MINNEAPOLIS CASE DISMISSED.
Threshins Machine Company Loses
Appeal to Commission.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The interstate
commerce commission has dismissed
the complaint of the Minneapolis
Threshing Machine company against
the Omaha and Northwestern rail.
roads. The company complained over
the fact that joint rates which had
been effective between the Great
Northern and the two roads named,
whereby Hopkins received the same
rates as Minneapolis, had been can
celled at the beginning of the present
year. The cancellation of these joint
rates was alleged to make unreason-
able rates on threshing machinery
from Hopkins to local points along the
two railroads. 1t was claimed that
distributing houses in Minneapolis re-
ceived better rates than were given
the Hopkins concern.
The interstate commission finds that
the IS switching charge now assessed
from Hopkins to Minneapolis is rea.
sonable unless Hopkins Is to be placed
on the same basis as Minneapolis for
all business on all railroads.

Porto Cortez, Honduras, Dec.
9.-Martial law has been proclaim
ed in Honduras and state OF ex-

The proclamation Of martial law
in Honduras is the result probably
of suspicion at the capital that
General Manuel Bonilla will take
advantage of the situation in Mic
aragua, to invade Honduras with
a rebel band and regain the presi-
dency from which he was deposed
in 1907 by President Davila with
the aid of President Zelaya. of
Nicaragua. Bonilla is suspected of
intriguing with Guatemala and
Salvador, with the purpose of
bringing about revolution in
Honduras, overthrowing the Da-
villa government and then forming
a union between Honduras. Guate-
mala and Salvador for an attack
on President Zelaya's government
in Nicaragua.
The fact that Davila owes his Of

President Zelaya gives color to
suspicion of secret of alliance
between Nicaragua and Honduras.
