KILLS COMPETITION.
Commerce Commission Thus accused
by BOstOnians.

Boston. JuIy IA protest against the recent deci-
sion of the Interstate Commerce Commission on the
subject of derentials freight from the interior
to seaports was made at meeting OF the Boston
Chamber of Commerce to-day q report from
subcommittee.
The report characterized the commissions
port "defying analysis inviting rate cut
ting and violating the spirit Of the United States
Constitution.
The sub-committees report said in part:
The commission strives to create an artificial d.
vision of the export traffic between the different
ports by strangling competition through a So
called equalization Of advantages" It deliberate
ly invites and encourages rate cutting. In one
place it lays stress upon distance as most i'm
portant factor and in another, where the distance
as from Buffalo to Baltimore. Philadelphia and
New York-is equal, it ignores it's former view and
conceiVes it to be of no consequence.
1t DEGREES that grain carried from Fairport to
Baltimore shall be carried at a lower rate than
from Buffalo to Boston, although the distance is
precisely the same; $50 miles thus violating the
preference in regulation of commerce to ports IN
State those of another.
The commission also has, to the extent Of it's
ability compelled the New-York ana Boston rail-
road lines TO charge higher rates than they are
ready and willing to accept.

FAITH IN SUBMARINES.
NaOal Erperts Sag 1t Is Not Shaken
by Recent accidents.
TFRoM THE TRIBUNE nunuAU.l

Washington. July THE accident to the
French submarine at Tunis. following closely
upon the two disasters to British submarines,
might be expected to impress the naval experts
In submerged warfare with the perils Of that
type of warship, but they still view the situation
with serenity. They say that the three acci-
dents simply show that great care must be exer-
cised In the operation of a submarine by those
on board, condition which every one knew in
the first instance.
The first of the British submarines to be sunk
was hit by merchant steamer. which was not
observed by those on the submarine pre-
sumably This lack of facilities Of sighting has
been corrected by means of the periscope. The
second accident to a British submarine was
evidently caused by some one touching the hort-
zontal rudder while the ship was at the surface
and open to the food of water which rushed
upon those In the ship as she sank. This was
utter carelessness on the part of some person on
board.
The details Of the latest accident. that sus-
tained by the French boat at Tunis. are lacking
in the brief dispatch reporting the occurrence.
but the naval officers in Washington who are
familiar with submarine navigation imagine that
much the same thing happened there as on the
British submarine. At all events. there is
nothing in any of these accidents to indicate
that the disasters to overtake the submarines
reflect in any way upon the mechanical equip
ment indicate a defect in the methods Of
operation. The mistakes are Of human origin,
and are the sort liable to occur in any line of
activity where risk must necessarily be the ele-
ment or where men may grow needless or the
rules adopted for their own preservation.
The facts that so few accidents have occurred
to the submarines and that such as have
CURED are traceable to causes which are avoid
able serve to strengthen the confidence in the
submarine. OF course, there will always remain
a greater factor of peril in the submarine than
in the surface torpedo boat, for instance; that
is admitted, but it may be that that very condt-
ton will contribute to the protection of the
submarine navigators from accidents for which
they always preparing themselves.
