Die-Hot Fight for COMMANDMENTS
Chief.

Minneapolis, Aug 15-Desp1te a
somewhat hot and dry day, the re-
unions of various regiments planned
for yesterday were carried through
with great success. There was not
floor in any of the hotels nor a hall
in the city which did not hold surviv-
Crs of some organization that was in
the field during the war. Some gath
erings were largely attended, but 9th
erS were confined to not more than
half dozen of the original regimental
members. Receptions were held by
members of the Ladies of the Grand
Army, Womens Relief corps and
other organizations of a similar char
acter, all keeping open house through
out the day. A feature of the even
ing was large campfire held in the
auditorium, which was packed. Ad
dresses made by Governor Johnson,
Commander-in-Chief Tanner, r. B.
Brown of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, a candi-
date for the honor of being the next
commander of the Grand Army, and
a number of others. The parade IF
the Topeka Flambeau club, which was
held in the evening, was the most at
tractive feature of the program

ment J. H Burke of Burlington,
Kansas, fell dead while standing In
front of the clerks desk in the Paulcy

First New York dragons. He was
knocked down by a horse which was
driven rapidly around a corner just
as he was about to take a street car.
Some Bitter Campaigning.
The fight for commandments
became active and bitter yesterday.
Many copies of a circular attacking
the war record of Captain P. H. Coney
of Kansas, a prominent candidate,
were handed around. The circular
was not signed and Captain Coney de-
clared that the attack was so baseless
as to be beneath his notice.
It is the intention of the members
of the Ladies of the Grand Army 20
offer a resolution in the business meet
ing of the Grand Army urging the pur-
chase of the MCLEAN house at Appom-
matox for the purpose of converting it
into a nationau museum. 1t is said
that the plan mas met with favor on
the part of the confederate veterans,
who have offered to aid in the pro-
ject.

Today the great parade is to be
held and a holiday will be declared
throughout the city. 1t is expected

IMPORTANT DECISIONS BY RAIL.
ROAD COMMISSION.
HELPS A BIG INDUSTRY
Producers Complained of Heavy
Charges on Various Commodities
and State Commission After Hear
ings Granted Relief-Lead Foil Is
Not Tin Foil.

The state railroad rate commission
yesterday took another slice off the
freight rates in Wisconsin. A decis-
ion was rendered declaring that the
rates on cheese were unreasonable
and must be cut down, also that rates
on other materials in the cheese bus
mess were too high and likewise
must be reduced. The matter came
before the commission in complaints
from the Southern Wisconsin Cheese
mems Protective association, making
charges against the Illinois Central,
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and
the Northwestern roads. The conf
plant alleged unreasonable rates on
cheese, lead foil, whey butter, and
other materials and products. The
cheese industry is of great Importance
in Wisconsin, particularly in the
counties of Dane, Green, Iowa and
Lafayette. The companies appeared
and answered, denying that the rates
were unreasonable and saying with
respect to the rates on lead foil that
the cheese men sold it with the
cheese and made a great profit out Of
it, so that the freight rates were not
too high
Findings of the Commission.
After carefully considering the evil
dence adduced at the several hear
ings, the commission rendered deciS-
ion of length, a syllabus of which is
as follows:
Held, Cd that the existing concen-
tration system brings advantages 70
all the parties in interest, but that
the concentration rates lack uniform
ity and system, and that, therefore, a
new schedule of concentration rates
should be adopted, such a schedule be-
ing herein prescribed.
(2) That the existing rates on
cheese from concentration points to
Milwaukee are excessive and should
be reduced in accordance with the
commodity tarln hereby prescribed
90 That carriers shall hereafter
bill lead foil as lead foil and not as
tin foil, and charge the rates applica-
BILE to lead foil.
ca That existing rates on whey
butter are excessive and that this
product shall be lowered from the
second class basis of rates and
grouped with third class commodities.
e5) That all matters connected with
this complaint, not otherwise disposed
of, relate to interstate commerce,
and should be brought before the in
terstate commerce commission.

Paducah."
The modern little armored cruiser
is now at San Domingo, a short dist
ance off the eastern coast of Cuba.
If President Roosevelt twlrls the big
stick in that direction the Paducah
will be one of the first fighters to
get on the scene. Already all shore
leave has been cancelled both for her
officers and men. Her gunners. sail
ors and marines are being drilled
daily in landing party tactics, al
though they already hold the record
for target practice for the fleet of
nine boats in Cuban waters.
Many of the metropolitan dailies
have been publishing pictures and
telling of the complement and arma-
ment of the Paducah. Besides the ma
val Office is placing much reliance on
the cruiser and crew should force be
necessary TO end the struggle.
Perchance, by the time the Padu-
cab visits the city of Paducah she
will be a battle-scarred veteran and

AS a result of the little war down
on the tropical isle more time is apt
TO be added to the already long wait
before the little cruiser can visit

set is awaiting her. not to mention
the receptions, Welcomes and enter

The old town will be theirs as long
as they may stay from pantry to

In answer to dispatch sent by
The Sun to Secretary Bonaparte of
the navy several months ago, ask
ing for information as when the
cruiser Paducah would be ordered to
the city of Paducah. II was stated
that she probably would be ordered
TO this city as soon as a little trou-
BILE was settled at San Domingo. Now
the trouble in southern waters again
is apt to cause another postpone
ment of the visit.
The "Paducah" Is one of the most
popular little cruisers among the
naval men. They are proud OF her
equipment, accommodations and gun
record and name. The word "Padu-
cab" twists the tongues of many of
the old jackies but they use it when
ever an opportunity affords. AS an
instance among the mascots of the
ship are pair OF little twin mon
keys, named Little Paducah" and
"Hacudap" which is just the same
