The general impression at Manila Is that the

chase improved weapons, and that when all
preparations are made another revolution will
begin. With modern weapons and plenty of
ammunition the insurgents In the recent revolu,

Interstate Commerce Commission suapends the
Long and short Haul Clause.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission has suspended the operation
OF the long and short haul clause of the Inter-
state act in favor Of railroad lines in
the United States in competition with the Cana
dian Pacific road as to passenger business be-.
tween points in the province Of Manitoba and
contiguous territory and points upon the De-
troit and st. Clair rivers and ~eastarly thereof in
the Dominion Of Canada ard in that part of
the New England States reached directly by the
rails of the Grand Trunk Railway.
In view Of the fact that the Canadian Pacific
road is cutting passenger rates between st. Paul
and the Pacific coast. as well as between New
England and Manitoba points, the American
roads, it is expected, tomorrow will ask the
commission to extend the scope of this relief in
order TO include these additional competing
points, conditions being similar.

lcitation of Athens Grange, arranged to
deliver an address before that organiza-
ton, Saturday evening, the 10Th instant,
but on account of severe sickness in his
family and the death of his brother-in-
law, Mr.. Fred Cony, Mr.. Manley was
obliged to ask the people OF Athens to
change the date of his address. 1t is a
disappointment to him as we'll as the
grange and it is hoped that he may be
able to address Athens people at an
early date.
