FINDS HARD COAL
RATES EXCESSIVE

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Sweeping re-
auctions in the anthracite freight rates
on railroads handling 80 per cent Of
the countrys anthracite production
were ordered by the interstate COM
merce commission. The decision OF
the commission held the carriers gull
ty of giving illegal preferential treat
ment to allied coal companies.
In addition to prescribing generally
lower rates the commission required
the roads to establish through routes
and publish joint through rates to be
paid by all shippers.
Commissioner Harlan, the only mem
Der dissenting from the majority, con-
tended that while modification of
many of the present coal rates is JUS
tilted, this action is inconsistent in
view OF the recent authorization Of a
horizontal increase of per cent in
rates for practically all other traffic.
The decision follows a long and COM
brehensive investigation Of the rates
and practices governing the transpor-
tation of coal from the Pennsylvania

SMALL INCREASE
IN RAILWAY RATES

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE inter.
state commerce commission has given
it's decision in the Western freight
rate case, allowing advances in BIZ
luminous coal, coke, fruit and vege-
tables, and denying increases on
grain, live stock, packing house prod
ucts, fertilizers and broomcorn. The
decision allows some of the increases
asked and denies almost an equal
number.
The decision affects freight rates
mainly west of the Mississippi and In
the Southwest. 1t affects, indirectly,
every railroad in the United States,
and the commission served notice of
it's action upon 1890 great and small
lines. The decision denies all the
more important increases. The ad-
vances granted are, in the viewpoint
of the commission. of relatively little
significance.
The region more particularly affect
ed by the decision embraces Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakotas.
Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas.
Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas.
Oklahoma, New Mexico, and the coal
traffic area of Indiana, Kentucky and
Alabama.

REPLY REJECTS
| AUSTRIAN VIEWS
United States Defends Sale Of
War Supplies.
PURSUING NEUTRAL COURSE
Note Recalls That Germany and Aus.
tria Sold War Munitions to Eng.
land in Boes Campaign.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The state de.
partment made public the reply of the
United States rejecting views set
forth by the Austro-Hungarian gov
eminent in a recent note contending
that expectation of war munitions
from America to Austria's enemies
was conducted on such a scale as to
be mot in consonance with the det1ni-
ton of neutrality"
Though friendly in language and
tone, the note fatty denies the Aus
tro-H Hungarian contentious and re-
calls that that country and Germany
furnished munitions of war to Great
Britain during the Boer war, when
Englands enemies could not import
such supplies.
1t insists that the American gov
eminent is pursuing strictly nell
trail course and adhering to prin.
ciple upon which it would depend for
munitions in the markets of the world
in case it should be attacked by
foreign power.
'The principles of international
law" the communication concludes,
"the practice of nations, the national
safety of the United States and other
nations without great military and
naval establishments, the prevention
of increased armies and navies, the
adoption of peaceful methods for the
adjustment of international differ
ences and finally neutrality itself, are
opposed to the prohibition by ne,l-
trail nation of the expectation of arms.
ammunition or other munitions of
war to belligerent powers during the
progress of the war"
Produced Great Surplus.
Attention is directed to the fact
that Austria-Hungary and Germany
before the war produced a great sur
plus of war munitions and sold them
throughout the world, especially to
belligerents," and that never during
that period did either Of them suggest
or apply the principle now advocated
by the imperial and royal govern
ment."
The note points out particularly
that during the Boer war between
Great Britain and the South African
republic the latter were in situa-
ton almost identical with that occu-
pied by Germany and Austria at the
present time and that, Tin spite of the
commercial isolation Of one belliger-
ent, Germany sold to Great Britain,
the other belligerent, hundreds of
thousands of kilos of explosives, gun
powder, shot and weapons, and Aus
tria-Hungary also sold similar NUM-.
lions to the same purchaser, though
in smaller quantities."
In this connection, a table Of sales
by Germany and Austria to Great
Britain during the Boer war is ap-
pended to the note and it is suggested
that, had Austria and Germany refus-
ed to sell arms to Great Britain at
that time ION the ground that to do
so would violate the spirit of strict
neutrality, the imperial and royal
government might with greater con-
sistency and greater force urge its
present contention"
The note was cabled to Ambassador
Penlield at Vienna Aug. IL. No word
of its delivery has yet been received.
