RAILWAY COMPANIES
SECURE A COMPROMISE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated PreSS.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 15.-The inter-
state commerce commission today rem
dered its decision on the petition of the
Southern railroad company and other
carriers operating east of the Mississip-
pi river and south of the Ohio and Po-
tomac rivers, for permission to equalize
export rates on cotton, cottonseed and
it's products and lumber, and thereby
make changes in their report rates
without the thirty days notice re-
quired by the new rate law.
The commission holds that carriers
may legally issue through bills of lad
ing from the interior point of ship
ment to foreign destination which
specify the inland rate to, the port of
export and the ocean rate from the
port of export, even though no joint
through rate is published.
The commission orders that mo pub
lished rates on cotton shall be ad-
vanced except upon thirty days notice;
that from and after this date and until
March 1, 1907, carriers may reduce their
published export rates on cotton to the
various ports of export uponthree days
notice, and that until November 1,
1906, carriers may continue to equalize
export cotton rates through the vari"
Gus ports by applying the lowest COM
bination through all the ports, there
by making, sale rates without publica-
ton and filing as required by law, pro-
vided that they post in two conspicu-
Gus places on the station cotton is re-
ceived for shipment notice of the rate
so made, and mail copies of the same
to the commission, said notices to
specify the rate and the time during
which the rate will continue in effect"
AS to cottonseed and it's products and
lumber the petition was denied.

AMERICAN SWIMMERS
COME TO THE FRONT

Attention of the world of swimming
has been directed to st. Louis, where
under the auspices of the Missouri Ath-
letic club, was decided the national
American outdoor swimming and water
polo championships for 1906.
For the first time in the history OF
aquatic sports in this country the other
nations of the world long prominent
leaders in swimming, such as Australia
England, Germany and other continen-
tai countries, regarded the national
races in the United States as import
ant. 'F
A few years ago, when DR.. Paul Neu-
mann, the Austrian swimming expert
came to this country, he swept every
thing before him, as there was little
interest in things aquatic here at that
time. From this visit of Neumann and
the rest of the world swimmers gained
poor opinion of our representatives
who were few in number and of small
ability.
Since then Americans have made
swimming an important sport. To-day
we can easily uphold the credit of the
country in every branch of swimming
and can boast of having the champion
swimmer of the world.
Charles M. Daniels of the New York
Athletic club, who,won this proud title
at the recent Athens Olympic worlds
championship races from the fastest
known swimmers-Holomay of Hun.
gary, Healey of Australia and Derby
shire of England-is perhaps more re-
sponsibe for our pre-eminence in SWIM
ming than any other man.
From the time he first began takins
part III swimming races in 1902, he has
gone steadily forward, breakine rec.
ords at every contest, setting so fast q
pace that rapid swimmers have beer
produced in all parts of the United
states in trying to emulate his example

WARsHIPs AN IMPOSING SIGHT
American Armored Cruisers Cast An
.., chor in Havana Bay

By Associated Press.
HAVANA, Sept. 15.-Three American
warships are the most imposing and in
teresting objects in Havana bay to-
night.
The cruiser Des Moines arrived this
morning and the auxiliary cruiser
Dixie, with $50 marines on board and
ready at a moments notice to land field
pieces and rapid fire guns came this
evening. Commander Abraham e. Gull
yer of the Des Moines and Lieutenant
Commander Urban Holmes of the Dixie
reported to Commander Colwell of the
Denver, who being the senior officer, is
in command Of the squadron. If Com
mander Colwells mission here was that
of a peace envoy he could hardly be
more busy.
He is receiving delegates representing
the insurgents and even some of the in
surgents themselves, who are anxious,
through him, to negotiate peace of
some kind. He has held consultations
with these emissaries, but declines to do
otherwise than recommend that they go
to their government.
This suggestion bore fruit this after
noon to the extent that there was some
talk between the emissares and Gov
ernon NuneZ. While these men are as
surfing Commander Colwell that hostili-
ties have been suspended, fighting pro-
ceeded outside Havana both Friday and
this afternoon.
While cessation of hostilitieS pend
ing the arrival of Secretary of War
Taft and Acting Secretary of State
Bacon Is urged, there is no evidence
that any such general understanding
has been reached.
The great topic of conversation today
was President Roosevelt's letter. Presi-
10
but 1t is known that he has every con-
fidence of square deal"
There is some speculation as to the
future condition in the island. There
are great hopes I'm practically all Glasses
that the United States will retain some
control over Cuba's affairs.
Leaders Offer to Surrender
Commander Colwell this Afternoon
cabled the navy department that the
revolutionary leaders assured him that
they had ceased hostilities and again
offered to bring him their arms. etc,
and disband their forces. Commander
Colwell stated that he believed he
could. if authorized, end the revolution
at once. Up to tonight, however, no
instructions in this connection had been
received by him.
The commander also reported to the
department that negotiations for peace
had been opened with the government,
and he believed an end of the trouble
would result
He was informed constantly as to the
attitude of the Revolutionary leaders.
In an open letter published this even
ing Alfredo zayas president of the Lib
eral party offers ON behalf of the Lib
erals to negotiate peace on the basis
that Senor Palma shall continue as
president: that two of the cabinet min
isters shall be members of the Liberal
party; that the municipal officers re-
moved last year shall be restored; that
the electoral laws shall he revised, and
that the new elections of senator's and
