The passage yesterday of the Hepbum rate bill in the House by a vote of 346 to 7, places fairly and squarely before the Senate the question as to whether or not a just restraint shall be placed upon the railroads For some time past various Senators have expressed the opinion that pub - lie opinion is not so strongly. t upn rate regulation as it was.

Though beaten by the narrow margin of sixty votes, Mr. Steen has with all the graciousness that could be expected even in a victorious candidate, accepted the situation manfully. Mr. Steen publishes a card thanking his friends for their loyal support and indicating his purpose to be a candidate for sheriff four years hence, at a time" when Linus Meredith who has just won the nomination will ' have completed the term he will be elected to next' November. When the defeated candidate without hesitancy gives ' his endorsement to the victor and his party in spite of his own reverses,' he has won more friends and more.yotes than a year of campaigning in (the usual way could bring us s v 1 1 V - ..mere is a ieeung among .nepuoHcans; generally throughout the county that il would be advisable1 to Ji old the primary at a later date than February. ' Past experience has shown that the coldest weather and the deepest snows of the winter come in this month as a rule and even though a fairly heavy vote is polled the farmers are put to much trouble in getting to the polls. The primary of last Monday showed a big falling off of the vote, duo almost entirely to the weather conditions. ; A good many years ago Wayne county held a primary election in August. It was not a success in the way of getting out a full vote for the farmers were in the midst of their work and scores of them could not take the time to go to the polls. Though the farmers are busy in the early spring, also, it is the belief that a primary held the last Monday in March or the first Monday in April would meet local conditions better than any other time, Certainly the weather could not be as bad as that which usually prevails in February and it is also reasonably "certain that most of the farmer vote would be polled. It Ml '. , 'If T- . V - f j is not unlikely that the Republican j county committee two years hence, , will consider the advisabilitv of changing the time for the primary.'

To the Republican Voters of the county : I wish to hereby express to all who cast their ballots for me on last Monday my hearty appreciation for their loyal support, and further to announce that I will be a candidate for the same office in four years from now, and will greatly appreciate your support and influence once more. To Linus Meredith, and all who voted for him, I wish to congratulate you upon your success, and most earnestly solicit your support for my candidacy in four years hence. The fact that many of Mr. Meredith's friends, as well as my own, have come to me and said, you would be certain of success next time, having lost by only sixty votes, leads me to make this announcement.

HEPBURN BILL PASSED HOUSE

ALL BUT SEVEN REPRESENTATIVES VOTE FOR RAILROAD RATE BDLL. HOW UP TO SENATE There is Tendency to Change the Bill to Make it Much More Conservative. Washington, February 8. The House today passed the Hepburn railroad rate bill by a vote of 346 to 7. Those voting against the bill were Littletield, McCall, Perkins, Sibley, Southwiek, Vreeland and Weeks. With the passage of the rate bill in the House interest in this legislation will now center in the Senate. The Hepburn bill was sent over to that body this afternoon and was referred to the committee on interstate commerce, which has been wrestling with the rate question for nine months. The committee has agreed to begin voting on the various bills before it one week from tomorrow. No one would at this time attempt to predict how long it will take the committee to agree on a bill. The. tendency now is to change the 'Hepburn bill so as to make it conform in some measure to the conservative view of the dominant forces in the Senate.

FRANCE SECOND IN THE LIST English Roads Remarkable for Long Runs at High Speed Few Fast Trains in This Country.. New York, Feb. 8. Instinctively people think of speed as the first and most interesting feature of the railroad, and in view of the development of railroads in the United States most Americans will be surprised tc lirn that this country is not first in the matter of fast trains. England holds the lead and France is a close second. ; In this statement reference is made not to the short bursts of speed which this or that engine has shown, and may never show again, but to the regular scheduled run of trains. In looking first at England one is apt to be surprised to find how many fast trains and long runs without stops are made theire daily. V The fastest regular long distance n without stops in the world is on the Great Western from London to Hristol, llSVs miles in 120 minutes, or practically sixty-miles an hour. Inj order to drop passengers, at Bath a car is dropped from the train without stop, a time saving device in op eration on a number of European ronds, though still unknown here. r Tn- longest run without stop made in anySountry is London to Liverpool on uhe London & Northwestern, 201 miles, "Wade at the 'rate of fifty-fourt-iniles ai.hour. Sj The next .longest' is' on theY Midland," from London to Leeds. 1901 miles, a the rate of t fiftv-two milesl an hour. j The train ixl this: ountry coming

"We'll let him sleep awhile," said the old lady. "He's a little fellowafter all and tired out." You see she wasn't an altogether heartless creature, only extremely old and overworked. Jack must have slept f-n many hours. It was nearly midnight when he felt a light ouch on his arm and nearest to these long runs .without stop is the Empire State Express on the New York Central from New York to Albany, 143 miles at the rate of 53. G4 miles an hour; and the time of the same train to Buffalo, 440 miles in 500 minutes, is just a trifle faster than that of the Midland Express from London to Glasgow, 447 miles in 410 minutes. The Northwestern runs a train from London to Glasgow, 4OIV2 miles, in eight hours, making only two stops. The Great Northern runs a train from London to Doncaster, 15G miles without- stop in 169 minutes, at the rate of 554 miles an hour, and the train runs over England's new road from London to Sheffield, 165 miles in 170 minutes, better than 58 miles an hour, slipping a car at Leicester without stop. These fast and long runs are common to all the trunk lines in England, while in the United States the fast runs are all confined to two roads, the New York Central and the Pennsylvania. Compared to many English fast runs the time between New: York and Washington and Boston is . slow.- 'The distance to the two cities from NeW York is about the same, and in both cases, the fastes trains, make it in five hours (or a little over, now, to Boston) or at the rate of 46 miles an hour, three stops being made in each case. For runs of nearly 1,000 miles no country can show trains to compare with the New York and Chicago trains on the New York Central, the best trains making 9S0 miles in 1,080 minutes, or at 54 miles an hour. While this is not quite so fast as the time made by the fast trains from Paris to Lyons and Marseilles the distance is twice as great as across France.

The fastest ran in New England outside the Boston-New York run is from Boston to Portland at the rate of 44 miles an hour, and the showing is still poorer in the west and south.
