ACCUSED GENERAL ARMED WITH
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM
THE EMPEROR.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 1f.-General
Stoessel is in receipt Of kilograms
from Itkutsk and Vladivostok for 81
berian regiments, formerly under his
command, declaring their solidarity
General Kuropatkin said to General
Stoessel yesterday:
Il trust it will end well"
1t is generally understood that
Stoessel Is in possession of a weighty
weapon in the shape Of a telegram
received by him before the surren
der of Port Arthur, In which the EN-
peror said:
Don't push the defense to extreln
ities," meaning by this to spare the
lives of Russian soldiers when their
power Of resistance was exhausted
as the emperor feared the Japanese
might repeat the feat Of a former
capture of a fortress, when they put
to death 100000 Chinese.

Ger To smother over an investigation
on the part OF any other power, the
king sent commission there and al
though this commission was practic-
ally bought by the king it neverthe-
less made a report asking for re-
forms. Excessive taxation was found,
appropriation of land by those having
no right TO it was mentioned, as were
the terrible lives lead by the soldiers.
In spite of laws passed against the
taking OF land from the owners, 750,-
900 square miles We're confiscated,
leaving the natives practically moth
ing
All that was left were the plots
where the houses stood and the gar
dens for the women. Their garden
products We're taxed. They were
obliged to carry their produce, many
of them, As miles to a market, and
then forced to sell for practically moth.
ing. This journey was compulsory
once every ten days. III they haven't
the produce that is required, they are
forced TO buy it in the open market
at prices which are two and threv.
times as high as they receive. The
state claims everything The natives
cannot go from one district to an
other. If they attempt to they are
bound hand and foot and shot by the
black soldiers"
The speaker then rehearsed a re.
Voting spectacle viewed by him, OF
flnding several of the natives dead
their hands cut off at the wrists, this
being done in some cases even before
the victims were dead. He then told
of finding small children with their
hands cut off. When complaint wa:
made by the missionaries to the of
fcers in charge of the troops, they
were told it was none of their bust
ness. He said that great changes
had taken place on the western
coast, where colonies had been es.
tablished by other powers. Schools
hospitals and other public buildings
have been established and where q
few years ago there were nothing but
wildcat villages, now there were
beautiful cities and excellent roads.

UPERINTENDENT BENNETT AZ.
PEARS BEFORE STATE BOARD.
HIGH CHARGE FOR BOOKS
Much Cheaper to ship Articles Of
Food Than Copies Of Acts Of the
Legislature - Representatives OF
Companies Show That Books Could
Not Be Transported for Less.
Madison. Dec. II.

~hfuASohs ISC~ IL
G. c. Bennett, state superintendent
of public property, was before the
railroad commission yesterday as com
planning witness against the American
Express company in regard to the
alleged excessive and unreasonable
rate charged for carrying books. MI.
Bennett said that it was part OF hif
official duty to ship separate volumes
of the acts of the Legislature, called
session laws, and that for each huoF
wherever sent, he had to pay for tbs
state "a cents, which he thought was
too much, particularly when compared
with the rates charged on other com
modihes.
He cited the fact that so pounds OF
apples could be shipped from Madi
son to Platteville for "a cents, while
one book weighing 415 pounds would
De charged as much for the same trip
He compared rates on egg shipments
showing that they We're decidedly low
er than the rate on books. A crate of
eggs could be shipped from Sparta to
Madison, weighing 53 pounds and
$3.50 in value, for Al cents, while the
az pound book, worth only rs cents,
cost "a cents to send from Madison to
Sparta Moreover, the empty case
for the eggs could be returned Over
the same route for five cents
Representatives of the express
company showed that the express rate
for books was two cents less than
the mail rate, that it was the cheap
est means of book transportation In
the country, and the rates on eggs
were low, too low, because they were
based on the general fact that ali
necessaries of life and foodstuffs are
favored with low rates.

FUNSTON To TAKE
CHARGE Of TROOPS

Goldfeld, New, Dec. 11.-General
Funston will come to Goldfeld tomor-

the situation. 1t is probable that
more troops will be brought here.
Martial law has not yet been de-
clared.
Governor Sparks arrived yesterday
noon. He denies that an effort has
been made to induce him to ask for
the recall of the troops, and says
they will remain here until there is
no possibility OF trouble.
Members CT the rescuing party
stated last night that The average
condition of the bodies recovered is
bad, the heads being blown off, arms
and legs broken and twisted and fine
pieces of coal being imbedded in the
bodies showing the terrific force OF
the explosion.
San Francisco, Dec. 11.-General
Funston last night said he would
leave today with two or three staff
officers for Goldfield for the purpose
of looking over the situation. He
wished it made plain that he was not
going there to take command OF the
troops or in any way to supersede
Colonel Reynolds. Neither il 1t nis
intention to order additional troops
there. Funston expects to spend only
| two or three days in Gildfield.

the present crisis. The underlying
cause of the whole disaster was.
first, too much money in speculation,
and, second, too much money in IN
profitable enterprises.
"a currency like that in Canada or
Germany, which increases or de-
creases In volume, according to pub
lie needs, is the need Of this country.
"a policy that convinces investors
that railway securities would not
prove safe investments is wrong. The
day may come soon when it win be
found expedient for the government
to encourage railroads in their COM
mercial development instead of re-
tarding them"
