BY ASSOCIATION
Admission Made by Railroad
Official to Interstate Com

Philadelphia, April 11.-That rates
are fixed by the Traffic association -
composed of various coal CARRYING rail
roads, was the admission drawn today
from railroad officials at the final hear
ing of the interstate commerce com
mission investigation into the alleged
abuses of the coal trade. Through Jo-
seph G.. Searles, coal traffic manager of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
who is also chairman of the AII-rail
Traffic association, it was learned that
this organization not only fixes the
percentage of tonnage allotted to each
railroad, but also establishes the rates.
The Official Records.
Counsel for the commission produced
the minutes of the meeting of the Tide

association, held on Sept. 10, 1900 The
records showed that a resolution Of

pany permitting that company and the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad to carry
tidewater coal at the rate of 81. % a ton
was voted down and that the rate was
fixed at $l.4O ton, on Mr.. SearIes' re-
solution. Mr.. SearleS admitted that
there had been an agreement as to the
tonnage to be allowed each. road. and
that if one road shipped more and an
other less a settlement was made. He
said that there had been no settlement
since 1896. Mr.. Searles denied that
there was an understanding to main
tain rates between all-rail and all
water associations for the purpose of
preventing competition.

SOME FRICTION

Neither Russia Nor Japan In

Washington, April 11-Reports of fric-
ton between the Russian and Chinese
troops in Manchuria have attracted the
attention of the state department. No
official information has been received
on the subject. 1t was anticipated that
the division in the peace treaty of the

churia for even a limited term between
three nations would result in Just such
friction as has been reported At a
point on the railroad connecting the

Even the soldiers detailed to guard the
ruins at OttajanO have been recalled, and
the town has been left TO its fate. The
military forces have earned the gratitude
and admiration of the people by their
devotion to duty. Not only are they cred
tied with many acts of herOism, but they
have displayed untiring perseverance in

Bob Powers Apprehensive.

As 1t is understood here, both the
Russian and the Japanese are looking
forward with apprehension to the time
when they must evacuate Manchuria
proper, and in each case there is a
strong desire to insure as large hold
ing as possible of the material re-
sources of this rich country, after the
military forces are withdrawn One
way of accomplishing this has been to
secure concessions for the exploitation
of timber lands, of mines and agricul-
tural lands, and then to require the
Chinese government to recognize these
holdings. when they regain possession
of the country But the Chinese gov
eminent has shown a surprising de-
gree of self assertion and independence
in dealing with these claims, and it is
believed the friction that is now said
to have arisen in Manchuria results
from the attempts being made to in
duce the Chinese to change their at
titude.

CLEANSING OF STABLES.
Movement In the Interest Of the Pub
lie Health

As result of a conference between Prof
Willet NJ. Hays, assistant secretary of ag-
rfculture, and Commissioner Henry L.
West, the latter has ordered Health officer
Woodward to take immediate steps toward
the enforcement of the regulation which
requires the prompt removal of manure
and sweepings from all stables In the Dis
trict. Prof. Hays spoke to Mr.. West about
an experimental crusade made by doctors
from one of the bureaus of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in Southwest Washing
ton, in the immediate vicinity of that de-
partment. The doctors went through all
streets and alleys for several squares and
wherever uncovered piles of manure were
found they sought to impress upon the own
ers of the stables the ready means for
propagation of flies thus afforded-and the
danger of flies spreading typhoid. He said
that the results secured in this little vol
unteer work had been good.
When the matter was first brought to the
attention of Health Officer Woodward he
said he knew the regulation regarding the
prompt removal of manure was not being
obeyed, but that he did not have enough
inspectors in his Office to undertake this adj
ditional work. Commissioner Vests sub
sequent instructions were to the effect that
inspectors should be taken off of other
work and put at once on this, and that re-
suits be reported to him.
