The Gallant CSbman,

Nothing perhaps produces quite SO
much wit from a cabman as a sense of
being underpaid, which in most cases
means that he has been justly paid. A
lady who had been guilty Of this kind
of justice experienced the usual sense

dropped her shilling and looked at her
speechlessly. She was weakly about
to add another sixpence when the cab

The most singular circumstance
about Arundel castle is that it's owner

Arundel in the peerage of England. II
is believed that there is no similar ex.

legal obstacle, were the house of How

ROOSEVELT IS T|RINC
OF BIG GAME HUNTING
viii Shortly Begin His Trip
Down the Nile.

Gondokoro, Soudan, Feb. 16.-The
advance guard of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt's hunting expedition has
arrived here and reports that the rest
of the party would reach here shortly
and after a stay of two days the trip
down the Nile to Khartoum will be
begun.
Sir Reginald Wingate,. sirdar of the
Egyptian army. has completed prep
arations for conveying Colonel Roose-
welt, Kermit Roosevelt and the sclen-
lists of the party down the Nile in his
steam launch, which is one of the
most commodious pleasure boats ON
the Nile. The trip to Khartoum will
be made by easy stages and will prob
ably take two weeks.
Those who came on ahead of the
main party say that Mr.. Roosevelt is
enjoying the present stage of his hunt
more than any other, but that he has
"about half his fill" of hunting for one
trip. While bidding farewell to the
officials Colonel Roosevelt gave an
intimation that he might return to
Africa some time.

Congress Making No Head
way With Legislation.
PRESIDENT ASKS RESULTS

Continues to Receive Assurances
From Republican Leaders, but This
Is Not satisfaetory-Urged by His
Friends to Call Senators to White
House and Press Upon Them the
Necessity for Greater Haste.
Washington, Feb. 16.-President Taft
is alarmed ove the situation in con.
gress and has recently expressed some
concern over the fate of his legislative
programme. He continues to receive
assurances from Republican leaders in
the house and senate that everything
is progressing satisfactorily, but the
president wants to be shown.
One of his pet measures is the bill
providing a new government for Alas.
ka. The president has been told that
unless he does some missionary work
among senators that this bill will fail
The same thing holds true on other
administration bills, the president has
been informed.
Mr.. Taft mas been urged by friends
to call senators to the White House
and urge upon them the necessity of
faster time in acting on administration
bills.
While no charge of bad faith has
been made against Senator Aldrich it
is known that Taft supporters believe
that he is not showing the interest in
administration bills that was expected
of him. The measures included in the
presidents programme that he insists
shall! be passed at the session are the
statehood and Alaskan bills and
measures offered by Senator Nelson
relating to conservation.

CHICAGO SWTCHMEN
WILL NOT STRIKE
Dispute to Be Settled by State
Board Of Arbitration.

Chicago, Feb. Rehabilitation OF
the differences between the railroa' u:
and the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men regarding wages for the 1000
men in yard service in Chicago has
been taken up by the state board Of
arbitration.
Three questions are to be arbi-
trated; An increase of 5 cents an
hour demanded by the men, time and
one-half for all time worked in excess
of ten hours a day and the right of
appeal to the highest officials of a
railroad where a workman is dis.
charged. Both sides have signed the
petition to the state board, which car
ries with it the assurance that no
lockout or strike shall take place
pending a decision, provided such de-
cision is given within three weeks Of
the filing OF the petition.
The case is attracting unusual at
tention among employers and work
ingmen, as it is the first instance
where employers and employees have
both consented to invoke the aid of
the state law in any important wage
dispute. Such application makes the
award compulsory on both sides for
six months and thereafter unless
either side gives the other notice in
writing that they will not be longer
bound by the decision.
After an award has been rendered
either party violating the terms is
liable to punishment for contempt of
court, provided that in no cas- such
punishment shall extend to imprison-

OPENS FIGHT ON
EXPRESS RATES.
Attorney General Of Mime.
sofa Begins Action.
MANY CARRIERS INVOLVED

Initial inquiry Is Directed Against the
WelIs-Fargo Company, but It Prom.
Uses to Be the Most Exhaustive In.
vestigation Ever Made In the United
-states-cut Of Twenty-Five Per Cent
Demanded.
st. Paul, Feb. 16.-Attorney General
George T. Simpson has filed a COM
plant with the railroad and ware
house commission charging the ex-
press companies of the state with de-
manding extortionate and unreason-
able rates.
This is the first move in the fight
of Minnesota against the express tar
if now in effect. The complaint fol-
lows a preliminary examination by
the railroad commissioners. This fight
win equal in Importance, 1t is said,
the freight rate probe now in progress.
This will be. the first exhaustive
investigation of the express rates ever
made in the United States,' said Mr..
Simpson. "It will bear to the express
companies the same relation the rate
Inquiry bears to the railroads"
The initial inquiry is directed
against the Wells-Fargo Express com
pany. The decision to do this was
arrived at in a conference some time
ago in New York. The Wells-Fargo
company was picked because 1t has
the largest mileage in the state,
Other Companies involved.
The companies against which com.
plant was filed are the Wells Fargo
Express company, the Adams Express
company. the American Express com.
pany. the Great Northern Express
company. the Northern Express com.
pany. the United States Express com.
pany and the Western Express com,
pany.
The complaint against the Wells.
Fargo company alleges that its rates
are unequal, unreasonable. discrim-
inatory and extortionate and that IS
per cent of each rate would be reason
able; that prior to Oct, Is, 1909. the
company adopted a certain graduate
scale and tariff known as Official ex.
press classification No. 49," and is now
using this rate and that each rate in
that schedule is ex~tortionate.
The petition asks that the commits.
sion establish a reasonable schedule
of rates. The complaints against the
other companies are similar.
