DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED.
Charges Against B. and o. Brought by
City Gas Company of Norfolk.

Charges of discrimina ton by the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad against Norfolk,
Newport News and Hampton Roads are
made in a petition filed today with the in
terstate commerce commission by the City
Gas Company Of Norfolk. The complainant
in it's petition says 1t Is engaged in the
manufacture of gas, shipping coal for use
in that business from mines in other states
to Norfolk, particularly from mines in
Pennsylvania. Maryland and Virginia. 1t
is alleged that the railroad is charging ex-
cessive rates on coal shipments to the
points mentioned in favor of other locali
ties.
During the past two years complainant
has made numerous shipments of coal, ag-
gregating many hundred tons, to Baltimore
over the defendant line from the mining
districts, shipping the coal by vessel from
Baltimore to Norfolk. upon which COM
plainant says it was compelled by the de-
fendant to pay excessive and unreason-
able rates. as Norfolk is point inside the
capes, by reason of which unjust rates the
gas company alleges it has suffered much
loss and damage, for which reparation is
claimed.

THE PRESIDENTS u7TERANcEs.
Boosting and clustering" Prepared in
Speech Ten Days Ago.

In The Star yeste -day there, was pub
lished an article headed "a Rebuke to
Dewey" in which it vas stated to be the
opinion of many that the use of the terms
''boasting and blustering' by the President
in his Chicago speech on the Monroe Doc
trine was intended as a rebuke to that
officer, who had criticised in a compare
tive fashion the German navy. 1t is now
learned that this Chicago speech. including
the language above quoted was prepared
by the President more than ten days in
advance of the publication of the criticism
referred to, and that the speech was sub
mitied to members of his cabinet who gave
it their full approval, also in advance of
the utterance of the criticisms which have
been supposed to have called 1t forth.
