The geological survey has eighteen horses

summer. Last winter II arranged to pas
ture them for s2T month with half
breed on an Indian reservation. who had
been taking care of government stock for
several winters and had kept them in good
condition. He was the only man the sur
vey people had ever found, after many
years OF experience, upon whom they could
rely. But the department refused to ap-
prove the agreement. because 1t was in
formal" There was nothing in the agree
ment to show that II was government stock,
or when where 1t had been purchased. or
under whose orders, or on whose requisi-
ton. There was nothing to show where 1t
had been used or by whom, or under what
branch of the public service. or why there
was any necessity of pasturing 1t for the
winter. Hence an agent of the survey was
compelled to go all the way up there and
make new contract. containing all this
information. which cost a great deal of
time and trouble and more money than
the contract amounted to.

was told to the Keep commission about the

FROM DAYTON
TO LEWISTON
Reported that Surveyors are Run.
ming a Line for Electric Rail-.
way Purposes

IS there a new deal on i'm electric
railway circles. All eyes point to Lew
iston and with any new project in
sight comes the information that Lew
iston is the objective point. 1t is re-
ported that surveyors are running
line for an electric railway between
Dayton and this city. Inquiry has
been made by the News as to the re-
liability of the information but Moth
ing can be learned. 1t is encouraging
to note however, that Lewiston is al
ways in the minds of the public as
will be shown by the following taken
from the Walla Walla Statesman:
J. w. Cookery. who was in Dayton
yesterday on business stated this
morning that surveyors are at work
between Lewiston and Dayton on an
electric road project. Dayton people
seemed very much interested in the
news that surveys are being made be-
tween Lewiston and that point for an
electric road" Mr.. Cookery said. "The
general impression is that the same
parties who are promoting the Jay p
Graves line out of Spokane, are In
terested in this project. If such is
the case it is almost an assured fact
that the road will be built in a short
time"
Another story was in circulation
yesterday to the effect that the pro-
posed road will be branch of the
lewiston Grangeville electric line
which Is now being financed by Lew
iston and upper Idaho people, and that
the line will not stop at Dayton. but
will be pushed clear through to PEN
dleton passing through Waitsburg,
Walla Walla. Milton. Weston, Athena.
and adams. OH the same route that
was surveyed out for the Mellmar
| road"

The Observations and Experiences OF .
Woman Traveller,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: A
Polish lady of this city. about Ave days before
the recent massacre at LODI, crossed the Rus
sian frontier on short visit to her old home.
She had passed many times through the from
tier town of Alexandrovo. but never. she
writes. under such remarkable circumstances.
At this place she was the only passenger. ex.
cepting a few peasants. on the through train
between Berlin and Warsaw. Eastbound pas
senger traff1c into Poland had almost ceased,
On the other hand. the westbound trains
from Poland were packed with we'll to do
people who were leaving their country for
while.
She was little surprised at the cheerful
ness of Warsaw; for. though the military
swarmed everywhere and all knew that the
Baltic feet had been destroyed. the theaters
were open. the races were in progress. and
hundreds OF country gentlemen with their
families had come in from their estates to
attend them The hotel where she spent the
night was as crowded az usual at that season.
and the dining room was brilliant with its
throng Of pleasure seekers, and the orchestra
that enlivened the dinner hour.

poorer classes, would weather the. critical
But the most surprising sign was the tone of
the press. which WAS taking the utmost adj
vantage OF the increased license given to the
newspapers few months ago. All the LIB

tunes of the empire were due solely to the
stupidity and corruption Of a bureaucratic
Government, and that radical change in the
system must precede any improvement In
the present deplorable conditions.

MARRIAGE WITH THE UNBAP-
TIED.
A Notable Decision by the Roman Propa'
Eanda Ratified by the Pope.

FROM inc 4 uOut
The American papers have recently been
very full of a famous marriage case which
has been before the ecclesiastical tribunals
OF Rome for considerable time last week
they announced that it had been settled at
last by decision in favor OF the validity of
the second marriage of the Princess X. They
were quite wrong, however. for the decision
had been given the other way only few days
ago.
The facts are these: Some years ago a
Catholic girl Of the diocese of Baltimore be-
came engaged to a Mr.. Y. He was supposed

the same result as before. This time, how
ever the decision as well as the entire con-
who not only ratified the Judgment OF Propa-
9anda but gave orders that the matter should
not be reopened. The decision Is likely to
cause a great sensation both In Rome and in
America.

On March 81 last Japan and Corea en-
tered into an agreement by which Japan
assumes control Of the post and telegraph
service OF the Corean Government. Hith-
erto Corea has been losing $4,000 each
year in Its post and telegraph. A continu-
ance OF this loss would bankrupt the limited
Corean treasury Under the agreement
the Japanese Government is to prepare
accurate statements Of profit and loss, and
all profits made are to go to the Corean
Government. 1t ia provided that when
Corea Is sufficiently advanced politically
and economically to be able to administer
the triple service properly and independ
emily its administration shall be handed
over to the Corean Government and that
all necessary supplies and equipment shall
be admitted in Corea free OF duty.
This opens the way for American sales
and contracts. and the agreement seems
another proof of the honesty of Japan's
assertion that she is not seeking territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. but properly equipped
and open avenues OF commerce. The in
dependence OF Corea is not threatened by
this agreement.
