gagged in repairing the roof. The casu.
atty list includes two persons known to

crushed the roof of theatre building
adjoining, iniuring several men working
there. Four trains stood in the station
ready TO start, and hundreds OF persons
had gathered there when the walls gave
way. The foremost ears were caught
beneath the mass and crushed, but were
fortunately un.occupied All the casu'
altics are confined TO the workmen on

Captain Baker Says Talk Of Il Dy-
Ing out Is Nonsense.
SENT FOR INVESTIGATION
Says the Only Way to Remedy the
Trouble Ia to Rescind the Exclusion
Laws, and He Il Certain that This
Will not Be Done.

San Francisco, Dee. 5.-Captain A.
C. Baker, of the cruiser Raleigh. who
has been detached for several months,
TO study conditions in China, arrived
today on the Maachuria, en- route to
Washington, here he win lay the result
of his investigations before the Presi.
dent.
Captain Baker says all talk of the
boycott dying out is nonsense. The stu.
alton In China is controlled by II
guilds, who have given orders not to
ltandIe AmeticaS goods. Warehouses
in Canton. he says, are full of American
-four. In the meantime Australians are
rushing in inferior flour, to take ad-
vantage of our difficulty. Chinese mer.
chants admit our -four is superior, but
are prepared to make the sacrifice for
principle.
Baker states the boycott Is just now
reaching the Interior and if it were de-
clared off now, it would take year for
the news to reach the provinces up the
river.
Captain Baker goes on to say that
not only Australians, but the Japanese
are taking advantage of the boycott.
The Japanese are establishing cotton
mills in China and cheap labor is in a
position to drive US out of the field.
He expects our vast Kerosene and
steel business will be taken over by the
Japanese as well. The only thing would
be to reseind the Chinese exclusion laws,
and this, he says win not &c done,
Captain Baker concludes by saying the
boycott is getting worse every day.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Read in Both Branches Of Congress at
Yesterdays Session.

Washington. Dec 5.-The Presidents
message to Congress was sent to that
body by President Roosevelt yesterday,
and was read in both houses: II fol-
losw in part:
The people Of this country continue
to enjoy great prosperity. Undoubt-
edly there will be ebb and flow in such
prosperity, and this ebb and flow will
be felt more or less by all members Of
the community, both by the deserving
and the undeserying. A general failure
Of crops would hurt Us all. Again, IL
the folly of man mars tho general
wellbeing. then those who are innocent
of the folly will have TO pay part Of
the penalty incurred by those who are
guilty Of the folly. A panic brought
on by the speculative folly of part Of
the business community dwould hurt
the NHoit E'tSiHtrS tOiilhuHlts.
Man of Capacity Becomes Rich.
In our industrial and social system
the interests Of all men are 50 closely
intertwined that in the immense ma
jority of cases a straight dealing man
who by his efficiency, by his ingenuity
and industry, benefits himself must also
benefit Others. Normally the man of
great productive capacity who becomes
rich by guiding the labor Of other
men does so by enabling them to pro.
duct more than they uould produce
without his guidan9; and both he
and they share in the benefit, which
comes also to the public at large.

S35, 900, 900 in bonds outstanding in
1898, there are now about three times
that amount of bonds, or SGT 100000
of bonds that practically mean water.
The point in connection with rate
regulation is this: The new bonds
simply mean watered stock upon
which the public must pay interest.
The roads must pay interests on
these bonds under the head of ex.
pense before the management begins
to figure a profit. The public is ask
ed to pay it. This excess of new
bonds over the old bonds does not
represent a single dollar actually
invested in railroads. The roads
must make the millions OF dollars of
interest upon bonds of ficticious
value out of the people. The rates
will be put at point by the roads
where The interest will be collected.
1t is an ingenious form of robbery
and one which makes either rate reg
ulation or government control an
absolute necessity.

WHY WE NEED RAILROAD RATE
REGULATION.
Msdsrase In prIos-Mskes pursst food.

Much has been said regarding
railroad rate regulation, both for
and against. 1t is patent to nearly
all that in many instances rates are
excessive, that determinations are
made, and that combinations are
made which eliminate competition,
but it appears to us that the cause
Of these complaints and the real
danger has been overlooked. We
refer to the bonding of railroads and
the recaptalization which has taken
place within the trust making era
of the past five years. To give a
correct idea of this we can not do
better than to give facts and figures
as printed in the Saturday evening
Post by that we'll known authority,
Will Payne. For instance, take the
project of James B. Hill and j. p.
Morgan to gain control of the Bur
lington railroad,
In August 1896, Burlington stock
sold as low AS S53 a share, and S83
share was the highest for that year.
In 1898 the stock sold from SS3 to
$l25 a share. In 1899 it averaged
about Sl35 share, and the highest
price in 1900 was Sl44 share. Total
sales of the stock in that year were
three million shares.
With the beginning of 1901 the
buying of Burlington decidedly i'm
proved In January, sales amounted
to 100000 shares-a third as much
as in the preceding twelve months
and in February to $4,000 shares.
Nevertheless, in these two months
the price kept at about Sl45 share.
Evidently there were good many
tired holders to whom that price
an advance Of 800 share over the
low market OF 1896, looked attractive.
In March, sales were over 100000
shares, and the price rose from $l45
to Sl75 share. In April, sales were
as large as in March and the price
rose from SITS to Sl99 share. Then
on the first day of May, circular
was addressed to stockholders say
ing that the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific roads had Jointly
agreed to purchase Burlington at
$500 share, giving therefor their
joint four per cent. bonds, which
which would be secured by the de-
posit as collateral of the purchased
stock. The circular also said that
any stockholder who wished to do
so could take his pay, Sl60 in
bonds and $40 in cash, and that an
even greater proportion of cash
might be available for those who
wished it, as Messrs j. p. Morgan e.
Co. had organized syndicate which
had agreed to supply cash to the
amount of S50,OO0,O0O to be applied
toward paying for the stock OF such
holders as preferred money to the
new bonds.
Under this offer, Burlington stock
to the amount of $l07 100000 was
deposited and the two roads issued
to pay therefor $214,0O0,00O of four
per cent. bonds. These bonds, in
fact, are simply the joint notes-of-
hand OF the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific with the purchased
