WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. e.
Townsend introduced in the house
today, in amended form, the Esch-
Townsend bill, which passed the
house at the last session. 1t still
has the support of the administra-
ton. The bill today follows the
lines of the last, making clearer its
intent to include the private refrig-
orator car lines. 1t increases the
interstate commerce commission to
seven and makes their salaries $10,-
900 each. 1t gives the commission
power to declare and order a maxi
mum rate. An appeal to the SUI
preme court Is provided for speci-
fically. 1t provides for the inspec-
ton of the books and accounts Of
railroads.
In addition to last years bill 1t
has publicity feature and gives
the commission jurisdiction over
terminal charges. 1t directly pro-
hibits carriers granting any ship
per the privilege Of collecting a
product, then getting special rate
under short term provision for
changing rates. Townsend says
the bill will fully accomplish the
things to which the president par
ticularly calls attention in his mes
sage as being necessary to bring
about the reforms.

done by taking gas from the first

JAPANESE SEIZE SAkHALIN.
Gains Prestige in Peace Negotiations
by Occupation of Island.

by Occupation of Island.
One of the earliest rumors following
the outbreak of the Manchurian war was
to the effect that the Japanese had made
landing on the Island of Sakhalin.
That they could have taken the island
then or at any time later that suited
them is certain, for without first securing
supremacy at sea Russia was at all
| times powerless to protect it. The fact
that the Japanese have waited till the
present time before even making so much
as demonstration gives a most interest
ing illustration of the deliberateness and
strict concern for purely military require
ments with which they have prosecuted
the struggle.
The dispatches now tell us that land
ing has at last been made. The landing
of japanese troops on the island startled
military circles in st. Petersburg, though
it had been realized since the defeat CT
Admiral Rojestvensky that the japanese
were able to take possession of the ISL
and as soon as they thought fit The
japanese fleet covering the landing of
troops consisted of two battleships, seven
cruisers, three gunboats, thirty-six tor
pedo boats and ten transports loaded
with troops The japanese landed at
the village of Meree, between Shepivan
and Korsakovsk. The commander of the
Russian detachment of troops at Korsa-
kovsk ordered the coast defense guns to
be blown up and all the government
buildings burned before retiring.
Until 1915 Sakhalin was japanese
Then Russia made a claim to it, and
after some negotiations Japan yielded it
up, receiving as partial compensation GER
