Chosen Commander.in.Chief.


Milwaukee, Sept $50 far as the
business to come before the second an
nual encampment of the United Span
ish War Veterans is concerned, the
reunion is at an end. The contest
for commander-in-chief was a spirited
one and resulted in the election of

Major Miller, who is a cousin of the
late President Mckinley, is a leading
lawyer of Cleveland. For senior vice
commander, Major John M. Harland
of Buffalo was elected, and Captain
Il. T.. Kirk Of California was chosen
as junior vice commander.
Washington, whose claims for the
next reunion were put forward by
Captain Walter Mitchell of that city,

date of the 1906 encampment was set
so as not to be later than Oct. Is, so
as to make it convenient for President
Roosevelt to attend.

CANADA ADOPTS SIGNAL.
Submarine Bells VIII BE Installed In
the ct. Lawrence River.

Submarine Bells VIII BE Installed In
the st. Lawrence River.
The Canadian government. by an
order adopted in council at Ottawa,
will enter into an agreement with a
submarine signal company of Boston
for the installation of thirty bells in
the st. Lawrence River and Off the
coast of the maritime provinces. OF
the thirty stations 30 be established,
twenty-six are to be operated from the
shore and four from lightships, says
the Boston Transcript.
1t is expected that all ships making
Canadian ports will be equipped with
the telephone apparatus for picking
up the sounds of the bells. Already
provisional arrangements have been
made with the principal steamship
companies of the Dominion for the in
stallaion of the apparatus.
Although Canada has taken prece-
dence of the United States in the for
NAL adoption Of the signal system as
an aid to navigation, II is believed to
be only a question OF a short time
will adopt the system. 1t has been
investigated thoroughly by the navy
department and by the lighthouse
board, and all of the officials who OBJ
served the working Of the system unite
in recommending 1t as the most i'm
portant invention, for the safety OF
ships at sea, that has yet been discov-
cred
The system has been installed ex-
permentally for some months at Bos-
ton lightship. Pollock Rip Shoals light
ship and Vineyard Sound lightship
and scores of government officials and
ship owners and masters of the United
States and Canada have made the trlI
from New York to Boston on the
ships of the Metropolitan line, which
are equipped with the receiving ap
paratus, 30 test the working OF the
system. These tests have been uni
formly satisfactory.
The telephone wires on the ships
never fail to pick up the sounds Of
the bells at distances ranging from
four to ten miles. AS there is no diff
ficulty In locating the direction from
which the sounds come, the mariner
by the use of the signal system, is en-
abled to know his position, when nea
a signal station, If he has wandere,
from his course for any reason, or
he is picking his way through a dan
gerous passage In fog or storm.

would have been avoided had the sub

Railroad Rate Legislation

Testiyfing before the Senate Commit
tee at Washington, Interstate Gem
MERGE Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition TO give to
that Commission the power to regulate
railway rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develope their own bust
ness. | have never advocated any law,
and am not now in favor of any law,
which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any commits
sion or any ocurt. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time. while il Is done in some
countries, am opposed to it. *N*"
The railway rate is property. 1t is all
the property that the railway has got.
The rest of its property is not good fo1
anything unless it can charge rate.
Now it has always seemed TO me that
when rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of its property pre-
tanto. 1t is no. necessary that yor
should confiscate the property of a rail
road; it is not necessary that yor
should say that it shall not earn tire,
or four Der cent. When you put in 4
rate that is inherently unreasonable
you have deprived that compan of it
rights, of its property, and the circuit
court of the United States has jurisdic
ton under the fourteenth amendment
to restrain that. xs##I have looked a
these cases "A great many times, and
can only come to the conclusion tina
a railroad company is entitled t.
charge fair and reasonable rate, ant
if. any order of the commission, if an.
statute of state legislation take
away that rate, the fourteenth amend
ment protects the railway company. P"
