DEDICATE ILLINOIS TEMPLE
WILLIAM j. CALHOUN DELIVERS
GRAFTON OF THE DAY.
Gen. }. c. ScofieId Accepts Handsome
Temple on Behalf of the Fed
eraI Government.

Vicksburg, Miss, Oct. 27.-The ded-
ication of the magnificent Illinois Me-
mortal temple in the Vicksburg Ma
tional park took place Friday under
the most favorable auspices. A clear
and beautiful October day set the seal
of it's approval upon an occasion
which was alike a delightful one to
the men who wore the gray and those
who wore the blue. Fraternalism
was the keynote of the speeches and
was the spirit of the greeting which
was exchanged when the confederate
veterans from Mississippi and Louis
lana met those from Illinois.
William J. Calhoun was the orator
OF the day and addresses We're made
by Cows. Vardaman, of Mississippi,
and Deneen, of Illinois; c. E. Mat
thews, president of the Illinois Mon
ument commission, and others. The
monument was accepted on behalf of
the United States government by Gen.
J. c. Scofield, who represented the
secretary of war on this occasion.
The booming of cannon and the music
of bands added much to the spirit of
the dedication. The parade, which
preceded the dedication was one of
the greatest events of it's kind in the
history of this section. The troops
were composed of the First Illinois
regiment of infantry, the infantry of
the state of Mississippi and a battal
ion of artillery of Mississippi. Hun
dreds of carriages containing men
and women of national reputation
were in line.
Among the invited guests Of the
state of Illinois who attended the ex
| ercises were: Mrs. John A. Logan
and her daughter, Mrs. Tucker; Rear
Admiral Bowman H. McCalla, U. S
| N, who commanded the Marblehea6
in the Spanish war; and Maj. Gen. Eu
gene A. Carr, U. S. A., the only sur
viving Illinois division commander Of
the Vicksburg campaign.

SAY ROAD CONTROLS
HOLDING COMPANY
RAILWAY SAID TO BE INDIRECT
OWNER OF COAL
LAND.
Operators AIlege They Are Not Re-
ceiving Just Treatment at the
Hands Of the Carrying Concerns,
Who Show Favors.

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct. 25.-The in
vestigation being conducted here by
the interstate commerce commission
into the relation of the Southern rail-
way to coal lands and questions of car
supply and distribution, was conclud-
ed Wednesday. The two members of
the commission here, Judge Clements
and Commissioner Harlan, together
with c. G. McChord, Kentucky state
railroad commissioner, and others at
tending agents and attorneys of the
commission, went to Louisville, KY,
where a similar investigation will be
begun.
Alleged Road Gyms Coal Company.
1t Is said an effort will be made to
establish the fact that the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad company owns
the Louisville Property company, a
corporation which owns about $4,000
acres of land in Kentucky and Ten
nessee, and which leases coal veins
to companies on a royalty basis. An
effort will be made to prove that the
incorporators of the Louisville Prop
erty company are, or were, officers of
the Louisville & Nashville railway
and that these officers now own, or
did own, stock in the company.
Discrimination in Cars.
The commission entered into an ex
animation of witnesses from the Jel
lico region. Numerous complaints
were made of unfairness of discrim
ination in the furnishing of cars to
Jellico operators by the Southern and
Louisville & Nashville railroads. The
complaints against the Louisville &
Nashville grew out of conditions prior
to the opening of the main line OF
that company to Knoxville, Atlanta
and southern points in April of last
year.
Operators Complain.
Witnesses from the Jellico district
testified that the Southern railway is
refusing longer to furnish cars tt
mines located on the Louisville
Nashville tracks, and some Of the ties
timony tended to show that certain
mines have been favored in this re
spect.
The alleged refusal of the Southern
! Railway company and of the Louis
| Vile & Nashville Railroad company
| to exchange switching accommoda
tons in louisville, Nashville, Knox
Vile and Atlanta was also the subjec
of bitter complaint, but Judge Gle
| ments stated that the commission hat
| no authority to remedy the distress
caused by this refusal.

Executive Chamber,


Honolulu, Hawaii Dec. 10 1905.
Dear Sir: Inclossd I hand you sup
Elemental estimates as follows:
Legislative expenses, Territory of
Hawaii, 1907: For legislative expenses,
namely: Furniture, light, stationery,
record cvasings and files, printing and
binding, indexing records, postage ice,
water, clerk hire, mileage of members,
| incidentals, pay of chaplain, clerk, SER
geant-at-arms, stenographers and apes-
sengers thirty thousand dollars: Pro-
vided, That the members of the Legis-
lature of the Territory of Hawaii shall
not draw their compensation of two
hundred dollars for any extra session
held in compliance with section fifty
four of an act to provide government
| for the Territory of Hawaii, approved
! April 30, A. D. 1900.
There is omitted from the foregoing
the compensation of members provided
| in the "organic act" with the idea that
| this should be met from local funds.
! This amounts to $4,000 for any regular
session and $4,000 for any extra session.
If this payment for the extra session
be allowed, it is but natural for every
! legislative assembly to conclude that it
cannot complete the business satisfac-
torily in sixty days and must resort to
an extra session. This has been the
Universal rule since annexation. There
fore if this appropriation is made with
proviso that the members of the legis-
lative assembly shall not draw their
compensation of 5000 each for any extra
session the assembly might deem ne
! cessary to hold, the necessity for most
extra session woulrd in all probability
disappear. Very sincerely yours,
G. r. CARTER,
