THROUGH RATES
ON THE SHORT LINE RAILROADS
FOR THE STATE PRO-
MULGATEE.
Arkansas Railroad Commission Makes
an order of Import
ance.

An order was made by the railrOat
commission of Arkansas Wednesday in
The matter of through passenger rates
over two or more lines of railroad for
the transportation OF passengers be-
tween points in Arkansas The order
requires each railroad in the state
where there is station to sell tick
cts to any other similar point on a
connecting line, and to check baggage
through on such tickets.
The order in no wise affects passen-
sas. Nor does it require such lines &c
go to the expense Of establishing addi
tiOnal stations. If short liae legally
charges cents per mile and a connect
ing road assesses cents per mile, the
passenger purchasing through ticket
is required to pay the sum of the To-
Gals The state laws already fix pas
Senger rates at a maximum of 3 cents
per mile on long lines. 5 cents per mile
on lines between Is and Is miles in
length, and s GEMS per mile on those
less than Is miles in length, provided
that the minimum charge for passage
shall be 25 cents.
Great uneasiness has been manifest
ed by the short lines in Arkansas lest
the commission reduce their passenger
rates to 3 cents per mile and require
them, in addition. to build depots and
maintain ticket agents along their
routes. AS rule the short lines can
not afford such an expense and the
custom is for passengers to pay fare
to the conductors on those roads. 1t
will be seen, however. that the action
of the commission yesterday involves a
radical change beyond requiring that
where stations are already established
through tickets shall be sold to pGints
on connecting lines within the state
at the sum of the locals: in other wor Is
the existing rates shall prevail
The commission is acting under the
act of 1903, section 8 of which says:
Section 5 That in all cases where
there is by physical connection Of rail
roads continuous line of railway COM
munication between railroad stations
within the state whether such stations
be on railroads operated by one and
the same company or corporation Or on
railroads operated by different and in
dependent companies or corporatins, it
shall be the duty of the railroad com
mission of this state, to and from sucn
stations, to make just and reasonable
rates of freight express and passenger
traffic, to be observed by all persons,
companies or corporations operating
any railroad or engaged in transporting
persons or property as express or
freight in this state.'
No complaints have been lodged with
the commission it is stated. with ref
erence to present passenger rates on
the short lines in the state

THE INSIDE FACTS.
OF AneEo-Gernaa Coalition in Vene-

OF AngEo-Germaa Coalition in Vene-
zuelan Blockade.
New York. Jan. 2l.-The comment is
sometimes made that the British gov
ernment would not have surrendered
independence of action in the Nene-
zuelan affair if Mr. Chamberlain had
been fully consulted says Tribune
London dispatch.
The most creditable explanation of
the Anglo-German coalition is that
it was a substitute for the details of
the secret partnership in East Africa.
which the ministers We're not prepared
to reveal. 1t seemed a safe under
taking. for the Washington govern
ment had not objected to the collec-
ton of the German debts under care
fully defined restrictions, and could
not reasonably discriminate against
England. Nobody outside the foreign
Office supposes that the Washington
government considered Great
Britains agreement to as
SiSt in collecting GermanyS
claims against Venezuela a friendly
act or that the continuance of wanton
acts of provocation by the German
fleet, like the attack upon the San
Carlos fortification is consistent with
British traditions of pacfc diplomacy.
1t is considered highly probable that
the German attack upon the fortress
of San Carlos will not only prolong
the Venezuelan situation, but make it
more acute. The Daily Chronicle
says that whatever the real facts OF
the incident may be there can be no
doubt that the success of the neso-
tiations are seriously imperiled.
