 Illinois Central officers admit there are many Inconsistencies in rates but they say rates cannot always be made on a mileage basis and that many Of the discrepancies have been caused by reductions made by state commits sfons,

CASTRO IN COLOGNE
VENEZUELAN Hx.PRNsIDrNT q
 HIS WAY HOME.
HxilsA 0msial May Sail rron Bordeaux for South ADeFica-Doubtful Reception Said to Be
 Awaiting Hin.

Cologne. March 23.-Ex-President Castro. of ysnezuela. who is on his way to Brodeaux. to sail for South America. stayed in this city over night and win leave for Paris on Wednes- da.ymorning.
 1t is learned from one of Castro's friends that he has only about $75.0oo in Europe. and that the stories of im- mense sums being sent out to him from Venezuela are pure fiction.
 Castro arranged for credit of 3100,00o with the Deutsche Bank of Berlin. which was later supplemented by drafts on the Bank of Venezuela for about t50,00o more. The Gomez Gov ernment stopped the; drafts upon the national treasury but allowed the drafts to be honored from Castro's pri- vate deposits.
 His estates in Venezuela yield large revenues. w
 It is not clear whether President Co., meg will permit Castro's private in- come to be sent continuously out of the country, especially if there Is any suspicion that this money win be used to finance a revolution.
 The former Presidents attitude of mind Is described as being that if he were alone in the forests of Venezuela he could within a week have fol- lowing. within a month have an army, and within three months the mastery of the state.

To Reduce Expenditures


 Washington, March 23-That a de. termined effort will be made to reduce public expenditures to such an extent that governmental needs may be mel by revenues derived from duties or Imports. and with out resorting to an, of the special taxation schemes that have been suggested in connection with the tariff revision, was indicated todd, by Senator Aldrich, Chairman of tn, Senate Committee on Finance.
 Mir. Aldrfch was asked to give hi, opinion of the plan erroneousiy accred tied to President Taft to place a tax or dividends declared by corporations MT Aldrich replied that he had not even thought of 1t, and added, that he would not concern himself with any of the various plans to raise revenues by special taxes until 1t could be ascer- tained how much revenue could be pro- duced by levying duties on imports and If the running operations of the government could not be reduced so as to make special taxes unnecessary.
 It is asserted on what is thought to be accurate information that a major ity of members of the Finance Commit tee regard with disfavor the proposed special tax features, the proposed in- come tax, levies on dividends of corpo- rations, tax on coffee and practically all forms of stamp taxes.
 It Is recognized that in the form in which the Payne bill was reported to the House from the Ways and Means Committee. sufficient revenues to pay the running expenses of the govern ment, at least under the present basis of annual appropriations, cannot be collected from duties on imports alone. The inference drawn from Mir. Ald- fich's decision, therefore, is that the revision of the tariff must be of an upward trend. and that the Congress must curtail the tendency to expand annual appropriations at each succeed ing session of Congress.
 It Is not assumed that Mr. Aldrich is irrevocably opposed to all forms of special taxes upon articles in daily use, but 1t may be inferred from his re- marks today that If such impositions cannot be avoided altogether, he will seek information as to what one or more of the various plans will prove the least obnoxious to the people gen orally.
 No credence Is given at the Capitol to the story that President Taft and Senator Aldrich have disagreed over any of the features of the tariff bill It Is generally believed that the Presl- dent will welcome a plan to avoid adopting special taxes If they can be avoided without raising the existing duties on the necessities of life and by lowering the duties on some articles that ne believes are now too high.

Englishmen in Alaska

Returning from Quebec last month we met on the tram three Devonians bound for Douglas, Alaska. Mir. Ellis Stone, of Tiverton, Devonshire, writes us from Douglas City, Alaska, under date of June 10, saying: I've three boys from Devonshire arrived here safe and we'll on June 3. We had a stay.over at Seattle of week to get steamer to Alaska. Seattle is great bustling, live, modern city, full of travellers. We saw lot of real west cru life, and many of the sights of big city, which were new and interesting to a bunch of country lads.
 Arriving at Douglas we found work and started in next day. It may inter- est you to know that we are working 900 feet underground in a gold mine at S3 u day, and the work is not as hard as we did in England for 15 shillings a week. 1 should not care to go back to Devonshire to work for the old wage. 1 would rather work underground than on top of the pit. It was a new sensa- tiou going down and up in the cage at first, but we are getting accustomed to the new experience.
 1t was a sore trial to leave home, friends and native land, but the voyage from Liverpool to Quebec was greatly enjoyed. The Dominion Line s. s. Dominion was our marine home for eight days, and we made many acquain- tauces. The Canadian railway trains are more comfortable and convenient than they are in dear Old England. Canada was surprise to us-the scenery was beautiful, aud the homes of the country folk and the large farm buildings were real surprise to us. 1 thought how much better it would be for lot of men at home if they came to this new world. If they are able and willing to work this is the country for them. The towns here are more alive and give more work and show more life. The people here are sociable and everybody seems ready to give strangers information. and advice.
 "I was glad to receive copies of the Bowmanville papers on arrival here. Later l will send you more particulars about this far-away Alaska."-Bowman- vile News.

The place he lived in never suited; be hankered to be gone; and so he packed his grip and scooted, little farther on, farther on. Awhile he paused in our calm valley, where all the virtues bloom, but left it for frowsy alley, aud seveth-story room. And when of city life he wearied, he northward turned his toes, and hired an Eskimo, and Pearyed among the Arctic snows. And when of toe about dozen were icy, stiff and stark, he left those re- gions, white and frozen, for jungles hot and dark. His youthful friends grew fat and wealthy, with children on their knees, and made their homes in eli mates healthy, but he'd have none of these. Some other place was always better than that where he abode, and so, on suowshoeS or iu sweater, again he hit the road. And when this wan derer was dying, one cold and dreary dawn, "I'll have some fuu," they heard him signing, "a little farther on?-- Walt Mason.

Last evening Douglas was invaded by a party of five men. They came over from Juneau and walked out across the Douglas ball grounds jing- ling sundry and divers coins in their pants pockets. In few minutes they walked back again and headed for Front street. One was Manager Simp
 kins, of the Juneau ball team. Crowned by repeated success, Simpkins is begin niug too look fat and sleek. Another of the party was Manager Ed Russell, of the Juneau Dispatch. Ed looks lean and hungry, and seemed to be follow ing closely after another one of the party-a dapper-looking fellow with ice cream clothes. Ed never let him get over b feet away at any time. One of the bunch patted the right hand seat pocket of his trousers affectionately and announced that he had 300 plunks to bet on the ball game. Two Jackson kids, Mccormick or two and several others who were playing "old cat" grinned skeptically, but no one made an offer. So the party made the rounds of the ball park and walked away again, Ed still sticking close to the fellow with the ice cream clothes.

The death of Congressman Francis w. Cushman, in the prime of his use- fulness, comes as blow not only to the state which he so ably represented, but to Alaska as we'll. He was one of the members of the Western contin- gent who always had good word for this new territory and was ready at all times to espouse the cause of the Amer ican citizens who had cast their lots in the Northland. A true product of American soil, he carved his way from poverty and obscurity to the position of honor as the trusted servant of the people which he occupied when death came. Alaska mourns his untimely taking.

While there are many things that Douglas needs there is general feel ing among the people that the first thing that is to be done should be the completion of the city wharf. The gateway at which strangers are vel comed to the town is at the waterfront, and it is very important that no indi- vidual or corporation should have the power to close the gate.
