PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF CARS

| Chicago, Oct. 10.-What is regard
cd as one Of the most important Sos
sions Of the Interstate Commerce
| Commission this year was had here
today. The feature of the meeting
was an inquiry into relations Of pri
vate car companies and railroad com
panies and the effect on trade.
j. w. Midgcley was the principal wit
ness. He declared that the system OF
private ownership of cars had the
railroad companies firmly in its
grasp" and was "one of the greatest
powers ever known
Asked for solution of the diff
Guilty, Mr.. Mid2eley suggested a per
diem system.
put refrigerator cars on a per
diem basis of fifty cents for so much
weight" said he, stock cars on a
80 cents basis and other cars on a
20 cents basis"
STILES Competition.
Mr.. Midgeley's testimony tended to
show that by a comprehensive syS-
TEN of rebates and commissions
transportation of many Of the princi-
pal commodities of commerce is al
most wholly within the grasp of the
private car" companies, who are able
to regulate rules and prices to a de-
gree that practically STILES competi-
ton. p :
at is all question of traffic" said
Mr. Midgeley, land do not mean TO
reflect in any way upon traffic my1-
ayers of our railways, any traffic man
ager who does not get business will
lose his position. He simply has to
get it and he can get it only by meet
ing the terms of his competitors.
There are inferior railways. just as
there are inferior men and as soon
as n struggling line starving for bust
ness. begins 10 diclier with the ehip-
ping combines. the competing roads

Tough on the Roads.
Mr.. Midgelcy admitted that it was
because the railways have $500. 600
200 invested in freight cars of their |
own which are in danger of falling
into decay and uscless because Of |
he growth Of the private car" sys-

DESTROY RIVER LEFTY
Moro Than 300 Feet of New Work
 at Astoria Washed Away

Astoria, Ore.- Monster breakers rolling up from the southwest carried away about twenty bents of the Columbia river ietty. Examination of the jetty is made twice daily and the damage was not discovered when the midday examination was paid. The portion of the ietty swept away was about 32O feet in length and located short distance from the outer end of the breakwater. It was part of new work, having been put in last sum- mer. When the damage occurred a severe gale was prevailing outside and at the end of the jetty the gale howled along at the rate of fully eighty miles an hour, driving up immense breakers from the southwest. The statement was made that the damage done is not very great. An estimaet of the money loss sustained could not be secured.

FRENCH VESSEL MEASURED Government Has Been Losing Tolls
 on Craft at San Francisco

San rancisco-Investigat by the deputy surveyor of this port in meas uring the French vessels in the harbor has shown that all the ships have been under measured and the government has thereby been cheated out of it's just dues in pilot fees and dockage and custom tolls. In the case of several French ships it has been found that their tonnage has been under estimated by several hundred tons.
 This government has in the past permitted French vessels to register their tonnage according to their own measurements, but recent order has been received from Washington by which French ships are to be placed on the same basis of measurement as the American vessels. The ten vessels flying the French flag have been measured and in every instance it has been found that the net tonnage has been increased under the laws of this country.

Battle Fought Recently Near San

Buenos Ayres, Argentine, ,-Advices received here from Montevideo, Uru- quay, say it is officially admitted that 1900 government troops operating against the insurgents, have met with disaster at San Ramona. The revolu- ionists captured the ammunition of General Muniz, the commander of the Uruguayan troops, though Muniz saved his guns. Two regiments of national guards at Montevideo have been disbanded because of their mutinous conduct. The Uruguayan government has called troops from the country districts, as the situation at Montevideo is serious.

Santo Domngo-The troops under the command of the rebel general, Rodriguez, arrived at Pajarito Thurs day night from San Pedro de Macoris.
 Fighting at once commenced and lasted during the night and was con- tinued Friday. A general attack is expected. The town of San Carlos, which has been captured by the in- surgents, was set aiire. The United States cruiser Columbia at the request of the German consul at Santa Bar bara de Samana landed marines at a point on the beach outside the town to protect German interests.

that dam will be constructed across the Colorado river.
 Government engineers some time ago located damsites above Needles, on the Lower Colorado, for the irriga- tion of country in California and Ari- zona. The first efforts to find dam site were fruitless and it was necessary to amend the plans. But in soundings in the bed of the river have disclosed granite formation extending entirely across the Colorado near enough to the surface to make the building of dam feasible. A corps of engineers were working for the irrigation bureau and were about to begin topographic map of the entire Colorado desert, and were then on the ground. Until this survey is completed it will not. be possible to say how great an area can be irrigated from the newly discov- cred damsite, nor how great will be the cost of construction.

LESSON TO TURKISH RULER
American Ships to Make Ia Greater
 Demonstration

Washington-Orders have been given the European squadron, composed of the Brooklyn at Alexandria; the San Francisco, at Beirut; the Macchias, on her way to Port Said, and the collier Alexander, at Alexandria, to sail for Culebra to join in the con- bined naval maneuvers about to ensue.
 It is stated in official circles that this withdrawal of the fleet from Tur- kish waters is but temporary and that at the close of the the maneuvers it will return strongly reinforced and prepared to make a more vigorous demonstration.
 There has been some evidence of late that the presence of these American warships in Turkish waters was never relished by the Turkish government, but the reason assigned for the with drawal is said to be the desire to make the maneuvers as impressive as possi- ble and that it is not caused by any request from the Turkish government.

AMERICA ENDS OCCUPATION
FLAG LOWERED FROM CABANIS
 FORT IN CUBA
Taoops Leave the Republic Tribute to the Dsliverers From Cruel Yoke Vel Received

Havana-The last vestige of the American occupation of Cuba dis appeared when the American flag was lowered from the Cabanis fortress and the last battalion of American soldiers marched to the pier and boarded the United States army transport Sumner which sailed for Florida.
 The Sumner had brought the Seven teenth and Nineteenth companies of United States artillery from Santiago and these troops participated with the Twenty first and Twenty com panies, who have been stationed here, in the evacuation of Cabanis.
 President Palma and the members of his cabinet, General Rodriguez, commander of the Rural guards; United States Minister Squires and the members of the legation staff witnessed the ceremony of hauling down the American flag and hoisting the Cuban flag with the usual salutes.
 President Palma addressed Minister Squires and Major Brown, commander of the American troops, saying:
 "We are confronted by one of the most extraordinary facts recorded in the annals of universal history-the departure from our shores of the last troops the United States had kept in Cuba after helping us to secure oDr independence and the blessings of freedom. They could stay under any pretext whatever, or an unjust de- mand could be imposed upon us, but on the contrary the government of the United States, identified as it is, with the liEeral spirit and noble character of the American people, willingly proves its disinterestedness and sin cerity of the aid it rendered us by taking these men away and showing us at the same time that we have as an independent people the confidence of one of the most powerful nations on earth.
 "This act of the United States in withdrawing its troops from Cuban territory reflects upon it everlasting glory and makes sus proud of our selves, for it means that nobody doubts our ability to govern ourselves or to maintain peace and order, or to guarantee the rights of all the inhabi- tants of this island. This new consid- eration shown us, together with the services we have previously received at their hands, will bind the Cuban people to the American people for ever in strong tie of sincere grati- tude.'
 Major Brown replied to President Palma and thanked him for his kind ness to the American officers and soldiers.
 There were many more American spectators present than Cubans and the only diplomat besides MT. Squires to witness the departure of the Amer jeans was the Chinese minister, who was accompanied by his staff. The British minister sent his regrets.
