COnciliatory-The Dreyfus Case.
London, Oct. 31.-There was the great
est activity yesterday at Davenport.
the site of the largest arsenal in Grea.
Britain and of two of the finest dock
yards in the world. The government
was assembling an emergency squadron
which it was understood would go to
Gibraltar. Despite the fact that the
wind was blowing almost a gale the
second-class battship Colossus arrived
from Holyhead. the first-class battle
ship Howe from Queenstown, and the
first-class battleship Benbow from
Greenock. The third-class cruiser CAL
Hope, which was on the way to the
Canaries, was intercepted and has re-
turned unexpectedly toPlymouth. other
warships are coming to join the squad
ron. and the government has ordered
200, 900 tons of coal.
Commotion Prevails at Esquimault.
Victoria, B. c., Oct. 31.-Commotion
prevails at Esquimault and in the clubs
of the city frequented by naval men.
Admiral Palliser is said to have re-
ceived a long cipher message from the
admiralty. and Immediately her ma
jesty's ship AmphiOn, the fastest cruiser
on the station, was ordered to pre-
pare for sea She will sail at once for
Coquimbo to meet her sister ship the
Phaeton. and from there the two will
proceed to Tahiti, the French settlement
of the Society islands. The flagship
Imperiense. which has just returned
from Comox is also coaling, and the
Leander has been ordered to return
from Comox and prepare for any move
that may be decided upon. The opinion
among naval men is that England is
dispatching fleets from Halifax to the
West Indies and from Esquimault to
Tahiti to show the French how utterly
her colonies would be at the mercy of
the British should she make any war
like movements.
Significant of Marchand's Recall.
Paris, Oct. 31.-The French press is
beginning to manifest a much more
conciliatory spirit regarding Fashoda,
apparently with view to preparing the
public mind for the recall of the March
and expedition.
Paris, Oct. 31.-Captain Baratier. the
bearer of Major Marchand's Fashoda
report, started for Egypt Saturday with
the governments instructions to Major
Marchand.

Paris, Oct. 31.-The American
peace commissioners presented in
Joint session with the Spanish COM
missioners this afternoon a written
expression of the purpose of the
United States to take the entire group
ofthe Philippine islands, and to assume
such portion of the Philippine debt as
has been spent for the benefit of the
islands, or their inhabitants, in pub
lie works, improvements and perma-
nent betterment. 1t is also set forth
that the United States will not as
sumo any part of the Philippine debt
incurred by Spain for the furtherance
of military or naval operations to
quell the insurrection of the natives.
The session adjourned till Friday to
give the Spaniards time to reply. 1t
was shortly after 2 when the joint
session assembled around the table on
which in 1888 Benjamin Franklin and
his colleagues signed the treaty of
independence of the United States,
and the purpose of the United States
in the matter of the retention of the
Philippines WAS made known as
above. The session lasted a little
over an hour.

TRAFFIC ON RAIL WAYS
Chauncey M. Depew's Comments
on the Recent Supreme
Court Decision.
PLEADS FOR LOCALIZED POOLING,

And Admits That There Is No Future for
the Joint Traffic Association Under the
Opinion Read by Justice Peckham-
Urges the Enactment of a Railway Pool
ing Law Giving the Government Rigid
Supervision Over Its Application.
New York, Oct. s1.-Chauncey NJ. De-
pew having made study of the decis-
ion of the supreme court on traffic as
sociations gives his opinion on the sub
ject as follows: The decision of the
supreme court necessitates the dissoIu-
ton Of the Joint Traffic association as
at present constituted. Broadly stated
the decision means that there shall be no
association among railroads by which
they will have any understanding or
agreement in regard to rates-either
the maintenance of rates or the pre-
vention of rate cutting. or the proven
ton of determinations against weak
shippers in favor of strong ones. or
against small localities and those along
the lines in favor of the great terminal
cities.
Objects of the Joint Traffic.
1.-The objects of the Joint Traffic assoc
citation were-first. to assist the inter-
state commerce act: second. to prevent
vent the favoritism to great cities and
to great shippers which are gradually
wiping out intermediate towns and the
small business men. 1t Is absolutely
necessary for the railroads of the coun-
try to know the movement of traffic and
traffic conditions as to freight which is
to be moved at the different reservoirs
where it is concentrated. 1t is also nee
essary that they know whether and why
this freight is securing an outlet, if for
export, through the Gulf of Mexico or
by the Canadian route or by the Attain
tic seaboard-
Some Association Is Necessary.
TT Will be necessary. therefore, that
some association should exist as
statistical bureau for the purpose of
gathering this information and present
ing it in frequent reports to the lines
which are members. All that the rail-
roads ask is that under some form of
voluntary agreement. or a pooling law.
they may be permitted to arrange among
themselves so that there shall be uni-
form rates to everybody who ships over
the various lines for the same service.
In other words, as the railroads are
semi-public corporations then the pub
lie should be treated upon lines the
same as the government treats the peo-
pie who use the postoffice, or the same
as people are treated who use the tele-
graph lines.
