Chicago, March 13.-J. Q. Stubbs
traffic director of the Hartman lines
including the Union Pacific, Oregon
Short Line, Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton company and the Southern Pacific

TAI ASHINGTON, March 13.-The at

dispatch from Salt Lake City in refer
ence to alleged public land frauds in
Utah whereby large tracts of coal lands
have been acquired by corporations by
unlawful methods. The general land

some time past, but not for the purpose

said today that he probably will not
retire until some sembIance of order
has been restored. The question of
Lis successor is still undetermined.
Food Supply Short.
There are indications that the food

burned at MukLen and Russian cor

handful of two officers and $50 men of
the imperial rifles marching off. led
by their gallant colonel clinging to
their standard. can be derived some
idea of the losses sustained by the
regiments that bore the brunt of the
lighting. The exploit of the 500 al
Balakalava pales besides this. Even
the losses in the Bloody Angle" of
the wilderness and in the battle of
Antietam are scarcely comparable.
Another tragic picture of the retreat
is related in connection with the re-
tlrement of General Rennenkampff's
detachment from Oubenepusa with
barely One-third of its original
strength-the brave soldiers breaking
down and sObbiug and kissing the
oloOd-stained ground which they had
been ordered to relinquish.
, The loss of officers is said TO have
been especially heavy. and many OF
the higher and mare capable officers
were killed.

CONGRATULATES ROOSEVELT.
william J. Bryan COngratulates the
President on Peace Negotiations.

A letter addressed to President Roose.
welt from William ]. Bryan, in which
a plan for permanent peace is suggested.
WAS ina public last week. Mr.. Bryan
congratulates the president on his sue
cess in bringing Russia and Japan to-
gether, and says:
"Why not ask congress for authority
to submit all International questions
(when an agreement cannot be reached
by parties interested) to an impartial
board for investigation and report? In
vesigation will in nearly every case re-
move the cause of complaint and recon.
cile the parties. Questions which ma.
tion might be unwilling to submit to
arbitration in advance could be settled
by investigation by an impartial inter.
national board.
1T was glorious thing to end the
war between Russia and Japan, but ii
would have been more glorious to have
prevented the war and saved the fright
full loss of life. The moral prestige
which our nation now enjoys would in
all probability enable it to attempt a
successful movement. The congratula-
tions which you have received from the
hea Is of European governments
strengthen the chances Of success. II
the leading nations of the world would
enter into an agreement to join in the
creation of such board and pledge
themselves to submit all disputes to the
board for investigation before declaring
war, the danger Of war would be reduced
to minimum. Few men have had it in
their power to do so much for humanity
will you improve the opportunity?

the river and the Northern Pacific depot

the river, which was a severe tax on the
farmers. They could not even get their
mail without paving five cents to the
