In New York City. He says that he un-
derstands the Tammany Hall politicians
have decided upon Congressman-elect Mar
tin W. IAttleton az the next Senator 10
succeed Chauncey NJ. Depew.
There is a rumor floating among the
politicians of New York that Littleton mas
been decided upon as the man who viii so
10 the Senate said Mr.. Cox tonight. 1
cannot vouch for this rumor. but 1t seems
so strong that everybody on the inside or
the Tammany Hall organization believes IT.
The Tammsny people are said ID have pre-
pared their ultimatum 10 the state Legis-
lature. and in this Littlcton's name is said
to have been used as tho man. upon whom
they will unite.
II think that New York state Is having
enough OF the Democratic rule, and that ere

ljcan organization again. IL always hap
pens this way when a party unused TO

Gardner and TO refute the testimony tha'
he was party TO the raising of slush
fund" for the bribing Of members oil tne

The principal reason of District ATTORNEY
Whitman for not calling Hyde as a witness
a. first was the fact that ~ such an event

Another reason why Hyda, If he tes''hes

part as having hand IN the alleged In
fuencine of legislators the mere fact that
he testified at the trial would make him
immune from prosecution.
The statute defining bribery provides thst
any person who testifes at the trial OF

ccmplice or accessory, shall not be liable

Another witness who may be called Tor

charged, Gardner tried TO hrihe. District

ISTHMUS FREIGHT RATES
Secretary Dickinson Discusses
Situation at Panama.

Washington. Feb Determination 'oi
the question as TO whether the Panama
Railroad Company should encourage COM
petition with it's own steamers, and thereby
increase the loss now incurred in hauling
freight across the isthmus az less than cost,
confronts the government in dealing with
the California and Atlantic Steamship
COMPANY. which wants 10 maintain vessels
on the Atlantic. So SECRETARY Dickinson OF
the War Department advises President
Taft In letter. made public to-day, bear
ing upon the rate situation between the
railroad and steamship lines.
The Secretary sets forth that q l-3 per
cent Is the minimum that goes 10 the
railroad on all foreign and Central Ameri-
can business. Reduction Of the differential
TO the Pacific co-carrier from 20 10 ~ per
cent would raise the question as TO
whether tho charge to the coastwise traffic
should not at the same time be increased
by the railroad from 1872 70 23i2 per cent.
Such action. the Secretary urges. might
drive the steamship companies out Of bust
ness and lay the government open to the
charge of playing into the hands Of the
transcontinental railroad companies
Concessions have been made by both the
California Atlantic and the Pacific Mail
Steamship companies in order 10 get the
business. the Secretary believes, these con-
cessons amounting to cutting Of rates.
which the 20 per cent division has enabled
them 10 do
lie sets forth that il is alleged that the
American Hawaiian Steamship Company
has formerly cut rates in competition with
the railroad company and may do 10
again. II " )ud be unfortunate, he holds
IL a freight rate war OF this business
should be started. Th Hawaiian company
contends for nom n-discriminatye Ta.es
across the sthmus.
The secretary thinks a conference soon
TO be held will admit OF general adjust
ments.
san Francisco. Feb. ls.-The cut in ocean
freight rates made by the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company is charged
by shipping interests here as having been
aimed at the California and Atlas "oin-
pany
This IS an important line from Pacific
points 10 New Orleans and the Atlantic
Coast, and has been doing a heavy bust
ness since its Inauguration. particularly ~
dried fruits Several meetings of shippers
and other interests affected have been held
here to devise means TO meet the situation
and to preserve competition in ocean
freights.
