MAY RAISE RATES
PROPOSES INCREASE IN coMMU.
TATlON PASSENGER FARES
IN EASTERN ROADS.
INCREASE IS REASONABLE
Pennsylvania Road Said To Have
Excessive Rates - Proposed
Raises on Other Roads Do.
clared Reasonable.

Washington, Aug. Proposed in
creases in communication passenger
fares by the leading railways operat-
ing in and out of New York City to-
day were held by the interstate com
merce commission to be reasonable,
generally, except in the case of the
Pennsylvania, whose Communication
rates are declared excessive and are
ordered reduced. /.
Against the Pennsylvania railroad
a special order is made by the COM
mission requiring it to desist from ex-
acting it's present Communication fares
to and from New York City by Sept.
l, and for not less than two years
thereafter. For a monthly sixty ride
ticket between New York City and
New Brunswick, N. j., the commuta-
ton fare is cut from SIP to. SO, and
the road is ordered to readjust it's
communication fares to and from other
points in conformity with that fare.
In one particular instance on the
Erie, Lackawanna and West Shore
lines, the commission finds that the
communication fares are excessive, in
that they exceed materially the
charges of other roads for substan-
TALLY the same service. While no or
der is made in respect to these iso-
lated cases, the commission suggests
the ~advisability of readjusting the
rates so as to place them on a parity
with their general communication fare
schedule.

CRISIS IN HAITI
PRESIDENT sIMoN's HOME TOWN
FALLEN INTO HANDS OF
REvoLUTIoNIsTs.
GROWING MORE SERIOUS
Activity Of Troop in Palace Grounds
Believed to Have Some Bearings
On Events Likely to
/Transpire Soon.

Port Au Prince, Haiti, July 29.-It
is rumored that Aux Cages, President
Simon's home town, has fallen into
the hands of the revolutionists. II
this is true, it is a severe blow to the
administration.
Considerable activity, noticeable
among the soldiers in the palace
grounds is believed to have some bear
ing on the events likely to transpire
within the next few days.
Advices from Port De>Paix on the
northern coast indicate uneasiness at
that point and the American cruiser
Chester has gone there from Cape
Haitien. A crisis in the government
appears to be gradually approaching.
Washington, July 29.-The situation
in Haiti is rapidly growing more SER
ious, according to a cablegram from
American Minister Furniss today. The
reported sphere of the revolution
shows the desperate position of the
government and indicates that the
spirit of discomfort has taken root in
the south as we'll as north part of the
country.
The American consul at Port Da
Paix reported that the situation is
quiet. The officials here express gra-
LITIGATION v e this news in view of
recent rumors of threatened trouble,
because of which the scout cruiser
Chester was despatched to the scene.

fluff CALLED
ENGLISH OPINION Is THAT THE
CRISIS IS REACHED.
Sritishers Think II War With Ger
many Is To Come It Is Better
That 1t Come Now.

London, July 31.-The American cri-
els is practically ended. At least this
is the opinion Of the English public
although the foreign Office is careful
to point out that negotiations are not
simple and may drag on for months.
While greatly relieved at the i'm
rrovement in the situation v e seri-
GUS minded Britishers in discussing
the crisis, are invariably of the opin-
ion that if war with Germany is to
come at all it would be far better for
England If it should come now than
later when the German navy will have
been strengthened and also that Eng
land would better come to blows with
Germany over Morocco or some ques-
ton in which France is directly inter-
ested than on a question in which Eng
land and Germany only are concerned.
In the former England would be as
sured of the assistance of France
while in the latter France might, with
out dishonor, offer sympathy but stand
aside when it came to a fight.
Germany, according to the English
view, has made a bluff which is be-
Ing promptly called and she is now
preparing to withdraw.

Government Will Appeal.

Washington, July 31.-The govern
ment will appeal to the supreme
court the Hartman merger suit which
was decided in favor of the railroads
by the United States circuit court at
st. Louis. Attorney General Wicker
sham directed G. A. Severance, spe-
cial counsel in the case, to prepare
the appeal and file it as quickly as
possible.
Although the government has a year
in which to perfect it's action to the
highest court, the department of JUS
tlce intends to hurry the suit.
Opinions have been expressed in
some quarters that the government ap-
peal, to have questions involved de-
cided by highest court, would be only
a routine matter. At the department
of justice, however, it is said the gov.
eminent is appealing the case in the
hope of winning it. Severance has re-
ported to the attorney general that he
believed the government has a good
chance.

Deadlock in Europe.

Paris, July 81. - The deadlock be-
tween France and Germany continues
but France expects that a way will
be found for a peaceful solution. To
this end she is prepared to go to the
limits of Cancellation, but cannot
agree either to e%vacuate Morocco or
hand over huge blocks of African ter
ritory merely in return for Germany's
reiterated assurance that France will
not be bothered in future in Morocco.
International peace advocates point
u that the real danger of the situa-
ton rests in the nations offending
Germany's pride and driving her into
a corner from which she might strike
in anger.

New York, July 29.-That the fl

Co. syndicate in 1905 did not cost as
much as a postage stamp was the
declaration made today by L. C. Han
ma of Cleveland, o., before the STAN
ley steel trust investigating commit

by the U. S. Steel corporation in 1907,

Negotiations Remain Difficult.

Paris, July 29.-Greater optimism
prevailed at the capitol today although
it was admitted that the negotiations
with Germany regarding the Moroc-

ment of Premier Asquith in the Bri-

Caillaux's advice to the French to
keep cool and be prudent, relieved the
tension at a moment when relief was
most needed and the discreet military
preparations Of the government were
giving rise to apprehension that was
not impossible.
