ROAST FOR THE RAILROADS
Annual Report of the Interstate Conn
MERGE Commission.

Annual Report of the Interstate Conn
merce Commission.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The annual
report of the interstate commerce com-
mission has been given out. In it the
commission says: In previous reports
to congress, attention has been called to
the vital respects in which the act has
proved defective and inadequate. Some
of its provisions were early seer to be
imperfect while others We're so uncer-
tain and ambiguous as to give rise to
protracted litigation, resulting finally
in authoritative construction by the SUI
preme court of the United States.
Meanwhile the situation has become
intolerable, both from the standpoint of
the public and the carriers. Tariffs are
disregarded, determinations constantly
occur, the price at which transportation
can be obtained is auctuating and un-
certain. Railroad managers are dis
trustful Of each other and shippers all
the while in doubt as to the rates Sc
cured by their competitors. The
volume of traffic is so unusual as to
frequently exceed the capacity Of
equipment, yet the contest for tonnage
seems never relaxed. Enormous sums
are spent in purchasing business and
secret rates accorded far below the
standard of published charges. The
general public gets little benefit from
these reductions, for concessions are
mainly confined to the heavy shippers.
All this augments the advantages of
large capital and tends to the injury
and often to the ruin of smaller dealers.
These are not only matters of gravest
consequence to the business welfare of
the country, but they concern in no less
degree the higher interests of public
morality.

REVISED HIS REPORT.

New Version Sent to the Investigating
Board by General Egan.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Commissary
General Eagan has sent to the war in
vestigating commission a revised state
ment in place of that originally made
in response to General Miles charges.
The revised statement is about IS per
cent shorter than that which was or
dered withdrawn because of its violent
and abusive character. The commission
after its receipt, went into secret SEES
sion to read the document and decide
whether in its present form it had been
expurgated sufficiently to permit it to
be made a part of the commissions
records.
The commission, after a brief session,
decided for the present to make public
only General Eagan's letter and not the
statement accompanying it. .

Army Beef.

Colonel Roosevelt Gives His Opinioa, ee
Army Beef.
ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 16.-Governor
Roosevelt stated that he had written Q
letter to Major General Miles concern
ing the character Of the meat furnished
during the Santiago campaign. General
Miles at Washington has made refer
ence to the receipt of that letter. The
governor, as colonel Of the regiment Of
Rough Riders, submitted q report to
the war department in September last
which contained practically the same
account of the condition of the beef as
was set forth in his letter to General
Miles. The governor, in his letter,
stated that four kinds Of beef were fur
nished to the Rough Riders from the
time they left Florida for Cuba, until
their return.
The first of these was corned beef.
Its quality was good. The salt in the
meat seasoned the other ~articlesof food
and the men found it quite palatable.
The second kind was canned roast beef,
which was without flavor and taste and
would turn the stomachs Of those who
ate it. 1t was stringy and tough and
without any qualities which would rem
der it a fit article of food. There was
but one way in which the men could
eat it, and that was by making it into
a stew. Fresh vegetables were not
always obtainable, and stews could be
made only occasionally. When the
Rough Riders left Tampa, q large
quantity of specially prepared beef
was placed aboard the transport on
which they embarked. This beef was
quarters and was stored in the forward
end of the transport. It had been
prepared by some special process, un-
known to Colonel Roosevelt, but sup
posed to be with some form Of solution.
The transport was out from Tampa but
a few hours when this beef began to
smell. The stencil was so great that
the men avoided the forward end of the
transport as much as possible. The
meat could not be eaten and it was
thrown into the ocean. A fourth kind
Of beef was served to the Rough Riders
at Santiago, after July Is. It was of a
good quality and wa brought to Cuba
in special steamers with refrigerating
facilities. Governor Roosevelt's official
report was accompanied by reports of
the quartermater and surgeon and the
several cantains.

firms Fridays statement by the Vienna
correspondent Of The Standard as to the
issuance of a circular from st. Peters
burg to the powers embodying pro-
gramme to DO considered at the pro-
posed conference on the limitation Of

bases of discussion are given with great
detail. He cites for example the prohi-
bition of employment of new inven-
tions, of the use of explosives, submarine
vessels and the practice of ramming
vessels. The programme also proposes,
he says, a discussion of the avoidance of
war by recourse to arbitration wherever
nossihle.

FORECAST OF DEFEAT
OPPOSITION TO RATIFICATION CLAIM
NECESSARY VOTES.

Have Held Several Meetings Of Late and
Know Their Exact strength-Their
Course Outlined-WMl Agree to Rati.
ficatior Provided . Certain Amendment
Il Added Latter to. Declare Against
Maintenance of Sovereignty in the
Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-It is the pur-
pose of Senator Davis, in charge Of the
peace treaty, to again call it up as soon
as it can be reached without displacing
other measures which take precedence
under the existing orders of the senate.
These questions are the Indian appro-
priation and the Nicaraguan canal bills.
The opponents of the treaty express
great confidence to be able to defeat it
upon q vote, and to profess to believe
that the friends Of the agreement will
seek,to postpone a vote until the next
session. The Democratic opponents Of
the agreement have held several meet
ings during the past week and those
who have attended profess to be very
hopeful concerning the outlook. They
claim "a votes in opposition, or
Three More Than Necessary to Defeat.
They say they will be satisfied to have
the treaty ratified providing an amend
ment is engrafted upon it declaring
against the maintenance of sovereignty
in the Philippines, but the supporters Of
the treaty &C far decline to grant any
such concession. Some of them express
a willingness to adopt a separate resolu-
ton to this end, and it is not impossible
that this course may be pursued. The
supporters of the treaty do not claim to
be in the least disturbed over the out
look. They count upon considerable
delay in securing action, but still hold
to their contention that the treaty will
be ratified just as it came to the senate.
Canal Bill Expected to Pass.
Under the agreement made last week,
the canal bill will be first taken up for
discussion in speeches not to exceed Is
minutes duration. There is no agree
ment for a vote on the bill, but the be-
lief is general that the understanding
already reached will lead to an early
vote. Senator Morgan does not expect
a great many 15-minute speeches and
he predicts that the bill will go through
without being amended in any essential
particular. The acceptance by the
committee of the Berry amendments
has had the effect of removing much of
the opposition to the bill and there is be-
lieved to be little doubt of its passage
when the vote is taken.

FORAKER ON EXPANSION.
Ohio Senator Makes a Notable Address OF
h Subject.

Ohio Senator Makes a Notable Address on
the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA climax has
been reached in the debate on the ques-
ton of expansion which is in progress
in the senate. Heretofore all of the
speeches, with the notable exception of
that Of Mr.. Platt of Connecticut, have
been in opposition to what is presumed
to be the policy of the administration
with respect to the acquisition of the
Philippines. During the day Mr.. Fora
ker of Ohio addressed the senate in op-
position to the declaration of the Vest
resolution that the United States had
no constitutional power to acquire for
eign territory to be maintained as colo
MES. While much of his speech was de-
voted to a constitutional argument in
support of the right of this country as a
nation to acquire and govern outlying
territory he gave particular attention to
the utterances that have been made in
contravention of that position, espe-
cially those of Mr.. Vest and MI. Hoar.
Argues on Broad Lines.
-sL#. .s--- E# HH.. tHaH#H HTI .
He laid down the broad proposition
that to adopt the Vest resolution was to
declare that our fathers had brought
forth a nation that was inferior to all
other nations regardless of.the generally
accepted idea that one nation was the
equal of another and all equally re-
stricted. He maintained that the right
to acquire territory was an inherent
right Of nationality and that as we have
the right to make war and to enter into
treaty agreements it follows logically
that we have the right to acquire terri
tory by conquest and to assume the re-
possibilities that may accrue there
from.
Mr.. Foraker's strong assertion that
the acquisition Of the Philippines was
temporary in character created a SEN
sation in the chamber. He maintained,
however, that we have a legal right to
hold the islands permanently.

with an escort during the day time.

Presidents CommisSlon to the Philippines
Expected to Result in Much Good.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE commits
sion which the president is about to
appoint to proceed to the Philippines
will not be subject to the confirmation
of the United States senate, but will be
named under reserved authority of the
president. It is not expected to commit
the United States government to the
independence of the natives, nor is it to
frame a scheme Of government for the
islands, as was the case with the Hawa-
iian commission. Undoubtedly, how
ever, the commissioners will u%nof6cially
confer with the natives and advise with
the military authorities, it being felt
here that men of their
Experience and Qualifications
will be valuable counsellors in the con-
ditions now existing. 1t is believed that
the natives al be kept from hostilities
until the arrival of the commission at
Manila, and then it is hoped that the
best results will follow the visit, includ-
ing the reinsurance of the natives upon
many points as to what they are now
doubtful. It will also be perceived that
by the appointment of the commission
the president is granting the appeal of
some of the best Filipinos, who are con-
fdent that both sides will be enlightened
by its creation, and declare that the
United States government will L.
shown that the
Abilities of the Filiplnos
for government has been underesti-
mated, while the Filipinos themselves
will be induced to have patience before
insisting upon self-government.
So far as can be gathered, the presi-
dent has not completed the list of the
commissioners. Surprising that he in
cludes General Otis and Admiral
Dewey, he would add the names of
President Schurman of Cornell univer-
sity and Professor Worcester of Ann
Arbor. He has under consideration the
name of Charles DENLY as the last
member, but as Mr.. DENLY is engaged
with the wal investigating commission
at present he has not positively decided
to appoint him.

Claims Regarding the Philippines.

Senior Agoncillo Reiterates His Former
Claims Regarding the Philippines.
: WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-Senor Felipe
Agoncillo, the representative of General
Aguinaldo in Washington, has fled with
the state department a memorandum set
ting forth at length the reasons for his
claim that the Philippine government
should be recognized by this govern
ment.
Accompanying the memorandum was
a letter in which Senior Agoncillo states
that he has received no reply to his
communication of Jan. 6 in which he
asks that a suitable time be arranged
when he could be presented to the
president and heard upon his claim. In
view Of the position in which the repre-
sentatives of the American government
and the representatives of the Philip
pine government find themselves upon
the islandsat this time he urges that
the matter be given immediate atten-
ton.
Reiterates Former Claims.
The letter and memorandum have been
listed as official documents in the state
department, and although the officials
have themselves refused to make them
public they have nevertheless expressed
q willingness for Senior Agoncillo to do
so if he desired. The papers are in the
hands of Secretary Hay. The memoran-
DUN is along the same lines as state
ments heretofore made public by the
Philippine representative. Senior Agon-
clio asserts the Filipinos established
and for seven months have maintained q
form of government resembling the
American, in that it is based upon the
right of the people to rule themselves;
that Spain at the time of the treaty of
Paris held possession of only one port
and the remainder of the Philippines,
except Manila, being in possession of the
Philippine republic, Spain could give no
title to the United States.
