Riga, whither he had been summoned by
the Illness of his wife. A notice was posted
today at all the works giving the strikers
twenty-four hours to resume their em

did not comply would be deported to vil
lage. 5:15 p. m. Quiet continues In 8t. Peters
burg. Evidence accumulates that the strik
ers are supplied with money to meet their
present needs. All sorts of stories are at. oat
a to the else and origin of the fund. Money
Is undoubtedly being supplied by the lib
erals. It Is said that they have a fund of
12.000,000, some claiming It Is supplied by
German socialists, but there Is no way of
verifying the stories. It Is seriously be
lieved In some quarters that money Is being
furnished from Japan-British sources to
bring on a revolution of such Internal com
plications as will end the war.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 26.-The council
of the Polyteohnlo Institute today adopted
the following resolutions:
Ons of the members of the family of the
Polytechnic Institute of 8t. Petersburg, the
student Bavlnkln, died a violent death, shot
on January 22 In the Alexander' gardens.
Bavlnkln was one of the victims of the
-butchery against a peaceful . unarmed
crowd, me council or the Institute being
revolted and depressed by the acts of Jan
uary 12, which prove that in Russia the
very lives of peaceable citlsens are unsafe,
express profound Indignation on account of
the general firing, one of the victims of
which was the student Savlnkin. The coun
cil finds that under the present conditions
teaching Is absolutely Impossible and re
solves first, to Inform trie minister of
finance of the opinion of the council regard
ng the evente of January 22; second, to
susperd lectures in the institute, and, third,
to defray the cost of the funeral of Ba
vlnkln. The students of the institute sent a dele
gation to the director declaring their agree
ment with the Russians.
Fourteen members of the Zemstvo'of
Bimsblrsk (on the Volga, 106 miles south
southwest of Kazan) have adopted the fol
lowing resolutions:
During our whole Uvea we hsve been
forced to observe silence In all our new
ideas. The authorities ' see red spectres
threatening to destroy the foundations of
tho state. . For forty years we have said
"all is well," we had been so accustomed
to this course that to say otherwise would
have been a political crime. This attitude
on the part of the people debaaed to slavery
has led RubrIb to a crisis through which
she cannot safely be brought by palliatives
or half measures. Russia Is on the road to
complete ruin and the fatherland la threat
ened with terrible danger, not alone by the
fore gn enemy with whom she Is now strug-
fllna. but by an Internal foe against whom
he bureaucracy has so long been fighting
with disastrous results. The danger lieu In
the prostration of the general development
of the country, brought about by the bu
reaucracy. The development of Russia baa
been artificially arrested and all her Insti
tutions mi ll ken unto death and cannot be
brought back to life.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-H. U New
comb of Washington, speaking for the rall-
j roads before the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce todsy, reviewed
statistics to show that ft rate made on the
basis of the earnings of a railroad for any
one particular year might not be Justified
by the figures for another year.
Representative Steentrson of Minnesota
spoke briefly on tljo provisions of his bilk
which he said hud been frsmed withde
clsions of thu courts on the subject of rate
making In view. Ono, question, he said,
that had been settled by tho supreme
court's decision, was that the fixing of
rates is a legislative function and that the
power can be delegated to a commission
and not to a court.
II. F. Smith, t raffle manager of the Nash
ville, C'hattunooga $ Bt. Louis railway, said
that his road commenced In November to
arrange a reduced tariff to go into effect
February 1. Kvery reduction, he said, came
out of the net earnings, as they could not
force business, nor reduce their service be
cause competition was too great to udmlt
of any modification hj that direction.
Representative Haugen of Iowa said con
gross had the power to legislate and fix
rates and he considered It the duty of con
gress to meet the demands of tho people.
He compared the earntmrs of the railroads
to the value of the farm products to show
that the former had received a dispropor
tionate share of the country' wealth.
Dlfllcaltlrs of Committees.
Judson C. Clements, a member of the In
terstate Commerce commission, replying tu
a statement which .be said had been made
to the effect that the commission had not
endeavored to enforce the provisions of tht.
law, said it was strange that this should be
said by people who have violated the law.
He called attention to the Investigation
Instituted by the commission in the mattei
of grain rates and packing house products
and the Injunction proceedings which re
sulted against carriers. - The result hau
been, he said, that the giving of the rebates
and deviation from published rates in the
form of rebates practically had disappeared.
He spoke of the difficulties experienced by
the commission in obtaining the testimony
because of the refusal of witnesses to tes
tify on th ground that to do so would in
criminate themselves. .
Attention was called to the action of the
committee in connection, with the Northern
Securities and other cases to show what
had been accomplished through the efforts
of the commission. He desired, he said,
to repel the Insinuations of those who sought
to impugn the committee. The situation
before the house committee, Mr. Clements
said, wss a .vindication - of the desire of
the commission to fix a reasonable rate.
Replying to Chairman Hepburn, Mr.
Clements said the considerations In deter
mining a reasonable rat were bulk, as
compared with the rate, length of haul, a
comparison with other rates, and value of
the commodity. , There was no mathemat
ical method by 'which a rate could be
worked, out, he added.- All that could be
done was a fair and reasonable approxi
mation. The fixing of a rate he believed
to be a legislative. fooction.
'' -"'' IncraW''A-re"Knormoos. ' ' ''
He showed tfie fritfe'rls1 in gross receipts
of the railroads tor 1904 over those of 1899
to have been W53,0o9,ooo,, which was greater,
he remarked, ' than the entire recelpta of
the government for the last year.
Mr. Bacon, appearing before th com
mittee again, submitted figures showing the
Increase in net earnings of th railroads,
compared with Increased tonnage as evi
dence of advanced rates. Those he repre
sented, he said, were opposed to the crea
tion of an additional court until necessity
for it was shown. Repayment of . unreason
able charges under the bond provided by
the Hepburn bill, Mr. Bacon said, would
not benefit the affected party, whloh was
the consumer.
B. H. Cowan, representing the cattle
grower of the west and southwest, said
ample remedy would be given by the ad
dition of a few words to the present law
giving the Interstate Commerce commis
sion power to fix. a rate In lieu of one
found unreasonable. The hearings were
closed with the testimony of Mr. Cowan
and the committee will consider the sub
ject hereafter Jn executive sessions.
Orders Steel Inqolry.
The house committee on the Judiciary
today authorised a favorable report on tn
resolution Introduced by Mr. Little (Ark.)
directing the secretary of, commerce and

MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT
A Lot of Trouble From Too Much
starchy Food.
A little boy of eight yeurs whose parents
did not feed him on the right kind of food,
wss always nervous and suffered from a
weak condition cf the stomach and bowels.
Finally he was taken down with appendi
citis, and after the. operation the doctor,
knowing that his Intestinal digestion was
very weak, put him on Urape-Nuts twice
a day.
He rapidly ' recovered, and about two
mnrith thereafter, his futher states, "He
haa grown to be strong, muscular, and
sleeps soundly, weighs 61 pounds, and his
whole eastern Is in a fine condition of
health." Nams given by Postum Co., Bat
tle Creek, Mich. .
It is plain that If he had been put on
Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his life,
and kept from the use of foods that he
could not digest, ho never would have
had appendicitis. That disease Is caused
by undigested food decaying In the stom
ach and bowels, cauflng irritation and
making for the growth of ah kinds cf
microbes, sotting up a diseased condition
which Is the aetUe cause of appendicitis,
and this is more murked with people who
do not properly digest white bread.

by Benstor Bacon, asking Information from

resolution went over until the next meeting
without action. Senator Bacon declarea
that the official statement Issued by As

thority. He said that If tnie this govern
