pink ribbons, stood in the center with
hands on the pole, from the top of
which the ribbons were hung. AS the
ten selected pupils marched around,
they braided and unbranded the rib
bons, marching in alternate direc-
tions. This had been carefully re-
hearsed and was finely done. Those
who took part in it we're Laura Ram
say, Margaret Wight, Helen McCor-
mick, Amy Riddlestorffer. Dorothy
Hanson, Willard Andrews, Atwood
Belcher, Willard Boughton, Harold
Clark and Tom Ramsay.

Huntoon of New York city filed in
the office of the court of chancery
here late yesterday an appeal from
the decision of Vice Chancellor Pit
ney advising a decree of divorce for
James B.. Duke from his wife, Mrs.

judges him guilty of improper con
duct with Mrs. Duke. He also OBJ
jects to that part of the decision
which makes him liable for one-half
of the court fees in the petit
ton of Mrs. Duke accusing her hus-
band of improper conduct with a
housekeeper at Somerville. He also
objects to the adjudgment that he
must pay $4,000 for counsel fees.

respondent in Dukes suit. Then at
his request he was admitted as a par
ty defendant. On that ground one-
half of the costs have been assessed

ZuIus Massing For Attack on Natal
Colony.

DURHAM, Natal, May l2.-Thou-
sands of Zulus from Chief Kula's kraal
are reported to be on their way to join
the rebel chief Bambaata. and colonial
troops are being hurried forward to
prevent their junction.
Chief Kula. who is suspected of dis
affection and was recently arrested,
vas placed in jail at Pietermaritzburg.
1t Is presumed that it was his arrest
which led to the rising of his followers.
Natives captured by the colonial
forces report that witch doctors are
sacrificing children to render the rebels
immune from British bullets. Before a
battle they kill a girl and concoct
medicine from her body, with which
they anoint the warriors under the pre-
tense that 1t renders them invulnerable

Senator Allison was prompt In pre-
sentlng the first of his compromise
amendments. This amendment strikes
out the words fairly remunerativev
from the fourth section of the bill as
descriptive of the rates which the in

prescribe. The amendment was adopt
ed without debate or division.

The DEMAND.
President Of Russian Parliament
Talks With Car Would I
Curb Council Of Empire.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 12.-The
new council Of the empire, or upper
house Of parliament, was opened by
Count solsky, its president, with elab-
crate ceremonies and much a~utocratic
pomp.
Count White appeared as a working
member of the council Of the empire at
its opening session.
Professor Muromtseff went to Peter
hof and notified the emperor Of his cleo
ton to the presidency of the lower
house of parliament. He spoke plainly
to the car about the views Of the coun-
try and demanded amnesty for those
engaged in the late troubles through
out Russia. ~
Besides demanding amnesty, Profess
or Muromtseff presented in behalf
Of the Constitutional Democrats a ma
jority suggestion that the council of
the empire be made a purely consulta-
tive body, with no right to stand be-
tween the representatives of the people
and the sovereign.
Professor Muromtseff returned to
st. Petersburg from the audience APP
parently much impressed by the en-
peror's earnest interest In the prob.
lens of the country. Though the radi-
cal hotheads had been praying that
Professor Muromtseff would lay down
the law to the emperor and make a
scene, the half hours conversation was
skillfully guided both by the sover-
eign and the parliamentary chief SO
that friction was avoided. To the Con-
stitutional Democratic members of the
house who awaited his return from
Peterhof at the CONSTITUTIONAL club
Professor Muromtseff spoke only brief
ly, laying especial emphasis on the en-
peror's courtesy and consideration.

do. l do not believe the friends Of this
legislation are directing this bill"
Senator Teller predicted the people
would not patiently submit to the in
competency of the senate and that a
day would come when the senate would
be compelled to pass adequate rate
legislation.
Senator La Toilette made objection
to the second amendment, limiting to
two years the continuance of the COM
missions orders. He moved to strike
out the limitation and spoke In sup
port of his motion, saying he could see
no reason for the provision.
Senator Knox said that the interstate
commerce commission had recommend.
ed q limitation to one year because OF
the rapidly changing situation in this
country. But the Wisconsin senator
was not convinced, and he proceeded
by declaring his conviction to be that
if the provision is to stand the public
would receive little benefit.
Mr.. La Follette's motion was voted
down, and the Allison amendment was
then adopted.
Senator Bailey then presented his
amendment prohibiting Inferior United
States courts from issuing temporary
injunctions against the order of the in
terstate commission.
Speaking III support of his amend
ment, Mr.. Bailey quoted the message
of the president of 1904 and his Ra-
leigh IN. O. speech as in support Of the
idea contained in his (Mr. Bailey's)
amendment. He said he recognized
that the only way that the power Of the
commission could be made effective
was to keep it in effect until finally re-
versed by a competent court.
with these two recommendations
before me-" he continued, Il had every
reason to believe that the president
would support this proposition, which
would make them effective, and yet
recent events show that such hope was
without foundation
He then said the so called Allison
amendment was the work of the presi-
dent and declared that he had failed to
Justify the hope he had aroused. He
then revived his argument in support
of the right of congress to restrict the
power Of the ordinary federal courts
and said:
1.-The rates fixed by the commission
are the law of the land. and the In
ferior courts should not be permitted
to negative them"

SOLD CAMY BEEF.
Sent Over RatiOn's For German
Troops in China.


NEW YORK, May Fin the SUI
preme court Arthur II. Dowler, a con-
tractor for the German army. won a
victory over Swift & Co., the Chicago
packers. The court held that Judge
Giegerlch erred in directing a verdict
for Swift & Co. in the trial Of the
original suit, wherein. D0wler sought
to recover $7.162.S9 paid to the packers
in the shape of an advance.
The chief point of interest is the fact
that a consignment of 300 tlerces of
corned beef originally intended for the
German soldiers in China during the
Boxer uprising became putrid in Shang-
hal, was ordered out of the storehouse
by the authorities, was r~epickled and
chemically treated, reshipped to this
country by the packers and sold in New
York.
1t was shown upon the trial that six
tierces of the beef were destroyed by
Swift's agents and 294 tierces repickled
and then shipped through the Suez a
nal In midsummer, waiting its odors
to the pyramids, arriving in New York
in a highly gamy condition. Here it
was sold, realizing, according to the
testimony. $1,000 net. What concern
purchased it is not in evidence.
