BY Proxy.

He was a man with a large, rotund
personality, and he stood at the head
of a long line Of impatient men, wom-
en-, and children, who were waiting
for a chance to pay their fares and
get past the turnstile Of the elevated
railway at Madison and Wabash.
He was searching leisurely in his
pockets for the necessary nickel, and
it wasn't in any of them.
Finally he produced a IS bill, which
he slowly and methodically unfolded
and passed oyer to the monopolist in
side the ticket office.
Dom his bastely hide!" fervently
exclaimed man with a strong Upper
airy accent, half way down the line.
30, you mustn't talk that way!" ex-
claimed a sweet feminine voice, d.
rectly behind him; "but thank you,
ever so much!"

Trade gives evidence Of the narrow-

at $175 @250 with fancy offerings COM
manding S275@350 and upward. Plain
offerings, and aged consignments clear
slowly at the decline, as the demand
for such classes is limited and the bulk
of such arrivals are taken on specu-

Western Railroads Continue Pol
icy of Retaliation For 2-Cent
Fare Laws
ADVANCE OF PER CENT MADE
Increase Accomplished by Raising Min
imum Carload Rate for Many Com
modities = Applications for Cut
Rates Refused Complaints Made to
Eastern Roads.

Chicago, June 13.-With the with
drawal of all passenger rates less than
2 cents a mile, except Communication
suburban rates and special rates for
railroad employees, in the states Of IL
linois. Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Ne
braska and Arkansas, comes the an
less than carload commodity freight
rates in Illinois and preparations in all
the states named to advance the mini
mum carload weight on more than 80
per cent Of the articles named in the
western freight classification, also the
abolition of several commodity tariffs
and restoration Of the articles to class
tfication.
This will advance iron articles 5000
pounds; agricultural implements, 1000;
grain products, 5000; and all other
carload commodities from 5000 to 5000
pounds, and, with the abolition Of COM
modify tariffs on low grade shipments.
will have the effect of making gen.
eral advance in freight rates OF about
6 per cent. s5
The executive committee Of the
Western Passenger association held a
special meeting yesterday for the pur-
pose Of completing the work started
the day before All applications for
reduced rates were refused. This in
cludes conventions of all kinds, camp
meetings, Sunday school excursions,
and merchants conventions. The max
imum and minimum passenger rates
in all western states passing 2 cent rate
bills will be those provided by law. All
roads were represented, and the So
called weak lines stated they would
confine their rates to the regular sched-
ule.
The lines in the Central Passenger
association considered similar action,
but because of the absence Of executive
instructions no conclusion was reached.
1t is understood they will join with the
western lines in fighting the law in IL
linois They are not interested in other
western states.
The changes in the official freight
classification have brought all sorts
of maledictions upon the heads of the
eastern railroads. and yesterday Chair
man Tucker Of the Central Freight as
ISOLATION was busy considering the
complaints of the manufacturers af-
fected by the recent changes. The pa
per. brick, and cement manufacturers
in the eastern territory appeared be-
fore the association yesterday and rep
resented they had more than 100000
tons of stock sold on the basis Of the
old commodity rates.
The grain people also have griev-
ance against the eastern lines, and will
appear before the association today. In
the season of open navigation it is US
ual to reduce the rates on grain to the
east but the roads have signff1ed their
intention Of advancing the all rail rates
in addition to compelling loading to the
capacity of the car. This will, accord
ing to the grain interests, wipe out the
margin of profit and keep Chicago out
of the foreign markets.

he should come ins here now, what
would you advise me to do?'
"'Sit down. was the reply"

ACTS ON JAP QUESTIONS.
President Orders Secretary straus to
Pacific Coast.


Washington, June 13.-For the Sec
ond time in few months President
Roosevelt will send one of the MEM
bers of his cabinet to the Pacific slope
for the purpose of investigating the
Japanese question.
Before the president prepared his
last annual message he had Secretary
Metcalf visit San Francisco for the
purpose of devising remedy for the
settlement of the school question and
attacks made by hoodlums upon jap
anese subjects. Now he has ordered
Secretary Straus of the department OF
commerce and labor to inquire partic-
ularly into the immigration situation.
The report of the secretary will be
used by the president in discussing the
japanese question in his next annual
message.
Mr.. Straus will inquire into the oper-
alton of the. Chinese as we'll as the
Japanese exclusion law The reports Of
harsh treatment of Chinese laborers
seeking admission into this country
caused Chinese to institute boycott
against American goods two years ago.
This trouble was adjusted at the time,
but it will be necessary shortly to ne
gotiate an immigration treaty with
China. and it is likely that the Picking
government will seek to have adopted
the solution now in effect in the case
of Japan. That is that the United
States will not admit Chinese unpro-
vided with passports.
So far as the Japanese are concerned
there is no doubt that a great deal OF
friction has occurred, and the Depart
ment of commerce and labor has been
Informed of evasions of the law. The
instructions to American agents, how
ever, require them to handle japanese
with the utmost consideration in order
to avoid rows which would be reported
in Japan and further arouse the yellow
press.
1t was pointed out today that the at
titude of the administration in the
Japanese troubles had been outlined by
Secretary Root in his address before
the American Society of International
Law April 10. What Mr.. Root said
then. it was, explained, applies as
strongly to the conditions that now
confront the United States as it did to
the conditions to which Mr.. Rootsre
ferred Mr. Root said:
"All foolish talk about war was pure
ly sensational and imaginative. There
was never even friction between the
two governments.
"It is hard FOR democracy to learn the
responsibilities Of its power: but the
people now, not governments, make
or dislike, sympathy or dis
cord peace or war, between nations.
The people who permit themselves to
treat the people of other countries with
and insult are surely SOW
ing the wind to reap the whirlWlnd,
for a world of sullen and revengeful
hatred never can be world of peace.
Against such feeling treaties are
waste paper and diplomacy an empty
routine of idle form. The great ques-
ton which c,vershadowed all discus
sion Of the treaty Of 1894 was, Are the
people of the. United States about to
break friendship with the people of
Japan. That question, believe, has
been happily answered in the mega
tive"
