THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
Eighth Annual Report-UnreasOnab
Freight Rates.

The interstate commerce commission
transmitted its eighth annual report to
congress today. The report says that it is
the duty Of shippers, railroad managers
and citizens generally to assist the govern
ment in running down violations of the
statute designed to protect their interests.
1t recommends that the carrying corpora
tons be made indictab.e and subject to
fine for violations of the act The report
speaks of the unreasonable freight rates
from Chicago and Cincinnati to southern
points; also Of the unreasonable rates on
wheat. 1t refers to the failure Of many
carriers to post their tariffs as required by
law The commission explains the neces-
sity of providing single classification of
freights for the whole country, saying that
experience has shown the necessity for
congressional action, and supports the be-
lief that uniform classification depends
upon the passage of statute requiring its
accomplishment. The report states that

shipping. billing, and the statement, col
lection and correction Of charges especially
as to the traffic over connecting roads is
conducted with much uncertainty. ,ack Of
system and regularity. so that it justitfes
charges Of gross careessness and disre-
gard Of the rights Of the shipping public.
After a lengthy view Of the railroad
pooling bill the report says:
I've submit for the consideration of
congress that pooling without other rem
edial legislation is unadvsable. Pooling,
under conditions to. be approved by the
commission and rendered capable of easy
and direct regulation with accompanying
effective and remedial legislation, we be-
lieve might be safely tried"
On the government ownership Of rail-
roads. the commission refralns from ex-
pressing any opinion.

it. Then stepping into his private office he
shot himself in the right temple, dying in

resign but refused. As a result an investi-
cation Of the charges against him was
made by the governor. II was developed

GERMANS HAND AGAINST Us.
She Has Now Put American Cotton
Seed oil on the Black List.


seed oil on the Black List.
Germany has taken the initial step to-
ward curtailing the importation of an
other American product, in the PROPOSE
ton now before the bundesrath to enor-
mously increase the duty on cottonseed
oil. The proposition is to increase the
present duty. which is 81 to $3.50, equiva-
lent to "A duty OF $50 per cent. and as the
proposition is supported by the combined
agrarian and prOtectonist industrial par
ties there can De little doubt that it will
succeed. The subject is treated at length
in a report TO the state department by
United States Consul Merritt at Bremen
He says that in the future cottonseed oil
and oil nuts and seeds will pay a high
duty The raising Of the duty Is support
ed by the report that its use for food pur
poses rose from 142, 600 pounds in 1885 to
over 900 pounds in 1898. BY means Of
simple processes of refining cOttOnSeed oil
can be turned into sweet oil and is used
to n great extent in the manufacture of
artificial butter and also for the cOnserva-
ton of fish.
'.AH this means in good German" says
the consul, "one pretends to strike at
cottonseed oil and means TO strike cleo
margarine. If officially drugged so as to
be unfit for transformation into food the
oil will be admitted at much lower rate
The result viii be considerable rise IN
the price of the material for the manufac-
turc Of oleOmargarne, for unlike our
American manufacturers, the Germans
have not succeeded in producing the oil
from the seed fit for good purposes
The consul marks the progress of this
traffic war in the following significant
paragraph: 4 mao hoped TO be able to
report that there was sincere desire on
the part Of the German people TO join the
people Of the United States in mutual
effort for the extension Of the commerce
of both countries, but the foregoing. to-
gether with the recent edict against Amer
lean beef would indicate TO a certain ex-
tent a different attitude In this country
toward the enlargement Of sales Of Ameri-
ran prOductS."

THEIR DEN DISCOVERED.
The Hills of Porter County Furnishes
Home for Robbers.

VALPARAISO, Ind, Dec. S.-Develop-
ments which have come to light in connec-
ton with a most daring series Of horse
robberies in this vicinity have thrown new
light upon the long suspected thieves re-
sort in this county. For several years all
northern Indiana and southern Michigan
have been suffering from cool and daring
robberies. Raids have been committed al
most in broad daylight and the thieves
have been successful in effecting their es-
cape. The past month the thefts have
been so numerous and bold detective was
put at work and he today announced that
he had discovered the headquarters of the
gang in Porter county. In the hills OF
West Chester township he found a large
cave, the entrance to which is so artfully
concealed that a close search cannot reveal
it to outsider, fitted up almost like

night by rumbling noise which increased
in volume and eliminated in the cracking
and sinking of the earth under six houses
The inmates were aroused and escaped to
place Of safety. During the night sev-

the household effects. The earth is still
slowly sinking and it is feared that the

THE NEW JAPANESE TREATY.
''Favored Nation Clause" Is Guarnn-
teed the Eastern Country.

The fun text Of the new treaty between
the United States and Japan, as given
exclusively in Associated Press dispatches
last night, has been the main subject of
comment in diplomatic and official circles
today. It was scanned with great interest,
as it gave the first exact details of the
instrument by which the United States
formally recognizes Japan as a first-class
power in the sisterhood of nations. Rough
summaries of the treaty-based on guess
work and conjectupe-had previously been
given, but the publication through the
Associated Press was the first opportunity
offered 10 inspect a verbatim copy of a
document which is guarded with the strict
est secrecy.
The treaty shows how fully the United
States has accorded Japan the recognition
she has now as an enlightened. modern
nation. All previous treaties have been
based on the theory that the relics Of
eastern barbarian still remained with
Japan. Accordingly she was not allowed

eral brisk debates. Mr.. Vests efforts 70
secure a change in the rules in order to

event Of the day. The usual dullness Of a

much to do at this particular time with
pending tariff bills affecting coal, iron
and sugar Mr.. Vest was formerly OPP

This is a net increase Of $1.O35696 over

The principal increase is in the suudry

Work of Cross-sectionine In the Chippewa
Country Will Be Pushed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. = Assistant
Chief Appraiser Reed Of the Red Lake
force of estimators nowin Washington.
has recommended to the department
that the work of surveying known as
cross-sectioning, be pushed as rapidly
as possible through the Chippewa pine
country. The pine is estimated by 40
acre tracts, and the lack Of cross
section lines seriously impedes the
work of the estimators. Commissioner
Lamoreaux says that the recommends
ton would be put into effect at once.
Mr.. Reed reports that the people in
the vicinity Of Red Lake reservation
are very anxious that it be thrown open
to settlement at once, and thinks that
there would be a very large immigra-
ton Of an agricultural population into
the reservation another season if the
lands were put on the market.

Regarding Senatorial Vacancies in Mon

Regarding Senatorial Vacancies in Mon
tana Washington and Wyoming.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Some ques-
ton has arisen as to whether the sena-
tors to be chosen to fill vacancies in
Montana, Wyoming and Washington,
a be elected upon the first day the
legislature meets, OF whether they must
wait until the prescribed day fixed for
the election of senators whose terms
begin shortly. Senator Dubois Of Idaho
has been looking up the matter for
some friends in the West, and has
found that senators elected to fill va
cancies must be elected in precisely the
same n as those to fill terms
to expire in the neal future.
This will prevent the election of sena-
tors to fill the vacancies until the time
when the regular senatorial elections
would occur. Another matter which
he ascertained in looking up the case
was that when these senators are
elected they will not draw salaries I'M
til they qualify, which is not the case
in the election of senators elected for
full terms. In the latter case, whether
they qualify on March 4 or not, their
pay begins. Idaho was admitted on
July 3, the senators elected began
drawing pay from that date. Since
then a provision has been inserted in
IN appropriation bill prescribing when
senators elected to fill the vacancies
shall begin to draw salaries.
