They allege that the rates-all rail and

unreasonable and discriminatory, in that
it costs them more to ship their flour

Acetylene Shells for German Army.

Experiments are now being carried out
on German warships with acetylene
shells, which it is believed will take the
hitherto by warships. These shells con-
tain calcium-carbide, and the water can
reach it through tube The shells are
fred by a gun built specially for the pur-
pose. On being fired the shell goes under
water, and then rises to the surface, and
the action of the water upon the calcium
carbide produces the acetylene light
Each shell is said to have 3O00-candle-
power and will burn for three hours
The great drawback of the ordinary
searchlight is that, although it affords
some protection from the unobserved APP
nroach of torpedo boats, it yet makes the
warship using it an excellent target. The
new acetylene shell referred to will have
the great advantage of lighting up a Civ
en- space, while the vessel that fires it
will be left in darkness.-London Globe.

Racing and Gambling.

August Belmont now declares that
horse racing may survive without race
track gambling. The voice of the people
in the nomination and reelection of Gov.
Hughes seems to have been quite persua-
sive. The governor has contended from
the first that gambling was merely
parasite and not an essential feature of
tests of speed for horses. If it is clean,
honest sport horsemen want. they are
welcome to it and it will do them and the
public good; but if it is gambling with all
and suffering of both the guilty and the
innocent inevitably flowing from it, as
death follows the use of polluted
stream, then the predominating decent
sentiment OF the state will see to it that
the demand is not granted. Fortunately,
the constitution and the laws of this
state are on the right side of that ques-
tion.-Rochester Democrat and Chron-

GAN AFFORD LOW RATE
EXPERT ACCOUNTANT TESTIFIEs
FOR 2-CENT FARE.
Declares Cost of Intrastate Service Costs
Much Less Than "Long Haur'
Traffic.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 22.-The
state today began the Introduction of
evidence to support it's side in the Mis-
souri, rate case, which has been dragging
along here in the United States district
court before Judge Smith Mcpherson.
When the court adjourned Saturday last,
the eighteen roads had concluded the
presentation of their evidence in an en-
deavor to prove their claim, namely, that
the 2-cent and maximum freight laws of
Missouri were confscatory.
The first witness called by the state
was A. p. Taliaferro, who is connected
with a New York firm of expert account
ants and who mas been in charge of the
states investigations into the earnings
and expenses of various railroads.
Mr.. Taliaferro. in direct opposition to
the long array of witnesses introduced by
the defense, declared the relative cost to
the railway companies per passenger
mile was less for state than for inter
state traffic.
Mr.. Taliaferro based his conclusion
on the fact that most of the interstate
traffic was handled on sleeping cars
of passengers as the ordinary coaches.
The state passengers ride in day coaches
which accommodated larger number
of patrons, and that the witness said,
made the cost Of handling them relative
ly smaller.
1t was further stated that the time of
almost everybody connected with the
road was largely given to expediting
and securing the competitive, or long
haul business. and that practically ali
of the advertising expenses and most
of the traffic expenses should be charged
to the cost of obtaining and carrying
interstate passengers.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Dec. ~
Vice President j. Vincente Gomez, to
whom Gen. Cipriano Castro handed over
the presidency ON his departure for Eu-
rope. has established a new government
in Venezuela.
Replaces Old Ministry.
Gomez has replaced the old ministry
with Il new body of men who represent
various factions in the state and who
have figured prominently in various
ways in the political history of the coun-
try. This means the end Of the power
of DR.. Jose de Jesus Paul, the minister
of foreign affairs, who has been the one
figure outside Of Castro himself in the
negotiations that eliminated in the
ousting of Minister De Reus and the
severance Of diplomatic relations with
Holland
DR.. Baldo, who is now with Castro
abroad. also has been removed from his
official position as minister of education.
Gen. Diego Ferren, the minister of war,
who also was war minister in the cab
met of Acting President Gomez in 1906,
has been superseded by Gen. Regulo
Oivares, who took a prominent part in
crushing the revolutionists six years ago.
Makeup of New Cabinet.
The new cabinet is composed as fol-
lows:
Minister of Education-Linares Alcantara.
Minister Of Foreign Affairs-Gonzales Gui-
Maud.
Minister of Finances-Munoz Tebar.
Minister Of War-Gen Regulo Olivares.
Minister of Fomento patronage)-
Carabano Obras.
Minister of Public Works-Roberto Var
gas
Minister of Public Instruction-Dr. Maldo-
nado.
Secret adyices received from Caracas,
where the strictest censorship is being
observed, indicate the whole of Vene-
zuela has been in ferment since Presi-
dent Castro sailed and that the crisis
was reached a few days ago when it be-
came necessary for Acting President
Gomez to take decisive steps, which he
did by eliminating from his cabinet those
who were closely affiliated with Castro.
The revolutionary factions played a
prominent part in the demonstrations
against the absent President, which took
the form of rioting and incendiarism.
Letters received here tell of plot TO
assinate Gen. Bello, commander of
Fort San Carlos at Maracaibo. The con-
spirators were captured and shot.
