The commission decided: First
That the rates from eastern destina.

Seattle, a more distant point.
Second-That the rates to Spokane
we're inherently unreasonable.
The decision if applied in principle
to all commodities and to all interior
points must work a revolution in rates
from eastern points of origin to all
interior transcontinental territory,
and in that view it is one Of the most
far.reaching decisions ever rendered
by the commission.
ST. PAUL, March 2.-Widespread

ing to St. Paul railroad officials.
They say that the order will necessi.

points in Oregon, Washington and
possibly Montana.
"There is q fixed relation between
the rates from eastern points to cor.
responding territory served by each
of the transcontinental Ines" said
an official tonight, land therefore it
would follow that class rates would
be reduced at all points similarly
stu ated on the Union Pacific, Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific lines and the
ultimate effect of such changes would
be a widespread adjustment of the
rates in the whole territory west of
Chicago and south of the intern ational

Investigation Committee of
Copenhagen University
Turns Him Down.
RECORDS DO NOT PROVE
They Do Not Warrant Yer
dict That He Discovered
the North Pole.

Copenhagen, Dec. % The Cook
Investigating committee yesterday
reported to the University If COpen-
hagen consistory that the explorers
records do not carry conviction and
that his records and observations
are wholly insufficient to warrant
verdict that he discovered the north
pole.
The committees report says that
DR.. Cook s, records and observations
are no more convincing from
scientific standpoint, than was his
newspaper account of his explora-
ton.
Many Danish Arctic explorers sup.
posed to stand in the front rank of
scientists, declared their absolute
faith in him. The public now feels
that it has been grossly imposed
upon and the most bitter excoria
tons of Cook are heard on every
hand.
The statement by DR.. Cook S
brother in America. that the doctor
is in Christiana. seems to be a mis-
take, as all efforts to locate him have
failed. The investigating committee
knows where he is, but refuses to
make it known.
WHAT PEARY HAS TO SAY.

THE NEW TARIFF LAW.


 Undoubtedly the new tariff bill is a redemption of party pledges in that it is an improvement over the Dingley bill. Also undoubtedly it has not quite met the expectations of ma iority of the people of the country, and without regard to party, there will be dissatisfaction and criticism. But no tariff law that could have been enacted. supposing the people were sure that the so-called interests had had no part in it's making, would have been satisfactory. As a matter Of fact, they have had a considerably less part than is commonly supposed. The great overshadowing influence in the construction of the Payne law was the need of revenue.
 But if both the interests" and the need of revenue were eliminated in the making up of a tariff bill the re- suit could hardly be any more satis- factory to selfish producers, large and small, of some things and selfish con- sumers, large and small, of others.
 All the criticism of the Payne bill is not that the reductions have not been sufficiently deep and sweeping. Much of it will be that it has been too much so as to certain articles.
 The citrus fruit growers of Cali fornia and Arizona will certainly not complain because their products have been given more protection than they formerly enjoyed. The consumers of those products may be heard to com plain, as will the pineapple growers of Florida, because they were not given more protection.
 Taking the bill as whole, the ''in- terests" have contributed mostly to the cut. though perhaps not as much as they should have been made to contribute.
 But speaking of the ultimate con sumer," about whom a great deal Of Tot has been uttered, he VIII hardly learn that he has been benefited. The reductions have been so small Out if they had been larger they would still have been too smalD that the ad- vantage will be absorbed somewhere between the importer and the pro- ducer at one end and the consumer at the other, who will still be paying the old tariff, though the new one is in force.
 If any man believes that he will buy cheaper shoes or leather goods than formerly, notwithstanding the success ful fight supposedly in his behalf, he is doomed to disillusionment

SOME NAVAJO BLANKETS
 OF PECULIAR VALUE
They Will Be on Exhibition at the Big
 Curio Store for a Few Days.

Another installment Of Navajo blan- kets was received at Ralke's Big Curio Store yesterday It included two blankets which all who are interested in this species of Indian inudstry ought to see They are not to be bought at any price, and the average buyer of Navajo blankets would not care to pay such prices as would be charged for them if they were for sale These blankets were made according to special order The design was copied by the Indians from the design of an old ceremonial blanket, the bayetta, which MT Bake had had for a long time. He sent the blanket back to the reservation for the purpose of having these copies made. one is made in colors and the other in white and black. The material is especially hard twisted native wool, so that the blankets are waterproof. These blan- kets are intended for a wealthy Phila- delphian and will be shipped to him in a few days.
 Mir. Bake will leave for his trading post on the northern reservations the last of the month. His errand will be not only to make other selections of blankets, but he will also take in the Moqui snake dance. He has often seen that before, so that his visit this time will be one of business He wants to replenish his stock of old silver jew elry.
 About the time of the snake dance there is a period of horse racing among the Indians, and there is always great deal of betting about that time. The Indians are inveterate gamblers and some of them soon run out of moneq. In this financial state the old jewelry which an Indian never dispOses of until he is compelled to is brought out and either sold or put in hook, from which it is never redeemed. Thus 1t falls into the hands of traders
