now be something more than command
ing general in name only. 1t has been
stated that Gen. Miles is preparing his

simply intends to resume his former
duties under the regulations. In this
way it will deVolve upon Secretary Root
to raise any question concerning Gen.

Gen. Miles does not expect anything
but harmony, nor does Mr.. Root. Mr..
Mckinley insists upon it. At the con-
ference between the president and Gen.
Miles, the day before Alger resigned, the
desirabflity of more pleasant relations be
tween the major general commanding and
the head of the war department was en-
phasized and assurances were given that
Gen. Miles would receive better treat
ment in the future.
The new secretary has already been re-
uuested by the president to give Cen.
Miles recommendation and views care
full consideration. On his part Gen. Miles
will be expected to aid the secretary IN
administering the affairs Of the depart
ment and dealing with the military stu
alton in the Philippines.

CHICAGO, July 31.-East-bound freight
rates will be advanced from ~ TO cents
per 100 pounds tomorrow morning The
larger advance is on provisions and the
smaller on grain and grain products. The
export provision rate will be % cents on
the basis of Chicago to New York The
domestic provision rate will be the same.
Export corn and wheat rates will go up

products will be u cents 100 pounds In

will be screwed up from Il cents to Is
cents 100 pounds
Owing TO the low rates in effect during
the last two or three months east
bound shipments have been unusually
large, and in consequence railroads have
been making money. Some of the roads
found the 9l2 cents rate profitable enough
TO make secret cuts. and it is claimed
some corn has been shipped lately from

NEWS OF RAILROADS
MILWAUKEE APPEARS TO BE A
PUZZLE TO EASTERN
OFFICIALS
MAY NOT MAKE DULUTH

Co &s.,:er1bIe Doubt Exists as to the
Truth of Reports Concerning the
MiIVyaukee's Recent Survey-AI-
. ready Has the Advantage of Close
Freight Rates over the Duluth
Lines-Expcnse Would he Great.
Recent rumors that the Great Northern
will checkmate the Milwaukee's reported
project of building into Duluth are not
Ftaken seriously in Eastern railroad cir
cles. This is the statement of a ST. Paul
railroad man, who returned yesterday
from New York. The report. that the Mil
waukee has completed d survey into Du-
luth is also questioned. Eastern men are
inclined to the belief that the two roads
are playing at a game of chess and max
ing moves and counter moves to gain a
point of which nothing has yet been an
nounced. In speaking of the present Sit
uation. the official said:
There is considerable doubt as to the
truth of the reports coming from the
r head of the lakes regarding the Mil
waullee's survey. No information except
that of a general nature is obtainable
and the report lacks the details which
would stamp it as authentic. No one is
able to state where the new line will
begin or what points it will touch. Be
sides this, the Milwaukee has the adj
vantage of close freight rates at present
over the Duluth lines, which enable it
to handle consignments to the head of
the lakes with profit and despatch. The
expense of building a new line would be
great and Eastern men think that the
advantages to be gained by such a move
would not pay back the original cost in
many years
What Mr.. Hill has in mind is a mys-
terry. He is reported 70 have made the
statement that his road would parallel
the Milwaukee's Dakota lines if the latter
persisted in building into Duluth. This
Is regarded as in the nature of a play to
checkmate the Chicago line, though it is
not yet believed that the Milwaukee will
build. The general impression seems to
be that both roads have some unknown
object in view and are opposing each
other for an advantage. I do not think
Mr. Hill would carry out such a threat
even if he is correctly quoted The South
Dakota lines are not sufficiently profit
? able to make any large amount of further
construction a sound business PROPOSE
