USED IN ORDER TO PERMIT
REVIEW BY COURTS.
LONG FIGHT NEARLY ENDED
BELIEVED THAT STRUGGLE OVER
RAILROAD RATE MEASURE is
ABOUT CONCLUDED.

Washington, Feb. 21.-'L lawfully" is
10 be the word employed In amending
the Hepburn bill SO as to permit re-
views by the courts of rates fixed by
the interstate commerce commission.
It will be used in preference to 'rea-
sonable," flair" or Just" It Is re-
garded as virtually limiting an appeal
to the courts to the one proposition Of
constitutionality. The amendment in
this shape does not suit the Aldrich-
Foraker Elkins faction, which desires
that a broader expression and mean
ing be given. 1t is said this faction
will be outvoted both in committee and
in the senate, and must eventually
yield to the inevitable,
1--WE are getting together on court
review amendment" is the news hand
ed out by all parties to the pending
controversy. The confident prediction
is made that rate bill will be report
ed from the interstate commerce COM
mission on Friday. Every one seems
convinced that an end of the long
struggle Is III SlSnt, Dut HoDouy dp~
pears to be particularly happy. Each
senator who discusses the subject has
the symptoms of man who has been
taking bitter medicine.
The amendment drawn by Senator
Knox still Is IN the hands Of Attorney
General Moody, to whom II was given
ny the president for an opinion. Mr..
Moody thinks the Hepburn bill is ade-
quate as it stands and does not want
any provision for judicial review
The Knox amendment permits ap-
| peals to the court, but without suspen'
| sion OF the Objectionable rate during

| cisiOn in the case of the Minnesota

gated absolute authority to fix a mini

no appeal The law was pronounced
unconstitutional.

meets with the line OF the Alberta
Railway and Irrigation Co. 1t has
also the we'll known branch running
north to Fernie, the portion Of the
Great Northern on the Canadian side
being known as the Crows Nest
Southern.
Further west in Canada it owns and
operates the line Of the kootenay
Railway and Irrigation Co., the Mel
son sud TT. Shepard, the Red Mount
aisi way and the V. V. and C., all
connecting with branches from the
trunk line. On the coast it has the
track from Seattle to Vancouver. The
prospect of great developments bot h
in southern and northern Alberta in
the years to come, has undoubtedly
been fully considered by The officials
of the G. n. R., the company having
already a very large interest in the
province. The region through which
the proposed railway would run was
for many years regarded with great
disfa 3or, even by those who had the
fullest knowledge OF it. During re-
cent years this conception of the
country has been gradually under
going change. The growth of winter
wheat has advanced very rapidly and
great irrigation works have been be-
gun. Both Of these elements have
operated to create the convict ion that
t he country would yet be peopled and
would require the services Of tho
roughly equipped railway.
1t is suggest ed that this new inva-
sion of Canadian Pacific territory is in
reprisal for the proposed ext ension OF
| the Crows Nest Pass railway from
Yakt to Spokane. The building OF
this new line, the Spokane and Inter
national, will give he Canadian Pacific
the shortest existing liI.e between st.
Paul and Spokane, the Canadian route
being slightly shorter than that of the
G. N. r., and considerably shorter
than that of the Norl hern Pacific.
Mr.. Robinson came III from The west
and spent only a few hours here. He
went from the city east to Toronto,
and will go on at once 10 New York.

DISCUSS PURE FOOD BILL.
Senators Suggest Number of Minor
Amendments to Measure.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The senate
listened for three or four hours dlring
the day to a discussion of the details
of the pure food bill. A number Of
minor amendments were suggested
but under the agreement to vote on all
amendments the following day none
Of them could be acted on.
Mr.. Rayner presented by request d
reply from the Baltimore and Ohio
railway company TO the charge Of dis
elimination made against it by the
Red Rock Fuel company of West Vir-
ginia. The reply was signed by
Vice President Bond, who declared
there had been no discrimination, that
the Red Rock company was treated the
same as other companies and that all
its REQ tests were impossible because
of lack of equipment.
The senate adjourned a few minutes
after 4 o'eloc. out of respect to the
memory of the late Representative
Castor Of Pennsylvania.

II am in the west in connection with
the proposal to build branch line of
the Great Northern railway into Ed
monton," was the somewhat surpris-
ing statement made by William
Robinson of New York city, to the
Winnipeg Free Press.
"The new line would start either
from Havre, the point of junction of
the branch running south to Great
Falls, Helena and Butte, or from
.Burnham, 10 miles further west arom
Havre or Burnnam,' continued Mr..
Robinson, "it would be built in a
nor,hwesterly direction to the bound
AIRY line, distance of about 10 miles,
and from the boundary to Medicine
From Medicine Hat the line would be
run mort Inward 280 miles to Edmon-
ION. We are just now interested in
securing a charter for this railway,
which is the first step TO be taken"
A study of the existing system of
the Great Northern railway with its
various branches, suggests the easy
probability that this corporation
should desire to find an entrance into
this portion of Canada, says the Free
Press, and giving strong support to
the statement made by Mr.. Robinson.
The company las already built, and

RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS BUSY.
Enarossed ia Negotiations in Regard
to Manchuria.

st. Petersburg, FEB. 21.-Chinese
relations and the negotiations OF Min
lister Pokotiloff with the Peking gov
ernment are engrossing tue attention
of Russian diplomacy even to the ex-
clusion of tue Algeciras conference,
though an unfaVOraDIe conclusion OF
the latter, with all tne pref ldlcial Ell
feet on Russia's situation, is now con-
sidered here we'll witnin the bounds
Of probability. Foreign office officials
make a mystery Of the subject of the
matter OF the negotiations at Peking.
but the Associated Press learns tnat
Minister Pokotiloff is chiefly interest
ed with Mancnuria and the preserVa-
tion of Russia's special rights there.
Apprehension of an indefinite result
are voiced in dispatches from Peking
The negotiations are directed to secur-
ing Russia in her favored position in
Mongolia. These apprehensions are
rather belated in view of the fact,
though this is not generally known,
that two of the easterly provinces of
Mongolia, Tsetsenchan and Tdschentu-
chan, intervening between Peking and
the Trans-Baikalian frontier, general
ly eastward of a line running from the
southern end of Baikal to Peking,
were long since given over to Russo
Chinese bank exploitation, and are
thus actually part OF Russia's sphere
of influence under an agreement the
existence OF which, because it was
made by the bank and not by the gov
ernment, the foreign Office even now
affects to ignore. Russian troops,
consisting of infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery, have been introduced at va
rious important centers "for the pro-
lection Of Russian consuls." These
military "outposts of the empire have
been pushed forward into Chinese ter
ritory, the whole Siberian and Central
Asian frontier chain extending from
Kerulen in Eastern Mongolia, through
Urga, Uiiassdtai, Tarbagatai, Trump
tsi, KuldJa, Kashgar and Yarkand TO

with our best friends, you and the

We need a business combination"

The True Sportsman.

In his latest book, "Pastimes ofan
American Hunter" President Roose-
welt pleads for the preservation OF
wild animal life, and says:
"True sportsmen worthy OF the
name, men who shoot only in season
and in moderation, do no harm what
ever to game The most objection
able OF all game destroyers is, OF
course, the kind OF game butcher
who simply kills for the record OF
slaughter, who leaves deer and ducks
and prairie chickens TO rot after he
has slain them. Such man is
wholly obnoxious; and, indeed, 80 is
any man who shoots for the quantity
OF game killed. To my mind this is
one unfortunate feature OF what Is
otherwise the admirably sportsman
like English spirit Of these matters.
The custom Of shooting great bags
OF deer, grouse, quail and pheasants,
the keen rivalry in making such bags
and their publication in sportsmen's
journals are symptoms Of a spirit
which is uost unhealthy from every
standpoint. 1t Is to be earnestly
hoped that every American hunting
or fishing club will strive to inculcate
among it's own members and in the
minds Of the general public that any
thing like an excessive bag, any de-
struction for the sake OF making a
record, is to be severely reprobated. "
