Mr. Thomas came to Chicago a week ago full of misgivings because he had been reading the wririugs of W. T. Stead and had come to the conclusion that Chicago was a “hell on earth,” to use his own expression. Other foreign writers and lecturers had helped him to reach this conclusion.

No doubt ought to be left with respect to the power of the com mission on such a subject, because the rules and regulations of a railway are the means by which injustice may be done to the shipper.

Leopoldville, Belgian Kongo, Sept. 20.—After several iiostponements the trial of the two American missiona ries, the Rev. William Morrison and the Rev. W. H, Sheppard, on charges of libel began here. The suit against the missionaries is brought by one of the Kongo conces sion companies having a monopoly of rubber gathering in the Kasai re gion.' It claims $20,000 damages from each of the men for “calumnious de nunciation.” The circumstances are .such that the suit is considered practi cally as brought by the Belgian gov ernment against the missionaries.

According to the plans for the re^ ception, the Oscar II. will enter the lower bay early and will .be met at quarantine by the reception commit tee. A great reception to the explorer will be held in Brooklyn, and he will be accorded all kinds of official and private honors in other parts of the city.

He is due in Deiiyer aU2 p. m. on Tuesday after a ride of fifteen hours. , During the presfdent’s stay here ac tive hostilities'in the street car war were suspended? This result followed partly frOru the desire of the striking car employees to see the president and partly from the vigorous measures tak en to prevent trouble. Omaha’s busi ness and political leaders had resolved that nothing should be permitted to mar the'-president’s visit to this city. Speaking at . Des Moines on the inter state commerce commission, and its work, President Taft said:' “The rate bill has now been in opera tion some three years, and it must be admitteci that: it has not furnished the relief against unduly discriminatory rates with the expedition and effective ness which were expected, f Delays In Decisions. . “An examination of, the decisions of the comnaission and the. resort ,td the courts by way of temporary injunctions fully justify the conclusion that one of the defects of the- present interstate, commerce law* is the delay entailed by litigation in the court over the correct ness of thp ,order in . the commission.

Y., Sept, 20.—The tangle which confronts the authorities of Suffolk county in the case of the shooting-of Irving J, Nelson, whose dead body'was found on the road near the Hosjaital For the Insane seems to be no hearer solution. Mrs., Nelson is . still held Tinder .surveillance ?at her lEisifiet;, Attorney; Furman wilV ac- knowiedge. • It i / known that four shotguns; one a twelve gauge in a condition that showed it had recently been fired, were found in the cellar of Nelson’s home; also an exploded twelve gauge shell was found in the road 300 yards from where the body w a s . discovered, and 4he gun experts who have examined the wound in the dead man’s back say that the heavy buckshot were fire'd from a gun of that caliber. iSchwarz is said to have admitted that the soiled gun is his property, but that he had not used it recently. At present Schwarz is held in the jail a^: Islip, which is a stronger affair than the .shanty lockup in this village. He has been subjected to a grueling cross examination nearly every day , since he was taken into custody, but steadily denies that he knows any thing about the murder. He weeps easily, and when his examiners show by their questioning that they believe him to have been concern bd in the kill ing be cries: “Irv was my best friend; we were lilie brothers. Why should I want to kill him?” The fact'is that\^ there is no trace of his complicity in the murder beyond the .story told by Mrs. Nelson that she heard Schwarz returning to the house at an early hour on Thursday morning, and that he re fused to tell her where he had been.
