Rate War reatened.

Chicago.-One OF the worst grain
rate wars in the history of the western
railroads is threatened by action
which has been taken by the
Great Western. Tariffs have been
filed by that road, putting into
effect eQualized rates from Omaha
to Chicago, and from Omaha to
st. Paul on grain coming from a large
area west of the Missouri river. The
rates the Great Western will get on
this grain vary between 8 and 10 cents.
the normal rates being II and IL cents.
This action. coming as 1t does. when
the railroads are on the eve OF hand
ling one OF the largest grain crops In
years. bids fair to cost them large
loss in revenue.

HONDURAS May
HAVE TROUBLE
REFUSES TO REVOKE ITS ACTION
AAiNsT CONSULAR
AGENTS.
WORRIES UNCLE SAM
STATE DEPARTMENT MUCH DIS
PLEASED WITH DIPLOMATIC
SITUATION.

Washington.-Hondu has declined
to comply with the wishes of the
American government by revoking the
decree Issued by President Davilla can
ceiling the exequaturs OF American
Consul Drew Leonard and Vice Consul
Virgil c. Reynolds at Ceiba, on the
ground that they had interfered in the
internal politics OF Honduras and that
with the vice consuls OF France and
Norway, they advocate the surrender
OF Ceiba to the revolutionists.
The decree of cancellation of the exc
Quaturs has been published in the Of
ficial gazette of Honduras. which In re-
fusing to revoke 1t takes the view that
such action would wound the sovereign
ty of the government and place 1t In
bad position before the other Central
American states. State Department
officials are provoked by the attitude
which Honduras has manifested.
The action of the Honduras govern.
ment was communicated to the State
Department through her minister here.
Ugarte. In n formal note. Honduras
sets out clearly in this communication
the reasons which impelled her to de-
cline the request of the United States
for a suspension of the decree cancell-
ing the consuls exeQuaturs and ex-
presses regret that this step is neces-
sary.
Mr.. Ugarte says his government ac-
knowledges the evidences OF sympathy
which the United States has had for
Honduras ara for the Difference in
which Honduras holds this govern
ment.. The hope Is expressed that the
American government. inspired by the
principles Of Justice and right which
always have governed Its rule OF pre-
cedure, vii follow that attitude In
the present Instance.
A mail report containing evidence
that Mr.. Ugarte says upholds the action
taken by his government Is now on Its
way here. This will be presented to
the State Department for Its informa.
ton.
The action of Honduras is 4 surprise
to the State Department. as 1t was
confidently hoped that President Da'
villa would revoke the decree as an act
OF courtesy. IL for no other reason. SO
that the consular officers would be free
to continue In the discharge OF their
duties. leaving the question Of the
charges affecting them q subject for
future consideration when all the evil
dence has been fully considered by
both governments. Mr.. Ugarte did not
present the note In person. but sent II
