ALEXANDRIA, Va, March z. 1905.
The remarkably heavy traffic on the

morning of the Inauguration, has continued
until this forenoon without abatement.
Thousands of sightseers have visited the
points of historic interest in Alexandria.
and a continuous stream Of visitors has
poured into the gates at Mount Vernon.
The service of the electric road. badly
crippled by the recent collision at Spring
Park has several times broken down ut
terly under the strain. For hours this
morning passengers thronged the King
street station vainly waiting for a train.
From o'clock until II not a train left
for Washington, but several which were
packed and damned to the limit passed
on the route to Mount Vernon. Consid-
ering the limited number of motors avail
able for service in possession of the COM
pany it was evident that, with possibly one
or two exceptions, all the trains were
strung out on the line going in the same
direction. Whether this was by accident
or design is not known. but it was &C.
cepted by the waiting passengers as an
evidence of wretched acknowledgement.

All friction with Wisconsin officials
because of Minnesota grain inspection
at Superior is to be avoided by the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion of Minnesota thru the removal OF
all cause for complaint. So says Com
missioner G. f. Staples, who has just
returned from Duluth, where he in
,structed the Minnesota grain inspect
ors in accordance with this policy. He
said today:
The Duluth service is today just as
it has been right along, and will con-
tinue so, with but slight change in the
program. We have concluded, in order
to remove any question of cause of
complaint, to request Superior grain
shippers who desire Minnesota inspec-
ton (and they all do), to have allsves-
sells containing their grain to be in
spected transferred to Duluth waters.
think there is no question now as to
the right Of the Minnesota inspectors
to proceed under the old rule, but the
transferring Of vessels absolutely to
unquestionable territory will do away
with all complaint by Wisconsin,. We
have no intention to annoy Wisconsin

surprise on the Loftus-Hubbard COM

Of discriminating grain rates.
The LOTUS Hubbard company COM
planned that rate of cents to the
twin cities had been in effect for a
period of time (tho it has since been
withdrawn from Alton; that the Lof-
tus-Hubbard company had been charged
5 cents from Hastings to the twin
cities, an intermediate point from At
ton; hence, that the "iong and short
haul' clause of the Minnesota law
had been violated. r..
Mr.. Root explained that Alton was
one side Of the river. Hastings on the
other. That it was possible for cars
from Alton to be switched from the
Alton branch on the main line of the
Milwaukee across the river from
Hastings and without ever, being
brought to that city, tho for a present
matter of convenience the cars are, as
rule, brought into Hastings Ito be
picked up there by some main, line
train. Mr.. Root claimed that as the
| cars could be brought to thestwin cities
from Alton without even entering OF
touching Hastings, Hastings could moi
be called an intermediate point. b.,

matter under advisement. az.

popularity. Noticeable points of the
new utumn models are the two-toned
effects, the. soft folds Of maline and
tulle combined with wings and plumes,
and the lace veil, which this season is
draped in many novel ways. One stun

: This hat was of pale violet felt,

folds of white maIiEe and velvet

deeply turned up brim was bunch of

The turban remains the popular hat
for street and general use, but the Big

faring, brims which are twisted and
bent in a shape most suited to the
