RAISE IN TELEGRAPH RATES
President of the Western Union
Company Gives Reasons for the
Action Recently Taken.

New York. March S1-Concerning the re-
Gently announced advance in the rates
charged by the company, Colonel r. c.
Clowry, president of the Western Union
Telegraph company, tonight said:
There has been nothing like a gen
eral increase in rates by the telegraph
companies. number of special and I'M
profitable rates have been increased to
the standard of schedule rates. These
special rates were discriminative against
a large number of places and were Origi-
nally established by competing cOmpan-
les, which by reason thereof went into
bankruptcy. Most of the rates increased
were q cents for ten words rates. 1t
costs at least 80 cents each to handle such
messages for short distances at the pres
emit time The increases in the cost of
telegraph materials has been from % to
100 per cent within the last few years. In
addition to the recent increases of 10 per
cent in the salaries of ali managers and
operators. there has been for years past a
large and steady increase in wages of all
classes of individual employees from
month to month. There is no increase in
the extra word rate, consequently the
newspaper rates remain the same

SAME MEASURE
BEATEN BEFORE
Colorado People to Vote on
Paying Certificates of Indebt-
ednesS for Large Amount.

Denver, March 3l.-The legislature to-
day passed a bill providing for the sub
mission to the people of a constitutional
amendment TO dispose of certificates of
Indebtedness issued during the Seventh,
Eighth. Ninth and Eleventh general as
Semblies, and which on their face amount
to nearly dO00.000. Twice before the peo-
pie OF Colorado voted for a similar con-
stitutional amendment and both times it
was defeated. The previous amendments
provided for the payment of interest on
the certificates, and the last time the
legislature placed the matter before the
people, the principal and interest on the
certificates amounted to more than 81
000O00- The amendments were bitterly
fought at both elections on the ground
that the certificates were issued to pay
for supplies. etc. purchased at outrageous
figures. and il is claimed now that the
real value of the goods purchased with
the certificates and interest to date will
be covered if the face value of the GER
tifieates are paid. The certificates were
originally issued to parties from whom
supplies were bought but since that time
have been transferred TO fasteners prin-
cipally. The amendment will be voted
upon at the next state election in No
vember, 1908.

TWO STATESMEN
IN CONFERENCE
German Imperial Chancellor
and Italian Minister of
Foreign Affairs Meet.

RapOlla, Italy, March 51.-Originally it
was intended by Prince Won Buelow, the
German imperial chancellor. and Signor
Tittcni, the Italian minister of foreign af-
fairs, that not the slightest political i'm
portance. should be attached to their
meeting here today; but after the confer
ence this morning it was decided TO issue
an official statement. which follows:
This morning there took place long
and amicable discussion between Prince
Won Buelow ard Signor Tittoni. Although
the conference was not brought about by
political reasons. naturally the subjects
of conversation were the political Ques
tionsu now occupying the international
field
THE conversation demonstrated again
the complete and full similarity of the
ideas of the two statesmen"
Although the strictest secrecy is main
tanned concerning the meeting of the dip
lomats, it seems that the chief discussion
was concerning the efficiency and
strength of the triple alliance, and that
it was especially agreed that reciprocal
relations between Austria and italy
should be strengthened, as the greatest
danger threatening the two powers was
a conflict between themselves which the
triple alliance wished TO avoid.
1t is expected the conferences will end
when Prince Won Buelow and Signor Tit
toni meet Baron Aehrenthal, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister.
1t is asserted that the German chanceI-
Tor is not opposed to the proposition of
general limitation of ornaments. but that
until a practical way for its application IS
found

LEGALITY Is QUESTIONED.
Forest Service Asks Attorney Gen
eraI for an Opinion.

Washington, March 31.-The forest serv-
ice has submitted to the attorney general
the question of the legality of the prac-
tice of so charging commercial compan-
les for the right of conducting water
through the reserves for the development
of power and other purposes as to cause
them to contribute TO the expense OF
maintaining the reserve The service has
heretofore exacted payment for pipelines
taking water from the streams in the re-
serves. but the right to do so has been
questioned. and 1t is now the purpose to
secure the attorney generals view on the
point The forestry administration takes
the position that the companies should
pay something for the service they re-
ceive, through the conservation of the
waters of the streams on which they rely.
and they find their only opportunity in
the charge for the right OF way. Practi-
cally all the water used by them is con-
yeved through pipelines for the produc-
ton of electricity. and the demand is
constantly increasing.
