To Put Million Men In Field.
Toxic, April 12.-Japan Is meeting
the Russian plan of reorganization and
reinforcement of it's Manchurian armies
with an extensive expedition from Its
own military organization. The de-
tails and figures are carefully concealed
of what seems to be plan to double
the present army units, but it Is reliabl,
/ estimated that by autumn next the tota
military organization will exceed
100000 men actually employed in thu
field. The fighting force is roughly es
ticated at 100000 men, with increases
largely in the infantry and artillery
although an enlargement in the cav
airy branch Is also contemplated.
AS a result of the manufacture a
the arsenals in Japan together with cap
lures and purchases of guns, it is pre-
dicted that this year Will see Japan
ese artillery superior to that OF TIL
Russian in quality as we'll as numer
ically, and 1t is confidently believed tina
the Russians will be incapable of over
coming these numerical disadvantages
Wherever railway improvements ar
possible, they will be carried out, whel
Japan will be sufficiently strong to TAX
and hold Hardin and Simultaneous
continue operations against the Russia
forces to the eastward Of that city.

COMMISSION AROUSED OVER
WHITEWASHING OF MORTON
Members Of Interstate Commerce Board Crtisze President
Sharply and Relate Some History Of
Santa Fe Case,

how the system was worked These con-
LESSONS we're made In the fall OF 1901.
The commissioners say also that the
President was misinformed when he
put tho case Of the Sante Te
and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company on the same footing With
that OF the International Harvester Com
3pany. In the latter case the Western
railroads including tho Burlington. North
western. Rock Island, Wisconsin Central
and Chicago Great Western. returned a
certain percentage OF the freight pay
ments TO tho Harvester Company In con-
sIderation Of the fact that It owned It's
own switching tracks at Chicago. These
payments we're not denied, the railroads
claiming that they were legitimate. The
Interstate Commerce Commission held
that they were excessive and constituted
In effect rebate. When tho general In
junction against the payment OF rebates
was Issued the Harvester case was i1-
cluded, though 1t was not specifically
mentioned. The roads interested have
complied with the injunction, but have
allowed tho Harvester Company a rebate
OF $3.50 a car, which tho commission fixed
as a reasonable allowance.
In tho case in wiscis Mr. Morton Is
Interested the Sante re published a
freight tariff on coal OF H.05 a. ton. by
q secret arrangement, this included the
price OF the coal. $1.55 a ton. which was
related to the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company. The injunction which was Is
sued against rebatlng was aimed at this
