Peter Buel Porter. Porter was on the

recommended to the country the ad-
visibility Of a war with Great Brit

to properly defend the United States.
He Immediately resigned from Con

declined the generals commission that
the President offered to him and took
command Of company Of volunteer

At the battle Of Chippewa and at
the battle Of Lundys Lane he distin-
guished himself for great personal

he performed extraordinary feats Of
daring. At the close Of the war, how
ever he declined the post of general
in-chief OF the army that was offered
to him, and. thinking that the close Of
the war should close the career Of a
soldier, he returned to his congress
sional district, which again sent him
back to Congress- The rest Of his
public life was characterized by the
same quality Of patriotism that had
distinguished him.

CHINA'S GREAT NEED
RAILROADS MUST BE BUILT TO
DEVELOP EMPIRE.
Primitive System of Transportation
by Coolies and Carts Over Roads
Scarcely Worthy the Name Now
Fatal Drawback.

After the war is over China finds
herself in status QUO so far as rail-
roads go. The war is credited with
little influence id producing the prac-
teal deadlock in railway construction
now obtaining in the celestial empire.
An adequate railroad system would
be a wonder worker, so great are it's
possibilities, but while the Chinese ap-
preciate the need of some railroading
to supplement the work of their can
ais and coolies they have no realiza-
ton of the development of a country
by railroads. The amount of goods
transported by coolies and in north
ern China by carts is almost beyond
belief. In the interior of the greater
portion of the country coolies and
canals carry all the freight. What
this means can be understood fairly
when it is known that there is prac-
tically no railroad service at all in
the more populous and richest parts
of an empire of 400,000,000 people or
more. Most of the roads are scarcely
worthy the name. In the northern
provinces the traffic in carts of
rough sort dominates the entire move
ment of goods to the seaboard. When
waterways are frozen a, great part of
the year this Is OF necessity the case
1t is in such regions that the first
hold of the railroads has come. When
the empire is served at all 1t is serv-
ed by waterways. Along the Chinese
coast there is series of navigable
rivers coming down from the interior,
series which has few equals the
world over. From the Yalu and Pei
Ho at the north to West river, pass
ing through Canton in the south,
these rivers seem to be formed to
reach inland from the coast, connect
ing not only the coast cities, but the
interior cities with each other by way
of the coast as well. About midway
between the north and south the
great Yangtse reaches far into the in
terror, navigable almost to the west
ern borders of the empire, and by its
tributaries offering still further con-
nections with interior points. These
streams are supplemented by canals.

Yangtse and Yellow river plains are
a vast network of waterways design

RUSSIA'S FALSE CAR
iMPOSTOR SAID TO BE AT HEAD
OF FIFTY THOUSAND MEN.
Movement Recalls Rebellion Of 1873,
Which Is Said to Have Cost 1oo, 900
lives-Started in Region Which Is
Now Affected

The inf1amed state of the people OF
Russia as well as the credulity of the
Russian character is again manifested
in the army of $4,000 that has gather
ed in few days in the Volga region
to follow a false car. This bogus
emperor, as the dispatches tell, made
his appearance near Penza, in the
heart OF the vast region extending
westward from the Volga
This movement recalls the great
Pugatcheff rebellion of 1878, which is
said to have cost 1OO, 900 lives This
rebellion also occurred in the region
where the false car started his in
surrection in the last few days.
Yemelyan Ivanovitch Pugatcheff was
born in 1926 and died in 1775. The
rebellion he led was known as the
Observation-Disclosures" He was a Cos
sack of the Don and fought against
the Prussians in the Seven Years War
and in the campaign against Turkey
in 1869.
On his return from the latter war
he was arrested for helping his broth
er-in-law to escape across the Don.
Fearing punishment he ran away to
the Cossacks of the Terek In the
land of his refuge he heard the per-
sistent rumors that Peter III was still
alive. 1t happened that he bore a
striking resemblance to the murdered
czar, and it occurred to him to i'm
personate that sovereign. Whether
this Russian soldier dreamed of the
bloody results that followed this i'm
PRESERVATION is doubtful, but he boldly
announced that he was Peter III and
issued a proclamation in the name of
that sovereign in 1773, declaring that
he would dethrone Catherine II and
again occupy the throne.
The rebellion began in the same
year. He attached to his cause the
Raskolniks, whose religion he en-
braced, and won over several Finnish
and Tatar tribes and thousands of the
peasantry.
After the capture of many fortresses
on the Ural and the Don, Orenburg
among them, he marched his army
against Moscow. At a crucial time
he was sold by some of his compan-
ions for 100000 rubles and was cap
| tured. After his trial he was executed
| in Moscow. His execution ended the
| rebellion, which had been one of the
| bloodiest of its kind in history.

When Commissioner Garfield went
to the Chicago packers and asked
permission to inspect their books. the
condition was made that no informa-
ton he might obtain therefrom would
be used in court proceedings against
them.
Mr.. Garfield gave this pledge, 1t is
stated. and the packers allowed him
to study their business in all its de-
tails from the inside.
Now, it is announced, the results of
his study have been turned over to
the government department of justice
to be employed in legal prosecution of
the packers
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured TO give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
Instructions from Washington. He
pledged. not his own word. but the
governments. 1t is not his good faith.
but the governments. that is in Ques-
ton now.
The Journal has no concern for the
packers. except as they are citizens
of Chicago. III IT can be proved that
they are guilty of engaging in con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, they
ought to be punished.
But their guilt. il they are guilty.
must be fairly proved. They must be
given square deal.
Since the government has elevated
its vision to such height as TO over
look the nest of defiaut criminal trus, 8

shadow of the capitol dome. in order
to fasten itself a thousand miles away

the president cannot be too careful
to avoid suspicion that they are more
anxious to prosecute western offend

Some of the methods already en-
ployed in this case have not been par
ticularly distinguished for decency.
When the government breaks into a

pers. when it drags the wives of pack

puts them under heavy bonds, it is
