United states VIII Continue Its Past
Policy I'm Eurnne

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.--In the present
state Of affairs IN Turkey the Navy de-
partmont will not add to the strength of the
United States squadron now in Turkish
waters. which will consist Of the San Fran
cisco and the Marblehead. 1t is felt that these
two vessels are ample to protect American
residents in Turkey, even in the event of
actual hostilities, and to assemble a strong
naval force there now might be construed
as a joint participation by the United States
in the demands which are being made on the
porte, whereas our government has no in
tentiOn of becoming embroiled in any
European complications.
The Asiatc squadron is to be kept at its
present full strength for some time to come
certainly until there is no longer reason to
apprehend further wars in the east or any
uprising against foreign missionaries. As
some of the vessels have been long time
on the station, and many of the officers and
men have served more than the time usually
regarded as tour of sea duty, or in the
case OF the men the period for which they
enlisted, the department will undertake to
relieve them as rapidly as possible. without
weakening the force on the station. So as
soon the Boston can be made ready she
will sail from San Francisco to China. and
arriving on that station she will relieve the
Concord, which will return to Mare island.

pairs will not be extensive. she will ship

crew as care to re-enlist, and return to the
Asiatic station, relieving in turn another YES
sci, which will go through the same routine
and so on until the change has extended to
the entire squadron.

TRANSMIsSOIRI LINES PULL OUT.
Cannot Agree to Join Western Pas
senger Association.


CHICAGO, Nov. 13-The adjourned meet
ing of the transmissouri lines convened this
morning to take up the question Of joining
or not joining the Western Passenger asso-
citation. Late this afternoon the meeting
adjourned without having taken action at
all and it was left with Chairman Caldwell
as to when the next meeting should be
called. The collapse of the plan to have the
lines become members of the association was
due to the fact that no agreement could be
reached on the territorial limits to which the
agreement should apply. Some of the lines
wanted it to include only the business up to
Colorado common points, while others were
anxious to have it take all the through
traffic to the Pacific coast. 1t being prob
lem as to whether or not this could be done
it was decided to drop the transmissouri
feature of the thing for the time being and
allow the transContinenta lines to see whether
they can get together and form an agreement
that will include not only all the through
traffic to the coast, but that to Colorado
common points as we'll. The meeting of
the transcontinental lines will be held in this
city on November 2l.
The meeting of the western freight agents,
which was held yesterday for the purpose
of considering the reduction in rates to Utah.

today, but up to a late hour nothing definite
had been arranged 1t is more than likely
that all of the interested roads will reduce
I
matter has not as yet been definitely de-
termined. The reductions, if they are made,
will be of a warke nature, as the roads seem
to be firmly of the opinion that unless they
take radical action of some sort the Southern
Pacific will take all of their Utah traffic
away from them.
The lines have decided to ignore the long
and short haul clause of the interstate COM
meIce act in making their rates from Chicago
to Utah. They base their right to do this
on decision handed down in the United
States circuit court in this city in 1892. The
decision declared that the word cline" as
applied to the fourth section Of the act is
limited to one road and that two connecting
roads are not line. Under that decision
short haul charges greater than the through
rates over connecting lines are not in viola
tion Of the law. AS all the Utah routes from
Chicago are made up over two or more roads
the lines are at liberty to make as low rates
as they wish. An association. Of which p.
j. Flynn is to be chairman, will be formed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The Navy de-

from the New York navy yard respecting the

The principal point to be developed Is how
the injuries were sustained, whether in the
touching Of the ship as she entered the

As there was no larger and deeper docks

induced the department officials to defer the
docking for ten days. in order to wait for
a tide high enough to give the necessary
draft of water at the entrance of the dock.
If the trouble with the Texas is found to be
in the ships design. then she will probably
be flOated out Of dock as soon as her pro-
pellor blades are placed, for 1t might be
dangerous to draw off the water now in the
dock and allow the ship to rest with her
full weight upon the keel blocks In such
case the gravast difficulty will be encountered
at the next attempt to dock the ship, which
cannot be deferred longer than year, and
1t may be found necessary to remove her
guns and all heavy weights including, per-
haps, part OF her armor, before this can be
done safely.

WASHINETUN, NOV. I3.-COnsuI General
Jernigan at Shanghai has made a special
report to the State department upon the
four new treaty ports which have been
opened by China to the worlds trade
namely: Chung King, in Szechuan Hang
Chow, in Chekiang; Foo Chow in Kiang Su,
and Sha-Tssee or Sha Shi. He shows that
these are all great cities, located in wealthy
sections and generally accessible by water.
One popularity of Chinese institutions
which he touches upon is variety of boat

tread mill. Passengers are taken free, as
they should be, considering the fact that
they are obliged to walk the entire distance
