alton Of the affiliated lines. He AYERS
that In the transcontinental lines Of
railroad reaching the Pacific coast
south of Portland the Union Pacific Is
but a link about thousand miles In
length-an intermediate carrier with.
out any power to make rates upon
such traffic; that the Southern Pacific
owns and controls lines between Og.
den and the coast with no power to
make rates on business east of Ogden;
that m rates could be made from the
Missouri river to the coast without
the joint consent of the Southern Pa.
cific and the Union Pacific; that
while the Union Pacific and its con
stituent companies separately owned
connecting lines operated as a single
system from the Missouri river to
Portland, Ore, and operated certain
small steamships between Portland
and San Francisco, yet such a route
via Portland was not only impractical.
BILE as a competitor of the Southern
Pacific, but any attempt to use It as
such would have greatly injured the
Union Pacific, because the Southern
Pacific would thereupon have pre-.
ferred the rivals Of the Union Pacific
In routing and interchange traffic at
Ogden and the business in tonnage
and revenue thus lost would have
greatly exceeded the total volume of
business received over such an i'm
practicable route in competition with
the Southern Pacific.

sition, being without either premier
or ministry. According to the court
circular, Sir Henry resigned on the
urgent solicitation OF his medical ad'
vlsers. As the constitution provides
no automatic successor, it falls on the
king to choose . new head Of gov
ernment. and In accordance with Gus
tom and precedent the whole cabine,
resigns with the premier.
The position OF the country IS un
precedented, there being no previous
example Of q change occurring In the
premiership while the sovereign was
abroad. On this account the course
Of the procedure to be followed Is in
some doubt.
The resignation OF Sir Henry Camp
bell ,Bannerman, the first Liberal
prime minister of England since Lord
ROsebery gave up Office in 1895, has
its dramatic phase, for as he passes
from the stage. the mixed forces
which he held together as a party APP
pear also to be approaching the end
Of political power. The Bannerman
government, IL mould be stated, com
bined too many factions and too many
fads; all the elements of opposition to
conservatism and of discomfort united
to make common cause against the old
government, and when Joined together
in an administration a working team
of Home Rulers, I.aborites, Socialists,
Liberal Imperialists and Little En-.
CHAMBERS was found well nigh impossi.
BILE. But 1t speaks much for Banner
mans leadership that the disintegra.
ton of his party has gone on so
much more swiftly since the attack
of heart trouble. last fall in Bristol.
where he had gone to make a political
speech, which removed him from the
possibility of active leadership.
