Had No Notice of the Reduction of
DifferentiaIs.

Baltimore, Jan. 1.-THE announcement
made in New York paper to-day that at
a conference of trunk line presidents held
in Washington last week, it had been de-
cided TO reduce the differential of 8 cents
per 100 pounds in favor OF Baltimore, Nor
folk and Newport News. and the 2-cent diff
ferential in favor of Philadelphia, as
against New York on easl-bound grain
freight rates to 112 cents and 1 cent respect
lively, was received here with surprise by
shipping men.
They say they have received no intima-
ton from the railroad companies that the
new rates would take effect on Feb l. as
the report has it, and if such action had
been taken, that both the Baltimore and
Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroads have
broken faith with them, as both companies
promised last year that the 3-cent differ
entail would be a fixture

TEN-YEAR FIGHT NEAR AN END.
NAVAL OFFICERS MAY SOON BE
UNDER NEW REGULATIONS.

House Passes the Naval Personnel
Bill without DivisiOn-staH OH
GERS TO BE Given Positive Rank
Within Their Corps-Forty to he
Retired Every Year-Prize Money
system TO he Observation-Disclosures
Corps Increased.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE House to-day
passed the naval personnel bill without
division on the final passage thus accom-
plshing what the officers of the navy
have striven for during more than dc
cade.
By its provisions the line officers and
engineer corps are welded into an ANAL
gamated line STAFF officers are
given positive rank, but their command
is limited to their own corps, and a sys-
tenn of voluntary and compulsory retire
ment on three quarters pay as of the next
higher rank, of forty officers a year, is
established, which is designed to remove
the congestion in the lower rank at forty
five.
The bill also practically equalizes their
pay with that of army officers.
IHISS important diIleiuIuSuNS were
adopted. One creates a judge
advocates corps, another abolish
es prize money and third
provides for the retirement on three-quar-
ters' pay of enlisted men and petty Off
GERS in the navy after thirty years SER
vice.
But the most important change in the
bill as reported was the adoption, after
hard fight, of a substitute for the or
ganizaton of the Marine Corps by which
the corps is TO consist of 5000 enlisted
men and petty officers, with general Off
GERS and staff This will increase the
Marine Corps by 800 men and increase
the cost of its maintenance by S1,500,Q0.
Several unimportant bills We're passed
by unanimous consent, before the per
sonnet Jill was taken up.
The consideration of the Brown-Swan-
son contested election case from Virginia
had been set for to-day, but was posi-
poned until Thursday, in order that the
House might proceed with the naval per-
sonnet bill.
The Currency Bill.
At the beginning of the session, Mr..
McCleary, Republican, of Minnesota, on
behalf of the banking and currency com
mittee made a statement TO the effect
that the vote on the currency bll reported
at the last session had been irregular
~ taken in the committee. and he, there
fore asked that the bill be recommitted.
This does not mean that the bill is
to be abandoned' asked Mr.. Richardson,
Democrat. of Tennessee
mo, sir"
THE other side has promised currency
reform" continued Mr.. Richardson and
would like to know if the bill is again to
be reported"
Il am neither a prophet nor the son of
a prophet" responded Mr.. McC.eary.
Mr.. Mitchell Republican, of New York.
explained that there had been some irreg-
ularity in the vote and in order to avoid
any show of unfairness to the opponents
of the bill, this action had been decided
upon. There was no objection and the b IL
was recommitted.
