17I6 to a nation of 10000, 600 people in 1905;
from fringe of colonies on the Atlantic
seaboard to an unbroken chain of states
bounded east and west by the two mighty
oceans; with possessions of untold value
across the seas; from a people concerned
entirely with their own protection to peo-
pie largely concerned with the welfare CT
other peoples; from a nation whose flag was
unknown outside of its own confined 40

thorough and intelligent thought.
Transportation Problem.
Transportation is one of the greatest
problems of our modern life. 1t concerns
directly the mighty forces of national and
international commerce. 1t presents 1ues-
tons calling for the highest intellig ence
and the keenest sagacity. In this interna-
tional congress you bring those qualities to
bear and in your deliberations you are
showing your appreciation of the fact that
in the great onward march of progress in
tellectual grasp of principles and details
and the moral integrity which is the root
of all commercial success have to be Sc
verely tested. You are not only meeting
the demands of the present, but you are
anticipating those of the future-a future
that one of the greatest of our Americans
saw with such clear vision when he said:
There is TO be a commerce yet on tins
globe. compared with which all we have
ever had will be but as the size of the hand
compared with the cloud that belts the
hemisphere. There is to be a resurrection
of nations. there is to be a civilization that
shall bring even that vast populous CONT
nent of Asia into new forms of life, with
new demands. There is to be a time when
liberty shall bless the nations of the earth

when men shall want more and shall buy

Railway Rate Legislation.
The question of railway rate legislation
was discussed by ]. N. Baldwin of the legal
department of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad Speaking for the west, he
declared that no legislation on this subject
is demanded from that section. He said
that government rate-making meant the
transfer of the control of property from
its owners to a set of men elected for a
term of years, and under certain conditions
the legislative function of government
might be usurped by the executive.
The international railway congress yes
terday unanimously adopted resolutions
expressing sympathy to the injured, the
families of the deceased, the railroad COM
pany and the employees involved in the rail-
way accident early yesterday morning at
Harrisburg. The resolutions were offered
by Sir George Armitage of England and
adopted by the congress by rising vote.
AT the general session of the congress
conclusions were adopted without discus
sion on the following topics: Wooden Sleep
ers or crossties, improved rail crossings,
locomotives of great power pooling locomo-
tives, lighting. heating and ventilation of
trains, automatic block system, baggage
and express parcels, suburban traffic. slow
freight rates, duration and regulation of
work, influence of light railways on main
lines, and the direct financial cooperation
by the state and by localities interested in
the development of light railways. There
are eight topics yet to dispose of.
Notes of the Railways.
One of the features of the appliance ex-
hibition that attracts marked attention is
the fire engine house established on the
grounds by Chief Belt of the fire depart
ment. A force of twelve men under the
direction of a captain is quartered in one
of the most attractive buildings on the
grounds. Sleeping accommodations are
provided for the men, who have been on
duty with the exposition ever since Ii open
ed. A large chemical engine is kept in
the house and enough hose is attached to
the engine to permit the firemen to reach
any section of the grounds without taking
the engine from the house. On the front
of the building is large gong to be used
in case of fire, and there are other gongs
at various sections OF the grounds. At
each exhibit building occupied by one firm
and at a number of places In the main
building there are signal stations from
which watchmen are required to send sig
nails to the headquarters at frequent in

springs are used, one being in the usual
position between the draft members and
one the either side Instead of follower
plates, heavy keys are used, which extend
through slots in the draft members or sills
thus engaging all three springs. The out
side springs are mounted upon short sec
tons of Iron tubing. which are slotted to
make openings for the keys. When there
is considerable space between the stills a
four-spring gear may be used, which gives
high spring resistance. In rounding
curves, on account of the shortness of the
rigging, it is very flexible, and the outside
springs automatically centraize the draw
head.
Among the exhibits is the Keller eccen-
trio curtain. made by the Federal Manufac-
turing Company. Elyria. Ohio. The eccen-
trio curtain is absolutely self-aligning and
self-adjusting. Just compare these unusual
features with what is commonly observed
in the behavior of all pinch-handle fixtures.
The eccentric" has no handles, and no
matter at what point you seize the lower
edge of the curtain II slides up and down
with certainty and accuracy. The eccen-
trically pierced rollers play a very i'm
portant part, as they absolutely hold the
curtain at any desired place, and the old
trouble of creeping up is entirely avoided.
These curtains are now used by the lead
ing roads Of the United States and are
giving universal satisfaction.

HONOR For A HERO.

Republics may be ungrateful;
they may be slow to recognize dis
tinguished service, but when they do
act. they move in the right direction.
So it may be expected that congress
will favorably consider the recon-
mendation Of President Roosevelt to
erect monuments to John Paul Jones
and John Barry, naval commanders oi
the revolutionary war. President
Roosevelt indorses the work of Am
bassador Porter in attempting to locate
the grave of Admiral Jones, and asks
congress to appropriate $4,000 re-
uuired to conduct the search for tn,
naval hsros body in the abandoned
cemetery of st. Louis, Paris. The bod!
of the famous commander Of the Boi
home Aichard is believed to have beel
buried there in 1892.

ASTORIA GROCERY.
Omaha daily bee., 1905-11-02

describes that city as having experienced
u dreadful day, the defenceless populace
being at the mercy of a bowling and
armed rabble of $1,000 men calling them
selves loyalists and led by disguised po-
licemen and their wretched dupes."
The dispatch says: THE Jews made a
stout resistance and their successful
bravery entailed lamentable sacrifices. 1t
is impossible to ascertain the casualties,
but rumor puts the number of killed and
wounded as high as 1900. Many were in
jured by bombs, which the mobs used
wholesale. Not until late at night, when
the murderous work had gone unchecked
for hours were the troops brought, cor
dons placed around the Jewish quarter
and quiet somewhat restored.
The la~abiding citizens are incensed
with Governor General Kaulbers, who is
held to be solely responsible, ''slnce the
civil governor was deposed yesterday. The
only hope is that the worst has passed,
as in all probability the mobs have nearly
exhausted their stock of cartridges"
The Odessa correspondent of the Stand
ard tells a similar tale. He says: "A gem
eral who was leading a loyalist procession
was shot dead. Half company of Cos
sacks forming a personal guard for the
town residence of their commander at
tempted to barricade the street for the
purpose of defense, but were scattered by
bomb and the Cossack commander fled
from the vengeance of the crowd in civilian
attire
1T is reported that the casualties will
reach 1000, but it is impossible to verify
this report The last bomb thrown in
Deribass street killed fifteen and wounded
forty. Within ten minutes ten others were
killed nearly on the same spot. The Jews
are said TO be the only persons who have
resorted 10 the throwing of bombs, but
the extremity of their peril must be re-
membered Our only salvation is the COM
plete military occupation of the city"
The Odessa correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says today's casualties will
probably reach some hundreds He says
II is reported the soldiers refused to fire
on the people when ordered and fired on
the Cossacks, who came to quell the dis
turbance. killing or wounding many Of
them
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph takes a more hopeful view
OF the situation than that taken by the
other correspondents. II eadmits that de-
termined efforts have been made to keep
up the popular excitement, but thinks that
the peaceful elements are awakening to a
sense OF their duty to their families and
to the country and that the bulk of the
population is beginning to realize the po-
tentialities Of the enormous boons that
have been granted. He expresses the opin-
ion that the outbreaks and disorders are
near the end.
