RAISE PRICE OF BOXES,
Postonice Omci2Is Announce a 100 per
Cent Increase in Rates.

An increase of 100 per cent in the
rental of boxes for mail at the post
office is announced today by A K.
Rodgers, postmaster. under inStruc-
tions received from the postmaster
general. The increase will go into ef-
feet on the first of January and will
interest about 400 patrons of lock
boxes and drawers at the central post
Office At substation A an increase on
the rates will be made and a new
schedule be enforced but the con-
sequent increase will not amount to so
much. No boxes are maintained at
the other substations
At the present time the rental price
for lock boxes is so cents a quarter
and this will be increased under the
adoption of the new schedule to 81,
While the rental for drawers is in
creased from 81 to 81
The Increase is general all over the
Uiited States especially in the larger
cities. The claim is made by the post
master general that the present sched-
ule works an injustice upon the small
towns where lock boxes are main
tanned the rental relatively being
smaller in the larger cities than in the
small towns In order to adjust this
apparent inequality of rates the new
schedule is adorted with the prOba BILE
consequence that the rates will be re-
duced IN the small towns.
There are two classes of boxes in
Topt ka the small and large, known as
lock boxes and drawers.
The order further states: at must
be paid on or before the first day of
each quarter. If it is not so paid you
viii be compelled to lock the boxes
from the owners on the first day of
each quarter

HARDLY BELOW FREEZING.
Predicted ssBIizzard'' Failed to Reach

The storm which was headed this
way failed to reach Topeka as was

was expected to drop down to the zero
mark is still a good ways above that
mark 1t is rather cold in Topeka
though, especially indoors and those
who have had but little opportunity to
get out are of the opinion that it is
much colder than it really is.
The thermometer will be a little low
er tonight but hardly enough to make
any material difference. TomoIl Ow
morning will be warmer than today
There is a fierce storm raging on the
Pacific coast which may reach Topeka
but it is too early to tell yet how it will
affect the local thermometer. The cold

was reported from Devils Lake. North

as 80 degrees below zero.

Two Mexicans stole a horse which was tied at the Spray shaft yesterday afternoon. both mounting it, and rode off toward Cananea. The horse be. Ilonged to the Bisbee-Naco Water Com ipany. It was ridden by H. W. Shuck, foreman of the company. who had tied lit there while he was comforting with an employe of the shaft on business. When he stepped out to get his horse he saw the two Mexicans riding away both mounted on it. and they were about a mile away.
 Following them to Lowell Shuck notified Constable Humm. who pro 'ceeded after them in hot pursuit
 When the Mexicans saw they were be ing followed, they beat the horse into a run in an attempt to get across the

 Horse stealing is common in Low. ell. South Bisbee and Don Luis. In the past few months several burros and horses have been taken from places where they have been tied.

ST GEORGE AND THE DRAGON.

The greatest legal contest that this country has ever witnessed has now begun in the United States court by the attorney general. It is to de eide whether an enormously capital ized and immensely powerful private corporation, in control of a great na- tional product and owning or control ling railroads, mines, steamship lines, banks and great lines of manufacture, is above the law of the land. which 1t has systematically violated.

Every once in while the ariihme- ticians figure up the changes which have been made in President Roose- velt's cabinet, and find them numer- eus- Then We are reminded that when Mir Roosevelt suddenly found himself president, on that direful day in the fall of 1901, he said that he would keep McKiniey's- cabinet, and invited them all to remain.

boundary line of the two countries, al the point where water is diverted to Imperial valley. is accountable for ihe point raised by the senator. The intake. it seems. is on the Mexican side of the line. and 1t is claimed that the mischief caused by the river is due to .'the failure of the Mexican government to exercise proper super slsaon over the construction of the cs- nal"
 There mas Oeen good deal of fric- tion heretofore over the respective American and Mexican interests in the waters of the Colorado The ex- tensive diversion of water from the river for irrigation purposes on the American side. and the prospect of a much greater drain in future has evoked mild protests from the Mex;- can authorities. The Mexicans have no present use for the Colorado's waters. to any considerable extent. but they foresee time when they may want to irrigate extensively on their own contiguous lands.
 Ii seems rather strange. on the face of Senator Flints contention as re- ported from Washington. that the Mex ican government should be expected to exercise proper supervision over the canal' i ntheir own territory when the canal service applies entirely 50 lands on the American side. That is a matter. however. that will be set tied amicably, no doubt. by represen- tatfyes of the two governments. The question of expense is of but little consequence compared with the threatened destruction of the thous- ands of homes already established or contemplated in the reclaimed lands of the Imperial valley.
 The emergent need is a herculean effort to lasso the Colorado and put it back permanently in its natura! corral. If the railway company is not strong enough to accomplish that purpose both the American and Mexi- can government should assist, if pos sible Afterward it will be proper to pass along the issue of responsibility to American and Mexican diplomats.

DANGEROUS AND
 REVOLUTIONARY.

President Rooseyeft's special mes ssage op the agitation growing out of the establishment and maintenance by San Francisco of separate schools for Japanese residents is by all odds the most dangerous and revolutionary that has ever come out of the vh.ts house. says the Republic
 It is revolutionary because in it the president buliies the Caiifornians and threatens them with all sorts of evil things which the constitution and the laws of the United States give him no power to do unto them.
 The founders of the government made it plain that the federal govern zrent has 10 control whatever oyer 6e institutions and internal affairs of <he states. There was not 3 man in he convention of i7S7 who would not Nave been shocked by the claim now Advanced by Mir Roosevelt that rights 9frongly safeguarded by the coastitu- 1ion could he taken away by any |freaty made cnly by the president and <he senate.
 4 treaty to enter into the supreme law of the land must not impose upon our government any obligations wiiich the constitution does not authorize. Only laws made by congress in ac- cordarce xrith the constitution enter into the supreme law of the land. The constitution expressly says so. An act of congress needs for its compile ton the affirmative of both houses of congress and the president. A treaty en our nsst requires the concurrence of only the president and the senate. Surely the convention of 1787 was not composed og irbeciies who would give to the president and one-haif of con gress a higher power in creating su- preme Law than 1t gave to the presi- dent and the whole of congress.
 The message is dangerous becsrse in it the president asserts the right to thrust into the most delicate and
  sensitive institutions of state the strong and arbitrary hand of govern ment 3o0o miles distant, a government upon which the people of the coast can exert little direct control. and which is not at all in touch with local feeling and needs.
 The message is dangerous because it is written in utter contempt of the constitutional safeguard of local fn- dependence. which torbids the fed ersI government to send troops into state for police duty without the express request of the state legisla- ture or of the governor if the legisla- ture cannot be convened.
 The message Is, in short. deplora- ble from beginning to end. since it reveals that the most energetic and restless of all our presidents is either Ignorant or rnmindful of the funda- rionta! principles of the governmess of which he is the chief executive

London Stock Exchange.

London, June 23.-The stock exchange
experienced another unsettling week.
Early dullness gave way to activity and
frmness on the reduction of the Bank of
England's rate of discount, but depression
ensued and the week finished dull with
quotations lower all around. Various
causes were assigned to the weekend
break in Americans, the possibilities OF
fresh issues of capital. and the prevailing
uneasiness regarding the Russian inter-
Tor situation. The latter, of course, d.
rectly affects Paris, but indirectly 1t has
an adverse effect here. The consols start
ed we'll in anticipation of a reduction of
the Bank of England's rate of discount,
but when it was found that the reduction
did not bring in fresh business. or cause
activity In giltedged securities, disap-
pointed holders realized. The result was
net loss.

Games Today.
Birmingham at Shreveport.
Nashville at New Orleans.
Montgomery at Memphis.

Shreveport, June 23.-(Special.)-To
Fisher celebrated his return to slab duty
today by scoring victory over the
Barons to the tune of to 3, increasing
his phenomenal pitching record to six
teen wins out of seventeen games pitched.
Sidewheeler Sallee who was Fishers op-
ponent served splendid article of ball
and If anything outpointed his adversary,
but opportune hitting by the locals and
the costly hobbies of the Barons tells
the story of his defeat.
The real hero of the contest was Alb
stein of the locals, who deserves all the
credit for the Pirates runs, scoring two
himself and sending Byrne across the
plate ahead of him in the third inning,
when he planted the pill to the far corner
of the enclosure for a home run. Alb
stein secured two singles and a home
run In three times at bat Manager
Vaughn of the visitors also cracked out
three singles in as many times at bat.
The Barons started the run getting in
the second, when Evans wild throw to
third allowed them two runs. With Wal
tiers down, Oyler walked and stole sec
u.
to retire Oyler In a chase, but Evans
made a high throw to thiro, on which Oy
Ter scored and Matthews reached third.
The squeeze play was then worked,
Vaughn going out at first on bunt.
while Matthews was scoring.
A wild throw to first by Alcock gave
the Pirates q run in the same spasm.
King grounded to Alcock, who heaved
the ball high over Vaughn's cupalo, al
lowing the runner to reach third A long
fly by Graffius enabled King to score.
Two more runs were scored by the locals
In the next inning With. two down, Byrne
singled and scored when Abstein drove
the ball to deep center, the latter max
ing the circuit himself before the ball
could be returned to the diamond.
Oyler's double, Matthews sacrifice and
Vaughn's safe hit, gave the visitors their
last run in the seventh inning.
The Pirates last run was scored in the
sixth when Abstein singled, took second
on Daleys sacrifice and scored on Smiths
wild throw of Kings long fly.
