The decision in part is as follows:
All boss bakers in the city signed this

Plaintiffs refusal to sign, concerted ac-

LAW is IN EFFECT
Many Railroads Were Unable to Meet
the Requirements on

New York, Aug. 30.-The new rail-
road rate law which applies to all rail-
roads doing an interstate business went
into effect at midnight last night. It
will be enforced by the Interstate Com
merce commission. According to the
new law the roads We're to have filed
with the commission by midnight all
their tariffs and charges, showing not
only h full cost of transportation
from point to point, but also what
items go to the making up of this cost.
FEom this on there can be no extras
u the shipper is expected to be able
to obtain in advance a statement Of the
final charge he is to meet.
1t vas stated that in fact not a sim
gle company has been able to fully
comply with the provisions of the law
requiring them to have all their sched-
ules on file by midnight.
The switching charges were the most
difficult of completion and it is said
that no roa has been able to finish it
il time to file as the law directed.
More Time Will Be Granted.
Under the law every company which
fails to complete it's schedules might
be fined, but it is understood that h
Interstate Commerce commission will
give additional time in every case when
Il road has given evidence of sincere
intent to comply With the law. To dis
cuss this and other points, a commit
tee representing the big eastern rail-
roads will so to Washington tomor-

This conference will be attended by

made subject to the law.
The new Law. also requires the rail-
roads to establish a uniform system Of
accounting. and to keep their books
open for inspection at all times by the
expert accountants of the commission.
The feature is expected to go far to-
ward a%bolishing the rebate evil Of the
past. The railroad accountants are now

q RESCUED FROM
BURNING STEAMER
Lake Craft Burns to the Waters Edge,
but All on Board Arc Saved by
Another Steamer.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 30.-Twenty-one
persons, including h captains wife
ard two little children, We're rescued
early today from the burning teamer
Charles A. Eddy by the steamer City
of Mackinaw off Port Sanilac in Lake
Huron. \
All escaped uninjured. The Eddy
was destroyed.
The Eddy which was owned by the
Gilchrist Transportation company, of
Cleveland, was bound down from the
head of the lakes with a cargo of ore.
Fire broke out early today while the
steamer vas off Port Sanilac. 1t spread
with great rapidity and was soon be-
You'd control of the crew. Distress sig
nails We're sounded and Captain Simp-
son. of the City of M~ackinac, which
was bound down from Mackinac island
to Detroit crowded to its capacity with
passengers, responded with o boat.
A heavy sea was running and Cap
tain Simpson decided that the quickest
and safest way to take off the score
of people on the burning boat. was to
lay HIS big steamer alongside. He &C
cordingly steered the Mackinac to the
windward of the burning %freighter,
and amid great excitement among the
passengers. came alongside the Eddy
and took her crew off over the rail.
Captain Elsey. of the Eddy, was sick
in bed with lumbago and had to be
carried from his ship to the Mackinac
with his wife and two children. Every
one on the Eddy lost all their possess
sions except the scanty clothing they
lad on.
This forenoon the Eddy, still burning,
is off Port Sanilac with two barges
standing by her, apparently trying to
tow her down the lake. A large part
of the boat haS been consumed.

The encounter of the two forces re-
suited in the worst disaster which the
insurgents v sustained up to this

The government is without further

may not be as near as members of the
government profess to believe. Ex-
Congressman Faustino (Pino) Guerra,

Its Legality in Doubt.
The governments offer of amnesty,
which was issued yesterday afternoon,
is v%ariously received. 1t is impossible
to say what its effect will be upon
those to whom it is addressed. AL
fredo Zayas, president Of the senate
and leader of the liberal party. stated
that he was unable to express any
opinion as to whether the insurgents
would grasp the opportunity offered
them of surrendering, but said in his
opinion as a lawyer Secretary Montalvo
could not legally issue such an order,
for the constitution provides that only
the president may issue such a procla-
nation, which must be countersigned
by some member of the cabiGet.
Secretary Montalvo, on the contrary,
stated to the Associated Press that the
offer of clemency was issued by the
direct order of President Palma and
also gazetted officially. The secretary
added that the document was in real
ity an order of the secretary of the
interior, issued by direction of the
president, to General Rodriguez. com
mander OF the rural guards.

Americans, criticise the offer of am

Early this summer there was a mys-

Bowens has resigned as American con-
sui at Guadeloupe, French West Indies.
y He left the service shortly after the
rioting in Guadeloupe, which caused
him to send alarming reports to the
state department about the dangers
which threatened American interests
IN Guadeloupe. Bowen reported the
situation was serious n beyond To-
cal control. In consequence of this re-
port an American gunboat was sent to
the island to the displeasure of France,
which had warships near Guadeloupe,
and was prepared to check any cleo

shown that the American consul was
not warranted in making yuch alarm
