"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. ' pointed a member of the Board of Indian . , .

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.

CUMMIN'S IS WELL PLEASED Basalts of Visit to Washington ill that E Could Wish for. SENTIMENT FOR RAILROAD REGULATION States Weight f Oslslss la Kast t la Favor of Hetlsloa ot Tariff Schedules ay a Reaah llraa Congress. (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."

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 cease very largely. Mr. LaFollette will find that his freight rate law will be fought and largely dened by the railroads and that the railroads will be Lrcteoted by the ropub lican courts. And he will further find that the only solution of the great transporta tion problem Is the public ownership and operation of the railroads, and to secure this he will have to leave the republican party. LaFollette will flnilly have to leave the republicans or abandon his fluht for rerorms, and surrender to me vicious ana organised garrison that he has fought so Well in tl new iiniiy, iuui nn . - - v...,,h.t.., LaFollette and all men like him would find a congenial home. 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. "JACK THE PEEPER" AT YORK Myaterlona Maa Annoys Unprotected Women and Glrla. YORK. Neb., Nov. 27. (Spec'al.) "Jack the Peeper," some mysterious man who has a mania for prowling around private home and following and scaring unpro tected glrla after dark, again attempted last night to catch three young women and followed them to the door of the residence of Mr. Roach. From the descrip tion given he la the same man who at tempted to assault Miss Sedgwick, daugh ter of Colonel Tim Sedgwick of the York Times, who was found lying unconscious near the door of the residence of Mrs. E. Joe Brown. 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. Mr. P. Christ came to York county about two years ago from western Nebraska and purchased an eighty-acre farm near York, for which he paid at that time S2.2O0. He sold this farm yesterday to It. M. Chllds ot this city for 14,400. Mr. Christ mada no Improvements on the place during the time he owned it. 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.
