 Tn his amendment to the alternative writ of mandamus against the Atlan- tic Coast Line to compel that road to perform the duties of common carrier Attorney General Ellis has set up a standard of excellence for the railroad to comply with in keeping its track and roadbed in condition.
 It Is required that the railroad shall use 2,640 sound cross ties to each mile of road and that the angle bars shaiI be good and each joint secured with at least four bolts and nuts and each tie shall be driven with at least two spikes. This amendment was made in compliance with the order of the su- preme Court that if a peremptory writ of mandamus were to issue the writ of the relator should be definite as to what duty should be performed by the railroad

Peonaxe in Florida .

The resolution of Congressman Clark presented in Congress to investigate the action of the Department of Com merce in sending special attorneys to Florida to prosecute the peonage cases follows Quite naturally upon the pub lication of the article in the Cosmo- politan Magazine on the subject.
 This article was referred to by Con- gressman Clark. and was made the subject of an attack upon the Hearst publications. The State press has been vehement in denouncing the ale gations of the article as unwarranted, and suits for libel will be instituted by certain of the individuals designa- ted in the story. Attorney H. l., An derson has been retained by parties in Marion county for this purpose. and if the issue is pressed the matter will assume wide importance. The fact of the matter is that the author of the objectionable story was in Tallahassee last fall gathering da- ta, having been commissioned by Me- Clures Magazine. The article never appeared in McClure's. but was accep- ted by the Cosmopolitan, after having been rejected by the other publica- tion. Attorney Anderson was in New York and at the office of the McClure's when the article was presented for editorial inspection. Upon the counsel of the Florida lawyer the matter was rejected.
 Governor Broward states the Cos, mopolttan article to be boldly untrue in many particulars and grossly over drawn on the whole, but he does not contend that there has been no techni- cal violation of the law in Florida What can we say to the convictions for peonage." he says. ''These parties have been tried and found guilty. q H.. trigue, collision and cruelty are with out foundation. I base judgment upon the. report of special agents who have investigated at my direction"
