Which Passed Both Branches of

Unjust Rates and Determinations.

Springfield, Ill, Jan. 20.-The follow
ing joint resolution offered in the
house by Representative Gray of Ma
con county was unanimously adopted.
whereas, there is a great and grow
ing discomfort among merchants, man
ufacturers and shippers in many states
of the union on account OF ezorbitant
railroad rates and also discrimination
by transportation companies in favor
of large shippers and trusts by way OF
unlawful rates and in other ways.
whereas, the evil has reached an
acute stage in Illinois, the freight com
mittee of the Manufacturers and Ship
pers association of Illinois having re
peatedly and publicly protested
against the Illinois freight rates as be-
ing onerous, unjust and higher than
charged for the same service in ada
cent states.
Whereas, President Roosevelt in
his annual message to congress last
December strongly condemned the
rates charged by railroads and to take
by congress that would remedy these
evils and place the railroads where
their illegal practice could be regulat-
ed and controlled by the interstate
commerce commission and the federal
courts; therefore
Resolved, that the 44th general as
semb1y of Illinois hereby earnestly
endorses the patriotic and judicial ut
terances of President Roosevelt on the
subject of freight rates and believes
that he truly represents the views of
all the people and their interests on
that question and our senators in con-
gress are instructed and our representa-
tives in congress earnestly requested
regardless of party affiliation to sup
port thepresident in his position and by
every effort to secure the enactment.
of such railroad or interstate CON-
merce legislation by congress as will
correct the evils mentioned by the
president"

CHINESE REALM
TO BE PRESERVED

Paris, Jan. 20.-The French govern
ment and other powers have received
a communication from the American
government which, if approved by the
powers, will exert far reaching effect
in preventing a territorial breakup of
China when peace is eventually made
between Russia and Japan. The
American initiative in this direction
is distinct from the recent note rela-
tive to Russia's protest against Chi
mas alleged breach of neutrality
This latter note treats of the contin-
uation of China's neutrality in the
pending war, but the other communi-
cation treats of the Chinese territory
after the war is concluded.
This step is based upon informa-
ton reaching the United States gov
eminent that some of the powers are
apprehensive that the eventual consid-
Grafton of peace between Russia and
Japan will lead to claims on portions
of Chinese territory. The American
communication tends to avert the pos
sibility of such claims being made,
thus ensuring continuance Of the
present policies of the open door and
territorial integrity Of the empire.
Approve Communication.
The French, British and Italian gov
ernments have approved the American
communication. If the other powers
approve, it will constitute a notable
understanding that the powers will
not make claims on Chinese territory
when peace is ultimately concluded.

- Much Water.

Duluth.-Because of the greatest
rainfall ever known in one season in
northern Minnesota, the great reser-
voirs of the upper Mississippi now
hold in storage more water than they
have ever previously contained at this
time of year:
So says Major G. NJ. Derby, United
States engineer in charge of the reser-
voir system. He intimates this may
necessiate emptying the reservoirs dur
ing the winter, which would create
unusually heavy winter waterpower.
Said Major Derby:
1.-The amount of water now on hand
in the reservoirs is greater than ever
before at this time of the year. The
river, however, Is now steadily falling
and the reservoirs may have to be
heavily drained before Nov: Is, when
navigation closes. The water has fall
len at st. Paul from IA feet inches,
July II, to feet inches today. If it
approaches three feet on the gage, the
reservoirs will be opened more so as to
maintain a flow of 5000 cubic feet a
second, as is necessary to maintain a
three-foot cubic measure"
