Daphne in turn declares she is glad she

Charles ]. Bonaparte, attorney gen.
eral of the United States, made public
on January a letter written by him
to President Roosevelt in which he
criticises E. P. Ripley, president of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, for
statements made in communication
to the Railway Age and published in
that paper on November 20, 1907, page
757. Mr.. Ripley's communication to the
Railway Age related to the fine of
100000 imposed upon the Santa Fe at
of the federal court for alleged rebat-
ing. Mr.. Bonaparte said in the course
of his letter to the president:
TT has been the consistent policy of
the department to discourage and, so
far as possible, prevent newspaper con-
troYersieS between its subordinates and
those whose enmity they might incur
through the faithful discharge of their
public duties, and its course in this in
stance has been in accordance with this
policy. But l feel It my duty in closing
this report to say that the charges
made by the officers and counsel of this
corporation against the United States
attorney in connection with the mat
tiers in the present report appear to
have been unfounded and unjustifiable,
and the comments and suggestions con-
tanned in Mr.. Ripley's letter regarding
the judge who tried and sentenced his
corporation constitute unWarrantable
reflections upon judicial officer re-
specting the discharge of his duties as
such, which are wholly indefensible,
both in form and substance and de-
serve the condemnation OF all citizens
solicitous to protect the dignity and in
dependence of our courts"

The railway commission of Mexico
has finished its consideration of the
application of the railways of Mexico
for a material increase in freight rates
and is now preparing its report to the
federal department Of communications.
The commission favors an average in
crease of about IS per cent in the rates
on ore, favoring on ores having a value
of more than $50 a ton an increase of
80 per cent; on ores having value of
between $25 and $50 a ton an increase
of 20 per cent; and on ores valued at
less than $25 a ton an increase of 10
per cent. 1t recommends that the new
rates shall not become effective until
April 1. The mine and smelter owners
oppose the proposed advances, claiming
that they will cause many low grade
mines to close. The commission has re-
fused the application of the Mexican
Central for permission to advance the
rates on corn, oats, wheat and other
grains.
