The complaint alleges that the carriers
practice of charging uniform rates of
80 cents on milk and 80 cents on cream
per can of 40 quarts from all shipping
stations on their respective lines. with
out regard to distance was unlawful.
The commission decides that the uni
form rates complained Of are unreason-
able, unjust and unduly preJudicial to
producers nearer the points of delivery
for the New York market, and that for
this traffic there should be at least four
divisions of stations, namely: The first
group should extend 40 miles out from
the terminal; the second group should
embrace stations within the next go
miles; the third group should include
points within the next 30 miles and the
fourth group should cover stations be-
yond 80 miles from the terminal.
The rates on can milk should not ex-
ceed % cents for the first, or 40 mile
group, 26 cents for the second, or 90
mile group, 30 cents for the third, or 80
mile group. and the rate of 80 cents Is
held not to be unreasonable from sta
tions in the fourth group. A rate which
Is Is cents greater per can on cream
than on milk, the present difference, is
held to be not unreasonable. The order
to be entered is limited to interstate
traffic. No order is made as against
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad company, the rates on
which road are now much lower than
those determined lawful for the Other
carriers. :.

Rome. March 15,--It Is officially an
bounced here that the result of the
pour parlers of the powers yesterday
is definite arrangement not to reply
to the Greek note, but to tissue orders
to the foreign admirals to establish an
immediate blockade of the Cretan
ports.
This arrangement Is somewhat in the
.s....Ie of concession to Russia and
France. Russia. during the middle Of
last week, proposed, with France Sec
onding the proposal. another joint note
to Greece, insisting on the withdrawal
Of the troops instead of an immediate
resort by the powers to force. Rus
sla's action was inspired. 1t is officially
stated, by certain sympathy for
Greece. but SO many objections were
raised by each power In turn to this
suggestion that the other course has
finally been agreed upon. 1t Is thought
that the simplest way to carry out the
threat made in the identical note will
be the blockading Of the Cretan ports
and the landing of forces sufficient to
insure the maintenance of order leav-
ing future action as to the fate of
=. -.Cssteatp later negotiations. This was

Got Drunk on CIeveIand's Wine.

Trenton, March 15,-Five Trenton
employees Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company have been discharged for
getting drunk on wine belonging to ex-
President Cleveland. The wine was
shipped from Washington to Princeton,
the ex-president's new home. The car,
it was claimed, had been broken into
and the wine stolen. The men deny
that it was stolen, and said that one
of the cases was broken and that the
wine was given to them by an employe
of the express company. Whether the
wine was stolen or not the men got
drunk on it, and the company decided
to dispense with their services. The
officials refuse to give the names of
the offenders.

such an attitude Is unsatisfactory.

once they had appeared they were mas

congress, once In session. may go much
further or not 90 far as the president
may wish.
The first business In order in the
house after the formal opening was the

action of the Republican caucus on
Saturday night, all the old officers were
reelected, as follows: Thomas 3. Reed,
