INTERSTATE BUSINESS.
Santa Ec Can Again Haul from Mis-
s0uri River Points.

Galveston, Texas, December 20-under
recent decision OF the supreme court in
the Troy Ala, case, involving the Gues-
ton Of interstate commerce. the Cult
Colorado and Santa Fe is enabled to re-
store its freight rates that were formerly
in force from Galveston to Missouri river
points The announcement was made to-
day that the old rates were ia force again,
and consequently the Santa Fe will be in
position to meet competition by water
routes About eighteen months ago the
complaint was made that the Santa Fe was
hauling freight through Wichita from
Kansas City and other Missouri river
points at less rate than the same freight
from Wichita, The interstate commerce
commission ruled that it was violation
OF the long and short haul clause Of the
interstate commerce act and ever since
then the Santa Fe has been sacrificing
its Missouri river business in order to
save thai Of the intermediate points. The
point involved in the Troy. Ala, case just
decided was exactly similar to the one
raised in Kansas against the Santa Fe.

A Possible Rescue

NEW YORK, March 20.-The steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm 1, Capt Hogemann, from
Mediterranean ports, arrived today. On
Wednesday last. while in latitude 40.1
north and longitude 1921 west the
steamer passed the English tramp
steamer Yanariva, which sailed from
Newport News on March 10 for Glasgow.
The Yanariva signalled the Kaiser Will"
helm, but owing to some mistake the
signals were not plainly understood.
Chief Officer Dannenman of the Kaiser
Wilhelm said tonight that as far as they
could make out the signals were "Siy.-
teen St. Nazairre, French" The Off
Ger said that he was under the impress
sion that the Yanariva had seen the st.
Nazairre but had been unable to get
to her on account of the rough weather.
Then again he said it might have been
that the English ship had succeeded in
rescuing sixteen of the ST. Nazairre' s
marines and that they were on their way
to England.
