antitrust act by monopolizing the ex-
press business Of the country and fix
ing the rates. He alleges that by
reason Of the unlawful combination the
express companies have maintained
charges for all the different kinds of
business far In excess of reasonable
rates and they have been collecting and
are now annually collecting from the
people of the United States and from
the banks and trust companies and
other financial institutions, and from
publishers of books and others having
frequent occasion to require the ser
vice Of express companies, hundreds
of thousands Of dollars over and above
just compensation for the service which
they render"
He then mentions the Post check cur
rency bills, which are and have for sew
eral years been before congress, and
says that by the plans proposed in them
much of the business of sending small
sums of money through the mails,
(which is now transacted by the ex-
press companies. would be taken from
them, to their injury. but to the ben
eft Of the people of the United States
and Of the government of the United
States, which itself now pays many
thousands Of dollars every year to the
express companies for services, which
it is one of the objects of such bills to
render unnecessary"
Mr.. Post charges that in his capacity
as president of the United Express
company Senator Plat is participating
in the conspiracy charged and, proceed
ing. says:
"He is daily engaged in performing
overt acts in pursuance thereof and
that in the senate he has used and is
continuing to use his influence as a
senator to oppose the passage of the
bills referred to or any of them on the
ground that If passed they would af-
feet injuriously the business of said
express companies and reduce the
amount which said companies by rea-
son Of said combination and conspiracy
are yearly obtaining from the people Of
the United States and from the govern
ment thereof over and above just COM
pensation for the services which they
render"
He therefore asks the senate to insti-
tute an examination into the case and
| that II the charges are proved the SEN
ator be expelled. Explaining his reason
for proceeding against the senator he
| says:
"The petitioner and the public are
without an adequate remedy elsewhere
against the said Thomas G. Plat be.
cause of the provisions Of section OF
article of the constitution of the Unit.
ed States. which makes the senate the
sole judge of the qualifications of It's
members and gives TO the senate only
| the power to deprive senator of his
seat"
In support of his statement Mr.. Post
filed an affidavit by Clarence Il. Daw
son to the effect that Senator Plat had
told him that he was against the Post
| check bills because the plan If adopted
would interfere with his business and
that he would use his position as a sen
ator to defeat them.

to pay such exorbitant prices for your sldeboard necessities, or are you aware that you are paying $1.25 for the same goods that we are selling for 15c? Just look over our list and compare our prices with what you have been paying. Perhaps you are under the impression that ours is not the genuine article. You are taking no chances whatever in that respect as ms money is always awaiting a dis satisfied customer.

CARRIERS RESIGNATION.
Hawaiian Executive Coming to Tell
President His Reasons.

George Carter, governor of the territory
Of Hawaii, arrived from Honolulu at San
Francisco yesterday, as briefly reported In
The Star. He is on his way to Washington
for the purpose of consulting President
Roosevelt and laying before him certain
matters connected with the government Of
Hawaii. Carriers resignation followed close
ly the announcement of the result Of the
territorial elections.
1.-THE full reason for sending in my resig-
nation is long story, and do not feel at
liberty to tell it at this time" said Gov.
Carter. II will say this much, however: AS
territorial governor I represent in Hawaii
the President of the United States The
President is a man of decided views have
views of my own in regard to Hawaiian
matters, and feel that in some things my
views differed from those of President
Roosevelt. 1 am going to Washington to
have long talk with the President, and my
real reason for placing my. resignation in
his hands was to avoid any embarrassment
In the event of his deciding to place some
body else at the helm in Hawaii"

Fast Electric Traction.
From the London Post.

FROM the London Post.
AT present the very high speed electric
railway Is little heard of In England, and
even In Germany. where the Berlin-Zossen
experiments showed that given a straight,
well-lafd and we'll balanced track q speed
OF 10 miles an hour was possible and safe,
IT has rather dropped out of imminent prob
ability. The question seems at present
principally one of expense. Very heavy
cars are required for any speed over eighty
miles an hour; no curve can be taken with
out slackening of speed if 1t has a radius
OF less than mile; and car containing
say, sixty people, would with Its necessary
transformers and motors require 1000
an hour. The curves are the principal diff
hculty; so that in order to run trains at
these speeds it will be necessary to con-
struct new railway lines
At present public interest In Germany is
concentrated on the possibility of high
speed electric traction between Berlin and
Hamburg, which, IL q new straight line
were built, would be 155 miles distant by
rail- During the discussion of the high
speed experimental line Messrs. Siemens
and Halske proposed single-track electric
line at cost of SIT, 800, 000 on which trains
would run the whole distance either way,
with stop half way, In five minutes under
TWO hours. The General Electric Company
propose double line, on which trains
would travel 100 miles an hour and do the
journey in hour % minutes. for $50 $50 coo
For S37 SEQ, Geo they believe they could raise
the speed to 10 miles an hour
