GERMAN WARSH|PS
WILL NOT COME


Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, September 25.-The disingenu-
GUS tactics of the kaiser.s government In
suppressing the fact that King Edward
wished to visit Berlin in 1904-the supposed
refusal of the king being used as a means
of popularizing the increase Of the fleet
have been further manifested by Ger
manys refusal to participate in the In
ternatonal naval review to be held at
jamestown, Va, next spring. The occa-
sion is the opening Of the jamestown eX-
position, and an invitation to participate
had been received from the United States
government.
It is learned that the German govern
ment declined the invitation on the GROUND
that it has no ships which can be spared.
There is excellent reason to believe that
the true inwardness of the refusal Is a de-
sire to emphasize afresh the poverty or
the German fleet.
The government wishes to be able to say
to the German people, practically: NOW
you see the shame which the relchstas
refusal to authorize new ships brings upon
us. Through our lack of sunclent cruisers
for foreign service the German flag VIII
be conspicuousfy missing from spectacle
wherein it would be advantageous from
every standpoint for us to be represented.
Americans will probably inquire why II
would not be possible to detach for the pur-
pose in question one of the German cruls-
ers which are constantly in South Ameri-
can waters.
The ecclesiastical authorities In central
Germany are greatly alarmed by an I'M
portant movement which has suddenly
broken out among the people, having for Its
object a secession from the national Luth-
eran Church. AS the movement has as
sumed considerable proportions, the church
consistories feel it incumbent on them to
issue notices to those who wish to be-
come hea thens." pointing out the disabilities
which they will suffer by taking this grave
STEP Among these disabilities are the loss
of the right of baptism for their children
in the state churches and of the right OF
interment in the parish graYeyards.

Railways Complaint Dismissed.

TOPEKA, Kan, September 25.-The board
of railroad commissioners dismissed the
complaint of the Southwestern Implement
Dealers Association against the railroads
of the state yesterday. 1t was charged in
this case that the rates on implements
were unreasonable. The complaint was
brought in the name of the association by
it's officers and the state of Kansas through
Carr Taylor attorney for the board of rail-
road commissioners. The railroad attorneys
contended that the state has no right to
bring an action against them for unreasona-

or CORPORATION must bring the complaints.
The board sustained the objection.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 25.-M.
Dmitri Shipoff of Moscow, who was men,
Der of the upper house of parliament, has
issued letter justifying his recent with
drawal from the Octoberist party, which
he led in the last campaign.
In this communication NJ. Shipoff ex-
presses the conviction that the Stolypin
| ministry is representing the interests of
the degenerate, bureaucratic regime" that
it is fighting instead of upholding the
principle Of popular representation" and
that it's ''repressive measures are directed
not only against the enemies of society,"
but also against all elements presuming
to disapprove of the work of the govern
ment designed to prevent any honest ex-
preston of opinion at the elections"
The defense of drumhead courts martial
made by NJ. Guchkofr, the Octoberist leader,
in an open letter dated September % to
Prince Eugene TroubetskOy, the constitu-
tional democratic leader, in which he con-
demned the constitutional democrats for
seeking to persuade the people that an I'M
derstand1ng between the government and
the people is impossible. has resulted in NJ
Guchkof's own party committee issuing a
statement disavowing the sentiments ex-
pressed in the letter.
Through the arrest of twelve persons
charged with being implicated in the bomb
explosion at the residence of Premier Stoly-
pin August % the police have succeeded
in finding where the conspirators purchased
their uniforms. and will take action against
a merchant of this city who sold the dis

The mortgage foreclosed was with

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON D. c. Apr 80, 1906.
Strangely enough in all the deus
sion oral and printed, that there
has been over the Garfield oil report,
it is just beginning to come to the
surface that one of the most serious
sources of discrimination praeticed
by the Standard Oil Company was
by meansef published sarriiis 2 with
out rebates and in themselves per
fectly legal. With all the hue and
WY "sed over the
matter and with fresh and more dis
grace revelation both as to the oil
and the coal roads coming out every
dav, this is a somewhat remarkable
oversight For taking rebates and
for the use of secret tariffs, the COM
pany can be punished And there
will undoubtedly be prosecutions in
stituted by the Department OF Just
ice in a little while But the discrim-
nation that has been the worst of
all, has been perfectly legal and
there is no punishment for it,
The matter, however, has been
called to the attention of Senator
Deliver and he has ann ounced that
he will see to it before the bill is
finally passed that there shall be in
corporated in it some provision
against the Continuance of such a
condition. Those interested will re-
collect that the published accounts
of the oil report simply mentioned
that there were discrimination by
means of published tariffs" With
that reference the subject was drop
ped But these determinations
had been going on for twenty wears
and they were one of the most hurt
full features of the railroad carriage
practiced against the independent
reiner. The plan was beautifully
simple. The law allows the insti-
tuition. of a Commodity rate" on
any article of general commerce in
stead of the Glass rate under
which it would otherwise fall, A.
commodity rate is usually lower
than a class rate and it takes no ac-
count of distance within certain
limits. That is to say, farmers liv-
ing around some big town would be
a Commodity rate" on GER
tain products. An eight cent rate
might carry a commodity 100 miles
or it might carry it 200 miles But
all farmers living in the area over
which the rate,worked would be put
on an equal footing when it comes
to getting goods INTO the central
market. There might be a ten cent
rate, n fifteen cent rate or a twenty
cent rate as the distance increased.
But within the area Of these rates
distance would be abolished 1t
was "A good thing for many farmers
and other producers and could he
made a very bene6cient institution.
But see how the Standard managed
to turn it to account
They had the railroad declare a
commodity rate on oil and then
they had the districts on which the
rate operated so apportioned that
a commodity rate from any point
where there was a Standard Oil re-
incry would carry oil from 100 to
200 miles further than that same
rate from an independent refinery, !
