there was no intention on the part of
the government to throw cold water

United Kingdom. explaining that while
such a project as this might be of great
imperial interest. it might at the same
time be of greater Importance to spe-

the under secretary said he did not
think anyone conversant with the fin

ungenerous. It offered, he said, to
share the burden without demanding a

matter with a sincere desire to arrive
at decision which would be satisfac-
tory to all concerned.

the Earl of Aberdeen in thinking that
the conditions were unduly stringent.

Export Rate Situation.

New York, May 15.-The interstate
commerce commission to-day began an
investigation in this city of the export
rate situation and the alleged manipu-
lation of low export grain tariffs of
which complaints have been made by
New York merchants against the east
bounds to Newport News, Baltimore
Philadelphia and other north Atlantic
seaboard ports. 1t is asserted that tar
iffs for export trade are lower than
those on domestic shipments and that
domestic grain has been carried at the
low export rates on the representation
that it was destined to foreign port.
The commission is to hold sessions in
all the principal cities of the East and
West.
1t is proposed to secure evidence
showing all the important changes that
have taken place in rates to the Allan
tic seaboard on shipments of grain and
grain products and the reason therefor.
