WANTS BERTH PRICES EQUAL
Interstate Board Hears Charges Laid
by st. Paul Man.

The interstate commerce commits
sion, sitting at Washington, heard
oral arguments in the case of George
+. Lotus of st. Paul against the Pull
man Palace Car company, in which
the question of rates for sleeping car
berths between st. Paul and Chicago
and st. Paul and the Pacific coast is
involved. The point to be determined
Is whether the railroads shall be per-
m1tted to charge as much for an upper
as for a lower berth.
The commission also heard argu-
ments in the case of James Manahan
against the Northern Pacific and
other railroads operating between the
Twin Cities and Duluth, involving al
legged excessive charges for the trans
portation of hard and soft coal from
the lakes to the Twin Cities. In this
case 1t is charged that the people of
the Northwest are being mulcted of
about $750,000 annually because Of the
imposition of high rates.

In the discussion the president reiter-

CHINESE JUSTICE.

II Hung Chang and the Men Who
Tried to Poison Him.
When Ii Hung Chang was Chinese
premier and was having bitter fight
with some Of the more conservative
members Of the tsung-li-yamen he re-
ceived as present magnificent cake
which he had reason to suspect con-
tanned poison. He put the cake aside
and set all his powerful machinery
to work to find out who was at the
bottom Of the plot The investigation
was partly successful, the crime being
traced to three men, Of whom one at
least was absolutely guilty. Ii had
the trio arrested and brought to his
yamen. When they arrived they were
nshered into his presence and were re-
ceiyed in his courtliest manner. The
cake was produced with the remark
that politeness forbade his tasting It
until the three generous donors had
had an opportunity to enjoy its excel
lence. Ii cut the cake. and one Of his
servitors handed it to the unwilling
guests. Each took piece and ate or
pretended to eat it. One crumbled the
pieces and let them fall upon the floor.
but the other two ate calmly. without
manifesting any emotion. Ten min
utes and the two men began to show
symptoms Of suffering. Ii smiled be-
nignantly and said to the man who
had not eaten. your wisdom is SO
great that am compelled to preserve
your head as souvenir to transcend
ent genius
The man was removed and promptly
decapitated. To the other two the pre-
mier remarked: "The cake that you
are eating is not the one you sent, but
one which had my cook initiate. The
poison from which you are suffering
exists only in your Imagination. I
know of no way to cure your present
pain except by letting you share the
same fate as your friend who has just
left the room.''
AS they were led away the states

that man who can eat a deadly cor
rosive poison with an unmoved coun-
tenance should SO misapply the talent
wherewith heaven has endowed him."

lCEBERGs.

How Those Found In the North A.
lantic Are Formed.
The distance covered by an iceberg
Of the north Atlantic from the time
It is formed until it reaches the banks
is fully 2,5O0 miles. 1t may have been
afloat for year, exposed to wide
changes Of temperature, battered by
ice foes, possibly other bergs and
ceaselessly washed by the waves. Yet
some Of those seen 1900 miles south
of their starting point are nearly 800
feet in height and truly of majestic
proportions, often 1000 or more feet
in length, while it is an established
scientific fact that 90 much more Of
the bulk is under water than is visible
that the largest bergs may extend into
the ocean to depth of over half a
mile.
Their enormous size when they be-
come detached from the glaciers is
proved by the observations of explor-
ers along the Greenland coast. A few
years ago berg was measured as
nearly as possible. around the edges.
This distance was about five miles.
It had several peaks estimated to
range from 300 to 500 feet high. Judg-
ing from its appearance, it was solid
mass that had separated in its entirety
from the glacial edge Of Greenland.
AS arctic navigators who venture
far north often see score or more of
great bergs in day, the tremendous
glacial activity in this region can be
appreciated. The majority Of these
that drift to the Grand banks come
from Melville bay. Some of the dis
tinct glaciers that terminate the Green
land ice cap on this coast extend along
it distance of fully twenty five miles.
Their thickness or height can only be
estimated. but in places near the open
sea it is believed to be several hun
dred feet.
Recent examinations Of this coast
show that during the short summer
the formation of bergs in the bay is
almost continuous The glacial move
ment keeps pressing the ice forward
until thick stratum often projects
many feet beyond that beneath. After
time the great weight overcomes the
tensile strength of the mass and 1t
falls into the sea, and berg is Gre
