To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I wish to express my very strong
approval OF your editorial on Tho Rate
Decision" and your Financial Market
column in this mornings issue. Your state
ments that lit cannot he denied that unani-
nous opinion Of tho Interstate Commerce
co mission. a body whose fairness in the
past has been recognized by the railroads

and "as a matter of fact the decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
favor of the shippers is distinct tribute
To the wonderful growth and prosperity of
the American railroads in the last ten
years" are undoubtedly sound and it Is
too bad that such sentiments are not more

Washington, Sept. 21.-Disregarding
the protest OF the Eastern trunk lines
the interstate commerce commission
declined to suspend proposed reduc-
ton in the rail and lake rate on flour
from Minnesota trapsfer points to
New York via Duluth and also re-
fused to permit the Eastern lines to
withdraw their concurrence In the re-
duced rate
The commission considers the de-
cision the most important freight traf-
flc action taken for many months and
likely to cause protracted litigation.
1t affects the enormous -four traffic be-
tween the Minnesota territory and
the East, exclusive of shipments for
export.
Freight tariffs recently were filed
with the commission by the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha rail-
way reducing the rate on -four from
Minnesota transfer points via Duluth
and the lakes to New York from %
to 21h cents hundred pounds. Con-
currently the Western trunk lines
filed similar tariff via Chicago. Both
tariffs are made effective Oct. next.

Absolutely Convinced That His Throne

Officers of the Various Provinces
That They viii Be Held Personally
Responsible for Any Further Growth
of the Outbreak.
Madrid, Sept 21.-The center of the
uprising against the government is in
the neighborhood of Valencia.
Reports received by Premier Ca
nalejas stated that $500 we'll armed
and equipped revolutionists, led by a
former army officer, are marching on
that city. They hope to take advan-
tage of the Industrial conditions there,
gain possession of the city and from
there direct a campaign against the
present government.
Additional troops are being rushed
to the city and 1t is likely that a
pitched battle will be fought In the
vicinity of Valencia If the revolution
lists are as strong and as well armed
as reported.
The telegraph lines leading into Va
lencia have been destroyed by the
revolutionists and the nearest point
of communication is seyenty-five miles
from the city.
The latest reports from the city
proper said that the police and cav
airy, by series of desperate charges,
managed to dispense the mass of riot
ers, who throughout the night held
possession of the Plaza del MercadOs.
There were severe casualties on both
sides.
Troops now hold the approaches to
the Alameda and the botanical gar
dens, as the rioters had threatened to
destroy both. Guards are also posted
about the University of Valencia,
many of whose students are known to
hold revolutionary beliefs.
Torpedo Boats to Protect Harhor.
Torpedo boats were sent to villa
neuva del Grao, the seaport Of valen-
cia, and they will prevent revolution
lists doing damage to the harbor there.
The latest reports received from
Saragossa state that the situation
there continues grave. There was
much street fighting during the night
and It was finally necessary for the
cavalry repeatedly to charge the
crowd to clear the main streets. The
narrow thoroughfares on the outslkirts
of the city are still held BY strikers
and their sympathizers and the guards
about the municipal buildings have
been greatly increased.
