An Objectionable Order

Jackson, Miss, June 26.-(Special. 1.-The railroad commission has adopted the Bradley order requiring all railroads in the state to sell tiokets good to any sta ton on any other railroad in the state, and to carry baggage the same as if on a continuous haul. This is one of the most important orders adopted by the commission since it's existence, and the chances are that the railroads will fight it into the last ditch. It will make the hand ling of their passenger business much more expensive, and require the employ ment of more expert bookeepers to keep up with the business between the other roads of the state.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE sun.
ST. PETERSBURG. April ll.-There are
grave reasons for believing that the Gov
ernment is planning an armed occupation
Of Finland and a block ade Of the coast
to prevent the landing Of arms. II the
plan is carried out it is expected that
Sweden. which possesses some islands
fringing the shores Of Finland, will remain
neutral, giving Russia a free hand
Possibly the design Is intended to be
executed only in the event OF the Dums
being dissolved.
LONDON, April PA despatch from st d.
Petersburg says that conditions in Finland
have caused the Government anxiety for
some time. 1t is known that large qusnti-
ties OF arms have been imported there,
and the Government believes that a revO-
lutionary militia is being formed secretly.
The new Diet, elected by universal, includ-
ing woman suffrage, is overwhelmingly
Socialist.
The existence OF such frankly radical
people under Russian rule is not agreea BILE

influence UNIV holeeome. There are un-
dOubtedly some person ms who consider that
Finland ought 70 be the base Of Russian

rule, do not wish to interfere in Russian

BERLIN, April 1.-THE Post, editorially
celebrating the view lately set forth by
several German publioists, contends that
Germany's interests would be best served
If the naval power Of the United States
should remain intact. IL says that il ia PAL
should cripple the American navy in a
war. for which the United States is not
prepared. Great Britain would not consider
the worlds peace or civilization but would
imperatively demand the destruction Of the
German feet.
The Post says it is solely through fear Of
America that England has hitherto refrained
from putting this design into execution. IL
is we'll known and fully appreciated in the
United States that the German feet ia Of
decisive importance to that country. The
paper says in conclusion:
Let a dual alliance between Germany
and America be opposed by the dual alli-
anoe between England and Japan and the
worlds peace will be assured without the
Hague conference.
The Post's article is called forth by the
anxiety OF it and other Conservative papers
concerning Great Britain's alliance mania"
which. they say. is directed at the isolation
Of Germany. King Edwards visit TO Carta-
gena has famed the fame. His restless
