MAY NOT BE CHIEF OF STAFF.
Current Gossip Regarding Gen. Cor
bins Promotion.

An interesting bit of gossip in connection
with the prospective retirement of Lieu
tenant General Chaffee and the promotion
to the grade of lieutenant general of Major
Generals Bates and Corbin, respectively
is that General Corbin win not be detailed
as chief of staff OF the army, with head
quarters at the War Department. That is
understood to be In accordance with the
wishes of General Corbin, who is not IN
good health and win retire for age in Sep
TENDER next.
The program is said to be that Gen.
Bates shall succeed Gen. Chafree as chief
OF staff early next year. and on his retire.
ment in the early summer Gen. Corbin
shall be promoted lieutenant general and
either Maj. Gen. Arthur Macarthur or
Mai Gen. Wood be detailed to duty as
chief Of staff. The effect of that plan
would be to give Gen. Corbin the rank of
lieutenant general for a few months, but
relieve him from the duties OF chief Of
STAFF, which would be temporarily per-
formed by a major general, who, on the
retirement Of Gen. Corbin, would be pro-
NOTED lieutenant general and continue in
the Office OF chief of star until his retire

SENATOR MORGAN OPPOSED.
Unfavorable to the Cession of the Isle
of Pines.

The discussion in relation to the probable
action of the Senate in respect to the rati-
fication of the treaty with Cuba ceding to
that republic the Isle OF Pines has pro
ceeded without reckoning on the conditions
that will apply to the treaty when the
Senate committee on foreign relations
meets next month
1t is well understood that Senator Gull

quently spoken favorably to the ratifica-
tion of the treaty and it has been declared
that Senator Foraker chairman of the
subcommittee that has the treaty in It's
hands for a report to the full committee
has been in favor OF ratification. But that
subcommittee has not yet made It's report.
In fact, 1t has not yet had a meeting. OF
still further interest Is the fact that SEN
ator Morgan is a member of the subeom-
mittee and Senator Morgan is decidedly
against the ratification of the treaty.
Before the treaty is reported to the full
committee, one way or another, the sub
committee will have to be called together
and If 1T is reported by a divided vote there
is likely to be a very interesting discus
sion IN the committee, which is sure to be
carried into the Senate If the treaty should
be taken there for ratification.

ORDER WAS ILLEGAL.
Important Decision at Chicago Affects
Railway Rate Question.

CHICAGO, November 20.-Judge Bethea
In the United States circuit court today de-
cided that the order issued by the inter-
state commerce commission directing that
the railroad rates ON live stock between the
Missouri river and Chicago be lowered in
conformity with the rates on dressed beef
was Illegal.
The Chicago Great Western and seven
teen other railroad corporations were the
defendants In two suits brought by the in
terstate commerce commission. The first
related to the decision of the commission
in which the lowering of the rates on live
stock to a point where they would con-
form with the rates on dressed beef was
ordered. The second was an application
on the part OF the commission for an IN
junction against the railroads prohibiting
them from refusing to lower the rates.
Several weeks were consumed by the In
PRODUCTION of expert testimony. and the
court considered the evidence for two
weeks.
In his decision Judge Bethea said In part:
ut was the opinion of the commission
that the relation of rates enforced by the
defendants were higher on live stock than
upon dressed meats or prepared products
OF cattle and hogs from points on the Mis-
souri, river and south St Paul, Mimi. to
Chicago. and that the rates as maintained
constituted a discrimination in violation of
the provisions Of the act to regulate COM
merce. The railroads declined to obey the
order of the commission directing them to
equaIize the rates, and the two suits were
brought by the commission, seeking to COM
pei the defendant corporations to heed the
ruling Of the commission
In summing up the-case Judge Bethea de-
clared that there was no evidence of collu-
sion on the part of the railroads, and that
the rates on live stock were not discrim-
ination. He held further that the interstate
commerce decree was not binding on the
railroads. and that the commission had not
the power to compel the railroads to obey
its rulings.

$40 In the event it should be necessary to
bring suit in connection with the trans
action. 1t Is added by Mr.. Cross that for
the 700 he obtained from the company he
was Obliged to sign notes aggregating

Up to April 1, this year, it is stated. Mr.
cross mad repaid S23.eS on account Of the
ful accident, he states, and lost his en-
ployment as a machinist at the Washing
ton navy yard. He notified the COMPANY
that he could not meet the notes The

Continuing, Mr.. Cross informs the court
that IN order to obtain employment he went
to Sharon. Pa, but after working there a
result could not send any money home to
his family, and the latter became dependent

consulting an attorney, an offer was made
to the company to pay the balance to make
up $50 and interest, in settlement of the
Indebtedness. The offer was refused and
notice was given that the household goods
would be removed today from the Cross
nome. The suit In equity was fled through
Attorney Charles w. Darr, and Justice An

The cosnplainants contend that any pay
ment to the company of more than $50 and
interest at the rate of 9 per cent would be
usurious. They ask that upon the payment
by them to the company of S29.3 their
household goods be discharged from any
lien or encumbrance on account of the loan
of the $50.

one hundredth of an inch of precipitation
was recorded.
Asked the cause of the sudden snowfall
Prof. Garriott, one. OF the official weather
prophets, said to q Star reporter this after

degrees IN a very short space of time.

the defendants have in any way molested
or annoyed the compliments so as TO en-
title the latter to the injunction.
THE chief complaint of the employers
appears to be that strikers have enticed

by any intimidation. some OF the employees.
I do not find that courts of equity enjoin
companied by money rewards Upon the
whole. think the Injunction now standing
