"WABH1NQTON, Nov. 27. (Bpeclal.)-Th
8t. Louis exposition will close next week
and another chapter In the hlatory of great
financial sacrifices for the benefit of Amer
ican commeice will have been written. Of
all the great "World' faira" held In thla
country In the last thirty years that In
BL Louis was the greatest In extent and
the moat disastrous for Ita financial back
ers, beginning with Philadelphia in 1S7
and ending with St. Louis In lo. there
have been held in the last three decades
nine of these . International expositions,
namely: Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chi
cago, NasTivllle. Atlanta. Omaha, Buffalo,
Charleston and St. Louis. With the single
' exception ot the Trunsmleslsslppl expo-
aitlon In Omaha In ll each and everyone
. of these great fairs entailed large finan
cial loss upon the men who furnlshej the
' funds for tholr establtshrren:. Omaha's
exposition was not too large for the ter
rltory and, although In operation during
i the yosr. ot th Spanish war It shines out
ki..as th one American exposition which most
' nearly approached a financial success.
There are two other "World's fairs" on
, the program of national events. Tha "Lewis
" and Clark" exposition In Portland,' Ore.,
next year and the celebratlvi of the SOOth
anniversary of the settlemer.t of Virginia
In Jamestown tha year following. Govern
ment aid has been extended to both and
each wll! doubtless proe a great attraction
for tin local people, but neither la ex
pected to draw big crowds from ths coun
. try t large.
Railroad Plaa a Show.
One other exposition Is In contemplation
which promises to ba unique In the ex- j
treme If the plans of Its projectors are I
vmiivu um a ma iv no ivmm uium
railroad show right here at the capital of
the nation. Unlike all others, thla expo
sition will ask not a dollar of government
'. aid. In tact It la not Intended to even
. form a stock compa.iy. The plan Is ' to
simply ask congress for authority to us
vacanflantlo awuth ot the "whlu lot" and
th "monument grounds" for a period of
-ji' ) 4hAe on four (tnorths. If that consent Is
j i ' granted there will be brought' to Washing
ton for exhibit here about everything In
a'.Ule way ot railroad appliances thst- have
'jiver been used on the railroads of the
.sV.ntry. There will bo engines of all
"'types, steam and electric, cars of all de-
acrlptlors, from the old-fashioned "flat"
and the " gondola" up to the most luxurl-
, t oua vt the "private palace" variety,
y , Swltchw, frogr, ' ties, signal appliance,
brakes, couple a. condensers, injectors, and
'. the thousand and oni devlce.1 which form
' th stock-in-trade of the rallroal appli
ance men will be on exhibition. In fact,
It the plan of the projector of the show
at carried out theM will be brought to
Washington the mot comprehensive and
' 'J' complete railroad equipment ever shown
- a,t on time In thq world.
Th project has met wltr. the most
hearty approval ot railroad men and man
' ufacturers throughout th country, and
- no possible doubt exists as to the success
of th enterprise. This Is not to be a
money making show In any sense of the
, "word. "Th Idea is simply to bring to
. .. gather everything offered for sale to rail
road builders 'and railroad managers which
could possibly Interest them, and naturally
the manufacturer are eager to aelse the
opportunity to display their products un
der such advantageous circumstanced The
Railroad exposition will be- the most unique
affair of the kind ever projected In this
or-any other country, and it Is only rea
sonable to believe that congress wil! grant
the necessary authority for th use of the
-grounds.
Right Maa for the Place,
1 It Is doubtful If the president ever made
a more appropriate appointment than thnt
of Francis E. Leupp to be commissioner of
Indian affairs. M Leupp, who has been
th correspondent here of the New York
Evening Poat for the last fifteen ysais.
has made a careful study of the Indian
problem and h la recognised aa an au
. t thorlty upon all subjects pertaining to the
welfare of the red man. He has unsel
flshly devoted his time end talents to the
'advancement In civilisation of the abor
igines and haa been a valiant champion
of their rights before congress and the
departmenta. For years Mr. Leupp was
connected with orgsnlsatloni , established
to secure, them their rights, and during
President McKlhley's term he was hp.

Mr. Leupp was one of the foundera of

One of the first result of the official visit
of Assistant Secretary of State Pelrce to
the American consulate In Europe and
Asia will be a decided change In the per
sonnel of the United States Consular corps.
Mr. Pelrce discovered officially what so
many travelera have found out for them
selves, namely that In morals and In
tegrity the consular corps la capable of
great Improvement. It la a well known
fact that ever alnce this country sent
commercial representative abroad politi
cal services have governed eelectlona more
frequently than absolute, fltnea. The re
sult has been that In tha past the Ameri
can consul haa frequently do.no far more
harm than good to this country, There
are known Instances where a consul with
a bad reputation has so Impressed hi per
sonallty upon the people among whom he
served that hla successors have been un
able after years of faithful service to undo
the great damage created. Mr. Pelrce did
not start out on a "junket" When he began
hi tour of Inspection. He went for the
purpose of obtaining absolute facia and
the Information which he presented to 4he
president upon his return ha convinced the
latter that there la a wide field for Im
provement and Mr. Roosevelt Is the man
to carry out th roforma which are shown
to be necessary. v
Durla; the next few months, and ei
peclally during the extra session of th
senate in March, there wilt be a greut
many changes In the consular force. Eve. y
man whose record Is clouded will ba r
moved, no matter how - Influential hla
"backing" may be. . Of course there will
be a protest from senators who have po
litical frlenda In the lis whom they.de
Ire to retain, no matter how unworthy
but Mr. Roosevelt Is determined that his
administration shall be marked for Its re
form In thla Important branch of tht fed
eral servlc and the men who are on Mr.
Pclrce's "little list" will havo to step down
and out no matter how influential their

(From a Staff t'orresixindent.)
DES MOINES, Nov. I7.-(Specsl lov
ernor A. B. Cummins returned from Wash
Ington this week fairly delighted with hi
Interview with President Roosevelt, an
with what he siw end heard at tha rm
tlonal capital en political inntters, as well
as pleased with his final success In th
matter of the Inscriptions on the Bhlloh
monuments. Aa was stilted In advance o
his going and stated ninny times, the gov
ernor went to Washington by appolntmen
especially to appear there on behalf of th
veterans of Iowa regiment which fought
at Bhlloh. He also had an appointment
along with Governor Van Bunt and others,
to present to the president the matter of
proposed amendments to the Interstate
Commerce law. Incidentally, not only the
president, but many others, talked with
him about tariff readjustments, and he
reiterated to one and all his well known
sentiments which have been called "the
Iowa Idea" In politics.
"If I am not In error," he said, "the one
great question that mill be uppermost in
congress the coming winter will be that
of federal control of railroad freight rates
I would not feel at liberty to spenk further
of our interview with the president than
to say that it was entirely satisfactory an
that In the hour that we- had with the
president we talked over the matter very
fully. He manifested great Interest in the
subject. I qan only auggest that those who
are Interested In the subject should make
note of his message and see for themselves
what the president thinks on the subject.
It Is not a new subject at all. I have
advocated this very thing on every occa
slon where It was pertinent, and my views
have been very clearly stated a number of
tlmea in the last few years. It Is useless
to deny that In the operation of railroads
competition haa been wholly eliminated. I
stated to the president, as I stated at
Dubuque and elsewhere, that while there
Is great competition In getting business
among railroads there Is no competition In
rate making. The power to mike rates
has been placed in the hands of a few
persons. It Is true here, as It has ever
been true In ell audi canes, that where
th power to make prices or rates is en
tlrely In the hands of one of the Interested
parties exclusively that power Is abused.
Buch power over the commerce of the
country cannot be safely entrusted to an
Interested body. With competition elimi
nated, rates must be adjusted by law. The
proposition Is so simple and ao conserva
tive that I am surprised that railroad men
should oppose It. In fact, I know a great
many railroad men who, as Individuals
believe this the proper solution of the
matter.
Borden on railroads.
"What is wanted In the way of legislation
is that the power to revise and regulats
rates shall be placed In th hands of somp
federal authority. If rates are found to
ba exorbitant thern should be authority to
fix reasonable rates and to put them into
force Immediately. Let the burden of show
ing them to be unreasonable be upon the
railroad companies. If It remains tor the
Individual shipper to appeal to the courts
and go through long and expensiv litiga
tion the power will be of no .advantage
at all.
."Statistics will show that In the last four
or Ave years, with the rate making entirely
In the hands of Interested persona, the net
revenua of the railroads of the United
States has been Increased 40 per cent, and
this at a time when the mileage has in
creased only about 4 per cent. Now, this
does not prove that the railroads are get
ting 40 per cent too much for their service,
but It doe show the enormous power which
Is exercised somewhere in the matter of
exactions from the people for transporta
tion service."
In regard to the necessity' for making an
Inquiry into the tariff schedules and for
entering upon a revision to removo the
manifest inequalities of the tariff. Governor
Cummins returned more enthusiastic than
ever before for that, which he haa been
advocating so long and so earnestly in
Iowa and elsewhere. His feelings arequlte
different from what they were six months
ago, when Iowa standpatters were threaten
ing to annihilate him politically for refus
ing to subscribe to their doctrine of the
absolute sacrednesj of the present sch!dus
and were heaping abuse upon him for being
tanrt ripper- because tie wanted the
republican party to make a plain declara
tion In Its platform In favor of entering
upon the work of revision of schedules at
a deflnlt time. . (
"Tariff revision is In the atmosphere,"
said the governor, "ic la all the talk at
Washington and In the east. I was fairly
overwhelmed with inquiries In regard to
the subject. It was not necessary for me
to state my views. ' They are well known
to everyone. I am now and have been
right along In favor of revision. But news
paper men and politicians swarmed about
to talk It over and to know what sugges
tions I would make. It Is what everyons
Is talking about. And it is coming. The
only question Is aa to whether it ahall be
taken up at a apeclul session or not.
, Chan; of Sentiment.
"It Is almost surprising how the opinion
ha become urianlmous that ths work which
havs ao long urged should be entered
upon. If there is anybody in Washington
'standing pat' on the tariff schedules he Is
keeping pretty still about it. The beat re
publican newspapers have joined in the de
mand for It with unanimity. For Instance
there Is the New York Tribune, one of the
most conservative newspapers ot the coun
try, up to the present time thoroughly com
mitted to the stand pat doctrine, coming
out squarely In favor of a program which
Includes entering upon revision of the
tariff schedules. All the great republican
newapapers ot the east, unless possibly It
Is the New York Sun, have come over to
the revision aide. I have not had access
generally to the newspapers of the west
the past Week, but In Chicago the Tribune,
the Record-Herald and the Chronicle are
all out for revision. The Chronicle, when
It made Its flop, became at once moat rabid
of th stand pattera, but lo, even the
Chronicle la now declaring that something
must be done.
"The whole sentiment at Washlngton
seems to be that tha tariff la going to be
revised. There are differences of opinion
at this stage as to where to begin, for no
deflnlt plan hav been worked out, but
they all recognise that It will not do to
stand still and do nothing. When Secretary
Shaw Is quoted as saying that we must
revise some of th tariff schedules it Is
very plain that th whole stand pat pro
gram haa been abandoned. The republican
party haa full responsibility now,
It Is
able enough and courageous enough to take
up the work which lies before It and to
remedy the defects In the luw which hve
become obvious by reason ot the chunging
conditions."

INDIANAPOI.IB, Nov. 27 The findings

vestigate charges that General Carnahan
showed favoritism In the awarding of drill
prises at the conclave held at Louisville
August 15 to 29, have been received by
General Carnahan from Supreme Chan
cellor Bhlvely of Richmond.
The findings and opinions made public
tonight hold that General Carnahan Is In
nocent of alt the charges. The court made
ten findings of fact, and rendered a find
Ing as follows:
In the opinion of the court the action on
ths part of Major General James R. Car-
nHtian, to-wit:
That he was prejudiced
that he tried to
Influence- the Judges In their decisions; that
he or anyone else reported the findings of
the Judges otherwise than as made by
said Judges; that he change the time for
the award of the. prises; thst he in any
manner, at any time or In any place sought
to Injure the standing of the Elwood, lnd.,
company, finds that each and all of said
charges are false and alsnderous and with

The court Is of the opinion that the com
plaints of unfnlrness and prejudice against

wholly without foundation In fact and are
untrue; thst the failure of his company to

PLAN'S NEW POLITICAL PARTY
M. I. Harrington Outlines Schema for Or
, gtnirin'r; Opposition t Bf publicans.
CHARGES AGAINST BOTH OLD PARTIES
Says with Co-operation of Bryan,
Hearst, Folk and l.aFollette the
Proposed Movement Will
Be Sare to Win.
(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 27. (Special.)
M. F. Harrington wants a new political
party organised to take the place of the
various organisations that are opposed to
the principles of the republican party. In
the Independent this week, In answer to
a query, "What Populists Should Do?" he
preswts a lengthy argument In favor of
a new party and advances the following
principles for which he says a large num
ber of people will stand:
First The national ownership and opera
tion of the railroads and teicgrapn Hues of
the country.
Second 'i he national ownership of enough
coal and other mines to prevent monopoly
and to accord Independent iluxeim n op
portunity to acquire the raw material aa
advantageously as the trust acquires them.
Third Postal savings biihks.
Fourth A graduated Income tax.
Flfih A graduated inheritance tax.
Blxth Local application in the states of
the principles of initiative and referendum,
with, a subsequent application to our na
tional anairs should experience In the
states prove such extension desirable.
Seventh The issue of all money by the
federal government without the Interven
tion of any bank.
Eighth Compulsory primaries.
Charge Against Old Partlea.
In his article Mr. Harrington charges that
the republican party is owned by the cor
porations and that the democrats are in
the same class. He cites James E. Boyd
Lee Herdman, James E. Kelly, Lee Sprat
Un and George L. Miller as democrats,
and says he would no more co-operate with
them In politics than he would with John
11. Mickey, John Baldwin, Charles F. Mand
erson, B. T. White or J. H. Ager. In con
eluding Mr. Harrington aald:
I fully recognise thnt It is hard work to
build up a new organisation without the
assistance ot Mr. iiryan and Mr. Hearst,
and my hope is that those sentiemen may
finally realize that retorm can best be
accoiupllsned through a new organisation
If we had in this new movement Hryan
Hearst, Folk and LaFollctte its ultimate
success would not be In doubt. LaKonettd
has accomplished a great work In Wis
consin In tne mutter ot railroaU taxes and
a primary election law. He haa now protv
abiy secured the necessary power In the
legislature to secure a reduction in freight
rates. This Is the end of the state refurius
for which he has been contending, and
when these are secured the agitation will

Judge Wall Not a Candidate.
Judge Aaron Wall of Loup City came to
Lincoln last night and secured a stay of
execution In the caso wherein William
Krons of Sherman county had been sent
enced to the penitentiary for two yearn on
a charge of arson. As soon as the jury
returned its verdict of guilty Judge Wall
hustled for Lincoln, secured the order from
Chief Justice Holcomb and stopped the
sheriff's trip to the penitentiary.
Judge Wall, who was re-elected senator
at the late election, said he had been so
busy- with matters in court that he hud
not looked over the political field very
closely and had no Idea of the organlza
tlon of the senate. The name of the Sher
man county man has frequently been men
tloned for president of the senate, but he
Intimated last night that he would not
stand In the way of the ambition of Senator
Fries, his neighbor, who is an aspirant for
(he place.

Last night as Miss J, Furman and Miss
Roach were returning to the home of Mlsa
Roach on East hill from the Fraternity
building, where there had been an enter
tainment, they noticed that a man was
following them, and did not think much
of it until the man quickened his foot
steps and then they walked faster and.
seeing that he was attempting to catch
them, they commenced to run, and not
until they opened the door at the Roach
home did he cease trying to catch them.
Tha mysterious man Is described as be
ing of medium height and weight, wearing
a long, gray overcoat and a slouc- hat.
The offlcllH of the city believe the have
a clue to the Identity and are following
the same, hoping to learn beyond a ques
tion of a doubt the guilt of the party
and an arrest will follow.

SENATOH RICHARDS INTERVIEWED
Richardson Coaaty Man Will Pnsh
Legislation for Good Roads.
HUMBOLDT, Neb., Nov. -7 (Special.)
Senator-elect Eugene A. Tucker of the
First d strict Is out in an interview In which
he gives his views of the work to be per
formed by the coming session of the Ne
braska legislature. Mr. Tucker says:
This being my first term, I hurdly know
the length of time It will require to trans
act the necessary business. There will be
a L'nlted States senator (o elect, but us
the renubllcans nt the last state convention
heartily endorsed the candidacy of Con
gressman Burkett. which action has been
ratified by the voters at the polls, it ought
to take but a short time to elect the sena
tor. Of course, there will be ths necessnry
appropriations to be made, and I am In
favor of keeping these down to the mini
mum the actual necessities of conducting
th Rffairs of the state. The new 'fvenue
law has received the heart v approval of
the voters of the state, yet there are some
necessarv amendments, which I heartily
favor and hop will be mad. But the mat
ter which strikes me as being of the great
est Importance is the ouestlon of good
roads and such legislation as will insure
to the people of ths state better ruads
without eirendln a larae amount of
mooev. I suggested during the campaign
that If the Ihw could be i amended thst
there would be but ons roHd overeer to
each township (outside cities and villages),
whose dnlv It should be to carefully tike
car of the roads In the entire township.
It would certainly b an Imnrovement ovr
tho nresent arrangement. Sufficient funds
should be provided to keep the ruads of
the townshlo In repair and the nver.
should be Instructed each year to build five
niilas of permanent road of proper width
and at an established grade.
Ths senator-elect goes further, and sug
gests that th voters of hla home county
(Richardson) m, t , r1y dte In vnw
convention at f.,, tlty anl discuss the
drnftlng of a hle covering thr
roads proposition, which It will be his
pleasure to brlrs; before the coming session
at Lincoln.
