NIPPED IN NICK OF Time
Black Sea Mutineers Ready to
B0mhard Russian Towns.

Odessa, June 1S-It now appears
that the mutiny here of the Black sea
fleet. consisting of eight battleships,
eight cruisers and a division Of tor
pedo boats, whose crews in all num-
Der 5000 men, was discovered just in
time to prevent the planned lombard
ment of Odessa and the Caucasian
coast towns.
The fleet came here June IL for
practice and had just entered Odessa
bay when the commanding officer, Ad-
miral Tzftsinky, on board the flagship
Rostislav, seeing that the orders we're
not promptly obeyed and knowing Of
the mutinous spirit animating the
crews, suddenly signalled an order to
dismantle the guns and head back to
Sebastopol, where, after troops had
been sent on board the warships, sew
eral hundred sailors were disembarked
and imprisoned.

HIS STAY HERE VERY BRIEF
Japanese Ambassador Aoki Is
to Be Recalled.

Washington, June 1S.-A private ca
blegram was received here stating that
the Marquis Ito and the elder states
men Of Japan held conference with
Foreign Minister Hayashi in Toxic
when, at the urgent request Of the
marquis, it was decided to recall Wis
count Aoki, the Japanese ambassador
to this country.
The statement was made in an au-
thoritative quarter that the Marquis
Ito and Ambassador AOki have not
been on friendly terms for many years.
The officials Of the Japanese en-
bassy are ignoring the report from
Toxic of the reported recall of Wis.,
count Aolzi, the ambassador to Wash
ington. They say they have no infor-
nation on the subject and discredit
the report. The ambassador would
not discuss the subject, pleading in
disposition.
Ambassador Viscount Siuzo Aoki
came to Washington May 8, 1906, so
that his services we're very brief even
for Japanese diplomatic agent,
whose official lives have been notably
short in Washington compared with
those of European ambassadors and
ministers. His official relations here
have been pleasant from the begin
ming. But looking backward over his
record it will be found that no large
accomplishments can be set down to
his credit SO far as the facts are re-
vealed in the published correspond
ence CT the state department here.

Of 2-Cent Law.

Of 2-Cent Law.
Kansas City, June 18.-After Judge
Mcpherson had rendered his decision
in the maximum freight and 2-cent

the state agreed to statement Of
facts as follows:
''That the railways application for
temporary injunction as to the max
imum freight laws of 1907is sustained
and until further order of court the
state officials are enjoined from at
tempting to recover any penalty or
seeking to enforce that law.
GAS to the 2-cent rate act the order
heretofore entered by the court en-
joining the railways from obeying that
law shall remain in effect until June
19 next at a. M, at which time the
rates fixed by said act shall be put
and kept in force for three months

tanning more definitely the extent that

OPERATORS TALK STRIKE.
Polite Notice Served on Telegraph
Companies.


Chicago, June 19.-Strike talk was
about the only thing heard at a mass
meeting of the Chicago Commercial
Telegraphers' union. Four hundred
telegraphers attended the meeting, in
Guiding more than 100 women oper-
ators.
The union did not vote to strike, but
it did the next thing to it in the alb.
sence of full authority. It passed a
resolution declaring it the sense of the
local that National President Samuel
J. Small of the Telegraphers' union
serve ten days notice on the Western
Union officials in New York that they
must meet the employees committee
for the discussion and adjustment Of
grievances cor bear the responsibility
for interference with public business
which would follow action that will be
incumbent upon this organization
this being a polite way of threatening
a strike. 4
The girl operators were much more
anxious to strike than the men. They
said that if the Western Union and
the Postal Telegraph companies ex-
pected them to take the places Of the
men operators they would be badly
fooled. They wanted the ten days
notice reduced to five days.
The grievance of the women was
they were not paid more than SIT
anywhere, though they do the work OF
men, and in many cases only receive
$18 to $40 month.

initiative belonged to Europe and not
to America.
M. Nelidoff's depressing utterances
at the opening of the peace confer
ence, coupled with the unfortunate
dissolution of the duma at the very
moment the conference had Assem-.
bled, has produced expressions of re-
greet that President Roosevelt yielded
the initiative of the second conference
to Emperor Nicholas. The correspond
ent of the Associated Press has heard
dozens of delegates specializing on
the differences in effect which would
have been produced had the keynote
been sounded by a country inspired by
democratic tendencies. AS matters
now stand neither England nor any of
her Continental friends are ready to
move, lest the mere suggestion of de-
batting the question of limitation of
ornaments inject spirit Of discord
which would endanger the usefulness
achievable and possibly break up the
conference under circumstances which
you'd postpone another conference In
definitely. Gsimly, somewhat discon-
solately therefore, the preparations
for the real work are proceeding.

Real Estate Owner Here.

John Edmond of Knoxville, Ten
nesee, arrived in the city Saturday
evening to look after his extensive
land interests in BeItrami, Hubbard
and Cass counties. Mr.. Edmond
has been a real estate holder here
for the past five years and speaks
of the growth of Bemidji as being
remarkable. 1T is particularly
noticeable since my visit here last
summer. The improvements being
made on your streets, the sewerage,
and the vast amount of cement walks
and new and substantial brick
buildings being erected, meets the
approval of the visitors and is sure
to bring moneyed men here and
they will come here to stay and to
invest" Mr.. Edmonds intends
spending the greatest part of the
summer here.

GIVE RATE A TRIAL
Judge McPherson's View Of Mis-
souri, TWO=Cent Fare Law.
MAINTAINS HIS JURISDICTION
Insists Federal Courts Have the Right
to Pass on All Questions Relating
to Interstate Commerce Despite Ac-
ton of State Legislatures.

Kansas City, June 1S.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson of Red Oak, Ia, in the
United States district court here,
handed down an opinion growing out
Of the conflict between the circuit
courts at Kansas City and st. Louis
and the federal courts over the en-
forcement of the Missouri maximum
freight and 2-cent passenger laws.
Judge Mcpherson retains and main
;tains jurisdiction to adjudicate the
validity of the freight and passenger
laws of Missouri, including the
amendatory freight laws of 1907.
Whether the temporary injunction
asked for by the Missouri railways to
restrain the state officials from en-
forcing these statutes shall be issued
and If issued whether it shall enjoin
the enforcement Of either the passen.
ger or the freight laws, one or both,
will, the court says, be considered a
week or more hence. Judge McPher.
son said that his present view is that
the 2-cent law should be put in force
until it can be ascertained by actual
experience whether 2 cents would be
!remunerative. In the course Of his
decision Judge Mcpherson says:
Question of State Rights.
"rhat the states have the right to
manage their own local affairs will
ever be maintained, but it is too late
to talk about states debating to the
government Or to riding down its
courts. This is nation. Interstate
commerce will not be interfered with
lby any state, because for that almost
alone we adopted our Constitution.
The commerce clause will always be
upheld and the rights of the citizen,
including corporations, will ever be
protected in their just rights under
the fourteenth amendment. These
are national questions and the SUI
preme court will hold the scales Of
justice on the evidence before it.
i 81 do not know, Of course, and do
not state that the state legislature has
wronged the railways. That is the
case on it's merits. But the railways
say they are being wronged and they
must have hearing on the evidence
and that evidence carried with the
record to the supreme court. And if
upon the evidence they are being COM
PEELED to transact business at a loss
no one need doubt the supreme court
will nullify the statute. If the rates
offered are remunerative the statutes
will be upheld"

DR.. Johnson called one morning on
Benjamin West to converse with him
on American affairs. After some time
Mr.. West said that he had a young
American Colbert Stuart) living with
him, from whom he might derive some
information, and introduced Stuart.
The conversation continued (stuart be-
ing thus invited to take part in it),
when the doctor observed to Mr.. West
that the young man spoke very good
English and, turning to Stuart, rudely
asked him where he had learned it.
Stuart very promptly replied: "Sir,
can better tell you where I did not
learn it. 1t was not from youradiction-
ary."
