According to the observations of
Major Ross OF India, the germs of ma
laria are borne. not by the brindled or
gray mosquito, but by his cousin, the
spotted-winged mosquito. Major Ross
was recently sent to the west coast OF
Africa to investigate the sources of
malaria there. and he reports that, as
in India. the spotted winged mosquito
is the agent through which the disease
Is spread. Italian investigators have
also shown that mosquitoes convey the

RATE IS OPPOSED
Shippers Appeal to the Inter-
state Commission.
the MAIN PLEA IS FOR MORE TINE
Appiied-Trsnsportation Companies
Claim Enhanced Prices Makes
the Advance Necessary.

A hearing was begun Thursday at
Washington by the interstate commerce
commission I'm the matter OF changes In
freight classification and advances In
freight by carriers using the official
classification. Many complaints have
been filed with the commission alleging
that discriminating changes in freight
classification by carriers has been
agreed upon TO take effect January J.,
1900. To determine this question the
hearing Of today was held. Many of
the most prominent railway freight
officials in the eastern part OF the u
Try attended the hearing and rcprcscn-
~,atives OF large shipping interests In
the same section were also present.
At the opening Of the hearing G. T..
Till Of New York, chairman OF the Of
fetal classification committee, said the
railroads were without knowledge OF
the persons who had requested the
hearing, and asked that they bc called
upon to state wherein the proposed
changes were unjust.
He maintained that tho proposed ad-
vance in freight rates ere due To the
increased cost OF railroad plants and
maintenance and the advances had
been applied to classes OF frcights that
could well afford To pay them.
In the course Of the long explanation
by w. A. Day, attorney for the com
mittce, Mr.. Gill gave no reasons for
the proposed advances upon specia
articles or classes Of freight except the
general reasons which applied TO all
freight. lie maintained that the pro-
posed new classi6cations, generally
speaking, were RESERVATIONS of freight
rates which prevailed in times past
when commercial and trade conditions
were similar to what they now are.
His replies TO n long series OF ques.
tions indicated that his own belief and
that of his colleagues on the classiti-
cation committee was the recent
marked advance in the price OF rail
way equipment and opcration-in steel
rails and all forms OF steel and iron,
ctc-rendercd It necessary for the rail
roads, in a degree proportionatcly Ia
advance freight rates. lie said freight
rates had bee ON a gradually descend
ing scale for about twenty years, but
he vas unable to say whether the pro-
posed new rate would be higher or
lower than the rates which prevailed
In 1882.
In u statement to the commission
Attorney Day said n comparison Of the
proposed rates on certain specific ar
ticles showed that n new rate woult
be higher than had ever existed since
the commission was created.
Without reaching any conclusion tn,
hearing was adjourned till today, Fri.
day.

Over One Hundred Bodies Put Aboard
the Texas.

The removal of the dead of the Maine
was not accompanied by any ceremon-
les over the bodies, as, newly cofined,
they were placed in the mortuary
chapel of the cemetery until all was
completed. says a Havana dispatch of
December 10. At 20 o'clock last night
ten wagons formed a procession, carry
ing l5l collins to the Machina wharf,
passing through unfrequented streets.
The bodies reached the wharf at 1880
under n strong guard from the battle
ship Texas, were placed aboard two
steam lighters before daylight and
were taken to the warship at q u. IN.
The Texas left here at 10 n. m. All
the remains were thoroughly disin-
fected. A difference was found be-
tween the number of collins entered on
Chaplain Chadwicls's list, which was
1873, and the actual number of collins
cxhuned. Search was made through
all of the twenty-five graves in which
the collins were buried, but the missing
two were not found. Father Chad
| wick said the difference could be ex-
planned by u clerical error at the time
of interring, as he was very busy at the
wharf, giving instructions and identi-
flying the bodies, and could not super
intend every detail.
