FREIGHT RATE FIGURES.
An Example From a Newspaper at
Stockton.

The Stockton News gives an example Of
unreasonable and extortionate freight
rates which came home in a. very fOrcible
way TO a farmer of that region a few
days ago The farmer was J. 7. Paynter,
who lives near Alton, which Is Is miles
from Stockton MI Paynter Wanfed to
county fair and he had to ship them On
the railroad miles from Alton to Stock
ton. The freight rate was 80 cents hum
bred, and the weight of the hogs was b
coo pounds. This made the freight 80 each
way a total of SIS for shipping ten hogs
IS miles and back. Mr.. Paynter received
$50 so in prize money. so after paying the
freight on his hogs he had $3.50 TO spend
on his entry fees and other expenses.
The friends of A D. walker are urging
that the agitation which the State FEEDER
alton of Commercial interests is maxim
for better freight rates by electtng a good
railroad board and making some additions
to the railroad law, can not amount to
anything because nearly all freight rates
are interstate and can not be touched by
the state railroad board The Rocks cOun-
~ man, however. knows of at least one
instance in which the excessive rate was
not Interstate and over which the railroad
commissioners might exercise some con-
troll.

BATTLE AT AMsHAMsHAN.
Report Is That the jsps May BE Next
to Fall in a Trap.

Sin Min Tun, Aug. 9.-Chtnesa court
ers brought in n report today that Cen
era Oku'S army had come up with the
Russians and engaged them in battle
at Anshanshan, where they had re-
treated from Haicheng.
General Oku is said TO have nearly
$4,000 men, but the Russians are in q
strong position and in much greater
force.
No definite news of the fighting could
be learned. and 1t is considered rather
doubtful hat the Japanese should i'm
peril their chances by attacking a su-
perior force in q strong position unless
1t may be that General Modulus army is
in a position to support Genera Oku
by q flank movement against the Rus
slams. In the latter case 1t is likely
that this will be the beginning Of the
greatest and, probably, the last battle
Of the war.
1t has been rumored mere for some
days that General Kuropatkin has real
~ sent more than half of his army
from Haicheng by way of Pu Tai Tun
to Lilac Yang. and that the Japanese
may find themselves in n dangerous
trap If they proceed on the theory that
they have surrounded the entire force
at the disposal of the Russian COM
mander south of or at Lao Yang. This
m further says that a Russian
army of 100. 900 men is now ready to
move from Mukden and Hardin.
The Chinese regular troops are Oil the
watch for any sign of the Russians
crossing the Lao river and are pre-
pared to resent such an invasion of
their territory by either Japanese or
Russians.
