San Francisco, June S.--Arms,
ammunition and money are being
smuggled into China from American
ports to aid the cause of the revolH-
tionists plotting to overthrow the
Manchu dynasty. The information
was obtained here today from an au-
lucrative source.
Secret service agents assert that
they have not yet been called upon
to stop the smuggling. The total Chi
nese consul is said to be preparing a
request to the Chinese minister ask
ing the United States to be, called
upon to use its efforts. to prevent
Cinnamon in the United States giving
aid to the rebels.
The Chinese revolutionary socie-
ties, with headquarters in San Fran
cisco, and with ramiflcations in the
principal seaports of the United
States, have been shipping the sup
plies under the guise of freight. The
oonsignments have been placed
aboard the vessels of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and of the Toyo
Kisen Kaisha (Japanese) line for sew
eral weeks past.
Chinese who have been familiar
with the plans of the revolutionlsts
say that already enough guns and
ammunition have been shipped into
China to furnish a considerable num-
Der of men with arms They predict
that within a short time the revolu-
tionary movement will be strong
enough to enable the leaders to be-
gin open rebellion.
Chinese here who vouchsafed the
information relative to the shipment
thereby endangered their lives. The
revolutionists have spies in the
Chintown telephone exchange, In
various tongs and societies Of the
quarter. it is alleged, and betrayal
means death. not only, to the betray-
er, but for his relatives here or in
China.
Spies of the Chinese government
are believed to be in San Francisco,
working to counteract the plotting Of
the revolutionary societies.

Chicago, June Railroads and
shippers today are completing war
plans Both sides are preparing for
a big struggle over the rate question.
Following the filing of rate increases
yesterday by the Eastern and Central
Western railroads, the shippers are
preparing to take measures to keep
the rates from going into effect. On
the"other hand the railroads enjoined
by the federal courts from allowing
their rates to take effect are meeting
to form plans to fight the case.
The leading commercial organiza-
tions of 10 cities will meet here
Tuesday to decide whether they will
seek fnjunctions or whether their
fight against the rate increase will

take some other form. Following a
statement today by the attorney-gen-
.eral, that the government would fight
the railroads, provided the proper
complaint is made to the department
of justice. and evidence is filed show
ing collusion between the railroads
in increasing rates, 1t is considered
likely that the commercial bodies viii
file complaints at Washington
1t is possible, however, that the
shippers themselves may bring in
junction suits on other grounds than
those under which the trust suits are
filed.
Another important meeting in the
rate fight will be held here Monday.
1t is reported that many of the
roads are oancelling orders for i'm
provement, and that they may drop
many employees.
The Santa Fe, It is declared, is
planning to discharge 1000 men, and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
is considering allowing 5000 men to
go.
1t is further declared that the ten
tative action of the railroads indicates
that the fight may jure business. A
hard fight between shippers and rail-
roads just now, it is intimated, gould
not only result in litigation, but might
mean a falling off in tonnage which
would entail loss on the roads. That
the railroads expect long and bit
ter fight is indicated by the measures
being considered to cut down ex-
penses at once.

warning that the great prosperity ot

President Taft today addressed the

about 100000 acres of land, and
to regain possession of the 5000, 900
acres of unsold land on the conten-
ton that the railroad has fiagrantly
violated the conditions of the grant
which were that the. land be sold to
actual settlers only in quantities not
greater than one-quarter section to
one purchaser and for a price not
exceeding $3.50 per acre.
The contention is that with this
alleged violation the lands remain
ing unsold have been and are for
feited to the United States.
The railroad company makes no
assertion that it has not sold the
lands in larger quantities than
blocks of quarter sections, nor that
it has not sold the lands at prices
above the figure of $3.50 an acre.
That great quantities of this land
have been sold to the great mill
companies at prices of from $25 to
1000 an acre is admitted.
The railroad company, however,
makes the contention that the lands
are its own in fee simple owing to
the fact that the patents have been
issued already.
The gigantic suit originated on
February IA, 1907, when the legis-
lature of Oregon adopted a memor-
ial addressed to the president COM
planning of the violations of the act
of April 10, 1869. by the withdrawal
of the lands from sale. On. April
80, 1908, congress passed a resolu-
tion providing for the prosecution Of
the necessary suits at law in refer
ence to the violations of the act.
