THE JUSTICE OF THE SEA.
, _1
The discipline of the sailor and the
soldier seems severe to those ac-‘
■customed to the easy ways of the
-land and peace. Capt. Kendall lost
.the Empress of Ireland through no
fault of his own, according to offi
cial finding, but he is not expected
to get another command. His fu
ture career must be ashore, and his
.training is only for the sea. It is
hard, but all who go to sea feel
•safer by the knowledge that their
Jives are more secure by the sever
ity of the sailor’s code, which makes
miserable the future of the captain
who offers even the best excuse in
stead of putting 'the ship’s company
ashore. On the other hand, the
clouding of the future of this fine
officer makes harder the escape of
the man found to be at fault.
All that can be done to Third of
ficer Tuftenes is to report him to
Norway, whose certificate he holds.
He holds no certificate which any
British jurisdiction can cancel and
the universal sailor’s code only ap
plies to the commander who loses
his ship. Of cringe there is no
charge, for only error of judgment
appears on the record, and it would
be hard to establish even that upon
criminal procedure. The case would
seenr to show that ships which ply
territorial waters ought to hold cer
tificates of the jurisdiction where the
certificate is used. Canada sees the
reason, and it is of wider applica
tion than merely to the Dominion

Commerce Commission Files Report—
No Increase On Coal, Which
Gives Half of Traffic.
,WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—The In
terstate Commerce Commission today
filed its report on the application
for an increase of rates made by
the railroads of the United States.
The commission is divided, the ma
jority report flowing the five per
cent raise on all roads operating
north of the Ohio river east of the
Mississippi as far east as a line
drawn through Buffalo and Pittsburg.
No increase is allowed on freight
east of the line nor are the roads
allowed to raise rates on coal, which
supplies one-half of all the traffic in
the east.
The great bulk of the freight
comes from the section west of
Pittsburg and Buffalo and east of
the Mississippi.
The average increase allowed is
one and a half per cent.

DEMOCRATS MEET
One Hundred and Seventy Delegates
Are Represented—All Is Harmon
ious—Met This , Morning.
SKAGWAY, Aug. 3.—The regular
Democratic convention met here this
morning at Elk hall and after or
ganizing the convention adjourned
tuntil 3 this afternoon, when the
credentials committee will have fin
ished the work on examining the
credentials of those presented.
Indications are that the convention
will be harmonious and that no
friction will result. Few contests are
reported to the committee.
FIGHTING ON LAND,
SEA, AND IN AIH
entire German army on the French
■border are true. Few troops are be
ing sent towards, Russia and the
Russians will be allowed to invade
German Poland with only such re
sistance as«can be made by the gar
risons now on the border and the
reserves of the third and fourth class
fighting from behind entrenchments
delaying the Russian advance. Ger
many plans to crush France at once,
and failing in that will lose all. If
the French hold the superior German
army until the arrival in their rear
of the Russians the war will be won.
Little can be heard of the Russian
and Austrian armies, "which are ex
pected to engage at any moment.
Russian Army to Strike for Berlin.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 3.—The
entire Russian army is to be sent to
wards Berlin, is the report current
here, the Russian war department be
lieving that by aiding France and
striking in the rear of the German
forces they will be able to give a
staggering blow to Germany. No in
vasion of Austria is planned. A
large army is to be gathered on the
Baltic for the invasion of Turkey and
for the purpose of capturing Con
stantinople, the prize long coveted by
the Russian government.
