More Victories.

Manila, March I6.-The first bat talon of the Twentieth infantry regiment advanced from Pasig to- day, cle earing the country to Csinti, a we'll defended village of 700 iu. habitants. five miles northwest of the foot hills. The troops first en- countered the rebel outposts in tne juugles on the banks of the river. The enemy was dislodged after a half-hour's fighting. The Ameri- cans advanced in a splendid manner under heavy fire until it was ready to volley the rebels from the trenches. The latter had great Ad- vantage and dropped a number of our men.
 The Americans charged across the rice fields, making four advances on the enemy, who numbered a thous- and men. five hundred of whom were entrenched and in face of the crosE-6re. Our troops carried the town after four hours fighting and burned the outskirts, the rebels fir ing from windows and keeping up a running fire in the streets, the Americans withdrawing to obtain more ammunition.

 tone of the discussions and the character of the resolutions passed
 by the British chamber of commerce in annual meeting gave evidence that Lord Chas. Bresford's recent investigations in the east and his subsequent journey across the United States have had a fruc.ifying influence in shaping the views of the British commercial world as regards the ''open door" policy ln China and the advisabilitv of cultivsting closer commercial and social relations with America. Resolutions strongly recommending such a policy were passed by the chambers, amid much enthusiasm. After recommending that the government utilize every opportunity to cooperate vii b the United States Tor the benefit of the commercial interests of both na- tinns.

Rates on coal from eastern mines also are
advanced from % cents to so cents per ton,
becoming effective yesterday
a contagion seems to prevail among the
freight men in pushing up rates. When
the announcement was made several days
ago of the contemplated advances to be-
come effective November 15 freight officials
awaited with some anxiety the verdict OF
their patrons. No concerted opposition
manifested itself to the advanced tariffs.
Consequently, the freight departments Of
several OF the Omaha roads have been af-
nicted with another individual" determina-
tion to advance still other rates.
This time rates on coal from mines in
the western states will go UP a few notches.
Nearly all the roads running into Omaha
have coal mines located at various points
along their lines, and while the new tariffs
on coal shipments from these mines have
not in all cases been published, it is known
that there will be a general advance. The
Northwestern and Burlington Will raise
their rates on coal from Iowa points, be-
coming effective December l.
November 20 the Quincy route will charge
more for hauling coal from the mines at
Navinger and Stahl Mo-, than at present.
At this time the rates are $1.27 for lump
and $1O1 for all other kinds of coal. The
new rates will be S1.35 and $1.15. The
Missouri Pacific will also raise its tariffs
on coal from Arkansas, Kansas and Mis-
souri, mines, commencing with next Mon
day

CITY SELLING RAILROAD STOCK.
Plan Said to Contemplate Another
Trunk Line to Chicago.


Trunk Line to Chicago.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 15.-Definite plans are
now under consideration for the sale of the
city's holdings in the Western Maryland
Railway company, amounting to 1000 shares,
to syndicate of New York capitalists. The
decision to sell the stock was reached by
the city finance commissioners a week ago,
but was not made public until today.
Mayor elect Hayes has made the follow
ing statement:
"The New York representatives seemed
anxious to gain possession Of the city's hold
ings in the property and to assume the float
ing indebtedness of the road. Their propo-
sition was to pay 81 ,4S5, 900 for the property
They stated that the proposed purchase had
no connection or Identification with either
the Pennsylvania Railroad company or the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company, or any
other existing trunk line. They outlined a
plan for the building Of a competing trunk
line to Chicago in conjunction with the
Western Maryland railroad. They said they
had a route fifty-six miles shorter than
either the Pennsylvania or the Baltimore &
Ohio to Baltimore. and that, by reason of
such diminished distance, could make Balti-
more the greatest coal center on the At
lantic coast. They also stated that they
could obtain valuable southern trunk line
connections. The plan is for the advertis-
ing of the sale under foreclosure proceedings
in court of equity, the city to buy 1t in.
The New York financiers are to enter into
an agreement to take the road off the hands
of the city at the price for which it was
purchased, and also to assume the floating
debt"

CHANGE IN LIVE STOCK RATES.
Shippers VIII Pay by Weight Instead
of BcIng Charged for Cars.

Shippers VIII Pay by Weight Instead
of Being Charged for Cars.
Cattle shippers throughout the west will
be interested in change to become effective
December 1 in rates for shipment OF live
stock. At present cattle, sheep, hogs and
horses are shipped and charges made at dol
lars per car The change which will be
adopted by all the roads will result in the
charges being cents per hundred In dis
cussng this matter a local freight official
says: This change is in fine merely
technical matter and will be of no particu-
lar Importance either to the railroads or the
shippers 1t Is return to condition of
affairs which prevailed in former years.
After long use the system of charging dol
lars per car does not meet with the same
satisfaction as computing the shipments at
so much per hundred.
Under the existing order rates are quoted
stock shippers according to the length OF
the cars. Each car is presumed to have
normal capacity, but sometimes in shipping
this average is either raised or lowered, ac-
cording to the grade OF the cattle. Under
the plan Of charging cents per hundred the
shipper pays only for that which he ships
and every car will have to be carefully
weighed. In some instances the new rates
will prove an advantage to the railroad
over the old ones, in others the shipper
will get the advantage 1t will be about
a stand off" and the cents per hundred
rate will be adopted because 1t is more sat
isfactory to all parties concerned"
