RITE LI IS NOW
BINDINGQNRDADS
None Has Yet Complied With
the Section Requiring
Tariffs Filed.
MORE TIME TO BE GIVEN
Coal Roads Want Ruling on Com
modity Provision All Extras
Included in Rates Accounts
. Are to ' Be Uniform.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27. The new railroad
rate law, which applies to all railroads
doing an interstate business, will go into
effect at midnight tonight. It will bo en
forced by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. According to the new law, the
roads were to have filed with the Com
mission by midnight all their tariffs and
charges, showing not only the full cost of
transportation from point to point, but
also what items go to the making up of
this cost. From tomorrow on there can
be no "extras," .but the shipper 1b ex
pected to be able to obtain In advance a
final statement of the charge he has to
meet.
More Time to File Tariffs.
' It was stated that in fact not a single
company has been able to comply fully
with the provisions of the law requiring
them to have all their schedules on file
by midnight. The schedule of switching
charges was the most difficult of com
pletion and it is said that no road has
been able to finish it in time to file as tne
law directed. Under the law every com
pany which fails to complete its sched
ules may be fined, but it is understood
that the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion will give additional time in every
cane when a road has given evidence of
sincere Intent to comply with the' law.
To discuss this and other points, a com
mittee representing the big Eastern rail
roads will go to Washington tomorrow in
order to meet the Commission. This con
ference will be attended by representa
tives of the anthracite coal roads, who
are anxious to obtain a ruling from the
Commission on that section of the law
which prohibits a railroad from carrying
from state to state any article manufac
tured, mined or produced by it, except
for its own use. This would include coal.
' All Charges in One Rate.
It is expected that shippers will find
themselves benefited by the provision
which requires the railroads to Include
all charges of whatsoever nature in their
quoted rates. Heretofore a shipper has
had to figure for himself on icing, refrig
erator and elevator charges and the doz
en or more other incidentals, dickering
with the separate companies which had a
hand in transportation or care of his ship
ment. Now the railroad must do that,
and the shipper meets but one charge and
deals with but one concern. All the
sources of side charges are consolidated,
and private cars, sidetracks, spurs, termi
nals and elevators are made subject to
the law. .
Uniform System of Accounts.
The new law also requires the railroads
to' establish a uniform system of account
ing and to keep their books open for in
spection at all times by the expert ac
countants of the Commission. This fea
ture is expected to go far toward abolish
ing the rebate evil of tHe past. The rail
road accountants are now conferring in
regard to the uniform system of booK
keeplng, which, however, will not go into
effect until June 1, next year. In the
meantime, the Commission has put its
own experts at work devising a system
which will be clear enough to suit the
Commission.
Forces of clerks from all express com
panies have been for the last few days re
vising express rates to comply with the
provisions of the rate bill, but have been
unable to finish their task in time to file
schedules with the Interstate Commerce
Commission before the bill became ef
fective. The public will reap no advan
tage from the rates. They will be no
lower.
V. P. Will Throw Out Armour Cars.
As a direct consequence of the provis
ions of the rate bill; the Union Pacific
Railway has determined to install its own
system of refrigerator cars. Heretofore
the Armour private cars have had a mo
nopoly of this business over the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific, with all the
profitable California fruit trade. Tne
Union Pacific today opened bids for the
construction of 6C0O steel underbody re
frigerator cars, and is likely to ask for.
bids for another lot soon.
Shippers to Confer With Board.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. The . execu
tive committee of the American Shippers'
Association will confer tomorrow with the
interstate .Commerce Commission as to
the discretionary powers granted the
Commission under the new law and will
discuss with the Commission the ques
tions on which the carriers have asked
a ruling. The executive committee in
formally discussed the questions in com
mittee today.
SHIPS DEWEY MADE OLD HULKS
Three Vessels Captured at Manila
Sold for $103.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Three Span
ish ships captured by Admiral Dewey In
Manila Bay May 1, 1S98, were sold by
the Navy Department today for $103.
These ships were advertised at several
Asiatis porta, total cost of advertising
being J28, and the Navy Department is
quite well satisfied that the bids were
sufficient to cover the expense of adver
tising. The three ships are the Albany,
Manlleno and Mindanao. They have been
stripped of everything movable and are
simply old hulks, practically useless for
Vny purpose of the Navy.
Large Salmon Catch .In Alaska.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Commission
er Bowers, of the Bureau of i'taheries,
returned today from a trip to Alaska,
where he went to inspect the fisheries.
He was in company with Solicitor Sims,
of the Department of Commerce and La
bor, who reported to this Government the
raid made on the fur seal rookeries by
the Japanese sealers, with results so dis
astrous to themselves. Mr. Bowers says
that the catch of red salmon in Alaskan
waters this season will be as large as it
has been in any season for many years.
The work of erecting the new fisheries
station in Alaska is proceeding well and
excellent results are expected from the
work of the Bureau of Fisheries In the
territory.
Latin-Americans Organize.
SAN JOSE. Costa Rica, Aug. 27. At
a general meeting of the Latin-American
Association held today a working
committee consisting of prominent
persons was appointed and Ricardo
Jlmlnez, who probably will be elected
president of Costa Rica in the ncjr
future, was elected president of the
committee. The association will . ap
point as honorary presidents all the
presidents of the Latin-American Fed
eration. The Costa Rican government
is not connected with the association.
TRY IT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Students of District Columbia May
Learn New Spelling.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 27. Superin
tendent Chancellor, of the District of
Columbia public schools announced to
day that he would introduce the sim
plified spelling system alternatively in
the higher grammar grades. The pupils
will be given their choice of the old or
the new. In the lower grades the old
system will be continued.
ELIOT OPPOSES ANY REFORM
Harvard . President Prefers Spelling
in Same Old Way.
NORTHEAST HARBOR. Me., Aug. 27.
Harvard will not stand for the Carnegie
Roosevelt innovation, according to Presi
dent Eliot, who is stopping here. Mr.
Eliot says the new style of spelling does
not, in the least, appeal to him.
"I suppose that President Roosevelt has
a right to write his messages in any style
of orthography to which he may incline,"
he remarked, "but I think it will be a
long time before such a Btyle as that
proposed becomes very popular. I do not
myself care for It, and I think the same
view Is held by a majority of educators.
There are some distinguished men, such
as President Butler, of Columbia, who
have long favored it, but I do not see
that their work has brought much of ac
complishment." The English will hardly adopt this new
system. It will mean not only that the
public printers would be obliged to maka
two sets of plates, but all the present
plates of the standard and popular works
would be rendered without value. It will
be found the people will not like the look
of 'thro' and 'tho' and words similarly
spelled."
Wins Over English Scholars.
NEW YORK, Aug., 27. The simplified
spelling board today announced that two
distinguished British scholars had ac
cepted memberships to testify their sym
pathy with the new movement to .im
prove English orthography. One is Dr.
J. A. H. Murray, the senior editor of
the great Oxford Dictionary of the Eng
lish Language, of which the associate
editor is Henry Bradley, who joined the
elmplified spelling . board some weeks
ago. The other is Prof. Joseph Wright,
editor of the English Dialect Diction
ary. Speaking of these recent accessions
Brander Matthews said:
"The simplified spelling board now
contains the editors of the three chief
English dictionaries published in Great
Britain. It had as original members the
editors of the three chief American dic
tionaries, Webster, the Century and the
Standard. The adhesion of the foremost
linguistic authorities . .of both branches
of the English-spelling race ought to be
reassuring to those who have dreaded
that the recommendations of the sim
plified spelling board might work harm
to our noble tongue or to etymology."
Newspaper Tries New Spelling.
WORCESTER, Mass., Aug. 27. The
news columns of the Telegram appeared
today with the spelling in phonetic form,
in accordance with rules adopted by
President Roosevelt recently. The plan
is being tried as an experiment for one
day only, though It is explained that as
the newspaper has for some time followed
the phonetic spelling in 16ft of the 300
cases mentioned in the rules, the innova
tion is not so great as might at first ap
pear. In order to carry out the idea
through all the news columns extra help
was requiredLin several departments ot
the paper.
SURRENDER FOR AMNESTY
(Continued From Page 1.)
further disturbance every few years. Sup
pressing the insurgents will now forever
more guarantee the stability of Cuban
institutions, while dickering with them
would expose" the country to another dis
turbance of peace in the near future".
"This is my first resolution," President
Palma declared, "and I shall maiatain
it."
"I understand my duties and respon
sibilities to the people. Such is the
only method of defending Cuban insti
tutions and civilization."
Senor Palma referred to his own sac
rifices, long years in the field, impris
onment and services while a member of
the Junta, and said: "Poor, I returned
to my country as President, and poor
shall I return to private life. I shall,
however, have a clear record and a good
name. I am disposed to exhaust my
forces and shed my blood if necessary
In helping to strengthen the founda
tions of our prosperous republic."
POLICY OF REVOLUTIONISTS
Asbert Sends Palma Message Em
bodying Their Demands.
HAVANA, Aug. 27. From the field Col.
onel Asbert has .sent the following mes
sage to the palace:
"We have taken up arms against the
government because we have Teached the
conclusion that law and justice are not
to be established In this country by the
will of the government and because the
administration, protected by anunscrupu
lous judiciary, daily commits outrages
upon the constitution and despoils our
people of their legitimate rights. It is
our sole desire to establish the supreme
rule of law and restore affairs where
they were before the last election. We
want new elections called, in order that
the people, exercising with the fullest
freedom the right of suffrage, may elect
the men who ought to occupy the posts
of President and Vice-President, as well
as Governors, Senators, Representatives
and Provincial Councllmen of the Repub
lic. "We do not intend to wage a bloody
war, because we look carefully when it
comes to the point of sacrificing our
brothers. Only when we are attacked by
government forces will .we attempt' to
defend ourselves, even when averting
bloodshed as far as possible. We gave
proof of our intentions in the fight of
Flor de Mayo, wherein the forces of -the
government which attacked us were dis
persed. In that attack we had the oppor
tunity hafl we desired, to make the most
of It, and kill the majority of those who
attacked us, but we generously refrained.
"We are satisfied with our work, for it
will be the greatest guarantee of the
pacific stability of .the Republic. We un
derstand that when this people shall be
in possession of their legitimate rights
the expense of this new free territory
will be assured. Certainly it has merited
the moral peace that nations need."
INSURGENTS TAKE BEJUCAL
Fortify Town and Hold It All Night
Against Rnrals.
HAVANA, Aug. 27. A party of insur
gents commanded by Colonel Sanchez en
tered the town of Bejucal, Province of
Havana, at 11 o'clock last night, fortified
itself and fought all night against an at
tacking force of government recruits and
rural guards without any other result
than three of the defenders of the place
and one rural guard being killed.
PUN-OF HOME-RULE
British Cabinet Proposes Irish
Council.
ONE-CHAMBER PARLIAMENT
All Classes to Be Represented and
Responsible Cabinet Provided.
Union yWith England and
Scotland Not Affected. ,
LONDON, Aug. 28.-The Dally Chronicle
this morning, ' forecasting the govern
ment's proposed representation scheme
for Ireland, says legislative union will
not be touched, and that Irish representa
tion at Westminster and the powers of
the Imperial Parliament will not be
changed. The chief feature will be the
establishment of an Irish Council at Dub
lin, directly elected, consisting of 103
members, the same as the Irish represen
tation in the House of Commons, with
th addition of 48 councillors directly
elected for larger areas by electors hav-

ing ratable value exceeding $100, peers
and clergymen being eligible. JThis is al
most the same as the Legislative Council
and Legislative Assembly of Gladstone's
bill; only they form one body, and not
two. The Nationalist party as now or
ganized would not easily gain a large
majority in the Council.
The Chief Secretary would, under the
new scheme, be ex-officio chairman of the
Irish Council, and, as representing the
Lord Lieutenant, would consult with the
leader of the majority in the Council re
garding the appointment of the chief
heads of departments, the head of the
finance department occupying a position
analogous to that of Premier, who, with
his colleagues, would hold their posts de
pendent upon the vote of the Council.
The scheme includes the reorganization
of the Irish government into well-defmed
departments, such as finance, land, edu
cation, etc. The judiciary will not be mo
lested. The Chief Secretary will be
spokesman for the Council and its Min
isters to Parliament. All Irish legislation
will still come before the House of Com
mons, bills being sent there by the Coun
cil. Financial arrangements will be the crux
of the scheme. Simplicity will be aimed
at, the elaborate provisions of previous
home rule bills not being revived. .
The Daily Chronicle seems to intimate
that Irish members of the House of Com
mons will be members of the Council,
which would sit when the Imperial Par
liament is not sitting.
The whole scheme will be open for re
vision after five years.

The healthy color of the skin Is given to it by the millions of little red
corpuscles in the blood. These are the carriers of nourishment, health and
strength to all parts of the body in other words the very life of the
blood. When the germs of Malaria get into this vital fluid they destroy
these corpuscles and rob the blood of its rich, lifes-ustaining qualities, ren
dering it thin, weak and-watery and unable to supply the system with the
needed strength to resist disease. Then the symptoms of Malaria such a3
pale, sallow complexions, weak vitality, poor appetite, deranged digestion, a
general "let down" condition of the system, and perhaps chills and slight
fever, show that this insidious disease i3 gradually affecting the entire health.
Malaria must be removed from the system through the circulation, and the
medicine to accomplish this is S. S. S. It not only cleanse3 the blood of all
impure, unhealthy matter, but rids the system of Malaria, and restores the
blood to a strong, healthy condition. S. S. S., besides removing the germs
of Malaria, builds up and gives tone and vigor to the entire system by its
fine tonic effects. Malaria is a blood disease, and S. S. S. cures it because
it is a perfect blood purifier. Book on the blood and any medical advice
