DEVELOPS AN
ACUTE SITUATION
Action Of Commerce Court in
Denying Rate Reductions.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Great impe-
tus was given the movement of Repre-

fish the United States court of com
merce following the action of that
court in again reversing the interstate
commerce commission, this time set
ting aside the result of ten years
work by Western cities to gain reduc
tions in railroad rates.
The repeated action of the COM
merce court i'm overruling the inter
state commerce commission, i'm refus-
ing to allow reductions I'm railroad
rates granted by the commission, has
developed an acute situation. Mem
bers of congress now realize that the
court and the commission are at
swords points and that the court ap-
pears to nullify the commission, 1T is
alleged, with the result of nothing OBJ
tanned at enormous expense.
For ten years Western cities. nota-
bly, Spokane, Salt Lake and Reno
fought for lower rates to intermoun-
tain territory and finally won their
contention, In large measure, before
the interstate commerce commission.
Now the commerce court, by injunc.
tion, holds up the reductions which
would have gone into effect next
Wednesday, until 1t can make an in
vestigation.

TERROR REIGNS AT Annoy
Chinese Officials Lay Down Control of
Government.

Annoy, China, Nov. 11.-This city
is without ruler. Taotai Chang has
laid down the reins of government and
none of his subordinates appears will
ing to take them up.
Chang refused to receive official
dispatches, declaring that he was no
longer in charge. Tum Gan, chief
magistrate of the district, has aban-
doned his court and fled from the city.
The night was one OF anxiety. All
the street gates were closed and citi-
zens remained within doors. There
were repeated attempts to fire the
city, but all were frustrated. Shipping
is at the mercy of the pirates, who
are carrying affairs with a high hand
Junks are afraid to venture far from
their anchorage.
The American cruiser Albany has
returned to Shanghai. The British
gunboat Rosario is anchored in the
harbor.

pied by revolutionists, fighting con-
tinues, with heavy losses on both
sides. A number of Manchus, fleeing
from Fuchcw, tried to burn one of the
suburbs. They were caught by de-
tachment of the rebels and summarily
executed. In twelve hours revolution
lists captured and put to death forty
incendiaries.

Approval.

Berlin. Nov. 1.-THE attitude of
Crown Prince Frederick William dur
ing the debate in the reichstag, when
he openly demonstrated his pleasure
over and approved of the criticisms
of Chancellor ven Bethmann-Hollweg's
policy in the Moroccan affair with
France, and applauded the saber-rat-
tling passages in the fiery speeches, is
sharply condemned by not only the
friends but the opponents of the chan
cellor.
The Berliner Tageblatt, the Vos-
sische Zeitung. the Vorwaerts, the Co
logne Gazette and the Frankfurter
Zeitung join in describing the incident
as frivolous and dangerous exhibi-
tion.
The papers see an occasion for seri-
Gus concern when the heir to the
throne so demonstratively shows his
discomfort with the policy of the em-
peror and his responsible advisers
and expresses the fear that the inn
preston has been given abroad that
man war party.

Feel Germany Backed Down.
This stand by the press may result
In a strengthening of the position OF
the chancellor, which was badly shak-
en- when the pentup fury born of the
popular feeling that Germany had
backed down before British menace
was vented in the reichstag.
The chancellor sought to explain
that Germany had attained the object
which she had in view when the gun
boat Panther was sent to Agadir; that
the Fanco-German treaty terminated
French hostility, and that Germany
had concluded the prolonged negotia-
tions with honor and advantage.
The response of the house was
broadside from the leaders OF the Con-
servatiyes. Clericals, Liberals and So
cialists, who attacked the Moroccan
Congo agreement as humiliating and
approved the action of the secretary
of state for the colonies, DIR. Won Linoe-
quist, who resigned in protest.
The chancellor listened in vain for
a word of approval, while from the
royal box sounded applause Tor the
scathing dissent of Baron Won Hert
