TO ADJUST RAILWAY RATES.
Trunk Line officials Meet the Inter.
stntc Commerce Commission.

Representatives of many of the trunk
line systems of the country were in con-
ference with the Interstate Commerce
Commission yesterday morning and mat
ters affecting railroad legislation were
thoroughly discussed.
Among those present were President
Thomson of the Pennsylvania, President
ingalls, oil the Chesapeake and Ohio, John
X. CoWen, co-receiver of the Baltimore
and Ohio; President Spencer of the South
ern, President Huffman of the Seaboard
Air Line, and representatives of other
systems
The object OF the conference was to dis
cuss plans whereby all differences between
the great railroads might be adjusted.
Since the Joint Traffic Association was de-
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court there has been great Generalization
in the rates for freight and passenger
traffic, and to end this schedule has been
prepared according TO which all roads will
maintain the same rate TO competitive
points. This schedule was submitted yes
terday, but no action has yet been taken.
Legislation affecting railroads was dis
cussed and it is undoubted that Congress
will be asked to pass a law regulating the
relations between the railroads of the
country.
The conference will be resumed this
morning. when the long and short haul
cases Will be discussed with other matters.
The meetings will last several days.

THE HAVANA DRY DOCK.
This Government Makes an OGer to
the Spnnish OfficinIs

The United States expects in the near
future to come into possession of the mag
nificent floating dry dock at the Havana
navy yard. A proposition has been made
TO the Spanish officials by this Govern
ment for its purchase. which it is be-
lieved will be accepted.
In the hope of making a large sum Of
money out Of the transaction. several
private bidders entered the field against
the Government. IL was learned, how
ever that the site Of the dry dock was
not to be sold with the dock itself The
private bidders finally realized that the
chances of making profit out of the
deal were very small and they withdrew
from the competition. The price offered
for the property by this Government is
thought to be fair to both sides. The dock
is not in as good condition as when first
installed, but a small expenditure will re-
pair the damage.
