CONFERRED WITH EMPEROR
Russia Wants Another Loan from
 Germany

Berlin, November 13-The Associated Press is informed on the highest authority that Dr. Miquel, Prussian minister of finance, has had long conference with Emperor William. It appears that one of the subjects discussed during the visit of Emperor Nicholas last week was the rais- ing of another Russian loan in Germany, Russia having failed to effect one anywhere else in Europe. This explains why pr. Won Miquel was present Wednesday evening along with Count vona Buelow and Count Muravieff, the German and Prussian for eign ministers at the interview between the czar and the kaiser.
 Emperor William, it is definitely asserted, made no promise to the czar in the matter leaving it understood that whether the Ger man government would favor another Rus sian loan here or not depended largely upon Dr. Von Miquel's answer today prepared at Emperor Williams request.
 In the meantime Dr. Von Miquel con- suited with the leading German financiers, nearly all of whom discouraged the pro- posal, as they have been reliably informed that the Trans-Siberian railroad is likely to prove far more expensive than is generally surmised. Moreover, Russian financial crash is expected soon
 Today Dr. Von Miquel reported to this effect to the kaiser and it may be consid- cred certain that the proposed loan here has failed

AGAINST RAILROAD
Opinion Handed Down by Interstate
 Commerce Committee.

Washington, November 13.-The inter- state commerce committee today announced its decision in a case against the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad company. The opinion is by Chairman Knapp. The case and decision are shortly stated as follows:
 "The rates enforced by the St. Louis and San Francisco on live poultry in car loads to Chicago are higher from Marshfield, Mo-, tfhan for the longer distances from Spring field and other distant stations on its line. The commission hold that the greater charge for the shorter distance from Marsh field constitutes departure from the gen. eral rule of the 4th section, which the car- rier was bound to justify and that such higher rate, if found to be without sufficient excuse must also be deemed unreasonable and undue prejudice in violation of the Sd section. The St. Louis and San Francisco company, 1t holds, cannot lawfully call it. self merely local carrier from Marshfield while engaged in through carriage from Springfield and other points on its line, and thereby justify higher rates to Chicago for the shorter distance from Marshfield than for the longer distance from Springfield and more distant points of shipment"
