I'm advocating the two cent
passenger rate per mile on the
railroads we believe that the
increased travel would more
than compensate the railroads
aud at the same time reduce
the cost to the travelling public.
The two cent rate went into
effect in Virginia on October
the first and the report of the
Chesapeake and Ohio road
shows that the net earnings of
the railroad for October was
one hundred and eighty one
thousand three hundred and
eighteen dollars greater than i'm
October nineteen and six. The
Southern railroad reports net
increase in operating income Of
Eft thousand four hundred
az hirty. nine dollars greater
t i'm October nineteen and
.s.S.
The report OF the Norfolk and
Western railroad for October
shows an increase in passenger
business TO ninety three thou
sand eight hundred and twenty
seven dollars and fifty cents
over nineteen and six, and a
net earning increase of fifty
two thousand three hundred
ana four dollars and five cents
for that month.
The increase in freight bust
ness for October over October
nineteen and six reaches the
big sum Of four hundred aud
Tvs enty-six thousand eight hun
dred and forty-six dollars and
seven cents, which is certainly
a fine gain.
These three well managed
and productive lines have APP.

Teachers in Session.

Los Angeles, July 9.-"World Peace"
was the rallying cry at the opening
session of the fftieth annual conven-
ton of the National Educational asso-
citation. The 1900 delegates listened
intently 10 the address of the presi-
dent. Nathan c. Schaeffer, on the sub
ject of How Can the Schools Aid in
the Peace Movement" and applauded
vigorously his strong ~denunciation OF
war. AT its conclusion the convention
received and referred to the commit.
tee on resolutions a strongly worded
resolution tavoring international arbi'
t"ration. disarmament and other inter
national reforms. TWO sections OF the
resolution were cabled to the Amer
lean delegates at The Hague.

VICTORY FOR GRAIN MEN
Proportional Rate, Dates Back to the
origin Of Shipment.

Omaha, July 9.-The Omaha Grain
exchange is proclaiming a victory over
the railroads on a point of contention
regarding the application of the new
proportional rates on grain out OF
Omaha. A letter just received from
Franklin X. Lane OF the interstate
commerce commission is construed as
meaning that the exchange is in the
right. The railroads must now either
yield or be ~enjoined by the exchange.
An advance in proportionals went
into effect July l.. On that date
there was in Omaha a large quantity
CT grain which had arrived from Ne
braska points and also a large guam
Iity of grain in transit from Nebraska
points to Omaha, all destined to points
east. The railroads refused to allow
this grain TO move out Of Omaha un-
der the old pro%portionals. while the
exchange commended it ought to do so.

TELEGRAPH TRUST? NONSENSE!
Mackay Says the Postal and Western

New York, July 10.-Clarence
Mackay, president of the Postal Telc-

that "all this talk about the Western
Union Telegraph company and the
Postal Telegraph and Gable company
working in harmony is nonsense
Mr.. Mackay said: IF two compa-
MES w competed in the United
States, these two telegraph companies
are competing and always have been.
At times the competition is even fierce

Oakland, Cal, July 10.-Following
the refusal of Assistant General Su.
p%erintendent |. n. Miller of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, to
meet a committee of the striking OPP
orators, President Small of the teleg-
raphers' union will leave today for the
cast. Indications are hat the teleg-
raphers' strike will spread and that
the next walk ont of operators will &C.
cur in some large eastern center, prob
ably Chicago.
Mr.. Miller refused to let the com.
mittee enter his Office, but sent them
a note stating that he would meet
them as individuals If they sought re-
instatement, but would meet no union
man as such.
President Small of the ~telegraphers,
much disappointed at the failure of a
peace conference, issued the following
statement:
II feel absolved from further re-
sponsibility inasmuch as | have made
every effort, before and after the
strike occurred, to bring about a con-
ference. In the future we will have
to pay less attention to the feelings
of the opposition and public opinion
and carry on our fight with more de
termination and with the II object
in view of crippling the enemy until
they are willing to meet us in a peace
conference. Future moves will be
forcible and decisive"
President Small sent a telegram to
| President Roosevelt claiming that
every honorable means had been ex-
| hausted to secure an adjustment and
that he had no hope OF a settlement
| without an extensive strike, that in an
swer to the demands of the telegra-
piers throughout the country that the
strike be made general, he would
leave for Chicago.
President Small telegraphed Ma
tional Secretary Russell of Chicago to
wire Commissioner Neill that if he
desired to see him he would be in
| Chicago Sunday. President Small also
sent a telegram to II. b. Perham of
T! st. Louis, president of the Order of
Railroad photographers, to meet him
next Sunday in Chicago to confer with
him.

there was such an restrained clatter
OF applause that the balliff pounding
for order could not be heard.
Half a dozen times Judge Dunno
was interrupted by Schmitz, who pro.
tested in strong words against the de.
livery of a lecture" insteatd of the
pronouncement Of judgment. He ac-
cused the court of unnecessarily hui
initiating him and giving opportunity
for further humiliation by the report.

Once, replying to the prisoner. Judge
Dunno said:
Such brazen effrontery was proba-

and 1t was the duty of the court to
bear 1t in patience"
At another time Attorney Metson of
the defense i%nterposed a vigorous OBJ.
lection in support of his client Ito the

Judge DUNES reply was that Mr..
Nelson, instead Of interrupting the
proceedings, ought to be given a day

had attempted to tamper with the
