MELLEN HITS At ROOSEVELT
Criticises Brass Band Meth
0ds of Reform.

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 15.-At the
convention of the National Grange
Charles f. Mellen, president of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad, was the chief speaker. Mr..
Mellen has long been regarded as one
of President Roosevelts close friends,
but on this occasion he used language
severely criticising the president and
his attitude toward corporations,
though he did not call the president
by name.
This country has been having the
time of it's life. We have been chas-
ing the corporations until it has got
on our nerves. We are tired of the
life We have been leading We have
got to rest. When we awake it will
appear to have been costly dream.
When we have mended the smashed
furniture, the broken crockery, we
will lay by for time and accumulate
the wherewithal to repair the waste
of our debauch
we may not think quite so we'll
Of ourselves for some time; our lead
ers will not look quite so large in our
eyes again, but we forget quickly.
"All knowledge is expensive. We
must not demur to paying our bills.
We can now reflect upon the cause
for all our excitement. We can see
that the remedies could otherwise
better have been applied, but we were
impatient-we wanted to do it day
before yesterday in the strong arm,
brass band fashion, and We have done
1t, and we are going to have time
now for contemplation of our work
and consider whether we went about
it in the wisest way or whether our
temper got the better of our iudg-
ment 4"

BUYS RAILS IN RUSSIA.
Hartman to Extend One of His Roads
Into Mexico

New York, Nov. f5.-It is stated in
shipping circles here that two British
freighters have been chartered in
the London market for the purpose of
transporting Russian steel rails for
use in the construction of extensions
of one of the Hartman lines into Mex
leo. The contract for the rails was
awarded TO the Societe Metallurgique
Russo-Belge, which operates steel
works on the Black sea.
The United States Steel Products
Export company of this city, which
concern takes care of the foreign busi-
ness of the United States Steel cor

favorable. The exact figure at which
the contract was let is, however, a
secret. The original contract calls for

THIRD RUSSIAN DUMA
First Session Of New Body Held
at St. Petersburg.
CONSERVATIVES IN CONTROL
Social Democrats Remain in Commit
tee Room During Reading of EN-
peror's Greeting, Otherwise the Pro-
ceedings Are Harmonious.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 15.-The third
Russian parliament was opened in the
Tauride palace, in the presence of
Premier Stolypin and the cabinet, by
NJ. Golubeff, vice president of the
council of the empire. The religious
service preceding the opening was
conducted by the metropolitan Anto-
MUS and large number of bishops
and other high ecclesiastics and was
made the occasion for a great display
of patriotic enthusiasm on the part of
the Conservative and Moderate mem
bers. The emperor was vigorously
cheered.
The city is perfectly quiet. A few
hundred students gathered in the vi
cinity of the palace, but they did not
attempt to make demonstration
A score of mounted patrols on the
quays and in the principal thorough
fares were more than sufficient to
preserve order. The only discordant
note was struck by the Social Demo
Gratis, who remained in the committee
room during the reading of the EN-
peror's greeting and entered the main
hall only when it was necessary to
sign the oath. The. Constitutional
Democrats showed no marked enthusi-
asm in singing the national hymn or
in the cheering, but otherwise they
participated decorously in the pro-
ceedings.
NJ. khomyakoff. Octoberist, was
elected president of the house, receiv.
ing 2S1 votes on the first ballot.
Count Bobrinsky, Conservative, re,
ceived 2 votes and NJ Golovin, Con
stitutional Democrat, ex-president of
the second parliament, l vote.
The election was the result of an
agreement between the Octoberists
and Conservatives, the latter voting
for NJ Khomyakoff in return for a
promise of one of the vice presiden.

BUILDING BADLY DAMAGED
Bombs Exploded in New Schoolhouse

Philadelphia, Nov. 15.-What are

Charles w Henry public school under
construction in Germantown, suburb,
and exploded by means of long fuses.
Great holes were torn in the corridor
walls Of the building, one so large that
horse and cart could be driven

building were also damaged. One of
the supposed bombs was placed near
the stairway at the front entrance.
A second was placed in an electric
switchbox in the first floor corridor
and a third was laid on window sill.
The only theory the contractor and
the police have for the placing of the
bombs is that the attempt to wreck
the building was made by either an
insane man or a vardal
