A HAPPY SITUATION.

The railroads report a shortage Of
cars III the East and South, but small
surplus in the West and Southwest.
che foltnightly statement OF the car
association says there seems to be no
doubt that the railroads are carrying
as much freighteas they did in October,
1907, when the railroad movement was
at its maximum. The general busi-
ness Of the country is normal when
the railroads are carrying as much
freight as they did Just before the
panic In 1907.
1t is happy situation when we find
Practically all the freight cars Of the
county In use, and yet there is to be
no general crossing OF the limo to a
car famine. We have just enough cars.
in ether words. and just enough busi-
ness to keep them moving. The sit
uation is ideal. and the railroads can
keep It ideal, perhaps. II they will or
der additional equipment against the
crops OF another year.

THE LATE JUSTICE PECKHAM.

The death of Justice Peckham of the
United States Supreme Court in the
Ill st year of President Taft's term in
dicates very considerable changes In
the great court before the end Of the
present presidential term in March,
1913. Justice Peckham really died Of
old age, although he was only seven
-ty-one years old. Chief Justice Fuller
is seventy-six years old; Justice Har-
Ian is also seventy-six years old, and
Justice Brewer seventy-two years old.
justices McKenna and Holmes are
each nearly seventy years old. Jus
tice hioody is in feeble health, al
though he is the youngest man on the
bench, end he is ffty-six years old.
>. The dead associate justice was q
Democrat. At present there are but
two Democrats in the court, both ap-
pointed oy President Cleveland. These
:wo are Chief Justice Fuller and JUS
tiee VI hite, Of louisiana. No doubt the
seat LETT vacant by Justice Peckham
will be filled by Democrat, and Luke
3. Wr:glt, of Memphis, is mentioned
for the place. Possibly a New York
f,elnoc1 at will be selected by Presi-
dent TAFT. for the middle Eastern

COOKS EsKIMOEs FAITHFUL.

It must be terrible thing to have
reputation for being as irascible as
Commander Peary, for that seems to
be the answer to the confusion which
now prevails as to what the Cook Es-
kimos, who accompanied the Brooklyn
physician, have to say on the subject
Of that trip to the pole.
It will be recalled that Peary, a
short time ago, gave US very circum-
stantial account OF what the Eskimos
told him. He alleged that these ma
tives OF the frozen north bore ,testi-
mony that DR.. Cook had not in reality
been anywhere near the north pole.
Which was very important, IL true.
And now Knud Rasmussen, the half
Eskimo governor of Greenland. sends
word back to Denmark that the two
Eskimos who are supposed to have ac-
companied DR.. Cook to the ultimate
north are faithful to him and bear
willing testimony that DR.. Cook was
really at the apex of the world.
Rasmussen himself, being. rs we
have said, half an Eskimo, speaks the
lingo perfectly. and he had no din
Guilty In talking with the natives. It
is true that he did not talk to the two
who accompanied DR.. Cook, but he saw
numbers who had talked to them. and
the verdict is entirely in favor of Dr.
Cook.
In explanation OF why they did not
tell Commander Peary the truth, they
said that they feared the commanders
temper.
The civilized world has more than
half guessed already that Peary has a
temper which ono would rather not
encounter, II possible. and the Eskimos
have borne out the suspicion. The
manner in which Peary came charging
hom, with blood and birthstone In his
eye, vowing to expose the gold brick
which Cook was handing the world,
prejudiced his case SO much in the
eyes OF the general public that he was
making friends for Cook right along.
Wonder how Peary must feel when
he learns that the Eskimos were really
duping him, and pretending to dis
credit Cook, simply because they were
afraid he would blow out a cylinder
head IL they told him the truth?
| Such, at any rate, appears to be the
fact. The Eskimos, according to the
highest authority in Greenland. really
went with Cook to the north pole, and
they are willing to bear testimony tc
this fact at any time, to the complets
satisfaction of the world.

WORLDS GREATEST SEA FIGHTER
Battleship Delaware, Dreadnought'i
Superior, Soon to Be Commissioned.

Newport News. Va. Oct. 2S.-With
cant of clean sweep OF the sea, the
new battleship Delaware returned
here yesterday from her successful
Standardization tests OF Portland, Me-,
where under 10000 horsepower, she
developed q speed OF 21.9S knots. This
is the greatest speed ever made by a
frst-class battleship. She will now
be placed in commission and undergo
her official naval tests.
The Delaware Is the most powerful
fighter afioat, outclassing the British
Dreadnought. In appearance she diff
fers fro mthe ordinary type. The for
ward deck is uncommonly high. and
broad, calculated to keep the heaviest
seas from dashing over the bows and
making it possible to fire the guns in
the forward turrets when the ship is
running at full speed in a storm. In
her main battery she carries ten
twelve-inch breech-loading rifles,
mounted I'm pairs In electrically con-
trolled elliptical turrets, situated on
the centre line of the ship. All ten OF
the guns may be fired On either broad
side.
Two skeleton masts set OF her su-
perstructure in place OF the steel tube
masts in use in other ships. The new
type is made of small steel tubes and
steel wire cables. Tests In Hampton
Roads proved that it was impossible
to shoot the masts away. She is equip
ped with two submerged torpedo
tubes. She has a water line armoI
belt from stem to stern eleven inches
thick along the engine room, fire room
and magazine spaces and stepped
down at bow and stern

need is for the negroes of the South to
be let alone by misdirected philan-

situation. he said, is a problem for the
Southern people and not for the North
to settle. Every time outsiders in

here, they make it worse for the ne

be right between the Southern white
people and the colored epople."

groes.

Washington, D. c.. Oct. 2s.-A di-

ed yesterday by Wilbur Wright at the

officer pupils to the point where they
are now able to operate an aeroplane
themselves. Mr.. Wright had for pas
senger a female aviation enthusiast In
the person of Mrs. Van Deman. wife OF
Capt Ralph H. Van Deman. Of the
Twenty-drst Infantry.
The machine eircled the aerodrome
and was put through some intricate
maneuvres, the flight lasting four min
utes. The landing was made without
the slightest mishap.
Mrs. Van Deman received a round Of
applause as she stepped from the ma
chine to the earth.
Mrs. Van Deman was the frst wom-
an to fly in a heavier-than-air ma
chine in the United States. Mr.. Wright
and his brother Orville both have had
women as passengers in their aero
plane abroad, and Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth at Fort Myer recently wished
to make the trip in the aeroplane, but
the Wright brothers have refused
heretofore in the United States. It
was only after Mrs. Van Deman had
obtained permission from her husband
that Mr.. Wright consented to take her
for a fight. The trip was made dur
ing a calm. Mrs. Van Deman expressed
herself as delighted with the unique
sensation.

Statesman VIII Be Taken to

Toxic, Oct 27.-The body of Prince
Ito, the murdered elder statesman of
Japan, will be taken aboard the jap
anese warship Iwato at Dairen and
will be brought to Japan accompanied
by full suite representing the entire
nation. The body lay today in q hotel
at Dairen, the coffin covered by a SIM
pie white pail. Guards surrounded
the hotel and only the princes per-
sonal staff were admitted.
Throughout the day kilograms pour
ed into Toxic from every country Of
the world, and the officials Of the for
aign Office are busily engaged In an
swering them.
Those closest to the throne say that
the Emperor is deeply affected by the
assassination of the Prince. He has
asked for every detail and apparently
is unable to understand why the mur-
der was committed, in view of the evil
when informed of all the facts so far
as they have been learned here the
Emperor ordered that there must bs
no change in the policy toward Korea.
The Emperor of Korea has cabled
his sympathy to the Emperor of ia
pan as we'll as to Princess Ito at Oiso.
The assassin probably will be tried at
Dairen. Nine alleged accomplices
have been arrested and it is believed
that the investigation will show that
the plot was hatched at Seoul. The
Japanese authorities are determined to
unearth the source, because the assas-
slnation of Prince Ito is believed to
have been planned by the same per-
sons who, planned the murder of Dur
ham White Stevens, the former diplo-
matte adviser to the Korean govern
ment, at San Francisco in 1908.
