Interstate Commerce Commission Inquiry
Into Alleged Discrimination.
Chicago, Nov. 21.-At yesterdays SEES
sion Of the interstate commerce COM
mission. jobbers of Norfolk, Neb., pre-
scented their case against several of
the western roads, alleging discrimina-
ton in favor Of Lincoln, Neb.
The rate on merchandise to Norfolk,
they said, was $122 from Chicago,
while to Lincoln the rate is only IS
cents. There is no reason, they
claimed, why such a difference in the
rates should exist. The railroads de-
Tended their action with the claim that
circumstances and conditions were en-
tirely different and that Lincoln could
be reached more directly and less ex-
pensively to the roads than Norfolk

the army 5000 or $500, entirely in the a.
tillery, this increase extending over a pc
riod of years. While differing from the
provision originally recommended, Mr.
Root approved the Senate amendment, as
il would permit the War Department 10

The situation nov, in caring for seaeoast
