Little Rock, Ark., March 9.— A number o f persona are reported killed, a number injured and an immense amount o f property destroyed in a tornado which swept Arkansas late to night. A St. Louis & Southwestern passenger train was blown from the tracks near Baucum, it is said, while going at full speed. The entire town o f Brinkley was destroyed, according to reports from the south, eight persons being killed and others hurt. A fter many o f the buildings in Brinkley had collapsed, the wreckage took fire. The blaze soon got beyond control and the latest advices were that the destruction|of the town would be complete. To Southern and Kastern Arkansas all communication is cu toff by prostra tion o f telephone and telegraph wires, isolating Hot Springs, Pine Blulf and a number o f smaller towns. The tornado crossed the Arkansas river within five miles o f Little Rock, causing a waterspout. A tornado struck Fourchedam at 5 o ’clock this afternoon within five miles of Little Rock, killing one and injuring several others. Two houses were de molished and one was destroyed by fire after it had been blown to bits. This tornado traveled northeast and swept a clean path about 60 yards wide. The wind was followed by a violent hail and rain storm. A t Kerr the house of E. B. Adams was blown down and Adams was per haps fatally injured. The whole fam ily was buried in the debris, but was saved, All windows on a train be tween Rester and Gordon were blown out. A t Malvern the Methodist church was entirely destroyed, the Baptist church damaged and the courthouse unroofed. Up to m dnight it was impossible to communicate with part o f Eastern, Southern or Western Aikansas. Only a few wires have been opened since.

Interstate Commerce Commission May Alter Rate System. Chicago, March 8.— Railroad mi n are becoming alarmed over the tangle in the transcontinental rate situation. Recent developments seem to indicate that the Interstate Commerce commis sion has come to the conclusion that the entire scheme o f transcontinental freight rates must be changed by the railroads. Just how this is to be brought about by the commission is not known, but the decisions in the Mis souri river and the Spokane rate cases would seem to indicate that it is to be contrary to existing principles and will force the desired adjustment in the trunscontinental rate fabric. The tangle is accentuated by quar rels between the rail carriers them selves and between the rail-and-water carriers. In the West the Harriman steamship interests and the Spreckels interests have locked horns in a des perate fight over coast-to-coast rates by the way o f Panama shores in steam ers. This water competition has al ways been assigned as the reason for the peculiar adjustment o f transconti nental rates. As a consequence, the rates from the Eastern seaboard to the Western coast are just the same they are from Chicago and from the Missouri river to the Pacific co.Jst. In other words, the New York manufac turer can ship his goods to the Pacific coast as cheaply as can the merchant from Chicago, Kansas City or St. Louis. Furthermore the Western lines have been forced to accept an extremely low division o f the transcontinental rates. If water competition has forced this condition, then Mr. Harriman iB re sponsible, in a way. Mr. Harriman owns the Morgan Steamship line, which connects with his rail lines at the Gulf ports, making a water and rail route which is more inexpensive than the all rail route, and which gives him a long haul from the Gulf to the Pacific coast M U S T C U T D E F IC IT .

I suppose many people will object to a stamp act in times o f peace; just as others have a rooted objection or prejudice against bonds, but the government must have money and a plan must be devised for getting it.
