INTERSTATE COMMERCE RULING
ON LIVE STOCK RATES DE-
CLARED ILLEGAL.
SHIPPERS CHARGED DISCRIMINATION
GREAT WESTERN AND SEVEN.
TEEN OTHER RAILROADS
ARE INVOLVED.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Judge Bethea, in
the United States circuit court, has de-
cided that the order issued by the in
terstate commerce commission direct
ing that the railroad rates On live
stock between the Missouri river and
Chicago be lowered in conformity with
the rates on dressed beef was illegal.
The Chicago Great Western and
seventeen other railroad corporations
were the. defendants in two suits
brought by the interstate commerce
commission. The first related to the
decision of the commission, in which
the lowering OF, the rates on live stock
to a point where they would conform
with the rates on dressed beef was
ordered. The second was an applica-
ton on the part OF the commission
for an injunction against the railroads
prohibiting them from refusing to
lower the rates.
Several weeks were consumed by the
introduction of expert testimony and
the court considered the evidence for
two weeks. .-..r.-.. ..@
No Power to Enforce Order.
In his decision Judge Bethea said in
part:
1T was the opinion of the commits.
sion that the relation OF rates en-.
forced by the defendants were higher
on live stock than upon dressed meats
or prepared products Of cattle and
hogs from points on the Missouri river
and South St. Paul, Mimi, to Chicago
and that the rates as maintained con-
sIituted a discrimination in violation
of the provisions of the act to regulate
commerce. The railroads declined to
obey the order of the commission di
recting them to eequalize the rates and
the two suits were brought by the COM
mission seeking to compel the defend.
ant corporations to heed the ruling of
the commission" '.-
In summing up the case Judge
Bethea declared that there was nc
evidence of collusion on the part of the
railroads and that the rates on live
stock were not a discrimination. He
held further that the interstate com.
merce decree was not binding on the
railroads and that the commission
had not the power to compel the rail
roads to obey their rulings.

UNIVERSAL POLITICAL STRIKE
Latest Move on Programme of Russian
RevoIutionists.


ST. Petersburg, Nov. 21-With the
collapse of the strike the leaders of the
reds" say they will now devote their
energies 10 the preparation Of a uni
versal political strike to sustain the
revolutionary programme when the ma
tional assembly meets. These plans,
which were suddenly upset by the pre-
cipitati0n OF the railroad strike last
month, are exceedingly ambitious, in
volving the cooperation not only of
the workmen of the cities but the peas
Rntry and it possible the army and
navy.
i: The propaganda among the soldiers
anu sailors will be" pushed energet-
ically. The leaders already claim that
they have organized the peasantry in
five districts of Kharkoff province, the
peasants having agreed not to work for
the landlords when the strike is called.
They anticipate that the famine, which
is at the doors Of almost 100000
peasants of the Central provinces, ac-
cording to estimates, will prove an ef-
fective ally Of the agitation, as they
can promise to give the peasants land
to an unlimited extent. The plague,
which is moving northward from the
kirghiz steppe, if not stamped out in
the Vistula region may also be made
to serve the purpose of arousing the
ignorant and superstitious peasants.
The leaders will urge the proletariat
everywhere to secure arms and be pre-
pared to tight for their rights.
While no further information has
been received regarding the false en-
peror who was said to be marching at
the head of thousands of peasants in
the province of Penza the turbulence
there has become so threatening that
the government has placed the. prov
lnce in state of siege.

RUSSIAN CRUISER AT HONOLULU
Officers Refuse to Explain Her Unex-
pected Arrival.

Honolulu, Nov. 21.-It is reported
that the russian cruiser Lena, which
unexpectedly arrived here, went near
enough to Vladivostok to get into wire
less communication with that port and
was warned to keep away unless in
sympathy with the people in their up
rising against the government. It is
said that the officers were divided in
opinion and that the crew was in sym
rathy with tie uprising. 1t is impos-
Eible to confirm this report because
the captain of the Lena will not be in
teryiewed and the officers will not dis
cuss the voyage.
The appearance of the Lena at Homo
sulu has not yet been explained. She
left San Francisco for Vladivostok
with enough coal to carry her to her
destination and at a time when she
was to be in that port she steamed
into Honolulu harbor with very little
coal in her bunkers.

Unless news is shortly received that

THIRTEEN PERISH
IN CONVENT FIRE
NEAR MONTREAL
Aged Women Are Rescued With Difficulty
and Suffer Much Owing to Coldness of
Night---Death List May Grow.

MONTREAL, Quebec, April 21.-In the
burning of the St. Ann Convent at ST.
Genevive, near Montreal, this morning.
thirteen lives were lost, as far as is
known, and it is feared that the num-
Der may reach twenty.
The sisters of the convent had a num-
ber of cid women boarders, and four
o. these are among the dead. Sister
Ragetaria, who was the mother su-
perlor, lost her life in an endeavor to
save the children. OF the latter, nine
are known to be dead. Their ages were
from eleven to eighteen years. The VII
lage had no fire brigade, and an effort
was made to get Montreal by telephone
50 that assistance could be obtained.
but it failed and the big building was
soon a mass of smoldering ruins.
Scenes Of Frightfu1 Suffering.
Scenes of frightful suffering follow
eu. as the night was cold and a fierce
wind was blowing. There were about
1sO inmates, and as they were taken
from the building in their night cloth
ing the villagers threw open their homes
