TIIE OMAHA DAILY TtEE: MONDAY, FEBRUARY . 100.T NEWLANDS FOR UNIFICATION w. Vjewi on Eailroad Problemi Similar to Thoie of Paul Morton. NATURAL EVOLUTION OF THE BUSINESS Control Should Be Eserclned, He . So Sot to Impair the Enery r Enterprise ( the Operators. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WABHINOTON, Feb. 5.-(Spceln1. The Views of Secretary of the Navy Morton on railroad rate legislation, as recently ex pressed, have attracted much attention at the capltol. Althotigh Mr. Morton has ex plicitly stated they must not in any way be taken as the "views of the administra tion," they are naturally accepted as the view, which he as one of the advlsora of President Roosevelt, is constantly present ing to the president, and therefore, are pre sumed to have exercised more or lews In fluence on the attitude of the administration. Certain of these opinions thus publicly ex pressed are regarded by some Jpglslators as more In accordance with democratic than republican doctrine and already some of the dcmocratlo senators have voiced similar sentiments. Mr. Morton states as his belief that one of three things is sure to take place in the conduct of our railway systems." those being- "legalliatlbn of pools." "the further unification of ownership," or "government ownership." The first proposition Is sup ported by the railroads and was contained In the old Corliss-Nelson bill, but Is ex tremely unpopular In congress, so much so that Representative Mann of Illinois, a member of the house committee on Inter state commerce, recently stated such ft measure "would have no more chance In congress than a snowflnke in hades." The third, "government ownership," Is undlsput- 4.niMrii o Men: the second. i"-' ahl V further unification of ownership, ready been advocated by some of the demo crats and Senator Newlands of Nevada urges the Creation of s. Joint commission of the senate and house to prepare a na tional Incorporation act., which shall pro mote the further unification of the railway systems. On this point Mr. Morton, after urging the legalisation of polling, says: "Beoond The further unification of own ership, thereby delivering In time the en tire railway ownership of the country into the hands of a few Individuals or one syn dicate. Tbls condition has already been hurried and helped along by the absence of pooling, and while I am one of those who berltvs It would not be a calamity If all the railways in the United States could be owned by one syndicate, provided they could be managed purely and simply as a railway proposition, I have grave doubts that this Is practicable and fear that so much concentrated power would be mis used." If It should be he sees nothing left but "government ownership, the worst of the three evils If such they may be called." Senator StwUndt' Ideas. Rejecting legalised pooling as an Impos sibility and agreeing with Mr. Morton that "government ownership" Is the worst of the "three evils," Senator Newlands seeks the middle path, that of encouraging the unification of the railroads into a few sys tems or even one system, but giving the government' absolute control over the con duct of such unified system or systems by the exercise of tho rate-making and tax ing power. On this subject Senator New lands sa.d today: "Thers are about 2,000 railway corpora tions, of" which about 600 .are operating companies and' these' have fallen under the control of certain systems, so that today It ia a recognised fact that almost 'all the railroad trackage of the country Is under the control of eight or 'ton systems, each Df which la. under the absolute direction and control, of either a single man or group composed of a small number of men. I regard this as a natural and practical volution of the railroad business, resulting o far aa the economlo operation of the roads Is concerned an advantage and not disadvantage, and operating, so far as the convenience of the public is concerned, to their advantage and not to their disadvan tage, and only likely to operate against the Interests of the country when we con sider the question of rates, of rebates and if discriminations. It is with reference to these matters, then, that the railroads ihould be brought under some form of unified control and that unillod control ihould be exercised In auch a way as not to Impair the Initiative,, the energy and the enterprise of the operators of these great railroads.". Dancer of Rosso-Jap Alliance. - With peace between Japan and Russia nd an offensive and defensive alliance es tablished between these two nations, the question cornea what of our trade In the far eastT While there are no present Indica tions of an Immediate cessation of hostili ties between the countries now at war In Ihe east, there la a growing feeling that peace is not very far removed. Japan and Russia have learned to regard each other with favor and once foes, when peace comes :t is anticipated that they will form a com bination, to control the whole eastern situ ation and that meana the control of trade u far as possible. Where then does the United States come In with Japan, the great Imitator, making American goods for the Chinamen, and Russian sending Its manufactured products Into both countries upon terms thoroughly understood between ?hlna, Japan and Itself? "The world Is our market," has become i pat phrase with our manufacturers, abet ted largely by our dlplomatlo and consular ameers at borne aa well as abroad. If th phrase be true, and with the alliance of Russia and Japan outlined above as ac tually In existence, it behooves the United States to Immediately develop trade In places and In countries where the American "bag man" la unknown and Incidentally do iverythlng possible to strengthen our rela tions with countries and places where American made goods are well and favor ably known. Proposes Commercial Attaches. Assistant Secretary Loomls, realising the Importance of fortifying our present posi tion In the world's trade, has recommended in appropriation for the creation of a staff of special agents with the dlplomatlo rank and title of commercial attache, who shall travel over the world for the purpose of examining Into tho trade relations of the tevera! countries to the United States and make auch suggestions as will strengthen the hands of our manufacturers abroad. Secretary Loomls does not propose that any of the attaches, who shall be six In number, shall have any fixed place of resi dence, but that they shall be transferable Been Hit? Nerves Gone? Quit Coffee nd Use POSTUM from point to point as circumstances dic tate. He proposes that their salary shall be $A.a per year with adequate allowance for traveling expense and that their work should be directed toward furnishing our manufacturers and exporters such Informa tion as would tend towards securing trade that Is at present a sealed book to our peo ple. In a letter to the president, Mr. Loomls pertinently says: "This moveWnt is obviously necessary when considered as a step In the direction of providing the United States with the official machinery which, sooner or later, will be Imperatively demanded by our congested Industries to aid them In finding outlets for their surplus proflucta. The productive capacity of American workshops and factories Is in creasing at such a rate that, to keep pace with It. we must obtain a commensurate share of foreign consumption. In some lines our production In six or eight months Is sufficient to cover the home demand of a year. The production of the other four months must be v marketed outside the United States. Nor will It do to go Into the foreign markets with any less seal and ef fort than Is used to secure home markets. In fact, a much greater effort may be needed In the one than in the other. As our productive energy Increases and the neces sity for seeking foreign markets becomes more stringent. It is to be expected that the requirements of the business community for reliable, well digested and practical de tails as to trade conditions abroad and for advice and help In exploring unknown mar kets will tax the best official machinery that can be devised " Secretary Loomls believes that It Is but the part of ordinary prudence not to wait for the emergency which seems to be upon us, but to set to work at once to perfect such mnchlnery while there is still time for experiment and trial. Huston Also Has Plans. WhllA Rflnmt.pv I nutlttiMi what la regarded as a very essential factor in broadenlnir nnr irnria with fnralvn rnnn t Ha Jcseph Mi Huston, the architect of . the magnificent capltol at Harrlsburg, has SeeiTllnlv milch wMa .luro.ml Inn. tn molts for trade betterment. Mr. Huston, who Is not only one ot the leading architects of Ihfi Unit? Hfatn hilt tt man hn has .iianl a very great deal of time In travel through luieign countries, lias some practical ideas about the enlargement of American trade which are considered "worth while" by those with whom he has discussed the sub ject. Mr. Huston suggesU that the gov ernment establish In all of the principal parts or the world great warehouses on the docks and in these warrhniiuna ho v. samples of American made goods, m.v unmrrjr, eic, wun tne names or the selling agents, prices, etc., under consular control. He proposes a slow sailing fleet of tramp steamers or sailing vessels touching at all these foreign ports, say once every two monthH, and carrying goods for the several wureiiouses 10 replenish diminished stock. Not sutislled with these suggestions, which must appeal very forcibly to those who are enguged in the foreign trade, Mr. Huston offers the further i.c.axinti that the government should authorise the estab lishment of an International banking sys tem modeled, somewhat along the lines of Thomas Cook & Sons, so that the American iniveier aDroaa may be able to do business with someone accredited hv the imiKi, government.

But the man who Is making one of the most henutif.ii .anitni. in the country and within the amount ap- yiuunuioo ror its construction does not stop here.

Mr. Huston has the further suggestion that .the government should erect a school of diplomacy anala gous to West Point and Annapolis for the Hl young men ror the -Consular service and grade them, good work being the requisite for promotion, -'Wait this latter suggestion is not new. it but em phasizes wh.it a ...... i , " vuitiu Biuuviu or. our conditions abroad has to suggest for nieet- . competitors whether in statecraft, diplomacy or trade. San Domingo's Needs. "The Republic of San DnminMi government of the eastern an ... . can bo called a rcpubllc-ls not satisfied lne proposition that the United States should control the customs guarantee the payment of its debts." This uwiuBui was made this afternoon by a gentleman who recently returned from a long sojourn In San Domingo and who has, perhaps, a broader knowledge of the affairs of the South American countries than any other man in America today. .umu ue oone, no continued, "is to establish an absolute protectorate over the republic. I do not mean hv thi. ...... this country should annex the territory, but we should do for San Domingo ex actly what we did for Cuba. The United States is In duty bound to see that a per manent, safe, up-to-date government is established. The cresldent nno-ht t. authority to send troops to occupy the lowns in me republic and to es tablish postofflces and anh nnlm mm n,.ll ... customs houses. Until this is done by iuib country or some other equally as powerful, there Is absolutely no hope that any sort of a government can be made permanent ana sare. No one in the United States who has not coma ir.tr, r.-i suimi contact with the San ) omIngans .can have any conception of the existing conditions i iw repuDiic. i wm cite one instance which will demonstrate.

He was told that they that they are arrested Immediately and shot at sunrise.' was his next command. His orders were carried out and the 'revolution' was broken up right then and there. The gooa people or San Domingo and by that I mean those who have th i.,ni... of education and property are exceedingly anxious mat tne united States should adopt the same course toward their coun try which was adopted toward Cuba after the Spanish evaouatlon. It Is only by the adoption of such a plan that there can be any possible chance of creating a stable government upon the Island and two or three years of American control and the introduction of the American system of elections, with American schools, will bring about a state of affairs which will insure the permanent peace and prosperity of the most fertile piece of territory on the en tire earth." Arranging for Hallway Show. Former Congressman George H.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Feb. 5.-tSpeclal Telegram.1 The legislature ought to get around to the primary election bills this week. Two such measures are pending. One was Introduced in the house by Dodge cf Douglas, the other by McMullen of Gage. Cady pre sented the McMuilen Mil to the senate. Between these bills the essential differ ence is that the Dodge bill provides for the primary election In the case of state of ticers, as well as city, county and district, and does away with platforms, while the McMullen bill exempts the state officers, retains the platform system and advocates the choice of United States senators by primary election. This last provision ia admitted to give strength and popularity tu the McMullen bill, so far as the rank and file of the people are concerned, and to make it to that extent objectionable to the corporations. On the other hand, the Dodge bill is not exactly to the liking of the corporations. Of course they do not want any primary election law, but If one must curat these powers would rather it did not include slate officers within Its operations. But this is an objection not alone entertained by the corporations. The country members of the legislature who are taking a stand against primary election legislation ore strongly opposed to the state officer prevision, chiefly for the reason, as they urge, that It will have a tendency to "bunch'' the candidates on the state ticket, giving the populous cenfers the advantage'. The friends of the Dodge bill hold this is not a valid objection tu the measure. The truth of the matter Is, however, that the promoters of this much-needed legisla tion are going to have a hard time en acting any auch law, unless they should consent to have It apply only to the larger cities of the state. A canvass of the mem bers seems to Indicate a pronounced senti ment from the country against any sort of primary election law for the rural sec tions. "We don't need It, don't want It and couldn't get along as well with It as with the present system." This Is about the way most of the coun try members size it up. Notwithstanding this opposition, though, Dodge and McMul len are hopeful of success. It Is probable the best out of the two bills will be united so as to give one measure of the most com mendable character and then let a strong fight be made for Its passage. State Binder Twine Plant. While, as The Bee showed this morning, the special Joint committee sent to the Kansas penitentiary to report on the state binder twine plant, favors and will recom mend the establishment of such a plant at the Nebraska penitentiary, already a movement has been launched to block such an enterprise. Warden Bcemer himself Is opposed to the establishment of the plant and is not Inactive In his opposition, either. The bill Introduced in the house providing for such a plant proposes to appropriate $10,000 to establish and $46,000 to operate the plant. The warden seems to think there Is not the necessary ground space at the penitentiary and has other objections. It is said such a plant would require a three mile runwsy. But opposed to Warden Beemer la the great number of farmers of Nebraska and their representatives In the leslslatur'k - . Notes from Hastings. HASTINGS. Neb., Feb. 6.-(Specla!.) Juniata had a fire. Wednesday afternoon that did $300 worth of damage to Lang Jahr's harness shop before the bucket bri gade was able to extinguish It. The fire originated about noon In the workroom and had made material progress before It was discovered. There were a. half dozen frame buildings In the immediate vicinity of the harness shop, and for a time the business portion of the town seemed seriously threatened. A two-story brick business building will be an addition tn Hastings In ths early spring. The new structure will be erected at the corner of Third street and Hastings avenue and will have the dimensions of 75x110 feet. James Peterson and George Brocksome, two young farmers living near the city, were arraigned in the county court Tues day for fighting and threatening to fight more. Peterson paid a slight fine and Brocksome spent two days In the county Jail. They are rivals for the affections of a young lady and had adopted the knightly method of proving their worthi ness, urged on by stories circulated by friends of each. Peterson asserted that had the sentence of his rival and com batant been much longer he would pay his fine and secure his liberty. Dispensary Declared Illegal. AURORA, Neb., Feb. .6. (Special.) The widely advertised liquor dispensary of A. M. Glover, operated at Aurora, Neb., re ceived a death-blow In the decision of Judge Evans last Thursday, wherein he held the two ordinances enacted by the city council for the suppression of Olover's institution were valid end enforceable. The defendant assailed the validity of the or dinances and maintained that his dispen sary was legally conducted. The city council employed Craft & Bald, who drafted the ordinance In question, to prose cute the case. Ths district court room was crowded by spectators from all portions of the county, the case having attracted more widespread attention than any for some years. The legal battle was lengthy and most stubbornly waged. Fnllertoa rhtutaaqn Incorporates. FULLERTON. Neb., Feb. 6. (Special.)

WILL MEAN MUCH fO MINOR LEAGUES "Tip" Says He Wants Snaaratlons from All Parties Interested la the Makcnp of ths Schedule for the Season. "Tip" O'Neill, president of the Western League Base Hall association, quietly and unexpectedly slipped Into Omaha yesterday and remained until evening closeted with the manager of the Omaha base ball club. Mr. O'Neill arrived In the city from Den ver one day earlier than he expected and left In the evening on the Overland Limited for Chicago, where he will make a draft of the schedule for the coming season. From there he will go to New York to attend the meeting ot the base ball mag nates who have under consideration the amendments to the constitution. "I came here from Denver a day ahead of time," said Mr. O'Neill. "I had a talk with Burke, the owner of the Denver team, and expeoted to go from there to Colorado Springs and see Burns, but I found he was not there, so I took an earlier train for the east and stopped off here to see Bill Rourke. I will go from here to Chicago to look after the schedule. I want all of them to submit their Ideas, so that I can make my deductions for the coming season. From Chicago I go to New York. I want to be there in time for the meeting which begins there on February 15. This wil be one of the most Important meeting of the minor leagues that has been held for several year. About March 1 we will have the schedule meeting at Chicago and I want everything In shape by that time. Prospects Arc Brlxht. "Everything looks good in Denver. There has been some talk of trouble there, but that is all newspaper talk. Those papers out there can throw more hot air to the square Inch than any other- set of papers in the country. You know that. The peo ple out there are looking for a good season. I talked with all the people who are In close touch with base ball nnd they are Interested and enthusiastic over the coming season. The entire association looks good to me. St. Joseph has been putting In some good timber and Des Moines is ready to strengthen the club there If It is found necessary. Douglas, who will captain the team there. Is an old Philadelphia catcher and he's a god man. They've also got Ketchum and Eyler of the Denver club. Kearney of the Sioux Citys has been busy. It looks as if he has brought a pretty strong bunch from the New England states. They are men who are not known very much In the west, but they all have records out there. "Everything looks good In Omaha. Of course Rourke knows what he wants and what he needs and he'll see that he gets It. So far as the meeting in New York is concerned I think everything will be settled along satisfactory lines. The minor leagues tvlll be taken citre of, I am satis fled of that. That meeting will be one of the most Important to the minor leagues that has been held, but I look to see that everything will come out all right. What Is for the good of one league ts for the good of the other and they understand this and I am satisfied will do nothing that will hurt the minor leagues." Basket Ball Team to Make Tonr.

When the work of construction Is recommenced the route will probably be along the eastern shore of the Victoria Nyanzn, and will then strike due north to the town of Rosnres, which Is the southernmost point of the Soudanese tele graph system. A Junction will be effected here between the two lines and the scheme for a "Capo to Cairo" telegraph will then be an accom plished fact. The engineers of the line arc. however, faced with a difficulty In their preparations for carrying It forward from UdjldJI, Inasmuch as the country for n dis tance of nearly 100 miles through tv1-!rh the line would hav" to pass is very swampy and quite unfit for the erection of n tele graph wire. It was at first thought thnt a wide detour would have to be made at this point In order to escape this region, but latterly other councils hnve prevailed and a much more daring experiment Is likely to be tried. This Is the Installation of the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy In order to bridge over this Inhospltnhle doltn country. This combination of an African jungle swamp with the latest triumph of scientific discovery reads very strangely, but It Is only another Instance of the on ward march of civilization through what were until n comparatively few years ago the unknown parts of the earth.

The fire-eating anarchist who recently urged unemployed workmen at Clerkenwell to "strike off the king's crown and proclaim a republic," stood sobbing In the witness box at the local police court this week. With tears streaming down his face, he expressed his sorrow for what he had said. His name Is Charles Davis, and he was described as a decorator. "I am very excitable, and I promise be fore God I will never have anything to do With such meetings again. I meant no harm," he sobbed, as he wiped the tears from his eyes. He also pleaded that he had had a blow on the side of his head some years ago. i According to witnesses, be took a few men aside at Clerkenwell Green and, like a staga conspirator, breathed into their ears that he had 3,000 anarchists ready at Tottenham, and he advised them to march the unemployed there or get them to go In twos and threes. He promised that 1,000 men would furnish the unemployed with grenades, pistols and dynamite. Ills plan was that they should place their deadly weapons in their pockets and march back some to Clerkenwell and others to the West End. Davis also Instructed his hearers to "take these grenades In your hands, my boys. They will not hurt you. Throw some at Clerkenwell and others In the West End. Keep It a secret and It will be all right." Addressing a meeting of the unemployed on the same day, he said: "I want to see you 10,000 strong. Tho soldiers will shoot 1,000, but not 10,000. I want to remove this king, who Is pleased to see you starve, from the throne and set up a republic. Come with me to Bucking ham palace, and If the king does not come out to speak to you strike off his crown. You are his subjects." After lecturing the prisoner, the magis trate bound him over in the sum of 200 to keep the peace.

(Speclsl.)-A quiet to cure Indigestion Is largely due to the old theory that when the stomach becomes In active it needn something to mechanically digest its contents, and cathartics, purga tives, etc., are u.sed, which give only temp orary relief, because they digest by irritat ing the llnliiK of tho stomach. Modern science ri -cognizes the fact thnt It Is the nerves that furnishes motive power to digest the contents of the stomach. The nerves ngltate and mix tho food, nnd stimulate the secretions. When they be come weakened they lack energy, and Indi gestion, dyspepsia, sour stomach result. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine will relieve obstinate cases of indigestion, dyspepsia and stomach trouble by strength ening these n rves. "I had severe stomach trouble.
