The acting secretary OF commerce ana
labor today promulgated certain rules
regarding the Oh portation OF meats and

bitration of Secretaries Taft and Racon
The government first suggested thai !,

American commissioners ruled that
this stipulation was unfair and ,bs
Moderate representatives hold tbis
view.
1t is beyond question that both mar.
ties were brought to more tractahIa
frame OF mind by the verbal ultima.
tum issued by Messrs. Taft and Bacon
yesterday in the name of President
Roosevelt, that, unless they consent to
a fair arbitration, the United States
must compel the same by Temporary
military occupation. Such occupation.
it was declared, would not mean An ., :
lean sovereignty. 1t would confirm,
only until new elections had BEEN held
the government firmly established apc
order restored.
Whatever the outcome OF the negoti
atoms between The Liberals and Mod
crates may be, it is felt here that Their
will be need for all the American ma
rines within reach, as there is littl
confidence in the ability of the rebe
leaders to control their men when or
dered to give up their arms and retur
I to their homes.

Right to Tax Telegraph Wires.

San Francisco, Sept. 2s.-In a deci-
sion rendered yesterday the State Su-
preme court decided against the city of
visalia in an action brought to restrain
the officials of the municipality from
selling the poles and wires of the West
n Union corporation under judg-
ment for taxes levied. The opinion
handed down holds that the streets
whereupon the property is LOO ated are
p1blic highways, and that the sia'e ]
any subdivision thereof has no right t.
levy tax upon franchise such as i.
h ID by the telegraph company.

NAVY is SHORT OF MARINES
Urgently Needed at Cenfuegos' None
Are Available.

Washington, Sept. 29.-An appeal
for more men to assist in protecting
property at Cienfuegos, Cuba, was re-
ceived today by Acting Secretary New
berry, of tie Navy department, from
Commander Smith of the cruiser Cleve-
land, which is now stationed at Clen
fuegos, together with the gunboat Ma
rietta.
In addition to the regular compile
ment OF marines and bluejackets on the
warships, 225 0, or marines were sent
to Cienfuegos to assist in looking after
foreign interests there, and at present
the NAVY department has no available
men. Practically all the marines who
can be spared from barracks in the
United States and from warships are
preparing to 20 to Havana. 1t is moi
believed by the Navy department thai
any of the men now at Havana or OF
their way there can be spared to assls
at Cienfuegos.

Price to Consumers.
Salt Lake, Sept. 26.-That the rail
roads are to blame for the high price
and periodical shortage OF coal in Salt
Lake was the conclusion to be drawn
from the testimony presented before
Charles A. Prouty, of the Interstate
Commerce commission today. The in
CURRY was adjourned until Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock whensit will be
resumed in Denver. Mark Hopkins,
who opened two coal mines at Cumber-
land, Wyo., was sworn as an expert
today. He said that coal could be
placed in cars at Wyoming and Utah
mines for 81 ton and allow a reason
able profit. The present price on board
cars ia SO ton. Salt Lake dealers pay
So rs for the coal laid down and. the
consumer pays 1928 ton.
| P. J. Quealy, manager OF the KEN
merer, Wyoming, coal company, anC
Thomas Sheldon, superintendent o
the Dismondvile mines, admitted tina
their output could be increased to pre-
vent the annual winter shortages, bu
said that the railroads did not furnish
cars to carry larger product.
An attempt was made to show tina
the Union Pacific railway carries sup
plies for its mines at lower rate tina
that quoted to independent operators
but this was not substantiated by d
rect testimony.

New York, Sept. 2s.-The Interna-

its prices on all grades Of salt approx
mately so cente per ton. This is said
to be the third raise within period Of
three months. The reasons given are
that the shutting down of two OF the
largest producing plants in the Utica
district has caused shortage in the
supply, that the demand is unprece-
dentedly large and that much difficulty
has been experienced recently in se-
curing cars in which to transport the
product.
