ton OF various viands and tuneful music
ruled the hour when the Royal Order of
Scotland last night gave its banquet.
The brilliant gathering in the pink ball
room of the New Willard was an event
commemorating the biennial meeting of
this Royal Masonic Order. and from the
opening march which brought the 2OO
assembled guests into the BANQUET
hall until the closing strains of "AuId
Lang syne" were played it was one of
the most auspicious functions of the sea-
e0n.
More than 200 guests. including the
members OF the Royal Order of Scotland
and their wives. were assembled to do
honor to the occasion. The tables were
arranged to form a gridlron. At the
side OF the banquet room was arranged
long elevated table at which were
0ated the chief dignitaries of the order
and their ladies. Ten other tables were
3enged at the right OF those elevated
and at them were seated the main body
OF the guests. The colors signifying the

Jerome's Chances.

Mcclellan is the man New York wants
fo- mayor. Jerome is the man it wants
for district attorney. But that is no
positive assurance they will win.
Chances are all in favor of Mcclellan
and apparently all against Jerome
If Jerome should win. he would be
the big man in the big city of the En-
pire State. He would be the first man
to accomplish such a thing; to go out,
single e-handei, and defeat both parties.
he would be the man TO whom every
independent element would turn; he
would run for mayor at the next cleo
tion, If indeed he did not become CUB
ernatorial candidate of the Democracy

spectacle of latter-day politics. the fin

The Interstate Commerce Commission
is determined to bring to q close the
fight which involves Its right to regu-
late rates. which ii deems unfair to the
individual shippers of the country.
This action. the most important since
| the creation of the commission. was
commenced today by a hearing in the
offices of the commission in this city.
The railroads and private lines,
against which the batteries OF the
Interstate Commission are turned, may
be grouped as follows: Group No. l.
the Southern Railway, the Atlantic
Coast Line. the Seaboard Air Line the
Georgia Central. the Pennsylvania. and
the Armor Refrigerating Car Company.
Group No. 2-the Sante Fe Railroad.
and the Sante Fe Refrigerating Dis
patch Line. Group No. ESouthern
Pacific Railroad. and the ArmOr Com
pany- Group No. 5-the San Francisco
Railroad and the Armor Company.
Group No. 6-the Iron Mountain and
Southern Railroad and the American

vate car lines. and with that end in

The commission made charges some
time ago against the foregoing railroads
and private car lines, based on reliable
Information which had been placed in
stances certain shippers had been dis
tr1t tad S< L.
private car lines in question filed a
printed answer to the charges made by
the commission.
The railroads maintained that they
had no supervision over the rates
charged by the private car lines, while
the private car lines declared that they
did not come under the head of common
carriers and were not, therefore, amena-
bic to the powers OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Commission Goes Further.
The commission, not being satisfied
with the answers set forth by the rail-
roads and private car lines, arranged
for a hearing today. 1t is the intention
of the commission TO develop. If pos
sible. a case which will stand the re-
quirements of a test in court, and. if

Then. If the company toward which
the ruling is directed fails to comply
with the order, the Attorney General
will be asked to bring proceedings in

Chicago. April 22.-The Employ

afternoon to accept the proposal Of the
teamsters that all questions involved in

Mayor Dunno, and late this afternoon
the employers replied to the mayor
that they were, as they have been
from the first, willing to arbitrate any
thing connected with the strike of the

under no circumstances consent to ar
bitrate the strike Of the Garment
Workers, which was over four months
