Rapid Service in Germany.

Ever since the experiments of 1902-OS
with high-speed electric motor cars over
the specially prepared line between Berlin
and zossen were concluded the question OF
an electric railway for rapid service be-
tween Berlin and Hamburg has been a
topic of earnest and constant discussion in
the daily and technical press of Germany.
In reporting this to the State Department.
Consul General Mason says that such a
move is now on foot and that it will not be
long before trains will be making trips be-
tween these two cities in one hour and
twenty-five minutes. Mr.. Mason says that
the present steam railway route of III
miles can be shortened by new direct
line to about 155 miles. The best steam
trains now make the trip in three hours
and thirty-two minutes but accommoda-
ton trains take from five to six and one
half hours.

The Ducal Timber Syndicate.


1t was Bezobrazoff who organized the
syndicate of grand dukes and princes to
develop the timber interests along the Yalu
river, and he succeeded in inducing the czar
to take a large number of shares. Having
completed his organization in 1902, he was
sent to Manchuria to look after the inter-
ests of the company, carrying with him a
letter written in the cars own hand, which
gave him unlimited authority over every
body and everything in the east 1t was
he who secured the appointment of Admiral
Alexieff as viceroy of Manchuria. and he
is credited with having accomplished the
overthrow of M. De Witte the great min
lister of finance, because the latter attempt
ed to counterfeit his influence and expose
his schemes.
1t was BezobraZoff also. according to the
understanding at ST. Petersburg. who con-
WINGED the car that Japan would not fight,
and his opinion was confirmed by Alexieff,
kuropatkin, Baron Rosen, the resident
minister to Japan. and other persons on the
ground. 1t Is known that King Edward
and Kaiser Wilhelm both warned Nicholas
not to provoke Japan because they knew
that the latter was ready and eager for war
and that Russia was not. 1t is known also
that the kaiser even went SO far as to tele
graph Nicholas that his neglect to respond
to the demands of Japan would cost Russia
all that she had gained by her aggressive
policy in the east. Japan was willing that
the Russians should remain in Manchuria
provided they did not interfere in Korean
affairs. and the kaiser urged the czar to
make such agreement. But BeZobrazof
and the grand dukes who were interested
with him in Korean enterprises were more
potential. They said that the Japanese
were monkeys and could not fight If they
would and that the Russians could con-
troll both Manchuria and Korea without the
slightest difficulty IL they only showed a
determination to do so.
Bezobrazoff is now out of favor. No
body seems to know just how the break
came with his imperial master, but he has
left st. Petersburg, and when last heard
from was in Berlin. where h5 has had some
thing to do or at least pretends to have
some agency in connection with the pend
ing loan.
The Grand Dukes.
The grand ducal ring, or cabal, as 1t is
usually called, is composed of the brothers,
uncles and cousins of the car. who are
very numerous, and form sort of execu-
tive family council. The inventory of grand
dukes is very long. The imperial relatives
have large families. Most Of the sons hold
important honorary military and civil posi-
lions. in which they obstruct rather than
promote public business, because the most
of them are not willing to perform the la
Dor and assume the responsibilities attached
to their positions, and leave everything to
their favOrite subordinates. The latter In
many cases are incompetent, mercenary
and corrupt. and are responsible for the

especially in the Kansas oil field, and
the unusually large margins between
the price of crude oil or petroleum and

tons have resulted in whole or in part
from any contract, combination in the
form of a trust or otherwise, or con
sptracy in restraint of trade and com
merce among the several states and
territories, or with foreign countries.
also whether the said prices have been
controlled in whole or in part by any
corporation, joint stock company, or
corporate combination engaged in com
merce among the several states and
territories or with foreign nations, also
whether such corporation, joint stock
company or corporate combination,

manner discriminates against any par

corporation or corporations, COM
