Of the management of his great rail

ia bitter fashion on Senator Cullom's
plan to regulate Harriman's Chicago
& Alton road. He said:
"Eighc years ago we found a great
road in Cullom's great state in a NOR
ibund condition. We bought it, infused
cur millions and the life of a dynamic
system into 1t. Our reward for build
ing up the line has been the cOndemna-
ton of men like Senator Cullom. II we
had remained, as he thinks we should
have done, inert and Indifferent, our
stock would have shrunk 80 per cent.
On the contrary, we extended the road,
perfected it's ramifications and sup
piled the state with another stimulus
for it's activity. | think Cullom in

the aim of inventors for years. "By
it," he said, 1T is possible to send
an armor piercing shell through ar
NOR and cause it to explode at exact
ly the distance behind the armor des
ignated by the gunner. 1t will not
matter whether the armor is one inch
or Il inches in thickness"
BY the new safety decorating fuse,
Mr.. Maxim said, he could tell the
diners about a new smokeless pow
der, stabilize, which he had just be-
gun to manufacture, but which is still
in the process of experimentation.
This new weapon of warfare would
wipe out he was convinced, many ele-
ments of the danger attaching to the
Use Of smOkeless powder.
The speaker prefaced his talk about
high explosives with a talk on the At

warfare" he said, makes the unpre-
pared Macon the only inviting bait.
Poor old China is good sample of

bluff. Thanks TO England, she does
not call the bluff.
Now as a matter of fact, on our
Pacific coast we are absolutely de-
fenseless. Tie Japanese have 100000

Mgr. Lualdi, archbishop of Palermo;
Mgr. Mercer archbishop of Malines,

No Relief From Serious Situation Is

sented that it was feared the Pierson
district would be gone before morning.
Communication was cut of with Free.
Port and Walnut Grove, and it is
thought that there is a change for the
worse all the way from Freeport to
Sherman island. Everywhere the farm
ers are fighting against the highest
water ever known, and the prospect is
for the complete inundation of the
island country.
