CUTS TARIFF
BADGER RAILWAY BOARD Low.
Frs GRAIN RATES.
Great Saving TO Shippers of Wiscon.
sin BY Decision Reducing Charges
About One Cent Bushel.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 1o-Grain
rates for the state Of Wisconsin will
be reduced practically one cent per
bushel by an opinion of the railway
commission, handed down Thursday.
This is the most important decision
that has ever been rendered by the
Wisconsin commission The ord er
will affect all of the railroads operat.
ing in the state of Wisconsin. The
matter was started by a complaint
made by O. g. Kingy against the Wis.
consin Central and later by com.
plant of w. Z. Houser against the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the
Minneapolis & Omaha and the Chi.
cago & Northwestern The matter
was conducted as an investigation OF
grain rates between stations in Wis
consin and Milwaukee by the rail
road commission acting on its own
motion. The two complaints involved
grain rates from Colfax and Mon
dow to Milwaukee only.
The commission notified the rail.
road companies that a complete in.
vestigation would be made on their
own initiative of the whole question,
and the railroad companies appeared
at formal hearing July 10, when
sworn testimony was received at that
time on the matter.
The Independent investigation OF
the commission with reference to
these grain rates dates almost back
to the time of organization, and an
elaborate statistical compilation had
been made before the first hearing.
The hearings in the matter Of pas
senger rates have contributed much
to an exact solution of the question.
The opinion states that the final ad-
justment of figures has not yet been
made in passenger rates. .s..z.
In view of the fact that Wisconsin
will ship 175,000,O0O bushels of grain
this year the reduced rate will cause
a large saving to the shippers through:
out the state J..

KING OF TRAMPS VISITS IN HAvRE
"A No. l. Spends Saturday Here Has
Travelled All Over the World

HaVre received a visit from man
Vi national, or almost International
reputation in the person of "a No. 1"
Or the King of Tramps."
fefhaps the individual should hard
~ be classed with the genus Hobo, al
though he is a traveller of world wide
reputation for he is willing to earn an
honest dollar at anytime. The party
referred to is called A No /, and by
mat name he is known all over the
United States and in foreign countries.
This interesting individual is per-
haps 80 years old, short of stature
with quick, energetic movement that
shows him to be hustler. He is of
French and German decent and was
born in San Francisco.
NO. l, as We will call him, since he
never revealed his real name to any
OF his acquaintance. is the champion
train beaten of the United States. He
earned this unique title by beating his
way in company with reporter of the
National Police Gazette in 1894, when
he travelled from New York to San
Francisco without spending a cent in
the short time of eleven days and 6
hours. He received a medal from
Richard K. Fox which he now proudly
wears and,also $1,000 in cash for per-
forming this remarkable feat.
This should be honor enough for an
ordinary tramp, but A No. is not
one of these. A memorandum book
which he has carried through all lbs
journeys shows that since 1883 he has
travelled $4,000 miles, 10000 of which
was by water, and for all these miles
his entire travelling expenses amounted
to only $3.50. He has been in Europe
seven times. Cuba four times twice in
Alaska, once each in Ceylon, Calcut-
ia, Venezuela and Columbia and when
but II years Of age walked from Belize
in British Honduras to Guatemala City
and thence to the City of Meico, an
even 1900 miles. Besides this he has
visited nearly every town of impor-
lance in the United States and Canada.

able Intelligence as the result of his
travels. He reads and speaks fluently
four different languages and many
pages of his memarondum book are
written in German. Personally he is a
man of good habits, he uses neither
liquor nor tobacco does not gamble or
steal, nor does he associate with ordi-
nary trarnps. He is an expert at cary
ing and with his pocket knife carves
out funny heads and faces from small
fresh potatoes which as they dry and
wrinkle present a most grotesque and
novel appearance. The potatoes are
not only excellent souveniers of the
work of this peculiar traveller, but
they are really works of art we'll wort

Many of these funny little heads are

tract attention.
These he sells for small sum thus
more than paying expenses as his
friends in different towns give him
board and lodging and he never pays
out money for railroad fare.
Our boss tramp is a neat appearing
fellow for when he is ready to travel
he puts on his jumper and over-alls
and rides the break beam or head bag
gage in becoming style and yet he is
the friend of the railroad people, even
the detectives.
No one seeing thiserratic traveller
would imagine for a moment tath his
sole ambition was to beat the railroad
and transportation companies out of
all the mileage possible, but such is
the case. Here are his rules and regu-
lations which he has written in his
memorandum book and which he dill
gently and faithfully observes:
Keep good company or none.
Always tell the truth.
Never be idle
When you speak to persons look
them in the face
Never gamble or steal.
Never go with blanket stiffs, dyna-
miters, tin can Or alcohol tramps.

Bomb Makers
Among the
Anarchists
.HE persistent attempts Of the
anarchists on the lives of royal
personages in Europe and the

lie persistent attempts OF the
anarchists on the lives of royal
personages in Europe and the
frequency of assassinations In
Russia have called attention to the &C.
tivtty Of the devotees Of the red flag
and the righteousness Of their methods
Of murder. The bomb which was
thrown at the king of Spain and his
fair bride on their wedding day was
concealed In bouquet, and none knew
that behind the flowers was terrible
weapon of destructon-none but the
man who threw it at the happy royal
pair and his confederates, If such there
were. The manufacture of bombs for
the killing Of human beings Is a dan
gerous and an abhorrent industry. yet
1t Is carried on upon scale of surpris-
Ing extent, and into 1t enter the In
ventions and discoveries which form
some Of the marvels of modern science.
The activity Of those engaged In 1t is
such that Andrew D. White, ex-mInis-
ter to Germany, recently suggested the
formation Of an international govern
mental alliance for the suppression Of
such operations. The United States,
though 1t has not suffered as Euro
pean countries have from the energy
Of murder perpetrating societies, Is not
entirely free from danger in this re-
spect. The death of President McKin-
ley, the threats against the life of
President Roosevelt and the settle
ments Of anarchists discovered in va
rious parts Of the country are proof
Of this. Nor are all the assassinations
and bomb explosions which have oc-
CURED In recent years In America
traceable to the work OF professed an
archists. The death Of Governor
Steunenberg of Idaho was caused by
bomb, and the workmen who were
killed on the station platform at indie
pendence, Colo, were blown up by
such an engine of destruction. It Is
not supposed that the men responsible
Tor these crimes were anarchists.
France seems to be the principal CEN
ter Of the bomb making industry at
present. In Paris so many outrages

Washington, ID. c., July 2,-Presiden
Roosevelt has written a letter to con-
gresham J. NJ. Dixon the author of
the bill for the opening of the Black
feet reservation, which the president
vetoed in which the executive explains
he could not approve the measure be-
cause of the bureau of Indian affairs
being opposed to it since the water
rights of the Indians were not con-
served.
There has been much representation
Of this matter in certain Montana
newspapers, which have attempted to
fix the responsibility for the failure of
the measure at this session of con-
gress, but the presidents letter shows
the impossibility of passing the origin
al senate bill against the pronounced
opposition of the bureau of Indian af-
fairs and the administ ration. 1t is fully
expected that at the conference to
which the president has invited Sem
ator Carter and Representative Dixon
a measure will be formulated which
will not only conserve the rights of tha
Indians as demanded by the admin
istration, but which will also prove
satisfactory to the people of Montana
The presidents letter to Represen-
tative Dixon is as follows
MY dear Congressman: l am sorry
that | can't sign in its present shape
the act introduced by you providing
for the survey and alloting and open
ing of the Blackfeet reservation, my
objection being chiefly to the waters
rights amendment put on in the SEN
ate. The secretary of the interior ad-
vises against the signing of the bill in
view of the enclosed report of the
acting commissioner of the Indian bu-
reau, especially the part running as
follows:
Attention is invited to the fact
that all of the waters of the reserva-
ton are at once subject to approprla-
ton under the laws of the state OF
Montana; but such appropriation shall
not be held to create right adverse
to any Indian allottee who actually ap-
propriates water or for whom an actu-
al appropriation is made to the extent
that may be necessary for use on the
allotment within two years from the
date of the presidents proclamation
opening the surplus lands to settlement
While this language would seem to
have been designed to protect the
water rights of the Indian allottees, I
am strongly of the belief that in prac-
tice it will fail to do SO. In the first
place, therewill be a necessary delay
of several years before the allotments
can be made, owing to the fact that
the reservation in not surveyed; and
even after it is surveyed and allot-
mants made thereafter, no actual ap-
preparation of waters can be made by |

PRESIDENT Tells WHY He DID IT.

the Indians for them, as they have no
matans reconstruct the necessary ir-
| rigation bitches and this bill makes no
appropriation to aid them in so doing.
They will derive no funds from their
surplus lands for this purpose for sew
OF the presidents proclamation. If this
Dill becomes a law, I think it will be
found that a very largo part of the
waters OF the reservation will at once,
or within a very short time, he ap-
propriated by white settlers living out
side thereof, and that irrigation works
will be constructed for their use. Whe
the time comes when the Indian alot-
tee is ready to appropriate water it
will in all probability have been COM
pletely appropriated and fully used by
white settlers who have expended large
sums on their irrigation works and
other improvements in making homes
for themselves. True, under the terms
of this bill the Indian seem to have
right totakethe water from the white
settlers, but the practical difficulties
against doing this in the light of what
has just been said are, in my opinion,
too obvious to require extended COM
ment"
i earnestly desire to see this Indian
reservation opened for boni fled set
tiers; but it is absolutely necessary
that the water rights of the Indians
be conserved that there shall be no
question whatever as to their being
ample for each Indians allotment of
irrigable land. There seems to be a
conflict OF views as to whether this is
fully covered in the bill now before
me. The Indian bureau insists that it
is not covered; and l am inclined to
agree with tihsVieW. The bureau has
an agent at present on the Blackfeet
reservation looking up this very point
1t is too hate now in the closing days
of the session to get any report from
him, or other information which will
enable me to decide as between the
claims advanced on this subject, and
it is out of the question to sign the bi
be sure that the rights of
the Indians are conserved. l will take
it up and consider it with you and
Senator Carter Immediately after the
converting of congress in December.
Commissioner Leupp himself will be
here at that time, and We will have tn
full reportof the agent of the Indian
bureau who is now investigating mat
tiers ON the ground. have no questio
that we can then come to an agree
ment and secure the immediate pass
age of an act which will achieve the
purpose which you and Senator Car
ter have in view So this will only
mean a delay of five months. But if
the bill in its present shape is not
withdrawn I shall have to veto it.
Sincerely yours,
Therefore Roosevelt"
