A COSTLY FIGHT.
The Railway Cut in Traffic Rates Has n

Chicago, Aug. 2-F. I. Whitney. repre-
senting the Great Northern Railway TO-
day, made Il statement here before thf
interstate commerce commission. which
is investigating the causes of the Cana
dian Pacific rate war.
Whitney maintained that the America
Pacific and as the price of peace hal
been obliged TO give up differentials.
Speaking of theincreased traffic brongh
about by the klondike boom, Mr.. Whit
ney declared that If the Canadian Pacih
had maintained tariff rates, the American
railway companies would not have sus
tanned enormous losses.
The speaker made strong point of tn
fact that the passenger rate throughou
the country had been completely demoral
lied as the result of the action of the Ca
madam Pacific Railway.
Mr.. Whitney said the Canadian Paclf
had forced companies TO reduce passenge
fares from New York TO Western point
to one cent a mile. He declared that sue
cut meant the loss of enormous sums
the companies. The transportation 0
passengers to those Western points cost
at least two cents 4 mile, and where th
country is billy and sparscly populated
the cost was even greater.
Replying To Il question rs to whethe
the Eastern lines had suffered throug
the lowering of rates, Mr.. Whitney SAL
he had been informed by railroad official
in New York that the loss to Easter
lines had been appalling. despite the fac
| that the volume of business had great!

Secretary Long sent a letter to the

San Francisco commencing them be-
cause of the splendid record made by
the Oregon. one of the ships built by
that concern in her trip around South
America. In reply the secretary has
received a note of acknowledgment
which in part says:
American designed and American
built, she has offered a new lesson to
other nations regarding the functions
of battlcship. and we are proud in
the fact that it has been demonstrated
to your satisfaction and approval that
our contract has been well and con-
scientiously performed.
But with all this. we believe that
much of the success of all vessels is
based on their intelligent handling by
their skilled officers, subordinates and
men, without which their usefulness
would be greatly impaired if nor
wholly destroyed"
