CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The feature of the
days session Of the investigation Of
the transcontinental rate war by the
interstate commerce commission was
the address of Vice President Olough
Of the Great Northern road, who pre-
sented the political and economic side
Of the controversy to the commission.
In beginning his address he said it
would be the duty Of the commission
to make recommendations to congress
in order that legislation with regard to
railways could be altered. He said
that the Canadian Pacific railway had
tapped all the important traffic centers
in the United States, and it, policy
was to haul freight from
One American Point to Another
at rates which the American lines 10.
fused to accept. He contended that
the exceptional circumstances Of thu
case called for exceptional legislation.
The statistics of the customs depart
ment showed, he said, that tho freight
traffic diverted TO tho Canadian Psci6o
amounted to nearly OF quite 10000, 900
tons every yesr, and represented . loss

Another Story of the Affair at Guan.
 tanamO.

Cape Haytien. June 14.-t5:4O p. m-) The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis and several dispatch boats. it is reported here. brought to Mole St. Nicholas to- day story that landing was effected by the Americans last Monday near Guantanamo. According to this ac- count the Americans took possession of fortified position commanding a portion of the port, but the Spanish rallied and attacked the invading force, finally dislodging it and retaking the position
 This information does not tally with a cablegram received on Sunday night by United States Minister Powell, which asserted that 5000 Americans had landed at Santiago bay without encountering serious opposition.

The Insurgent Leader Becoming a Per
 picking Problem.
His Evident and Obstinate Purpose to lake the Lead of the United States in ReOrganizing the Govern
 ment of the Philippines.

Washington, June 14.-(Special. J. The administration has not by any means succeeded in solving to it's own satisfaction the problem what to do with Aguinaldo. The extraordinary and unexpected prominence which the placing of arms in his hands and giv- ing him. the moral encouragement of the United States is most embarrassing. It has made him one of the controlling factors in the Philippine islands.
 Aguinaldo proposes to settle the mat ter by proclaiming himself dictator under the protection of the United States. But there cannot be two dic- tators in the same place at the same time. Governor General Merritt will carry out with him such wide authority as to constitute him supreme dictator over the islands, until their final dis position can be determined upon. He is to collect customs duties, levy taxes and exercise all the functions of gov ernment. The person who is to be col- lector of the port under his orders has alreaoy been designated. and has filed bond with the treasury department.
 Aguinaldo cannot be dictator unless he has something to dictate. Except that he has proved himself competent fighter, and able to exercise consider able control over a portion of the na- |tives of the islands, little is known of him here. He is to some extent vouch- ed for in reports received from MT. Wildman, our consul at Hong Kong, but the information given is very vague. His principles appear to be embraced in the one idea of driving out the Spaniards and putting an end to their reignsof extortion, oppression and cruelty. To that extent. he was ac- cepted as znsally of the United States.
 But even when taken on board Ad- miral Dexey'ssfieet and under the pro- tection of our forces Aguinaldo mani

CONSTRUCTING DEMOCRATS.
A Caucus Agrees to Oppose Hawaiian
 Annexation.

Washington, June 14.-At a caucus of the democrats of the house held immediately after the recess of the house was taken resolutions were adopted declaring it to be the sense of the democrats of the house to oppose Hawaiian annexation, as consum- nation that would prove injurious to the interests of the United States and contrary to the long established and generally recognized policy of the gov ernment. The action was taken after one hour had been consumed in dis cussing the advisability of adopting any resolutions upon the proposition o- <; l f-ii sz LEI iS

fested considerable will power, not to say obstinancy, of his own. He posi- lively refused to land where Dewey first suggested to him, or to effect . junction with other insurgent chiefa It was to be Aguinaido or nothing. Just now there seems to be little too much Aguinaldo. There is not the slightest hint in Consul WNdman's correspondence as what the .'Filipis,, nos" desire to do after .hey have seen the Spaniards expelled. They have not. like the Cubans, manifested an inten- tion of setting up a form of repubii- can government for themselves.
 All the conditions in the islands. with their extraordinary mixture of races, languages and religions pre- clude the present consideration of such a plan. A wise and liberal dictator ship is obviously the best thing for them just now. But what part Agui- naldo proposes to play in establishing a form of government on the islands is an unknown quantity. This was one of the reasons why General Merritt insisted upon being furnished with 50 large a force: this again is a reason why he has been so restive under ths delay in providing transports for the troops.
 Navy men break through the retic- ence imposed upon them by offcial or ders sufficiently to say Keep your eye on Sigs5ee and the St. Paul." It is not for nothing that this fleet cruiser has been coaled and provisioned to it's utmost carrying capacity and has tak- en or board double crews and has sailed under sealed orders. She may next be heard from off the coast of Spain, with a few big prizes in her wake. There seems no other way of tempting Admiral Camara to forsake the safe shelter of the harbor of Cadiz.

THE NEXT EXPEDITION.
More Important Than the One En
 Route to Cuba.

Washington, June 14.-Oficial in
 formation reached Washington to the effect that, the fleet of transports for Santiago which was supposed to have
 left yesterday for Cuba, had not sailed up to an early hour this morning. No reason has been stated so far as has
 been learned, for this very unexpected
 delay in the movement against San tiagp. Officials positively decline to discuss the matter, but clearly show by their manner that the. news is most unwelcome. Later advices received during the afternoon show that start was actually made yesterday, but the movement dragged and that many of the ships did not move until some time lthis forenoon. It is supposed all the vessels are now fairly under way. The public probably will be fully informed tomorrow concerning the movement as the authorities have determined to withdraw the censorship thus far en- lforced from Florida points some time tomorrow. Allowing three days for the trir General Shafter's forces will be in the vicinity of Santiago by Friday noon
 and it is expected debarkation will
 take the rest of the day and night and part. of the following day.
 With the first expedition actually out
 of the country the authorities here
 have quickly turned their attention te another expedition even more import ant than the initial one. It is expect
 ed that plans for this second invasion will be matured at once and as a re suit another expedition will leays
 within. ten days of this time for Porto Rico. Details for this movement are approaching completion There are about fifteen transports already avail
 able and the listswill be increased as rapidly as possibls.5

 Its latest effusion. however, threat ems to prove the direct cause of the prolongatlon of the war.
