SUSPENDS MEAT RATE RISE.
Commerce Commission Holds Up Until
April IS Proposed Increases.

Washington, Dec. l6.-Proposed in.
creases in freight rates on livestock
| fresh meats and packing house products
from Chicago, st. Louis and other wes-
tern centres to eastern cities were sus-
pended Monday by the interstate COM
merce commission until April Is, for in
vestigation.
1t is estimated that, had the increased
rates been permitted to 60 into effect
they would have yielded to the roads
an added income of nearly $l0000,000
annually. Vigorous protests were made
to the commission not only by the meat
packers and livestock producers, but also
by the general consuming public The
commission, in its order, did net pass
upon the reasona bleness or the unrea-
sonableness of the proposed advances,
but indicated that they would be made
the subject OF an investigation to be
held later.

PORTUGAL TO PLAY ITS PART.
Fate of Nation, Says Premier, Being De,
cided on Battlefelds of Europe

Lisbon, Dee l6. Via Paris The
chamber OF deputies Monday adopted a
resolution declaring its confidence in the
new ministry by vote of SO TO 80, but
a similar resolution in the Senate was
rejected by vote of q to 26.
A defence Of the Republican regime
and the execution of the various meas
ures and resolutions voted by the Portu-
guese parliament on Nov. %, concerning
the participation of the country in the
war in Europe or other parts OF the
world where Portugal may be called to
take up arms either in defence Of her
territory, or by reason of treaty obIi-
cations with Great Britain, were the
principal points in the ministerial dec
laration read in parliament by the new
premier, Victor Countinho In addition
to assuring the defence of the colonies,
the government viii leave nothing un-
done to enable Portugal TO bear its part
in the war, being convinced that the
future and the independence of the coun-
try viii be decided as much on the bat
tlefelds Of Europe as in the colonies. The
declaration added that the government

DEMOCRATS IN
SENATE OPPOSE
WILSON METHOD
Insurgency Appears to Be Increasing as
Result of President Ignoring
Senators in Appoint
ments.

Washington, Dec. l6.--To what extent
insurgency against the administration h
arising in Senate Democratic circles was
a theme discussed in the cloakrooms anC
corridors at the north end of the capitol
yesterday. The unexpected action of the
Senate in rejecting unanimously the
to be United States attorney for the
] western district Of New York is regarded
by many as the beginning of serious
! trouble between the White House and a
number Of Democratic senators who for
some time have been chatting over the
domination of the legislative branch of
the government by the executive.
Having rejected Lynn for the reason
that he was politically Objectionable to
Senator O'Gorman and because the presi-
dent ignored the wishes of Senator 0'Gor-
man in making the appointment, the
Senate is expected to take more rig
orous course hereafter in regard to nom
nations A strong disposition is mani
tested to refuse to confirm nominees
when they are chosen against the wishes
Of a Democratic senator from the state
involved-who under the usual practice
is entitled to be consulted Many predict
that the action in the case Of Lynn is the
forerunner of wide breach between the
president and strong element of his
party in the Senate.
O'Gorman has opposed the wishes Of
the administration in number of mat
tiers before the Senate. Senator MARITIME
is Directing to the confirmation of George
Hampton of New Jersey as collector of
internal revenue. Senator Reed is out
for the scalp of a political opponent who
was appointed postmaster of Kansas
City, and there are mutterings of other
troubles. As with the Taft admnistra-
ton the White House now is Furnishing
recalcitrants in Congress by
them patronage. Taft's policy
made them no end Of trouble and in
creased insurgent activity in both Sen
ate and House.
II remains to be seen whether this will |
be the effect of President Wilson's policy |
or the Democratic instructors will be |
driven into submission.

the rope was put around the neck OF
the culprit. IL was intended that the
hook should relieve the strain entire

The deputy was obliged to let him

EXPECT BRITISH

A Violation of Neutrality
Is the Predic-
ton

Buenos Ayres, Dec. l6.-Two British
cruisers are reported to be waiting il
the Straits of Magellan, off Punta Are
mas, for the German cruiser Dresden, tho
sole survivor of the squadron of Admiral
Won Spec which engaged the British fleet
of Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee
off the Falkland islands.
Reports reaching here are mostly from
| o-German sources, since the British
have totally cut off wireless communi-
cation with the Falklands. These Ger
man reports declare that the two Brit
ish have totally cut off wireless comnm-
nication with the Falklands. These Ger
man reports declare that the two British
vessels have indicated their intention not
TO respect the neutrality laws in regard
to the Dresden The vessel, the British
ships are said to have asserted, must
either come out and fight or surrender.
The Chilean government is reported to
have taken action to maintain its neu
trality in the situation growing out of
the arrival of the Dresden at Punta Are
mas. The government will register Wig
orous protest if the Dresden is attacked
inside the three mile limit.
The captain OF the Dresden has in
formed the German consul az Punta Are
mas that the British fleet which attacked
the Germans off the Falkland islands in
cuded two battle cruisers of the Irwin
chile type and six other cruisers. These
vessels, the captain stated, were the Car
narvon, Cornwall, Essex, Bristol, Defence
and Glasgow.
Charges OF alleged violation OF neu-

to Brazil. The Glasgow, it is alleged,
