to consider terms of neaea. the tide
turned and practically the entire nation
united in demanding the selection of
Witte aa plenipotentiary. At the Ports
mouth conference he succeeded In gaining
terms under which Russia was not obliged
to pay a cash Indemnity to Japan. This
waa considered a remarkable achievement
and Wltte became a hero In hie own coun
try. The emperor rewarded him for his
services by appointing him a count
Rannorter of Jews.
Wltte throughout hla career waa re
garded as a supporter of the Jews. On
several occaaiona he made public utter
ance of hla belief that the govarnmenv
ahoutd cease Ita persecution ef the Jewe,
and after hla second marriage be exerteo

The oount'a second wife, whom ha mar.

finance, was a Jewess. She waa an ex
ceedingly clever woman and tortos have

It was one of Wltte'e ambitions after
hla eeoond marriage to secure social
recognition for hla wife. Thla waa m.

he experienced considerable difficulty In
forming a oablnet The liberal refused to
life a finger to aid nlm. At the eeoond
session ef his oablnet en November 11
a project waa considered foe placing the
Council of the Bmntre on an eleotlve
bast.
Thla was n difficult period In the In
ternal history of Russia. There were seri
ous labor troubles In all parts of the
empire. Serious threats on the part of
Poles to proclaim a revolution led Count
Wltte to advise the emperor to declare
martial law In Poland. Troope were em
ployed to quen dlsordera In varioua sec
tion of the country. Reports were current
that he had been condemned to death
by the anarchist. On November It the
premier made a personal appeal to work
man to return to their duties, but hie
effort a had no Immediate effect and the
workmen' s council broke off negotiations
with him two days later. On November
4, however, after an all-night aeasloa, the
council decided to end the strike.
The number ef enemlee of the premier

PARIS, March 13. Vice Admiral
Carden. commanding tha BriUah floet
operating aga'nst the Dardanellea,
haa expressed the opinion that the al
lies will be able to hammer their way
through the atraita before Easter, ac
cording to an Athena dispatch to the
Journal.
Operations of French and British war
ship against the fortlflcatlona at the
entranoa to the Dardanelles and In the
tlrat mine field on March 10 and 11, are
described In an official sU Cement Issued

"During the day of tha tenth, in bad
weather, two British warshlpa shelled
two forta at Bulair (on the Gal II noil
peninsula on the Oult f 8aroe), while
two other Hraish shlpa bombarded the

Th above dispatch would aeem to In
dicate that the allied fleet ha not pene
trated th Dardanellea a far a had
been supposed or that tha operation
against th Turkish fortification have
cot been entirely successful. Previous

narrowest part of th atraita had haen
successfully bombarded, that about a
third of th passaga had been cleared of

ROADS MUST PAY FULL VALUE
New Law Governing Settlement for
Goods Lost or Damaged in
Transit
CHANGES OLD CONTRACT RULE
(From a ptaff Correspondent )
WABfriNOTON. March 13. f pedal
Telegram.) One of the niort Important
measure which passed during the last
day of congress, which waa signed by
tha president Just before adjournment. Is
an amendment to the Interstate commerce
act known a the Cummlngs bill. Thla
measure Is of the utmost Importance to
every shipper In every section of the
country.
It haa been the custom of the rail
roads for many years In issuing a hill
of lading, to print on the back of the
document a rule or an agreement which
limits the liability of th railroad Com
pany In the event of loa or damage
to property In transit. The railroads also
limit tha liability for bagger to l0 for
each piece. The supreme court of th3
United State In two cases which were
decided last year, rendered an opinion
Sustaining th contention of the railroad
that their liability waa limited to their
own contract amount.
Bo that if shipper of caMle, for In
stance, from Wyoming or Western Ne
braska to Omaha ahould lose a carload
of steers, he could recover only the rail
road, company's valuation, which In the
case of prime stock, would mean about
one-fourth of the actual value of the
animal, or tV per bead. Congress took
hold of the matter,' and after a very
vtgorou fight an act haa been passed
which compel the rallroada to pay the
actual value of the goods lost, or dam
aged. This applies to all , rlarsea bf
freight.
