RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention Of the
Order of Railway Conductors recent
ly held at Portland, Oregon, resolu-
lions were unanimously adopted yoic-
ing their sentiments as to the effect
OF proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees,
whom they in part represented. These
resolutions Endorse the attitude of
President Roosevelt in condemning
secret rebates and other illegalities,
and commend the attitude OF the
heads of American Railways, who,
with practical unanimity, have joined
with the president on this question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the "inadvisability of legis-
lation vesting in the hands of a COM
mission power over railway rates,
now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country"
because such regulation would result
in litigation and confusion and in
ton in rates, irrespective Of the ques-
ton of the ability of the railroads to
stand the reduction, especially in view
of the increased cost of their supplies
and materials" They further protest
ed against such power being given to
the present Interstate Commission
because "the proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea of
American Jurisprudence, inasmuch as
it. contemplates that a single body
shall have the right to investigate,
indict, try, condemn and then enforce
its decisions at the cost of the car
riers, pending appeal, which is mani
testify inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation if any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation sis the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and
development of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against leg
islation adverse to their interests,
they point out the fact that 'the
freight rates of this country average
only two per cent of the cost of arti-
Giles to the consumer, thus making the
freight rate SO Insignificant factor
in the selling price that numerous
standard articles are sold at the same
price in all parts of the country"

TO SIGN THE ARMISTICE:
PEACE WAY is PAVED

Washington, June 19-Alone on the
plains of Manchuria, midway between
the two great armies, the Russian
and Japanese commanders will meet
to sign the armistice which will pave
the way for the Washington confer
ence if the present tentative program
is followed. Exchanges on this point
are now in progress between Toxic
and st. Petersburg via Washington,
but no final conclusion has been
reached. 1t was first thought a pre-
liminary protocol might be signed at
Washington providing for a temper
airy cessation of hostilities, but in
rectly the armies in the field it 10 be-
lieved that the belligerents will agree
that the arrangements of the arms
tics would be best entrusted to Line
witch and Oyama, the respective COM
manders in chief, who in such event
would be telegraphed special powers
to sign. The time limit for the armis-
tice has not been fixed, but it will be
comparatively brief, that the pro-
gress of the conference may be as
sisted as much as possible.
Prior to the signing of the armis-
tice, however, will come the official
announcement of the Russian and
Japanese plenipotentiaries. Russia
has indicated that her mission will be
headed by NJ. Nelidoff, the Russian
ambassador to Paris, and it is under

RUSSIAN ADMIRALS QUIT:
THE HEAD FOR YEARS

st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE SEN
sational announcement was made
shortly before midnight that Grand
Duke Alexis, the high admiral, who
is an uncle of the emperor, and Ad-
miral Avellan, head Of the Russian ad-
miralty department, has resigned.
This announcement was followed a
few minutes later by an imperial re-
script relieving the grand duke of
the supreme direction of the navy,
which he had held since the days of
the emperor's father, Alexander Ill,
when Russia resolved to enter the
lists as f1rst-class sea power and to
build up great navy, the remnants
of which were destroyed in the bat
tie of the sea of Japan.
Although from time to time since
the war began there have been -ru-
mors that the grand duke would re-
tire on account Of the savage criti-
cism, not to use harsher terms, direct
ed against the administration of the
navy, especially in the construction
of ships, the announcement of his re-
signation came like a bolt out of the
blue sky.
Among those adjourning late in the
cafes and hotels the editorial in the

handing an accounting of the popu-

lar fund subscribed for the rebuild
ing of the navy and declaring that
great names are no longer guaran-
tees,' was instantly recalled. The
words of the rescript give no hint of
imperial anger, and the real explana-
ton probably will not leak out for
several days, but the instant DISPOSE
ton was to regard the retirement of
Grand Duke Alexis and Admiral Avel-
Ian as concession to public opinion,
following the browning tragedy of the
Sea of Japan. Charges of misman-
agement and inefficiency and tales of
corruption and even worse against
the marine department, have been
rife for years. After the war began
they increased ten fold, and lately
a regular campaign against the de-
partment has been openly conducted
in the newspapers. Some startling
revelations have been made in this
campaign, and Captain Clado, who
was one of the leading critics of the
conduct of the navy, was dismiss
ed from the service for his persist
ence.
1t was felt, even in quarters. where
charges of corruption were not en-
tertained that 1t would be unwise to
entrust the building of the navy to
the hands which were responsible for
the helpless fleets of the past.

been the subject of informal CONVEX

Russia will ask that the French Ian
guage be used; Japan will express a
preference for English, and in recog-
milton of the courtesies to be extend
ed the plenipotentiaries by the Wash
ington government, diplomats believe
that the English language, if not ac-
cepted as the official language of the
conference, will be used jointly with
the French, the proceedings of the
conference being recorded in these
tongues.

Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's

Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. 1 stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone, but to
give the medicine justice, I gave him
eleven more pills. l used thirty-five
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.
1 consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-five Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was an

phorically in nervous style of writ

no trace of the men having been dis

were following the river beach. Three
pushed ahead and established a camp
at Lorne creek, leaving one man in
charge. Two returned and picked up
the remaining five and their outfit at
Skena canon, 80 miles below Lorne
creek. The seven men attempted to
cross the river and, it is presumed.
the canoe was swamped and they were
drowned. Searching parties have
found no clue to give hope that they
reached shore.
