was found that William Nichols was the

GOLD is LEAVING RUSSIA.
Movement Causes Much Speculation
in Berlin.

Berlin, Dec. 23.-Gold has begun to
arrive in large quantities at the I'M
perial Bank of Germany, from st.
Petersburg, About s3,75O,OOO arrived
recently, while the amount included
in the last bank return is understood
to be about $13,O00,O00. The move
ment is expected to continue until a
total of S25, 100000 is reached.
The Berlin market is indulging in
much speculation concerning the
meaning of these shipments. The
best authorities say that the gold is
intended to redeem the issue of Rus
sian treasury notes, sold in Germany
France and Austria in May and June
through the Mendelsohn BInk of Ber-
lin, as the notes will mature in Febru-
airy and March.
Rumors to the effect that the Rus
sian treasury will be unable to pay
the January coupons of the foreign
debt have been set at rest by the an
nouncement that the payment has
been going on since last week.

JACK 0'BRIEN WINS.
Beats Rohi. Fitzsimmons In Thirteenth
Round.

San Francisco Dec 22.-When Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons and philadelphia"
Jack O'Brien entered the ring at Me-
chanic's pavilion to battle for the light
heavyweight honors, O'Brien was fav-
orite in the betting at 10 to 8. The
shifting of odds forcing the Philadel-
phian into favoritism came rather
suddenly. Up to late hour the Cor
nishman was a pronounced first choice,
due to many large walkers which had
been. placed on him earlier in the
week. O'Brien's supporters then ma
terialized in unexpected numbers and
money continued to roll into the pool
sellers boxes and the odds were quick
ly cut to 10 to s in O'Brien's favor.
The men had agreed to fight at
catch weights. O'Brien gave out his
weight as 165 pounds, while Fitz is
said to have tipped the beam at 15S
pounds.
Mechanics pavilion held one of the
greatest crowds in it's history. The
galleries bulged with congested mass
of humanity and hundreds were denied
admission to the upper part of the
house. On the main floor every seat
was occupied. Two four-round pre-
liminaries preceded the feature event.

University Systems Weakness.

DR.. David Starr Jordan, of Leland
Stanford university, says: 1.-TWO
great weaknesses are evident in the
English university system; one is
the prevalence of sinecures. Half
the men supposed to teach or con-
duct research do nothing of the kind.
The other weakness is the domin-
ance of the examination. English
higher training is largely matter OF
books and words. The men are with
out power to adapt themselves to new
conditions. This is the secret of the
success of American engineers in
London. They are ready for what
ever turns up, not for the particular
problem it has taken three months to
cram"

Industrial Precious Metal.

The worlds supply of platinum dur
ing the year 1904 was about 1880
pounds, 1920 pounds of which came
from Russia. The United States pro-
duced 208 ounces, valued at $4,16O.
All of this came from California and
Oregon, the Wyoming mine having
suspended operations, The price OF
platinum increased 10 per cent during
the year According to DR.. David T..
Day, of the United States geological
survey, the outlook for an increased
production during 1905 Is good. The
present price of platinum--$2O.5O an
ounce-is the highest which this metal
has reached in recent years.

What a Government Examination BY

The French schoolboys had recently
to pass government examination AT
the close of the primary course. The
invention of balloons was the subject
given. Balloons were invented,
wrote one boy, "by the brothers Mont
golfer, who were paper makers.
They then set light to the paper, and
the balloon went up" Another boy
included a treatise on ballast in his
essay, with disastrous consequences.

name given to men who ride in pai-

some sand and gravel and put 1t IN

SENATOR LONG ON RATES.
speaks Ia Kansas City About Railroad
legislation.

Kansas City, Dec 23-United States
Senator Chester l. Long, Of Kansas,
addressing the Knife and Fork Club
on Proposed Rate Legislation" said
The act to regulate interstate com
merce was passed in 1887 and has
since been amended seven times.
When the original act passed the
house it contained no provision for
commission. All the controversaries
arising under II were to be determin-
ed by the courts. The interstate COM
merce commission was created by a
senate amendment to the bill and was
finally agreed to in the house. The
original act gave the commission large
powers of investigation and provided
for the institution of suits in the courts
to compel obedience to its orders. In
1897 the supreme court decided that
the commission did not have the pow
err to fix a rate for the future to take
the place of one that it determined
was unreasonable and unjust. The
commission had exercised this power
prior to this decision, not without
question by the railroads, but in most
instances with their acquiescence
Ever since the supreme court decided
that the commission did not have this
power there has been an effort made
to give the power to it. The courts
have always been open to a shipper
who wished to attack a rate as unrea-
sonable and unjust. He could always
bring a suit and recover the excess
above which the court might find was
a reasonable rate. Under the inter-
state commerce act instead of bring
ing the suit in court he can lodge his
complaint with the commission and
ask for an investigation and order.
The chief criticism made by shippers
on the present procedure is the long
delay and their inability to secure
speedy action on their complaints. 1t
| is admitted on all sides that addition
al legislation is necessary. 1t is gen
| orally understood that the legislation
| will be enacted in this session OF con-

because Defiance Starch is free from

There Is Objection 10 His Holding Two
Jobs at Once.
CONFIRMATION IS RECALLED.
May Tie Confirmation Until After
Holidays-J. 3. Bishop, the Canal
"Press Agent" is Made Member OF
the Board.
the Board.

Washington, Dec. Determinations
by the senate of the nominations OF
the members of the isthmian canal
commission were reconsidered today
in executive session, and a motion
was adopted calling upon the presi-
dent for the return of the notification
of the senate's previous action. When
this has been done. the nominations
again will be referred to the inter-
oceanic canal committee for consider
alton.
Before the decision was reached to
reconsider the vote, charges OF rail-
reading" nominations were made by
several minority senators, and counter
charges that the protestants were pro-
ceeding in manner not prescribed by
the rules OF the senate were made by
Republican senators. The decision de-
veloped the fact that there had been
no poll of the canal committee on the
nominations in question. and as re-
suit objection to reconsideration was
withdrawn.
1t is generally understood that the
purpose of the minority senator's IN
asking to have the nominations re-
turned is to permit protest against
Chairman Theodore P. Shonts holding
a position on the commission and the
presidency of the Glover Leaf railroad
at the same time.
The controversy in the senate re-
suited from motion to take up the
nomination of j. B. Bishop as a men,
Der of the commission, which was only
sent to the senate today.
1t it is true that an attempt will be
made to hold up the confirmation OF
Mr.. Shonts on the ground that he is
holding dual positions-the chairman
ship of the commission and the presi-
dency of the Glover Leaf road-action
cannot be had before the holidays.
An effort will be made, however, to
have a poll of the committee taken
tomorrow and the nominations again
confirmed.
The only notable feature of the open
session of the senate today was a
brief discussion of the question of
railroad legislation by Messrs. Foraker
and Culbertson. The controversy was
precipitated by some remarks made
by Mr.. Foraker in connection with a
request preferred by him for the
printing Of papers connected with
case recently before the interstate
commerce commission. The Ohio SEN
ator reiterated his position on the
question of rate legislation, saying that
he differed from other senators only
on the point as to the remedies to be
applied for the evils of which COM
plants have been made.
