Morgan Says Railway Rates,
 Tariff ard Insurance
BOASTS HEARST MOVEMENT
Thinks It Strange That People Arc Demanding Generalization of Power So StoutIy-May Be
 Foreign Complications.
BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, November 5-(SpeciaI)- Senator Morgan of Alabama, who has arrived in Washington for the coming session of Congress, says three great questions are now uppermost in the minds of the people. They are government regu- lation of railway rates, the Federal con- trol of insurance, and the tariff.
 In the matter of the tariff, where, in his opinion. legislation is absolutely necessary, he looks for no help for the people from republican Congress. As for government control of railway rates and insurance he does not pretend to pre- dict the outcome, but believes the states possess sufficient power to deal with these questions, and if the federal laws now on the statute books were enforced prac- tically all complaint would cease.
 ..What is most needed" said the sen- ator .1s a President who will enforce the law. not one who will actually praise law breaker because he confesses his guilt"
 Does it not strike you as most re- markable," said the senator tonight, that here in the United States. republic. there is great clamor for more legislation of every conceivable kind all leading 10 one thing-the centralization of power in general government-while in Russia, for instance, the people are rising ia thcir might to overthrow the most striking ex- ample of centralized power among govern mentsy'
 After all" continued tho senator. "our internal affairs may not entirely absorb attention within the next three years. At no distant date we are sure to have great foreign questions to meet. l. may cnme through MT Roosevelt's interpretation ot the Monroe doctrine; perhaps the English Japanese alliance means far more te ns than our people can now conceis 2. Take this Chinese boycott. l,~nay aoa i'e the little thing 1t appears upon It's face Al any rate we all know what government or governments profit should our goods he driven from China. Goods from some other country or countries must take the place of those we send there. England and Japan are now in control or the en- tire eastern Asiatic shore; the Jap7ness- Russian treaty wipes Corea off the map.
 'At any minute we may find ourselves face to face with situation which will cause our greatest domestic problems to pale into insignificance.'

St. Petersburg. November 5.-There are many elements in the political medley or Russia that are without word of gratitude or appreciation for the granting of press freedom The immense importance of this weapon placed in the hands of the oppo- nents of reaction is understood by all, and 1t is felt that with the power of an unhampered press behind the emancipa- tion movement. 1t will be impossible for the government ever to turn back from the path marked out by the manifesto and that the abolition censorship will guaran- tee the execution of the pledges of the Emperor and Count Witte.

Astonlshed at Hearst Boom.

"The campaign in New York Is asfon- ishing" said the senator. Tt IL Is amaz- ing that in any community where men of intelligence are supposed to prevail there should be the possibility or such per formances The boom for Hearst is movement for mob rule. This same ln- fammation has manifested itself at vari- ous times in Europe and also In this coun- try. as in Chicago when Dunne was elected. It has appeared also in different degrees in various other places through out our country except in the south mere if has never made headway, and the south today goes along about her business un- concerned in the hubbub and excitement solIc sane, calm and amazed
 "No." concluded the senator the Hearst movement will not spread. There n,Ill he no new national party to threaten the country. even if Hearst gets an the votes. The honest, thinking men or the country would rise to meet such a menace and crush it. They would roll over It llke inc car of Juggernaut. How many new narties have seen spring up In thls coun, trv each with Its blare of trurnpets ana dare of promise? Not less than ntty- And where are they now? Every one mas nassed away.

Horror Increased.

The latest accounts of the devastation in the Jewish quarter add horror to the slt- uation. Besides numerous mills all the bakeries, shops and nearly 600 homes have been destroyed. The Jews killed m every circumstance were treated with re- voIting barbarity Heads were battered with hammers, nails were driven into bodies, eyes were gouged out and ears severed. Many bodies were disemboweied and in some cases petroleum was poured over the sick found hiding in cellars ana they were burned to death.
 It is alleged that the police and sol diers everywhere marched at the head or mobs, melting them to destroy the Jews by crying The Jews have killed our Emperort' and similar expressions.
 While the mobs were engaged in the slaughter, the soldiers busied themselves piliaging the cash and jewels, leaving the household goods to the mobs. The owners of many houses got rid of the bandits by the payment of a ransome to the police.

Journals Suppressed.

In spite of the promised freedom, how ever, dispatches from the interior report the suppression of journals in several cities. even after the issuance of the ukase, notably at Warsaw, where all the papers were ordered suspended by the government This has been brought to the attention of Count Witte and 1t Is expected that it will be speedily reme- died though the new premier propaoiy will have trouble for some time to cope with the independent local authorities who, under the old regime, were accus- toned to consider themselves little em- perors not responsible even to the gov ernment whose edicts, as in the cases or the manifesto regarding religious free- dom. they executed or not at their dis cretion.
 Families Reunited.
 From all over Russia comes news Of the release of political prisoners under the amnesty proclamation. There were many pitiful incidents connected with the reuniting of families here in St. Peters, burg A relief committee has been com missioned to furnish clothing. and aid the poor vretches. The doors of the bastlle Palernia and the detention prison on the Viborg side of the river were opened at o'clock this morning. Notwithstanding the hour and the darkness, several tnous- and persons congregated about the en- trance. The authorities gave to each per son released 20 cents to pay his cab fare' and turned him loose.
 The news of the coming release was known inside the prison walls on the pre- vious night. One woman as she was set free shouted Down with autocracy. An other who was all ready for her reliese but who at the last moment was informed that she did not come within the provis- ion of the amnesty proclamation, went into mysteries and tainted

CAN FORGET ROSE
Michigan Still Has a Few Good
Athletes Left
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
ANN ARBOR, Mich, April 15.-Sot-
withstanding the loss of Ralph Rose the
putter, as well as a first class hammer
thrower, the outlook for a championships
In track and field athletics at the Uni
versity of Michigan seems to be particu-
larly bright. AT the various athletic
meets held during the winter both indoor
and outdoor, several performers were un-
earthed who promised TO be sure point
winners at their specialties. The man OF
greatest promise, strange to say is also
shot putter, in the person of Dunlap, ii
senior engineer, who has been coming
steadily for three years, but on account
OF the great superiority of Rose ne has
hitherto attracted but scant attention. At
the indoor games here recently he hurled
the 16 pound ball a distance of 40 feet
inches, which looks good enough to win
the western intercollegiate championship.
In addition TO Dunlap there is also a good
second string of shot putters in GarrelS,
who have done A feet and Alderman,
with a record of AZ.
AT this same meet Walter FiShleiSh
broke DvOTSk's indoor pole vaultng record
OF 10 feet 10 inches by sailing over the bar
at II feet. Coe, a sophomore engineer,
shattered all Michigan records by run
ming n mile indoors i'm 4 minutes and -
seconds, and the indications are that he
can do an even 4:20 outdoors. Another
runner of great promise is Wait who ran
a half. finishing eased up. in 2:04.
keeler may develop into fine sprinter
II he can be made to last out a hundred
yards. He Is lightning starter, and dur
ing the winter equaled the 40 yard rec
ord of 3-5. Goodwin is another runner
who may win place on one of the relay
teams. He has run a quarter indoors in
80 seconds. All of these men will be seen
probably for the first time in the east at
of Pennsylvania the latter part Of this
month.
