LETS POOL"
Reply of the Railroads to the
Interstate Commissions
Attacks. f.

From The Journal Bureau, Room 40. Post
Baildisg, tpashangtosa
Washington, March 26.-The campaign
of the Interstate commerce commission
against secret rate cutting will be met by
a demand on the part of the railroads for
a pooling bill The roads claim it will be
absolutely necessary for their protection.
The case is not difficult to understand.
The Interstate commerce act, which has
had new life injected into it, and which is
to be enforced by direct processes of the
court of equity, requires that the roads
shall maintain uniform rates to all ship
pers. ALI roads must charge the same to
all shippers between the same points.
But, say the railroad men, it would be
impossible thus to maintain uniform rates
without agreements. Pooling, 1t is
claimed, is essential to uniformity Of
rates.. But pooling is forbidden, both by
the Interstate and by the Sherman
antitrust law. The roads have all had
warning that traffic associations or any
other pooling devices would be prosecuted
by the Interstate commission and by the
| department of justice. The only way out,
it is claimed, is law repeating that sec
ton of the interstate act which forblds
pooling, and also repeating so mucn OF tne
Sherman antitrust law as applies to pool
ing contracts between railroads.
Senator Stephen B. Elkins, chairman
of the interstate commerce committee,
who is in close touch with the railroads,
believes there is a sentiment among the
railroads strong enough 20 get his bill
through the senate at this session. He is
not taking account particularly of the SEN
timent among shippers. They are sup
posed to be content with the prospects of
relief held forth in the course adopted
by the Interstate commission and federal
law department. The commission finds
itself in sympathy with the railroads in
the matter of pooling legislation. The
commissioners believe the law should be
amended so as to permit such contracts
for the maintenance of rates, subject, of
course, to the supervision and regulation
OF the commission. w. W. Jermane.

BROKEN DOWN

Anxieties and Siege of Kimberley
London, March 26-The death of Cecil
Rhodes came as great surprise to those
few who saw anything of him during his
visit to London last winter. Whether 1t
was due to his experiences during the
long siege of KIMBERLY, or, the accumu-
lated anxieties regarding the war in Sout h
Africa. with an, accompanying change of
public feeling in England toward him,
there Is no doubt he has been almost
completely broken down within the last
two years. Even his appearance changed
His once finely chiseled face had become
bloated, and his huge frame filled out un-
til walking was most difficult.
He was frequently attacked with severe
heart troubles, but he ever exhibited the
stoicism which marked his extraordinary
career, and did not allow his bodily all
ments to interfere with his business Up
to the last Mr.. Rhodes kept firm grip on
all those vast South African interests
created and controlled by him. EXCEPT
that he was more irritable and more die
tatorial In his manner Of handling men,
millions and empires, there was no diff
ference
Towards the social side of life, however.
he soured. Once his days work was done
he shut himself in his London house
where he denied himself to all except half
dozen favored tntimates. DR.. Jameson
was his constant companion. They could
be seen In the park in the morning TAX
Ing solitary rides on horses, never going
faster than a walk. More especially did
Mr. Rhodes shun the present government
leaders. He bitterly expressed his con-
tempt OF British army methods in South
Africa and 2robabiy never quite forgaye
Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Miner for not
consulting him or endeavoring to utilize
the powerful financial-political machine
which Mr.. Rhodes manipulated over the
whole of South Africa. With increasing
Feasibility, he grew more restless as the
end drew near. He was never contented
to stay long in one place.
His closing days devolved into an I'M
scene. During his recent trip to Egypt
this was particularly noticeable.
He rushed from place to place, as II
with the only object of upsetting his own
plans. Then he suddenly returned to
England.
Financially, Mr.. Rhodes death is not
likely to have any far-reaching results,
as all his enterprises were systematized
SO thoroughly as not to need the master
mind SO necessary to their, inception
Owing to the great success of the DeBeers
mines, the British Chartered South Africa
company and other great South African
ventures, Rhodes fortune had been stead
lily accommodating. He lost m oneys over the
war, but what inroeds that made must
have been trifing compared with the
many millions he possessed.

Northwestern Railway Stu
alton Makes It Sensitive.
SUITS TOO PLENTIFUL,
Eminent Counsel at Variance on
Northern Securities Outcome.
THE NEW PURCHASE OF HAWLEY
Colorado g. Southern to Be Rum on
the Same Principle, as the Min
neapOlis & St. Louis.

Special to The Journal.
New York, March 26.-The northwestern
railway situation is getting so overloaded
with injunction suits as a result Of the
agitation against the Northern Securities
deal, and also the litigation of the in
terstate commerce commission, that SEN
timent in Wall street has become sensi-
tive and irritable on further news Of this
character.
1t is understood that the securities in
terests hope for decision Of the Knox
suit in the lower court at the latest by
the end of June. If the decision is against
the securities company an appeal will I'M
doubtedly be taken to the supreme court.
If the decision favors the company there
is a possibility that no appeal may be
taken. At least this is the view, of some
people interested in the case. There is
wide diversity of opinion as to the prob
able result. Mr.. Hill and associates are
understood to be entirely confident that
the case will go in favor of the securities
company from the first.
On the other hand, eminent counsel,
with wide experience in railroad matters,
take the view that the chances are strong
against the securities company and that
| 1t is likely to be beaten at every point.
1t is evident, therefore, that much un-
certainty exists on the point as lawyers
view it at this time. The defendants
| brief Is not expected to be filed until the
| last moment allowed by the court.
Colorado s. Southern.
| The first definite explanation Of the re-
cent activity and strength of the stocks
of the Colorado & Southern Railway COM
pany was secured yesterday, when an au-
thorltative statement was made that Ed
! win Hawley and associates has secured a
controlling interest in the property. This
control was secured through purchases in
the open market. The entrance of Haw-
ley and associates into the: management
| OF the Minneapolis & st. Louis has been
followed by the rapid development and
improvement of that property, the re-
suits of which are already being shown.
1t is believed that Hawley intends to
operate and develop the Colorado &,
! Southern along the sane lines the Min
neapolis & St. Louis fias been handled.
| OF course the possibility of some large
southwestern systems making bid for
| the Colorado & Southern is to- be con-
sidered, but, at present it is understood
that the new owners are acting for them
selves and not for any other interest.

At dusk on the evening of March 20. the

Vaal river and travelled rapidly all night, and
at dawn March 81 occupied positions along the
line from Commando drift to the Lchtenberg
bockhouse line. The troops moved rapidly
eastward, keeping continuous line with
the object of driving the enemy against the
blockhouses or forcing an action. Kekewich s
column captured three t1fteen-pounders, two
pompoms, nine prisoners and 100 mules, carts
and wagons General w. Kitchener's column
captured eighty-nne prisoners. forty-ive
carts and wagons and 1 900 cattle. The troops
covered eighty miles in twenty-four hours.
The total number OF prisoners is 1856.
General Delarey appears to have sue
cessfully eyaded Lord Kitchener's Gordon

More Canadian Troops.

Ottawa, Ont, March 26.-The rumors in re-
gard to the possibility of another Canadian
contingent going to South Africa have crys-
tallized into the statement that the imperial
authorities have asked for a mounted force
of 1000 men. From what can be learned the
imperial government has suggested that the
force should be equipped and transported al
its own expense. The application will doubt
less be acceded to, which would bring Cana
da's contribution Of troops up to total Of
1000 men.

WHAT HE DID

Memorable Career of "the Evil
Genius of South Africa"
Cecil Rhodes was born at Herts, England,
July s, 1858, the fourth son of Rev. Francis
w. Rhodes, vicar of Bishop Stanford. He
was educated at Oxford, and made two visits
to South Africa while vet a student. "Chi-
nese" Gordon helped to develop Mr.. Rhodes,
they being warm friends. They met first in
1881 in Basutoland, South Africa, when Mr.
Rhodes, then a newly elected member for
Barkly West in the Cape Colony legislative
assembly-a constituency which continued his
through Ife-was serving in the compensation
commission. When General Gordon went to
khartoum he asked Mr.. Rhodes to accompany
him. The young legislator declined and &C.
