ably discharged will receive a. pension
of So month instead of SIS, the sum
now paid. 1t is intended that this in
crease shall also apply to Widows

Danvine, Ill, Oct. 2O.-Farmers'
unions as a means of securing the
regulation of railroad rates is a novel
project which has found favor among
the delegates to the State Federation
of Labor convention which is being
held here and it is probable that the
plan will be extended throughout the

Morton will introduce a resolution

especially to promote the movement.
The scheme Morton has in mind is a
departure from the ordinary style OF
farmers organizations which has
thrived in Texas. Arkansas and In
dian territory. Its main object is to
prevent rebate evils through estab-
1 fishing a boycott against certain roads.
With all the farmers organized into
unions Morton believes d boycott
could be made effective. After a con-
ference with John W. Walker of the
DanVille miners and other country
union leaders, Morton decided to
launch the agricultural organization
along these lines
To give farmers union backing it

MILLIONS IN BACK TAXES.
Claim Made That Illinois Central Has
Not Compiled With Charter.

Springfield, ILL.,. Oct. 2O.-According to
an opinion given to State Auditor Nc
Cullough by Attorney General Stead, the
Illinois Central railroad never has com
piled with the provisions of its charter
fixing the manner oe its taxation, and
as a result the state has lost millions
of dollars that should have gone into
the treasury.
If the attorney generals Interpretation
of the law is sustained in the courts, q
back tax bill amounting approximately
to more than S5O,OOO,OOO win be saddled
upon the railroad, and its taxes viii be
trebled in the future
The opinion holds that the interpre-
tation put upon the franchise by state
officers for the past hale century has
been all wrong. For this length of time
the state has accepted Z per cent of the
gross earnings of the road in lieu of all
taxes. Attorney General Stead holSs
that per cent is the minimum and not
the maximum tax to be assessed against

FORMAL THANKS.
Extended to President Roosevelt by
the Two EmperOrs.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Formal but
none the less hearty expressions of
thanks from the Russian and Japanese
emperors to President Roosevelt for
his services in the cause of peace in
the Far East, have been made public
by Secretary Root. The Russian en-
peror's message is contained in the fol-
lowing instructions to Baron Rosen, the
Russian ambassador.
THE Russian ambassador is ordered
to express to the president in the name
of the emperor, the feeling of sincere
satisfa ctiOn experienced by his imperial
majesty at the establishment of
peace for the good of all people and
their future prosperity. At this his
torical hour his august sovereign can
not but recollect with sincere pleasure
the efforts put forward by the presi-
dent in order to cooperate in the at
tainment Of that great result. These
efforts have been the more highly APP
preciated as they entirely responded to
the sentiments of friendship and re-
gard which animated his imperial
majesty toward the president personal
ly, and toward the American people"
The note from the Japanese emperor
reads:
.sToI1io, oct IS, 19O5.-The Presi-
dent, Washington, d. c.: The formali-
ties necessary to bring the treaty of
Portsmouth into full force and vigOr
having been accomplished and peace
having been definitely re-established
between Japan and Russia, I desire
again to express to you my very high
appreciation of your distinguished and
important services in the cause of
peace and also to thank you most sin
cerely for the gracious hospitality to
my plenipotentiaries by which they
were enabled to perform their COM
plete labor under the most favorable
auspices MUTSHUITO.
In addition this formal expression of
thanks, a letter from Mr.. Takahira, the
+ japanese minister, requests that the
