Cuts Mail Rates.

To prevent the transcontinental mail
being transferred to the Rock Island
railway system, the Burlington rail
road has notified the postoffice depart
ment that it will cut it's rates for this
service about Z per cent, equal to
about $4,000 per annum.
This is the first time a railroad has
offered to cut the rate fixed by act of
congress for mail service. The Bur-
lingtons proposition caused amaze
ment in railway circles in view of the
bills which have been introduced in
congress to lessen the pay to railroads
for mail service.
The fear was expressed by officials
of other railroads that the Burlington's
action might lead to a rate war be-
tween the railroads for mail traffic be-
tween al competitive points and might
also be regarded by congress as the
best evidence that the price paid by
the government for the transportation
has been too high.

SWette nham's Letter.

A London cablegram to the World
says the explanation of Sir Alexander
Swettenham, governor of Jamaica, as
to his course regarding the landing of
marines by the American admiral at
Kingston, will be published officially
soon, and will cause the incident to
enter new, awkward and even SEN
sational phase.
The cablegram says Swettenham
charges that Davis landed armed men
when only working force was as
scented to, and that a second force was
landed to quell the prison rising with
out any authority at all.
1t is stated that Swettenham tries
to excuse his letters to Davis but
shows throughout bitter anti-Ameri-
can spirit. He seems to want to pro-
woke Davis to reply The dispatch
says many of the British Jingoes,
when this explanation is given out,
will flop" to Swettenham's side Of
the argument, and that the question
is far from being closed.

A Political Revolution.

The reassembling of parliament
arouses intense interest, as the gov
eminent intends to Immediately inau-
gurate measures to check the power
of the house of lords, making it sub
ordinate to the will of the people as
represented by the house of commons.
This is nothing less than revolu-
ton in the present constitutional
methods and foreshadows bitter
contest between the two houses, with
the government already prepared for
a dissolution and an appeal to the
country on the necessity Of curbing
the power representing the aristoc-
racy, in the interest of the demo
cracy.
Recent councils of the ministers
have determined the main lines of the
governments action. which is expect
ed to begin with the introduction Of a
resolution laying down the house Of
commons inalienable rights. A sim
liar historic resolution was adopted
in the seventeenth century, on which
the rights of the commons to control
money matters were based. This will
be merely preliminary to series of
measures by which Premier Campbell
Bannerman proposes to frame clear
issue against the lords and then ap-
peal to the people on 1t.
The government determination to
make the fight now is due to the de-
feat Of the education bill by the up
per house. and the prospective defeat
of all other features of the existing
ministerial program.

ALARMING.

BY far the most alarming situation
ever arising in the coal region inPenn
sylvania has been brought to light
with the discovery that forty military
companies of union miners have been
organized and are in a position to
combat with the soldiery of the state
and national governments. The New
York Herald says: They are armed
with 40 cafiber rifles, and several OF
them are provided with uniforms of
the same pattern and color as worn
by the infantry of the regular army.
The coal operators fear that strike
would precipitate a civil war, with or
ganized labor, uniformed and armed,
arrayed against the military arm OF
the Keystone state.
These facts are borne out in re-
port made to the war department by
Capt. Henry II. Whitney, who investi-
gated and says
1.-THE Ninth and Thirteenth infantry,
p. n. g., located in the home of union
ism, are confronted by the intense an
tagonism of the independent military
and so-called patriotic organizations,
there now being some 81 of these COM
panies in the Scranton-W ilkesbatre
district.
"They are gradually and quietly ac-
quiring arms and their active hostility
to the national guards constitutes a
serious menace to the state authority
and to law and order"
The report startled the military
circles in Washington and further In
vestigation will be made. It is be-
lieved President Roosevelt will foresee
the possibility of conflict and take
steps to avert it, The foreign miners
hate the state militia as an enemy to
labor.

Can They Be Foreto,d?

The Jamaica calamity has revived
he discussion as to whether earth
Quakes can be foretold, and scientists
do not seem to be able to reach any
conclusive opinion on the subject.
Some Of them are certain that there
are phenomena which indicate such
disturbances but others have their
doubts. There have been some curl
gist having on Saturday predicted
that there would soon be two earth
quake shocks in America, and double
less he will claim the Jamaica catas-
trophe and the tremor said to have
been felt in Pennsylvania as fulfill
ment. But it will be observed that he
no one knows on what his calculation
was based. 1t may have been, and in
the minds of many who want proof
and not mere assertion was, nothing
but guesswork, much after the gen.
ordinations OF weather prophets"
who fool the credulous by pretensiols
to knowledge which when analysed
prove to be the shallowest of charla-
tanry. At all events, says the Troy
Times, the world at large is not yet
satisfied that any reliable method of
foretelling earthquakes has been
found. Authoritative warnings of
such events might be the means of
saving many lives, even if damage to
property could not be averted.

Four-Year Fiuht.

After staving off jail for four years,
William Peck, of Montague, Muske--
gon county, is prisoner with Sheriff
Ginger as he is awaiting sentence
after having been convicted of statu-
tory larceny. Peck's case is one with
out parallel in the annals of the
Michigan courts. In 1903 he was ar
rested and twice his case has been
heard in the local circuit court and
three times before the Michigan SUI
preme court. So doubtful were the
supreme justices that at the first sit
ting of the second hearing the judges
couldn'toagree and they created pre-
cedent by ordering the case reargued.
Peck's attorney, William j. Turner,
has kept his man from tasting Jail
fare until now, but even at the last
moment an appeal will be made t
the United States supreme court.

Met a Tragic Death.

A habit Of holding lighted match
over the vent of a gasoline tank, from
which the highly inflammable fluid
had just been emptied, leaving guam
tity of gas which would burn
vivid blue flame for few minutes,
finally caused the tragic death Of
Frank Rock, in the village of Yries.
land. ~
Frank was employed in his fathers
store, and this frequent feat of light
ing the gas in the empty tanks seemed
to hold a fascination to him. He had
often been cautioned, but became fear
less.
But the fatal moment came Wednes-
day afternoon when Frank held the
match once too often. There was more
gasoline in the tank than he thought.
There came flash, roar, as the top
of the tank blew off and struck the
boy, crushing his head and killing him.

Congo Reform.
G. A. LIsK, Publisher

Prospects are encouraging for re-
administration of affairs in the Congo
independent State. The natives in
that vast equatorial region have been
treated with an incredible inhumanity.
They have been forced to labor for
tho companies that deal in rubber;
cannibals have been employed as
guards over the rubber gatherers; lit
tie children have been bound out to
labor for long terms of years; the adj
ministration III justice has been so
bad that the name of the place where
the chief courts sit is regarded as
word OF Ill omen. Men, women and
children have been mutiiated and
beaten and otherwise maltreated
The Congo Independent State is con-
trolled at present by the king OF the
Belgians. In 1889 the king made
will bequeathing TO Belgium his rights
In the country and in 1890 Belgium
made an agreement by which it Sc
cured power to annex the territory
after ten years. Reform, explains
Youths Companion, is likely to come
through the assumption by the Bel
gian parliament of its powers under
this agreement. The chamber of rep
resentatives voted last month to an
mex the territory, and the senate may
have approved the plan before this pa
per is in the hands of its readers.
When this is done, irresponsible per-
sonal government will cease. The
king, who has been an autocrat in the
Congo, will have no more power there
than he has in Belgium. Responsible
fly for the government will rest with
parliament, and the public sentiment
of the world which has forced the par
lament to take up the matter, will
compel Il to treat the 100000 900
blacks as human beings.

Every year in the Rumai country,
India, a marriage lottery-a sort of
sweethearts sweeps held. The
names Of all the manageable girls
and of the young men of the circle
who want to get married are written
on slips Of paper and thrown into
separate earthern pots. From these
they are drawn against one another
by the local wise man. This simply
determines the fact that the Rumai
girl has come out and is ready to be
married, and the youth whose name is
drawn against hers thereby obtains a
particular letter of introduction, with
authority to make love Immediately
with what ardor and success he is
capable of.

A distinguished professor has de-
clared that the so-called lazy boy is
only a boy of too strong individuality
to endure the conventional school rou-
tine which the grown-up thinks is good
for him. 1t used to be a consoling
thing to some of us who were not
quite the best boy in the class to read
of one and another great man whose
stupidity in school gave no hint of his
future greatness. Any lazy boy who
is perfectly sure that he has a great
Individuality and that he is going to
appear some time in biographies may
refuse to be classed with the lazy
boys. All other lazy boys are just
lazy.

THE 500 CANAL.

The attempt of the United States to
secure possession of islands Nos. ] and
2 in the straits of st. Mary at Sault
Ste. Marie, by suit to quiet title, has
failed, a decision of the United States
circuit court of appeals, announced
sustaining the district court OF west
ern Michigan in favor of the Chandler
Dunbar Water Co.
The islands are in the line of the
boundary between the United States
and Canada, and combined have an
area of only two acres, but improve
ments valued at 100000 have been
made by the water company which
claimed to have a good title from the
government since 1888. The court
held that the government had given
good title in the first place, and fur
Their that it was wrong to attempt
to regain possession after so many
years.
Because of the location Of thc.
islands ON the boundary line and the
treaty requirements, the United States
must keep that line clear, it is under
stood that international complications
may arise as a result of this decision.
John II. Golf, attorney for the
Chandler-Dunbar Water Power Co.,
says that this decision will not delay,
but, on the contrary, will expedite the
building of new 500 lock. He says
the ChandlerDunbar Co. has always
stood ready to donate mainland strip
Of land for canal and lock, but for
some reason the government wished
to have the full question of title and
chara cter Of the 500 stream settled.
The government set. up that the 500
was strait in which there were no
riparian rights, and the Chandler-Dun-
bar Co. argued that it was river In
which riparian rights held BY the
decision it is held that the stream Is
a river.
