AGAINST RATE POLICY.
Secrecy, However, Prevails Among Rail
road Employees Who Oppose Federal
Control as President Plans

CHICAGO. H., Dec. 19.-More or
less secrecy prevails in regard to the re
ported movement to organize the railroad
employees throughout the country to So
cure concerted action against the Roosc-
welt idea of rate legislation. Preliminary
steps with this end in view were taken
several weeks ago by committees from
the five different brotherhoods of rail
road men, and it is understood that the
same committees are to meet today to
arrange for Il general mass meeting.
Rate regulation. in the opinion of the
employees, means a subsequent reduction
in wages for them and they propose
strong organization to oppose any move
TO give the government direction of ira file
rates. The plan, as reported, is to intlu-
ence Il firm stand on the part of Con-
grcss against any rate revision measures
and lobby may be sent to Washington
for that purpose 1t is expected a ma
tional meeting will be called and every
city in the union and each railroad or
ganization asked TO send representatives.
Representatives of the railroad broth
erhood deny that there has been any CO.
ercion on the part of the railroads to in
duce the organizations Of their employees
to take up the fight against rate revision.

RELICS OF ORDINATIONS.
valuable Collection from England
Loaned to Public Library.

A small collection of coronation rel
worn at different English coronations
by the royalty and the principal at
tendants, was loaned to the public
museum recently, says the Kansas
City Journal. The cloth samples are
the property of Hutton II. Haley and
were sent to him by his grandmother,
Mrs. Haley, Of London, Eng, who
was in touch with many OF the tail
ors of London, and who was placed in
a position to make the collection,
which is probably the only one Of its
kind eXtant.
The most treasured piece of cloth Is
a strip taken from the coronation robe
worn by James H. in 1859, refined and
worn by Queen Victoria at her corona
ton in 1888, and later remodeled for
the royal Inauguration Of Edward
VII. in 1902 The cloth is of a ricl
lustrous red and was actually part
of the robe until 1t was remodeled for
Edward VII.
The collection also includes a piece
Of the beautiful ermine and gold
trimmed robe worn by the Princess
Victoria at her fathers coronation in
1902. There were sixty yards Of gold
braid, costing 50, 100, and forty yards
of ermine of an almost equivalent val
ue. The cloak was upon a purple
back ground and lined with white
satin.
Carmine and white samples OF tho
official robes worn by the bishops at
the coronation, white and vince col
ored satin, corresponding to that in
the robes worn by the Knights of the
Path, ana a blue and carmine com
bination clipped from the unfinished
official carb of the Prime Minister,
Lord Rosebery, who was one Of the
central figures at King Edwards cor
grafton, are also among the relics.

he or she Is seized by the gendarmcs
prisoner is taken to the citadel and
into the office Of what Is known as
the tenth pavilion" There he is
photographed and his valuables taken
from him. Men and women all re-
ceive the same treatment. as there are
no female warders in the citadel.
After being closely inspected by the
warders. the prisoners name, age, Oc-
cupation, etc, are entered in the
books, and he Is conducted into a
long, dimly lighted corridor, into
which a number Of small iron doors
open. They are those Of the cells
One Of these doors Is opened, the
prisoner feels rough push from be-
hind, hears the clang of door, finds
himself in narrow den, furnished
with bed, table and chair, and light
ed by n small barred window high up
In the wall.
The silence, but for the occasional
tramp Of sentries' feet, Is as the
silence of the grave: the air. damp
and close, bed. hard and narrow.
Worse than all are the two eyes,
which. glaring through the grating In
the door, watch him day and night till
1t seems as If they look into his very
soul, reading the secrets he must use
all his strength to keep.
But there are other harlships to
be borne. No books. nor letters. not

q cigarette. not even the friendly TICK
of a watch breaks the monotony OF
those long, unmarked hours and rest
less nights. His warders treat him
like a dog; he spends five minutes
daily outside his cell-three In small
court and two In going there ana
back. This life goes on sometimes for
two weeks, sometimes for as many
months.
Then one night, when he Is sleep
ing uneasily in the narrow bed, the
iron door is flung open and his ward
ers tell him to get up and dress.
Dazed and disheveled. he follows them
through winding passages and into a
room-the sort of rooln he might have
known long ago, before he went TO
the tenth pavilion.
His eyes, unused to the glare, can
only take in the details gradually, but
before long he secs the pretty furni-
turc, bright curtains, the birds, flow
crs and books which surround him.
His wardcrs have gone and he is left
alone. But not for long.
Like the Spanish Inquisition.

warder's brutal speeches, burst into
tears. He sits down bewidered. tea
is brought in, cigarettes are handed
round, and the conversation begins.
This conversation is nothing more
or less than a cross examination pre-
vious to the form of a trial which Is
generally gone through before a poIti-
cal offender Is sentenced. The object
Is to unnerve him to such point that
he makes 4 clean breast of it and
gives Information against his party
These midnight visits are repeated at
long intervals, and men and women
who are proof against any amount of
physical suffering dread them more
than anything in the tenth pavilion.
After several such examinations
alternated by dreary days in the cell,
he is taken to a small room hung
with mirrors and gloomy draperies
He has scarcely time to get over the
shock Of his altered appearance when
man, dressed in black, energies from
behind n curtain and plies him with
questions. If the suspect refuses to

leased for want OF evidence or put
through the mockery Of trial. A

REAL BUCKING BRONCHOS.
Simon Pure Ones Will Soon Be as Scarce
as Buffaloes

The outlaw horse. for years past the
hero of broncho-busting in the south and
west, is rapidly becoming thing OF the
past. and III ten years Will be more
scarce than the fast-dyng buffalo and
the old-time cowboy. according to John
NJ. Kuykendall. who makes Il speciality
of collecting the widest horses that can
be procured for bucking contests.
Ten years ago the outlaw was as
plentiful as jack rabbits" said Mr..
Kuykendall, but l have only been able
to get about thirty real buckers that
will put up good fight out of 10000
horses that l have looked Mt during the
last year. The outlaw horse comes from
the poorest blooded that roam the ranges
of the west. He is criminal among
horses, just as surely as men who go
wrong have bad blood in their veins. His
parents are in nearly every case mus.
tangs and the stock is the same as that
which roamed the plains of the west in
the early days and degenerated through
uSeleSSness.
Nearly any horse will buck" he de-
clared. IF you turn him loose in pas
ture for several months and then try to
ride him, but he will only kick up few
times and then quit. The outlaw will
buck, though. after he has been ridden
successfully, just as soon as another man
gets on his back. 1t takes years to
break him of the habit and he is never
safe. If he ever gets n chance he will
start out buckins again and he always is
dangerous.
You rarely hear of famous bucker
now. although ten or twelve years ago
every large range had several outlaws
that nobody could ride. The cowboys
can ride as well rs the old-time cowboys
and they are not degeneratinE. The
breed of horses throughout the country
is improving steadily and this is the
death knell of the outlaw. 1t will take

PRISON OF POLAND.
GLOOMY POLITICAL 6ASTiLE At
WARSAW.
Citadel Once Fortress, in Which
Thousands of Polish Patriots We're In
generated and Where Many Grim
Tragedies Were Enacted.

The political prison of Warsaw is
the most hated and certainly the most
dreaded spot in all Warsaw. Once a
fortress, 1t Is now political prison.
behind the walls of which many grim
and terrible tragedies are enacted
How many men and women have
been executed in the citadel since the
present movement against the Cars
government reached Poland, nobody
but the commandant and the governor
Of the prison will ever know.
The few who return from this
prison say little about what goes on
inside, for they dare not tell the
truth. But their drawn faces, shat
tered nerves and bruised bodies speak
for themselves. Little wonder that
the citadel has been called the bastile
of Poland; little wonder that the
Pole shudders at its red walls and
green ramparts. Not only is 1t the
slaughter house of his race, but its
guns, ever turned toward the city,
are ready to vomit fire at the first
sign of general rising against the
Russian stranger within its gates.
Built by Russian hands but with
Polish gold after the revolution of
1863, the citadel forms the apex of
the ngular-shaped Notifications
that stretch from the Prussian to the
Austrian frontiers. 1t is to Poland
what the fortress of IS. Peter and
Paul in Petersburg IS to Russia.
Should this country ever escape from
the Russian yoke it will meet the
same fate as the bastile during the
French revolution of 1889.
A visitor to the citadel is struck by
its pleasant appearance. There are
no gray walls or lowering towers
Warm, red brick payiliOns, n gold
domed church. well-swept walks, ana
grass plots thanked by cannon balls ar
rayed in pyramids are the first things
that meet the eye. Soldiers are being
