NEW RATES NOW EFFEcr1vE.
Reduction is Provided in Schedule
for Western Points:

Washington, june 5.-New freight
rates filed with the interstate COM
merce commission, affecting western
bound traffic to the Pacific coast
terminals, became effective today.
Under the new schedule there is an
average reduction of 10 cents hun
dred pounds ON all commodity tariffs
from the Atlantic sea.board to the
Pacific coast. In January last the
transcontinental railroads put into
effect rates to the Pacific coast to
which western shippers strenuously
objected. 1t was evident that COM
plants were to be made to the Inter
state Commerce Commission unless
some amica BILE adjustment of the sit
uation could be reached. In Febru-
airy conferences were held in Chica-
go between representatives of the
shippers and railroads, at which a
tentative agreement was reached.
The result of that agreement was
embodied in the tariffs just filed
with the commission.

Clement A. Evans Makes Address,
Praising Gen, S, ID. Lee.


Praising Gen. s. ID. Lee.
Vicksburg, Miss, June s. The
Vicksburg National Park was dedi-
Gated today with imposing cere-
monies. The principal address was
made by Gen. Clemens A. Evans.
Our thoughts and feelings to-
day concentrate fifty on the patriotic
life of Lieutenant General Lee. as
we shall always associate him with
the. great events in which he acted
his distinguished part" said Gen.
evans. 'I will make his well known
life the theme. his character an
example, and his career the sugges-
tion of the citizens patriotic duty.
What noble man he was! Not
merely .titular nobleman without
the noble graces, but a monumental
nobility, proven by his deeds, be-
Ionged to him without other es-
cutcheon. This monument declares
his fame and our country will accept
it as a part of it's own glory"
Gen. Evans declared that the peo-
pie of the North and the South
should more perfectly know and
more kindly consider one another.
''They should Iuingle without
prejudice" he said, without DIS
trust, and for mutual benefit, not
for partisan or sectional gain. East
and west interchange courtesies and
no complaints; let North and South
cultivate fairly a more general fra
termination by the exchange of ad-
miration instead of fecrimination.
The evident quartet Of sections, East,
West, North and South, can be made
an advantage and not remain a hind
rance; and the civic union by states
Of homogenetic kindred citizenry
will secure safely and forever the
purest blood on earth, and show to
all nations of this age the example
of the best government in the world

opposing the committee, suggested
grouping the votes after the first
