RAILROADS VS.. STEAMBOATS,.
The Former Cutting Into the Missis-
sippi valley Business

NJ C Markham, Assistant Traffic Man
ager OF the Illinois Central Railroad, was
a witness before the Industrial Commits
sion this morning. and read an interest
Ing statement about the transportation on
the Mississippi River and its effect and IN
fuence on railroad transportation.
Mr. Markham stated that prior to 1870
the Mississippi River and ITS tributaries
transported the greater part OF freight
and passengers TO and from the States
traYersed by them. Since then, howev-
er, he said the construction CO a large
railroad mileage in the Mississippi Val
ley had somewhat Diminished the volume
&C the traffic handled on the rivers
IN 1870, he said. there were only p, IS2
miles of railroad in eighteen States OF
the Mississippi Valley Now. he said.
there were upward OF 1lo eco miles of rail-
road in the these same States Trade rec
ords, he said, showed a decreased ton
mage movement by the river year by year.
yet the total vessels and volume of river
business is still very large
Mr. Markham quoted largely from sta
tistics TO show that with improved trans
portation facilities the railroads were
gradually getting the bulk of the traffic
for leading trade centres that was for
merry controlled by the river men This
was due TO the railroads Offering uer-
chants rates approximate those made
by the river
The whole question Of railroad rates, he
said, can be summed up in the remark
that the power Of the railroads to en-
force any given rate is :cumscribed By
the water carriers. ana the maximum
they can charge is prescribed by the rIv-
ers, lake, and ocean carriers.

House this morning and had a talk with
Secretary Cortelyou in regard to the
Presidents intinerary through Montana
upon his return from the Pacific Coast.
All of the large towns Of the State have
asked the privilege Of entertaining the
distinguished party but it is probable
that only brief stops wiz be made at
few of the principal cities. The details of
the itinerary, it is expected, viii be ar
ranged in a few days.
Secretary Cortelyou IS busy each day
making plans for the trip. and is endeav-
oring to arrange matters SO that as many
as possible OF the large number Of invi-
tations received may. be accepted. At
some places stops of half an hour viii be
made to enable the people to see the
President, and at each town he win
doubtless be expected to make a brief
speech
The complete itinerary viii probably not
be announced until just before the start
is made in order that any changes which
it may be found necessary to make at a
late date may not cause disappointment
to the localities which It viii be impossI-
BILE for the President to visit.
Invitations and offers of hospitality are
being received every day, but it WI be
number of these Senator Burton has ex-
acted promise from the President that
he will come back through a portion of
Kansas, at least, and stop at Lawrence
and Topeka
Mr. Mckinley has also accepted the in
vitation made by II. T. Scott Of San
Francisco, the builder of the battleships
Ohio and Oregon, to occupy his residence
while in that city. Mr.. Scott and his

Berlin Said to Approve Russia's
Statement Regarding China.
BERLIN. April 6.-Russia's statement to
the Powers regarding her attitude toward
China on the Manchurian question is ac-
eepted here as being most satisfactory in
that 1t VIII result in definitely shelving the
question and be certain TO facilitate nego-
tiations
Advices from Pekin state that, while
Russia has not as yet signed the supple
nnentary list of those marked for punish
ment, submitted by the Powers to the
Chinese Commissioners on Wednesday,
she CRussia) has declared that she intends
to influence China to accept it.
Despite statements from abroad that
Russia, in her note TO the Powers, does
not show any disposition TO occupy Man
chUria for a temporary period only and
that the serious situation in the East
has not been changed BY her action, this
Government adheres 10 the Interpretation
which il placed on the note yesterday,
namely, that Russia has given the most
positive assurances of her good faith TO-
ward China and the Powers and accepts
me principle mat there SIA14l De no terri
toriaI or financial arrangement between
China and any nation without the con-
sent of all the nations engaged n the ne
gotiltions at Pekin-
This Government, II is said has accept
ed these professions in spirit and in let
ter, and cannot understand how any 9TH
CT Power can do otherwise The Russian
note, it is claimed, is, in effect, a pledge
TO the Powers that Manchuria viii be
evacuated by Russian troops as soon as
normal conditions have been restored
there Any evasion Of this pledge would
be an affront to the other nations in
volyed.
The American Government is, there
fore, it Is stated, unable to pursue any
other course than to assure Russia Of its
qualification over the frankness with
which the Cars ministers have stated
their intention not TO assume permanent
control of Manchuria and TO await devel-
opments.

A TYPHOID FEVER EPIDEMIC.
New Haven Health Authorities Trace
the Disease TO Lake Dawson.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. April 6.-There is
a full-dedged typhoid fever scare among
the health authorities here The disease
has suddenly become epidemic.
IN the fast few days about seven cases
have been reported TO the health board
inspectors began an investigation at once,
and traced the cause OF the disease 10
drinking water. New Ravens water sup
ply is from four lakes but as the disease
is confined TO that portion of the city
which is supplied by Lake Dawson, at
Bethany, an investigation Of this was
made at once. Then il became known that
a farmer in that locality had reported
several cases in his family The health au-
thorities say that Lake Dawson has be
come filled with germs of the disease.
Several thousand homes and the Yale
University buildings are supplied with
this water. Already two Yale men have

CUTTING PHILIPPINE TIMBER,
Effect of Secretary Roots Decision
Regarding the IlonK amendment.

Secretary Roots decision that the Hoar
amendment to the Arms Appropriation
bill, which prohibits the sale or other
disposition of timber on state lands in
the Philippines, does not interfere with
General Order No. z. authorizing the
cutting and sale Of timber under the di-
rection Of the Forestry Bureau in Ma
Mia, is causing considerable comment.
The Secretary of War has written no le-
gal opinion on the subject but his view
is sustained by ex-Attorney General
Griggs-
Several days ago Judge Taft and Cen
eral Macarthur each cabled the War De-
partment to know if the HOar provision
annulIed the Commissions order issued
last July regulating the sale of timber.
After a careful consideration of the sub
ject. Secretary Root cabIed General Mac
Arthur that the Hoar amendment did not
interfere with the Commissions order.
This order is based on existing Spanish
laws regulating the use OF public timber.
The necessity for allowing the cutting
of timber has been pointed out several
times by General Macarthur and Judge
Taft. They represent that without such
law a lumber famine would exist which
would really prevent persons from cut
ting timber to construct houses or fire
wood This. they claim, would work con-
siderable hardship upon the natives.
1t is the opinion Of the Secretary Of
War that Senator Hears amendment was
not Intended to interfere with the i'm
proYement Of the forests and as many of
the timber lands can be improved by thin
ming out the product, the order is to be
followed with care by the forestry Off
Gals There viii be no granting of GER
tain space in which all the timber in that
area can be cut On the contrary, it is
expressly provided that the license shall
state the kind Of wood 10 be cut and it
can be cut only under the direction of the
forestry officials. who viii see that the
cutting shall not fniUre the timber re-
