How the Soldiers Dress.

Manila Correspondence New York Tribune.
The great heat makes it1imperative that
much latitude be allowed the men in mat
ters of dress. A careful provision is made
that makes choice of wool or cotton, both
for under and outer clothing, possible.
Most Of the men wear the blue flannel
shirt with khaki trousers and leggings, but
gingham shirts are supplied. Lightweight
woolen underclothng is worn by most of
the men, their experience having taught
them the undesirability of cotton when stiff
breeZes blow on a man whose clothing is
perspiration-soaked.{ IN Though the ther-
mometer rises to 90 to 9S in midday. the
nights in the field are uncomfortably cool,
and the men seldom throw away their
blankets, while the heavyfdews make the
poncho or rubber blanket the most valued
article of the soldiers equipment. The
campaign hat that is persfstently miscalled
slouch hat we cling to. Many of the Off
GERS bought at Colombo or Singapore he'll
NETS of pith, or cork or fiber; some covered
with white cloth, some with the drab khaki
but ripping through bamboo thckets or
falling over the rice dikes has made us all
go back to wearing the hat that we tried
in the Texas chaparral or in the bullberry
thlckets of Montana; the hat that Reming-
ton has pictured, the one Gibson 'raked''
so accurately on his mo Hero" man can
sit on it, can lie down with 1t on, or, If the
eanteen be empty, can knock In the crown
and dip and drink therefrom. Tommy At
kins> introduced us to khaki and flannel
bands, but he looked with longing eyes on
our drab hats.

PREPARATION DENIED.
But Concessions Made to the Grain
Shippers Association.

Inc interstate commerce commission in
an opinion by Commissioner Prouty, has
announced its decision in the case of the
Grain Shippers Association of Northwest
Iowa against the Illinois Central Railroad
Company and others.
The transportation of grain eastward
from Kansas City and from Sioux CITY and
other points in the territory adjacent 20
Sioux City is subject to competition be-
tween the carriers; but while reduced rates
have resulted from the competition at Kan
Sas city the competition in northwest Iowa
mas been more effectively restrained by an
agreement formerly in effect, and since
such agreement was Cancelled, by continu-
ance OF rates without substantial reduc-
uon 1ne rate on corn to Chicago from
most points In western Iowa is IL cents per
100 pounds. Examina ton of the rates and
rate changes for period of years indi-
Gates tnat rate of 10 cents on corn from
Kansas City to Chicago should be applied
at all Missouri river points, but the evil
dence is not sufficient to enable definite
conclusion. 1t does appear, however, that
the rates on grain from Sioux City and
other points in limited section of north
west Iowa are 100 high.
The commission decides that the 1e-cent
rate on corn from Sioux City and other
points in adjacent territory should be re-
duced, the 11-cent rate on corn now I'm ef-
feet from most points in western Iowa
should be extended to Sioux City and points
st. Paul railroad (now part of the c., st. p,
M and o. system), and corresponding re-
duction should be made from other points
in southeastern South Dakota.
The commission further held that while
no opinion is expressed as to what is the
proper relation of the rates wheat and
corn from Sioux City and adjacent terri
tory, the difference of cents which now
prevails from most shipping points in that
section should not be exceeded.
The complainants also demanded repara-
tsnsN hut Il tod
that there is no proof that the rates We're
unreasonable at the time they were paid.
Among the legal points decided in this
case is the following: The capitalization of
a railroad, to have consideration in cases
involving the readjus stment of rates should
be accompanied by history of the capital
account, the value of the stock and various
securities, and the actual cost and value
of the property itself. To make the capital
account of railroad the measure of legiti-
mate earnings would place. as rule. the
corporation which has been honestly man.
aged from the outset under enormous dis
advantages.

senator Nelson Defends squatters.

Secretary Hitchcock. Assistant Secretary
Ryan, Commissioner Jones Of the Indian
office and other officials of the Interior
Department yesterday gave long hearing
to Senator Nelson OF Minnesota regarding
the order of June % last calling for the
removal OF all intruders and white tres
passers from the Cass Lake Indian reserva-
ton. The order goes into effect on the 22d
instant Tho senator made a forcible re-
monstrance against the carrying out of the
order Of removal, setting out in detail the
equities of the persons who have squatted
on the reservation and reciting the hard
ships they would have to undergo IL forced
to abandon their homes. He asserted that
the reservation was public land and that
the settlers had right to enter it, He
asked that action be deferred pending the
next meeting OF Congress, at which time
he believed some remedial legislation would
be adopted which would result in an ami
cable settlement of the case. The sena-
tors remarks were directed particularly to
the case of the settlers at the town of Cass
Lake, which has grown to be a thriving
place. Secretary Hitchcock said at the close
of the hearing that he would not announce
a decision for several days, as he desired
some further information on the subject.

committee representing the miners lately
engaged in the strike at Wardner, which
resulted in calling out troops under General
Merriam at the request of the governor Of
Idaho. The interview with the President
lasted some time and the entire situation
was thoroughly discussed.
The committee informed the President
that the presence of the troops had been
represented in a false light, and added that
in its opinion the federal authority was
being used in an Illegitimate manner. The
President told the committee that the troops
had been sent only upon the request of the
governor, and were there for no other pur-
pose than to preserve the peace.
After the interview both members OF the
committee expressed themselves as entirely
satisfied with the attitude of the admins
tration which they asserted had been mis-
represented by the local authorities.
