ON RATE LEGISLATION
TWO REGULARLY ORGANIZED AZ.
SOCiATlONS ARE TO CON.
DUCT CAMPAIGNS.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Both conventions
of the Interstate Commerce Law
league We're adjourned sine die during
the day without making any efforts at
reconciliation and as consequence
there will be two regularly organized
bodies working in the interest Of rail-
road rate legislation. The title Of the
new association after much discussion
was selected as "The Federal Rate Az.
sociaiiOn.
The resolutions adopted by the
"anti' convention declared "the rail-
roads shall he kept within their de.
fined rights" and that such legislation
be taken as will remedy existing evils"
In addresses of it's members this
convention protested that Its delegates
had not come to Chicago in the inter-
ests OF the railroads.
The regular convention before I'D.
journing adopted resolutions endorsing
President Roosevelt's plan for general
government rate regulation by enlarg-
ing the powers of the interstate COM
merce commission. 1t was also de-
cided to send copy of the platform as
adopted direct to the White House by
a committee of five.
1t was decided by the executive COM
mittec TO organize in every state and
enter upon vigorous campaign for
the success Of the Roosevelt rate legis-
lation plan.
According TO present plans, a strong
lobby will he sent to Washington at
the next session of congress.

ROOSEVELT IN PERIL
LIGHTHOUSE TENDER WITH PRES
iDENT ON BOARD coLLlDEs
WITH FRUIT STEAMER.

New Orleans, Oct. 28.-After a mar
row escape from losing his life in an
early morning collision in which the
lighthouse tender Magnolia, on which
he was travelling, was SO much dam
aged that he had to abandon her, Pres
ident Roosevelt is now safe on board
the armored cruiser West Virginia,
bound for Hampton Roads.
The Magnolia collided with the fruit
steamer Esparta, bound for New Or
leans, and the accident was the result
Of confusion of signals.
The rail and port bow of the Mag
nolia was damaged and two or three
holes made in the hull below the water
line. No one was hurt. The Mag
nolia Immediately on being struck was
beached, her bow being high and dry.
After careful examination of the
that there was no danger and the pres.

Craighill Of the United States engi-
neers was aboard the Magnolia. His
ship, the Ivy. sister ship of the Mag

CARP THRIVE IN ARIZONA.
Lady Resident Of That State vouches
for Fact

TOR act.
About year ago little son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. F.. Van Kirk picked up
little fish on the dc> crt north of town.
That is, it was formerly a desert but
has been reclaimed. and the fish prob
ably found his way into the field
thu Ough an irrigating canal. Anyhow.
he was lively youngster of the carp
variety, and the boy was very fond of
him.
The fish was thrown into a pond in
a nearby pasture and no more atten
tion was paii: to the fact except by the
child, who during the year has caught
sight of the fish occasionally while he
was playing near the pond. The pond
has been gradually drying up since the
shortage of water in the canals, and
yesterday 1t got so low the fish was
seen floundering around and was final
ly captured.
From a minnow 1t had grown in
year to 8h pounds, and there was a
fish carnival at the Van Kirk ranch
last evening. In justice to the reader
it should be stated that these facts are
unimpeachable, as they are furnished
by Mrs. Van Kirk and not by her hus-
band, who might be less accurate in
the matter of weight, being engaged

GAR BOWS TO THE INEVITABLE
AND GRANTS DEMANDS OF
THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE.
CREATES GENUINE LEGISLATIVE
ASSEMBLY WITH EVENTUAL
UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
COUNT WlTTE BECOMES PRE-.
MlER WITH FULL POWER TO
CARRY OUT REFORMS.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 30-The autoc-
racy of the Romanoffs and the old or
der of things has ceased to exist in
Russia. Emperor Nicholas has surren-
dered and Count Witte comes into
power as premier with an imperial
mandate which will enable him to con-
vert the farcial national assembly into
= real legislative body elected by
greatly extended suffrage and to con-
fer upon the people fundamental civil
liberties, including free speech. A man.
ifesto giving the details of the new
form OF government has been issued
and has been well received by the
people.
A simple perusal of the manifesto
shows how complete is the emperor's
abdication of his autocratic power.
The very style Of the document is
clear and direct and devoid Of the
verbose, vague and bombastic phrase
ology which heretofore has character.
lied his majesty's, manifestos. 1t not
only betrays the real authorship, but
shows that the emperor at last has ir.
revocably bowed to the inevitable. He
does not even conceal the fact that the
discomfort and agitation of his subjects
has driven him to take the step and
practically yields everything-civil
liberty. the inviolability of person and
liberty Of conscience, speech and as
sembly.
He not only converts the farcical i'm
perial douma, with only consultative
power, into an absolute legislative as
sembly without the assent of which no
measure shall become law and before
which all governmental authorities
must answer, but promises eventually
universal suffrage.
The effect throughout Russia is ex-
pected to be instantaneous. While the
extremists threaten an attempt to keep
up the present struggle the best Of
opinion is that the backbone of the
strike is broken but in the final analy-
sis the effect will depend on how far
Count Witte will be able to execute
the heavy task which he has assumed.
Some persons high in the government
believe 1t still will be necessary to use
ball cartridges to suppress the present
movement, but Count Witte appears
confident.

RUSSIANS CELEBRATE
cZAR's GIFT OF FREEDOM ENTHU.
sIAsTlcALLY RECEIVED eY
/ HIS PEOPLE.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-All Russia
during the day celebrated enthusiastic
ally the emperor's gift of freedom,
which the greater part of the people
received with deepest Joy, though in
st. Petersburg, Moscow and other
cities Socialists and revolutionaries Or
ganized anti-government demonstra.
uons and red flag parades. which with
the patriotic manifestations led to q
number of conflicts between the
"reds" and "whites," as the anti-gov-
ernment and royalist factions are re-
spectively termed. On the whole the
day passed more quietly in Russia
than had been expected, though COLI
sions between the people and the
troops are reported from Poltava, IA
xan and Kishineff.
In each of the two capitals, st. Pc
tersburg and Moscow, the day was one
such as the Russians never before have
seen. The Slavic people. which dur
Ing the long war just closed and the
anxious period preceding the an
nouncement of the new era of constitu-
tionalism seemed self.restrained and
apathetic, gave itself up fully to the
exuberance Of the moment and spent
the entire day in parades and as
semblies which for the first time in the
history Of Russia were freely per-
mitted. Under the orders of Count
Witte and General Trepoff the troops
generally were withdrawn from the
streets Of the cities and the fullest
fein given the people to let out their
enthusiasm in demonstrations which
50 long as they were not destructive
were not interfered with.
