 There was no abatement of Mrs. GOuld's ordeal, and as the burden of reiteration grew heavier. she shrank visibly and look of pain came into her eyes as if. though she might have read or seen such things, it was a new realization for her to hear them ap- piled directly to herself

THE INLAND EMPIRE
 CALLED ID ARMS TO RESIST THE TYRANNY OF
 THE COAST. The Commissions Ruling in Spokane Case Insisted Upon.

Spokane, Wash, June 17.-Graham R. Dennis, millionaire mine and ware house owner, who operated the first electric railway in the Northwest in Spokane and the third on the conti- nent, has issued an open letter to the people of the Inland Empire and in terior cities west of Denver, urging them to insist upon the enforcement of the original order by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the Spokane rate case. He also declares that the future of the interior points lies in the institution of supplemental suits to cover 1,lO0 other commodity rates in dispute. He says that the strongest political influence is being brought to bear by the Pacific coast to secure a modification of the recent order, add ing:
 Apparently. contrary to the pro- visions of the law. the Spokane case seems to be merging into a stage where the railroads and the coast cities are attempting to fix the rates for the commission, or at least to act as the commissions advisors over the protests of the complainants. In view of this. every interior town should send one or more delegates to the hearing next September and advise its con- gressional representative to support Spokane in this battle, in the outcome of which the entire intermountain country is vitally concerned.'

A Fact Brought Out in Investigation of the Coal Combination.

New York, June 17.-W. w Rule statistician of the anthracite coal companies, was witness today in the governments suit charging the coal roads with maintaining an illegal combination Questioned as to a working agreement, following the settlement of the strike of 1902 through the intervention of President Roosevelt. by which the miners were to receive one per cent increase in wages for every five cents advance above S4.50 a ton made by mine own CTS, Rule admitted that the coal com panies likely received at least as much from the increase in price as did the miners.
 50. if labor received S17,O00, 900 more in wages since the strike in 1902 and the operators benefited equally, the public must have paid $34,O0O, 900 more for coal?"
 T suppose so,' said the witness.
