Admit Unlformity of Rates.

Answers of the Lehigh Valley Rail
road Company, the Delaware and Hud-
son Company, the Erie Railroad Com
pany and the New York, Susquehanna
and Western Railroad Company to
the complaint of W. R. Hearst of New
York, who charges discrimination on
the part OF the coal-carrying roads i'll
favor OF anthracite coal operators, were
received by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
In a a.general way the roads question
Mr.. Hearst's interest in the matter,
contending that he has not been injur-
ed, nor has he authority to present
his petition on behalf OF so-called in
dependent producers OF anthracite
There is no denial OF a Uniform sched-
ulc of rates, but it is contended that
any uniformity OF rates for anthracite
coal transportation by the various car
riers has been the natural and in
eyitable result of competitive conditions,
which require in the case OF anthracite
coal, as with other commodities, that
traffic of the same character from the
same or competing localities be car
ried at substantially the same rates by
competing carriers"

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Ridiculous Farm. Area Statistics.

The Census Bureau is keenly alive to
the importance of the serious charges
OF gross inaccuracy of its statistical re-
ports made by an investigating COM
mittee of the National Board of Trade,
Mr. Hart Mommsen, the expert chief of
the division of agriculture of the bureau,
promises an elaborate report in answer
to the disclosures made bv the Board
OF Trade, but he contents himself for
the present with the following state
ment:
his apparent variance between the
census figures and the areas of the
counties indicated requires a detailed ex-
PLANTATION which cannot be made in a
few words. 1t is due chiefly to error
on the part of the farmowners and op-
orators, and not to the inaccuracy in
the Census Bureau.
Many farms are of such extent--as
IN Il eNas, for example, where single op-
orators work half a county each-that
accurate statements as to the property
owned are impossible to get Many
farms overlap from the county to an
other and are reported to the enumer-
ators IN both counties.
Many other difficulties arise in the
course OF such an enumeration as this,
Wnich cannot be so easily set forth"

he number of disasters to vessels
within the scope of the operations of the
service during the last year was greater
than ever before, with the exception of
the years 1893 and 1901, yet the loss of
iife was very small. The number of lives
lost from documented vessels-those of
hye tons burden or over-was only 10,
while o were lost from smaller craft
sailboats, rowboats, etc-nalling total
OF IS, number far below the average.
The amount of property imperiled
was greatly in excess of that of any
previous year in the history of the SER
vice, owing to the unusual number Of
large vessels involved No less than s4
vessels, of over 1000 tons burden---oi
which number 80 were steamers-sut-
tered disaster The loss of property,

GREAT DOCK FIRE.
Wisconsin Central Railroad Property Valued
at Over Half a Million Dollars Destroyed.

Ashland, Wis. (SpeciaD The Wis
consin Central Railroad ore dock was
destroyed by fire, the loss involved be-
ing about $52s,ooo, In falling the dock
carried with it a number of iremen and
docSmen, and several lives were lost
Just how many probably will not be
known for several days. Several badly
injured fremen were rescued from the
burning ruins, one OF them with both
legs broken.
The fire started, presumably, from
a boat unloading lumber across the
slip, and before the 6remen arrived the
entire ore dock, hall a mile long, was
in flames. An engine was run on the
tramway as near to the fire as possible
and half a hundred men began tearing
apart the timbers connecting the tram
way and the dock to keep it from fall
ing with the dock. Suddenly the dock
gave way, falling with a crash and car
rying with it 200 feet of the tramway
the engine just barely escaping the fall
into the bay.
Several hundred people were under
the tramway; but most OF them escap.s
ed with slight injuries. As the broken
tramway and the burning dock fell at
least a dozen men were seen to &C
down into the ruins. The wreck fell
into 20 feet OF water, and it will be inn
possible to recover the bodies ioi
sometime. A large force of men is en-
gagged in an effort TO recover the re.
nanS OF the dead firemen.

DIED A NATURAL DEATH.
Herr Krupp Crushed by the Attacks Of n
Socialist Paper.

Berlin by Cable) The first assump-
tion that Herr Krupp, the great gum
maker, whose death was recorded Sat-
urday, committed suicide is yielding to
precise and abundant testimony to the
contrary. Professor Binswanger, a
physician of the highest reputation, was
in the apartment adjoining Herr
Krupp's sleeping room when he was
stricken on Saturday morning, and DIR.
Pahl, Herr Krupp's family doctor, also
was in the house They summoned
several other physicians, and it is re-
garded as being beyond belief that all
of them should have connived at a con-
cealment OF the cause of death, which
they ascribe to a stroke of apoplexy. in
duced, they add unofficially, by mental
excitement from which Herr Krupp was
suffering
Herr Krupp's medical history for sew
eral years past indicates that he was in
delicate health. He was asthmatic, had
a weak heart, and was subject to faint
ing spells He fell to the ground un-
conscious while in Genoa several years
ago and again at dinner in a hotel here
10 months ago. He had been warned
to avoid over-fatigue and worry. He
was at Hamburg Thursday last, and at
the Hamburger Hof it was observed
that he was in highly nervous cond-
ton, and scarcely in control of himself.

OF two physicians in the house at the
time of his death, one of them being

mended the establishment of a single
coaling station. His objection to the
expansion o, the coaling- station system

that II IS an unnecessary expense, and
that It is not judicious move to es-
tablish such a station, for instance, in
the China sea, which will be of no par
ticular convenience, except, possibly. in
time of war.
