Judge Charles A Prouty of Vermont, a

The senate committee on interstate
commerce has adopted an amendment to
the railway rate bill that would result in

commission. 1t provides that not more

SAFE COUNSEL PREVAILS.
Russian Parliament Settles Down to
Regular Work.

St. Pctersburg.-The threatened
storm over the Emperor's refusal to
receive the delegation from the lower
house of Parliament, appointed to pre-
sent to him its reply to the speech
from the throne. has been averted.
The House Monday adopted n reso-
luton to proceed with the regular
order of business and the discussion OF
the agrarian question began.
The moderate leaders of the Consti-
tutional Democrats. after laboring with
the hot-heads until the early morning
hours. succeeded In convincing them
that 1t would be fatal blunder to
precipitate conflict upon false
issue, and n resolution was prepared
pointing out that the importance OF thel
address consisted In its contents, andl
not in the form in which 1t is trans
mitted to the Emperor.
A resolution of Novogorodseff, urg-l
ing the necessity for overlooking minor
incidents and getting to work on agra.
rian questions. was unanimously
adopted, after which the House pro-
ceeded with the agrarian debate.
The project adopted by the conven-
ton of the Constitutional Democrats,
laying down the general principle that
the land belonged to those who titled
It, was formally presented, but was
temporarily laid aside to permit the
organization of committees to examine
credentials and investigate the election
Of members. Eleven committees, trl-
cluding the entire membership OF the
House and distributed by lot, were ap-
pointed for this purpose T.

sion by a ministry approved by a ma
jority in the House.
The spirit of revolution is in the air,
and a conflict between the crown and
the nation appears inevitable. While
the House avoided the appearance of
delegating nn ultimatum, there seems
to be no alternative between surrender
and war.
The gloomiest forebodings are heard
and the general impression is that the
country is on the verge of a titanic
struggle, which may be delayed, but
not averted.

THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE.

This Northwest Passage may be briefly explained. The long coasts of the mainland are not clogged, like those on many other polar shores, with icebergs Or glaciers or thick sea ice, says Cyrus c. Adams, in the American Monthly Review of Reviews for Janu- ary. The coast is low, the tundra be- hind it is only a little higher than the sea, and conditions are not favorable for the formation and flow of glaciers. Icebergs, therefore, are not found, be- cause in the Arctic they are merely the broken-o off ends of glaciers.
 But from 30 to 40 miles north of Point Barrow, the most northern point of the continent, stretches the great barrier of sea ice, with hummocks and ridges thrust, by pressure. from 20 to 50 feet above the general level, so that when McClure's Investigator got into the heavy foe the ice sometimes rose around her as high as the yardarms. As no islands intervene for hundreds of miles east of Boring Sea to protect the coast from the polar pack, why is it that this heavy ice is not forced down upon the shores?
 It is because the coastal waters are comparatively shallow and the sea ice grounds miles away; and farther east the coasts of the mainland are pro- tected from the sea ice, not only by
Arizona republican., 1906-01-10

shallow water, but also by the islands
 that extend almost continuously from the Banks Land to the Atlantic end of
 Hudson Strait.
 So the ice along the coast is of the
 winters formation, and in summer it disappears entirely or is so narrowed
 by melting as to leave channels of
 greater or less width that are naviga-
 ble for two or three months. The fact
 is, as Lieutenant Wheeler of our reve-
 hue cutter service recently said, this
 Northwest Passage has been made
 time and time again by the overlap ping of the tracks of vessels between i the Atlantic and the Pacific. San Fran cisco whalers have already pushed far eastward beyond the Mackenzie delta and the mouth of the .Coppermine river. Collinson, during the Franklin search, took his vessel eastward through these channels almost to the very waters from which the Gjoa started last sum-
 mer and a short sledge journey farther
 east brought him within sight of King William Land, but he little dreamed that the bodies of many of the men he
 was seeking were scattered along it's | shores.
 | In time this route may be of some | importance. Mineral resources have been found along the northern edge of | Canada, and some day they will be de- | veloped. This water route is by no | means ideal, but, to some extent, it will facilitate the operations of miners and | WhalerS
