Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of West
Virginia, has called a meeting of the
senate committee on interstate com
merce for April II to begin hearings
upon the subject of railroad rate regu-
Aaion. The committee win hear testi-
mony on the subject for some months,
and prepare a bill in time for submis-
sion to the extra session Of congress.
The Esch-TOwnsend bill probably will
be taken as basis, but it is likely to be
radically changed by the senate COM
mittee. 1t may be doubtful whether
the bill prepared by the latter will meet
the approval Of either President Roose-
welt or the people generally. but the
hearings held by the committee may
aid greatly in final decision of tire
matter by congress.

TAFT APPROVES.
Presidents Suggestion Regarding New
Bayonet Adopted.

Washington April 4.-secretary Taft
today approved recommendation
made by General Chaffee, chief of staff
based on the report of an army board
which made a special inquiry into the
subject of the army bayonet in all its
phases, as a weapon and as an article
of equipment Of the soldier, providing
for a new bayonet. This inquiry was
made at the suggestion of President
Roosevelt as a result of the experiences
of the armies in Manchuria.
In his memorandum to the secretary
of war, General Chaffee says:
Il am of the opinion that we should
no longer attempt a combination tool,
viz: bayonet and entrenching tool but
that we should decide finally that the
troops be furnished with implements,
each Efficient for its own purpose and
separate and distinct. This the COM
mittee recommends.
1.-THE bayonet recommended is of the
style at present issued to the army for
use with the Krag rife, differing only
in that its length is increased by six
inches -

BRADY HANGS ON.
Governor OF Alaska Ignores a Request
for His Resignation.

Washington. April A conditional
request has been made upon John G.
Brady, governor of Alaska for his
resignation. The suggestion was fol-
lowed by Secretary Hitchcock under
the direction of the president, and not
wfthstanding it was dispatched about
a month since. no response has been
received. The request grows out OF
the fact that Governor Brady is identi-
fed with mining company which is
extensively engaged in advertising its
affairs.
This fact was brought to the atten-
ton of the secretary several weeks
since and he Immediately took the
matter up with the president. They
agreed that the case was on par
with the charges made against the
Dawes commission a year ago, and the
secretary wrote to the governor calling
his attention to the requirements Of
the department in matters of this
character and telling him that he
must either vacate his position in the
company or resign his Office.
A reply has been due for about a
week.

STUBS IN EUROPE.
Kansas Statesman Expects to Go
Abroad Soon.

". r. Stubs has returned from his
trip to Mexico, where he went to look
after some proposed railroad work. He
is figuring on bidding on the contract.
It is some extension work in northern
Mexico, through the mountains, and
Mr.. Stubs says he presumes ten mil

Mr.. Stubs is still living in the

back to Lawrence as soon as he com
pletes some repairs on his Lawrence
home.
Some time during the spring Or
summer Mr.. Stubs expects to go to

about it today he said:
yes, I presume 1 will have to go
over there some time this spring or
summer I have some business over
there that must be looked after and
will have to go or send somebody.
1T was a matter of some comment
that Mr.. Stubs did not call on Gov
ernor Hoch this morning. He has
been in the governors office only once
since the Royce appointment, but he
said that he expected to see the gov
ernor soon. IT had lot of business
to look after this morning" he said,

PEACE TALK DROPPED.
Russia Is Expecting Rojestvensly to
Redeem Her.

st. Petersburg, April 4.=The an
nouncement that President Roosevelt
has left Washington on a vacation trip
is accepted here as evidence that the
efforts to draw Russia and Japan into
peace negotiations have come to grief
for the moment. No definite explana-
ton of exactly what happened is forth
coming, but the general impression is
that Japan either declined to treat
upon the Russian basis or demanded
a direct avowal that there was q
pacific disposition. At any rate the
advocates of a continuation of the war
seem secure Of their position and
everything indicates that the hope of
an immediate change of fortune is
staked on Vice Admiral Rojestvensky,
whose squadron, according to the best
information, is now actually on its
way to meet the Japanese. The ad-
miralty is greatly encouraged by the
prospects that Rojestvensky will be
able to defeat Admiral Togo owing to
the splendid reports which have Just
arrived here from Rojestvensky dated
from the island of Madagascar, re-
counting in detail the condition of the
ships and personnel and the results of
the target practice of the squadron
and of the maneuvers in which the
warships have been drilling for three
months.

oUR ORIENTAL CUsroafERs.

Our exports to China during
the eight months ending with
February show a remarkable gain
over previous years. being % mill
lions in the present fiscal year
to date, as against 50 millions for the
same period OF last year, IL "A millions
for the corresponding months of 1902,
and 1912 millions in the same months
Of 1900. At the present rate of expor-
tatfon our total sales to China viii
reach fully 20 million dollars for the
fun fiscal year. Cotton cloths con-
tribute more than half the total value
of our sales to China.
To Japan, which stands second in
the purchase Of American merchandise
by oriental countries, our exports dur
ing the s months ending with Febru-I
airy, 1905. also established new high
record, being SIS, 93O,742. as against
S15,643,331 in 1904, SIG, 334,4S5 in
1902. and $3.16S.S69 in 1895, the fig
ures in each case relating to the first
eight months of the year. While cot
ton cloths form the principal item in
our exports to China, raw cotton con-
tributes by far the largest item in our
exports to Japan, though the quantity
huctuates considerably from year to-
year, according to the level of prices
prevailing in the United States. When
the price of American cotton becomes
abnormaIly high Japan purchases a.
large share of her raw cotton from
India, that cotton being Of a shorter
staple and therefore lower in price.
During the eight months ending
with February, 1905. the expectation
of raw cotton to Japan from the United
States amounted to 67,785.875 pounds,
valued at S7,OS7,186, the average ex-
port price being to Japan. 1914 cents
per pound, and to all countries. SO
cents. During the corresponding
months of the preceding year, when
the average export price of cotton was
11.S cents, our exports of that article
to Japan amounted to but 20s177,1 III
pounds, valued at liza cents per
pound. In 1900, when the export price
averaged but 7k cents per pound,
Japan took during the first eight
months of the fiscal year III million
pounds of raw cotton. In 1901 the
price of cotton in the United States
advanced to 9.S cents, and JaDan took
but Z 2-S million pounds during the
eight months under review. In 1902,
when the export price was about s
cents, Japan took 70 million pounds
of American cotton during the first
eight months of the year; but I'M
1904, when the export price had adj
vanced to II cents per pound. that
country purchased but 20 million
pounds of cotton during the CORES
ponding period of the year; while in
the present year, with lower prices in
the United States. Japan is again in
creasing her consumption of American
raw cotton, the exports during the
first eight months having been 671z
million pounds, or more than treble the
amount exported thither in the same
months of the preceding year.

PADEREWSKl AT 81.
Change in Schedule Only Applies to
First Six Rows.

An announcement has been made Of
a change in prices for the Paderewsk
concert at the Auditorium next Tues
day evening. All the seats in the first
six rows Of the parquet will cost 81
each. This is necessary on account of
the fact that Paderewsh absolutely re-
fuses to appear in public at prices low
er than the 81 schedule.
The local management made a strong
effort to secure the promise of Pad
erewski's manager to waive that rule in
Topeka on account of the peculiar con-
ditions which exist here and also on
account of the fact that entertainments
at the Auditorium have almost always
been at popular prices. The local man
agement had hopes for a time that
Paderewsld would not insist on the 81
schedule but final notice has been re-
ceived that Paderewski would not waive
the rule.
The 81 price has been made simply to
make it appear in the printed adver-
tisements that the scale of prices runs
that high. As a matter of fact the first
six rows at the Auditorium are quite
close to the stage and are rarely occu-
pied except when the crowd tests the
capacity Of the house.
The indications are that Paderewski
win have as big an audience as Melba
drew upon the occasion of her visit here
not long ago.
In the big hall it will hardly make
an appreciate difference to those who
wish to attend, that the few front rows
of the parquet has been placed at the
new price. There will be plenty of 81
and $1.50 seats for all who desire them.
Seats for this attraction may be Sc
cured now by mailing check or money
for the number of seats desired to G -
Stansfeld, the druggist. The chart will
be opened Thursday morning.
