ask HIGHER RATES ON COTTON
RAILROADS PROPOSE INCREASE
IN WESTERN TERRITORY.
Means Of Raising Annual Revenues
$1o,ooo,ooo Considered at Hear.
Ing Of Petition in Chicago.

Chicago, March 22.-Proposed in
creases in freight rates on cotton piece
goods in western territory, upon
which. with proposed increases on GER
tain other commodities, the Al west
ern railroad systems hope to increase
their annual revenue, it is said, &c.,
100000. were considered at the Inter-
state Commerce commissions hearing
Of the railroads petition.
8. H. johnson, assistant freight traf-
fic manager Of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific road, testified the in
crease the railroads asked for would
amount to six-tenths of one cent for a
S00-mile haul on shipment valued at
81. He exhibited figures purporting
to show that this would not be exces.
sive compared to freight charges on
other commodities and that it would
not be more. IL as much, as the charge
on the same commodity in eastern ter
ritory.
Revenue Not Sufficient.
Considering that cotton piece goods
is practically the only article which
moves in less than carload lots that is
given commodity rate. he said, the
present yield Of revenue was not suf-
ficient as the article required more
handling and more bookkeeping than
commodities carried only in carload
lots.
He said as the Kansas City 1obber
quotes the same retail price for cot
ton goods as does the st. Louis jobber,
the Kansas City jobber had, therefore,
to absorb the higher cost of transport
alton from the east and consequently
the Missouri river points were con-
stantly asking for lower rates.

COLOMBIAN AND NIcARAGUAN
TREATIES ASSIGNED AS REA.

MEETING IN OCTOBER.
CL0TURE RULE PLANNED
TO STOP LONG DEBATE
Administration Would Give This
Answer to the Fight on the Ship
Purchase Bill, II 10 Said
Effort to "Smash Roose.
welt" 10 Suspected.

Washington, March 22.-That the
Senate would be called in extra ses.
sion in October was given out here
confdenttally by senator in close
touch with the administration.
The approval of the Colombian and
Ntcaraguan treaties are to be assigned
as the reasons, plus the proposition Of
formulating cloture rule for the SEN
ate. Both reasons are political In char.
acter.
To Dtscredit Roosevelt.
The Nicaraguan treaty. concerning
which little is known, is likely to COM
mend itself to the American public.
The Colombian treaty, based on an
apparent openness Of conception, is
really designed to smash Roosevelt"
It is expected this action will discredit
the manner in which the former presi-
dent secured the Panama canal strip
and in this manner discredit the
colonel.
The other purpose, namely, the clo-
ture rule of the senate, is the admin
1stratton's answer to the fight on the
ship purchase bill. The administra.
ton does not like to admit an open
defeat on this measure. It is recog-
nized that it is dead SO far as the
next session is concerned, unless the
house should be more tractable than
is indicated. In the event that the
house should become tractable. It is
recognized that cloture will have to
be applied in the senate to get It past
that body.
Defeat Of Ship Bill.
II the house should prove as insur.
gent as it is likely to be, then the
administration can go before the coun.
try and say 1t passed the ship pur.
chase bill in the house, but could not
get 1t through the senate because the
minority filibustered the will of the
majority out Of existence. It is pre-.
sumed the measure to determine a clio.
ture rule for the senate will prove
popular, SO the administration can 70
before the country with two issues,
One that it abolished interminable de.
bate in the senate and the other that
the ship purchase bill was good bill,
that It was defeated by a minority,
and that this defeat was really a vic.
tory in that 1t brought about cloture
in the senate.

ade Has Passed.

Washington, March 22.-While the
United States government does not
know officially as yet whether Great
Britain and her allies intend to main
tain legal blockade or propose to
apply general rules of contraband and
noncontraband in enforcing their en-
barge on commercial Intercourse be-
tween Germany and neutral countries.
American naval officers and officials
versed in international law expressed
the opinion that the indefinite limit
Observation-Disclosures waters, includ-
ing the Mediterranean-might be con-
strued as legal area Of operations
for . blockading feet.
In the formulation of the policy Of
the United States relative to the treat
ment Of neutral shipping by the allied
fleets, naval officers of high rank have
constantly been consulted, so that in
none Of the diplomatic communications
sent abroad might there be anything
said which would compromise the &C.
tivities Of the American fleet itself In
possible future wars.
Limit Of Blockade Asked.
Much consideration is given by the
conferences Of officials to the newly
developed activity Of submarines. It is
frankly admitted by the naval officers
that the old form Of blockade by war
ships close to an enemy coast passed
with the investment Of Santiago in the
Spanish-American war. Accordingly,
in the message Of inquiry to Great
Britain and France asking for an ex-
PLANTATION Of their recent declaration
Of embargo. the United States con-
coded that the activity of submarines
might make physically impossible q
close blockade Of an enemy coast, and
suggested that IL the declaration OF
the allies were to be construed al q
legal blockade, some radius of activ.
ity" be announced.
This principle Of radius Of activ.
ity" for q blockading feet was a sub.
ject Of much discussion at the inter
national naval conference ct London
in 1909.

British Warships Glasgow, Drama and

gagement Lasted Only
Five Minutes.

London, March 1.-THE German
cruiser Dresden, a rival of the EN-
den. has been sunk, according to a
statement Just issued by the British
admiralty. The Dresden. since the war
began. has gained a reputation as q
destroyer of commercial ships almost
equal to that Of the Emden. The ORES.
den did most of her raiding in the
South Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The engagement occurred off Juan
Fernandez island, the admiralty an.
nounced. The British warships Glas-
gov, Drama and Kent trapped the
Dresden and closed in upon her. After
five minutes of action, during which
heavy damage was inflicted on the
German cruiser. she hauled down her
colors and ran up the white flag of
surrender.
White Flag 10 Run Up.
The Dresden was aflame when the
white flag was run up. A magazine
had exploded and her upper works
were afire. Her crew was quickly taken
of by boats from the British war
ships. Flames spread rapidly and with
successive explosions the Dresden
quickly went to the bottom.
Fifteen wounded of the crew of the
Dresden were landed at Valparaiso.
There were no English casualties, the
admiralty announced. The engage.
ment occurred on Sunday. March IA.
ESCAPED In Former Fiuht,
The Dresden was memper Of the
German squadron which was defeated
by the British squadron of the Falk.
land Islands in December. She was
the only one Of five German warships
to escape. The Dresden was said to
have fed to the westward, but there
had been no definite reports as to her
whereabouts since that time. She was
reported unofficially to have been seen
in the straights Of Magellan and later
to be in hiding in one Of the bays on
the Chilean coast.
The Dresden was a sister ship of the
famous Emden which was sunk of
Cocos Island in the Indian Ocean by
the Australian cruiser Sydney, after
an adventurous career.
The sinking of the Dresden leaves
at large on the high seas, so far as is
known, only the cruiser Karlsruhe
last reported as operating in the West
Indies and the auxiliary cruiser Kror
Prinz Wilhelm, which is still raidine
commerce in the South Atlantic.
Before the outbreak of the war thu
Dresden was assigned to the West In
dies station and just prior to the be
ginning of hostilities, she took Vic

Leather Of the Eqvptian..


The ancient Egyptians were skilled
in the art Of tanning leather and man
ufactured it in various ways and for
various purposes besides that of fur
nishing covering for the feet. Indeed,
1t is to those builders of the pyramids
that we are indebted for the first artis-
tic forms Of footwear, and, so far as
can be ascertained from history and
the researches Of archaeologists, the
Egyptians were the first. shoemakers
who We're worthy Of that name. It is
fact, too, that tanners of today en-
ploy very much the same methods
as did the ancients. About the same
materials are used, and the processes
are almost precisely similar to those
in vogue hundreds Of years ago. It is
true that tanners Of the present day
have found means Of greatly short
ening the time required to convert a
hide into leather and that steam power
and modern machinery have done
much to expedite and improve the
processes Of finishing the leather; but,
after oil, the principles Of tanning re-
main the same as they have been from
the London Globe.
