WESTERN FREIGHT RATES.
Live Stock Rate Between Chicago
And Kansas City Cut.
SANTA FE HAS GIVEN NOTICE.

Wichita, Aug. 9.-Word reached this
city over the Associated Press that
western freight rate situation devel-
oped into a state of open war when the
Santa Fe gave notice that, beginning
next Monday, that company would
carry live stock between Chicago and
Kansas City for 12 cents per hundred
pounds. This is cut of 1119 cents,
and is the lowest rate given on live
stock since 1895, when there was a
ing, and when the live stock rate be-
tween the river and Chicago went to
10 cents. Officials of the Santa Fe took
no action regarding the packing house
purpose of the Santa Fe is not dis
closed.
The Santa Fe live stock rate will af-
feet the tariff from points far west of
Kansas City to Chicago, as the rates
from all interior points will be no more
than the through rate to Chicago.
Other lines from Kansas City, to get
live stock business to Chicago, will
have to meet the Santa Fe cut and
under the rulings of the interstate
commerce commission these competing
lines will be compelled to make the
same rate from other points along the
river, or in Missouri river territory,
that they make from Kaneas City.

AMERICAN PACIFIC CABLE.
Line To The orient Considered Already
In Sight

Oyster Bay, Aug. 11.-Several months
ago the Pacific Commercial Cable COM
pany sought permission from the ex-
ecutive branch of the government to
lay Pacific cable running from San
Francisco via Honolulu and Guam to
China, there to connect with the Brit
ish cable to the Philippines. The
proposition of the company was to
assume all expenses of laying and
operating the cable and to grant to the
United States government special rates
and in certain conditions of war prac-
tically absolute control of the cable.
Mr.. Roosevelt referred the whole
subject to Attorney General Knox,
with a request that he go, carefully
over the proposed conditions. The
result of his investigation and his con-
illusions Mr.. Knox presented to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, during long inter
view.
President Roosevelt approved of the
amended conditions, and so far as the
executive branch of the government is
concerned the company now may pro-
coed with the work of laying the cable.
1t is regarded as essential, however,
that the conditions be ratified by act
of congress, as some doubt exists of the
right of the executive branch of the
government alone to grant such priv
ileges as are included in the Pacific
Commercial Cable company's PROPOSE
ton.
Attorney General Knox is inclired
to the opinion that the company will
practically proceed Immediately to con-
struct its line. Considerable time will
be required for the preliminary ar
engagements before the actual laying Of
the cable begins, but it is regarded
now as certain that an American-owned
and operated cable line to the Orient i'll
in sight.
By those who have studied the sub
ject it is believed that cable laid
under the conditions proposed will be,
to all intents and purposes, a govern
ment cable line, with few, if any, of
the disadvantages attendant upon gov
eminent construction and maintenance

FOR COLLECTION OF RENTS.
FrIars Transferred Titles to Facilitate
Getting Revenue.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The war de-
partment has known for some time
that portions of the Friar lands in the
Philippines have been disposed of to
companies, and all of the recent nego-
tiations conducted by Secretary Root
have carefully taken into account any
contingencies which might arise
through these transfers. The facts
were fully communicated to the gov
eminent here by Governor Taft. The
latter also explained this matter of
alleged transfer to the senate commit
tee on the Philippines. In the course
of his evidence before the committee,
Governor Taft said, in answer to the
question whether the Friars were in
actual possession of the lands:
Generally in order to avoid hostili-
ties, they have transferred their titles
to companies and retained majority
of the stock"
AS to the bona-fide nature of the
transfers to certain companies, Gov
ernor Taft said that he had cross
examined the heads of religious orders.
He added:
81 think after you read the evidence
it will become obvious that while it is
true that transfers have been made,
they have been colorado in this sense
not fraudulent, do not say that
but they have been colorado in the
sense that the transfer made was for
the purpose of giving the public the
impression that the Friars had parted
with their titles and thus facilitating
the collection of rents, while in fact
the ownership is still retained. That
is my information as to the condition
of the titles now, in spite of the pro-
test filed by some stockholders with
respect to the ownership of some
haciendaS"
