Many Liberals consider this direct ineitemeur
Of the Black Hundreds.
Stories were industriously spread tonight
that the EmperOrs decision to dissolve parIia-
ment was not taken until he had communicated
with Berlin. According TO one story. a member
OF the German embassy went to the telegraph
Office ON Saturday night and engaged wire Tor
direct communication with Emperor william.
AMI only after receiving and transmIttine a
thousand word dispatch from Emperor William
to Emperor Nicholas was the ukase finally
signed. The inference intended to be drawn is
that Emperor William is Emperor Nicholas's
evil genius and false adviser. The trouble with
this story is that the sovereigus would not be
forced to resort to such roundabout methods Of
communication. direct wires are available az
Peterhof Besides. the story is traceable 70
sources which usually seek to make Emperor
William responsible for all Of EurOpe's ills.
The status of the council Of the empire seems
to be in doubt Neither the ukase nor manifesto
mentions it. but whether this was by design or
oversight has not yet been cleared up. II is re-
ported that the council is considered to be in re-
cess. but that special departments of the council

held

In his sixty eighth year James J. Hill
has begun the construction of another
transcontinental railroad. The line is to
run thru the Canadian southwest, is to
ask no Immigrant favors from the gov
eminent, and it is said that within two
months 1000 miles of road will be under
contract. Into the great undertaking,
Hill enters with zest, vigor and deter
mination.
The case of Hill has no mercy on DR..
Osler's theory of the age at which mans
usefulness should reach its terminal sta
tion A few months ago Hill announced
his purpose to retire from active business,
to get time to read book or two But
it's difficult for Hill to retire from bus
mess as it is FOR business to retire from
Hill. Like liberty and union, they are
one and inseparable OF all men he'd be
the most wretched if. in his present vigor,
he should lay aside the reins and get
down from the drivers box. It's peaches
and cream for him to dream great things
and then go ahead and do them. He
likes TO conceive large undertakings and
then execute them. He thinks in mil
lions and, much more, he acts in mil
lions, too. He has a great creative fac
ulty-a gift for construction, for develop
men. for Selling the bull of an opportunity
by the horns.
| Close up to the psalmist's allotted limit
of life. he now begins the execution of a
great project. The Great Northern rail-
road. which stops where the Pacific ocean
begins and which is supplemented by a
steamship line to the orient, will long re-
main great monument to his memory.
But he proposes to erect another monu-
ment just as great. Any reports about his
retiring from business yet awhile should
be taken with a hogshead of salt
