INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Judge Brewer Says Through Rates
May be Made.

Judge Brewer Says Through Rates
May be Made.
CHICAGO, October 25.-Judge Brewers de-
cision in the Northwestern case, declaring
that two or more roads may make proper
tionate rates to meet the through rates of a
competing line without in the least disturb
ing their local rates, is causing a good deal
of comment among railroad men. They are
both surprised and gratifed. Heretofore
they have been restrained by the interstate
commerce commission from meeting Cana
dian competition on the ground that to do so
without cutting down locals to a correspond
ing level woul1 be'a violation of the laws.
Generally speaking, the local traffic of the
roads, both east and west of Oh cagO, Is too
valuable to be sacrificed for the purpose of
protecting through traffic and as conse-
Quence, the Canadian Pacific and its allies
have for several years been able to apprOpri-
ate a large percentage of their through busi-
ness that has properly belonged to the Amer
lean roads. Judge Brewers decision has
changed all this. In effect, he tells the Amer
lean roads that they can legally meet such
competition without changing their local
rates at all.
For example, the Canadian Pacific has
published tariff on the basis of 81 cents,
first-class, Boston to St. Paul. The lowest
frst-class rae from Boston to Chicago is 90
cents. From Boston to st. Paul is is so
cents, making the through rate, which is
based on the sum of the locals, S1.2O per 100
pounds The lines connecting at Chicago
are told they must join in making 81 Ger
cate from St Paul to Boston, by way OF
Chicago without reducing any of their loo j
rates, Notwithstanding the construction that
has heretofore been put upon the long and
short haul clause of the interstate commerce

SAN FRANcIsCo, CAL, October 25.-The War
Kee. Chinese newspaper published in this
city. prints what purpOrts to be mail sum
mary of the news from China, by the last
steamers.
Among the articles is one believed to be
be in the nature of confidential Instructions
to the Chinese consuls in the United States.
1t is suggested that they make speedily
and emphatIcally as possible, certain repre-
sensations to the senators and congressman
at Washington. The proposition advanced
is that every Chinese in this country Is COM
PEELED by the Geary law to register within a
year, with the alternative of going to jail or
being expelled from the United States. Con-
corning this proposition the article says I:
''China has plenty of wealth, plenty OF guns
and big ships of war of modern construction
and plenty of soldiers. China Is not afraid
of the United States, and can cope with her
in war. But China does not want to tight
with the United States, for there are many
other means of retaliation" The article
goes on to state that the people of the United
States were nervous after the New Orleans
affair when it was feared Italy might send
war ships to their shores to demand satisfac-
ton for the slaughter of her citizens, and
that the United States began hastily to con-
struct battle ships and guns. China, it says,
has both these, but the United States Is not
ready. If the registering act Is persisted in
China will insist that American residents IN
China shall register and wear tags on the
penalty of imprisonment and expulsion.
China will also impose a heavy tax on Amer
lean imports, particularly -four and cotton.

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.

Another Bridge Across the MIssIs-

Beggars-More Electric Roads.
ST.. LOUIS, October 24.-For years the peo-
pie of North st. Louis have had to ride four
or five miles before they could get to the
Eads bridge, near the center of the city, and
cross to the Illinois towns. East st. Louis
and Madison, where many of them were en-
gagged in business. Lately they got engineers
and had estimates made of the cost of a
vehicle bridge in their part of town. The
engineers reported that one couldn't be built
for less than two or three millions. Tho
Merchants bridge, which spans the river be-
tween North st. Louis and the other side. Is
only a railway bridge. The men who wanted
another bridge went to the directors of the
Merchants company, and asked what terms
thew could have highway built along the
railway. quite an engineering feat by the
way. They were told the company would do
It for $35O,OO0.
sFWe'n accept" said the North ST. Louis
men.
The building of this new bridge, for it is
one. practically, will result in an enormous
increase in the business on both sides of the
river.
Thousands of people who came to st. Louis
during the last few weeks, when the city was
crowded, gave a nickel or a dime to the beg
gars they saw on the street corners. There
were all sorts of beggars, blind, MANNED and
musical, ana all or Ghem reapeQ harvest,

time the throng fill the streets next fall, and

Nav Resist a Reduction

LONDON, October 28.-W1th view to avoid
ing the threatened strike among the cotton
operatives, the mayors of Liverpool and
Manchester are trying to induce the dlsputants
to arbitrate their differences. The opinion
is general however, thai the negotiations to
bring about the arbitration of the trouble
will prove fruItless.
It is estimated that the threatened strike
will affect 13, OOo, 000 spindles. The Masters
confederation controls Is, O00, 900. The spin
dies in North and Northeast Lancashire and
Bolton will not be affected and the 5000, 900
spindles in these districts will be run as usual,
paying the federation fine of one farthing
per spindle a week. If L., 600, 900 spindles
stop, $1,000 persons, large proportion of
whom are women and children, will be idle.
The funds of the operatives organization are
large and already support has been received
from the spinners in the unaffected districts.

The Funeral Train Leaves Wash
IngtOn.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 27.-At an
early hour Undertaken Spear was sent for,
and Robert A. Parke, southeastern passenger
agent of the Pennsylvania railway, was also
summoned to await information of the wishes
of the president and his family in regard to
arrangements for the transportation of the
lead and the funeral party to Indianapolis.
Funeral services in Washington will be held
this morning. 1t is the special wish of the
family that the services shall be as private as
possible. The funeral will be q personal
and not public one.
AS far as the official position of the presi-
dent Will permit, the services Will be the
same those customary in the case of
private family.
Invitations are strictly limited and no per
sons will be allowed to be present without
them. The funeral services will undoubtedly
be held in the East room. This Is the largest
room in the building and in fact the only
one adapted to the holding of services. even
as private as those which the family desire.
They will be conducted according to the
Presbyterian FORMS by Rev. DR.. Thomas
Hamlin, pastor of the Church of Covenant,
on Connecticut avenue, of which the presi-
dent and Mrs. Harrison have been regular
attendants The body Will not lie IN state.
After services here the funeral party will
leave Washington at noon or soon thereafter
for Indianapolis, where services of a more
pubic CndTdCbCE Will bdAG pldCcs IL u pIOO-
| able that the funeral tram will reach Indian
apolis early Friday morning, and at about
| 10 O'Clock the church services will begin.
They will take place in the First Presbyterian
church of Indianapolis, on the corner of
New York and Pennsylvania streets. The
Rev. DR.. NJ. I. Haines, pastor of that church,
will Officiate. The body will then be taken
| 10 Crown Hill cemetery and inferred, after
/ which the president will return to Washing
| ton.
The president has no lot in the cemetery,
but the telegraph has been called into use
and by this means a selection of last rest
| ing place for the loved wife will be made.
| The postponement of the services until to-
| day has necessitated delay involved in max
/ ing these arrangements at a long distance.
Private Secretary HalfOrd, who is in charge
/ of these arrangements, emphasizes the state
ment that the services in the White house
will be strictly and absolutely private. 1t Is
| the earnest wish of the president and the
family, also the wish of the dead women her
self, who was IN life averse to public cere-
monies. Only the kinsmen of the president
and his late wife, probably the members Of
the cabinet and their families and a very
few intimate friends, are hidden to the fu
neral services here.

1t was some weeks before this attack yielded
to treatment Last winter she had second
