TO BAR PETROLEUM
Trance Is Looking tO Alcohol for inc
 Future Light.

AlcCho. is about to supersede petro- rope. It is not only to supeTsede pe- trolaum, but it promises to take the place of coal itself.
 Houses are to be heated by alcohol, and engines are to be driven by a,co- hol. As fer alcohol lighting, it is all ready an accomplished fact. The enl- pecor of Germany has had the palace at Potsdam and the Thiergarten at Berlin supplied with fncandescent alcohol lamps, whf.e the new French president, LouhsC, is lighting un the court yard of the Elysee with these same extraordinary novelties of the hour.
 Both the agricultural and industrial worlds ere excited over this matter Chambers Of commerce and farmers clubs are hearing lectures on the new discoveries. Never, perhaps, has such important fiscal legislation been ac- complished in both France and Ger many in so short time as that-al- most sscured-which is to take off the last tax and obstruction from the free manufacture and sale of industrial all cohols. The distiiler Is at last to work for the good of humanity. His friend. the farmer, is at last to get share of the good things of progress.
 The significance of this new move ment to the world at large is cou- cealed, so to speak, in the peculiar leg :. islatton which is everywhere applied to alcohol All the discoveries and in- yentions imaginable must lie helpless

ers-Changcs in Rates Announced.
Mr.. Frey Has Resigned.

Austin, Texas, November 1.-THE rail-
road commission has heard nothing fur
Their on the proposition to increase freight
rates submitted few days ago by Messrs.
Allen of the Katy and Spoonts of the Fort
Worth and Denver, but the filing In the
near future of formal application for
authority to advance transportation
charges all along the line may be looked
for The big transcontinental trunk lines

has been announced during the past week.
decided to abolish a majority of their COM
modify tariffs at the beginning of the year
1900. In fact, the tendency throughout
the United States is to increase railroad
charges In response TO the general advance
in prices which has been taking place dur
ing the past twelve months. Two reasons
are given for this. One is that the hulk
OF the freight moving these days having
advanced in value is able 10 bear higher
transportation charge than was exacted for
its movement a year ago, and the otner Is
that the cost of the materials needed by
the railroads in their construction, man
tenauce and operation have so increased
| that an advance in rates is necessary To
enable them to meet fixed charges and pay
| their owners a return on their investment.
In Texas the additional reason is given
that in the face OF the above the commits
sion has continually been reducing rates
since last spring That the commission
will consider a petition 10 advance rates is
not to be doubted, but that 1t will grant

Not Agree,

Fort Worth. Texas, November 10. =
Friends of j. j. Frey, general manager OF
the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
road. will regret to learn that he has ten
dered his resignation to President RIPLEY
effective on the selection of his successor
1t is said that Mr.. Frey has taken this ac-
ton on account of not being able to agree
with j. NJ. Barr. the new third vice presl-
dent of the road on policy for the oper :
ating department of the system. In 1919
when D. B. Robinson resigned the we
presidency of the Santa Re to accept .he
presidency of the Frisco line, the place
was left vacant and the general manager
reported directly to the president. MI
Ripley and Mr.. Frey worked in harmon!
! and howsweli the latter was succeeding car
best be judged by the fact that Frey io'
the past year has reduced operating ex-
penses from 70 per cent to 81 per cent o.
