Before Interstate Commerce
Commission.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-A. G. Bird
third vice-president of the st. Pau
railroad took bold stand before the
interstate commerce commission today
when that body began an investigation
into the rates on cattle and packing

the Missouri river.
"Not only are our livestock rates
unreasonable, but all our freight rates
are unreasonable because they are en-
tirely too low to compensate for the
service rendered. All freight rates
should be raised"
Bird deemed it wise policy TO make
as low rate On raw material as on fin-
ished products, but that when the rate
on the latter. which WAS not remuner-
auye, was forced upon the roads, he
did not believe in lowering down the
livestock rates to maintain the relation

The Daily Telegraph dwells upon the
heneficent change which has come over
the relations OF the United States and
Great Britain with the result that
national feelings no longer have any
influence in the struggle,
In editorial articles the opinion is
unanimously expressed that President
Roosevelt largely owes his personal
triumph to having satisfactorily settled
the coal strike. that the future depends
on whether he leaders OF one party or
the other have a definite policy, and
that for the outside world the import
ant point is prospective reduction in
the tariff.
The Standard says the voting shows
President Roosevelt TO have COM
mandIng position In the confidence OF
his countrymen.
The Times. in its editorial articles,
expresses opinions similar to those
held by the other newspapers. II says.
President Roosevelt's influence is In
no way impaired by the warnings
which the republican reverses have
given the party. The predictions OF his
denomination for the presidency IN
1904 may be rash. but 1t undoubtedly
