PERSONAL VENGEANCE

New Orleans, where the acquittal of
one young woman for numbering her
betrayer and paramour has led an
other girl TO commit a similar crime,
We cannot do IL entire justice in
reviewing its position; but in
watching the procession OF human
events from the vantage point of a
newspaper Office, we never get have
seen the occasion that warranted the
commission of a crime in redressing
a wrong. The law, itself provides
ample protection for justifiable and
excusable homicides-too ample,
sometimes-and the human sym

pended upon to respond TO the miti-
eating and extenuating circum-
stances of each particular case as
presented by adroit counsel for the

There was a preliminary discussion
OF the future Of the railroad bills today
by Senators Aldrich, Elkins and Crane
and Representative Mann. 1t was re-
ported at the meeting that there IS talk
of leaving the bill before the House
with the suggestion that tie Senate
amendments be accepted and no con-
ference ordered
Officials OF the interstate commerce
commission are disposed to believe that
the railroad presidents are making a
bluff when they talk about retrenching
expenditures, abandoning projected
improvements and laying off employees
because of the action OF the government
in bringing the injunction against the
increased rates proposed by the roads
composing the Western Traffic Assocla-
ton. They are more inclined to this
belief because Of the statement made
Yesterday by that veteran railroader,
James J. Hill who said that there was
nothing to occasion alarm, that the
roads, we're doing the greatest business
ever and that the new equipment was
necessary. Practically all OF the roads
OF the country have reported increases
in their gross earnings for the fiscal
year even above the high-water mark
reached in 1907. That several OF the
roads report decreases i'll their net earl
ngs is taken to indicate that much OF
their revenue has been used i'll making
permanent improvements. 1t is further
argued that if the roads are doing a
greatly increased business they must be
making more money. There will be
no further action by the administration
in its injunction suit against the west
ern railroads until after the presi-
dents CT those roads hold their confer
ence with President Taft at the White
House next Monday, After that the
roads will decide upon their course OF
action. 1t is already certain from
statements made by counsel for the
roads that they propose to fight the in
junction suit. 1t is for the railroads
to make the next move and the govern
ment is ready to expedite the hearing
and final determination of the suit as
rapidly as possible.
A step forward, d." is the explanation
made by many senators for their ac,
ton in voting for the Senate railroad
bill. This is the reason that many
close contests on many important
amendments were followed by the
overwhelming vote Of 90 to Il in
favor of the bill when it was case Of
taking that or nothing, and the dis
satisfied ones decided to accept the
bill for the good it contained and
to hope for the day when the objec-
tionable features might be eliminated
from the law.

CONGRESSIONAL.

At 10 O'Clock last night, after an all
day session the Senate passed the rail
road bill by vote of 90 to II. The
II votes against it were all democratic.
The bill has been radically amended
practically made over, since 1t wa
first taken up in the Senate about three
months ago. Mr. Beverage sought tC
make the statehood bill the unfinished
business, but with motion to that
effect pending, the Senate adjourned
at 1921 o'clock until Monday.
In the House a good deal of progress:
was made on the sundry civil bill yes
terday. The indications are that the
measure will be passed today, after
having been under consideration fol
three weeks.

The railroads have apparently de-
clared their intention to do as they
please and to continue doing it until
stopped either by the decisions of the
courts upon existing statutes or the en-
actment of new legislation to restrict
their privileges. This is believed by
many to be the true meaning of the
general advance in freight rates by
neaSlv iai'ioae9~ of the T. Leu
States. II is recognized in washington
as a,declaration of war by the roads
against the public 1t is not against
the government for the government is
claimed to be in sympathy with the
railroads, nor against Congress, for
Congress has shown that the majority
in both houses is willing TO serve the
railroads. 1t is a declaration TO the
public that 1t must submit To railroad
eXactions until it can control the gov
eminent and Congress and force legis-
lation and governmental action for Its
own protection Additional rate in
creases were filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday sf-
fecting rates in eastern territory. There
will be others probably today and so
on until the railroads have gone as far
as they deem it safe to 60.

THE BREWERS.

The status of the prohibition situa-
ton in various parts Of the country,
but especially in the south, will be one
of the subjects considered at the fiftleth
annual convention of the United States
Brewers Association when it meets at
Washington, on June 8 and 9.
The situation, as it exists in the
various southern states, has been
throughly canvassed by the officials of
the association, and lengthy reports
will be made on each state at the con-
vention. The report will show that
there has been a decided improvement
from the brewers standpoint through
out the south.

SITUATION IN CHINA
Another Boxer Uprising imminent
AntI-Foreign Crusade Insugurated.

Pekin. June A repetition OF the
Boxer uprising OF a decade ago, though
on a much larger scale, i, feared by
government officials, in view OF further
alarming reports received today from
part of the Human, Kiang-Su and Chin
Ii provinces.
The situation is declared to be analag-
GUS to that preceding the Boxer out
break. How to check the trouble be-
fore it assumes such proportions as to
necessitate the threatened foreign in-
teryention is now the chief problem
under discussion by Prince Chun, the
regent and his advisors.
The cloak OF an anti-Manchu upris-
ing under which the agitators have
been working, has now been thrown
off and it is seen that the trouble is
purely anti-foreign. So firmly con-
WINGED are many Of the foreigners
that this !is the case they are flee
ing from interior cities to coast towns,
where the feeling is not so bitter,
owing to the accessibility OF three
towns to the warships of foreign
powers.
Foreign consuls in Nankin, Pekin,
and other cities, all of whom have
received the warming from the revo-
lutionary board OF war;" are urging
foreigners to leave as quickly as pos
sible. William J. Calhoun, the new
American minister to China, is.one OF
those who take an alarming view 6i
the situation, though he admits that
his alarm may be due to his lack OF
intimate acquaintance with the temper
of the Chinese people.
The throwing OF dirt upon the con-
sulates at Nankin and the plscardlng
of the streets of that city with appeals
to expel the foreigners are incidents
similar to those that Immediately pre-
coded the boxer outbreak.
The worst trouble is expected at
Nankin, where the anti-Manchu feel
ing is stronger probably than any
where else in the empire. For fear
that the troops there are not to be
trusted, the government is Fastening
reinforcements OF loyal soldiers to the
southern capital" The Nankin ex-
position is scheduled to open tomorrow
and the agitators are urging that TINS
day signalize the beginning OF open
hostilities.
All the foreign legations are in con-
slant communication with their home
governments and have received word
from the latter that fleet Of foreign
ships, in addition to those already IN
Chinese waters, will protect the inter
est Of foreigners.
The identity of the revolutionary
board of war" is not clear. 1t is sup
posed that it is one Of the old anti
Manchu organizations working under
a now name

Pope Receives Oaicers and Sailors.

today III his reception of thirty officers
and sailors OF the United States cruiser

After blessing his visitors, the pope

Roosevelt. "
When so inspired, the pope told them,
their presence would always be a guar
