the men detained on the prison ships

can forces in American prisons, and
that this offer was declined. 1t was de-

IN the history Of the war. and he knew

them the men who would an up their

What should be emphasized, how.
ever. is that the refusal Of Washington
and the American authorities to make
the exchange proposed was not the
slightest justification for the neglect
and cruelty with which the prisoners

treated.

Question Of His Willingness.
Owing TO a disposition upon the part
OF some members elect Of both branches
Of the new general assembly to favor
Charles Z. Taft without reference to
pledges hitherto made. the aIl-import-
ant question has been whether Mr..
Taft would permit his name TO 90 be-

The information that settled this Ques-
ton reached Columbus late last night
and was impaired TO several different

be determined at present. Il is known
that at the Interstate Commission Of
fees there is a serious suspicion that an
avenue TO re-establishment OF rebates,
and perhaps worse forms Of graft, was
opened by this decision OF the commits
sion.
Practice IN England
The decision was not only innocent,
but it was logical and reasonable. II
was in line with the practice in most
other countries. A railroad ia England
gives a lower rate per carload when 10
carloads are shipped than when one
carload is shipped; likewise, a lower
rate when 1000 carloads are shipped
than when 100 are moved. The rule pre-
walls IA most European countries.
If an express company Will haul 1000
pounds for 50 and 5000 pounds for SO,
Why should not two shippers, having
each 1000 pounds, unite their bulks
and save the SIS? Il is so simple that
nobody could disagree-certainIy no
friend or the shipper.
So the decision was rendered. accord-
ngly. These forwarding concerns are
nominally independent, OF course. but
really subordinate to the railroads. The
shipper who Datronizes the Forwarding
company, gets the benefits Of the big
quantity rates II is able to make. The
business has TO pay the expense Of
maintaining the carrier and also the
forwarding concern.
An Exact Parallel.
This again is an exact parallel 10 the
English experience, in which the rail
road companies have managed for
many years 10 manipulate forwarding
companies for the purpose Of giving re-
bates, injuring competition, and gener-
ally demoralizing rate conditions.
The prospect Of having such an ele-
ment introduced in this country, with
the sanction Of a decision Of the com
mission, is looked upon by shippers, as
well as by many experts in interstate
stripping as serious. Yet the thing is
gong on; the forwarding concerns are
oelng organized In all parts of the coun-
Try and business is only beginning TO
adapt itself TO the new conditions

he win follow it unfaihngly in his ad-

As a matter of TACT, it is not hard to
see that Woodruff occupies a powerful
place i'm the game for the Sen3Jorship.
All the twenty members of the Legisla-
tuEe from Kings county have come out
openly and iudorsed him. The boss" at
Albany, William Barnes, who is one Of
the best lighters in the State, is with
him heart and soul. In addition to this
strong coalition as a starter there are

Littauer Aspires.
LUcius y. Littauer. former member

Judge Tafts speech told the story
of the almost incredible suherings Of
the men who had died in IoathsOme
captivity, and concluded with a tribute
to the valor Of those who can fight and
die for their country In the obscurity
of the ranks without the hope OF reward
or favor.
His speech was followed by the un-
yelling, and then came the presentation
of the monument to Governor Hughes,
Of New York. by Luke r. Wright, Sec
rotary Of War, on behalf OF the Nation
al Government. After a brief speech
of acceptance by Governor Hughes on
behal of the state Of New York, Pat

When Judge Taft went to the Brook

was TO carry him 10 his train in Jer-

by the military parade and the crowds

mated that more than 5000 people had
assembled to hear and see him, and
his trip TO the navy yard was a con-

Mr.. Taft was introduced by Thomas
Walsh. and was received with a storm
of cheers. His address was in part as
follows:
