'Chicago, Nov. 12.—The railroads are trying to curtail the power which the Interstate commerce commission is as suming In the administration of the tflfety appliance law. Before Judge* Grpsscup, linker and Seaman the Wa bash road and other roads which have Ifcently been fined by the federal courts for violations presented argu ments on appeals from the judgment of the courts in which the cases were originally heard. (The contention of the railroads is that the commission has no power to Otder safety appliances upon engines Mid equipment which are not used in Interstate traffic. They therefore de sired to be relieved of the com TO 18- •fton's supervision and regulation in so far as it Is being applied to equip ment and power which does not ac tually apply between the various States. Although power and equipment used i# freight yards cannot be said to be •trietly engaged In Interstate com merce the contention of the govern ment lawyers is that they are an aentlal adjunct of interstate cot merce. Although It did not so appear in the an moats of counsel it listed that the railroads are •ft Contesting the Fines Impose# because they believe that the inter state commerce commission is unjust Hi its enforcement of the law. The railroads, according to several operat ing officials, would be perfectly wlll teg to submit all their cars and equip ment to the Jurisdiction and super Vision of the commission, provided tke law was being enforced fairly. It is claimed, however, that the inspec tors of the commission are nearly all former railway employee, who are members of the various labor unions, Slid that they are purposely hunting if technical violations of the law and Violations which operate to the tajnrv if none. «veacts It Is even claimed that the attack on certain railroads whose.officials been free In their criticism of the of the commission has been persistent. Tip to the present time it fcas been the custom of the railroads to plead guilty when the violations fcave been technical and throw them selves upon the mercy of the court Persistent fines, however, in such flues, the court apparently having no discretion In the matter, have deter mined the railroads to resist the as 'sumption of such extensive fiowur by {fee commission.

J2.—What Is probably the long looked for scheme to nullify the popular nomination of Governor George E. Chamberlain, a Democrat, by a Republican electorate commanding about 25,000 majority in this state,- has, it is thought, mate rialized. Fifty-one of the legislators who will participate in tho coming session of the next legislature, which will elect a United States senator, are bound by "statement No. 1," a pledge that the legislator will support for United States senator the nominee receiving the highest number of votes at the last previous general election. The plan is to circulate tor signa ture by the electors throughout the state documents absolving the legls latorB who signed the pledge from ad hering to their promise. The views of the promoters are expressed by the following statement made by one of them: "We are convinced that a state which gave Taft a plurality of nearly 25,000 does not want a Democratic United States senator.

CONTAINS SEVERAL JOVEL PROVISIONS sJ Bill for "Universal Suffrage" In Hungary, Budapest, Nov. 12.—The bill pro viding for universal suffrage in Hun gary was presented to the chamber of deputies by Count Andrassy, minister of the interior. It contains many novel provisions that are designed, as the preamble points out, to "prevent the political power from falling wholly into the hands of illiterates or those not In a position to use it ln the interests of the country, but to retain it in the hands of the intelligent sec tions of the population." The bill provides that every Hungarian over twenty-four years of age, who has re sided In any commune for the space of one year, is entitled to vote. Illit erates, however, will be assembled in groups of ten and each group will have the power to select a single elector. As a result of this system these classes, characterized in the preamble as "particularly accessible to the Incitement of agitators," will have only one vote for every ten men As a further means of "preserving the ascendancy of the intelligent classes' the bill provides for a system of plu ral voting, by which all electors over thirty-two years of age who have ful filled their military duty and who have three children are given two votes. Workmen who have spent five years at the tame trade, as well as workmen who have graduated from specified classes of the secondary schools, also are given a double vote. Electors who have completed the full course of the secondary schools or who pay $20 in direct annual taxation are given the high privilege of voting three times. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat.

MAY BE CITED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT Mayor Tom Johnson Refuses to Produce Books. Ctarsla&d. NOT. 11.—Mayor John son refused to produce the books ol the Pay-Enter Fare Box company when requested to do so In the re ceivership hearing of the Municipal Traction company before Special Mas ter Bel ford of the federal court. Fol lowing the refusal of the mayor to produce the desired books attorneys for the Central Trust company of New York, which is pressing the re ceivership proceedings, threatened to have the mayor cited for contempt. Attorney Cannon, representing the trust company, declared it was neces sary to see the books of the Pay-Enter company in order to find out just where tho latter company stood in relation to the Municipal Traction company. In the hearing Mayor Johnson ad mitted that he and President Du Pont of the Traction company owned all the stock in the Pay-Enter Fare Box company. The Municipal Traction company had met all the expenses of the fare box experiments, he said, and would have stood the loss If the fare box company had been a failure, but if it proved a success Johnson and Du Pont were to get the profits, Hot the Municipal company. NO OPEN FIGHT LIKELY. Cannon's Friends Encoursgsd by ths Election. Washington, Nov. 11.—Following the arrival in the city of the Repub lican members of the ways and means committee of the house for the tariff hearing and many other Republican congressmen to attend to departmental business postponed un til after election the selection of the speaker of the Sixty-flrst congress was a subject of keen discussion. None of the arrivals cared to come out openly in opposition to the re election of Speaker Cannon, while members who have been closely allied with Mr. Cannon during his occu pancy of the chats assert positively that there will be no opposition to him by the time the Republicans meet to caucus on the speakership. Mr. Cannon's friends claim to be greatly encouraged by the election. Not only did the speaker himself re ceive a handsome plurality in his dis trict, where a bitter fight was waged against him, but they point out that many of the members who had an nounced their opposition to Ms re election as speaker met with defeat at the polls. The defeat of Representa tives Edgar C. Ellis of Kansas City, Mo., and J. F. Boyd of Nebraska, after they had declared their opposi tion to the speaker, is taken by the speaker's friends as an indication that the people do not condemn Mr. Qanpon.

Qerman Apothecary Trains tho Birds to Take Picture*. Dr. Neubronner, court apothecary to Emperor William of Germany, has been experimenting for years with carrier pigeons, putting these birds to many uses not Intended by nature. Ills latest Invention, which the pat ent office In Berlin has pfotected, is a small, qoeerly constructed camera which he fastens on the breast of a pigeon and which is so arranged that photographs may be obtained while the bird Is in flight. The structure of the camera and the method of fastening It are his secret, and so is the delicate arrangement em ployed for opening and shutting the lenses for time exposures, says a Ber lin correspondent of the New York World. The Inventor claims for his apparatus a great future, especially as It will be an Invaluable aid to the sol dier In time of war. Neubronner says he can get a pic ture of the interior of a fortress in this way, and the military authorities ln Berlin are going to let him experiment on the fortress of Spandau, outside Berlin. Several blrdseye views he has obtained of Interiors of dismantled forts have been shown to the authori ties, who are said to be surprised at the results. The pictures are in no sense perfect, but they give complete Indications of all Important positions. Neubronner claims that his pigeon photographs will be as useful to the general ln the field as the balloon. The proportion of successes to falUues he reckons as three to seven. TO PAY FOR IMMIGRANTS. Australia Will 8oon Advertise wrhere If If A lar^e For Prospective Citizens, Whether the movement for an emi gration department under the control of the board of trade materializes or not, the commonwealth of Australia will shortly advertise for emigrants in the press of the United Kingdom. The government will establish bureaus sim ilar to recruiting offices, where every prospective emigrant will undergo an examination and where If he be ac cepted passage money and a land cer tificate will be provided him. It is iointed out that the continent of Australia, with twice the area of Eu rope, has only the population of Lon don. In England there are over 1,000, 000 unemployed. In Australia, where the minimum wage* are 8 shillings, or $2. a day and expert labor makes more than It requires, there are very few un employed, and these simply will not work because they can live sumptu ously on what they obtain from their families. They can secure a hearty meal, called a "counter lunch," with a pint of ale. for threepence. This lunch is given once a day, and the men may eat of roast beef, mutton, tongue, cheese, bread, etc., ad lib., the proven der being within their own reach and free to them. To disguise their Idle method of life they call themselves the "unemployed" and, having nothing to do for the remainder of the day, spend that time ln making or listening to vicious speeches by harebrained dem agogues who are always ready to gain their credence.
