commerce commission. the Senate com

mittee to take up the same subject

The committee is giving serious con-
sideration to proposed plans for the regu-

ness Of fixing prices: and Senator New

England's Work in India.
From the West in the Easr

From the west In the East.
There are now in India over thirty
thousand miles of railway, more miles of
railway than has France, three times
more than Italy. as much as Austro-
Hungary and only six thousand miles
less than Germany. In 1857 there were
only three hundred miles Of railway.
What must have been the helplessness of
India In famine years. when there were
no means Of transportation. If England
had done nothing more. one must go slow
in criticising her. when these canals and
railways are remembered.
She alone has fought grim nature in
India with the resources Of science with
the result of a saving of millions of lives.
No other conqueror spent his time, en-
ergy, money and the lives Of his own
people in such enterprises. Nadir Shah
rode off with the millions. Other con-
querors did the same. England has poured
millions into India. and the indictments
are grumblng because she exacts in in
terest far fewer sovereigns than she has
saved lives Human beings at So a head
seem cheap enough!

GOV. MANN'S STAFF.
One Occasion When Col. Halsey Was
the Whole Thing.

Washington was represented the
staff of Gov. Mann of Virginia today
when 1t accompanied the chief executive
OF the Old Dominion to the celebrati ton at
Manassas, for Col. f.. A. HaIsey of this
city, nephew of the late Senator John w.
Daniel, is a member
The last time Gov. Mann ordered out
his staff was when he visited Fredericks-
burg. Va, the Fourth OF July. Some of
the twenty-five staff officers sent word
that they would be unable to be present
and were excused, but the governor con-
sidered that the presence of the dozen or
more who accepted the order would
add brilliance to the occasion.
When the chief executive alighted from
the train at the Virginia city on the morn
ing of Independence day and summoned
his staff he found him at his elbow,
for Col Halsey of Washington was the
staff entire and alone, Twenty-four
OF the twenty-five were missing. but 1t
was conceded that the staff" was there.
Indeed. in the published accounts of the
elaborate celebration that day much
space devoted to describing the
splendor of the governors staff" And
special mention was made in the SEIZED
ules of the parade of the governor and
his staff and the thousands on the
route of the parade saw the staff" when
Col Halsey rode by.
There is still talk In the Virginia city,
according to Washngtonians who have
recently returned from visits there, of
the fine showing made by the staff on that
day. Praise has been recorded in cold
type of the unanimity with which the
staff moved and executed the orders of
the governor and comment was made that
not a member of the staff was out OF
step with any other during the entire
celebration. not sword was drawn out
OF time with any other. not salute was
out OF unison.
And when an alarm of fire was sound
| ed when the parade was on the march
| the governors staff, in epaulets and gold
| lace and winter uniform, remained with
the governor in the middle of a street un-
| shaded from the broiling Independence
| day sun. The staff was nothing If i,

day. 1t is reported.
When the last skyrocket had blackened

his attentions throughout the day.
