Commerce Commission Announces
II Will Not Suspend Classi-
fication Involving Over
5000 Items.
Rf.ARRANCFMtNT FOUND FAIR
In All the Numerous Items and Ratings
Involved There Were Only SO
Changes, of Which 2s Were

Washington, June SO.-Permission
was granted today by the Interstate
Commerce commission to railroads op-
Grating out of Buffalo New York, to
advance the rates on -four and other
wheat products one cent per hundred
pounds To eastern destinations.
Announcement also was made by the
commission today 1t would not sus-
pend official classification No 36, in
volvng over 5000 items, which was
filed to become effective July l. This
declination to act is regarded as "A vic
tory for the railroads.
For nearly a month the commission
has been overwhelmed with protests
against the proposed new classflca-
ton of freight many shippers seeming
to entertain the idea that rearrange-
ment of the freight classification would
result i'm largely increased rates.
The subject was considered careful
ly by the commission through COM
prehensive check being prepared on the
entire classification.
In the 5000 items and ratings involv-
ed there were only 5S changes, of
which 2S are reductions, thirty adj

New London, June 30.-Three hard
races for the Harvard Yale crews and
a scorching for the spectators, were
the early morning predictions for the
race today on the Thames. John Ken
nedy, veteran coach of Yale, ventured
the first while the Harvard Yale men
agreed on the second.
The morning dawned clear and the
river was smooth. Thousands throng-
ed the river banks. Yachts formed a
lane three miles or more through
which the crews row. Two war craft
gave business look to the scene. As
the hour approached for the races,
special trains began pulling into the
station, unloading collegians and the
streets became congested.
The morning races with the fresh
men eights start at the drawbridge.
Its n straightway pull of two miles for
the freshmen. and practically the same
for the fours.
To a large proportion of spectators
today a finish of varsity race at the
drawbridge is a novelty. The course
OF the eights recalls President Had
ley's words at the recent Alumni din
ner at New Haven, when he said
"Bil Taft of rs is I'm the eel grass
on the second mile of the course" and
he added, yale won many victories in
the third and fourth mile after get
ting out of the eel grass"
Harvard Rules a Favorite.
To the Yale and Harvard oarsmen
the simile is an apt one. The start of
the race is abreast of red top over to-
wards the westerly bank. Yale took
the west course for the afternoon
race on account of the prevailing
westerly wind. The disadvantage of
the eel grass is the reason the course
this year was shifted easterly a tri-
ne, helping out the crew on the wes-
terly side so i'm effect the first race
down stream i'm several years disposes
TO some extent the former bugaboo OF
the"eel grass"
The morning races had the advan-
tage OF the flowing tide, which here
is very strong. While the Crimson
has been the ruling favorite for the
varsity and freshmen eights, there Is
some slight change of sentiment over
night in spite of the fact Harvard
men are here in great numbers. Har-
ward nevertheless went to the start
this morning a slight favorite, based
on veteran material and two success
i've victories.

MOVES TO have
j. s. INTERVENE
PETITION WITH 700 NAMES PRE-
SENTED TO GEN. ESTRADA,
ASKING U. S. TO TAKE
HAND TO STOP WAR.

Washington, June 30.-Intervention
in the Nicaraguan situation came to
the fore again today when United
states Consul Moffat, at Bluehelds
telegraphed the state department that
a petition with 700 signatures had been
presented to General Estrada asking
that the United States intervene. The
department has heard nothing from
General Estrada himself. The sugges-
tion that the United States intervene
Is taken as a counter move to offset
the undesirable impression likely to
result from the refusal of General Es-
trada to accept the proposal OF the
Carriage court of justice To have the
warfare ended by mediation.
The dispatch from Mr.. Momat also
told about the courtmartial of VIM. l..
Pittman. the American engineer held
by the Madriz forces as a prisoner OF

this point. taken I'm connection with the
facts is that the treatment of Pittman
has been subject of diplomatic in
vestigation, led by the department to
the conclusion that Pittmans court
martial was premature.

day received two dispatches from Ma

anti-American manifestations and
