REAeAN's DISSENT.
Commission Has No Authority Over the
Lumber Roads.


Austin, Texas, April las wifi he re-
WONDERED, Chairman Reagan dlsSented
from the general order issued by the rail-
road commission last week providing that
its rates shall apply on shipments of lum
Der moving locally on certain East Texas
mill roads without giving said roads au-
thority to make joint rates The reasons
for said dissent were spread on the com
missions minutes today. They are to the
effect that the trans or mill roads referred
to are not railroads within the meaning OF
the constitution or statutes and that
neither charter for railroad nor the
partial constructive and partial use of an
Incomplete railroad or tramway constitutes
such o railroad as to enable the commission
TO lawfully assume jurisdiction and con
troll thereof. In his opinion the commission
should let them alone and permit them and
the railroads with which they connect and
of which they are feeders to make such
arrangements between themselves as they
may agree upon MS to freight interehanged
until such time as they become such rail
road, as are contemplated by the consti-
tuition and laws. provided such arrange
ments shall not affect or reduce rates on
any other road than the one party thereto.

Washington (SpeciaD. - Opposition
by the European powers will prevent
consideration Of the questions of in
demnity and revision of the CONNER
cial treaties with China by an inter-
national commission sitting elsewhere
than at Pekin, as suggested by Secre-
tary Hay
In urging that these questions be dis
cusSed in the manner suggested Minis
ter Conger informed the State Depart
ment that they could be settled by the
Ministers in Pekin only with the great
est difficulty. The disinclination of
the powers to accept the proposition Of
Mr. Hay has caused him to withdraw
il. and the Ministers in Peiln will be
directed to try to reach an agreement
II explained that Mr.. Hays PROPOSE
ton was designed to facilitate the con-
clusion of the negotiations as a whole
by separating those still requiring con-
siderable deliberation from those al
ready determined Some of the powers
did not look with favor upon this sepa-
ration. and others hesitated to decide.
Announcement regarding the with
drawal of the proposition was made
after a call by Count Quadt, the Ger
man Secretary of Legation, at the State
Department, and the receipt of cable
gram from Ambassador Porter, giving
the views of the French Government
Then. too, England is said to have op-
posed the plan even more strongly
than other powers. The authorities
had expected from the preliminary
advices received, after the diplomatic
representatives of the United States
had submitted the proposition abroad,
that it would meet with some favor,
but it is evident from the final replies
which have reached the department
that it was impossible to hope for
adoption.
1t is said here that the United States
has not sustained a diplomatic defeat,
nor has any nation achieved a diplo-
matte victory; that the proposition was
submitted as a motion would be in
legislative assembly, and that it be-
ing apparent that the plan could not
command united support its author
promptly withdrew it.

RUSSIA AND AMERICA.
Both Countries in Perfect Harmony Cn
All Questions.

St. Petersburg (By Cable) I'm this
question Russia and America are alto
gether of one mind. Indeed, through.
out the Chinese trouble America and
Russia have been like that" The
speaker, the Russian Minister OF FL
nance, NJ. de Witte, locked his fore
fingers to illustrate the words. He re-
ferred to the United States proposal to
make peace without settling on the
compensation and commercial treaty
questions, these to be relegated to
congress.
M. de Witte continued:
I'VE are faithful friends of the
United States, and they are our faith
full friends"
Such words cannot help but be graft
flying to America, coming from one OF
the wisest and most powerful states
men in Europe, whose influence upon
the Russian Empire continues growing,
and seems destined to become still
greater.
The correspondent observed that
even the Russian journals declared
that the effects of the Chinese disturb
ances were more serious upon industry
and commerce than the entire Russo
Turkish War, an opinion which, he was
informed, bankers also share.
M. de Witte said:
"Our position is quite normal COM
pared with other countries. Our mala-
dies are not from ourselves, but from
without, and prevail in all the Euro
pean markets. They come from the
war in the Transvaal. When once this
malady is passed, our affairs will be all
right again. The principal evil is the
lack of capital, which is due to many
causes, equally affective also in Berlin,
Paris, Vienna and London. While
many causes are operative, as stated,
the greatest is the Transvaal. This is
true, because, first, England has had
enormous expenses, which absorb capi-
tai otherwise available for the worlds
commerce and industry; secondly, the
Transvaal gold is not coming to
