Big Rate Case Hearing.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-. November 21.-A
complaint which is said to affect greater
tonnage than any other ever filed with
the interstate commerce commission is
being heard here today by Commissions RS
E. f. Clark and ]. 8. Harlan.
The hearing will occupy three days
here. three in Chicago next week and
more time in other towns affected.
The complaint filed last February by
Kansas City, Omaha and st. joseph
firms. is that, while being practically the
same distance from New York as st. Paul
and Minneapolis, the Missouri river towns
are compelled to pay much higher
freight rate. In other words, the rate to
Missouri river markets is $1.47, made by
adding the local rate, while to st. Paul
and Minneapolis a through rate of $1.l5
Is maintained.
A reduction, therefore, would affect
practically all of the tonnage passing the
Mississippi river.

interest in educational work being done
under state auspices for convicts in New
York's penal institutions. Mr.. He.fer has
introduced among the 1,2OO or more pris-
oners here very complete educational
course. ranking rather above the gram
mar grades and below the high school
courses in the higher limits
complete corps of instructors was OBJ
tained from among the prisoners. The
faculty consists OF nine members, all of
whom are college graduates. The dean of
the faculty Is a Cambridge, England, man,
while one Of the members is an oxford
man. Columbia has three representatives.,
Cornell one and smaller colleges account
for others in their catalogue. Both the
Cambridge and Oxford men are serving
sentences for forgery, crime which
seems to appeal to the educated. Others
of the faculty are serving time for similar
offenses.

flames had to jump from roof. Fiji
teen men caught her in a blanket, but
she burst through, breaking her limbs.
Three alarms brought all the Sfre-fght-

tiring them when the need for them

tiring them when the need for them
ceased.
It is the general belief that almost i'm
mediately upon the restoration of conf
dence and the resumption of cash pay
ments by the banks the amount of cur
rency in circulation will be found to be
larger than will be required by business
conditions. This was the experience in
1894, after the panic-of 1898, and has usu-
ally been the experience in other countries
after crisis. Bank reserves accumulate
at such times as the result of a relaxation
in business activity and diminished de-
nand for money.
Whether such conditions would lead to
the export of gold next spring is sub
Seet which is receiving some, consideration
at the Treasury. but the amount of gold
in the United States is SO enormous, as
pointed out by President Roosevelt In his
recent letter to Secretary Cortelyou, that
return to Europe of a part Of the
amount which has recently been with
drawn, with such disturbing results to
London, Paris and Berlin markets, would
not be considered a source Of danger
Those banks which have been urged by
tue Secretary to take out circulation In or
der to relieve the present situation, with
out regard to profit, would, it is believed
be found ready to surrender their recent
issues as rapidly as they were received
for redemption: This would not interfere
with their holding their per cent certifi-
Gates as an investment until their matur-
1ty a year hence.
Good Statement as to Banks.
In the absence of Controller Ridgely,
who has been called to the bedside of his
father, Deputy Controller Kane is re-
ce.ving daily reports from bank examiners
and others regarding the condition of
national banks; The number of failures
thus far has been less than a dozen,
which compares very favorably with con-
ditions in 1893, when over one hundred
and sixty institutions closed their doors
The fear which has prevailed in some
quarters that the creation Of banks with
capital between $4,000 and $4,000, which
was first authorized in 1900 would prove
a source of weakness to the banking sys-
tenn In period Of strain has not up to
this time been justified by events. The
small banks appear to be holding their
own as well as the larger ones, and the
number of suspensions Of either class has
been a negligible quantity.

ANOTHER LAPLAND FAMINE.
Sweden Taking Steps to Alleviate
the Distress.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, November 21.-
Famine conditions are threatening the
vesternorrland and Vesterbotten districts
of Lapland. where deluging rains have had
disastrous effects on the crops. Official
advices say that the thrashed barley only
weighs "a Kilograms per barrel, instead of
the usual 112; that bread baked there
from is black and almost worthless as
food, and that the milch cows must be
slaughtered to prevent the people from
dying of starvation.
The Swedish cabinet has been petitioned
to remove the duty on grain and other
steps in order to alleviate the threatened
