SOUTHWESTERN FREIGHT RATES.
Little Rock Shippers Allege That
Charges Are Unreasonable.

The Merchants Freight Bureau of Little
Rock Ark, today filed with the interstate
commerce commission a complaint against
the st. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern;
ST. Louis. Southwestern and the Choctaw,
Oklahoma and Gulf railways, alleging that
carload rates on machinery recently agreed
on by those lines to take effect May IA are
unjust unwarranted and unreasonable. The
commission is asked to restrain the de-
fendant lines from putting into effect the
proposed advance.
The commission at once issued notice to
the defendants to file answer to the COM
plant within twenty days from date.
The complaint alleges that the rates on
machinery, carloads, classified not higher
than class A, now in effect from ST. Louis,
Cairo, Memphis ETC., to Little Rock, Ark,
and which have been in effect over three
years, are remunerative and Just to both
railroads and shippers. and that during
this period the gross and net earnings of
the lines have largely exceeded any pre-
vious year. and that there are no new or
existing conditions that will justify an in
crease in the present rate of from 35 to 50
per cent. The roads have given notice that
their Arkansas freight committee, taEiff
No. b. providing rates on cotton press3s,
cotton gins and cotton gin machinery,
straight or mixed carloads, from Little
Rock to Memphis and to New Orleans,

TO DIsARM FORT INDEPENDENCE
Obsolete Guns to Be Sold for Pig
Iron.

Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance has
taken steps for the disposal of the arma-
ment of Fort Independence on Castle Island
in the harbor of Boston. An act of Con-
gress, approved May Is, 1889, authorized
the city of Boston, through the park COM
missioners, Ito improve and beautify Cas-
tie Island, situated In said city and belong
ing to the United States" Fort Indepen-
dence was built in the early days of the
war of the rebellion and on it are still
mounted number of seacoast guns and
carriages of obsolete pattern. The arma-
ment consists of forty-four 10-inch Rodman
smooth bore guns and three S-inch muzzle
loading rifles, with their carriages These
batteries no longer form part of the system
of defenSes for Boston and the government
has no further use for them. 1t has been
therefore decided to put them on the market
and sell them to the highest bidder. This
action was not taken. however. until after
the park commissioners of Boston had been
consulted in the matter. The guns were
offered to them, but they said they had no
funds available for their purchase. They
will therefore be sold for pig iron and re-
moved from the reservation.
AS understood at the War Department
the government retains title to the island
and transfers 1t to the park commissioners
of Boston simply that they may improve
it for the benefit of the public The island
is connected with the shore by a bridge and
is easily accessible to the people. 1t is now
under the control Of an ordnance sergeant
who will be withdrawn as soon as the guns
have been disposed of.

RELIC OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.
Rear Admiral Melville Receives g
Priced Souvenir.

Rear Admiral Melville, chief of the bu-
reau of steam engineering, has received
from Medical Director Winslow, United
States navy GetireO, of New Bedford,
Mass, a pair Of musk OK horns and sheet
of copper about eighteen inches long and
nine inches wide. beaten into the shape of
an Eskimo lamp.
These articles are said to be relics of the
actic expedition of Sir John Franklin, who,
with his party, after abandoning his ships,
perished in the frozen north. The copper
is apparently part Of the sheathing Of a
ships hull, and the story told to Medical
Director Winslow is that it was given to a
New Bedford whaler who visited Cumber-
land sound by a party of Eskimos who
had been hunting far to the north and OBJ
tained the copper from an abandoned ship.

THE FINEST IN THE WORLD.
Gen. Corbin's High Praise Of the
American Soldier.

Maj. Gen. Corbin, who was chief marshal
of the big parade at the dedication of the
exposition buildings at st. Louis, has re-
turned to this city and resumed his official
duties at the War Department. He con-
firms the report that he was bitten in the
leg by a small dog while crossing a field,
but says that thanks to prompt treatment
he escaped all serious consequences. The
wound was cauterized and has now almost
entirely healed.
Gen. Corbin is enthusiastic over the con-
duct and appearance of the United States
troops, regulars, the militia which took
part in the dedicatory ceremonies, and he
summed up his opinion in the declaration
that 1.-THE American soldier today is un-
doubtedly the finest soldier in the world -
This is high praise, when it is considered
that Gen. Corbin has only recently inspect
ed the cream of the armies of Germany,
France and England under the most favor
able circumstances.

Danger of the Arkansas Running
Aground in the Mississippi.

In order to avoid being detained in the
Mississippi river on account Of shoal water
the monitor Arkansas. which was sent to
ST. Louis to represent the navy during the
exposition dedicatory ceremonies, left st.
Louis yesterday for New Orleans.
Now the river is falling so rapidly from
the high water occasioned by the spring
freshets that it is thought there will be
grave danger of the monitor which draws
121a feet of water, going aground. The ne
cessity for quick return to the deeper
waters of the lower river will disappoint
hundreds of residents of river towns from
whom Commander Vreeland, commanding
the Arkansas. has received requests to stop
1t is stated at the department that no anx-
iety is felt regarding the trip of the Arkan-
sas down the Mississippi The vessel will
make twice the time down stream, and re-
ports received at the department show the
depth of the river entirely sufficient for the
monitor.

DECIDES TO ACCEPT
MIR. MACFARLAND YIELDS TO
PUBLIC OPINION.
Will Continue in Service Of the Dis
trict-Second Term as Com
missioner.

IT have decided to continue in the service
of the District. The appeal to me to do so
was practically irresistible"
In this simple announcement Commission
er Henry B. F. Macfarland today settled
all doubts as to his acceptance of the Sec
ond term to which he was appointed In
February last by President Roosevelt Mr.
Macfarland's determination to remain In
office was most gratifying to his associates
of the District board and to all the officials
of the local government. That 1t Is also
gratifying to the people must be surmlseo
from the large number of letters and per-
sonal messages the Commissioner has re-
ceived since it became known that he was
considering a retirement from the District
service with the expiration Of his first term.
The circular letter which Mr.. Macfariano
received Saturday night from the most In
f1uential residents of the District was IN
itself an assurance that the community was
anxious that he should continue to serve
under his new commission, and would feel
loss and disappointment II he should re-
fuse to do so.
Had Great Weight.
The sincerity of the communications and
messages received by him had great
weight in reaching the decision which Mr..
afternoon and evening and all day Sunday
and yesterday the Commissioner was in re-
ceipt of numerous letters and notes and
personal calls. This morning at his Office
in the District building he was kept busy
for several hours with his numerous call
erS.
Representative ]. w. Babcock, chairman
of the House District committee. was one
of the callers shortly before noon. He came
to express the hope that Mr.. Macfarland
would see his way clear to serve another
term, at least, and was much grati1ed when
the Commissioner told him of his decision.
Mr.. Macfarland said today that he would
answer personally all the letters received
by him during the past three days, and
would also write individually to the signers
of the circular letter.
Will Take the Oath Saturday.
Although his first commission, the one
signed by President Mckinley, expires to-
day, Mr.. Macfarland will not be sworn in
anew until next Saturday morning, the 9th
instant The Mckinley commission became
effective May g. 1900 but Mr.. Macfarland
did not take the oath of Office until May 8.
1t was his desire that he should again be
1naugurated on the anniversary Of that
day The ceremony Of swearing in a Com
missioner is very simple one. The oath
to uphold the Constitution and to faith
fully perform the duties of the office is ad-
ministered by DR.. William Tindall, secre-
tary to the board.
When Mr.. Macfarland takes the oath
next Saturday morning at II o'clock there

A FIN NCIAL BILL
SENATORS MEETING AT hot
SPRINGS TODAY.
Plan of Proposed Legislation Expected
to Commend Itself to Both
Houses of Congress.

subcommittee of the Senate finance
committee is meeting at Hot Springs, Va,
today, the sessions to continue for week
or more to prepare the framework of a pro-
posed financial bill to be pushed by the re
publicans of the Senate and House at the
contemplated extra session of Congress to
be called this fall. ...-..-
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, Senator
Allison of Iowa, Senator Platt of Connec-
ticut and Senator Spooner of Wisconsin
comprise the subcommittee engaged upon
this work. The authority for the under
taking was granted by a resolution reported
from the committee on finance in the clos
ing days of the last session and adopted
by the Senate.
Senator Spooner passed through Wash
ington last evening on his way to Hot
Springs and said that it was the idea of
the subcommittee that the plan of financial
legislation to be agreed upon at this meet
ing would commend itself to the republi-
cans of both houses of Congress and prob
ably be enacted into law at the eXtraordi-
nary session which the President has init
mated that he would call prior to the reg
ular meeting.
Wider Scope Than Aldrich Bill.
The bill which this subcommittee will
prepare will have wider scope than the AL
drich bill which failed of passage at the last
session. Inc AlQTlcn OIL was naStlly drawn
and designed to meet urgent and pressing
needs Of the moment. Democratic opposi-
tion to that measure prevented its passage,
and the republicans who were advocating
it concluded that If they had to take anoth-
er bite at the cherry they might as well
frame general financial bill covering cur
rency and banking features, and the Ques-
ton of money stringency.
1t is with this idea in view that the pres
ent meeting is being held. 1t is well known,
of course, that there is divergence of opin-
ion between the republicans of the House
and the Senate the financial question.
The problem for the members of the
Senate subcommittee to solve will be
to prepare a bill carrying out their
own ideas, which the senators will
insist upon being Incorporated into what
ever legislation that passes, and at the same
time recognizing the currency reform ideas
of the House.
The extraordinary session of Congress to
be called in the fall will primarily be for
the consummatton of Cuban legislation, but
the senators think that while the House is
wrangling over Cuban reciprocity the Sen
ate might as well devote itself to these
financial questions
