The lonesome man--the traveller, com
merciaI OF otherwise, caught away from
home on Thanksgiving-was in evidence
around Omaha hotels yesterday. He could
not sell goods because all the stores were
closed. He might dictate some letters but
the hotel stenographer had gone to the
foot ball game. So there was nothing left
for him but to eat turkey alone. and since
that rift In the monOtony requires only
small part of his time, he had nothing
much left 70 DO except TO pace 10 and

Most wives fancy that their husbands
on the road have a gay time every day
not TO mention the nights, but il these
wives could see the gloom that hangs pail

force rise up ana hand forward crown
in acknowledgment OF faithfulness.
Any day but Sunday or Thanksgiving OF

men would not lOiter around tbs lobby Of

the praises OF the goods they have 10 sell,

Postmaster General Hitchcock Will
Advise Limited Service in His
Forthcoming Annual Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. PA limited par
cells post for rural free delivery routes will
be recommended by Postmaster General
Hitchcock in his forthcoming annual re-
port. In announcing this tonight the post
master general said he foresaw the estab-
lishment of a general parcels post through
out the country as soon as the postal saw
ings system is thoroughly organized.
AS the preliminary step in the develop
ment of such a service, Mr.. Hitchcock will
ask congress to authorize the deliverey on
rural routes on parcels Weighing as high
as eleven pounds, which is the weight limit
for the international parcels post This
form OF service can be conducted with
little if any additional expense to the gov
ernment
A rural parcels post, II successful, would
probably lead the department to attempt a
more general system.

RIO JANEIRo, Nov. 4-The crews of
two battleships Of the Brazilian navy mu-
tinted yesterday. Tliey turned their guns
on the loyal ships and also threw few
shells into the city.

killed. The fighting soeased at night, buI
the revolters remainea II possession Of the
two vessels. -a l
Today the battleships with their mutinous
crews were anchored outside the bar await
ing action by the government Congress
was summoned in session at / o'clock this
afternoon to deal with the situation.
The censorship is strict and details Of
the trouble cannot be cabled at this time.
It is officially stated the trouble is not
of a political character and should be de-
scribed as a mutiny among the sailors TO
enforce certain concessions from their off,
GERS, rather than a revolt against the ad-
ministration of President Fonseca.
Demand for More Pay.
For some time the men Of the navy had
been agitating the matter of more pay.
They also objected to the practice in the
navy Of inflicung corporal punishment
sailors.
The matter came to a head yesterday
when the crews of two OF the larger war
ships turned on their superiors. 1t is re-
ported that the captain of the battleship
Mlnas Geraes was killed.
Following the fighting the mutineers
expect congress to pass a measure this
afternoon granting them amnesty. 1t Is
| believed IL this is done the trouble will be
at an end. Should congress refuse amnesty
to the revolters the subsequent attitude OF
the latter is in doubt.
The situation is tense and there is consid-
cradle anxiety among the people of the
city.

Az sHEN the decision of the interstate
Weonnmessrrsss ere commits commission s nj in the case
of the Pacific Coast jobbers' and
manufacturers association against the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe reached
this city at noon Friday the traff1cmen
mostly interested were in the local
Offices of the San Pedro, Los Angeles
and Salt Lake discussing the probable
outcome. j. W. Chapman. traffic man
ager for the Pacific hardware and steel
company, had just made a bet of SIS
with F. w. Gomph of the Pacific tariff
bureau that the commission would rem
der a decision favorable to the plain
tiffs.
Jim Keller OF Baker & Hamilton was
at the Transportation club endeavoring g
TO see if the commission had given the
railroads anything in it's decision.
j II. Brown, traffic manager of the
Los Vegas and Tonopah, entered the
club at this minute and told Keller Of
the wagers There was a rush of ship
pers to the Salt Lake Office.
"rn bet you any part of hundred
that the decision of the commission is
favorable to the jobbers." he exclaimed.
81 have another hundred to bet the
same way" spoke UP Jim Melvin of the
California fruit Gamers.
w. +. Lincoln, assistant general
freight agent of the Salt Lake road,
was about to take both bets when KEEL
Ter smiled The decision was then
produced and L. A. Bell of the Salt
Lake reached for the $50 to hand to
Chapman.
NO, I'll declare that bet off, said
Chapman. You people may. think l
knew of this decision. so we'll call it
square. I'm satisfied to win the de-
cision." But Keller went over to the
,afa hot nrd
from Anewalt and from Chambers and
notified Norton that he would be in in
a couple of days.
Later in the day Chapman evolved a
plan in which he hopes to regain more
than he lost by canceling the bet with
Gomph. He purposes assessing the
shippers of the city 10 per cent of what
they would have to pay the railroads in
spur track charges.
E. P. Goodwin, superintendent of the

Gossip Of RailWaymen

Orient to succeed Homer A. Stillwell
of Chicago, resigned.
That a railroad which accepts a
shipment of fruit to be transported to
another state over other roads can not
defend an action in a state court by
showing a bill of laiing worded to re-
liece the receiving railroad from liabil-
ity beyond it's own line has been de-
cided by the supreme court in the case
of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chica 60
and St Louis railway company VS.
Daniel J. Mitchell. Mitchell shipped a
carload of apples from Dunreith to
Smyrna, Fla. He prepaid the freight
but the railroad gave him a bill OF
lading limiting itself to damages on
its own road. The carload of apples
was delayed for 10 days en- route, and
the fruit was damaged beyond any pos
sible use on arrival.
Mitchell brought suit against the
railroad, and 1t defended by pleading
from liability. claiming that Mitchell
could not demand the benefit of the in
terstate commerce act in the state
court and that the state court had no
jurisdiction. etc.
Judge Meyers, in delivering the
opinion of the court, holds that the
state court has a right to grant -citi-
zen all his rights which may incident
ally involve federal statute, and that
1t is only when the federal statute Is
the foundation of the action that the
federal courts have exclusive jurisdic-
ton to construe them. The court holds
that If the shipper does not have an op-
portunity to ship under the common
law liability, the railroad can not set
np limited liability and impose ii
upon the shipper as his only chance OF
shipping.
F. G.. Wilde, general freight agent of
the Denver and Rio Grande, with head
quarters at Denver, is in the city for
