tons was considered and agreed upon.
Then by degrees others were asked to agree
to the new rates. Some OF them objected,
but more Joined willingly in the move.
ment. believing. as the wells-Fargo Com.
pany does. that the increase In business
under the lower rates would fully orsse
the loss in gross receipts.
About a month ago the Wells Fargo
contaminated its agreement with the
Gould lines. the agreement going into eff
feet on August l. As the company was
most anxious 10 announce the reduced
rates effective on that date, II was neces-
sary to apply some little pressure 10 the
companies which still opposed the reduc-
tons. This was done. and they we're swung
into line. The Long Island Express Com
pany alone declined 70 accept them. II
took the stand that in consideration OF Its
territory and the character OF It's business
acceptance would involve too great loss.
The new rates mean a reduction OF any,
where from % TO % per cent on short hauls
and from 30 up to % or even 50 per cent
on long ones"
The double graduate system Of charging
was employed under the old system when
package weighing more than seven
pounds was destined for an exclusive Of
fee" OF some company not represented at
the point Of origin or in case the point OF
origin is an exclusive office and the desti-
nation is a town in which tie originating
company is not represented.
The double graduate charge is arrived az
as follows: The company with which the
shipment originates graduate once under
its rate from the point Of origin 10 the
nearest or most convenient transfer point
and the delivering company once from the
transfer point TO the point Of destination
under its rate for that distance.

DEMOCRATS CLASH-There is friction

as campaign material, and as it can see

OF navy yard administration TO call Sec

proposed reduction of the number Of yards.

SHERMAN SUPERINTENDENT President
Sherman can effectively check business III

POLO MATCH POSTPONED.
English-Ame1ican Game to ]
Played Tomorrow Afternoon.

NEW YORK, May 31.-On two-thirds
OF an acre Of velvety turf spread out on
the dry plains OF Long Island were con-
centra.ed today the thought and attention
or the pony polo experts OF four conti-
nents In the first of the International
matches between England and America.
The hopes Of all concerned, however,
were dampened by a clouded sky, and
at noon, when rain began to fall. it was
announced that the match was postponed
until 4:3O o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The International cup. which had its
birth In this city q quarter of a century
ago. is again the prize for the contests
between the leading exponents of the two
countries in this old Persian variation
OF the still more ancient bat and bail
game. This cup is to polo what the
Americas cup is to yachting and what
the Davis cup represents in tennis, and
its two journeys across the Atlantic rep
resent the expenditure of thousands Of
American dollars and English guineas,
for polo, like yachting, is q rich mans
sport.
America lost the cup as soon as It was
tossed into the polo arena by the West
Chester Polo Club back In 1886: 1t re-
mafned In England until the Meadow
brook Club. composed of Harry Payne
Whitney and a veteran team, recaptured
1t in two fast matches. This same team
is to defend against a collection of
players is known wherever polo is even
mentioned.
The officials selected are:
Referee, Joshua Crane of Boston: UNI
pires. Capt. F. W. Barrett of Hurting
ham and c. p. Snowden of Philadelphia
