Excessive Heat Also prostrates Hun.
dreds of Austrian Soldiers.

Vienna, Sept 4-The long list of
casualties among the troops engaged
In the yearly army maneuvers now in
progress in the neighhorhood of Wei
mer Neustadt has aroused widespread
public indignation and concern. Ten
deaths from exhaustion already have
been reported and hundreds of men
have been prostrated. In the Twenty
fifth regiment of infantry alone 80
prostrations have been reported. The
overworking of the troops In the ex-
cessive heat is responsible for these
many casualties. In the case of the
Twenty-fifth infantry the men were
aroused one morning at 3 o'clock and
marched steadily for twelve hours,
while the Fourteenth regiment of in
fantry, which also suffered heavily,
marched twenty-five miles in one day.

ordered the postponement of the grand
Jury investigation of the rebating
charges against the Chicago and AL.
ION road, growing out of the recent
rial and conviction OF the Standard
Oil company, until Sept "a.
1t was generally believed when
court opened that a letter would be
presented from Attorney General
8onaparte defining the action intend
on road. The railroad company has
made a claim of immunity, asserting
hat it was promised by former Dis
trict Attorney Morrison that if it
aided the government in good faith
II the prosecution of the Standard Oil
company that it would be exempt.
No euch letter, however, was present
I'd in court either by Judge Lands
9r by District Attorney Sims, the sue
lessor of District Attorney Morrison.

cation had been submitted to the de-
p2rtment and | had expected to be

poned for three or four weeks. l re-
gret the necessity for asking the court
for this postponement, but 1T seems
to me, in view of what | know in con-
nection with the case, to be unavoid-
able"
Judge Lands promptly granted the
motion and postponed the matter until
Sept "a.
After leaving the courtroom District
Attorney Sims declared that he intend
ed to submit certain facts to the at
torney general and said that they had
arisen within a few hours. He said
that he would go to Washington with

LANE STARTS
ON TRIP WEST
COMMISSIONER WILL INVEST.
GATE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
ON RAILROADS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Franklin K
Lane left Washington yesterday for a
protracted tour of the west, which is
likely to bear very important results.
In addition to looking into the mattd.
of how thoroughly certain big rail-
road systems have been living up to
the anti-rebate provisions of the rate
law, Mr.. Lane will devote particular
with a view to preventing recurrence
of the deplorable conditions that ex-
listed last winter.
Perhaps the car shortage feature
ought to be given prominence in con-
nection with Mr.. Lanes errand, as his
Investigations, together with the earn
estness of the railroads in keeping
their promise to furnish better service
to shippers, may have a great deal to
do with indicating the need of further
legislation affecting transportation at
the coming session of congress. The
commissioner undoubtedly will use his
influence to have the carriers meet the
demands of the western country and
prevent if possible agitation to force
more drastic legislation than already
has been enacted.
Mr. Lane will reach Chicago We'd
nesday afternoon and will spend
Thursday in the latter city discussing
conditions with general officers of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads, intending to talk personally
with James J. Hill if the latter be at
home. From ST. Paul he will go to
Spokane, Seattle and Portland, anu
thence down the Pacific coast looking
minutely into affairs embracing the
Hartman lines-the Union and South
ern Pacific. The whole trip will con-
sumo five or six weeks. The car
shortage situation affecting cotton ana
lumber in the south wiki be looked into
on the return journey.
Agents of the interstate commerce
commission quietly have been lnVestl-
eating the observance of the new law
provisions by the railroads OF the iaf
west. ard Commissioner Lane VIII
meet them and get their reports. Ru-
nors have reached here of some ques-
tionable proceedings on he part OF
certain roads out that way, but thefe
is nothing authentic to be said on the
subject now in view of the retlc-ence
observed by the government OFFICIALS
Perhaps it is significant that MI
