at Port Arthur
