TO MAINTAIN RATES.
Receivers of Baltimore & Ohio
Make a Novel Departure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-Chairman
Knapp, of the interstate commerce
commission, has received a letter from
receivers COwan and Murray, of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. announcing
that after Jan. 1, 1899, that railroad will
maintain scrupulously the published
tariff and rates flied with the commits
sion, and will appeal to the commission
for aid in cases coming to their atten-
ton OF railways failing to maintain
rates This step is an important one,
which will interest largely all other
roads. What the attitude of the other
roads will be is not known here
The letter in detail is as follows
Within the territory north of the Ohio river
and east of the Mississippi, the railroad car
riers are transporting the larger part of the
interstate traffic at rates less than those
shown on the published tariffs filed with
your commission. which are by statute ths
only lawful rates.
While this condition continues there will
exist unjust determinations and the unjust
preferences and advantages between persons.

MILLIONS OF PRAYERS.
The Endless Chain Idea Applied to
Petitions to Heaven

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Religious en-
thusiasts at Philipstown, Putnam
county, N. Y, have started an end
less chain of prayer. The plan is to write
five copies Of the prayer and to mail a
copy to five friends, earnestly asking
each to read the prayer aloud and
then to write five copies and mail them
to friends. If every one who receives
the prayer reads 1t aloud and forwards
five copies, on the prayers twelfth
round 244,140,625 people would be rails
ing chorus Of prayer. There are some
70,00O,000 people in these United States.
so on the twelfth round there will be
prayers for all these, men, women and
children, and plenty over for Cuba.

stroyed by fire tonight entailing a loss
that will exceed $100,0c0.
Flames which had been smoulderins
in the structure for probably more
than half an hour before they were
discovered suddenly burst forth from
the northeast corner. From floor to
floor the flames ran rapidly, until they
had reached the top.
At the beginning of the fire the oc-
cupants of the building were notified
and they escaped without difficulty. A
number of them, however, lost their
furniture and Valuabies.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Gen. Mel
son \. Miles, commanding the United
States army. and Gen. Wesley Merritt,
commander of the American forces at
the capture of Manila, were the princi-
pal figures before the war investiga-
tion commission today. Gen. Miles re-
sponded to the summons of the COM
mission only after several days con-
siderattOn. He was accompanied by
his own stenOgrapher. His eXamina-
tion was comparatively brief and not
sensational. He spoke with some bit
terness as to the "embalmed beef" and
the canned beef furnished the army
in the field. This he characterized an
experiment for which some one in
Washington" was responsible. He said
that the landing facilities of the Santi-
ago expedition were inadequate. and
that the men were short of rations
and medicires and might have been
better protected from exposure to fe-
yer cOntagiOn.
Gen. Miles declined to be sworn but
gave his evidence in a clear. unhesi-
tating way, and went into details re-
garding both the Santiago and Porto
Rico expeditions. He opened by de-

pointed to the lack of government store
house facilities there, and said the
cars at one time were held back as
far as Columbia, S. C. He said when
the transports were loaded it was
found impossible to put more than
$4,000 men aboard, and they were
equipped as we'll as poss Bile under the
circumstances.
1T was most fortunate" he said
that transports had good weather. If
they had encountered a severe storm,
the loss of life or the suffering, at least,
must have been fearful AS it was,
with fair weather. the men below,
crowded in with the mules and sup
plies. could get on deck. which would
have been impossible otherwise"
The commissary stores taken, he
said, were sufficient, but the medical
supplies We're inadequate. He had left
the landing. except for general direc-
tiOns, to the corps commander, Gen.
Ehafter. He found, just before sail
ing, that there were a number Of pom
toOn boats being taken, which would
be utterly useless for the purpose, and
he himself had secured the barges
from the owners there and had taken
other steps, but the supply of such
boats taken was very Inadequate.
The expedition" he continued
should have been furnished with
launches, naphtha or steam, or tugs
for towing barges in from the ships
to the shore. We relied largely on the
qUartermaster department for this. On
the second expedition to Porto Rice
they were furnished, but they arrived
too late to render much assistance"
He said that, before the first f1eet
sailed from Tampa, estimates hat
been definitely made of the number OF
boats to be furnished the transport:
and the number to be furnished by the
navy to assist. The most cordial as
sistance, he added. had been promised
on the part of the navy.
At Santiago the supply of tentag'
and fOCd was very limited.
'WeTe the medical supplies at tina
time sufficient for the needs Of tn
commando" he was asked.

and would conduct it on the same
lines if he had it to do over again. He
spoke in high terms of the troops un-
der him, and said his army was we'll
supplied with medicine and food.
/ He began his testimony by a de-
! scription of the operations around Ma
| Mia prior to it's capture. Owing to the
| smallness Of his force, he said the army
was compelled to operate along the
sea front in cooperation with the
navy. Had there been a larger Ameri-
! can force on land, the city could have
been taken from the high ground in
land. but this was impracticable with
| out leaving the base at the mercy Of
both Spaniards and insurgents. The
city's defenses were good. The Span
| iards had excellent arms and plenty of
| ammunition. All they lacked was
sand" The engagement lasted not
| more than two hours. The army had
both Spaniards and insurgents to con-
| tend with.
1.-The insurgents were very anxious
to take part in the attack said Gen.
| Merritt, but they were not notified
when the attack would be made, as it
| was sure the entrance of the FilipinOs
into the city would mean unnecessary
| bloodshed and some looting''
Gen. Merritt said the American losses
were not correctly stated in the press
reports There were about 120 officers
and men killed and wounded No ac-
curate account of the Spanish loss was
ever obtainable The American force,
however, captured over $4,000 stand
of arms. and the Spanish loss was
known to be severe.
There was some discussion in the
| commission over the relative merits Of
the Springfield and the modern small
caliber rife. This drew from Gen.
Merritt the statement that, personal
Iy, he should prefer the Springfield
with smokeless powder to the "Caliber
3O' or Mauser.
However, some of the line officers
would be better judges of that than
L" he added. AS an instance of the
lack of stopping power of the small
bore rifle, he said one of his officers
was shot through the leg in the Ma
Mia fight and did not know it until
the next morning.
Gen. Merritt said, in reply to ques-
tions, that the volunteers were as eff
fective and as enthusiastic as could
be desired He regarded them as very
excellent troops.
