TURKISH TREACHERY
Is Constantly Urging On the Massa-
ere of the Christians.
Bogus EditGri.Is and News Dispatches Sent
Out for This Purpose.

London, Dec. 20.-Thc correspondent of
the United Press at Constantfnople sends
the following, under yesterdays date:
The continuous publication aud circula-
ton OF official falls hoods, together with
the barricade against truth of every
avenue of publicity, has become one of the
most dangerous clements Of the present
situation at Constantinople.
"A censorship Of the Turkish press
exists Latterly, its sole object has been
to suppress facts and compel the publica
ton of editorials relative to the
Armenians, which are prepared at the
palace, and kilograms written under
physical compulsion by wretcbed Ar
menian prisoners in the dungeons Of
Asiatic Turkey.
The result of this use Of the press is
that the Mohammedan populace, even the
moderately educated gentlemen at Con-
stantnoplc, find their chief reason for dis
content with the Sultan in his failure to
order the destruction of Christians gen
orally.
They suppose that the Armenians of
ASlatic Turkey have murdered and
pillaged great numbers of Moslems; that
the reserves have been called into the field
to punish and reduce to order the Ar
menians, that the European powers in
tervened to prevent the restoration Of
order; that foreign gunboats como to the
Bosphorus to encourage the Christians in
their insurrection.
1.-The deduction made from this mass
of error is that the Christians are prepar
ing to massacre the Moselms, and there
fore the Moslems must first massacre the
Christians.

over 100000 tons of sugar a year. This is
about half cane and the other half beet sugar

the 100000 or more tons of cane sugar
annually eaten Cuba produces about one-thlrd
The little island lying so near the Florida

RULED AGAINST THE RAILROADS
Interstate Commission Decides u Cnse
from Sioux City.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The Interstate
Commerce commission today announced it's
decision in the case brought by E. ]. Dan
iels against the Rock Island and the Great
Northern railways, involving determinations
in rates between Sioux City, Sioux Falls and
Duluth. The word line" as used In the
statute the commission rules. means phys
ical line, and not a mere business arrange
ment, and carriers are prohibited from chsrg-
Ing through rates on traffic over a line
formed by connection of two or more roads
which are less as a whole than the rates in
force on like traffic carried under similar
conditions In the same direction over either
Of the constituent roads in such line. The
decision sets forth that the law requires reg
ulation of railroad charges according to the
ascertained rights OF persons and places It
is not an agency for the regulation of trade
by enabling shippers and communities to do
business or to put them on even terms with
rivals more remote from competitive terri
tory, and continues:
Tho relative equality enjoined by the
statute requires substantial modification for
the present disparity in rates from Chicago
to Sioux City and Sioux Falls, and under
present conditions such disparity in rates
from Duluth to Sioux City and Sioux Falls
should be discontinued"

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The Daily News
Washington special says: Congressman
Hardy Of Indiana introduced an important
bill today in the interest OF American rail-

traffic coming into this country from Canada
after II crosses the Canadian border into
this country. The bin repeals sections S,006
and 3.O0 of the Revised Statutes, which are
paragraphs Of the interstate law. Mr.. Hardy
says that goods coming into this country
from Canada are bonded and the Canadian
roads get all the freight charges. He pro-
poses to remedy the statute TO insure to
American lines the freight revenues that are
collected this side OF the Canadian border.
His bill is accompanied by resolution call
ing on Secretary Carlisle to furnish to con-
gress a statement Of the quantity and value
OF such goods that crossed the border last
year.
