REPORTED ILL IN NEW YORK
Bearer Of Message From Santo Domingo
May Have Left for New Post
at Trinidad.

William H. Handley, American consul
al Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo. who
was in the wreck OF the ili-faIed Carib-
bean liner Cherokee of the New Jersey
coast two weeks ago. while on his way
TO Washington, has not arrived at the
State Department. and IL is believed
that upon arriving at New York he at
once proceeded to his new post at Trini-
dad.
Officials OF the State Department are
somewhat surprised that Mr.. Handley
has not come on 20 Washington and
that they nave not even heard from him
officially since the accident.
Bearer of Message.
Handley left Santo Domingo imme-
diately following the departure into
exile Of the former president, Carlos
Morales, and al the time Il was report
ed from Monte Christi that he was the
bearer OF an important report on the
revolution. presumably from Minister
Dawson. AT Santo Domingo City. 10 the
State Department.
When Mr. Handiey WAS brought
ashore, together with other survivors OF
the ships passengers, by the life-saving
crew at Atlantic City. Il was reported
again that he was bearing TO AaSnins-
ton an official report on the revolution
The first report from Atlantic City stat
ed that the documents. which were IN a
trunk had gone down In the sea, but
later II WAS reported that all baggage
had been recovered
Was Taken Sick.
With other passengers. Handley was
sent on 10 New York, where for several
DAYS. It was reported. he suffered from
q severe cold as a result OF the expos
ure. Since then no word has come 10
washington concerning him, and the
State department even yet has no
knowledge OF the report on the short
lived revolution 7 also was presumed
that in this report was important infor-

Some of the Facts.

One of the speakers who, during
the House debate on the rate bill.
has contributed real enlightenment
OF a practical sort. is Congressman
Hinshaw OF Nebraska. He compress
ed into an address OF less than a half
hour some propositions that are hard
TO meet, and some answers to the
opponents of regulation which like
wise are very effective.
The average freight haul in this
country, he said. is over 240 miles;
in Europe. twenty-five miles. On
competitive business over long dis
tances rates are lower in this country
than in Europe; but on non-competi-
tive and local business they are high
err Specifically, Mr.. Hinshaw declar
ed that local rates in his home State
are shown by investigation TO be four
times as high as the English average.
Again, the opponents of regulation
have urged thst rates have steadily
fallen in this country. Mr. Hinshaw
admitted this as TO the period from
1868 to 1900; but as TO the period
since 1900, he insisted that there had
been a striking rise in rates, which
he estimated, on domestic freight, at
90 per cent, though the railroads ad-
nit only 5 per cent That there has
b been an increase, however, in these
years of the greatest volume and
greatest increase Of traffic ever
known is admitted on both sides of
the argument.
Further on Mr.. Hinshaw took up
the argument that the railroads pay
higher wages here than abroad. He
admitted that this is true as 70 the
average wage per employe; but on
the other hand he pointed out that in
Europe the number of employees is
Immensely greater, so that the aggre-
gate of wages paid per mile per an
mum is $4,000, against $500 per mile
in this country-a difference that is
certainly startling. Then Mr.. Hin
shaw took up the difference in legiti-
mate cost OF railroad construction in
this country and European nations,
showing that 1t has been several
times as much abroad because OF the
very high prices that had to be paid
for terminals and right-of-way, and
of the immensely superior construc-
ton and safety of foreign roads. In
England, for instance. there is Lot
single grade crossing.
These and many other extremely
significant and enlightening facts
gathered from accepted and approved
statistical studies. were presented IN
compressed and striking form. Much
more OF the same sort might have
been added. The speaker went into
specific cases Of unWarTanted increase
OF rates, which have seriously af
fected the price Of commodities USED
by great numbers of people Thus
the railroads South of the Ohio river
ne said, at one time raised the rate
s,a lumber to the Ohio river 40 pei
cent, despite the fact that at thai
time the business was growing very
fast and there was no apparent neet
of the increase except that the traffic
could be made to bear II. This increast
greatly added TO the cost of lumber
throughout the entire middle West
These are some Of the facts. Th'
debate may be relied upon TO bring
others TO light. II may be we shall
get to the bottom of this railway rat,
business after all.

The Worlds Interest.

Great Britain is getting ready TO
trv some of the things that are
promised to this country when our
radicals get control OF things. The
English radicals have been in
hopeless minority for something like
the same period as the American
Democrats. Now they suddenly turn
up in control of the commons by an
almost unprecedented majority. If
the next House of Representative
should contain about 225 Democrats
and fifty socialists or Social Demo-
Gratis, with the rest divided between
Republicans OF various degrees, all
the way from the stanchest stand
patter TO the most determined ad-
vOcate of revision it. would present
a fair parallel to the new house Of
commons
II is a good thing for this country
that there is e be a chance of observ-
ing tie experiment in radical policies
tina England may now be expected
to ". 1t will be harder for England
than il would for this country, be-
cause they don't have national con-
ventions there, and adopt platforms
TO which the party organization is
pledged. The house of commons
does not railroad an administration
policy into law in the fashion that
has recently been exemplified in
| Speaker CannOn's management of his
House The administration policy
requires more shaping and molding
and organization IN the commons
than here. When an American cleo
ton has gone overwhelmingly for one
/ party. America knows what it has
declared for and the successful party
;lnows what it is expected 10 deliver.
1t is not so IN England to anything
like the same extent.
AT present, Britain understands
that she has decided against a pro-
| tective tariff; but there Is wide d.
yergence of opinion as 10 whether
| she has declared for Irish home rule,
or for the various plans of nationali-
cation or multiplication of industry
that many OF the radicals and labor
ties urge. The English progressives
always find themselves confronted by
| peculiar embarrassment when they
come into power, on account Of these
uncertainties as to their mandate
from the people. Ireland wzn,s one
thing, the great industrial cities want
another, and the rural sections Jf the
kingdom are likely to demand third.
There are various sections of the
dominating party with varying views
of foreign and colonial policies.
But in general the Liberals have
come in the last century TO stand for
the nations interest in progressive
domestic policies. To them the eoun-
Itry has turned when IT felt that things
were going wrong at nome. 1t went
TO them for elective reform in the
first third of the century, for free
trade in the second third, for ballot
extension and more reform in the last
third. The conservatives stand for
the vigorous foreign policy. Because
foreign relations are, on the whole
in pretty satisfactory condition now
the United Kingdom has taken up
domestic problems, and the results
will be of interest and concern to the
whole world. The English and their
colonies are doing the most advanced
experimenting in social and economic
policies that is being done anywhere
in the world; but the world is full
of people who wish them well and are
willing to enjoy the benefits of theil
experience.

Sciatica Cured after Twenty Years OF
Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr.. j.
B. Massey, of 1922 Clinton St. Minnea-
oplis, Mimi, was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he en-
dured during this time is beyond COM
prehension. Nothing gave him any
permanent relief until he used Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. One application
of that liniment relieved the pain and
made sleep and rest possible, and less
than one bottle has effected perma-
nent cure. If troubled with sciatica or
rheumatism why not try 25 cent bot
tie of Pain Balm and see for yourself
how quickly it relieves the pain. For
