CTedSes Until Nov. /

Washington, July 21.-Important ad
vances in freight rates recently made
by the railways in Eastern classified.
tion territory will be suspended volun.
tarily by the railroads until Nov. |
next. This agreement was made by
committee representing the carriers
and by Chairman Knapp of the inter
state commerce commission, who
said:
This will not delay investigation
and discussion as to the reasonable
ness of the proposed advances, but
will obyiate the necessity at this time
for numerous supervision orders
which otherwise would be made"
IL is not unlikely that a similar ar
rangement may be made between the
commission and the carriers in the
Western Trunk Line association terri
tory. Such an agreement, it is be
lieved, will be reached before the END
of the present week
1t is the purpose of the commission
to take up for hearing the proposed

HIS LIFE is IN DANGER
Open Threats Made Against Former
Spanish Premier Maura.

Madrid, July 21.-As result of the
threats against his life made by Dep
uty Pablo Iglesias upon the floor Of
the Spanish parliament former Pre-.
mier Maura has been placed under a
heavy guard by Premier Canalejas. A
carriage full of policemen follows him
when he drives out, squad always
keeps him in sight when he walks
along the streets and his house is
constantly under the eyes of uni
formed and plain clothes watchers. At
the same time the government still
shows that II is afraid to call Iglesias
to account
What makes the situation serious
is that Iglesias' opinions are evidently
those of the masses of the people
Maura is undoubtedly the most
hated man In Spain.

Long Drawn Out Struggle.
Montreal July 2l.--With its more
important passenger schedules fairly
well maintained the pressing problem
confronting the Grand Trunk railway
lies in the continued and apparently
complete paralysis of its freight traf-
fic, This condition the striking con
ductors and trainmen declare to have
been precisely their objective when,
to the number of 5000 or more, they
left their various positions on the
company's system from Portland, Me,
TO Detroit and in New England Mon
day night
Carloads of perishable freight are
standing on sidings far and near and
unless it is possible to begin to turn
the wheels soon the property loss will
be large. Food supplies and crop
transportation are vitality involved, it
is stated
A generally expressed opinion at
many important points on the Grand
Trunk is that the strikers will be able
to continue the freight train holdup
two or three days longer at least
Conductors and yardmen in the en-
ploy of the Wabash on the tracks that
road leases from the Grand Trunk be-
tween Niagara Falls, Ont, and Wind
son, Ont, opposite Detroit, have gone
out and as a result the Wabash is
having considerable trouble in moving
its passenger trains over tnat division.
No attempt is being made to touch the
freight.

PRISONER COULD NOT WAIT
Pleads Guilty Just as Jury Brings in
Verdict of AcuuittaI.

Chicago, July 21.-Benjamin Bisno
watched the clock in Judge Barnes
courtroom for an hour and half,
imagining every minute that the jury
was getting nearer and nearer a ver-
dict in his trial on charge of steal
ing $1,000 worth of clothing.
And then, just as the first juror
made his appearance in the doorway.
Bisno leaped to his feet and told the
Judge he was guilty.
He was sentenced to five months
in the Bridewell.
When Bisno had been led from the
courtroom the verdict was opened,
just for curiosity, and 1t read:
mot guilty"
But is was too late to help Bisno.
Bisnos partner had turned states evs.
dence against him at the trial.

MY HOUSE BESIDE THE ROAD.


(Momers Ideal-"He was q friend

There are hermit souls that live

In the place OF their selfish content,
There are souls like stars, that dwell

There are PIONEER souls that blaze

Where highways never ran.
But let me live by the side of the

Where the race of men 20 by;

BY the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor Of

The men who faint with the strife,
But / turn not away from their smiles

Both parts of an Infinite plan;
Let me live in my house by the side

And mountains OF wearisome height
And the road passes through the long

And ntretches away to the night,
But still rejoice when the trayel ers

And weep with the strangers that

Nor live in my house by the side OF

Like man who dwells alone.

They are good; they are bad; they are
