PORTRAYED IN WIFE's LETTERS.

What has not been 80 until now, ono
might deem, is the story or tho inner
man. Of that real Alexander tho En-
press Catherine had loved, though their
characters we're go diametrically op-
posed 20 each other: Of the man whom
his wife, the delicate, exquisite Liise-
Msrie-Auguste of Baden Empress
Elizabeth Alexicvna) fairly idoliz"d
throughout their at times sadly stormy
life. and who. until Grand Duke Mich
olas- Mikolaivltz wrote of her, was one
OF the most solf-cfaccd and little
known imperial women that ever lived.
r. one must reach that true Aleksander
there is but one way to do go, and that
is through his wife's long continued
and continual correspondence with her
mother the Hereditary Princess Of
Baden.
Married 10 her in 1898, when the
radiant little creature was but four
teen. Aleksander won her heart, her
faith, and her loyalty once and for
ever. This profound attachment sur
v'yed neglect, iridcllty, and even that
worst of all treatments, an apparently
complete forgetfulness Of her very OK
istencc. And yet during all those years
Of suffering the Empress wrote on and
on 10 her mother about her Emperor
as though no fault could ever be i'm
puted 10 him.
Nothing could be more touching than
these letters glowing with pride what
ever Aleksander did. all excepting
those pages where her bette noir." Ma
poeon ]. was mentioned. IAN upstart
an impostor, n villain, the very sight
of whom should make every honest
woman veil her face with shame, and
every wife, sister, and mother of sons
feel like killing him with her two bare
hands" Thus wrote tho gentle Eliz-
abetl the gracious lady who. little by
little. step b. patient step. at last
gained her husbands full and complete
confidence. and who brought herself to
synpathi2e with him 10 so great a
degree that she actually consoled him
for the death If one OF his illegitimate
children.
nc suffered so" she naYvely wrote
her mother. who wrote back TO this
extraordinary daughter of hers that she
was fool. and in sler heart knew her
TO be saint. Very nearly so, certainly,
FOR when, tired and weary, her En-
peror" came altogether back to her. she.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-"Inter-
state commerce week" will be oh

United States beginning Monday.
Practically all of the questions to be
argued that week are connected with
railroad or steamship traffic.

) shown that the railroad concerned

vas held by Judge Speer Of Georgia
nat the posting of the regular rates

This ruling occurred in the indict-

RS Transportation company, jointly
with the Seaboard Air Line and with
tho Atlantic Coast line.
Another case is the quarter century
fight Of Cincinnati shippers for low
er rates to Chattanooga and the
south. In 1894 shippers INDUCED the
interstate commerce commission to
order "A sharp reduction of rates over
the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Tex
as Pacific road from Cincinnati to
Chattanooga. Courts held that the
commission could not fix a future
rate. Later when this power was
'onferred upon it the commission re-
'uced first class rates to 20 cents,
nd held that while a demand for
0 cent rate might be reasonable on
. road direct to Chattanooga IT would
OF be so on the Louisville and Nash
lille and connecting lines. Further
more, the commission held that to re-
luce the rate to 60 cents might make
neQuitable certain rates from Mem
phs to Chattanooga and to Atlanta,
