refuse to adopt any part or portion Of the
opinion: but that, on the contrary. he had
forwarded the full opinion without COM
ment or criticism to the Secretary of War
The ofncials of the Office of the assistant
attorney general for the Post Office Depart
ment believe they have been placed in q
very bad light by the action of the person
or persons who gave out the statement re-
garding the opinion. and desire to be
have press copies of all the correspondence
in the premises. including copies Of the let
ter of the Postmaster General in transmit
ting the opinion to the Secretary of War.

REQUIRED TO ANSWER.
Trunk Railway Lines Made Respon
dents In Proceedings.

The interstate commerce commission to-
day made a number of trunk railway lines
respondents IN proceedings involving the
legality of their local rates on grain and
grain products. ard, In the case of two of
the roads. the class and commodity rates.
and issued an order requiring the roads to
file answers by May 1.
In the case Of the Chicago and North
western. Chicago, Burlington and Quincy.
Chicago Great Western. Chicago. Mil
waukee and st. Paul. Wabash and the
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific. the COM
mission says 1t appears that these lines
made large advances in rates between Mis-
souri, river points and st. Louis. other Mis-
sissippi river points, Chicago and inter
mediate destinations. during the last half
of 1902 on grain and grain products orig
mating west Of the Missouri: that such ad
vances operated to increase total rates on
such traffic from points west of the Mis-
souri, river to Chicago and the other points,
and that high local charges between these
various points have been and are kept In
force by such carriers.
In the case Of the Missouri. Kansas and
Texas and the st. Louis and San Francisco.
the commission says II appears that these
roads put in effect class rates between st.
Louis and Texas common points consider
ably higher than those in force on like traf-
fic at any time since the operation Of the
interstate commerce law in 1887, except
classes D and e. upon which rates are. re-
spectively. one cent higher and one cent
lower and slightly lower than ON November
90 1889. but three cents higher than on De-
cember 4, 1893.
1t also appears to the commission that
many special or commodity rates were also
increased about the same time, and that
rates to Texas common points from numer-
Gus territories, including practically all sec
lions east Of the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers. have been also materially increased
by these advances in the rates from st.
Louis. and that these advances may be
unreasonable and otherwise in violation OF
the law. Investigations of the legality of
these rates Is, therefore, ordered, and fol-
lowing the filing of the answer a hearing
will be arranged. at which representatives
Of the various roads will be required to at

MR.. CLEVELAND ANGRY.
His Trsatmsnt Of Newspaper Cores
pondant.


A Washington correspondent. who recent
iy visited former President Grover Cleve-
hand At hts home in Princeton. N. J., re-
ports the following experience and dialogue
In an attempt to secure an interview with
Nr. Cleveland:
Driving through the spacious grounds to
the residence the correspondent was shown
to the reception room, where he waited for
twenty minutes after his card had been
presented to Mr.. Cleveland. The bulky
form of the former President suddenly
doomed up In the doorway. and the latter
had no more than reached the threshold
until he abruptly asked: We'll, what Is tt?''
Il have been sent by my newspaper to
inquire about your reported tour of the far
west" said the correspondent.
Mr.. Cleveland at once grew mad to the
core, and he answered in the loudest tones:
Il am to make no such trip. It Is lie. l
am going to st. Louis to the dedication Of
the fair. and after that IL over will taae
the most direct route back home"
Well" said the correspondent. I'VE
would certainly be glad to set you right be-
fore the public. That is what came here
You can II you want to-" grunted the ex-
President.
The correspondent then asked: what do
you think Of the enormous appropriations
session of COngress?"
II don't know anything about it," was the
answer in loud voice. Mr.. Cleveland appar-
emily still angry.
What do you think of Admiral Dewey's
idea that the President in these days should
be a young and strenuous man? persisted
the correspondent. in nowise taken back
by the temper of the former President
Il don't know anything about it," was
again the response, in loud tones.
What do you think Of the chances for
democratic success IN 1904, Mr.. Cleveland?'
was the last question.
Il don't know. and I don't care" he
called at the top Of his voice. Il am busy
with my own personal affairs. and I don't
want to be bothered with such matters"
Then he turned ON his heels and left the
correspondent in sole possession of the re-
ception room. The last glimpse Of him
was when his coat tails disappeared
through a doorway at the far end of the
hail. pen still in hand, the former President
having come out Of his library with a pen
in his hand
The newspaper man, one of the most sue
cessfuf fntervfewers In the country. left the
building, wondering about Mr.. Cleveland
and his moods, and keenly feeling his curt
reception.

PUBLIC CRITICISM ToRBIDDEH.
The Presidents Order to Diplomatic
and Consular o6iceYa.

An interesting feature of tho diplomatic
correspondence for 1902. Just Issued by the
State Department. Is the publication Of an
order issued by President Roosevelt forbid
ding diplomatic and consular officers from
making comments In the press or In any
other public manner rejecting ON the diplo-
matte and consular representatives of their
own or other countries. The order was
presumably based on the freedom with
which some United States Representatives
abroad have aired In the newspapers their
troubles with superfors and subordinates.
The order says that hereafter no officer OF
the diplomatic or consular service of the
United States shall attack or prefer
charges against or publicly criticise any
other officer In either service. except In q
confidential communication to tho Depart
Ment of State"
