ASK LEGISLATION
ESTABLISHING RAILWAY COM
MISSION TO BE SOUGHT.
NO Date Fixed for Meeting of Legis-
lative Committee-Other Rail-
road News.

With another session of the West
Virginia legislature not far distant
the question of establishing a state
railway commission to act in conjunc'
ton with the interstate commerce
commission in railroad matters per-
tanning to West Virginia, has been re-
viyed again and is being discussed to
a considerable extent.
Railroaders are aunt in favor of
the establishment of such a commls-
sion and will no doubt take some
measures to bring influence to bear
upon the legislature tending to such
an end. There is a strong sentiment
among many busiess men also, in IA
o of the move and from general in
dications 1t is probable that they too
will join in asking the Legislature to
adopt laws providing a railway com.
mission.
There are many railroad problems
which can hardly be dealt with intelli-
gently without a railroad commission,
"a notable example of which," said
one prominent railroader, "are the
present car service rules in West Vir-
ginia which 10 the consignee in near
ly all cases where big shipments are
received, an injustice"
BY the present system, II a small
plant receives a shipment containing
a larger number OF cars than II has
capacity for handling within the pre-
scribed time for unloading cars, 1t Is
the privilege OF the railroad to com.
pei the plant to accept all the cars al
one time with the ultimate result that
the consignee pays out a large per.
centage OF his profits through demur.

D'ABRUZZI HAS OPPOSITION
King and Queen Marshsrita Declared
Firm Against 1t.

Rome, Sept. 8.-The marriage OF
the Duke OF the Abbruzzi has been
announced for December, but the
Duke, it is asserted, will yet have to
struggle against the obstinate oppo-
sition of the King and Queen Mar
gharita and Duke D'Aosta, oldest
brother of dAbruzzi.
The only member of his family who
is in favor of the marriage is said to
be the Comte Df Floino, brother Of
the Duke, the general commanding
the division at Florence, and he has
just been charged by his brother with
the last negotiations with Queen
Margharita.
L'Unione, a Milan newspaper pub
lished a dramatic account of an in
teryiew between King Humbert's
widow and her nephew at Gressoney,
in which the Comte Di Florino spoke
~e4oquently of his brothers love for
Miss Katherine Elkins. He explained
that his brother would marry no one
but the American girl, who was,
moreover, worthy to enter the House
of Savoy and was already formally
engaged. He recalled to his aunt that
the mother Of the Duke of the Abb
ruzzf, who for five years was Queen
with King Amadeo, of Spain, did not
come of tine royal house, and that
the nobility of the House of Dalpozzo
Della Cisternas was quite recent.
Queen Margharita replied sharply
that she would never give her con-
sent to the proposed marriage, whirh
gave grounds for the assumption
by the American public and press
that a member of the House of Savoy
sought a dowry in the United States.
Then tine Count solemnly and sor-
rowfully declared his brother had de-
cided to marry Miss Elkins, wen
without the permission of his aunt,
and would do SO.
A certain GOODNESS, it is said, fol-
lowed between the aunt and the
nephew, and the Count left the same
evening for Spezia to give an ac-
count of his mission to his brother,
who commands tne battleship Regina
Elena.
In navy circles the marriage is be-
lieved to be close at hand, and the
date supposed to be fixed for January
20. The Duke has asked permission
to give up his command of the battle-
ship to go to Washington.

1908 Will Exceed 1907.

Based on the present prices of ag-
ricultural products the output of the
American farms this year win exceed
in value the '907 harvests by $780,
600, 900, which is nearly equivalent
to $40 for every inhabitant of the
United States. The crops, taken as
a whole, are not much, if any larger
than they were a year ago, the diff
ference in the value being mainly
due to the rise in prices, says the
Philadelphia Press.

nearly finished the plans for its FIVE
blildings-main government, Hawaii,
Alaska, Philippines and fisheries
and will start to work some time
next month. These structures will
be rushed toward completion. In or
der to insure that they will be
finished long before opening day, a
heavy penalty will be imposed on the
contractor for every day he exceeds
the time limit put On the period of
construction.
The six completed buildings are:
manufactures, Agriculture, Machin-
cry, Administration, Fire Station and
Emergency hospital. Those under
construction and their percentage of
progress are as follows: Oregon, 80
per cent; Auditorium, so per cent;
Mines, 80 per cent; Fisheries, 35 per
cent; California, % per cent; Fine
Arts, 20 per cent.
Other buildings that will be started
at once are: Washington, New York,

the salary is never enough to enable
the clerk to keep up the required ap-

Washington, D. c., Sept. S.--A con
ference between Senator S. B.Elkins,
Charles w. Swisher and s.. V.
Matthews was held mere at the Shore
ham hotel, over the republican situa-
ton in West Virginia, but nothing was
given out. 1t is believed that the
Swisher-Elkins combination has hopes
that Judge Golf will refuse to acrept
the leadership OF the republican tick
ct In West Virginia, and that it is
their purpose to have Swisher refuse
to withdraw unless they can name
the nominee
The situation was gone over in
some detail ever to the work done
at New York, and there is a belief
that It is the intention OF Elkins and
Swisher to dictate who shall be NAM
ed for the place il Judge Golf abso-
lutely declines to make the race, and
they feel that he win do so in view
of the news that has been received
from Milwaukee.
It is net expected they will give
out a statment OF what they inteno
to do until they hear something
definite from Judge Golf as to what
action he will take. Elkins is said to
be favor of substituting either Fred
o. Blue, of Philippi, or Judge Ira y
Robinson, OF Grafton, in the event
that Judge Golf positively refuses 10
accept he nomination.
