DECIDED UPON A POLICY


The American Peace Commission Hold
Long Session.
PARIS, Oct. 28.-The American peace
commission was in session during the
whole afternoon. The deliberations had
no relation to the question of the Cuban
debt, upon which the attitude of the
United States has been strictly deter
mined. The commissioners discussed
the Philippine question and decided
upon policy. It is believed the COM
missioners have full power to deal with
the matter as they may Judge best in the
interests of the United States.

THE TELEPHONE WAR.
Citizens Continue to Discuss the Local
COMPANY.

Because of the inability of counsel for the
respective parties to agree as to the word
ing Judge Cox has not yet signed an order
in keeping with his decision in the Hotel
Fredonia telephone case. The attorneys for
Mr. Danenhower and the legal representa-
tiyes of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company today submitted to Judge
Cox their respective drafts of the proposed
order. From the two, it is expected. the
court will prepare and sign the final order
in the case.
1t is understood that litigation, so far
as the existing local telephone system is
concerned, is by no means at an end. A
Star reporter was To-Day pformed that a
prominent business man proposes, in the
near future, to file suit. He intends to
maintain in the courts his right to tele-
phone his place of business, where is To-
Gated a telephone for which he is a regular
subscriber, through the medium of any
other telephone instrument in the city,
without making payment therefor, in ad-
dition to the OCULAR amount paid for the
use of the phone at hiS place of business.
The course to be pursued, it is said, may
be by suit in equityo suit at law, for man
damus OF suit at law to recover damages.
still Interested.
Local business men continue to discuss
the telephone crusade with undated inter-
est and more and more stories of the pc
to the surface. The head of one of the
biggest business houses in the city recent
ly, according to one of these stories, was
informed by Mr.. Bryan, the president of
the telephone company, that his telephone
was being used by outside parties, and that
such use would have to stop. The bust
ness man promptly responded that it should
stop. He told Mr. Bryan that his firm used
and paid for twenty-four telephones, and
that he wanted every one of them taken
out the next day, and that, further, he pro-
posed to issue directions to his employees to
cut every teleohone wire that crossed any
of his property, and there were a good
many of them. 1t is, perhaps, needless to
say that nothing more was said by the
telephone company about outside use of
this gentleman's telephones.
Mr. G. II. Henry writes to The Star:
when l was doing business in Cleveland,
Ohio, last summer the Home Telephone
Company charged two dollars for house
service and three dollars for business pur-
poses per ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wires and
best of service. All through Missouri and
lower Illinois the service is lower still. De-

A New CanceIinE Ink

The Post Office Department has intro
duced new cancelinS ink for use in the
service. The officials think it is superior
to that now in use because OF the fact that
1t neither dries on the pad or clogs the
stamping machine and penetrates the fiber
of the stamp itself to such an extent that
1t cannot be eraced without destroying
the surface of the stamp. The use of the
new ink will, 1t is said result in a con-
siderable saving to the government, as it
will prevent the washing of stamps with
view to their further use as is now done
to some extent.

sc me merchants in the disturbed country,
&C mbined and offered 100000 for the head
of the dictator.
The politicians went into the sch eme to
regain their power and the merchants to
avoid the heavy taxation on their prop
erty. The fact was notorious in Guatemala
and Barrios himself knew of the offer.
There was much talk about it, and it was
fully expected that attempts would be

the first Of the year officer of the Aca-
pplco. which plies between this port and
Central American ports, said in an inter-
view here: 1--WE heard in Central American
ports that there was a standing offer of
100000 for the death of Barrios. He is
well guarded, however, and whoever earns
the blood money will have to run numerous
risks There are hundreds ready to take
the chances, and soon the coffse
crops are In you will see that a number of
attempts will be made to take the life of
the president of Guatemala.
THE leaders of the late rebellion are all
within striking distance of the Guatemalan
fl ontier, and when their plans are matured
they will make their presence felt. Quite
a number of people whose business keep
then in Guatemala have sent their wives

Must Cease Granting Storage.

The interstate commerce commission, in
an opinion by Commissioner Yeomans, has
announced its decision of the case brought
by the American Warehousemen's Associa-
ton against the Illinois Central Railroad
Company and fifty-two other carriers,
known as the free storage case 1t holds
that a common carrier with no general duty

periods, in connection with its primary OBJ
legations as a common carrier. cannot as
sumo to provide shippers with valuable
warehouse facilities which are not essen
tial to its business as a carrier, without
furnishing them for all shippers at all
times and upon the same terms and notify
ing the public. Carriers will therefore be
required to plainly indicate upon the
schedule published and filed with the COM
mission what storage in stations, ware
houses or cars will be permitted and all the
terms and conditions upon which the same
will be granted. The order takes effect
April 1, and from that date all carriers
must cease granting storage, which is not
a necessary and ordinary part Of receiving
