It lies in a high, dry, healthy country three hundred miles by water from the sea, and as you will see by the plan, on one of the finest rivers in the world" The estate dates back to 1874 when Lord Culpepper conveyed to Nicholas Spencer and Lieutenant-Colonel John Washington five thousand acres of land.

OUTLINES SYSTEM ON
ALL RAILROADS

GContiDued From First Pagel
that regulation of Interstate commerce
by the federal government should not in
wade the rights of the States but merely
carry out the express purpose of the
constitution. He said: "It was not the
PURPOSE of the railroads to inaugurate
a policy of abolition or construction
of State commissions and that he be-
lieved they would occupy a large field
of usefulness. But vesting the federal
government with the regulating power
would make it more business like by
removing it from the influence of local
policies and politics"
1T would furnish" said Mr.. Thorn,
"a surer basis for the confidence of
the investing public, because more re-
lance would be put upon the judgment
of the whole nation as affecting q
matter of nationwide consequence than
could be placed in the varying judgment
of different local authorities but it will
be necessary to go much farther than
merely simplifying and concentrating
regulation.

Sturmer Resignation Marks
Victory of Public Opinion
Over Antagonistic Interests

Petrograd. Nov. 24.-The resignation
of Boris VIadimirovitch Sturmer, as
premier and foreign minister, which
became known to-day with the an
nouncement of the appointment of NJ.
Trepof as premier. had long been ac-
cepted as an inevitable outcome of the
struggle between the present cabinet
and the Duma. 1t caused no more than
mild surprise, and tnis was due less to
the event itself than the rapidity with
which the situation matured since the
definite break between the Duma and
the government.
1t is almost impossible to over estim-
ate not only the political but TIL ma
tional significance of the Huma victory
since for the first time in history Rus
sian public opinion is considered to have
triumphed over influences which were
regarded as entagonistic to good gov
ernment.
Nj. Trepoffs appointment to the post
of prime minister is greeted with salts
faction by the newspapers which. how
ever, express the opinion that this is
only the first step toward carrying out
the program which is dictated by pres
ent political necessities.

Deportations Of Belgians
Worse Than First Invasion,
Munitions Minister Writes

Havre, Nov. 25. - Emile Wander
velde, minister of munitions in the
Belgian cabinet and president of the
executive committee of the Interna-
tional Association OF Socialists, has
written to the members of the commit
tee concerning the deportations of
Belgian workingmen to Germany, in
part, as follows:
I'VE might have believed that after
submitting to invasion with its vio-
lences and occupation, with it's mis-
cries our people had suffered all that
people could suffer, but worse was
still to come. Despairing of being able
to keep that which it had taken in dis
regard of its faith and its word. the
German government appears deter
mined to treat the Belgians as the
conquered were treated in the age of
Assyria and Babylon.
1--WE receive every day at IIayre
messages which make our henr,s
bleed The deportations in FLANDERS.
at Charleroi, at Mons and in the Iare-
est part of the country are more num-
erous and agonizing. The men arc OF
every age and condition, but particu-
larly youths and workingmen.
