Locked Up.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. az
The strength of the United States
treasury at the present time was
commented on in the house today by
Mr.. Boutell of Illinois. He said he
had just been informed by Treasur-
er Treat that for the first time the
gold coin and bullion in the United
States had reached and passed the
sum of 81 .OOO, goo. 600. IAN event SO
extraordinary" he said. that it will
be chronicIed and commented upon
with surprise and amazement In
every financial center in the world;
an event which all citizens OF our
republic. without regard to party af-
filiation. may well contemplate with
satisfaction and pride"
The announcement OF Mr.. Boutell
was greeted with applause.

ports have come through Washing
ing and other usually well-Informed
sources from time to time that the
interstate commerce commission has
completed the draft OF its opinion in
the Spokane rate case and that an
order will soon be entered command
ing the Hill and Hartman lines TO
establish reasonable and just sys-
tenn OF interstate freight rates to and
from Spokane, but 20 far there has
been nothing offcial to confirm these
rumors.
Manufacturers, jobbers. shippers
and the consumers In general here
believe, however. that when the COM
mission hands down It's decision In
this much discussed litigation IL win
therein issue an order prohibiting
the railroads from charging a greater
rate for the shorter haul than for
the longer one, and that in no event
will the rates be greater to and from
Spokane than those to cities on
Puget sound and the Pacific coast.
The Spokane case. which was the
first instituted under the congreasion-
al act. effective January 1, 1907. Is
one in which every inland city I'm the
United States Is interested. and the
outcome will be OF vital Importance
to every community where the So
called water competition does not
exist. hence It may be said that the
petitioners are lighting the battles
OF the interior cities so far rs dls-
examinations and unlawful freight
rates by the railroads are concerned.
Managers OF the transcontinentaI
roads operating through the Spokane
country. which embraces 10000
square miles in eastern Washington,
northern Idaho, western Montana.
northeastern Oregon and southeast
ern British Columbia. admit without
hesitaney that the rates from points
east to Spokane are greater than
they are 10 Portland. Seattle and Ia
coma, also that some kinds Of freight
can be shipped from eastern points
to Pacific coast cities and then back
to Montana points At less rates than
would be charged II they were
shipped TO Spokane and then back to
the same points In Montana, but they
say this condition exists because OF
water competition.
However. during the hearing At
Portland a year ago uneOntroyertible
evidence was offered by the petition
ers. showing that not only were
there glazing discrimination In class
and other rates. but the testimony.
which was supported by tariffs. bills
and records, made II clear that more
than 20 per cent Of the carload ship
ments to Spokane originate at points
not Influenced by water competition.
This evidence. pointing out also that
no shipments can be made 10 spo-
kane in less than carload lots and
then shipped anywhere from spo-
kane as against the rates to the
cities Of Portland. Tacoma and Sc
attic. was not attacked by counsel
for the railroads.

ing upon the probable outcome. A.

IDAHO BOY
IN LONDON
Writes Interestingly of the People
and the City

I they took good care not to hurt each
other.
After them came the great event
of the evening-Pedlar Palmer, once
champion of the world in his class,
and George Moore. The managers
took great pains to keep the house
quiet during this skillful contest and
succeeded remarkably well - much
better than they could have done
with an American crowd. At the
close Pedlar was declared the victor,
and the audience was requested to
put their 'ands together for Moore. !"
There were several more contests.
but as there was great deal of same
ness about them, l handed my pro-
gram to my friend Jack and went
out to take a walk through White
chapel. Whitechapel road is a very
wide street with very wide pavements,
but the Saturday night throng of
poorly dressed people completely
filled the pavements. Turning up
Cambridge road, / found it to be mar
ket street, glazing with gasoline
lamps and Uttered with cabbage
leaves. Passing a stand where a
man was calling out Penny a lump
cabbage" l paused in front of a
small restaurant, where a man was
engaged in cooking behind a dirty
window. A small, ragged boy went
in and, laying a penny on the coun-
ter, pointed to a pile Of fried pota-
toes. Eat ere or tike away?"
asked the girl behind the counter.
''Tike away" replied the youngster,
whereupon the girl put a couple
handfuls on dirty newspaper,
poured spoonful of gravy on them
andshanded the paper to the boy, who
vanished in the darkness.
Farther on | came to a small the
alter and. buying a ticket for three
pence, found myself landed in the
balcony. The house was fnll of den
liens of Whitechapel, mostly young
people and with an unwashed appear
ance. They were all poorly dressed,
the girls wearing straw sailor hats.
with their hair combed down over
their ears. Presently the curtain
went up on the last act of a play
called The Maniac The maniac
was there, raving over the memories
of a woman he had murdered and
attempting to drown his troubles in
rum. The unwashed audience sat
spellbound and open-mouthed, hang
ing on his words. The atmosphere
of the place was far from fragrant,
so | cut my visit short.
Retracing my steps, found the
vegetable stands closed, for it was
near midnight, but Whitechapel road
was still thronged and full of life.
Taking a stand on the corner of an
alley, | fell to watching the passing
show which filled the wide pavement.
First, there passed a group of red
coated soldiers and girls. playing
concertinas and singing Wont yer
come ONE. Bill Biley?" Then
fight started between two boys Of un-
equal size and a girl of IA sailed in
and quickly settled it in favor of the
little one. Just across the alley was
an open window through which two
men and girl were passing cans of
