FREIGHT RATES UP, UP, UP
New York Central Gives Notice
of General Increase.
Southern Roads Also Join in an In.
crease on Sugar and Cofrce-To
Take Effect August 1.

New York City.-As Il Yorerunner
of the general increase of about 10
per cent in freight rates to be made
by the Eastern trunk lines in the near
future, the New York Central Rail-
road has filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission a new rate on
sugar and coffee between New York
and Chicago. This means an IL per
cent. increase in the present freight
rate on coffee between the two cities,
and 2-3 increase in the present
rate on sugar.
The railroads which hal the two
commodities from Soutt m ports
northward have also published SIM
liar increase. The new rates will go
into effect on August l. II cad of
October l. as at first inten1 ID. The
present rate on sugar betv cen New
York and Chicago is 26 crlts ger 100
pounds. The new rate WI be IS
cents per 100. The pres rate on
coffee between the two IS is 81
cents per 100. The new ate will be
so cents
Officials of the New York Central
say that these two commodities are
the only ones on which any definite
action has been taken relative to an
increase of rates. They say that,
while general increase all along
the line of bulk freight may come
later, the average increase will hardly
be 10 per cent, and may not be more
than Z or s per cent.

WASHINGTON FAVORS INCREASE In RATES
Old Methods Toward the Railroads Appaf
emily Abandoned.

Washington. d. Cit can be
stated on the very highest authority
that under existing conditions the
Government does not contemplate of.
fering any opposition to a just and
harmonious increase in railroad
freight rates. 1t is recognized that
the cost of railroad operation has in.
creased to point where some such
action by the roads is necessary. Els.
pecially is it necessary if capita
is TO be found TO extend the pres.
ent railroad mileage, and this exten.
sion is regarded as of the greatest
Importance in this era of increasing
commerce.
There is remarkable disposition
shown in Administration circles not
10 question the right of the railroads
10 raise freight charges on certain
commodities. This change of atti.
tude is due in large measure TO the
gradual dying out of the popular in.
dignation against the railroads which
was aroused during the Rate bill
hearing, which naturally was reflect.
ed here. 1t is also due to the recog.
milton of the fact that the railroads
are arteries of commerce, and if they
are stricken the entire country must
suffer.

TOLST0Y DRAWS A
DREADFUL PICTURE
Russian Philosopher Issues Ter
rihle Arrangement of Gar.
SLAUGHTER ON THE SCAFFOLDS
Most Severe Indictment Ever Penned
by Famous Author-Governmen
and Revolutionists Pursuing
Same Criminal Course.

London.-The Daily Chronicle
prints three close columns of the
most passionate and severe indict-
ment ever penned by Count Leo Toll
stoy, the Russian author. in which he
shows all his old vivid literary skill,
of the present system of government
by executions" in Russia, the article
closing with a noble appeal to the
better nature of his countrymen. In
the course of the article Tolstoy
writes:
81 can no longer endure it. write
this either that these in
human deeds may be stopped or that
my connection with them may be
snapped and be put in prison, where
I may be clearly conscious that these
horrors are not committed on my own
behalf, or, still better $50 good that
| dare not even dream of such happi-
ness) that they may put on me, as on
those twenty or twelve peasants, a
shroud and cap, and may push me
also off a bench so that by my own
weight l may tighten the we'll soaped
moose round my old throat"
After describing wholesale execu-
tions in grewsome detail, Count Toll
stoy says:
All this is carefully arranged and
planned by the learned and enlight-
ened people of the upper class. They
arrange to do these things secretly at
daybreak, and they so subdivide the
responsibility for these iniquities
among those who commit them that
each may disclaim responsibility; and
not these dreadful things alone are
done. but all sorts of other tortures
and violence are perpetrated in the
prisons, fortresses and convict estab-
lishments; not impulsively under the
sway of feelings silencing reason, as
happens in fights or in war, but, on
the contrary, at the demand of reason
and calculation, silencing feeling.
What is most dreadful in the
whole matter of this inhuman vio-
lence and killing. besides the direct
evil to the victims, is that it brings
yet more enormous evil on the whole
people by spreading depravity among
every class of Russians.
Tolstoy refers to the shocking
spread of greed among ruffians to OBJ
tain money by executing condemned
prisoners, and says:
Awful as are the deeds them
selves, the moral and spiritual unseen
evil they produce is incomparably
more terrible"
With regard to the Governments
contention that there is no other way
to suppress the revolutionists, Count
Tolstoy, while admitting that the rev..
olutionists' crimes are stupid and rep-l
rehensible in the highest degree, &C,
cuses the Government of doing tn
same thing for the same motive, an
add: "All the revolutionists' bombV
ings and murders do not come anyN
where near the criminality and
stupidity of the deeds the Govern
ment commits"
Tolstoy argues at length that both
the revolutionists and the Russian
Government are pursuing the same
objects by the same criminal means,
and that if there is any difference it is
in favor of the revolutionlsts.
