twenty hours, the New York Central

The proposed schedule of eighteen

in discussing the proposition to give

~ think the railways should make

making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While IL
may be necessary to do that somt
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while it is
done In some countries, am opposed
to it. The railway rate is
property. 1t is all the property that
the galway has got. This rest of its
property is not good for anything un-
less it can charge a rate. Now it has
always seemed to me that when q
rate was fixed, if that rate was an un-
reasonable rate, it deprives the rail-
road company of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the plN'erty of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. WheL
you put in rate that is inherently
unreasonable. you have deprived that
company Of its rights, of its property.

GREC|AN PREMIER
FATALLY STABBED
Gambler Opens Door Of States
mans Carriage and
Strikes Blow.
THE DEED ONE OF REVENGE
The Premier Had Recently Taken
Stringent Measures Against the
Gambling Houses and All Had
Been Closed.

Athens. June l4--Theodore P.
Delyannis, the popular premier of
Greece. was stabbed and MORALLY
wounded by professional gambler
named Gherakaris at the main en-
trance of the chamber of deputies at
s p. IN. yesterday. The premier died
within three hours. The assassin,
who was Immediately arrested, said
he committed the deed in revenge for
the stringent measures taken by
Premier Delyannis against the gam
bling houses, all of which recently
were closed.
The premier arrived at the en-
trance of the chamber in carnage.
Iherakaris approached, saluted the
premier and opened the carriage
loor. The premier was in the act
If thanking Gherakaris for his cour-
tesy when the gambler plunged a
long dagger into M. Delyannis' abdo-
men, inficting frightful wound.
The murdered was Immediately
)verpowered by the attendants. Medi-
cal assistance was quickly secured
and the wounded statesman was
taken to Red Cross station. where
IN operation was performed in an
effort to stop the internal hemorrh-
age. This was unsuccessful and
Premier Delyannis died at 7:30
o'clock
The news spread quickly and it
would be impossible to describe the
popular evidences of sorrow or the
anger of the crowd who attempted to
lynch the assassin. Lynching was
prevented by the gendarmes. who
rushed tEeir prisoner from the build
ing to prison.
1t is estimated that 10000 persons
escorted the body of the premier
from the Red Cross station to his
late residence. Members of the cab
met and of the chamber of deputies
were among the crowd, many of
them weeping.
The cabinet met last evening at the
residence of the president of the
chamber, and it was decided that the
body should lie in state in the cham
Der before interment.
King George, who is at Tatoi. was
Informed of the assassination, and
announced that he would at once re-
turn to Athens.
Investigation by the police shows
that Gherakaris was recently liber-
ated from prison. having been SEN
fenced to eighteen years for the MUIR

Russian Government
st. Petersburg, June 15-The Slovo
publishes remarkable sensational
interview filled with the gloomiest
forebodings with M. White, president
of the committee of ministers. The
Russian statesman's name is not men,
toned, but the veil OF his identity can
be pierced by the veriest tyro. He
evidently spoke with the profound
conviction that the affairs of state
are going from bad to worse and un-
der personal irritation produced by
the intrigues which compel him to sit
idle during the present crisis. Every
word was black with pessimism. The
statesman made it clear that Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff for one opposes
his having anything to do with the
peace negotiations.
Asked concerning the report that
he is going abroad. charged with a
mission in regard to the negotiations
for peace, M. Witte replied, his words
being given literally as they contain
much hidden meaning:
mo. | certainly will not go on
such a mission for three reasons.
The last of them is that l shall do
everything to avoid it. Even if the
rumor Of Lamsdorff's resignation is
true, which l insist is not the case,
the main situation would not be
changed, and the first and third rea-
sons would hold for me.
Nothing that Russia has gone
through is surprising. | gave warn
ing in due time that only the match
wood of Rojestvensky's squadron
would reach Valdivostok. In word,
| justly earned the designation of
croaking raven. do not see that af-
fairs have yet taken turn which
makes my services desirable. | will
say moreover now, ] cannot OBJ
serve definite desire to change the
direction of the current. The bed of
the onrushing stream remains the
same. Only the obstacles in its Path
grow more numerous and foaming
rapids indicate the danger points.
'As for peace, Japan will not even
be willing to discuss basis which
would not insure peace for at least
fifty years. Her conditions doubtless
have also considerably increased.
She will, Of course, agree to open ne
gotiations on her own soil without me-
diators with a person whom Russia
will clothe with special powers.
Herein lies the real source of the ru-
mors originating in the Eer!in and
London cabinets about my trip.
Yes, there is truth in
what you say. but you see different
estimate is placed upon the men
abroad People there are better in
formed and appreciate mere clearly
the conditions prevailing in Russia
than we do here.
Russia could prolong
the war for five years in the hope Of
coming out victorious were it not for
events in the interior to which they
are closing their eyes and stopping
their ears and trying to know nothing
about.
Here lies the horror of
the present situation in Russia. Ev-
cry hour of delay is fraught with dan
ger. Down, down, lower
and lower-step by step" -... ....
The Sviet, which is as pessimistic
as ever, declares there is little hope
that the Japanese terms will be &C
ceptable. The paper adds: Europe
and America seek to humiliate Rus
STA, but Russia will not bear the dis
grace with light heart"

Philadelphia. Pa, June 14.-Amid

railways of the city council yesterday
referred to the city solicitor for his
opinion as to their legal-legality four
bills repeating ordinances granting
street car companies the right to use
one hundred and ten miles of street
to lay tracks without the city receiv
ing any compensation for the fran

as that held by the committee on

lease was under consideration. The
"repealers' were introduced at the

action of the committee yesterday is

Great care should be taken at the

At that age the structure is being

Il tried to use tea in its stead, but
found it's effects even worse than
those suffered from coffee Then
for long time drank milk alone at
my meals, but it never helped me
