AFTER THE RAILROADS.

Minnesota Commission Gives Notice of a
ST. PAUL, Jan. 29.-The state railroad
commission has taken action which
promises to result in nfar-reaching devel-
opments. Notice has been served on all
the railroads of the Twin Cities that
they will be required to show cause why
reductions should not be made in GER
tain kinds Of freight, especially in the
carriage Of wheat and flax incoming to
the Twin Cities and outgoing merchan-
disc.
The commission has long thought the
southwestern part of the state suffered
unjustly in rate matters in comparison
with the northwestern section. For in
stance, it is understood that the south
western roads have enjoyed a rate of
from 1 to 8 cents per 100 pounds
more on certain classes of freight
than those handling the business
in the northwestern part. The
Northern Pacific is the one road not
mentioned in the resolution adopted by
the commission, although it is said to
have been notified Of the hearing. That
road has been making lower rate,
apparently, than the others, although
the Great Northern meets it at competi-
tive points. If the purpose of the COM
mission has been correctly learned, that
body desires the farmer to have lower
rate on grain shipped into the Twin
Cities, and to have a lower rate on mer-
chandise shipped from the Twin Cities
to adjoining towns.
The hearing is set for Wednesday,
Feb. 81.

A DECLARATION
Belief Growing That Congress
Should Definitely State Its
Position. -,
Further Delay Might Work Harm
to Islands and the Admin
istration.
Senate Expected to Take the First
Practical Steps to This
End. 49,,

New YORK, Jan. 29.-A special to
The Herald from Washington says:
The impression is growing among ad-
ministration leaders that there should
be some definite action by congress,
without much further delay, upon the
problem of the Philippine policy. It is
generally felt that further delay in the
declaration Of some sort Of government
policy in regard to the islands may not
only work harm to the islands, but may
be used by the Democrats in the presi-
Dental campaign.
The senate is expected to take the first
practical steps on this line; but as yet
nothing has been done. Senator Lodge
OF Massachusetts, chairman of the Phil
ippine committee, has, up to this time,
been of the opinion that there should be
nothing in the nature Of declaration of
policy in advance Of the ending of the
insurrection by the capture Of Aguinal-
do and the surrender by the Filpinos of
their arms. It is understood several
prominent senators on the committee
are urging action for two reasons ;ndi-
Gated, that a declaration by congress
would tend to help conditions in the
Philippines, and that such action would
strengthen the administration.
Spooner Has a Resolution.
The only resolution now before the
senate, legislative in it's character, is
that Of Senator Spooner of Wisconsin.
This is modelled on the similar resolution
Of congress under which the president
obtained full authority, legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial, IN the territory
covered by the Louisiana purchase until
such time as congress should itself take
charge. '"-
81 think it would be BETTER" said Mr..
Spooner, ''to take that action than to
have the conduct of affairs remain in
the hands Of the president, simply
through his power as commander-in-
chief OF the army, a year after peace has
been secured. The most practical dec
laration we can give the people there
would be to show them that congress
recognizes that we have acquired poses-
sion OF the country and we are legislat-
ing for it.
"Of course we shall put down the in
surrection. That is what we have in
creased the army for, and, by showing
them that congress treats them as in
surrectionists and regards their country
as part of the territory controlled by us,
we will, think, do more towards bring
ing about a settlement than a mere
formal declaration of policy
Senator Morgan Of Alabama agrees
with Senator Spooner's view of what
should be done by congress.

with one condition, of the denomination
of William j. Bryan for the presidency.
Mr.. Cochran proposes a truce with the

AWARDED A SITE.
Washington Statue to Be Erected on the
Place de jena at Paris.

Washington Statue to Be Erected on the
Place de Jena at Paris.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Wash
mgton Statue association, of which Mrs.
Justice Field is president, and the OBJ
ject Of which is to present to France
statue of Washington, commemorative
of the gratitude Of the women of Amer
ica for the aid rendered to their country
in it's infancy and hour Of need by
France, has just received concession
from the municipality Of Paris of site
for the statue on the beautiful Place de
Jena at the intersection Of the Avenue
de Jena and the Avenue du Trocadero.
The monument will be thoroughly
American, in that the statue was
modelled in this country by American
sculptors and has been cast i'll bronze by
an American company. Moreover, the
pedestal was designed by an American
and will be executed in American
granite.
The incident chosen is when Wash
ington took command Of the army at
Cambridge, and he is represented with
uplifted sword, invoking Divine aid.
The statue is equestrian, Of bronze,
and of heroic size, being about 81 feet in
height to the point of the sword, and is
to be erected on classic pedestal of
granite 40 feet in height
It is designed to unveil the monument
on July next, the anniversary of the
day on which Washington assumed
command Of the army. The statue has
been fully paid for. But several thou
sand dollars are tillneeded for the COM
pletion of the pedestal and for the ex-
penses incident to the unveiling, and
the association hopes for the prompt co.
operation of all patriotic women Of the
United States in raising the additional
amount required.

FROM THE BOER CAMP.

British Shells Had Done Little Damage Up
to Tuesday Noon.
BoER CAMP, Modder Spruit, Upper
Tugela River, Tuesday, Jan. 23.-The
British are now endeavoring to force
with 10000 troops, the Spion kop route
to Ladysmith. The firing on General
Botha's position yesterday was terrific.
The grass was fired, rocks dislodged and
trenches pierced, but the battle was
practically one-sided, the federals firing
only 80 shots. A ball from shell landed
in Geheral Botha's pocket. The only
Boer casualties were some horses
wounded. The firing ceased at dark.

vicinity of Ladysrnith and here, but up

LONDON, Jan. 29.-It is reported that
the British under General Butler have
suffered another reverse besides that at
Spion kop and that a portion of his
force has been driven back beyond the
positions he held prior to the attack on
Spion kop.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The Evening
Journal publishes report that the ex-
treme right division at Chieveley, under
General Clery, has been surprised by
the Beers.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-The war Office an
nounces that the casualties reported by
General Butler on Friday, occurred in
the battalions of General Lyttelton's s
brigade, which, SO far as known at the
war Office was not engaged in the cap
ture Or defense Of Spion kop. 1t appears,
therefore, that they are additional to the
considerable casualties which General
Butler has reported as having occurred
at Spion kop.

Friday, Jan. 26.-It is reported on good

| LONDON, Jan. 29.-In connection with
the meeting of the defense committee of
the cabinet the rumor was reiterated
that the war Office is concealing the
gravest kind Of news from the Upper
Tugela river. The reports even go so
far as to say the forces of General Butler
are in full retreat. It is impossible to
confirm or deny the reports, as the
officials maintain strict silence as to
the rumors. They say they have moth
ing for publication. 1t is evident, how
ever, from the war Office announce
ment, that the casualties reported by
General Butler occurred in General Lyt-
telton's brigade, which apparently was
not engaged at Spion kop, that there has
been severe fighting not yet reported.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chancel-
lor of tie exchequer, came to London
purposely to attend the defense commit
tee meeting and Joseph Chamberlain,
the secretary of state for the colonies,
gave up other engagements for the same
reason.
Lord Wolseley, the commander-in-
chief OF the forces, was also present at
the meeting of the committee.

Dispatch From Berlin Not Believed to BE
Authentic.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-1:15 p. m.-The
war Office has no news of the catastrophe
to General Buffers force reported from
Berlin, and discredits the story. Neither
has the war office any explanation, at
least for publication, of the abandon
ment Of Spion kop, and there are no ad-
vices in this connection from indepen-
dent sources. The disposition is to re-
gard the evacuation as not so serious as
at first thought, and commentators are
abusing the military authorities, both at
the front and at home, for publishing
hasty accounts of an incomplete, half
understood operation, thus alternately
thrilling and depressing the nation.
