RAILWAY MEN HEARD.
Messrs. Gowan and Campbell Heard on
the Hearst Bill.

Argument in the coal roads case was re-
sumed this morning by Adelhert Moot, spe-
cial counsel for the Erie. Following Mr..
Moot Mr.. Francis l. Gowan, solicitor for
the Pennsylvania railroad. presented his
case in an able manner. He did not follow
the lines outlined by Mr.. Moot, but rather
confined himself to an elaboration of the
work of the Pennsylvania in the coal
freighting trade, and denied that this road
was subject to the charges preferred by the
complainant. -
Following Mr.. 4Gowan. Judge Campbell,
counsel for the Philadelphia and Reading,
took UP the casesfor his client. His pre-
sentation at its opening was an arraign-
ment of IA partisan press which, he said,
had been ciamoring for the disintegration
of the great commercial enterprises which
had made the country what ii is in its in
duStrial achievements.
In his argument yesterday afternoon
Adelbert Moot, special counsel for the Erie,
quoted from the report of the coal strike
commission. which. he said. had stated that
the tendency of the price of anthracite coal
would be to increase. Mr.. Moot said the
commission was asked to reverse the award
of the strike commission. Referring to the
work of the strike commission, he asked il
it was desired now to affect the readjust-
ment of that great strife. When the price
of coal is affected, he said, the wages OF
the labor is affected, adding that to touch
the price of coal through the rate the labor
at the mines is reached.
A reduction of rates was asked, he said,
at time when prices were advancing.
Railroad service, he stated, is largely labor.
Railroads have not the benefit of a long
haul anthracite coal. Mr. Moot said
there were many peculiar conditions to be
taken into consideration in connection with
the transportation of that article. He spoke
of the effect of empty return cars to roads
which were almost exclusively coal-carry-
ing roads. He said it was sought to reduce
remarking that no government would give
power TO any tribunal to regulate the price
of commodities.
Mr.. Moot commended that a reduction in
the price of coal would seriously affect the
independent shipper and restore unfavor-
able conditions existing some years ago.

DUE TO THE EXPERTS.
Secretary Morton Tells Why the Mid
vale Bid Was Rejected.

Secretary Morton has authorized an en-
phatic denial of the report that the depart
ment, in rejecting the bid of the Midvale
Steel Company had been actuated by the
fact that the Midvale company had sublet
to the Bethlehem Steel Company part of
the armor plate contract awarded in Octo-
Der, 1903. The Secretary further authoriz-
lied the statement that the rejection of the
Midyale bid was due entirely to the report
of the board of naval experts. who decided
that it would be mistake at the present
time to award further contracts to the
Midvale company for armor plate. The
Secretary added that the Navy Depart
ment always has appreciated the action of
the Midvale Steel Company in granting the
request of the department by surrendering
a portion of its contract for the sole pur-
pose of remedying an embarrassing posi-
ton in which the Navy Department other
wise would have found itself in its rela-
lions with the ship builders.
THE department., concluded the Secre
tary, has nothing but pleasant words to
say of this action of the Midvsle COM
pany.

RAILW Az RATE BILL

entertaining these opinions, and viewing
the short time which intervenes between
now and March !, and taking into consider
alton the great press of public business of
routine and necessary character, Senator
Eiklns and those who share his views are
very much concerned lest due consideration
cannot be given to the bill which has come
over from the House.
Senator kean of New Jersey, who is also
a member of the committee and who. as
a student of the institutions of the country,
believes also that the Senate should proceed
with great care and deliberation upon large
matters, has drawn up resolution which
he is holding to be introduced in case the
Senate committee comes to the conclusion
that the time is too short for wise action.
This resolution, which has been referred to
heretofore in The Star, authorizes the COM
mittee to sit during the recess of Con-
gress and go over a bill covering practical
ly the same subjects as the administration s
House BILL Senator Kean is not certain
yet whether the resolution will be introduce

should be held in readiness to be presented

Ignoring the popular demand for railway
action, but expressing, perhaps its view
that the time is too limited in the present
session of Congress.
Great pressure is still being brought on
thes Senate for the passage of the pending
bill. 1t is too early to say that this press
ure will not be effective although pune
tilous regard for the facts of the situation
today compels the statement that the
chances are very much against action be-
tween now and March 4. Next week will
probably decide. 1t Is realized that there
is possibility of a political play by the
democrats, which might force action on the
administrations BILL but the parliamentary
tactics in such play are not altogether
clear at this time.

RUSSIA's PEACE ATTITUDE.
Watts No Mediation Nor Counsel From
Abroad

BERLIN. February 1O.-The attitude of
the Russian emperor toward peace rests
upon considerations of such delicacy that
predictions of what he may or may not do
are regarded by this court as not worth
while making. One reality of the situa-
ton is that the Russian government wants
no mediation or even counsel from abroad.
and that peace suggestions from without
are resented to such an extent that they
are an influence against peace.
Therefore, Germany has not and. the AS
ISOLATED Press is informed, will not make
any offer.
The feeling at the Russian court is that
peace is desirable even at immense sacri-
fees, but how 70 arrive at it without in
tOlerab Bile humiliation is a question likely to
remain unSolved for a considerable time.

Crew Found Wandering in Woods
Ashore Frost-Bitten.

ST. JOHNS, N F., February 10.-The
crew of the British brig Vidonia, which was
caught in an ice-f1oe and blizzard while
bound out of this port Tuesday night, were
found yesterday wandering in the woods
and badly frost-bitten.
The Vidonis was broken up amid the ice
foes Wednesday night. The crew aban-
doned the wreck and reached land on foot
on the ice. Being unacquainted with the
country they were compelled to remain on
the beach all night unsheltered in a gale
and snow.
A furious storm was raging on Thursday
morning when they left the beach and at
tempted TO find a settlement. Losing their
way they wandered through the woods and
were in dire extremity when a rescuing
party from Petty Harbor found them, too
feeble to walk further. and carried them
back to that village dog sleds.
The brig Energy, which was also held fast
in the ice held together until today, but it
is feared she will go to pieces.
The Vidonia was owned by w. b. Bow
ring & Co. of Liverpool. measures 1856 tons
and was bound from Bahia to st. johns,

SfdI1Ou TO the South.
CHICAGO, February 10.-There is to be a
rush of people into the south and southwest
if the inquiries now being received by the
western railroads regarding "homeseekers'
excursions" signify much. One mail in
single railway office contained over hun
dred letters, all asking about soil and cli-
mate and other things that go to make up
life in the rural districts.
The movement is not confined to the
southwest, but southern states like Alabama
and Mississippi are receiving great deal
of attention. On one line alone 4S7 passen-
gers with homeseekers' tickets have left
Chicago in the last six weeks for a single
county in Alabama. Reports to the officials
indicate that many of these people will re-
main in the south permanently.
Vast tracts of land in southwestern Kan
sas, which have been devoted heretofore to
stock. are now being divided up for farms
Oklahoma is getting it's full share OF home
seekers, while Texas is receiving more new
corners than for number of years. For
the present the migration to the British
northwest seems to have come to stop
and the tide has turned to the southwest.

of a total of 245, 1856 miners 1868 went to

From these figures, however, no sure de-

The indications, however, are that the

probable that the dissidents will yield in
