We don't know who is re-

cient police force. the mayor,
the council, or the chief; but we
do not if and officer from the
marshall's Office d q S ired he
could have gone single handed
and arrested every person in the
north end without firing a gun.
There would have been no re-
cessity Of taking a hundred
white hoodlums and loafers to
capture eight colored men and
carry them to Jail. In our opin-
ION this was a chance for a few
d--n prejudiced scoundrels who
have been hunting for a race
war to get in their venom and

of the police force.

1t is strange indeed that the
brave policeman can not protect
business houses down town from
being burglarized right under
the glaring electric light and yet
can go a mile from the business
center and shoot into q residence
where a coal thief is supposed to
be. AS q matter'Of fact there is
a white sporting house in that
end Of town and it may be the
daring brave officials are always
near TO give the necessary pro-
lection to the brothel.
Durfey's hardware store was
broken into and a number of
articles taken and not police

true Of another business house
on 2nd street and no policeman
knew Of it.

Troops IN Finland Mutinv.

Helsingiors, Nov. i4.--A revolt broke
out yesterday in the garrison Of svea-
borg. Hundreds of the men assert that
they have been retained with the colors
from two to three years beyond the
legal period Of their service, and also
complain Of their conditions OF life.
The mutineers refused to obey orders,
expelled the civilians from the pre-
cincts of the fortress and in several Of
the barracks threw beds, chairs and
kitchen apparatus out Of the windows.

Not an Index OF Power.

Young Mr.. Whimper, who had a
worthy ambition for public office, had
closed his canvass of his native State
He felt sure Of his nomination, and
was waiting, in good spirits, at his
fathers fireside to receive it.
He had been asked to tell his ex-
periences as ''spellbinder," and had
willingly consented.
But, on the whole" was his modest
conclusion, II was rather successful
And what gratified me particularly
was that in the places where / was
least known met with the warmest
reception"
1t was several seconds before Mr..
Whimper understood why his father
and the girls laughed, and ever bis
mother smiled.

prophe.ied Teddy.s greatness.

More entertaining, perhaps, and
equally interesting, are the anecdotes
which are told about our President by
the Minkwitz family. Frau Fischer
distinctly recollects that once she
prophesied the future greatness of
young Teddy. She says: "One day I
had conversation with Mrs. Roose-
velt, who said to me, I wonder what
is going to become of my TeddyY
replied, You need not be anxious
about him. He will surely be one day
a great professor, or, who knows, he
may become even President of che
United States Mrs. Roosevelt re-
buked me. She said such thing was
impossible, and asked how l coudd
have struck upon such an absurdity.
But perhaps on account Of my impul-
sive remark, l have since continually
watched Theodore Roosevelts career,
and have always been glad when he
has made step forward in the
world. From "Roosevelt's German
Days." In Success Magazine.

sHIPYARDs ARE BusY.

Army of 10, 1000 Men Rushing Work on
New Vessels for Navy.
While the attention of the public
is attracted only at intervals to the
three big shipyards on the Delaware
River, there is an army Of 10000 men
daily hammering, forging and weld
ing. bending every energy toward the
completion Of the great vessels under
construction here, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger Never have the employees
Of Cramps, Neafle & Levy's and the
New York Shipbuilding Company been
buster than at present. Particularly
is this true Of Cramps, where twelve
different vessels are under construc-
ton. This yard alone is employing
$500 workmen.
The greater part of this work Is
being done for Uncle Sam, seven
ships being under way here. Two Of
these, the armored cruiser Tennessee
at Cramps, and her sister ship, the
Washington, which Is being built at
the South Camden yards of the New
York Shipbuilding Company, have at
tracted attention by the efforts which
the respective companies are making
to finish the contract first Both are
now nearing completion, with the
Tennessee slightly in the lead.
Besides the work on the warships
six large passenger steamships are
also being built by the Cramps com
pany. -Four Of these are for the New
York and Cuban Mail line, while the
two remaining 60 to the Southern

Concessions to Peasants.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-THE gov

to the peasants. With the workmen
of the cities completely estranged and
Liberals refusing to aid the authorities,
there is nothing left but to turn to the
peasants. and the emperor has approved
a ukase informing them that measures
for the ameliorstion Of their condition
will receive immediate consideration
The discomfort Of the peasants and the
danger of the spread Of the agrarian
movement largely contributed to the
decision.

AGAINST THE RAILROADS.
Washington State Commission Up
holds All Complaints.

ssSs~%& fAas - <~ststftAttihSe
Colfax, WASH, Nov. IA. "Found
guilty as charged on each count of the
indictment" This is the verdict OF
the State Railroad commission rendered
yesterday evening in the State Railroad
commission VS.. the o. R. & N. Co.,
the Great Northern Railroad company
and the Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany.
Shipments from Puget sound for
points on the o. r. & N. in Eastern
Washington must not be routed via
Portland unless requested by the ship
per. Coal rates from Roslyn to points
on the O. R. & N. in Eastern Washing
con must be lowered to that existing
before the cancellation OF the Joint
rates January L, 1902, and joint rates
must be re-established between all the
railroads Of Washington. In fact, the
railroads have lost every point, and the
commission has arbitrarily announced
its intent to fix the rates to favor Puget
sound at the expense Of Portland.
The o. r. & N. Co., by It's attorney,
James Wilson, announced Just before
adjournment Of the commission, after
all the testimony had been taken, that
it would grant rate Of So 55 on Ros-
lyn coal from Wallula to CoIfax. maxi
ing the total rate on both roads of
$4.45, thus placing Roslyn coal on an
equal basis with Wyoming coal.
Commissioner Mcmillan asked if the
o. r. & N. and Northern Pacific would
make the same rate on Roslyn coal to
Colfax that the Northern Pacific makes
~ { .eld AMI Pullman. MIR. Wilson
stated he has no authority TO make such
c rate.
