SHIPPERS RIGHTS DEFINED.
Interstate Commerce Commission or
Through Rates.

IhrOuSh RATES,
The Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion to-day, in an opinion by Chairman
Cooley, rendered its decision in the case
of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific Railway Company against the Chi
cago and Alton Railroad Company, dis
missing the complaint.
The case Is controversy between
two railroad Companies, parties to this
suit, involving the right of the COM
plainant company to be protected in its
method of shipping cattle from points
west of Kansas City, billed through to
Chicago, and allowing them to be held
over at Kansas City for an indefinite
time to try the market there, and then
If reshpped, either the same cattle or
other substituted in their place, at the
through rate originally agreed upon;
that the defendant company shall have
no right to take the reshipnent from
Kansas City to Chicago at the proper.
tional rate of the original through rate.
On this point the commission hold as
follows
Where property is to be transported by
rail by continuous and uninterrupted carriage
from one station to another, there may be
sound and legal reasons for making a
charge for the through transportation
which is less than the sum of the locals for
the transportation of like property from
point to point between such stations.
But where property is billed from one
station TO another, with the understanding
that 1t is to be unloaded at an intermediate
station, and that whether it shall be re-
loaded for further carriage, will depend
upon the volition of the shipper or of any one
who may have become purchaser, the case
does not fall within the reasons governing
rates on through transportation, and the
carrier is not at such intermediate points
entitled to have the carriage protected as a
through shipment as against competitors

GEN. oRooK no am. MILES.
The Old Indian Fighter Replies TO ono
of His Critics

OF His Critics.
y few days ago the Chicago Nocs
published an interview with General
Crook, the grizzled oil Indian fighter,
in the Pullman building, in the course
OF which the General warmly defended
his scheme to remove GeIu nimo and his
little band Of broken. down Apache war
riors from their present unhealthy
quarters In Florida TO the Indian Terri
tory. In the course of his remarks
General Crook mildly criticized some
minor details of General Miles
memorable Apache campaign.
This interview was seized upon by
the newspaper correspondents and tele-
graphCd all over the country. IL Is
needless to say that il caused stir in
Army circles. When IL reached the
eye of General Miles, in San Francisco,
that official, according to dispatch,
breaks out into rather bitter language
General Crook laughed softly when
Ntles reporter little later called his
attention TO the dispatch.

says everybody out there Is denouncing
the scheme, and that it was an outrage
for me to support any such idea, an out
rage on the gallant soldiers who fought
TO rid the Territory of the deadly hos

officers descending to common fight,

the facts and records of the whole affair

boys who fought, or against their

that General Miles cannot get around
the facts by resorting to sentiment.

concerning my conduct being viola

Army regulations is concerned, | will
simply say this: / made no charges

Views OF the london Papera on the
Comnissioners' Report.


LONDON, Feb. 15.-The high.class
werklies are mainly Tory in their poll
ties, and some of them out Herod
Herod in their strenuous endeavors to
show that the Times and the Govern
ment are right and that the
Parnellites are the most aban-
doncd of men. They take
view of the commissions report Gu
TREY unfavorable to Mr.. Parnell. The
Spectator, for example, holds that the
report will have great effect in con
vincing the country that the popular
party in Ireland is controlled by forces
which are radically opposed to the
union.
The Economist defles The most
hide bound partisans to blame the Gov
eminent for striving to put down q
criminal conspiracy, which was Grim
inal both in its objects and in its mode
of action, and to relieve the people of
Ireland from an intolorable tyranny
maintained by murder and outrages."
The Saturday Reeie5o says that "The
report ought to convince the nation that
the members of the English party.
which is allied with men whose acts
nounces, has forfeited all claim to the
confidence, and even the respect, of
their fellow countrymen."
Such wild and whirring words as
these naturally serve to bring the organs
of the Government into some contempt,
because their violence and unreasoning
vituperation are like slap in the face
to the common sense of the English
people. They are helping the Liberal
party and the Irish cause good deal
The Standard says: The condemned
Parnellites may make themselves easy.
We trust the government will not be so
illadvised as to allow themselves
to be inveigled into starting
state prosecution, which would
promptly be laid hold of for party pur-
poses. There is nothing to be gained
by such proceeding. These men are
the chosen friends of men who have
held the highest offices in the State, and
therefore it would be folly on the part
of the Government to prosecute them
