Western Railroads Want to
Break Away From Post
ing Tariffs
t Comply With Law Would
Add to Printing and
Clerical Expenses

Chicago, Aug % The Alton and
other western roads have just in
structed all their agents to try to
secure the signatures of all their.
patrons to a petition to the inter
state commerce commission not to
enforce strictly that section of the
law which requires the railroads to
post in every station, depot or other
place, where passengers or freight
are received, two copies of every tt
if issued by the railroad and of ev-
cry tariff of other roads in which it
concurs. i. 4, .aI.% $ts IN I.
y While section six of the act to
regulate commerce contains this re-
quirement, it is doubtful if any rail
road in the country has complied
with it. The general practice has
been to keep d file of all tariffs at
the headquarters of the company and
to post at each station only the rates
applying to or from that station.
II the law is strictly enforced the
railroads will be obliged to spend at
least five times as much as they do
now for the printing of tariffs and a
much larger amount for additional
clerks to post and index the tar
ifs. #ss ..% @

UNCERTAINTY
FUTURE OF THE HUGE EN-
PRE- is VERY UNCERTAIN.
The Empress Dowager's REIMBURSEMENT
of Power Opens a Wide Field for
Speculation Just Now.

TOXIC. Aug. 17.-Private dispatches
from Pekin forecast a gloomy future
owing to the unsettled state of poll
tics in China, caused by the absence
of a ruling mind powerful enough to
cope with the situation. The Empress
Dowager, who heretofore has been sole
mistress of affairs. is now in a critical
state of health. Her policy so far has
been to play one minister against an
other in order to prevent the concen-
tration of power in any single hand.
Inasmuch as the Empress is inca
pacitated by an incurable disease. and
as the historical animosity of the Man
chus and Mandarins is increasing, the
prevailing state of affairs in the Pekin
government constitutes a battling prob
lem.
Whatever compromise may be eff
fected between the progressive Yuan
Shi Kaa and the conservative Chang
Tu Tung, there appears little hope of
realizing the complete stability of Pekin
authority so im%peratively necessary to
the integrity of the Empire, and the
peace of the far East in general.
While a fresh guarantee of peace has
appeared in the form of the Russian
Japanese entente, peace will be con-
stantly subject to disturbance until
some decided measures are taken to re-
establish order in Pekin politics. This,
however, is deemed impossible of ac-
compIishing so long as a Manchu and
Mandarin survive.
