( r Admiral Train, Commander-in-Chief of the Asiatic squadron station, report­ ed to the Navy Department at Wash­ ington that the Russian hospital ship Orel had put into Saigon, c'ochin OlSf!*, na, with all the sick of Admiral Rojest- Yjensky's fleet, which lie took to be an indication that the Russian Admiral is expecting a battle in the near future. The publication was an error of judgment' on the part of a young offi­ cer. When his superiors arrived they immediately took «teps to assure them­ selves that nothing further should reach the public. Rass'ia^vould have a right to regard ttie publication of such official reports as an unfriendly act on the part of the United States. Furnishing of copies of such messages to the Japanese legation CQjald hardly be considered as any moi>€>..reprehen­ sible. ( There is iro doubt but that the Jap­ anese legation has already sent the substance of the i« ess age to Tokio, whence it will be sent to Admiral Togo. It-may not be lyews, to' h'ini; but them again, it might. In the event that it is, it" will dbUbtlegs be wel­ come - **;' ""V; • ... .The unofficial reports saying that the Orel landed wounded Russians rs not believed at Washington. The im­ pression is that Rojestvensky is -mere­ ly ridding his fleet of the car^ of the sick, so that all his surgeons and hos­ pital facilities may Ix/used for service in attending the rnoi wounded during the impending battle. Rojestvensky has "been in the tropics so /long that his sick list is probably large. Each man requires some part of the attention of a m^ml^er of ,the hospital fofee: hence it |sj^e .part of wisdoA for the admiral to send him ashore if possible before he becomes burdened witty wounded. Saigon bis the best place to send them, as the ^rench have there a fine naval hospitaj. and, besides, ther sym­ pathy of France in this war has been so pronouncedly on the side of Russia that, if everything else were equal, the' French port is the one that would be chosen in thie event that a choice Were, possible. " 7 - . • . - The only 'surprise is that the hospi­ tal ship did not put into Saigon soon­ er. According to reports heretofore j published, the Russian fleet has gone so far toward Japan that the Orel must hav6 turned back in order tp make Saigon. But that may be ac­ counted for by the suggestion that Rojestvensky expected to, encounter Togo before this and that he was un­ willing to have^his hospital ship away from the fleet while it seemed prob­ able the expected engagement might take place any moment. In discussing the war situation in the event of the destruction of the Jap­ anese fleet by the Russians, naval and army officers lay stress upon the fact that such an outcome would not only entirely change the situation and make it more favorable to Russia, but they attach even greater importance to the impending battle. Captain Samuel W. B. Diehl, the judge advdcate of the navy, discussing the situation, said: "It will be a great battle that will be watched with interest bv naval, officials everywhere. It would be worse than foolish to predict ho«- the battle will be fought or what will be the out- coiHSfce- Those not near the scene of prospective operations can know noth­ ing about the strength of the respec­ tive fleets. All depends upon the con­ dition of the vessels of the contemn­ ing fleets. "The Japanese are great~strategists, and I do not believe they will engage the Russians far from the coast of Japan, if it is possible to bring on the battle near a Japanese base. I imag­ ine the Russians will force the fight­ ing. as the information we have indi­ cates that their fleet is much stronger than the Japanese. It is certain that j Admiral Rojestvensky is not afraid of a ftght, because he has gone to the China sea, where he is likely to meet the enemy. Such conduct on the part of a commander always pleases naval officers and challenges their- admira-. tion." l.aj. 'Gen. George L. Gillespie, a?- s-istant to the chief of staff of the army and formerly chief of engineers, sai<?: " "If the Russians destroy the Japa­ nese fleet they will have complete control of the sea, and the Japanese wil find it difficult to maintain com­ munications .with, its army and keep i t supplied with rations, i "It has been suggested that the army of Japanese would be able to live off the country for a long period, because of the frugality of the-men. F do not agree with this proposition at - ail. ' Manchuria has been" com­ pletely swept of all vegetation, and there is jn.othing left which would fur­ nish sustenance. The future will pre­ sent more difficulties in this direction, because the country is completely overrun with soldiers of* both coun­ tries, and there will be great trouble in growing any crops this year." Boun{J for Vladivostok. No news throwing light on th© movement of the fleets of Vice Ad­ mirals ^Rojestvensky and Togo has been received at London, but, accord­ ing to a statement made by one of the doctors on board the Russian hos-. pita! ship Orel at Saigon; the ships of the Baltic squadron were going to Vladivostok. April 11 being the last day the Russian vessels were sighted, it is the general opinion in London that. Rojestvensky' has changed Iits course, possibly to the eastward, as otherwise it is considered certain the fleet would again have been sighted' passing steamers. . HIDDEN PUZZLE PICTURE.

FACTOR II MIL RATES Panama Raad Contracts Give Monopoly to Steamship Companies. * COMPETITION IS WIPED OUT Agreements With Ocean Lines Affect Freight Charges On Transcontinent­ al Railroads in Unitecl States, Ac­ cording to Mr. ^Bristow's Report. .Washington dispatch: The ex­ ecutive part of the government of the United States soon will be making transcontinental railroad rates for the big railroads without waiting for con­ gress to grant authority to the inter­ state commerce conimission to do so. James L. Bristow, formerly fourth as­ sistant postmaster general, who has been inquiring into the subject of freight rates via the Panama railway, has made a preliminary report to Sec- cetary Taft which brings the matter of rate* making directly before^ the government. Mr. Bristow, who was sent South two months ago, found that there is sucb an intimate relation between the rate* made by the Panama Railroad company and the steamship lines, which it owns, or with which it has contract relations, that changes in its rates have such' an effect upon the rates of the transcontinental railroads that they may be said to be a control­ ling factor in" matters relating to rates between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States. Pacific Shipping Trust. Another fact discovered by Mr. Bris­ tow which he communicated to Mr. Taft is that there is a shipping trust on the Pacific ocean that is in as fine working order as the Standard Oil. The members of the trust are the Pa­ cific Mail Steamship company, the Chilian Steamship company and the Pacific Steam Navigation company. The latter is a British corporation. sThis shipping trust, Mr. Bristow found, maintains identicai^rates to all competitive points, and they are uni­ formly high. At present the railroad company practically excludes all freight from the privileges of railroad transit across the isthmus* not carried,by the Pacific Mail and its allies on the Pa­ cific and by the steamers on the At­ lantic owned by the railroad company. . \ Have Exclusive Rates. Mr. Bristow found that if the rail­ road is opened to the free use of all steamers that may touch at Panama, or Colon rates on all traffic will prob­ ably be materially affected. Rates on the railroad have been cut since the government obtained control, but the cut has not affected rates in the Unit­ ed States, for the reason that the ex­ clusive arrangements with the steam­ ship companies are still in existence. These facts put the question of rates squarely before the executive branch of the government. Notice has been given to the Pacific Mail that it's contract, will not' be renewed a few months hence. Sepks to Secure Monopoly.* The company has,already proposed a new sirrangement, that is new in appeafance, but which if entered into will continue the monopoly. Its prop­ osition is tha,t the Panama Railroad company limit its through rate busi­ ness to vessels of American register. As it is the only American line in that grade, the contract, would not change Man Dies on Grave.

"'7 r - "• While secretary Taft has not come to a conclusion, his inclination is to tavor having the Panama railroad treat all shippers and all steamers ali^e. But in order that this, may be done, itj will be necespary to double-track the railroad and enlarge the docks at Panama and Colon. -4 DR, GLADDEN ASSERTS ALL BOOTY IS WELCOME Minister Takes Parting Shot at For* eign Missions Board for Accepting Gift From John D. Rockefeller. Columbus special: "The pirate or the train robber may bring his booty to the treasury of the American board and it will be thankfully received, and if sufficiently large will be described as a 'magnificent gift.'" This parting shot at the prudential comi'nittee of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was fired, by Rev. Washington Glad­ den, when informed that the commit­ tee bad taken final action accepting the Rockefeller gift of $100,000. "By the decision," continued Dr. Gladden, "the prudential committee rejects the word of Him who said, 'I hate robbery for burnt offerings,' and reverses the ethical judgment re­ specting the rewards of iniquity which has guided Christendom hitherto. It openly proclaims that money to which the giver has no mpral right may be rightfully given to a missionary soci­ ety if only his motive is to do -good with it, and it assumes the power of judging the motive of the giver. It knows and declares to the world that there can be no motive but that of benevolence in the bestowal of this gift. "That is a great testimony from such a high authority. From this de­ cision the appeal will now be taken t) the conscience of the Congrega­ tional churches and the conscience of Christendom."

"If the statistics of the lobster fishery gathered by this com­ mission," ttfb board says, "gave any encouragement of an increase of abundance this would be cause for satisfaction. Unfortunately, however, the contrary is true,, for the figures sliow . conclusively the same decad­ ence of supply that has characterized the 'lobster fishery for many years. The outcome, the commercial extinc­ tion of the lobster, is as sure to result as da? is to follow night." " Chokes on Ffree" Lunch.

Washington special: Official notn exchanged by Minister Bowen and /?7resident Castro, which were received Tuesday at the state department, in­ dicate that the former was blunt, even ctirt„4n his ultimatum demanding the arbitration of various disputes pending between the United States and Venezu­ ela, and that £he latter answered in the same vein. The correspondence shows Mr. Bow- en's position in Caracas is extremely embarrassing; Neveitheless, he will not be withdrawn at once, though when the president returns to Wash­ ington it is expected he will be trans­ ferred to another post. In his cable report of President Castro's reply Mr. Bowen character­ ized the tone of the communication as iiiipertinent. What Castro did say was that "the United States must respect the dignity of the Venezuelan courts," and he said it as emphatically as the Spanish language could make it. Stand by Bowen. President Roosevelt left Washington# with a good idea of Castro's attitude, but the text of Bowen's note was not known, so judgment could not be passed upon his action. The state de­ partment officials excuse Minister Bowen on the ground that his position has been a difficult one, as a result of the hostile policy of Castro towards him. At the same time, it is believed the suggestion of Dr. Paul that the re­ lations of the two countries would be improved if another minister was ap­ pointed, may have some basis of fact. It is not intended by the president to disgrace or humiliate Minister Bowen, and he certainly will get a post as good, if not better, than that which he has at present; and the president will be Informed that the United States has no intention of retracting a single Etatement Minister Bowen has made. A Venezuelan diplomat has deceived a letter from an official at Caracas, in which the statement is made that President Castro's answer was digni- iied and not impertinent or impudent. Mr. Bowen's characterization of the president's note as offensive, therefore, has added another objection so far as Venezuela is concerned to his con­ tinuance as American minister at Car­ acas. A letter from Caracas also states that Mr. Bowen is blamed for all the trouble that has passed and still exists. Reports made by Mr. Bowen concern­ ing the internal situation are declared to have been colored with the delib­ erate intention of creating a false im­ pression in this country. a_ SLAY TWO MINERS STRIKERS in Two MerT Killed and Many Hurt Riot at Hibbing, Minn.

Sixth Sense in Birds. In the animal kingdom the birds seem to be really the class highly favored by nature, says the New Cen­ tury Path. Though vthey are not placed near the summit to the line of evolution, their ability to fly marks them off as having some advantages ov^r nearly all the mammalia. Their mysterious power of changing their polarity or weight, in order to dive in water pr soar in air, has often been discussed, and the almost incredible velocity of their motion when migrat­ ing, sometimes amounting to four miles a minute for vast distances, has no parallel among other animals. >>And now a series of careful trials with carrier pigeons are reported from France, showing, apparently without doubt, their possession of a highly de­ veloped sense of direction. It was supposed that homing pigeons depend­ ed upon sight to find their way, but these new experiments have been con­ ducted between Ceremes and Eoann in the darkness of night. In twenty minutes the first bird, dispatched at 30 p^ m., reached its roost, a distance of seventeen miles being traversed. Half of the number arrived before midnight, and the remainder followed in a few hours. A Wonderful Discovery, Broadland, S. Dak., April 17.--Quite a sensation has been created here by the publication of the story of G. W. Gray, who after a special treatment for three months was prostrate and helpless and given up to die wit Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease hate always been considered incurable, buc evidently from the story told by Mr. Gray, there is a remedy which will cure it even in the most advanced stages. This is what be says: "I was helpless as a little babe. My. wife and I searched everything and read everything we could find about Bright's Disease, hoping that I would be able to find a remedy. After .paany failures my wife insisted that I should try Dodd's Kidney Pill®.
