SEES CURE FOR REVOLUTIONS.
Ambassador From Brazil Declares
Pan-Americanism the Kennedy.

Buffalo, Feb. 22.-Ambassado Joa
quin Nabuco. of Brazil. in an address
before the Liberal club. declared pan
Americanism to be sure cure for
revolutions such as have disturbed
the southern continent.
THE remedy for the state of
things which keeps revolution alive
and in many cases would justify it.,
were it not incapable of creating Or
der and liberty, Is publicity and asso-
citation. foreign capital and foreign
immigration, he said. For pub
llcity and association for foreign cap
ital and immigration, the policy Of
pan-Americanism is a most potent
factor, so much so that pan-Ameri-
canism can be pronounced the certain
cure of the old evils among American
republics. as they all arose from Sc
clusion and exclusiveness."

Interstate Commerce
Commissioners Coming
Will Hear Complaints of Independent
Coal Operators Against Illinois
Central in Paducah
Next Week

vestigation of complaints all over the
United States has made it necessary
for the commission to divide up and
hold simultaneous investigations aC
different points. The investigation
has the direct sanction and endorse
ment Of President Roosevelt. II is
known that the president has taken
notice of the continued complaints
from western Kentucky and the meet
ing of the commission here is an indi-
cation of the Importance Of this end
OF the state as we'll as Of Paducah.
It is probable that the session will
be held in the rooms of the commits
sioners at the Palmer House. The
car shortage in Kentucky will be en-
bodied in the report of the interstate
commerce commission to the presi-
dent.
Some weeks ago a representative
of the executive department of the
federal government quietly visited Pa
ducah and other western Kentucky
towns and cities, gathering evidence
concerning the coal car shortage, and
alleged illegal combinations, which
the Hill Side Coal company and others
charged were operating to the detri-
ment of Independent operators The
agent did not herald his coming and
few people were aware of his pres
ence. He made a report of his find
ing and this information no doubt
will be used by the interstate COM
merce commission in whatever action
it takes regarding the conditions

Interstate commerce commission
ers will be in Paducah next week to
the particular complaints
of car shortage of Kentucky and Illi-
nois coal operators.
The secretary of the interstate COM
merce commission in a communica-
ton notified the coal operators at
mer House, that the COM
mission had decided on holding a
session in Paducah one day next
week, but that the movement of the
commission made it impossible to say
exactly what date at this time.
At that session Of the interstate
commission, the complaints OF the
coal operators between Paducah and
Louisville and between Paducah and
Evansville. will be heard. All the
coal operators have been informed of
the meeting and have been notified to
be on hand with any complaints they
may have. It was definitely announc-
ed that only the Illinois Central
would be Investigated at this partic-
ular session. Complaints against
other roads may be heard later on.

LOUISVILLE INVITES HER

Paducah is to be visited by the

famous little craft is already in the
Mississippi river on her way to Pa

trip. to show the boys of the interior
cities just what fine boat looks like
and something of the life of a Jack
Tar. Louisville is trying to get her
there, but some of the shadows be-
tween this city and the Portland
canal may prevent the trip. Padu-
eahans are sorry that the "Paducah"
was not chosen, and it is believed
the government would have created
more interest by sending a boat
named after one of the cities in this
section; but the "Paducah" seems
to be in demand for ocean duty. The
Wasp entered the Mississippi from
the gulf yesterday, and will stop at
all the cities en- route. exhibiting to
all, who will go aboard, the interior
and discipline of the boat This is
the first bid of this kind for naval re-
cruits ever made by the government,

|qulring a greater number of seamen.
