Lower House Indignantly AeeJcts The Governments Policy.
 St. Petersburg. May 26,-At the end of a memorable seven hour session the lower house of parliament this eve ming indignantly rejected the govern ment's policy as presented by Premier Goremykin and with only seven dis senting voices voted 8 lack of confi- dence in the ministry, practically throwing down the gauntlet to the bu- reaucracy with demand for the re- tirement of the present cabinet and its suppression ty a ministry approved by the majority in the house,
 The spirit of absolute revolution is in the air and q conflict between the crown and the nation now appears to be inevitable. While the house avoid ed the appearance of delivering an ul- timatum the government seems to have no alternative except surrender or war. The gloomiest forebodings are every where expressed tonight and the gen eral impression is that the country is on the verge of q gigantic struggle which may be delayed but not averted.
 Dispatches received from the interior indicate that the struggle possibly may be inaugurated Monday with a general string when the people learned that all amnesty has been refused them.
 While the premier's statement prom ised cooperation with the lower house insofar as the latter does not trans gress the limits of the fundamental laws" it recognizes the agrarian ques- ton as paramount, proposing to remedy the deficiency in land through the operation of an agrarian bank and mi grafton to siberia. 1t proposed the fn- reduction of universal compulsory ed ucaticn the reform of the administra- ton and the realization of the four liberties

RAILROAD NEWS.
Reported That Hartman Will
Have Chicago H. e. Line.
Believed to Be Behind Chicago,
Joliet and Kansas City.
CAPITAL IL MILLIONS.
Efforts Being Made to Round
Out System to Atlantic.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Kansas City. Oct. 27.=The Star saws.
The Chicago. Joliet & Kansas City
railpoad, recently capitalized in Chi
cago at II million dollars. was said
to be project to give the Hartman
system two important outlets through
Kansas City. One is to the Atlantic
by way of the Baltimore & Ohio South
western and the other is from Chica go
to the southwest
The link which is to connect the
Union Pacific with Chicago and with
the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern.
in which Hartman recently secured a
large interest, is the projected line
from Chicago to Kansas CITY by way
of Beardstown.- III. This place is the
western terminal of the Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern.
The Chicago. Joliet & Kansas City
railroad has surveyed part of short
line from Chicago to Kansas City by
way of Joliet, Peoria and BeardstOWn.
crossing the Mississippi river at
Quincy. The survey is said to give the
new line the short line from Chicago
to Kansas City. A feasible route has
been laid out with easy grades and a
total main line distance of less than
$50 miles, as compared with 45S miles
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad, the present short line be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City.
While it was impossible today to con-
firm officially the report of the Harri-
man project there is much circumstan-
tial evidence in its favor.
Some Of the Evidence.
The Union Pacific has long desired
connections to the seaboard and gulf.
With its two terminals on the Missouri
river it has produced a very great
freight tonnage from the Pacific coast
All this immense tonnage has been
going to eastern lines for the haul to
the Atlantic coast and to other lines
for the haul to the gulf.
In return the Union Pacific has been
at a disadvantage in handling the inn
mense tonnage originating east of the
Missouri river and from the gulf re-
gions 1t has not received it's fair
share of the haul. The business has
been handled by through lines or by
western lines having close traffic ar
rangements with eastern lines
The gulf outlet for the Hartman
system would be given by the Missouri
River & Gulf railroad which is now
City south to Pittsburg, Kan. This road
is a Hartman line. PittsbuTg is the
northern terminal of the Missouri, Ok
lahoma & Gulf railroad which has been
surveyed south to Denison, Tex, where
it reaches Hartman lines that extend
to the gulf. William Keneficz of Kan
sas City, the protector Of the road de-
MED recently that it had been sold to
Hartman.
The Maryville cutoff of the Union Pa
cific. now under construction, to con-
meet Kansas City with the main line In
Nebraska, is another indication of the
desire of Hartman to consolidate the
lines he controls

lis in company with superintendent J.

faithful employees Of the Union Pacific
railroad for some years He is a man
well acquainted with the railroad men
and the travelling public, and he has
numerous friends IN every town through
which his train has passed. He is a
man who understands the railroad bust
ness from the ground up, and it is the
declaration Of his many friends that a
better appointment could not be made
Mr.. Petersen leaves the Union Pacific
to go to the Rock Island as the en-
gineer OF the bridge and building de-
partment, and he leaves this division

he has come in contact during his short

best has no chance to make up time
lost on account of delays incident to a
trip of even a couple of hundred miles,
consistent with conservative and care
gained. During the past few years
there has been a feeling on the part Of
many railroad men that they must put
fast schedules on time cards even If
they can not adhere to them. If a road
is not IN physical condition to make
forty miles an hour it would be more
to its advantage to make thirty-five
miles an hour. as it finally becomes
known that such a road is attempting
the impossible and the public acts ac-
cordingly- The average passenger
would prefer TO use a train of ordinary
speed with the assurance it will arrive
at it's destination on time. The flyer
may look nice on a colored folder, but
when the passenger comes to under
stand that the flyer flies with one
wing broken he begins to figure on the
road that does not promise so much
but gets there regularly
