The HASTINGS Hearing,

Charles A. Prouty who conducted the'
hearings in St. Paul this week for the
Interstate commerce commission, is rec
ognized as the most progressive and
thoroly posted member of that body.
He is the one man the railroads regard
as their enemy, but in his discussion
and conduct Of cases he seems emf
nently fair to the railroad interest.
In the hearing just closed, he made
it plain to the compliments that
condition such as they state is not nee
essarily an unjust discrimination. The
grain rate from Minneapolis east is
much lower than from points farther
south and really nearer Chicago. The
difference is so great that grain can
usually be shipped to Minneapolis and
then to Chicago for the same amount
as the rate on a straight shipment to
Chicago This, in Judge Prouty s view,
is not MUST, because Minneapolis has
the benefit Of competition by way Of
Duluth and the lakes, which forces a
low rate. He might have added the
fact Of the Soo's competition, keeping
east-bound rates on the other roads low.
terstate rates may be less for the long
haul than for the short haul, and still
be just and reasonable.
AS the hearing ended, it does not
seem likely that any relief will be
granted by the commission in the cases
/. brought. The best that could be done
In the Cannon Falls case was a half.
cent, reduction. That made the Can
non Falls Chicago rate the same as the
Cannon Falls Minneapolis plus the Min
neapolis- Chicago rates That condition
was, therefore, Endorsed by the commits
sion, which would have to reverse itself
to grant any further reduction.
AS to coal rates, Judge Prouty made
it plain that the competition between
Hastings and the little way station OF
Alton was small matter, and that the
real wrong in the case was in an ex
cessive< rate from the twin cities t.
Hastings and other Minnesota points
This, he said, was matter entirel,
within the province Of the Minnesot;
commission. No doubt this rate vii
again be taken up, but Commissions
Staples testified that no complaint hat
ever been made that the Hastings rat
is excessive. On the face Of things i
is. The local rate from Duluth to tn
twin cities is $1.25 and to Hastings
twenty miles farther, it is $1.75. TIL
difference is SO cents, but the souther:
road gets more than that amount. j

AGRICULTURAL DEPT.
PROBE BEGINS AT ONCE
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, May 1O.-Under author
ity granted by the house yesterday,
Chairman Littlefeld, of the committee
on expenditures, intends to begin at
once the investigation of the agricul-
:tural department.
Several weeks ago, when the investi-
cation was proposed, Chairman Little
field and Mr. Davis of Minnesota. who
is a member of the committee. had sew
eral conferences with Secretary Wilson
and Assistant Secretary Hayes with a
view to getting line on the scope the
inquiry would assume, once it was au..
thorized by the house. As the name of
the committee suggests, the investlga-
tion will relate only to the expenditures
in the department. and will not go into
the personnel of the department force,
except as it relates to expenditures.
Mr.. Littlefeld is not going into this
matter with the idea that any frauds
are to be uncovered, but with view to
finding out whether the money appro-
priated by congress for agricultural pur.-
poses is distributed in an economical
way. and possibly to secure some infor-
nation on which to base recommends
tions for the establishment of more
economical methods in that department.
Mr.. Littlefeld apparently got his first
report on the investigation from Secre-
tary Wilson IS own statement, showing
how much more it cost to pack and dis
tribute the annual seed supply than it
cost for the seeds themselves.

The San Francisco Situation.

There seems to be a confusion of
ideas regarding the San Francisco relief
funds. While the country believed it
had provided with extraordinary iber-
atty for the needs of the town, the re-
ports from the stricken city arc that
the committees are in the dumps over
the prospect of feeding the dependents
out of the funds in hand and in course
of collection and transmission. San
Francisco was disappointed that it did
not get the congressional appropriation
Of $2,500,00O, and perhaps the country
will be somewhat surprised also, but
congress appears to have known what it
was doing. The matter has been OK
planned clearly by Secretary Taft in a
dispatch to Chairman Phelan. The sec
rotary says that congress appropriated
the money to reimburse the army for
supplies advanced to San Francisco.
There was no intention on the part Of
congress to give the cash and the sup
plies also. That would have meant an
appropriation Of public money Of
$5,OOO,OOO, instead of half the amount.
So far as private, subscriptions are
concerned, Chairman Phelan s report of
May showed something over $4,000
900 subscribed. The correct and later
total must be much more than this, as
New York gave nearly $3,000,O0O alone.
But whatever the subscriptions are,
two things are clearly shown; first, that
no possible public subscriptions could
long keep community the size of San
Francisco in food; second, that the
safety Of the city depends upon her
people getting to work and earning
wages. Already this has been realized
and the committees report with consid-
cradle satisfaction a reduction of 10000
in the number on the relief rolls. This
is not very rapid progress. 1t is &C
counted for by the fact that there be-
ing nothing to do in San Francisco but
the toughest kind Of work, and the pres
ence there of great numbers of men who
are incapable. Of manual labor.
The whole matter is a demonstration
of the nicely with which elnployments
in great city are adjusted, every man
fitting into his place and becoming help
less and burdensome when that niche Is

POSSES SEEK ROBBERS
!. !. AFTER BIG REV. ARDS

/. Vancouver, B. c., May 1O.-The rob-
bers. who held up the Imperial Limited
yesterday are thought to be the men
who robbed the Canadian Pacific train
between Mission Junction and Vancou-
yer, Sept. 2, 1904. The mask fell off
the eldest man s face and Mail Clerk
Thorburn who was in the former
holdup, recognized him.
The Canadian Pacific offers $1,000 as
"a reward for each of the robbers, or
$4,000 for the three, dead or alive. The
Dominion government offered 81 900 re-
ward and the provincial government
$500 for each. Posses of cowboys and
Indians left Kamloops this morning in
pursuit.

Britain for Disarmament.

The liberal government which came
into power pledged to number OF So;
cial experiments in government has
found itself handicapped in the attempt.
to satisfy the little England clements.
which elected it by the tremendous. ex-::
penses Of the defense of the empire. So
long as Great Britain maintains the ma
val policy Of having as many effective
units as the next two powers there Will
be little loose cash for old age pen
sions, payment Of legislators, state
schools free Breakfasts. and numerous
projects which appeal to the Ia
Dor and non-confprmist elements which
are the backbone of present day liberal
ism.
It is therefore not strange that SO re-
nowned statesman as Sir Edward
Gray. whose presence at the foreign Of
fee was hailed as guarantee that the
empire would not be sacrificed, is COM
PEELED to welcome motion inviting the
attention Of the powers to the question
Of disarmament. Sir Edward Gray de-
| clared that the matter ought to be dis
! cussed at the next Hague conven-
! tion and that the motion of Mr.. Vivian,
| a labor member, ought to be considered
an invitation from Great Britain to
| take up the question.
Of course disarmament is mere
dream SO long as Great Britain main
tains her policy of supremacy. France
! and Germany by acceding to it would
be merely confirming Great Britain IS
title to the mastery of the seas at less
cost to the British taxpayer. By push
ing the margin of difference they CON.
stantly compel Great Britain to build at
a higher rate of speed than they have
set for themselves with the chance al
ways that a smaller navy may beat a
larger one as happened in the late wal
| between Russia and Japan - ~ :
Mr.. Bellaire, liberal member, II
moving an amendment to the motion de
clared that the only hope of stopping
the mad race was in an Anglo-America1
alliance. These two powers, he said
could guarantee each other against at
tack by any two powers. Undoubtedly
such program would be very nice fo1
Great Britain, but it leaves out Of &C
count the fact that America is not il
! the alliance business. Our policy to
, ward Europe is to trade with all nations
: and treat all alike. Our navy is fo
