wAsHINGToE, April 1S.-The Inter
State Commerce Commission to-day promuE
gated its decision in the matter of an inves-
tigation into the acts and doihgs of the

decision has been looked for with much in
terest by railroad officials. many of whom
were present at different times during the
progress of the investigation when the
Grand Trunk officials were before the COM
mission. The decision, prepared by Com
missioner Schoonmaker, is as follows:
First-The provisions Of the act to regulate
commerce apply to common carriers engaged
in the transportation OF passengers or properly
for continuous carriage of shipment from
place in the United States to place in an ad-
jacent foreign country.

charges for the transportation of passengers

Interstate Commerce Commission of copies OF
such schedules, the notice Of advances and re-
ductions and the maintenance of the rates,
fares and charges established and published
and in force at the time.
Third-Such common carriers are also sub
ject to the provisions of the act in respect to
Joint tariffs of rates. fares and charges for con-
tinuous lines or routes.

prevented from being treated as one continu-
Gus carriage from the place of shipment to the

persons greater or less compensation there
fore, or for any services in connection there
with, than is specified in such published sched-
ule as may at the time be in force.

sion it appeared that the Grand Trunk Railway
Company of Canada transports coal and coke
under q schedule specifying total rate from
Buffalo Black Rock and Suspension Bridge, in
the United States, to Hamilton, DundaS and
several other points in Canada; that the pub
lished tariff rate for such transportation from
the points named to Hamilton and Dundas is
81 a ton, but that it accepts a reduced charge.
or allows rebate of Is cents ton in favor of
certain consignees at Hamilton, Dundas and
other points in Canada.
Seventh-Held that the reduced charge ac-
cepted or rebate allowed is in violation of the
act to regulate commerce and unlawful

and to deal with violations of the law inde-
pendently of formal complaint, or Of direct

KEEP OUT OF OKLAHOMA.
skunks and Bedbugs Abound in the Prom

Washington Post.1
'"The Oklahoma boomers" says retired
army officer, "will find the whole country
occupied when they get there, and they will
have sweet time fighting for possession.
The first and strongest tenant is the skunk.
They are there, thousands, millions Of them.
When was in Dodge City the Indians
used to kill them in season, and sell the
pelts, which were brought to Dodge City in
bales by the wagon load. It viii be years
before chickens can be raised in Oklahoma.
Next come the bedbugs. They are thou
sand times worse than the sandfeas, and
are indigenous to the country. The soil
is full of them. Go into cornfeld and
turn down the husks of the corn in Septem-
Der, and they will skurry out by the score.
I pity the women who go there.
"Some of the Oklahoma country down to-
ward Texas is very good land, well-watered
and fertile, but up through the Cherokee
outlet it is as dry as Western Kansas, and
as worthless. Not one crop in three can be
matured on account of the drought"

GERMANY FOR PEACE.
Prince Bismarck Again Calls Down
His Warlike Consul at Samoa.
VERY FRIENDLY TOWARDAMERICA
The French Senate is Making Desperate
Effort to Discover
WHERE BOULANGER GETS HIS DOODLE
Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr.. Chamberlain
InYOlVed in Dispute.

Bismarck evidently desires no trouble
with America. He has again publicly
censured the conduct of Consul Knappe at
Samoa. All of the warlike movements of
this official are repudiated. Boulauger
continues to be subject of discord in Paris.
Lord Randolph Churchill has practically
given the lie to Sir Joseph Chamberlain.
Lively developments are expected.
BERLIN, April 1s.---A Samoan white
Book" has just been issued, obviously in
view Of the approaching of the Samoan con-
ference. In a dispatch to Herr Stuebel,
the new German Consul to Samoa. dated
April 16, Prince Bismarck censures Consul
Knappe's conduct throughout the troubles in
Samoa. He dwells upon the deplorable fact
that with an inadequate force and without
authority, urgency or likelihood of sue
cess, Consul Knappe took measures, on De-
cember IL, which resulted in the death of a
large number of persons and an undesirable
change in the position of planters, besides
jeopardizing peace with America, while
quiescence would have preserved a tolerable
state of affairs.
The sanction of the other treaty powers
being lacking, he says, Consul Knappe's
demand on the Consul for the foreign Gov
ernments of Samoa was of no force and COM
PEELED him (Bismarck) to notify Great
Britain and America of its withdrawal.
The Chancellor concludes by declaring that
Germany has nothing to do with the in
ternsl affairs OF Samoa; that her mission is
restricted to protecting Germans and en-
abling them to develop commercial inter
ests.
Prince Bismarck hasS.:issued an order in
which he defines the responsibilities Of COM
manders of war ships, with respect to re-
quests of consuls abroad.
The chancellor directs commanders to
examine for themselves the legal and politi-
cal grounds for such request,
unless the consul produces spec
ial authority from the German
Foreign Office. As the reason for his ac-
tion, Prince Bismarck refers to the recent
events in Samoa, where, he says, an unau-
thorized request resulted in great loss of life
and injury to German interests, and danger
was thereby incurred Of Germany becoming
embroiled with friendly nation, with no
conclusive reasons existing for the interven-
tion of armed forces.

Clergymen ofthe Catholic Church always
appear on the street cleanly shaved. Nine
out of ten of the thousands of them in the

shave themselves. Certainly they cannot
trim their own hair, and as yet not one has
been discovered who could manipulate the
locks of brother clergyman.
But whoever saw one of them in barber
shop having his hair trimmed? Casual
talks with New York BARRIERS show that the.
clergymen of this Church are among their
best customers, and that they appear very
arly IN the morning.
