Finally a Vigorous But Intellectual

WASHINGTON. March IL. = The
postoffice appropriation bill had rough
sailing in the house today. Its prog
rcss was halter at every turn by
amendments upon which there were
lengthy discussions. The attacks were
begun on the section relating to the
pneumatic tube service which was
amended so that the extensions OF
such service should not be confined
to the several cities named in the
bill, but that they should be made
wherever the postmaster-general may
think best, The house was unit on
withholding a portion Of the pay from
the railroads for transportation OF the
mails until a correct system OF weigh
ing should be established, a provision
TO that effect being incorporation in
the measure. Finally vigorous but
Intellectual fight was made on the

ing the expenses Of railway mai

ness OF the department The amend
ment was strongly advocated b,

were in sight when the bill was laic
aside for the day.

i NEW YORK, March l2.-Four
stockholders Of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, all residents OF
Connecticut, have made formal
demand upon the directorate OF the
Union Pacific that an action at law
vii be commenced without delay for
the recovery OF funds alleged to have
been unlawfuliy diverted from the
treasury OF the company. According
to Attorney General Leonard Wald-
stein, who said he represented the
signers OF the demands, copies of the
petition had been sent to the directors
today. Waldstein appeared as one OF
the counsel for Stuyvesant Fish in the
latter's fight for the control Of the
Illinois Central but he said Fish was
not behind the present movement.
Waldstein also explained that the
action was not to be construed as an
attack against Hartman personally
Waldstein said that while but four
stockholders only are signed to the
petition, powerful financial interests
are behind the move. In the petition
are contained the allegations that Ger,
tain officers and directors of thu
Union Pacific have prohted unfairly
through the sales Of the securities te
the Union Pacific. Reference is mad'
to the refusal of Hartman to testif,
before the interstate commerce com
mission as to whether the Illinois
Central stock sold by him and b.
Rogers and Stillman had been ac
quired BY a syndicate or pool for th'
purpose of a sale to the Unioi
Pacific.

TATsU INCIDENT sUBsIDING.

y TOXIC, March 1.-THE demand
of the press and the public of Japan
for aggressive action against China
in connection with the Tatsu affair
is subsiding.
The Asahi, one of the most infiu-
entail newspapers, discusses the mat
ter at length and urges the govern
ment to seriously consider the moral
side Of the case, and not to press
China to extremes. II thinks that
Japan should exercise greater Will
lance concerning the export OF arms
destined for the use Of insurgents
against friendly government.
This view is gaining ground, and It
is understood that the minister of
war, General Terauchi and Vice-Ad-
miral Saito, minister Of marine, are
opposed to aggressive tactics. The
British Minister. Sir Claude Macdon-
aid, has held lengthy conferences
with Foreign Minister Hayashi.

Progress of the Campaign.

Republicans are in very different
mood from that in which they adjourn
ed the Chicago Convention. They
were going to have walk-over. All
they wanted was that Bryan should be
nominated. They had beaten him
twice, and they knew just how to do
the trick. Of course he'd get the
Solid South; any Democratic candi-
date would do that. But the East
Bryan couldn't touch it with ten-foot
pole. And the West-why, the West
was bowling itself hoarse for Roose
welt and his policies, and Taft was
pledged to continue them; he was
Roosevelts man Friday, and he was as
good as elected by the votes of every
State north of Mason and Dixon's line,
and some of the Republicans thought
Taft might break into the South.
Well, Bryan was nominated. In
stead of falling to pieces, the Demo-
cratic party is found to be more united
and aggressive than it has been since
1892. The dollar, on which the Re-
publicans won, is not an issue. But
the corporations are an issue; the in
fuence Of wealth upon politics is an
issue, and on these issues Bryan not
only has all of his party with him but
he has a good deal of the Republican
party. For seven years Roosevelt has
been preparing the country for Bryan,
and the country shows disposition
to take the original Jacobs" instead
of the Presidents pupil and heir.
The conference Of Republican lead
ers has just broken up with the con-
viction that there must be the best
fight they can make all through the
West. They admit that California and
Colorado are doubtful. Utah and Ne
vada are subject to the same influ-
ences as California and Colorado.
Cummins has made Iowa doubtful.
LaFollette has made Wisconsin doubt
full. Kern's nomination has made In
diana doubtful-to the Republicans;
it is nearly safe for the Democrats.
Our esteemed Republican contempo-
rary The Press recognizes Oregon as
doubtful. We do not claim that Ohio
is doubtful, but it isn't long since it
elected Democratic Governor by a
large majority. Cleveland got one
electoral vote and came within less
than two thousand of getting all the
rest. The Foraker fight is getting
more serious. In two weeks the Re-
publican tone has changed remark
