Commissioner General Of immigration
Removed by the President,
Washington, March 1.-THE posi-.
tion of commissioner general of immi-
grafton has been rendered by the pres
ident to Frank P. Sargent, chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, to succeed T. v. Powderly, the
present incumbent.
It is understood that the reason for
the presidents action in desiring to
relieve Mr.. Powderly is because he
has not worked in harmony with the
higher officials Of the treasury depart
ment which has resulted in more or
less friction.
It also has been determined to relieve
Thomas Fitchie, commissioner at New
York. and his assistant, Edward F..
McSweeney. The changes, it Is said,
will take effect April 1, although it is
not given out who will succeed the two
latter officials.

HIS REQUEST DENIED.
General Miles viii Not Be Allowed
to Go to the PHILIPPINES,

0eneral NaleS Will mot Be Allowed
to Go to the Philippines.
Washington, March 17.-Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles of the army,
made specific request to the war de-
partment to be sent to the Philippine
islands, and in connection Herewith
submitted a plan by which, In his opin-
Ion, the war could be brought to an
end without further loss Of life to Ell
ther side. He proposed to employ
methods similar to those used by him
go successfully in his Indian cam
paigns. Secretary Root, after due con-
sideration, denied General Miles re-
quest and disapproved the plan submit
ted. The papers. SO indorsed by the
secretary, were sent to the White
House. and the president subsequent
ly concurred In the secretary's action.
The final Endorsement, disposing of the
matter, Is said to bear date March s,
1902. !
In effect President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root hold that the war in
the Philippines is already at an end,
or virtually SO, and that the adoption
of General Miles plan, involving q
change Of policy in dealing with the
Inhabitants of the archipelago, would
be unfair to those officials, military
and civil, whose work has brought
about almost complete pacification.

London, March l7.-The smallpox
epidemic In London shows no signs Of
abatement. In the thirty-three weeks
since the beginning of the outbreak
there have been 766 deaths. There
were eighty last week. which is more
than many preceding week During
the day forty-three fresh cases were
notified.
The failure toscheck the epidemic is
causing dfsquietude and arousins fears
that the success Of the coronation sea-
son may be affected and visitors kept
away from the capital. Tradesmer
and others, however, are more perturb-

Violation of the AAct To- Regulate
Commerce" and the Sherman: Anti.
Trust Law charsed-Railways Not
Expected to Make Any Serious o5.
lection as They Profess to Be OPP
posed to Rate Cutting. #
Chicago. March 1s. Injunction pro
ceedings will be started in Kansas
City by Attorney William Day Of the
interstate commerce commission
against the following ral.ways operat-
Ing between Kansas City, st. Louis
and Chicago: Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe. Chicago, Rock Island and Pa.
cific, Missouri Pacific. wabash rail-
road, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
Chicago Great Western. Chicago and
Alton. Chicago. Milwaukee and st.
Paul.
Officials Of these roads have been
furnished with a copy of the bill to be
sued for before Judge Phillips Of the
United States court at Kansas City.
The bill to be filed sets forth that
about March Is, the interstate COM
merce commission requested the Unit
ed States attorney general to direct
the district attorney to begin proceed
ings either by Injunction or by some
other method to prevent the Chicago
Kansas City railways from violating
the "Act to regulate commerce" The
attorney general at once directed the
bringing of the suit botn on the ground
that the matters complained Of are in
violation of the act to regulate COM
merce and in violation of the Sherman
act to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monop-
olies.
After setting forth that the accused
roads are common carriers and are
subject to the provisions of the inter-
state commerce. act, ,:zthe bill recites
that they have made schedules Of 2311a
cents per 100 pounds ON packing house
products from Kansas City to Chica-
go, this being until Jan. 10
The Only Lawful Rate. II
Then it is declared that the railways
involved secretly made rate OF 1917
cents, with corresponding reductions,
through to New York, and through un.
lawful combinations received large
quantities of packing house products
later rebating to certain shippers the
difference between the published rate
and the charge rate. Then the bill
sets forth the facts brought forth at
the examination before the Interstate
commerce commission in this city and
an Injunction supplemented by tenn
porary restraining order against the
defendants is asked for.
The general officers and general
counsel of some Of the roads had a
conference to decide on some course
of action. While no definite course of
action has been agreed on it is believ-
ed that no serious objections will be
offered to the Injunction. Most of the
larger railroad systems profess to be
opposed to rate cutting and in favor
of paying rates. They say they will
be the gamers If rates are maintained
as it is the small aud indirect lines
that are cutting rates to hold their
own against the big companies. and
that the latter are forced to meet the
cut rates. The same charges OF secret
rates and rebates are made in regard
to the grain shipments from Kansas
