An answer questioning the constitu- Bomality of a part of the railroad rate law was filed at Washington, D. C., by &ke Pullinan Company to a complaint pecently filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission by George S. ¥olftas of St. Paul, Minn., involving fhe fairness of sleeping car rates. The complaint alleged the Pullman @ommpany had exacted excessive and mmreasonable charges for its sleeping | gar accommodations. The company’s answer denies the suatherily of the commission to issue the order demanded by Mr. Loftus, reducing the charges. In making this defense the Pullman Company attacks ke constitutionality of the railroad rate law. It is well understood the Pullman @ompany expects in event of adverse decision to appeal the case to the fdgher courts. Receiver for Steel Concern. Judge George C.

The duma, = Russia's body. was dissolved by the 16th. © The ukase of disolution was accom- panied by a manifesto setting forth | the motives which led the Emperor to take such action. He lists his grievances as the duma’s rejection of temporary laws, its refusal to con- demn terrorism, its relay in ratifying the. open revolutionary spirit of a large portion of its mem- bers, its abuse of the right of inter- pellation, and finally, the failure of the duma to comply immediately with the demand for the exclusion of the 55 Social Democratic members charged with conspiring against the present regime. The Emperor says he has decided to change the basis of suffrage, so that every part of the Russian popu- lation shall be represented in the lower house of parliament. : “God entrusted us with imperial authority over our people,” his ma- jesty declares, “and before His throne we must answer for the fate of the Russian state. “Conscious of this we have taken a firm resolution to bring to an end the great task of the transformation of Russia begun by us, and to grant Russia a new electoral law.” ~ An outbreak of agrarian disorders in several regions of the empire is anticipated later, when the peasantry learn of the dissolution.

NOT TO LOWEST BIDDER Auditor's Renort Shows Many Queer Things About Capitol Contracts. The report of the Audit Company of New York to the Capitol Investiga- tion Cemmission at Harrisburg regd by James Cameron, who has managed this work, except such por: tions as the commission will withhold for use in courts: ~~ The report was submitted in beok form, containing 30.000 words, and went into details which confirmed oral testimony that had been produced be- fore the commission, showing how loose were the methods by which the contractors were allowed to make their enormous profits and over- charges. One of the salient features of the report was a positive statement that John H. Sanderson was not the low- est bidder for the $2,000,000 contract for lighting fixtures for the Capitol, which Charles F. Rich, the Tiffany studio expert, declared in his report last week, had been so overloaded as regarded weight and charged for _at figures that indicated a profit to the contractor of over 1,0000 per cent in some ‘instances. By an examination of the records the auditors learned that the Interna tional Manufacturing and Supply: Co. | was the lowest bidder for this equip- | ment 12 its ficure being $4 “per pound,” inst Sanderson’s charge of $4.85 “per pound.” Had the state accepted the lower bid; it was pointed out, it would have saved $355,136.01. “Another startling disclosure was the finding that Sanderson had charged the state twice for two. models 7 of standards that appear outside main entrance of- the: building. Sanderson collected on one sion $5,040 and on another $9,000 for the same models. The total cost, of the standards, “including the charge for the models, was $20,989.20, ex- clusive of the charge for baccarat glass that was not furnished.

INTERFERE franded ou PRESIDENT WON'T Commissioner of Lahor Can Mediate | in Telegraphers’ Strike. President Roosevelt has referred to Charles P. Neill, commissioner of la- bor, without comment, the various ap- peals which have been made to him by wire and mail, to intervene to prevent the threatened telegraphers’ strike. The position is taken that no emer- gency exists such as obtained at the time the President intervened in the anthracite coal strike, but, on the contrary, the situation presented is one where action by the government, if taken at all, may properly be initi- ated and directed by the bureau of labor, of which Mr. Neill is the head. Chicago members of the Commer- cial Telegraphers’ Union to-day voted to support the President and the executive committee of their or- ganization in any measure they deem necessary to bring about an adjust- ment of the operators’ complaints against the telegraph companies. WANTS TO SEE KING ALFONSO South American Countries Invite Him to Visit Them. Strong efforts are being put forth to induce King Alfonso of Spain to visit Argentina, Chile and other Spanish South American countries. King Carlos of Portugal, before becoming involved in his present#roubles, ac- cepted an invitation to visit Brazil, and this fact is said to have induced the invitation sent to King. Alfonso. The latter is said to be inclined to accept, because it has been repre- sented to him that his visit would re- sult in largely increasing the com- mercial relations between Spain and the Spanish-American republics.
