CLASH AT CAPITAL
SCARES RAILROADS
Transportation Chiefs Fear Extra
Session and Radical Rate
Bill Will Result.
Magnates Fear They Cannot
Count on New House and
Senators.
Now York SUN Special Service.


New York, Feb. 14.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent sends the
following dispatch:
Railroad presidents are regarding the
struggle between President Roosevelt
and the senate with ill-disguised con-
Germ. They have. only to maintain
their present position and nothing will
be done by the senate on the subject
Of giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to make rates, further
than to postpone action.
The railroads, however, are not sure
this would be safe proceeding in view
| OF the changed relations which are now.
apparent; On the contrary, under GER
! tain conditions, they may favor action
at once.
Some of the most important railroad
men in the country have been asking
Washington what will be the effect of
the contest upon the president in regard
to an extra session. They fear if the.
contest goes on-and there are indica-
sions with the senate Immediately
president will call an extra session in
| the spring. If that should happen, the
railroads will not be in good shape to
meet demand from Roosevelt. that
congress pass either the Esch-T Townsend
bill or an equally radical measure.
The new house will contain about 100
, republicans who have never sat in con-
gress before, and who were elected on
the Roosevelt tidal wave. These might
/ carry thru the house an even more radi-
cal bill than that which passed with
such an overwhelming majority last
week. '.-.-,
| The next senate, too, will be far diff.
ferent from that which is now sitting
There are dozen new members, and
the railroads do not know whether they
agree with the president or the trans
portation lines. It is known Roosevelt
eral votes-possibly by nine OF. ten.
Governor LaFollette Of Wisconsin,
whose chief issue is railroad regula-
tions, wil1be member of the next sem
ate. Burkett of Nebraska will be an
other, and he was not elected until he
declared he was with the president on
the railroad fight. There are new sem
ators from Nevada, Idaho, Washington,
California, Indiana, Connecticut and
Montana-aH of whom were chosen by
: legislatures which were elected on the
Roosevelt ticket, and most Of them are
expected to side with the president on
| this subject. t :.

YEARS WAR COST
GAR 10000 men
10000 Sick and Wounded Pass
Thru Hospitals - $4,000
Killed in Battle.
Japs Now Estimate the Russian
Losses at Hei-kou-tai at
About $4,000.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 14-The official
returns for the first year of the war,
not including the Port Arthur stats:
tics, show that 100, 439 officers and men
passed thru the hospitals going north.
Of this number 1,71O officers were
wounded and 1908 were sick; $500
men were wounded and 1851 were
sick; 4.0O7 subsequently died in hospi
tails; GAIA wounded and 11,24S sick
were invaded; 9,429 returned to Rus
STA and 1854 are still in hospitals.
Over $4,000 therefore presumably re-
turned to the ranks.
These figures do not include the mum
bers Of those killed on the field Of bat
tie and probably not those slightly in
,jured who remained temporarily in felC
hospitals. The showing is considered
remarkably good.
The proportion dying in hospitals il
very low, the total loss to the active
army in wounded and sick being a little
over $4,000 of whom almost half have
still chance Of returning to the ranks
The other half will be invaded or re
turned to Russia.
The killed in battle are estimated tt
have numbered between forty and fit.
thousand.

TUNNEL TO CARRY
MAIL IN CHICAGO
City and Transfer Mail Will Be
Moved Underground, Expe-
diting Service.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Feb. IA plan to transfer
al Of Chicago's second, third and
.1fourth-c;1ass mail- matter between rail
adopted yesterday by the government
officials in Washington. The Illinois
Tunnel company will operate for this
service special mail cars, to be locked
with United States locks, and to be used
exclusively for carrying mail. The
ears are to be designed and built imme-
|diately. The service will cost the gov
eminent $4,000 year.
The plan contemplates not only carry
ing the mails in and out Of the new
postoffice building from the stations
underground, but also for the carrying
of Htransfer' mail-that which is con-
veyed from one station to another in its
trip across the country. This amounts
to 600 tons day. Tie benefit in the
use of the tunnels is not to be con
fined to Chicago, but to extend to the
entire country. The new plan eventual:
ly will do away with the use Of mail
wagons altogether:

than made up for his eccentricities.
When Chantrey, afterward so famous,

Last Monday afternoon an alarm
of fire rang out, and almost instantly
large crowd was out on the street.
The residence of Robert Newman was
discovered in blaze, and had it not
been for the heroic efforts of the
Freewater chemical engine and the
Milton hose cart, the building and
contents would soon have been de-
stroyed. The roof was ablaze when
the chemical engine arrived. 1t had
the fire under control when the hose
cart came upon the scene. With the
two the fire was soon put out:
The roof and rafters and all above
the second floor was practically de-
stroyed. The paper throughout the
house will have to be taken off and
replaced. The contents of the house
were all removed and saved.
The loss is estimated at about $500,
partially insured.
Just how the fire originated is not
known, but it is supposed from de-
fective flue, as it was confined prin-
cipally to the attic and ceiling.
