RUSSIAN LINES COSTLY
THE GOVERNMENT TRAFFIC ON
THE RAILWAYS ADDS TO
THE EXPENSE.

st. Petersburg, March 3O.-In justi-
flying before the difma during the past
week the enormous appropriation OF
532,624s23p rubles for the working. Ax-
penses of Russia's state-owned rail-
way system during 1910. Minister
Roukhloff, who directs that depart
ment, mentioned two considerations
as having an immediate bearing on the
appropriation, the governments Man
churian policy and the relations OF
Japan and China. He explained that
the enormous cost of Russias rail-
road system, in comparison with other
great transportation areas, was due
chiefly to the fact that her railroads
towards the border of her territory
were built mainly for strategic pur-
poses and that they have to carry,
free of charge. passengers and freight
on behalf Of the government.
The minister indicated that the con-
struction of railroad In China lead
ing to the Russian frontier would en-
tail q great increase in the expendi-
ture of his department. Altogether,
NJ. Roukhloff sought to convince the
duma that any intensifying political
difficulties in the orient will have for
Immediate effect the making of the
government railway system more
costly to the tax payers than ever.
As 1t is, this years budget is 10,-
437, 1903 rubles higher than that for
1909.
Can Talk With the Car
The election of Alexander Clutch
koff to the speakership of the duma
also has bearing on the cars treat
ment of the situation in the orient.
The speaker has the right of a per-
sonal audience with the czar when he
wishes to communicate a statement
of general policy which he thinks the
sovereign should hear otherwise than
through the government departments.
Gutchkoff may be depended upon to
exercise this right freely. He ls one
of the few Russians who visited Japan
as political inquirer and knows
Manchuria and China.
After the Manchuriap campaign
during which he+was volunteer in
the field hospital corps, he went d.
rect to Japan, where he watched the
national attitude during the Ports
mouth peace negotiations. In addition
to the fact that he represents in the
duma Moscow industrial interests,
which are undersold in the orient by
the Japanese, it is known that he does
not believe in any lasting understand
ing with Japan. but for the present
agrees with influential Moscow opin-
ion that any working agreement with
China is impossible.
Last year Gutchkoff was chairman
of the dumas army committee and
the passage of the entire appropria-
tion for which the war department
asked, besides helping actively the
military organization. His vigorous
patriotism makes him persona grata
to the car, despite his memorable
arraignmetn of the incompetent grand
dukes, which preceded their whole
sale designations of important com.
mands. AS q result of his conferences
with the czar. the people expect to
see Russia take a more resolute at
titude than during the past few years.

THE |NTERMENT
TO Be IN KANSAS
Remains Of Late Justice Brew.
er Will Rest in Adopted
. state s.,:. *.:

Washington, March 3O.-The body
st the late Justice Brewer of the
supreme court of the United States,
whose death came so Unexpectedly
Monday night. will be taken to his old
home in Leavenworth, Kas., for burial.
1t was the oft-expressed wish of the
jurist, and finally it was decided last
night to carry out his desire.
A short funeral service will be held
at the Brewer residence here Thurs
day afternoon at o'clock. Members
of the supreme court will act as pail
bearers. At 3:40 p. m. the funeral
party. including practically the entire
court. 1t is believed, will start on the
journey to Kansas. The funeral train
Is scheduled to arrive in Leavenworth
at 1920 a. m. Saturday. Arrange
ments for a funeral service at a
church in that city are being made,
and after the ceremony the body will
be laid to rest in the family reserva-
ton in local cemetery.
Chief Justice Fuller will head the
list Of members of the court who will
attend the funeral in Leavenworth. It
is probable that only one member of
the court will remain in Washington.
1t will be his duty to open court Mon
day, when IL must convene under an
order issued at the. time of adjourn
ment for the Easter recess. In the
absence of the legal quorum of six.
he will adjourn until the next day.
The funeral party Will return from
Kansas Monday Afternoon.
The supreme court Of United States
will not convene Monday but in all
probability will remain in session
throughout today announcing. deci-
sions and hearing arguments in the
Hertz Inheritance tax case. At a later
day, memorial services will be held
in honor of the late Justice Brewer.
The members Of the court have decid-
ed not to go to Leavenworth to attend
the funeral Of their fellow-member.
Delay to the public business is the
reason Of this decision. The men,
bers will attend the ceremonies here
tomorrow afternoon. s..

LOOKING UP LITTLE.
Detectives Think He Can Thow Light
on $4,000 Plank Robbery.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. ga
strange story of a young lady, who, it
Is said, has almost "a bushel of dia-
monds," and a young man who fooled
even his closest friends, is circulated
through the medium of two detectives
who paid a visit to the city. Incl
dentally it may mean the clearing up
of the famous Plank $2,500 diamond
theft.
Two detectives have been in Hutch
inson looking up the career of Curtis
e. Little, former manager of the Craw-
ford airdOme here, who left suddenly
owing about $500.
One of the detectives is reported to
have said that Little might know of
the diamond robbery and he had been
suspected in other places. One of the
Little was unusually skilled in this
kind of work.
In the course of their stay here, the
detectives intimated that Little had a
girl in Topeka, who is an actress in
one of the vaudeville houses. The
young lady is said to have received
many gifts, some of them expensive,
diamonds, that collectively, were re-
ferred to as a "bushel of diamonds"
by a detective.
The young woman, who is of good
reputation, was afraid to wear the dia-
monds, for fear that Little did not
come by them honestly and while she
is said to have accepted the presents
unhesitatingly, she is said to have
kept them at her home and never wore
them except on the occasion of the
gift.
The detectives left this morning.

CENSUS FORECASTS.
Center of Population Is Likely to Re
main About the Same.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Columbus,
Ind. it not destined to lose any pres
tige it may have enjoyed during the
last decade from being marked on the
census map as the place nearest the
center of population. 1t probably will

Gals fail.
fairly even growth in all directions
from the present central point Only
a small percentage of the total popula-
ton has been announced thus far but
enough is shown by the general trend
to justify some CONGRATULATIONS. Prob
ably the most important of these is
that the eastern states are holding
their own to such an extent as to in
dictate that the pull" of the west will
not be sufficient to disturb greatly the
present equilibrium.
With some exceptions the east is
showing as marked growth as the
west. Probably there will not be as
pronounced a gain in individual cases
but the average bids fair to be almost
If not quite as good. The eastern
growth is attributable in the main to
the development of manufacturing en-
terprises along the northern Atlantic
seaboard.
Up to date the full population of
only two states, Rhode Island and Ok
lahoma, one east and the other west
has been announced. The increase in
Oklahoma amounting to 100 per cent
over the population of the same area
in 1900 is phenomenal and is no indi-
cation of the rate of growth either in
the west or in the country at large.
In Oklahoma vast augmentation is
due to its attainment of statehood and
to the opening of new and rich terri
tory. The same conditions do not exist
elsewhere, for even though Arizona and
New Mexico are coming in as new
states neither presents the attractions
of Oklahoma in the way of newly
available soil. Many sections of the
west, however. will do credit to the ira
ditions of that region. Western Texas,
for instance, will make a marked gain,
as will the state of Washington in
both urban and rural districts Port
land, Ore, is sure to make a big show

Oakland
The mining states of the intermoun-
tain region probably viii suffer some
from the failure to develop important
new camps during the decade. Mining
has not fallen off as an industry, but
as rule it is the boom conditions at
tending rich discoveries that swell the
census rolls in the mountains. Ne
vada alone meets the conditions and
several new towns will be added as a
result of mining developments in that
state Colorado and Utah will show a
healthy growth. as will the two Da-
kotas. New irrigation enterprises viii

OF all the southern states Texas will
make the best showing but Georgia
will manifest a very creditable growth
