As for the present boycott OF American

RAILWAY RATE PROBLEM.
Suggestions for Solution Found in
Conditions an Germany.

Hugo Richard Meyer. assistant professor of po-
litical economy in the University of Chicago has
written book entitled Government Regulation of
Railway Rates" published by the Macmillan Com
pany. Taking up in detail the conditions in Ger
many, where the railroads have been under gov
ernmental control for a quarter of a century. Mr..
Meyer reveals many of the obstacles which ham
per the government in its endeavor to regulate
rates in a manner acceptable to the various parts
of the German empire. The natural difficulties
OF the task heightened by the constant pres
sure exerted upon the government by conflicting
interests-on side those whose business would
be seriously affected by any reduction rates
and on the other side those who hampered in
the development of their resources by an almost
prohibtive freight tariff.
The system of taperrg rates-that is rates de
creasng proportionatey the length of the haul
increases-which is universally in effect where the
railroads are in private hands. is applied in
Germany to such an extent as to make a free
Interchange of materials between different points
in that empire possible. AS a result of this the
industries in any particular locality a great
extent protected from the competition of other
like industries in other parts of the country. In
stead of the rates being arranged to. afford
the empire whole the greatest of
prosperity each separate district must be regarded
as a unit and when any changes in the rates are
proposed with a view to promoting the general
welfare. a vigorous protest is raised by those
who would be affected thereby
Owing to conflicting interests it has been found
nadvisable to lower the rates on grain trans
ported from part Of the empire to another. but
in order to meet foreign competition a substan-
tiaI decrease was made in the charges on export
grain. As a result since 1885, Germany has at
forded the curious spectacle of exporting each
year from its eastern provinces to Norway Sweden
and England several hundred thousand tons OF
bounty fed wheat and rye, while importing at
the same time into Rhenish Prussia, over pro-
tecte1 tariff of So marks ton, nearly three mil
lion tons of wheat and rye grown in Russia and
North and South America.
The building of canals IN Germany is a develop
ment Of the governments anxiety to solve the
perpexing problem of reducing freight rates in a
manner acceptable TO the different parts of the
country the responsibility being thereby shifted
from the government the private persons carry
ing on navigation on the canals and rivers. If
conditions in Germany any criterion it would

ment is powerless to resist popular and economic
pressure in this direction, and that IT would be
a mistake to involve not only England but like
wise other Of the great powers Of Europe in all
the horrors of war for the sake of small strip
of territory and an Atlantic harbor in one OK
the most remote and out of the way places of
Europe.
In conclusion it may be stated that although
the people Of Norway are imbued with most dem
ocratic sentiments, differing in this respect from
the Swedes among whom the aristocratc ele-
ment predominates, yet the leading men Of
Christiania virtually decided in favor OF
electing Prince Charles OF Denmark, the son-in-
law of King Edward as their King. They are in
clined thereto by the belief that England will be
more determined to maintain, even. at the cost
Of war, the terms of it's treaty of 1855. If of
its prfncesses occupies the throne of Norway
and another that OF Sweden. Then too. they be-
lieve that a monarchy would afford
stable government while there is sentimental
reason, moreover, that Norway has until
been able to boast of the Oldest monarchical gov
eminent In Europe. EX-ATTACHE.

MILLION SOAP BUBBLES AN HOUR.
Big Machine Makes as Many in Day as
There Are Children in United States.

If each boy and girl in the United States
should make a bubble some day, the combined
number would hardly exceed that produced
every day this summer at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition by big machine on exhibition in
the Palace of Manufactures Liberal Arts and
Varied Industries.
The soap bubble machine is a double declzed
continuance, consisting of two beautifully decor
ated porcelain bowls OF suds, one above thu
other. surmounted by a plaster fairy. The suds
is made very strong. The bubbles are produced
by forcing air into the soapy water. constant
flow of air is maintained through pipes. and
the bubbles constantly rise and fall In the
basins, making a most beautiful effect.
The capacity Of the bubble fountain. which IL
the largest ever made. is 1900 bubbles a
minute This means 1,O56.OO0 an hour. or
9.JO4OOO during a nine hour working day.
Three-fourths of pound OF soap is sufficient 70
supply the fountain for two days, making q
total of 19OOSOO0 bubbles.
The bubble fountain is maintained to sd
vertise we'll known brand Of soap. It is. per-

only too well founded. and on the strength of his
reports Emperor William dispatched him, with
a strongly worded letter to his nephew, the
Car, which had the effect of causing Russia to
suspend for a second time the preparations

It remains to be seen whether Russia will
make a third attempt to secure a slice Of Nor

of the possession of warm water port on the
Atlantic, again using the Lapp grazing rights as
a pretext. Would England in that case. go to
the length of declaring war upon Russia to

into his own pocket. In March of this year Con-
troller Grout learned that the New York Con-
tracing and Trucking Company had collected
from the city 5000 20 for dumping ashes at its
pier at 79th-st for period of little more than
a month, ending January 81, 1904. The annual
rental which the Murphy firm paid for the pier
was only $4,sO0. At another time the Dirt
Trust got from public dumping at the West
79th-st. pier in one week as much it paid
the city in year for its lease.

explaining how the Murphy company ran up one
bill against the city he said:
Woodbury. wanted US to help him out when
the snow removals tied everything up. We had
plenty of business at the 79th-st pier, but as
he wanted US TO help him let him dump
ashes and snow at the pier"
Another example of the Dock Departments
partially toward the Dirt Trust is afforded by
its lease of one half the pier at The foot of East
31st-st For this half Murphy pays 5000. Tho
other half rents for $4,000 a year.
The Dirt Trust" now has five piers at such
low rentals and in such strategic places on the
waterfront that it has practically shut out all
opposition In fact many of its competitors have
even been forced to use the trusts" piers. and
have had to turn over a part of their profits to

has extended similar favors TO other companies

FAV0RS FOR FRIENDS.

Murphy's allies in Tammany Hall have also
been treated with marked favoritism by the
Dock Department. Daniel Mcmahon, for exam
pie one Of the Tammany triumvirate which
succeeded the Croker regime and who for
time ruled with Haffen and Murphy, has made
much Of his large fortune by paying "cut rates.
for docking facilities. In the last month of the
Van Wyck administration the Dock Department
leased to McMahon a pier at the foot Of West
54th-st. for 81, 1856 a year, although the adjoin-
ing pier rented for $500. The Mcmahon pier
nets profit of about $4,000 a year Mcmahon
also got the bulkhead between 55th and seth
SITS. for $500 year for three years. or less than
a dollar day. Under the Strong administra-
ton this bulkhead was leased for 50 $50 a year
In contrast with the paItry sums paid by Tam
many favorites for piers the rentals charged
some OF the steamship lines seem enormous AL
though of course most OF the piers rented to the
big lines are superior to those in the control of
the Dirt Trust" and the various other Tam
many corporations. yet their rental is all out
of proportion to that paid by the Murphy crowd.
The Allan State Line for example, which is
threatening to go to Boston, was asked to paw
S42 900 for the southern half of a new Chelsea
pier at West 22d-st At the present time it
leases one-half OF pier for $4,000 year. For
the Chelsea piers the Dock Department
will take nothing less than SS4. 900 each The
Cunard Line pays S4O.s5O for a half pier
and $70.239 for a full pier in the Gansevoort
Market section. and the White Star Line near
by pays SS5.375 for each Of its two full piers
While the Dock Department has been so solic-
itous about giving its favorites as much OF the
waterfront as possible for the least possible
rental. it has forgotten the welfare Of the GEN
eral public almost entirely. II has leased so
much Of the city's pier property to private cor
porations and Tammany contractors that almost
all OF the old public piers have been closed. AS
a result according to McDougal Hawkes. the
Commissioner of Docks under Mayor Low. the
cost Of living in this city has been greatly in
creased.
