TAFT AS APOSTLE
OF RATE REFORM
He May Take Stump in Ohio in
Support Of Roosevelt's
Policy.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Sept. 27-There is
possibility that President Roosevelt will
request Secretary Taft to make sew
eral speeches in the Ohio state cam
again the presidents railroad-rate poll
icy. The request, if made, will come
as the result of Senator Foraker re-
cent speech, in which it was disclosed
that Mr.. Foraker did not agree with
the president on the vital point in
volved in the railroad-rate question,
namely, an increase of power for the
Interstate commerce commission, en-
abling it to name rate in the place
of one found to be unreasonable, and
have the new rate 20 into effect at
once.
Where Opposing Forces Agree.
There is absolutely no difference Of
opinion between the president and the
regulating private car lines, eliminating
midnight tariff" terminal elevator
and terminal switching charges, ETC.,
and there will be legislation next win-
ter along those lines without opposi-
ton. The real question at issue is tho
increase of power for the Interstate
commerce commission, and when he says
he does not favor such an increase,
Senator Foraker lines himself up with
Senator Elkins, chairman Of the sem
ate committee ON Interstate commerce,
and the railroad interests generally. 1t
has long been known in Washington
that this was Senator Foraker s posi-
tion, and his temerity in statirk that
position publicly has revived eterest
in the rate situation, and emphasized
the point Of difference between the
railroads and the president. ~
Secretary Taft was the spokesman
of the president once before on this
question, when Secretary Paul Morton,
during the presidents hunt, in Colora-
do in May, made an address to the in
ternational railway congress, in session
in this city, in which. he pretended to
state the executive position, but came
no nearer to it. than Senator. Foraker
has just done. In fact, Morton and
Foraker occupy similar ground.
Not a Compromise.
No doubt the railroad interests will
try to make it appear that they have
made concession in consenting to the
regulation Of private cars, ETC., and
will offer that concession as the basis
of the compromise referred to in the
Foraker speech. But the public should
not be misled by such an offer. The
railroads are as much opposed to these
things as the president for thru them
they have been bilked for years. This
fact makes it impossible that these
points should be made the basis Of any
compromise which the president can
accept. It is believed here that Secre-
tary Taft will make this point clear
should he go into the Ohio campaign.

YERKES MAY GET
SHAW'S POSITION
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Regarded as Likely to Get
Treasury Portfolio.
BY w. w. Jermane,

& Washington, Sept. p. The announce
sment that Secretary Shaw will retire
from the cabinet next February has
created no stir in Washington, for this
ydate was fixed for his retirement more
than a year ago and announced in the
kpress at that time The secretary will
return to Denison, Iowa, to practice
tlaw and open his campaign for the
presidential nomination. -,.
Nothing is known here regarding his
Successor. At one time it was believed
Ethe president might appoint Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou, but disclosures
regarding campaign contributions by
New York insurance companies are be-
ylieved to have made Cortelyou an i'm
possibility. Secretary Shaw himself is
quoted as saying that it will be some
new man. Gossip is concerning itself
with John W. Yerkes, commissioner Of
iinternal revenue, who is, perhaps, the
most popular southern republican in
Washington, and every way fitted for
the treasury portfolio. The president
may give him the place in furtherance
fof his policy Of considering the south.

Allegheny Wants Steel King to
Pay Tribute on 100000
" Presents to City.
New York Sun Special Service.

Allegheny, Pa, Sept. 27-This city,
which is indebted to Henry Phipps, the
steel king, for Fairgrounds, free baths
and gymnasiums to the amount of al
most $1,000,000. is threatened with the
entire loss of these privileges. Mr..
Phipps has risen in his anger and given
his word that unless the city fathers re-
cede from their position that he must
pay taxes on the properties, the use of
which he gave to the people Of his
childhood home, he will take back his
present and instead of little parks and
other public pleasure grounds will erect
business blocks.
This announcement follows the sur
prising discovery that the property
which Mr.. Phipps has lent to the city
for health and educational purposes has
been levied on for taxes and advertised
for sale. Mr.. Phipps has just been
made acquainted with this fact and has
expressed his displeasure strongly.
The amount of taxes marked up
against the Phipps Fairgrounds, Phipps
baths and Phipps gymnasium, is 81, 1885,
rs. -
Mr.. Phipps says that if he is COM
PEELED to pay his money he will close
the free baths, will build business
houses and in general will withdraw his
favor from city whose rulers, he says,
do not appear to appreciate kindness.

WILL DWARF COAL

Impending Struggle of Mine
I Workers and Operators to

New York Sun Special Service.

{ Scranton, Pa, Sept. 27.-That there
must be a hand-to- hand struggle, be-
tween the operators and the miners
within the next six months, representa-
tives Of either side seem to doubt.
There must be a fight, and the differ.
iences will have to be fought out, but
not until after April l, when the pres
ent contracts expire.
2 Outsiders, those whose personal inter-
tests are not involved and who ought to
be able to judge the situation without
prejudice, seem to agree in some un,
explained way that the operators and
mine workers will get together.
/, The differences between the two do
not appear to be great, and yet there
are difficulties in the way of this ''get-
ting together that appear almost in
superable, and which, in the opinion
of unprecedented people, forecast gil
5gantic struggle between capital and
labor in both the anthracite and btu
tminous coal districts such as the world
never before has seen and of such a
character as to make the great fight
of 1902 look like mere local riot.

Last week there returned from
South America to New Orleans a party
of explorers, which included scientists
from different institutions. says the
Philadelphia Ledger. With a score of
natives they visited the Rio Leon ter
ritory, near the equator, and pene-
trated a part never before seen by
white men.
Among the discoveries was a Won
derful cascade which rivals that OF
the Yosemite in height and Niagara in
volume. 1t is crescent in form and
has eight cataracts, divided from each
other by islands smaller than those at
Niagara. 1t is thought to be only a
question of few years when. these
islands will be swept away and leave
one vast cataract The leader of the
expedition, Professor Caracristi of
New Orleans, had visited the region
twice before. but did not go in so far
on his previous journey. This time he
was employed by company to learn
whether the coal lands which he had
discovered were worth working. He
reports the coal to be inferior and
transportation too costly.

The Overland Monthly for May is cne
of the most excellent magazine publi-
cations that has ever appeared in Cali
fornia. The diversity of the articles
and the high standard of the quality
of each are sufficient to impress every
one who gives it even so much as
casual consideration. 1t is evident that
the new literary editor, T. B. Wilson,
is going to make great success in the
conduct of that old and popular pub
lication. In addition to being a good
editor, Mr.. Wilson is also versatile
and attractive writer and the new
number contains several articles by his
pen. Taken altogether, the first issue
under the new management gives
promise of starting something like a
new era for the Overland and If prom
ises be fulfilled there will be good
cause for congratulation among the
readers of the paper and all those
great interests of California of which
the Overland has for so long time
been a conspicuous champion.
