RATES NOT TOO HIGH.
Opinion of President Stickney Of the
Chicago Great Western.

CHICAGO, September 7.-President A. B.
Stickney of the Chicago Great Western diff
fers radically from the greater number of
high railroad officials on most phases of
the rate question, but he stands with them
in contending that there should be no gen.
eral reduction of rates. Il don't think
railroad rates on the average are too high
in the United States" said Mr.. Stickney
yesterday. What is needed is not a hori-
zontal reduction, but equalization. The
Pennsylvania charges about the same per
ton mile as the Great Western. although
the density of its traffic is much greater.
Probably our rates are too low, while the
Pennsylvania are too high. We are max
ing money at the present rates, but should
the country become less prosperous there is
no certainty that we could continue to do
so. Rates generally in the northwest are
too low, compared with the east.

ADRIFT IN MIDAIR
WINDY CITY AERONAUT LAST
SEEN OVER GREEN BAY.

CHICAGO, September IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Oconto, Wis, says:
Drifting helplessly fourteen miles 2,OOo
feet above the earth in an airship he could
not control, William Matteray, a Chicago
aeronaut who made an ascension from
here last night, disappeared from view.
When last seen Matteray's unmanageable
craft was lowering uncertainty over Green
Bay, still buoyant. and drifting out over
Lake Michigan. Matteray made the as
cension against his judgment, knowing that
the machinery had been broken and spliced.
But the crowds insisted that the story OF
a broken propeller shaft was told as ruse
to avoid making an ascension. Therefore
Matteray went up just to make good"

excluded, except In the capacity of sur

which Premier Stolypin is committed. 1t

TRICKED THEIR RIVALS.
How Some Railroads Took Advantage
Of the New Rate Law.

Of the New Rate Law.
Ever since the new rate law went into
effect there have been a number of appeals
to the interstate commerce commission to
allow the change of rates on the railroads
without the thirty days notice required by
law. 1t is alleged that a number of the
railroads took advantage Of the old law,
which allowed a change OF rate on three
days notice. and three days before the new
law went into effect lowered a number of
the rates, thus leaving their competitors out
In the cold. The applications have been to
allow the railroads to meet these reduc-
tfons, and this has been done in several
cases.

That the insurrection in the island has
already had its effect on the commerce be-
tween the United States and Cuba was
clearly shown by the small cargo Of the
steamer Monterey. which sailed from New
York yesterday for Havana. The falling
off in shipments is caused by the uncertain
ty in the situation in Cuba. The merchants
are not ordering more goods than they re-

stances have countermanded their advance

Will Not Negotiate.

Col Charles M. Aguirre. delegate of the
Cuban revolutionary junta in New York,
is authority for the statement that the re-
ports from Havana that the insurgents
were ready to negotiate for peace were err
roneous and that the fight would go on
''The chiefs Of the insurrection," he said,
have not authorized anybody to seek or
make terms with the government looking
to the termination Of the uprising. There
is only one me, condition on which my com
arms, and that is the resignation of Presi-
dent Palma and the holding of a new and
honest election. No other terms will be
considered. The fight Is for the accom-
plishment of that purpose. and must go on
to the bitter end, whether 1t be defeat or
victory.
II am not at all surprised that President
Palma seeks an opportunity to end the
strife His attitude at present Is quite
different from that of a few days ago, when
he announced, without argument, that he
would stamp the rebels out. Apparently

The Colonel Amused.
Col Aguirre was much amused by a re-
port circulated that the junta was fitting
out two or more filibustering expeditions.
The sailing week ago Of the steamer King
CHARLES from Wilmington, Del, for a des-
tination not known on a filibusteringS mis-
soin caused the acting Cuban consul gen.
eral in New York some uneasiness, and
yesterdays rumor about the juntas activ-

Of the low, rakish'' variety seen making
secret preparations at Wilmington, has not
lessened that officials worries.

HAVANA, September THE truce agreed
upon yesterday has been broken already by
both sides. Despite the efforts of Gen.
Menocal, the insurgents, under Loyaz del
Sastillo, and the rural guards have been
In constant skirmishes and machete fights
for the last two days. 1t has been stated,
and the news lis confirmed, that Loyaz re-
ceived in one Of those fights a machete
wound on the forehead Ell Mundo, how
ever, says that the wound was accidentally
inflicted by one of Loyazs own followers.
Liberal sympathizers talk of treachery.
They say that shortly before the engage
ment Loyaz wrote a letter to Gen. Rod
rigueZ, the commander-in-chief Of the rural
guards, saying:
Il regret this war. but it is necessary to
save Cuba from tyranny. Rebellion, in
these circumstances, is a virtue. We are
resolved to keep our arms until the cleo
tions have been annulled, but we want to
make the war humane and civilized.

Gen. Rodriguez smiled when he read this
letter. There has been no treachery," he
said. ''Loyaz is a madman."
Gen. Rodriguez told The Star correspond
ent that he did not understand the talk
about a truce. He said he had received
no official orders with regard to one. But
1t is known thats orders for a truce were
given, though they are not being obeyed.

Jose Miguel Gomez and the other alleged
revolutionary leaders who are confined
there, his reception was cool. Gen. Memo
cal told the prisoners he was not author
lied to grant anything, but only wanted to
bring about peace. The prisoners were re-
served.
Gen. Menocal and Senator Zayas met this
morning. The senator expressed the opin-
ion that it would be useless to send COM
missioners to see each band separately.
None Of them would agree to a compro-
mise unless settlement on the same basis
were agreed to by all the others.
He thought 1t would be best to carry on
the negotiations In Havana, with the rep
resentatives of the liberal party.

Hardly had the ink dried on the
Cuban truce when fighting was re-
newed. The spirit of war is in the
air currents that sweep across the
little isle. Loyaz is a madman, and
warfare a virtue under the condi-
tons, says Rodriguez. Menocal's
overtures for the laying down of
machetes are treated with frigidity
by the revolutionists and Palma is in
the background for the moment. A
delegate to the junta says the fight
will go on. Peace is not in the per-
spective.
