New York, July S.--Traffic officials of
the eastern trunk lines are in consulta-
tion with similar officials of the lake
lines, western trunk lines and north
western roads, seriously discussing the
demands of the northwestern millers for
what the latter claim is just and fair
treatment. q, The transportation people,
however, make no secret Of CHASING the
action Of the millers as demands for
preferential treatment and the present
settlement Of the dispute. A prominent
trunk line. official at this point, when
questioned regarding the reasons of rail-
roads for charging more for the transpor-
tation of flour than of rain, said:
1--WE do not charge more, for transport
ing flour than we do grain. The net
profit, as matter of fact Is smaller in
however, is that the millers are not fair
in their statements. They want to get
-four through at ballast rates, but they
want at the same time the most excep-
tional and expeditions transportation, and
they want, moreover, to have an entirely
one-sided contract. That is,s they want
to send flour forward when and in such
quantities as they desire. They want the
railroad people and the ocean steamers to
keep accommodation always ready for the
flour business at every point, and they
are not willing to pay for it. They want,
for instance. to ship flour on similar con-
ditions as dressed meat is shipped, but
they are not willing, as is the custom with
dressed meat, to pay for the dead room
in the steamer in cases where they do
not ship their stuff in time to reach the
steamer. The railroads are being made
the scapegoats by the millers to cover up
the millers own delinquencies.'
. The millers, he asserted, had also be-
come neglectful and exercised no care in
making shipments.

ture of yesterday afternoons council ses
sion was an address by William T. Harris,
United States commissioner of education.
Fle discussed "The Difference Between
Efficient and Final Causes in Education.
Mr.. Harris said in part:
Although most persons believe in the free
dom of the will, those who have dfscin1ined
their minds into belief that each fact or
event is brought about by preceding facts or
events which belong to its causal line or Sc
ries are wont to think Of human volition as
necessitated by some outside cause.
J. In the case OF an efficient cause there is
the orlgination and transference of causal
influence down a chain or series of effects
Those who regard all the members of the Sc
ries as effects not modifying the causal influ-
ence at all. but transmitting it just as re-
celVed from beyond, must either acknowledge
that there Is a real cause existing beyond the
series and transcending it, namely, a cause
which can originate and modify causal chains,
or, secondly, that there is NJ transcendental
cause and no real originating cause at all in
the series or elsewhere. -. .-~
But in denying real causality they at the
| same time deny that the chain contains eff
fects, because there is no originating cause
of influence either within it or without it. -
To act with an end and aim Cor final cause)
is to act with freedom. Final cause is,
therefore, evidence of freedom in the sense
Of origination of causality.
Those who assume that the only kind of
causality is that in which an effect is pro-
dueed by an external cause, when the matter
of final cause or purpose or end is brought to
their attention. resort to the argument of the
strongest motive. g -. = ~. =

.M0RGAN'S 0FFER|IN POPE'S HANDS
To Place All British Ships in
the Combine at Disposal .
of Admiralty.

London, July Sin the house of com
mons to-day the parliamentary secretary
to the admiralty, H.. C. Arnold-F Forster,
replying to William Redmond, the Irish
leader, confirmed the report that J. Pier
pont Morgan had offered to place all the
British ships in the new combine at the
disposal of the admiralty, for the next
fifty years on certain terms.
He added that the offer had not yet
been accepted, because it could only be
dealt with in relation to British shipping
generally and the Atlantic trade position
which was now being very carefully con-
sidered by the government
