OYAMA PRODS
GEN. LINEVITCH
Report That 70,000 Russians Are
Barrel from Retreat,
are hopelessly cut off
fomor also Pervades St. Petersburg
That Genera! Kuropa kin Has
Been Shin.
A rumor spread throughout St. Pe¬
tersburg Tuesday night that General
Kuropatkin had been killed. This
.rhmor was connected sometimes with
a report that 70,000 Russians had been
cut off by General Nogi’s array and
that Kurcpatkin liad been taken pris¬
oner.
A report receiveived in St. Peters¬
burg Tuesday from general Liaevitc'u
indicates that the Japanese advance
•continues steadily, and that the Rus¬
sian van posts, under pressure, are
retiring, fighting.
The military experts take anything
but a hopeful view of General Line
vitch’s situation. They do not be¬
lieve he can be surrounded, but ap¬
parently the experts do not consider
the possibility of a Russian victory.
Linevitch’s retirement to Harbin and
the isolation of Vladivostok seem to
be regarded as foregone conclusions
when Field Marshal Oyama strikes.
According to the latest news from
the front, which is thirty-six hours
old. Oyama, after forcing the Russian
right and center, transferred his
weight against the left, compelling
the Russians to give ground there
also.
Occasional heavy downpours of
Tain continue at the front.
General Linevitch, in a dispatch to
the emperor, dated June 26, reports
outpost affairs on June 24, the Rus¬
sians being driven in both south o?
the railway and the valley of Tsinhe.
In the region of Haihincben the
Japanese resumed the offensive June
22, and attacked and drove back the
Russian advance squadrons.

Weed of Teamsters’ Union Loses Job at
Hands of Executive Board.
The Chicago Post .rwirds the .fol¬
lowing: Formal removal of Internal
President C. P. Shea of the Brother¬
hood of Teamsters has been decided
upon by the international executive
board. The anti-Shea leaders in the
irbmmittee practically have voted to
depose the leader. A “trial” has been
held and President Shea has been
found guilty of violating the constl
tution and by-laws of the teamsters’
^'^organization. There is no appeal from
the actic-n of the international com¬
mittee. It is planned to promptly an¬
nounce the finding of “guilty” and to
declare the office of president vacant
until Shea’s successor shall be elect¬
ed at Philadelphia in August.
For weeks the international board
has opposed Shea and liis methods.
Fear that the move to depose the
leader would make him a “martyr”
among the rank and file and insure his
re-election as president caused mem¬
bers of the board to postpone their
action.
Monday night’s unequivocal vote of
the department store drivers and the
striking express wagon drivers and
against accepting the latest settle¬
ment of the employers and the pal¬
pable return to power of Leader Shea,
so far as the rank and file of the
teamsters is concerned, determined
the board to act.
. The specific charges against Shea
is calling a strike contrary to the
constitution and making expenditures
of the brotherhood's money contrary
to the terms of the constitution and
by-laws.
The board members do not charge
Mr. Shea with dishonesty in handling
the union funds, simply that his or¬
ders brought about expenditures that
had to be made on atcount of calling
a strike illegally. *
RAILROADS appeal Tax cases.
Supercerfeas Granted the Central of Geor¬
gia by Judge Pendleton.
Judge Pendleton of the civil branch
of the superior court at Atlanta has
granted a supereedeas in the injunc¬
tions which he recently denied in the
case of the Central and the Georgia
railroads against W. A. Wright,
comptroller general, and the tempo¬
rary restraining order holds good un¬
til the case shall have been decided
in supreme court of the state. These
roads sought to enjoin the collection
of $1,000,000 back taxes on $3,000,000
worth of stock in the Western rail¬
way of Alabama, jointly by them.
RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Made Subject of Strong Resolutions
3y Railway Conductors.
Whereas, the Congress of the Unit¬
ed States will have before it at the
coming session the question of addi¬
tional legislation affecting the Amer¬
ican railways, employing 1.300,004) peo¬
ple, therefore be it, by the Order of
Railway Conductors, in biennial con¬
vention assembled,
Resolved, That vve hereby endorse
the attitude of President Roosevelt iu
condemning secret rebates and other
illegalities, and commend the attitude
of the heads of the American rail- i
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have joined with the president on
this question, and be it further
Resolved, That we respectfully rep¬
resent to congress the inadvisability
of legislation vesting in the hands
of a commission power over railway I
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country; ;
that this low cost of transportation
is the result of the efficiency of Amer¬
ican railway management and opera¬
tion, which have built up the country j
through constant improvement in ser- j
vice and development of territory,
while at the same time recognition has j
been given to the value of intelii- \
gence among employes, in contrast to
foreign methods where high freight
rates and lowest wages for employes
obtain; that the freight rates of this
country average only two per cent ol
the cost of articles to the consumer,
thus making the freight rate an in¬
significant factor in the selling price,
numerous standard articles being sold
at the same price in all parts of the
country; and be it further
Resolved, That regulation of rates
by a government body would, in the
opinion of this convention, result in
litigation and confusion, and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction of rates
irrespective of the question of the
ability of the railroads to stand the
reduction, especially in view of the in¬
creased cost of their supplies and ma¬
terials, and be it further,
Resolved, That, the proposed legisla¬
tion is not in harmony with our idea
of the spirit of American jurisprud¬
ence, inasmuch as it contemplates
ihat a single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict, try and con¬
demn and then enforce its decisions,
at the cost of the carriers, pending
appeal, which is manifestly inequita¬
ble; and that if there is to be legisla¬
tion on this subject it should be such
as would secure and insure justice and
equity, and preserve equal rights for
all parties concerned, but in view of
the facts legislation affecting rates is
not called for at this time, and would
be inadvisable, and be it further,
Resolved. That this convention finds
itself in accord with President Roc-se
veit, who, in a massage to congress,
has’said: “It must not be forgotten
that our railways are the arteries
through which the commercial life¬
blood of this nation flows. Nothing
could be more foolish than the enact¬
ment of legislation, which would in.
terfere with the development and op¬
eration of these commercial agon
_
cies.”
The above resolutions were adopted
by the thirtieth session of the grand
division of the Order of Railway Con¬
ductors of America in convention as¬
sembled at Portland, Oregon, on May
12th, 1905, and it was ordered that a
copy be sent to each member of the
United States senate and of the
house of representatives, as well as
to the interstate commerce commis¬
sion.

pr t viihtf fa r . ———«*■——.___ __________ .
__
The rate is practically on the basis of one fare for the i v dnd
trip. Of course, if you wish to visit both California and Oregon
or Washington, the cost is slightly more.
These reduced rates are in effect on certain dates in months
of May to October, inclusive. They apply from all Eastern points
| via Chicago, St. Louis or Memphis gateways. The Rock Island
System will take you up in either Chicago or St. Louis, or at hundreds
of other Middle West points and carry you to the Coast in through
| Standard or Tourist Sleepers with unexcelled Dining Car service.
[ The Reck Island! also affords a choice of routes: on the ‘.scenic”
route you can stop off in Colorado—see Salt Lake City—visit
Yellowstone National Park; or. the “Southern” route you can go
via El Faso, thru New Mexico, then “up coast” to San Francisco
and on to Portland or Seattle if desired.
In short, these Pacific Coast excursions offer an unusually good
chance to see our western country in a comprehensive manner.
If you desire to go only as far as Colorado, there are excursion
rates in effect to that section and return, ail summer long,
specially reduced June 30 to July 4, August 12 and 13,
and August 30 to September 4, Extension trips to Ogden
or Salt Lake and return at low cost also.
From September 15 to October 31, 1905, one-way
tourist or “ colonist ” tickets will be on sale to California and
the Pacific Northwest—about half regular fare.
If interested, send name and address on this coupon, designating
v/hich booklet wanted and to v/hat point you plan to go. Name probable
date of start also, so we can advise definitely with respect to rates, etc.
