turn that i Will then go ahead with
developments, when mean employ
ment for labor and demand for ma
terials, and this means much to the
country both directly and indirectly,
owing to the influence on the indus
tries which produce the materials
consumed. Il is practically a con-
tinuous chain, starting with the cap
italist who furnishes the money i'm
the first place and going all through
the labor on the railway itself, than
in the mill making the materials,
and through them to dealers who
furnish the railway with tonnage and
back TO the owner of the railway Sc
eurity. Each interest handling the
money saves a little for himself and
thus retains part of the wealth
created by the construction of new
property. The attitude of the public
in recent years would seem to indi-
cate, however, that many believe that
the capitalist is the only one bene-
fitted, and that attacks on credit and
on capital are matters which only
concern Wall street and other finan-
cial centers.
II is true, however, that the popu-
lar prejudice which has existed in
certain sections of the country, and
which has found expression in much
unreasonable legislation, has been
largely due to the mismanagemen
of the properties, and wilful disre-
gard of laws in the past. Anyone
seeking TO state the case of the rail
ways fairly, is met with the fact that
all of the rebate cases so far tried
have gone against them, and that a
deliberate violation of the law has
been in existence for years. This is
no excuse for unreasonable legisla
ton, but the popuaee when aroused.
has no use for reason: railway man
ayers should take this fact to heart,
and in the future see that all laws
are obeyed. so as to create a better
sentiment. and show that they do
not consider themselves as above the
law that is enforced against the
smaller capitalist or the laborer.
Snch a policy will gradually do away
with the enmity that now exists. and
b will also show true patriotism and re-
gard for the welfare of those who
suffer the most from industrial de-
I pressions. even though they be in
part of their own making. - Boston

ehos Industry Gradually Leaving
Eastern Coast.

Massachusetts, and Connecticut are
generally thought Of as the big shoe
manufacturing states, but, as the great
west has become more densely popu-
lated. these states are slowly losing
prestige.
Wisconsin, for instance, has the
largest manufacturer Of full vamp
shoes in the world-The F. Mayer
Boot & Shoe Co. Of Milwaukee. The
market for this company's product Is
the great west from the Mississippi
to the Pacific. Undoubtedly it is Mil
waukee's nearness to this great west
market which is responsible for the
great growth OF this concern which
has been In proportion to the growth
Of the west. In the last rs years they
have outgrown six factories. Includ.
ing the new Seattle factory nearly
completed and the Milwaukee factory
annex built this last year the total
capacity OF the Mayer Boot & Shoe
Company exceeds 5000 pairs per day,
which already has been inadequate to
meet the demand of the west.

Bank Of England Reduces It From 7

London, JAN 3.-The directors of
the Bank of England yesterday lower
ed the minimum rate of discount to
6 from z Per cent, which latter rate
was made as result of the late
American financial crisis. Improved
conditions assisted the directors in
their decision to remove the string
ent rate Of discount, which had been
handicapping trade and speculation
for the last seven weeks. The effect
of the reduction of the discount rate,
however, already had been largely
discounted on the London stock ex-
change, us the absence of New York
competition for Mondays gold ar
rivals and a sharp drop In discount
rates foreshadowed an early decline
in the official minimum rate. of dis

satisfaction in this city, although the
American demand for gold had been

placing Of the rate at per cent dur
ing the severe period of New York's

Only the blustery weather which

Five Japanese have been arrested as
the result of the ARRAY.
1t is considered that the affair was

mistake on the part of the Japanese,
who fancied the jovial fremen were
attacking them.
No reprisals against the Japanese
are expected unless Frost, one of the
wounded firemen, should die. The
two other firemen, Allen and McDon-
aid, are reported improving by the
hospital surgeons. Members of the
Asiatic league DO not attach much
Importance to the ARRAY, although 1t

NO meeting of the anti-Asiatic league

MAN FOUND IN DRUCE TOMB
FAMOUS DUKE OF PORTLAND
MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
openlno Of CORN Disproves Tale That
Roll Of Lead Was Buried. and Az.
thors May Be Prosecuted.

London.--The body Of Thomas
Charles bruce, In Highgate cemetery,
was exhumed Monday, just 43 years to
day after its burial The coffin was
found to contain the remains Of hui
man body, thus exploding the romantic
tale told by Robert G. Caldwell and
others, who swore during the recent
hearing Of the bruce perjury case that
It contained roll Of lead.
The official statements given out by
representatives of the home Office and
others who were officially present at
the elimination, not only definitely
disposes OF the lead myth, but seems
effectively to prove that the body
buried in 1864 was actually that OF 7.
C. bruce. The authorized statement
follows:
'The coffin was opened and found
to contain the body of an aged, beard
ed man; the plate on the coffin bore
the name Thomas Charles Druce.'"
Those persons who have sworn to
the placing OF lead instead of hu-
man body in the coffin have been dis
credited, and they probably will have
to take the consequences OF their
acts. M
So far as the general public is con.
cerned, the entire. long-drawn-out
Druce-duke OF Portland controversy is
ut an end, and the case of the claim
ant, George Hollamby Druce, has
fallen to the ground.
Despite the finding of the body,
George H. bruce says that he is deter
mined to continue to push his claim
for the estates and title of the Port
land dukedom. In an interview Mon
day night he said: ;,
1T is foolish to deny that am bit.
terly disappointed, but I have not
abandoned hope. | am prepared to
admit that the man known as Thomas
Charles bruce was buried in High
Gate cemetery. but this does not dis
pose of my case. ] will not admit that
the body exhumed is the body Of my
grandfather, who ] still firmly believe
