It has been marked by a round of entertainments and a display of Western innovations never before known m China. The prince regent, on learning that neither Secretary Dickinson nor Gen eral Edwards was able to accept decor ations, sent to Mrs. Dickinson a pair i of cloisonne vases uf the Chien Tung ' period. The regent also sent a pair of red lacquer boxes, of similar antiquity, to Mrs. Dickinson and Mrs. Edwards. A banquet was given in honor of the . secretray and the other visitors by Chinese students who have returned from America.

After a warm I debate of more than three hours, the national encampment Grand Army of the Republic, at its final session . here, indefinitely |«wtpor.cd action on ! the controversy over the placing of the ■ statue of Robert E. l^e in Statuary Hall. The vote was 133 to 102, a I small total compared with the vote of H87 east for commander-in-chief. The encampment rejected the prop osition recommending that congress t>e asked to grant each Union veteran a ' pension of SI a day for life, but in- I doraed lite McCumber bill now pending relating to widows’ pensions. It was recommended that the pen- I sions for veterans 66 years old be in creased from 212 to 416 a month; 70 ’years old from 115 to 22". and 75 - years of age from 120 to 125 a month. The question of the Grand Army's attitude on the l^-c statue matter was ■ >ne of the moat important the encamp ment has to deal with in years. The conservative rlement controlled the encampment and won the day on the argument that the bitterness engend ered in the Civil war was disappearing and that sectional hatred should not be revived; that action adverse to the , 1^-e statue would do monjharm than good, especially to the Grand Army of the Rcjiublic, and last, but not least, that the state of Virginia, under the act of congress in 1854, had the right to place in Statuary Hall the image of any man from that state whose mem ory it chose to perpetuate. SIXTEEN DEAD IN WRECK Rock Island Train Runs Into Wash out in Kansas. Denver Fifteen persons lost their lives and 11 others sustained more or less severe injuries in the wreck, two mile« east of Clayton, Kan., of west bound Rock Island passenger train No. 27, which was due in Denver at 8:25 Saturday morning from Kansas City. The wreck was the result of a cloud- burta which carried out 1,00« feet of a fill at what is normally almost a dry l<ed, turning the latter into a torrent many yards wide and 20 feet deep.

Disrespect to Tactics Officer and In subordination Chargee Made. West Point, N. Y. The entire cadet corps is under arrest end facing a gen eral court martial for gross disrespect to Captain Rufus E. Ixmgan, instruc tor in tactics, and insubordination. Major General Richard H. Barry, su perintendent of the military academy, sent the four classes of 500 young men to their quarters after mesa and a board of officers is endeavoring to find out why the cadets "silenced" Captain Longan. They won’t tell. The whole corps haa stood out against General Barry's insistence; first clam men with almost perfect records in scholarship and con duct have remained as stubborn as tail- enJcrs whose demerits run up into the hundreds. All that General Barry and the loan! have got out of them in reply to questions as to why they refused to eat in Captain Longan’e presence or refused to apeak when he was among them is the statement: "We have formed a dislike for this officer." The penalty provided by law for thia degree of insubordination is dismissal from the military academy. Two Confess to Robbery. Seattle J. F. Warren, special gov ernment agent for the Second judicial district of Alaska, received a cable gram saying that two men now in jail at Nome have confessed to complicity in the theft of 114,345 from the sluice boxee of the Pioneer Mining company. Mr. Warren haa not yet learned wheth er the reported confession has impli cated Manus Johansen, or John Ty- berg. who were arrested recently In thia city on a charge of being implica ted in the robbery but believes they also are guilty. 700,000 Men Msy Strike. Berlin -Germany industry is seri ously disturbed by strikes and lockouts. Unless the disputes can be ended with in the next few days. 700,000 men will become idle. The 40,000 striking shipbuilders show no signs of weaken ing. The managing committee of the Socialist party is aiding in the support of th« idle men. AEROPLANE CROSSES AU’S HI T PRIZE IS LOST. ADDED TRAFFIC; ADDED EXPENSES Figures Show Kailroad’s Kates Are Not Too High. Labor Is Blamed for Increased Cost of Operation Regulation Can not Change Conditions. Chicago William Ellis, interstate commerce attorney for the St. Paul road, presented a formidable array of figures in the freight rate hearing be fore the Interstate Commerce commis sion. Mr. Ellin hail columns of figures, the bulk of which almost staggered the representative« of the shippers, which showed that for the past 10 years the coat of conducting transportation, apart from the ailmlnistration cost, had steadily increased in a proportion out of line with the increase in net revenue. In other words, the coat of furnishing a given unit of service to the people had steadily risen instead of decreasing, as it should, with an in crease in the volume of traffic. "There is a gradual growing coat of operation that is getting worse each year, and is worse the more business a railroad does,” he said. To illustrate this cost. Mr. Ellis took as his unit of service 1,000 tons of freight moved one mile. Th»v cost of moving this in 19ol was 22.20 on the St. Paul road, and the cost of making the aame movement in 1910 hail risen to 12.96, which meant an increase of rimre than 84,000,000 to the St. Paul road. Showing how the consumer was «fTe<-ted, the witness presented a table giving the increase in the cost to the shipper on many articles if the new commodity rates should be permitted to go into effect. Mr. Ellis took the valuation marie by several railroad commissions of the property of the St. Paul within their states ami declared that the road is worth, according to that basis, at least 1293,000,000. Th« cspitalixation of the property thus valued is little more than 2285,000,000. The average net return since 1906 had been about ♦> per cent. The remarkable financial returns of the Chicago Hi Northweetem railroad during the last ten yeaini’were brought out by attorneys for the shippers. The witness for the road was W. A. Gardner, vice president in charge of operations and maintenance of that road. His testimony elicited on cross-ex amination by Attorney Frank Lyon for the commission, was, in short, that the company thought itself justified in raising freight charges, in spit« of the fact that In ten year« it had returned to its stockholders in direct dividends and in unappropriated surplus more than the amount of the capital stock.
