RULINGS OF COMMISSION Siew Rate Law .Requires Xotlce of Joint Rates Xotice Required of All Special and Excursion Passenger Rates. "WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. In an opinion made public today the Interstate Cora merca Commission takes important action In construing the new railroad law and providing general rules applying to Joint tartnt rates on new lines and to commuta tion mileage and excursion rates. The rulings are as follows: "ray men t for transportation Nothing but money can be lawfully received or accepted in payment for transportation subject to the act, whether of passenger or property or for any service in connec tion therewith, It being the opinion of the Commission that the prohibition against charging or collecting a greater or less or different compensation than the es- . lamisned rates In effect at the time pre eludes the acceptances of services, prop erty or other payment In lieu of the amount of monoy specified in the pub lished schedules. Notice of Joint Rates. "Notice of changes in rates Where two or more connecting carrlem establish a Joint rate which is less or greater than the sum of their local rates, such Joint rate is a change of rates and requk-es a notice of 30 days. In such cases the Joint rate, when duly established and In force, becomes the only lawful rate for through Transportation. "New roads On new lines of roads, In eluding branches and extensions of ex isting roads, cut rates may be established In the first instance and also Joint rates to and from points on such new line with out notice, on posting a tariff of such rates and filing the same with the Com mission. , Law Covers Excursion Rates. "Round-trip excursion rates It is the opinion of the Commission that the pro visions of the amended sixth section in respect to the publishing, filing and post ing of tariffs apply to the mileage, ex cursion and commutation rates author ised by the 22d section. Such a rate, when first established or offered, is held to be a change of rates, which requires a notice of 30 days. No reason appears why this notice should not be given In the case of mileage rates, commutation rates, round-trip rates or other reduced rates, which, like ordinary passenger rates, are established for an Indefinite period and appear to be a matter of permanent policy. Strictly excursion rates, however, covering a named and limited period, are of a different character in this regard, and may be established on much shorter notice. Length of Notice Required. "To avoid the necessity for special ap plication in cases of this kind, the Com mission has made a general order fixing the following named time of round-trip excursion rates and carriers may govern themselves accordingly. "Rates for an excursion limited to a designated period of not more than three days may be established without further notice upon posting a tariff one day In advance in two public and conspicuous places in the waiting-room of each station where tickets for such excursions are sold and mailing a copy to the Commis sion. "Rates for an excursion limited to a designated period of more than three days and not more than 30 days, may be es tablished upon a notice of three days In place of the 30 days' notice otherwise re quired by the amended sixth section. "Rates for an excursion limited to a designated period exceeding 30 days will require the statutory notice, unless short er time Is allowed in special cases by the Commission. RCLIN'GS OX NEW RATE LAW Only Money Pajs Freight Joint Rates Legal Rates. WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. The Inter state Commerce Commission today ren dered a most Important decision in the matter of the applications from various railroads giving administrative construc tion to certain provisions of the new rail road rate laws. Briefly, they held that mrith regard to payments for transpor tation, nothing but money can be le gally received. With regard to notices of changes in rate, the Joint rate of one or more con necting carriers is held to be the legal rate, and any change requires 39 days' notice. With regard to the round trip excur sion rates, the Commission makes three rulings, the most important being that these may be changed at one day's notice. This Office Sought the Man. WASHINGTON. Sept. 18. Pay Director Rogers, of the Navy, who has recently been designated to succeed Paymaster General Harris and who has been or dered to Washington to familiarize him self with his new duties, is said to be one of the few officers eligible to ap pointment as Chief of the Bureau who did not have an application on file ask ing for the place, or whose friends had not Interested themselves In his behalf. President Roosevelt, In looking over the list of ellgibles, was impressed with the fact that Pay Director Rogers had not applied for the place, and he at once caused a letter to be written to him ask ing him if he would accept the place. The letter was the first intimation Mr. Rogers had that he was being consid ered. Philippine Cavalry Need Horses. WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. Major-General Weston, in his annual report of the Department of Luzon, Philippine Islands, refers to an Inspection of the troops of his command, and says: "Troops, including scouts, were found In good condition as to instruction for field service. Owing to the scarcity of horses, many men of the cavalry were dismounted. Many horses were too old, too large and worth too much. I am of the opinion that horses should not exceed 15 H hands high and weigh be tween 950 a"d 1100 pounds. I think, too it would be well to send a board of cavalry officers to Australia, where I am told an active, well-built horse at n moderate price Is obtainable." New Meat Regulations Issued. WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. Secretary Wilson today promulgated the regula tions under the new meat inspection law governing the transportation of meat In Interstate and foreign commerce.

FEUD ABOUT MANCHURIA Japanese Army Wants Military Con trol, Diplomats Oppose. VICTORIA. B. C. Sept. 18. The steam er Empress of India, which arrived yes terday from the Orient, brought news of serious differences in the Japanese Cab inet regarding Japanees actions in Man churia. Viscount Hayashi, formerly Min ister to Great Britain, resigned the post of Foreign Minister In Premier Salonlji's Cabinet because of the action taken re garding the South Manchurlan Railway system, which Japan took over as a gov ernment concern. Japanese vernacular, papers pointed out that the quarrel Is really a fight between diplomacy, headed by Viscount Hayashi," and militarism, headed by Marquis Yamagata. The mili tary section opposes the opening of Man churia, and moreover wish to control the Manchurlan Railway as a strategical line, while the diplomatic section has declared for the opening of Manchuria and seeks to subordinate militarism while fighting for the commercial development by Japan of South Manchuria, The military section which sought to appoint the late Field Marshal Kodama In charge of the Man churlan Railway system asks to appoint a military governor who would. In effect, control the line. It was in protest to this arrangement that Viscount Hayashi re signed. One Toklo paper points out the efforts of the military section have more than once occasioned relations of more or less unsatisfactory character with America and England regarding Manchuria. TOKIO, Sept. IS. It was semi-officially announced today that Viscount Hayashi will forthwith resume the office of For eign Minister, which he resigned recent ly. It is believed there is now a com plete understanding between him and. Premier Saonyl. CONFESSES HER WEAKNESS China Admits Despotism Is Cause. Cabinet to Bo Formed. VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. 18. Advices by the Empress of India from China state that the Imperial rescript grant ing a constitution Includes a . re markable confession of China's im potence. The rescript says that the wealth and influence of foreign powers is due to the possession of constitutional government, while China, struggling un der adverse conditions, descended from ancient times, grows gradually weaker. In the rescript It is pointed out that re form and reorganization of the adminis tration, promotion of education, reform of the financial system, betterment of military defenses, and establishment of better police systems Is necessary before the constitution can come into force. Japanese correspondents at Pekln state that a cabinet is to be formed with Prince Ching as the first Premier, with Yuan Shih Kai, chief of the general staff; Tung Shao Yl, who was educated in the United States, as Foreign Minister, and Duke Tsal, one of the Commissioners, as Home Minister. He Is seeking to have Chinlse adopt clothes similar to those of the West and abolish the queue. FAMINE FUNDS EMBEZZLED Three Prefects in Northern Japan Accused of Robbing Hungry. VICTORIA. B. C.

Japan. Factions in Cuba Can't Get Get Together on Peace. . HE WILL ARRIVE: TODAY Insurgents' Armies Will Unite. Near Havana, but Keep Away While Hope Lasts All Conspira tors to Be Released. HAVANA, Sept. 18. Notwithstanding some appearance of activity, no decisive progress was made today in the peace negotiations. A few peaceseekers went westward in automobiles with the Idea of conferring with Pino Guerra, the Insurgent leader in Pinar del Rio Prov ince, and others visited Loynaz del Cas tillo, the commander of the Insurgent 1 forces In Havana Province, but the only definite thing reported Is that the in surgents in the field are not willing to enter on negotiations until all the con spiracy prisoners shall have been re leased. While It is possible that those most highly responsible may reach a basis of agreement in time to present it to Sec retary Taft and Assistant Secretary Bacon when they land here tomorrow, there is nothing to show that such a basis has been'reached as yet, and there is evidence that if it has been reached It will not be accepted by the insurgent following. . May Leave It All to Taft. Considerable earnestness has been shown by some of the leaders looking to ward a settlement of acceptable terms, but others, notably so among the Mod erates, appear to be satisfied to let the case rest as It Is until It can be ad judicated by President Roosevelt's repre sentatives. The rebels are more anxious to place themselves in a position which may be considered at least as strong as that of the Government, and conse quently they are more persistently ac tive. General Menocal stated to the Asso ciated Press tonight that the important part of his mission was ended when he brought the leaders together. The Lib erals feel that they have accomplished something In procuring the release of the alleged conspirators more recently ar rested, and In Inducing a cessation of hostilities. Some of their leaders also re mark on the fact that the cessation of hostilities was the act of the govern ment. While no acceptable hasts of peace ap pears to have been suggested by either side, the Impression is general that Mr. Taft will take up the work of peace making with small consideration for past grievances, the main idea being rather constructive measures for the future. The newest feature of the revolution Is the appearance of Americans from the Isle of Pines, complaining that officials of the Isle of Pines are searching the aSffiSffifflinSBBfnSBP AMOLEK HARROW C10PIC0 SHJUttft QUARTER SIZtt ID un , a PUH IB OINT CLUETT, PCASOOY CO. tttff" O CLUCTT AM MOtOW IMMTI Tutt's PHIs Cure All Liver Ills.
