NEW NATION GAINS TRIUMPH
OF DIPLOMACY.
AN INTERNATIONAL PLAN
Powers Agree to Make No Attempts
at Aggression on Norwegian Terri
tory-Necessary in View of Peace
full Arrangements With Sweden
Russia Was Most Feared.

st. ePtersburg, Nov. 27.-An inter
national compact guaranteeing the in
volatility of Norway against territor-
ial aggression by any power Whatever
and giving the new kingdom a status
somewhat similar to that of Sw1zer-
land and Belgium will soon be in
scribed OH the records of diplomacy.
On account of it's extended position,
the possession of valuable deep water
harbors on the Atlantic and agree
ment with Sweden against fertilization
in the neighborhood of the frontier
Norway is in a peculiarly exposed po-
sition and the first efforts OF Morse
diplomacy have been directed toward
elimin ating the danger OF being at
tackled and securing facilities for
peaceful development OF the country
without the crushing burden OF a
large army. With regard to the &C
ton of Norway in approaching the
powers for the purpose OF securing
these concessions, it can be stated
that Russia, the power most directly
concerned and from which Norway,
in spite of the denial made by the
Russian foreign Office that Russia
was endeavoring to secure a Norweg-
ian port or in any way contemplated
infringing on Norwegian territory, ap-
parentIy had most to fear, had no d.
lection of the conclusion of such a
convention. Germany already has
signifed her approval of the move
ment, of which Great Britain was
sponsor, and France will follow suit.
Russia admittedly contemplated Sc
curing a deep water harbor, one cas-
ily defensible, on the fiords southwark
of North Cape but is now willing to
disclaim these pretensions and make
the best use of present available port
of Yokaterina, on the Murmanian
coast, which, though a remoter field
for naval activity, is open the year
round.

TALKS TO 500 PEOPLE AT ONCE.
Method of News and Stock Quota
ton Distribution Made Possible.

New York, Nov 25.-Talhng to
500 people simultaneously over the
telephone is the latest wonder made
possible by Valdemar Poulson's in
vention, the telegraphone. A special
type of this machine is to be used for
distributing stock exchange quota
tons and news matter.
The telegraphone designed for this,
purpose has an endless steel band
running over two cylinders. The
operator in the exchange talks off
the quotations into a transmitter.
Electromagnets record his voice on
the band which then passes through
series of reproducing magnets at
tached to telephone wires running to-
subscribers Offices and ending in 81
large sounder placed on the desk.
In this way the operator can re-
peat quotations or other news to any
number of subscribers. They will at
once know of the fluctuations of any
particular stock as they occur on the
floor of the exchange and could, if
necessary, reach the exchange long
before the news would have been de-
livered by the usual ticker tape. IN
fact the business man will be able to
go on with his work and at the same
time hear what is happening at the
exchange just the same as though he
were present there.
For sending out news dispatches
will be able to talk to any number
of newspaper offices at any distance
covered by the telephone wire, and
messages can be sent to as many as
thousand papers at the same time.
In cases where it is desired to keep
a record of what is coming in, a
telegraphone will be attached to the
telephone or telegraph wire in the
receiving Office. The telegraphone
will record and store the messages
so that they can be run off any num-
Der of times.

RATES ON PULP
WOOD REDUCED
ADVANTAGE TO PAPER MILL
INTERESTS.
RATE COMMISSION AC1S
Orders Wisconsin Central to Lower
Charges About IL per Cent. and to
Otherwise Change Tariff Arrange
ments-CompIaint Came From Is
land Paper Company.

The rates in pulp wood on the Wis
consin Central from points in Ash
land and Clark counties to Neenah-
Menasha were reduced about II per
cent by a decision of the state rail
road rate commission announced Sat
urday. Complaint was made by the
Island Paper company against the
Wisconsin Central and the result is
the reduction of rates. The petitioner
was represented by Silas Billiard and
H. Gill. The syllabus of the case
prepared by Chairman Barnes for
the commission, is as follows:
Complaint against carrier charg-
ing unjust discrimination % in the
rates on pulp wood as compared
with the rates on fuel wood, bolts
and logs; (2) in published proper
tional rate on pulp wood; 60 in the
regular rate on pulp wood to Neenah
Menasha as compared with the rate
Oh pup WOOQ " COLupSL1IlNO PO1AIos
Held, that on the facts before the
commission on unjust discrimination
has been shown to exist in the rates
on pulp wood as compared with the
rates on fuel wood, bolts and logs, al
though there are some matters con
nected with this part of the com
plant which are quite additional in
yestigation;
THAT the proportional rate COM
planned of is uniustly discriminatory,
having caused financial loss to the
complainant and should be can
celled;
THAT the existing rates On pulp
wood into Neenah-Menasha are ex-
cessive and should be reduced; and
by this order they are reduced"
Reduction Ordered.
The conclusion of the decision
says, TT is therefore ordered that
the Wisconsin Central Railway com
pany cancel its proportional rates on
pulp wood as published in the Wis
consin Central tariff No. D1292, and
we recommend that In substitution

PATRICK WINS
FIGHT FOR LIFE

New York, Nov. 27-The World
says that Lawyer Albert T. Patrick,
who is under sentence of death for
the murder of William Marsh Rice,
has won his fight for life. His end
will lot be in the electric chair. Be
fore Governor Higgins gives up his
office as chief executive of the state
he will sign the Communication of the
death sentence. Life imprisonment
will be Patrick's fate.
Whether the Communication of the
death sentence will be brought about
with a further hearing on the part Of
witnesses for Patrick, or whether A
commission will be appointed by the
governor to look into the mass of
medical and other expect tes-
timony submitted to him recently,
has not been fully determined upon.
Governor Higgins, however, will not
permit the sentence of the law in Pat
ricks case to be carried out.
"Patrick's fight for life is the most
remarkable of it's kind ever made in
this country. No other person has
ever been confined as long in the
death house awaiting execution as has
Patrick For more than four years
and seven months he has been living
within the shadow of the electric
chair, During that time he has been
present when II other unfortunates
were taken from their cells AMI
marched along the narrow passage
which separates the condemned cell
block from the execution chamber"

Two Cent Fare Decision.
The railroad rate commission will
not hand down decision on the 2
cent passenger fare matter for sever
al weeks. 1t is believed that ano-1-
er hearing on certain phases of the
argument will be called before a de-
cision is rendered and a notice TO this
effect will probably be served On the
railroads within few days. 1t is
the belief among those who are well
posted on the matter that the COM
missioners are considering the legal
ity of a decision ordering the roads
to grant 2-cent passenger fare at
some future time, the date to be SET
tied upon after the mass of evidence
taken in the hearing and the results
of the Investigations Of the experts
employed by the commission have
been properly tabulated and the de-
auctions drawn from them.
1t had been expected that the de-
cision would be handed down before
the converting of the legislature on
January 9, but it is now believed that
this will not be the case. 1t is the
general opinion that unless 2-cent
fare is determined upon by the COM
mission bills will be introduced in the
legislature making that the legal fare.
II they pass, it will take the response
bility of the decision off from the
commission and place it upon the leg
islature.

Attorney General L. NJ. Sturdevant
believes that the state should appoint
an official whose sole duty it shall be
to collect the inheritance tax due to
the state. He says that thousands Of
dollars which rightfully belong to the
state under inheritance tax laws are
lost because of the unfamiliarity with
the law on the part of the ordinary
officials and judges.
Instances of losses have been found
frequently during the past year merely
by chance but there is no official of the
state who can give his time to looking
up these matters at present.
May Create New Office.
It is likely that a bill will be intro
duced at the next session of the legis-
lature to create such an Office. A bill
for the appointment of a public &C
countant to look up the fines imposed
by criminal courts for violations of
state laws, which fines properly should
be turned over to the state treasury,
was killed in the last session and a
measure creating an Office to have
charge of both of these matters may
be advocated at the next session.
81 believe that there should be a
state official" said the attorney gen.
eral, whose duty il is to pass upon
all probate papers before an estate is
allowed to be settled by the probate
Judges, to make sure that the state
gets all that is coming to it in inner
itance taxes. l also believe that no
transfers of property belonging to de-
ceased persons shall be valid until it
is shown on the face of the deeds that
the inheritance taxes are paid. I'm
der the present laws, heirs of de-
ceased persons often agree among
themselves in regard to a division of
the property and secure DEGREES OF
heirship from the county courts with

bate, and then dispose of the prop
erty without paying the state 1 cent
