AUTHORITY IS UPHELD
A Ruling Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission Sustained.
In ttac Federal Court at
Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, Nov. 23.-The authority
CT the interstate commerce commission
was upheld in a decision fled by United
States Judge Thompson il a case
brought by Proctor & Gamble against
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton,
the Pennsylvania, the Big -Four and
the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
railways. Prior to the protest against
the freight rates fled by Proctor &
Gamble with the interstate commerce
commission, the railroads listed car
loads OF soap for the purpose of CLASH
ication III the sixth class, and lots less
that carload lots in the fourth class.
Next the railroads reduced the carload
lots to the fifth class, and the lesser
bulk to 20 per cent. less than third
class. This reduction in classification
brought cut the protest upon which
the matter went to the interstate COM
merce commission. The commission
held that the reduction in classification
Of carload lots was proper, but that the
reductions Of fractions of carloads was
improper, and ordered the railroads to
desist On that point. The railroads re-
fused.
Suit was brought by District Atto,-
ney Mcpherson, and as a result the III
terstate commerce commission is sus-
tanned and an injunction issued against
the rates On fractional lots.

JAPANESE NAVY OF FUTURE
Apparently Intent Upon Becoming
a First Class Naval Power.
To Have EattIeships and Cruisers In
Comparison With which Those
OF the Present Are Dwarfs.

Victoria, B. c., Nov. 24-The jap
anese admiralty has entered upon an
elaborate scheme of naval expansion,
which is expected to be approved at the
coming session of the diet, according
to advices received here. Ships with
heavier ornaments and higher speed
will be built. The Jill Shimpou says
the battleships Of the future navy OF
Japan will displace $4,000 tons and
have an armament of IA twelve-inch
| guns and a speed of 20 knots, while the
future cruisers will displace $4,000 tons
and have a speed of % knots.
The Nippon gives a list of warships
about to be laid down in japanese yards
as follows: Y~okosuka, battleship Satu-
ma. $4,000 tons; Kure, battleship Aki.
is, 600 tons; armored cruiser Tsukuba,
$4,000 tons; armored cruiser Ikoma, IA
600 tons; armored cruiser Ikubi, $4,000
tons; armored cruiser Kamura, $4,000
tons.
The five submarines recently added,
built in America in sections, gave such
success that the squadron will be in
| creased.
An immense gun factory, covering IS
| acres. is being established on the
Sumidi river near Toxic, by the jap
anese military authorities, where 4,00o
men will be employed making heavy

1T WAS A CASE OF MUST
The Korean Ministers Had No Choice
But to Sign the, New
ton With Japan.

London, Nov. 22.-The Toxic CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says
that the naval plans of Japan include
the formation of a special squadron to
cruise in the southern seas as far as
Singapore. The same correspondent
says:
"The details of the negotiations at
Seoul show that the Koreans had no
alternative but to accept the treaty
drawn by Japan. The premier tried to
escape from the palace, but was pre-
vented by Japanese gendarmes. He
still persisted in his refusal to sign the
protocol, whereupon the emperor dis
missed him. Several other ministers
resigned, but the emperor refused to
accept their designations. Gen. Pase.
gawa, now commander of the Japanese
troops in Korea, will be the japanese
governor general of Korea.

VIM. L. PENFIELD'S MISSION
Its Object il Only Surntised, But his
Report Will, 1t is Believed, ne
of Grave Importance

Washington, Nov. 24.-Oficial circles
are all agog with reference to Judge
Penfeld's mission to South America
and its results.
At the time the solicitor was sent
abroad, the suggestion was nurtured IN
official circles that his trip had TO 90
with trade conditions, but it has been
surmised all along that it had a more
important and delicate object. He spent
four weeks in Brazil, and while there
made a tour of the southern section or
the country.
The administration has been interest
ing itself in the German situation III
Brazil for several years, representa-
lions having been made to this gov
eminent that the German empire was
gradually colonizing the southern por-
ton and gaining a foothold there so
substantial as to excite the apprehen-
sion of the Washington administration
Some of the alarmists have been in
clined to fear that the Monroe Doctrine
would eventually be menaced by the
trend of events in Brazil, and that it
might be necessary for the United
States to make the matter the subject
of diplomatic representations.
Therefore, taken in connection with
the u%nfriendly spirit brought about be-
tween the United States and Germany
by the tariff war and other incidents,
the report of Judge Penield is expect
ed to assume grave importance. No ink
ling of what it is has as yet been al
lowed to become public.

UNEMPLOYED OF LONDON
They want Work, Not Charity-They
q There is n Limit to Hu-
man Endurance.

London, Nov. 21.-There was n
other poverty parade in the streets
of London.
Some 5000 to 5000 unemployed men
and a sprinkling of women marched
along the Thames embankment to
Hyde park, where they listened to
speeches and adopted resolutions con-
demning charity as a cure for lack OF
employment, and demanding the sum
moning of parliament to initiate works
of national utility.
Red flags were seen, and banners
bearing such devices as Curse your
charity, we want work" and There
is a limit to human endurance" indi-
Gated the temper of the processionists.
The march, however, vas quite order
ly, and the strong police force on duty
had little to do.

POST OFFICE ROBBERS WORK
The Sa fe in the Post Office AZ Clifton
City, Mo-, Blown and the Build
ing Destroyed by Fire.

Sedalia, Mo-, Nov. 24.-The safe III
the post office at Clifton City, Cooper
county, about twenty miles from this
city, was blown by burglars, at night,
the contents taken, and the building in
which the Office was located set on
fire and destroyed, with all its con-
tends.
The persons who arrived first at the
scene were able to see, by the light of
the flames. that the building had been
broken into and the safe blown.
The safeGoor had been blown off and
the interior of the Office wrecked by the
violence of the explosion.
The indications were that all the con
tents of tbs safe had been taken.
M. D. Wakefield, postmaster, was not
able, in the confusion following the
fire, to tell what the safe had contained,
but the amount of money and stamps
is supposed to have been large.

Maddened by jealousy because the
affections of his young masters had
been usurped by a pony, an English
bulldog attacked the horse in the sta.
BILE of Attorney F. c. Perkins, of Pitts
burg, Pa, and in the battle which fol
lowed the pony was so badly injured
it will probably have to be shot. For
some time the bulldog had been a spe.
cial pet of Mr.. Perkins children. Mr.
Perkins a few days ago secured a
beautiful pony for the children, and
they at once forsook the dog, trans
ferring their affections to the pony.

imagined than the recent death of a
public man in Georgia at the hands
of his W wife, who shot him in his
home at night in mistake for a bur
glar. The house, it seems, had been
disturbed by burglars, and a shotgun
was kept on hand as a precautionary
measure. This instance, which is only
one of many such tragedies brought to
public notice in recent years, compels
the reflection whether vastly more
harm than good does not come from
keeping firearms in a home for pro-
tective purposes.

Nation. Ill, Nov. 23.-While Mayor
William Eyers was attending a banquet
rendered to Congressman William B.
Mckinley AZ Champaign before his de-
parture for Washington, a faction OF
the city council stole the city govern
ment, deposed all the holdover officers,
appointed and confirmed new mes in
their places.
There has been a hard fight on the
lid or closed town proposition for
six months, and Mayor Byers would
not name a new police force for fear
the council would not confirm the APP
pointments. He also snubbed Council
man Tabor in awarding chairmanships

Tabor organized his forces in the
council, waited until the mayor left
town, unsuspecting, and then made a
coup.

1t is a remarkable fact, and one
ers; that while population, the area
OF land cultivated, the number of live
stock and productive industries, have
made a very large advance in the last
three decades, the number of sheep

The principal reason for this dwin.
ding of the flocks is the fact that the
world has been eating up its sheep.
The figures taken together show q de-

since 1873, an average of 100000 a

and is by many viewed with alarm.
The number excluded and deported
also reached a new high record, be
