EVANS TO BE VICE ADMIRAL.
is PLAN OF HIS FRIENDS
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. March LIN a quiet
way, naval officers in Washington are
endeavoring to arrange an agreeable
surprise for Admiral Evans when the
battleship fleet under his command
sails through the Golden Gate, COM
rleting the Pacific cruise.
1t is proposed to greet the rear ad-
miral with a commission as vice ad-
miral of the American navy. OF course,
the success of this undertaking de-
pends upon congress, but the president
has done his part in making proper
recommendation to that body for the
establishment of that naval grade,
end it is not doubted that congress can
be induced to act upon the recommen-
cation in season to ensure the issue or
Admiral Evans commission so that he
nay bear the title of vice admiral for
the few months that will intervene
between his arrival at San Francisco
and his retirement from active service.
The British fleet, composed OF TWEEN
ty-six battleships, fifteen armored
cruisers, nine protected cruisers and
fifty-seven torpedo crafts was COM
manded at the last maneuvers by one
admiral, three vice admirals, seven
re ar admirals and one commodore.

ARBITRARY RATES
PLAN IS REJECTED
Senator FuIton's Bill Prohibiting
Roads from Increasing Tariff When
Objected to by Shipper Is
Not Favored
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Respond-
ing to a letter of inquiry from
IL e senate, the interstate COM
Inerce commission has written a
letter taking a position in opposition
to Senator Fulton's bill pro-
hibiting railroads from advancing rates
in the face of protest made by ship
er until the commission shall have
passed upon the reasonableness OF the
increase.
"To give to the protest of single
shipper the effect of preventing the ad-
vance of any rate until the reasonable
ness of that advance was affirmatiVely
determined by the commission" says
the letter, would establish hard and
fast rule of doubtful fairness to the
railroads and questionable advantage
TO the public.
Under existing conditions we are of
the opinion that it would be unwise to
adopt the arbitrary limitations which
the bill proposes, whatever may be
found desirable or necessary in this re-
gard in the future"
The commission also finds an objec-
ton to the bill in a possibility of in
creased burdens upon the commission.
On this point they say: IF every pro-
posed ADVANCE ndQ u U6 illNSSllS atch
by the commission and officially sane
toned before it could take effect, the
number of cases to be considered woulc
presumably be SO great as to render
their prompt disposition almost impos-
sible In instances of justifiable In
crease the necessity of delay resulting
from the probable volume of cases
would work injustice to the carriers
Until conditions become more stable
and these substantiative provisions of
the act are more completely observed i'll
railroad tariffs and policies, we enter
tain the belief that wider latitude OF
discretion on the part of the carriers
than this measures allows should be
permitted"
The commission also suggests as
possible effect of the bill, the prevent
ing OF voluntary reductions of rates.
If" they say, 1.-The rates could be in
creased without the approval OF the
commission after affirmative showirg 6
by the carrier. it might happen that
many reductions now voluntarily ac-
corded would not be made"

If it were possible to compile such
data it would be extremely interesting
to know to what extent women have
Influenced the uniforms and equip
ment Of their fighting states. A little
instance in point is the steel curb Shout

When Sir George Luck was setting
out for Kandahar during the Afghan
operations Lady Luck, knowing prob
ably something Of the fighting methods
of the tribesmen, whose four-foot knife
can cut clean from shoulder to belt,
sewed couple Of steel curb chains un-
der each of the shoulder straps on her

sword cuts these proved so effective
that at the end of the campaign Sir
George made report in relation there
to, with the result that they were

The rfr.t American Duel.

In the year 1880 occurred the first
duel known to have taken place on
American soil. The principals, Edward
Doty and Edward Lester, were serv-
ants Of a Mr.. Hopkins, one Of the New
England colonists. The men had quar-
relied over some trifling matter and re-
sorted to the field for its settlement.
The affair was stopped by the authori-
ties, but not before one had been
wounded in the thigh and the other in
the hand. There was no law covering
such matters, but the governor of the
province decided that the men should
be punished nevertheless. At his or
ders they were sent to have their heads
and feet tied together and lie in that
condition twenty-four hours without
food or drink. They suffered so much,
however, that they were released at
the end of an hour.
