The hearings of the interstate com merce commission are now concluded for the summer. and while there is not much ground to be covered, the first section of their report will prob ably not be ready till fall. The last witness they had on the stand was an interesting old gentleman named Gardner, one of the e-presidents of four coal companies owned by the Erie railroad. He said that the Erie owned the four companies, as they drew from them about half of the 3,000,000 tons of coal that they con- sumed each year. And then he went on to tell the commission few things from the railroad point of view about owning coal mines. He said he had been an expert in the coal business since the days of the old Hayden survey and that he had worked in the same capacity for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the Rio Grande Western and some other roads that he was now working for the Erie. He was consulting coal expert. He said that the road de- pended primarily on it's fuel supply being regular, certain and cheap. This, he said, could be accomplished only by the railroads owning their own mines or the bulk of them, and that so far as he was concerned he had advised the Erie to buy more coal lands as soon as they could get them at a reasonable price. And he did not see what was to prevent their doing it so long as they used the coal for their own consumption. This was rather warm parting shot from the commission, and they will now have the summer to think over this phase of the situation and adjust their report accordingly.

Speaking of the work of the con- gress just closing, one writer in dis cussing the trusts. says that there was loud demand before and dur ing the campaign of 1904 that the, anti trust law should be strength ened materially. It was contended by many that the law as 1t stood was strong enough to meet all demands, if it was rigidly enforced, but others took a different view of the matter. The first session is about to end and the trust problem has not been touched. Instead of it, there was suddenly sprung. with many dra- matic features, an attack on the packing industries. There is an old saying that there are two sides to every question, but that rule has not held in matters before congress, as viewed by the administration, SO the whole country has been stirred up and the excitement has spread to Flu rope. The senate lost its character of deiiberation and plunged into the vortex only to discover that it had been as nasty in this matter as the house has been on the rate question. The house turned and became the deliberative part of congress and after some days finally whipped the senate legislation into something like reasonable shape. Just as this was done it began to leak out that the great commotion has but little real foundation after all.

Much of the public and political dis content is based upon the very evils which he has most zealously attacked and the partial remedies which he has unquestionably secured will de- priye the radicals of much of their political thunder and encourage more rational treatment of these problems than if left to settle them selves amidst the clamor, prejudice and excitement of presidential cam paign.

ABOUT THREE SCORE DEAD.
Property Damage at siedlee viii Be
Immense,

Immense.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 14.-The re-
sumption of Geographic communica-
ton with Siedlce has enabled the press
of st. Petersburg for the first time to
present picture of the conditions in
the ravaged town. AS in the case of
the massacre at Bialystok later mes
sages greatly reduce the number of
dead from that given in early reports.
The property losses, however, from
the fury and cupidity OF the mob and
the destruction wrought by lombard
ment and subsequent fire are placed
higher, running to several hundred
thousand dollars. Although it is said
officially that forty-four persons were
killed correspondents enumerate sixty
two corpses, mostly of Jews, which
have been gathered on the streets, in
houses and in various hospitals for
burial.
The number of corpses buried pri-
vately or consumed in burning build
ings may add another score to this
number. A pitiful feature of the ex-
cesses was the death from thirst Of
many wounded persons who were
abandoned by their friends in houses
from which the people were forced to
dee for their lives. Firemen are
searching deserted houses for bodies.
