To Save Famous Monument.

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec 20.-How to
preserve the only remaining monument
of British occupation in this region is
a problem that presents itself TO the
minds of Pennsylvania citizens at
present. In an effort TO keep an old
blockhouse, built in 1864. which is now
in the busiest and most eongested sec
ton of the city, the Daughters of the
American Revolution have been re-
pulsed in the courts AS the old house
cannot stand it has been decided to
bodily remove 1t to some prominent
place where 1t can be seen by visitors.
The historic little building is sur
rounded, except for narrow strip of
land connecting 1t with Penn avenue
by freight yards of the Pennsylvania
railroad. 1t was built during the
stormiest period of the war between
the English and the Indians, 142 years
ago. Pontiac's war had broken out
the year before in 1863, and Fort Pitt,
which then stood on the present site
of Pittsburg, was assailed, by the In
dians. 1t looked as If the garrison
was doomed to death, when Col Henry
Boquet was sent to its relief. On his
way he defeated a large body of In
dianse and after this they gave up the
siege and fled. In 1854 Colonel
Boquet built the blockhouse as an OUT
post of Fort Pitt. 1t is built of heavy
stone with small portfolios for guns.
A meeting of the d. A. r. will be held
tonight to select the new site for the
old building.

SHOULD MARRY YANKEE GIRLS.
That's What the Jap Ambassador
Wants His countrynen To Do.

New York, Dec. 20.-Viscount Siuzo
Aoki, Japanese ambassador, and Mr..
Miyoaka, of the Japanese embassy in
Washington, We're guests at a dinner
given at Sherry.s by a dozen or more
prominent japanese business men of
this city. After dinner the guests
We're escorted by their hosts to the
Nippon club, where Viscount Aoki
made speech, in which he encour-
aged his countrymen to become mar
ried to American women.
Il hear some OF you are married to
American women he said. Il SYM
pathize with you. In associating with
Americans in gentlemanlike, formal
ways, our countrymen have no trou-
ble But when 1t comes to more inti-
mate friendship, our countrymen may
be backward.
Make yourselves worthy of the love
OF millionaires' daughters. When your
fathers in-law see In you something,
they will assist you In every way pos
sible'
AS for the San Francisco question.
Aoki said, among other things that 1t
was a shame on the Japanese nation
to have its sons and daughters segre-
gated from the schools OF the whites.
yet" continued Aolxi, Sin order to
command respect OF Americans, We
necessarily must have some Of those
undesirable i'm our country kept at
home and given some work at home"

HANsBROUGH
HAS new Plan
NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR is
HARD. AT WORK.
He Wants the Interstate Commerce
Commission to Be Given More Power
--Is Against the Big Loads Some
Roads Attempt to Haul.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Hans
brough of North Dakota, who has taken
an active interest in the steps to rem
edy the car shortage, particularly in
the northwest, has prepared the out
lines of legislation which, he believes,
will tend to prevent recurrence of the
present conditions. These have been
shown to the president and to Chair
man Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission. They contemplate legisla-
ton along the following lines:
Giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to inquire into the
equipment capacity, under stress of ex-
traordinary requirements. of all inter-
state railways, so as to judge as to
their ability to move traffic under ex-
traordinary conditions.
Giving the commission the authority
to require shippers holding cars in de-
murrage to unload and reload such
cars within twenty-four hours after
the cars have been placed in position
to be uploaded
Making it a misdemeanor for COM
mon carrier to compel trainmen to at
tempt to move a train containing tom
mage in excess of the registered ca
pacity of the engines hauling such
trains.
Authorizing the commission to re-
quire the temporary use of the idle
equipment of one railroad line to sup
plement the overtaxed equipment of
another.
Many suggestions on legislation af-
fecting the car shortage situation are
being received by the commission.
Senator Kittridge, South Dakota,
expressed the opinion that the coal
famine In the northwest is the result
of the requirement of the amended in
terstate commerce law under which
the railroads have to give thirty days
notice before changing rates, and also
the result of the action of retailers in
putting off shipments of coal until they
could have advantage of the new rate.
The senator made this statement as a
result Of many letters he has received.
He added:
About Oct the railroads gave no.
tice of a rate on coal of 90 per cent
less than the rate then In force. The
retail dealers, to have all the advan-
tage of this rate, allowed the entire
month of October to pass By before
ordering coal. The result was that
the railroads were not able to ship it
fast enough

AT THE CAPITAL.
Some North Dasotans Are in Washing
ton on Special Missions.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 20.--Mr. r..
j. Schultz of Velva, m. d., is in Wash
ington and was among those who
sought Senator Hansbrough in his
committee room. Mr. Schultz is at the
capital upon business before one of the
departments and has been. put wise to
methods Of accomplishing business by
Senator Hansbrough. This is Mr..
Shultz' first visit to the national capi-
toll and evidently he had not been
properly advised as to weather condi-
lions which he might expect to encoun-
ter at the seat Of government during
the month OF December. Generally
speaking it's pretty chilly In Washing
ton for one seeking any favor before
the men who run the government, but
the weather, at least, this year Of our
Lord and the month of December. is
unusually balmy and Mr.. Shultz, tog-
ged out in a fur overcUat and fur
cap, finds himself not only personally
quite uncomfortable, but a figure upon
the streets whose appearance attracts
considerable attention, almost as much
so as did Mark Twain when he, who
went to the other extreme in the mat
ter of clothing, appeared at the capitol

INQUIRY ADJOURNED.
President of Both the N. p. and the
@. NJ. Heard.

@. NJ. Heard.
Minneapolis, Dec. 20.-The interstate
commerce commission, represented by
Franklin X. Lane and John S. Harlan,
adjourned its hearing on the car short
age in the west last night to recon
Vene in Chicago today. Attorney John
H Marble of the commission said to
the Associated Press after the hearing:
1.-THE hearing here in Minneapolis
has borne fruit, in my opinion. That
is what it was for, in a general sense
OF course the commission should have
had more time to spend in the investi-
cation of such big problem. The real
magnitude of the problem was greatly
underestimated,"
Commissioners Harlan and Lane did
not care to express an opinion of the
investigation until the final decision of
the commission had been rendered
from washington. The feature of the
proceedings of the session was brought
forward In the testimony of President
Howard Elliott of the Northern Pa
cific Commissioner Lane and Presi-
dent Elliott had a lively tilt on the
subject of reciprocal demurrage. Pres
ident Elliott, on being asked his opin-
ion of this plan for facilitating traffic,
stated that he did not believe the re-
ciprocal demurrage plan was feasible
1.-THE Northern Pacific Is trying its
best to move the maximum amount of
commerce for the best interests of the
neople," he said.
Commissioner Lane referred to the
low rate OF freight movement between
Grand Forks and Duluth, which was
placed little less than a mile per hour
by one of the witnesses Tuesday.
President Elliott was unmovable
from his position as opposing recipro-
cal demurrage on the ground that 1t
would not move freight faster He said
the railroads collected demurrage for
the purpose of facilitating freight He
also stated that the great difficulty In
handling wheat this year was caused
Dy the movement Of the great bulk OF
the grain to Duluth, where the TERMS
nal facilities were not of the best.
Pres. Jas. r. Hill of the Great North
arn took the stand late in the after
noon. The early part or his testimony
was III the line Of explaining that the
Great Northern had made vast ex-
nanditures for equipment every year
aimee 1900, the expenditure each year
AFTER that exceeding that Of the year
previous. I'm 1905 this increase was not
ii evidence, owing, he said, to the tact
that they had already reached the
stage where the material on hand was
ante sufficient to meet all the demands
or 1906.
Az a witness James J. Hill proved q
alsaupointment. TO be sure, Hill came
M the hearing fortified with mass Of
figures to prove that conditions outside
~ the control or the railroads were
alone responsible for the shortage Of
traffic, but his answers 60 questions

Yuma. Arizona, Dec. 90 The break
ing Of the two bikes which caused the
entire Colorado river to again flow
into the Salton sea has caused ire
parable damage and 1t Is feared that
the government Laquna dam irrigation
project will become an impossibility.
A rough estimate shows that up 60 the
present $25,0O0,0OO damage has been
done. The Southern Pacific railroad
engineers today commenced the con-
struction Of forty miles OF road around
the Salton sea about fifty feet above
the present line. BY the breaking OF
the dikes thousands Of people have lost
their homes and quarter OF million
acres Of farming lands have been sub
merged.

loading and starting, and not thirty
miles covered. This, he said. was ex-
perience all too common and is what
a man must expect who puts his mon
ey into the livestock business in the
northwest and depends upon the rail-
roads to get the cattle to market for
him. AS to other shipments, he told of
one car that came from the west coast
In six months, and OF another that took
a year. Delays were common, but
these were exceptional cases.

on to answer the burning problem of
the hour in more lucid manner than
in which the railroad magnate sue
ceeded
1--WE are to build line from Aneta,
n. D., to Devils Lake, N. d." began
Hill. '.This would seem practically an
alternate line to the twin cities. We
are also building double track line
from Devils Lake to Rugby, N. ID. This
would mean a great diversion of traffic
in that section, but, owing to our in
ability to secure labor, we could not
complete either of these constructions
this year. They will be completed by
next spring. We were within twelve
miles of Devils Lake but could not
complete the work for this falls crop.
There is no place in the United
States where the growth has been as
rapid as along the line of the Great
Northern. Development is tremendous
and presents problem of vast mag
nitude to the railroad. The tonnage
mile has Increased from 100000 in 1893
to 100000 tons in 1904 and almost
doubled since then to the present time.
II have left the sick room to come
here and give these facts to the COM
mission. They are records taken from
the books of the company and beg
the commission to investigate deeply
into this question"
Hilfs records show that the Great
Northern was moving greater vol
ume of freight than most of the four
track lines. He said one of the Mes
aba range branches of the Great Nor
thern had moved a greater tonnage than
any other equal length line in the
world.
