Reports from Marienbad describe
King Edward as being moDDed every
time he leaves his hotel, despite the
efforts of the burgomaster and police.
Among the throng which dog his steps
is, according to trade paper, an army

kodaks. Each little change in the
kings clothes is recorded by these
special commissioners, who represent
the most fashionable tailoring firms in
Europe. These same firms send rep
resentatives to England on the occa-
sion of great society functions, such
as Scott and Goodwood races and the
Cowes regatta.

ARBITRATION is THE PLAN.
Feature of Presidents Proposal to
Baron De Rosen.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 21.-It is
announced that the feature of the
proposition of President Roosevelt,
communicated through Baron de Ro-
sen to M. White, and by the latter to
the emperor of Russia, was based on
the principle of arbitration. Whether
the president contemplates arbitration
of all of the articles on which the plen-
ipotentiaries have failed to agree or
only on the question of indemnity can
not be stated with positiveness, but it
is more than probable that it, relates
only to indemnity or to indemnity and
the cession of the island of Sakhalin.
Neither is it possible to say whether
the president has yet made similar
proposal to Japan. The customary
diplomatic proceedings in such case
would be to submit the proposal stimuli
taneously to both countries, but there
might be an advantage in securing the
adherence of one before submitting it
to the other. To Emperor Nicholas,
the author of The Hague peace confer
ence, the suggestion of arbitration,
WHICH Will unnecessarily lluluSuihlSly
command the sympathy of the public
opinion of the world, will be particu-
larly hard to reject. If he agrees,
Japan, if she has not already done
so, will be all the more bound to sub
NIT her claim to the decision of an
impartial arbitrator.
Acceptance by both sides would in
volve a great extension of the princi-
pie of arbitration, as nations have
heretofore declined to arbitrate on
questions involving their honor and
dignity" Both Mr.. Takahira and M.
Witte, in the early stages of the con-
ference, absolutely rejected the idea
of arbitration, and only yesterday both
reiterated their disbelief in such a So
luton. 1t was noticed, however, that
M. Whites opinion was not expressed
as strongly as it was last week.

G. N. KNIFES GRAIN RATES.
Sweeping Cuts Made in District East
of Montana.

Just as the movement of the grain
crop is about to begin the Great Nor
thern railroad has announced sweep
ing reduction in grain rates through
out it's eastern territory, extending to
the boundary of Montana Three years
ago the road made important reduc-
tons in the western section. The new
rates, it is claimed, will add millions
to the potential resources of the far
mers of the northwest.
The reduction is not made, it is
claimed, in pursuance of any pressure,
but as a voluntary act and in the
words of an official, "a profit sharing
policy of the road between the rail
road and the tillers of the soil of the
northwest mat has been fundamental
in the management of the Great Nor
thern.''
This reduction of rates ranges from
cents per 100 pounds from the most
distant points to a half cent from
points nearer the Twin Cities and the
head of navigation on the great lakes.
From Wiliston, N. D., distant from
the head of navigation GIG miles, the
reduction is cents per 100 pounds.
THE meaning of these reductions
to farmers of the northwest is some
thing more than the winning of a bat
tie or the signing of some advantage
GUS commercial treaty" said a promi-
nent railroad official. 1T affects the
entire grain product of the northwest,
for the same rates have been met by
the Northern Pacific and must be met
by every other line doing business in
the same territory and tributary to
it, You can not tell how far a move
ment like this will reach. 1t will mean
a saving of more than 100000, 900 bush
els to the ordinary market. This foots
up 100000 to 100000 that will
remain in the pockets of the farmers,
of which the Great Northern will con-
tribute at least one half.
This movement is not only volun-
tary, but the revenue thus RENTED
can not be made good from any other
source. There can be and is intended
to be no increase of rates elsewhere
to correspond. Moreover, it is made
in the face of the fact that in the
three years that have elapsed since
the last reduction of rates was made
the pay of employees in the various de-
partments of the system has been ma
terially advanced, adding that much
to the cost of operation"
These rates are made in competition
with the 500 Line and Canadian Pa
cific, and astound the officials of these
roads, who are at loss to understand
its meaning. Railroad men say that
President Hill has determined to make
war on the 500 and his old time bust
ness enemy, Tom Lowry, president of
the road.

GERMAN EAST AFRICA REvoLTs.
More Troops and Cruisers Are Rushed
to the Front.


Berlin Aug. 23.-The governor of
German East Africa telegraphs that
the situation in the colony has chang
ed for the worst. The emperor has
ordered two cruisers to proceed imme-
diately to East Africa. Reinforcements
also will be sent to aid the protect
i've troops of the country.
Almost all the colonies are now in
revolt. The trouble is due to German
colonial methods. Already about 49,
600 troops have been sent to Africa.
The campaign in southwest Africa has
already cost about $62, 800, 900, with
practically nothing to show for it. 1t
has also cost over a thousand German
lives, among the killed being many
women and children, massacred by
tribesmen. The casualties are increas-
ing.
