for fast driving. Sullivan's father went to
Florence and bailed them out.

TOXIC. May l7.-Rear Admiral Giles b.
HARDER. commanding the Asistic squadron
Of the Pacific fleet, with staff and the cap

versation with the emperor for several
minutes.
In an interview today, Admiral Harder
said:
Il came to Japan entirely on my own
initiative and had no thought Of any special
reception to the squadron, but on my
arrival found that preparations had already
been made to give us a hearty. even enthus-
iastic welcome, to all OF which my own
feeling naturally and cordially responded. -
1T seemed exceedingly opportune thai this
visit should occur just when Admiral
Ijichfs training squadron was being wei
coined at San Francisco, a place, which.
despite the clamor raised by one element,
has proved by the sincere hospitality dis
played by another element that at heart
the good people OF both countries have not
only a desire for the continuance of annie
able relations, but also a sincere respect
and regard for each other"
Admiral HARDER has made an unusually
favorable impression of all with whom he
has come in contact during the visit Of the
squadron and will leave japan as one Of the
most popular American officers ever en-
tertained here.

PHASE OFSPOKANI RATECAoE
Curious and Remarkable Situation
Arises Respecting Finding.
WHY ORDER IS HELD UP
Two Reasons Advanced by Hurri-
man Lines to he Considered
Request VIII Probably
Not He Granted.

WASHINGTON, May IA curious and
remarkable situation has arisen respecting
the order of the Interstate Commerce com
mission in the Spokane rate case The
commission, which yesterday postponed
until July 1 the time when the order shall
become effective, wrestled with that case
for more than a year. II involved many
intricate points of law and of railway
freight rate-making, and, as it almost GER
tainly would reach the courts eventually
for final determination, the commission was
at great pains to render a decision that
might Withstand the inspection of the re-
viewing tribunals. The opinion was care.
fully written by Commissioner Prouty and,
by lawyers, it is regarded as one of the
ablest decisions ever handed down by the
commission.
Based on the opinion. an order was issued
directing the railroads doing business be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul and the city
of Spokane materially to reduce their rates.
The order was made applicable not only 10
the Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific routes, but also to the Union Pacific,
the Oregon Short Line and the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation company, the
Hartman lines.
Reason for Action.
After tho PRONUNCIATION # the order the
Hartman lines asked the commission to
be relieved from the effect of the order,
first, because no direct line leading from
st. Paul to Omaha was included in the
order, thus rendering it impossible for the
Hartman Tires, even If they desired, to
establish rates from st. Paul, and, second,
because the distance from Chicago to spo-
kana hu NAV 90 tho IL rrtp,an 1fpae uyag
much greater by about 400 miles than from
Chicago to Spokane by way Of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific. The Harri-
man people urged that while the rates fixed
by the commission might be reasonable
over the Northern roads, it would be a
hardship to compel them to maui freight
400 miles further at the same rates.
The commission, after a hearing, granted

other bandits were with the engineer and

and locomotive.
Conductor Driven Back.
Soon after the train stopped the con-
ductor, c. l.. Robertson. jumred from the
car, but was driven back by a dozen re-
volver shots.
Hastily climbing into the cab, the out
laws sent the engine hurrylng down the
track-how far is not known. As soon as
the conductor was aware that there was a
hold-up he ordered a brakeman to the rear
of the train to prevent a collision, and had
another brakeman cut In the telegraph
wire TO send word to Spokane. A third
member of the train crew was hurried to
the station with the news.
About a half hour after the engine and
mail car had disappeared they were seen
coming down the track ard hurried prepa-
rations were made to ditch the runaways
but without complete success.
Two special trainloads of deputies were
hurried from Spokane when word of
the holdup was received. Doctors were
taken out on the train to care for the
injured.
Chief Ryan of Hillyard went out with a
posse and surrounded all the roads lead
ing toward Spokane. No trace of the rob-
bers was ound.
Big sum Obtained.
It is reported that the bandits obtained
a large sum of money from the registered
mail, the amount being placed at 10000.
The two bandits who climbed into the cab
are described as follows:
one more than six feet tall, weight 1870
pounds, face wrinkled, about 80 years old
or older. evidently an experienced engi-
neer; the other man about five feet nine
inches tall and weighing about 40 pounds.
AS they entered the cab the tall man
said to the engineer:
you have heard of us before" indicat-
ing that they had been involved in other
similar train holdups in the vicinity OF
Spokane within the las. few months.
