FREIGHT RATES.
January 1 on All Railroads East
and West of Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 1s.-The Chronicle to-
day says: One of the most radical
and general advances ever made in
freight rates will go into effect on
all the railroads east and west of
Chicago, January 1. Thousands of ar
ticles of every day consumption will
'oe affected and the increase will av-
erage 35 and 40 per cent, the jump on
many classes reaching so per cent.
The contemplated action of the rail-
road officers has aroused the ship
ping interests of the country and
vigorous protests are being made
against the sweeping rise. The ship
pers say that if the carrying charges
are increased to the extent an
nounced by the railroads it will have
the effect of increasing retail prices
in every line of trade. Sugar, soap,
coffee, -four, coal and farm imple-
ments are a few of the articles to be
affected. OF these, as well as on hun
dreds of other articles, the increase
will run from 20 to 40 per cent The
rate on coal, for example, west of
Chicago, will be pushed up to IS cents
on the ton. Rate on cattle will be adj
vanced to 28 cents per 100 pounds,
and hogs and sheep will go up from 25
to 30 cents, and dressed meat to 40
cents per 100 pounds. Hay is anoth-
er article that will feel the advance
severely. The tariff on this will be
increased $1.10 per ton.

manchs and Apache Lands Causes Ex-
element Among Land Boomers.

Chicago, Dec. 1s.-A special to the
Chronicle from Perry, Ok, says; The
introduction by Senator Chiffon, of
Texas, of a bill to open the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache Indian reser-
vations, has caused excitement among
the land boomers. For the last year
homeseekers and others have been
camping near those lands waiting for
the opening hour to roll around. The
announcement that this ncw country
may be opened soon has increased
these landseekers. Another reason for
the unusual activity is the fact that
the Wichita mountains, which pass
through these Indian reservations, are
reported to be rich with gold. The
country is well adapted to the grow
ing of wheat, oats, corn, cotton and
stock raising. II is understood that
the cattlcmen who have consider
able portion of these lands leased for
grazing cattle, will fight Senator
Chilton's bill.

FRESH MEAT SCHEME
1t Is to Be Transported from Aus
tralia to Manila.
TO ENLIST CUBANS As SOLDIERS.
Several Regiments to he Made Up of Ma
tives so AS to Relieve Americans That
They May Be Sent to the
Philippines.

Washington, Dec 1S.-Thc secretary
of the navy and naval authorities in
the Philippines are engaged on plans
which will furnish the army and navy
in that quarter with fresh meat as a
daily ration. Three of the navy ships
have been established as "a line to
transport beef and mutton between
Manila and Brisbane, Australia. These
ships are the Cugoa, the Celtic and
the Glacier. The first two designed
for store ships, have had increased re-
frigerator facilities added, so as to
specially III them for their new duty.
The issue of fresh meat daily is felt
to be an important factor i'm keeping
up the strength of the troops i'm serv-
ice i'm that unhealthful country. who
are subjected to so much exposure. 1t
has been found that the meat thus
bought can be carried to the north
line at Angeles and reach there in "A
frozen condition. The Australian
beef and mutton bought are of prime
quality, and can he laid down in Ma
Mia by this method at "A lower price
than it can if brought from San Fran
cisco, as the distance is shorter
CUBANS TO BE ENLISTED.
Washington, Dec. 1S.--Several regi-
ments will be recruited in Cuba from
among the natives to relieve our
troops SO that they may be sent to the
Philippines TO replace returning sol
diers. The Cubans have been found
anxious to enlist in our service, and
are believed to be capable of perform
ing military service in proper man
ner. \ number of applications have
been received at the war department
from officers of the army for appoint
ments in these regiments, and it is
probable that the colonies will be Sc
lected from captains of the line who
have had some experience in Cuba and
who have an intimate knowledge of
the Spanish language. The junior Of
ficers are likely to be taken from
among our non-commissioncd officers
and from civil life. The organization
of the regiments will be arranged in
detail very soon.

BRECKENRIDGE'S REPORT.

ing review of the conduct of the ar

ganization of the most interesting
and valuable character. 1t is an un-
usually voluminous document, with
many excellent Photographic illustra-
tions, and will prove entertaining and
instructive, not only to officers in the
service, but to legislators who will
be called upon to consider needed re-
forms i'm the service 1t is notable
that nearly all the inspector gener-
ais suggestions were adopted by Sec
rotary Root in his recommendation
to congress. Gen. Breckenridge says:
"All experience shows that we may
periodically have war and our late
mere mobilization shows what mex
perience may cost and cause us and
our children to endure. Sanitation,
where there are no family ties nor
modern conveniences, is more diff
cult TO teach and enforce among
greenhorns than the manual to arms
or musketry, and the more troops
go under canvas and learn tactics
and tactical operations on the ground
and how to take care of themselves
the better it will be for the army, es-
pecially for the new organization

try's flag.

the French budget for 1900 with II
tone OF alarm. If the future of
French finance consists, he says, in
spending each year 35,OOO,O0O francs
more than the preceding year French
prosperity is bound to succumb. All
nations, it is said, are constantly do
ing the same thing-increasing ex-
penditure. But whatever other ma
