Tlllman Presents More Evidence OF Mo.
nOpoIy in Coal in West Virginia.

WASHINGTON, March 2e.-Mr. Tillman to-
day presented in the Senate a further con-
tribution to the literature affecting the
charges of discrimination and monopoly in
the mining and shipping of coal in West
Virginia. 1t was a long letter from NJ. F
Snyder of Clarksburg, w. Va, and gave
specific instances Of discrimination against
the individual operators by the railroad
companies. The laws of West Virginia.
Mr.. Snyder said, were not adequate to fur
nish the necessary protection TO shipper,
The writer complinented Senator Till
mar on his work in bringing to public notice
the condition OF affairs in West Virginia and
suggested that the Senator from South Caro-
lima was doing more for the State of West
Virginia than both of her Senators.
Mr.. Tillman said he had submitted the
letter in esponse to the challenge of Senator
Scott last Friday and said he would continue
to furnish Senator Scott with similar enter
tainment daily for an indefinite time.

The educational value of Producing the
size Of new boys big head" and of de-
creasing the area of his greenness has
been widely recognized. At MARK HOP
KINs's college the students are said to
deplore the removal of the ancient dis
cipline and to ask for a revival of hazing.
If this be allegory, there is still some
SAVIOR Of moral truth in it. The democ-
racy Of hazing in the academies ia illus
trated by a we'll known anecdote told
by Mr.. LACEY: =
Let mt give an illustration. When General
SHRRrDAH's boy went 10 West Point he was a good
boy and came from good nghting stock. He was
naturally proud OF his ancestry. That boy came
there 40 the son Of tho General Of the Army. The
boys from all the districts In the United States
took that boy. put him on q clotheshorse. made
him read 'Sheridan's Ride by BUCHANAN READ.
and before he got through he was sorry that his
father had ever taken that historic ride down the
valley OF Virginia. ILsughter.l That was simply
q boyish prank. He laughed about IL after Il was
ell over. and 30 they all did. Yet II was hsEing.
and every ono Of these boys, under the strict letter
Of the aw. could have been court-martialled. and
under the act OF 1874, had II been in the navy. dis
missed and forever ineligible to go back into tho
service"
A good boy, but all SONS Of their
fathers" all youths guilty of having
rich or ,"a~ristocratic" connections,
pulls" must be disciplined. The sus-
picious and relentless democracy Of the
school finds its special subjects for. ok
animation in this class. The hazee of
to-day is the hazer OF to-morrow;ithe
mostly ; harmless tradition is kept Eupf
as a rule only the mollycoddle and the
sneak object to it.
The Hon. JACK BEALL Of Texas de-,
,scribes the endless chain of hazing at
Washington:
The President OF tho United States hazes the
Senate. the Senate hazes the Speaker. the Speaker
haEes the Committee on Rules. the Committee on
Rules hazos the majority, the majority hazes the
minority. the minority hazes the Committee on
Appropriations. and the Committee on Appropria-
tons hazes the poor unfortunate Department
clerks. tLaughterl"
Hazing is, in fact, universal. 1t was
and is a part of many religions. 1t
reaches from the lowest savages to the
.4hupper suckles" and to the sacred
mysteries of innumerable f%raternities
and societies. Mr.. HEPBURN should not
have forgotten that it is even an ordeal
through which the acolyte must pass in
that temple Of Mammon, the Stock
Exchange.
1t is good to see the House in a human
mood, remembering that even states
men have had their salad days, and not
disposed to rage against the Farraguts
with down upon their chins.

Columbia, Rensselaer, and Berkshire.
The counties Of Rensselaer, and Co.
lumbia in this State are bounded On the
east by the county of Berkshire in Massa-
ohusetts, the extreme western county OF
the Old Bay State. In 1904 the average
rate Of interest on mortgages in Co.
lumbia was 5.37 per cent, while In Berk-
shire the average rate was slightly more
than three mills lower.
In 1905 the New York Legislature
passed the Mortgage Tax law. The
result was to increase the rate for money
in Columbia county last year until it
was seven mills more than the rate In
the Massachusetts county. This in
crease in the cost of'money in New York
goes to prove that the Mortgage Tax
law is an excellent thing for the bor-
rover, perhaps, but the borrower may
be slow to recognize it.
In 1904 money was lent In Rensselaer,
county, New York, at only two mills
more than it cost in Berkshire county,
Massachusetts. Last year, under the
beneficent operation of the Mortgage
Tax law, money cost five mills moro in
Rensselaer, county than it did in Berk-
shire. These figures prove that the
lenders Of, money pay the tax, and that
it does not fall on the shoulders Of the
poor men who borrow it.
We shall not undertake to explain how
these increases In the cost Of money in
Rensselaer, and Columbia counties, as
compared with Berkshire county, prove
that in communities bathed in the glory
Of the Mortgage Tax law money is
cheaper than it is in settlements to
which the benefits OF hat statute are
denied. The borrowers of New York
State will have ample time to explore
this mystery while they are waiting for
lenders willing to pay the tax.

Special Dispatch 10 Inc StaF.
PORTSMOUTH. Va. June 2-The battle
shin Louisiana, the Goliath OF the Amerl-
can navy went into commission at the
navy yard here today. The flag was hoisted
aboard her this afternoon with few cere-
monies. Her crew had been assembled
aboard the Franklin for some time, and
most of her officers had previously report
ed for duty. Capt. A. r. Coudon, who has
been In charge OF the government super
vision of the construction and fitting out
of the vessel. was yesterday assigned to
duty as her commanding officer. and he
took command today. The work of fitting
out the Louisiana at this navy yard has
been rushed since she arrived from the
yards of her builders. the Newport News
ShipbuildIng and Dry Dock Company, two
weeks ago.
The Norfolk and Portsmouth Traction
Company. the new s14. 10000 trolley com
bine. came into actual existence today,
although it is unlikely that any change In
the management or operation of the prop
critics of the company will take place for
a month or six weeks yet. No statement
has yet been made as to who the perma-
nent officers of the company will be fur
then than that Mr.. r. Lancaster Williams
of Richmond and Baltimore will be It's
president, and f. c. Hathaway OF this
city and now general manager or the Nor
folk Railway and Light Company will be
general manager of the Traction, and prob
ably one OF It's vice presidents. The work
ing out OF the plan for the operation of
the concern will continue for month or
six weeks, observed Mr.. Hathaway today.
Medical Director Remus c. Persons, COM
manding the Naval Hospital here, who
was detached today and ordered to San
Francisco, has accomplished a phenomenal
work here. The only training school In
the world for nurses in the navy taught
to care not only for the sick but for the
terrible wounds likely to be sustained by
fighting men in modern naval warfare has
been established here during his admin
istration The hospital has been greatly
improved and renovated. and perfect ar
rangements made for the care of the tre-
mendous increase In the number of pa
TENTS under treatment due to the establish
ment of the training station at st. Helena
and the concentration of thousands of sail
ors and landsmen at this point. The doctor
will leave behind him a monument to
his zeal a magnificent SEQ, 900 addition to
the present hospital. The Business
Mems Association made a strenuous effort
to have DR.. Persons retained, but although
the rigid rules of the department were re-
Taxed to sorue extent and the doctors tour
here extended several months. his presence
is now too badly needed at San Francisco

RECORD OF EARTHQUAKES.
Those on the Pacific Coast Found in

Perhaps the most complete record or
earthquake disturbances on the Pacific
coast is to be found In the records OF the
Smithsonian Institution, a volume on the
subject having been published in the mis-
cellaneous collection Of the institution In
1897 The work is by Edward s. Holden
and reaches back to 1890. There Is a record
of disturbances in Alaska and Oregon from
1850 to 1896, showing 123 shocks and volcanic
eruptions. All of these are among the more
severe and were accompanied by so-caIled
tidal waves. opening OF craters and the
subrnergence of islands. Many Of the re-
ports are from old mission records and
diaries kept at the time. One Of the dts

for Alaska in the early days. There are
recorded more than ], $50 perceptibie Shocks
