RAILROAD RATES
Always to Be But Never Are Quite
Settled

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The roads of the
Western Passenger association met to-
day for the purpose of considering rates
and arrangements for Alaska business.
At the meeting yesterday the roads of
the Central Passenger association sug-
gested that the western roads agree
upon routine matters concerning the
sale of the tickets and that they would
then submit the matter a mass meet
ing of their lines, and if the arrange
ments offered by the western roads are
at all satisfactory it is likely that they
will be accepted by the eastern connec-
tions. 1t was expected that representa-
tives of the Canadian Pacific would be
present at the meeting today for the
purpose of going over the dfferential
matter with the western roads, but it
was not convenient for them to be pres
ent and the western roads took UP rou-
tine matter instead. 1t is likely that the
Canadian Pacific will meet with the
western roads later in the week.
Roads of the Central Freight associ-
alton met today for the purpose of con-
sidering a reduction in export rates on
wheat and oats from 20 cents to 17H
cents, the same rate as is now made on
corn. There was long argument over
the proposition. some of the roads being
in favor of reducing all of the rates to
15 cents. UP to a late hour nothing had
been done.

Mark Hanna now asserts positively
that President Mckinley will not
hold Secretary Alger responsible for
the mismanagement of the war. The
great man from Ohio SCOTS at the

says that there has been no mis-
management.

}. P. Petermann of the Thirty-fourth
Michigan volunteers. This state
ment was shown to Mark Hanna.
Things like that are for political
effect" answered the man who pur.
chased the presidency for Mr.. Nc

dicted that Mr.. Mckinley would

of what the president will or will not

to never turn his back upon his
friends, and smilingly asserts that
that there will not be even an inves-
tigation.
Mr.. Hanna is probably entitled to
his reputation for cunning, and there
is every reason to believe that his
utterances are either inspired by
President Mckinley or, what is quite
as probable, indeed for the guidance
of the chief executive himself.-St

MAXIMUM FREIGHT RATES.
The Supreme Court Modi6es the
Decree in the Nebraska Case.

WASHINGTON, May 31-The Unit
led States Supreme Court to-day, in an
opinion by Justice Harlan granted the
motion of the Acknowledgement Of Ne
braska for modification Of the decree
in the Nebraska maximum freight rate
case. The motion was to strike out
the words land below those not
charged by said companies" and also
the words land particularly from re-
ducing it's present rates OF charges
for the transportation Of freight to
those presented in said Act" in the case
of Smith VS.. Smith.
In granting the application to elm
mate, the court said: THE general
question argued before US on the orig
inal hearing was whether the rates
established by the Nebraska statute
looking to them as an entirety, were so
unreasOnably low as to prevent the
railroad companies from earning such
compensation as would be just, having
due regard to the rights Of both the
public and the companies. In our ex-
animation of that question it was ap-
propriate and necessary to inquire as
to the earnings of the respective COM
panies under the rates established by
them, looking at such rates as an en-
tirety.

THE CADIZ FLEET.
Naval Officials Believe It Exists
Only on Paper.

WASHINGTON. May 31.-The fire.
quent reports from Spain, through
other countries, to the effect that
formidable fleet is being prepared at
Cadiz to sail for the West Indies in AID
of Cervera, causes little apprehension
here Naval officers, through private
means of communication, have pretty
we'll satisfied themselves that the Ca
diz fleet is a paper fleet. In other
words. its offensive power is altogeth-
er illusory.
More than half of the vessels whose
names appear so frequently in the press
dispatches as formidable war craft are
of antiquated type and in state OF
disorder The old Numancia is an ex-
ample. She is rated as a battleship
Of the first-class. In her day she was
a battleship, but she has not turret
or a SPONSOR, and would be little more
than sport for a modern ironclad. In
addition to being antiquated, most of
these vessels are broken down In en-
gines and boilers.
In their reckless disregard of the SIM
plest precautions for the preservation
of the complex machinery of a warshlp,
the Spaniards are excelled by no peo-
pie, and it is we'll known that they have
been obliged to hire BRITISH engineers
to run their engines whenever they did
run. There are some vessels, although
a very few, at Cadiz, of modern type
but they are not numerous or powerful
enough to give our navy any serious
concern.
OF course it is not to be understood
. from this that our naval officers are
neglecting to take precautions against
surprise at Santiago. They have thelI
own scouts, we'll out to the east end OF
Cuba so that they may receive quick
notice If any of the Cadiz fleet was
foolish enough to have started a day
or two ago for the West Indies as is
now reported from Europe.
The report that the Pope has ad-
dressed himself to President Mckinney
directly in an effort to bring about
peace between the United States and
Spain proves upon investigation to be
groundless. It is not believed that the

unusual course of addressing himself

are about 1000 Spanish troops. But
while Pando is strong at Holguin. he
u harassed by the presence of small
Cuban bands
Besides Holguin and Gibara, General
Pando has garrisons of from 1,OOO to
1900 men at Mayantanamo and Bara-
Goa, on the north coast and at Guanata-
namo, Santiago and Manzanillo, on the
south coast These points are said to
be the only ones held by the Spanish,
for Santiago is the one province over
run throughout the interior by the in
Surgents
The Cuban commander, General Car
cia has had his headquarters at Baya-
mo, seventy-five miles east of Santiago.
The reports brought by General Col
lazo and Lieutenant Rowan indicate
that Garcia has about 5000 men under
his immediate control, and about 5000
scattered in bands around Holguin.
Aside from their offensive strength,
the Cuban forces are looked upon as
valuable in that they hold the interior
roads and passes, and keep the Spanish
garrisons penned up in the six or seven
seaport towns. 1t is said to be impos-
sible for General Pando to move his
forces from Holguin down to Santiago
de Cuba. as Garcia's bands, as we'll as
his main body of troops, are in the way.
These forces are said to be in consid
cradle number within q few miles Of
Santiago de Cuba.
General Garcias two staff officers,
who have recently been in Washington
arranging a plan Of cooperation with
General Miles, left him last night and
there is a thorough understanding as
to the part the Cubans are to take in
the aggressive movements about to oc-
