"FEEDER" BITES HALTED TARIFFS OF MIDDLE WEST RAIL- ROADS 6CSPEXDED. Interatate Commerce Commission Bar 25 Per Cent Increaao In Cattle Toll Until December. WASHINGTON. Aug- . Freight tar iffs which Increase by 15 per cent the transportation charges for "feeding cattle and sheep between Missouri River and Mississippi River transfers. Including Chicago, were suspended to day by the Interstate Commerce Com mission until December IX 1911. The proposed rates were filed with the commission by the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad and the Iowa Cen tral Railway, effective August 1. and by the Chicago. Burlington Qulncy Railroad, effective September 1 It Is probable other carriers will file simi lar rates, which will be auspended as they reach the commission. For many years freight tariffs filed fcy the railways between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers have provided that "feeding rattle" or "stock cattle" might be shipped at 75 per cent of the rate charged on "fat cattle" the reason for the difference being that the "feed ers" are concentrated during certain seasons at cattle markets for sale to stock raisers, and then are re-shipped to the ranges to be fattened. On shipments of this kind the rail ways obtain three hauls of tha same cattle from substantially the same mar keta. coming and going aa "feeders." and returning from the ranches as "fat" cattle.

MEASURES NOT REPORTED Much Objection Is Made to Provi sion Submitting: Questions of Difference to Joint High Commission. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Friends of the British and French arbitration treaties In the Senate have reached the conclusion that It will be necessary to amend the conventions In order to get favorable action upon them. This con clusion is the result of discussions by the Senate committee on foreign rela tions. After two prolonged sittings, the committee adjourned late today to meet again Saturday. Both meetings were devoted to the consideration of the documents on their merits, the first In company with Secretary Knox, and the second by the members alone. No effort waa made to have the treaties reported and It became ex tremely doubtful to some of the friends of the Administration whether such an effort would be wise at present. Provisions Objected To. Especial objection was made at both sittings to the provision submitting questions of difference to the joint high commission of Inquiry. Fault also was found with the provision in the French treaty authorizing ratifi cation by that government In accord ance with the procedure required by the laws of France, and with the con dition In the British treaty that mat ters affecting dependencies, of Great Britain ahall be submitted to the gov ernments of such dependencies. It was thought the latter clause might lead to undesirable complica tions, while It was feared that the former might necessitate a change In the methods of proceeding In this country." Power Real Obstacle. Nevertheless. It became evident that the power conferred on the Joint high commission Is the only real obstacle to early action. Several Senators ex pressed unalterable opposition to the provision and more than one sugges tion waa made that It should be elim inated or materially modified. No mo tion was made to this effect, but If there bad been a vote it probably would have carried. The magnitude of this criticism will be brought to the President's attention and some Sena tors will urge the cancellation of tha provision. At the afternoon session a sugges tion of the morning meeting that the whole question be postponed until De cember took tha shape of a motion to that effect. It waa made by Senator Clark, of Arkansas, but was withdrawn upon a general expression of opposi tion. In this connection the friends . of the treaties received the greatest en couragement that was given them dur ing the day. Many membera of the committee expressed themselves as friendly to the general proposition In volved In the treatlea. WATERWAYS TO BE SEEN Seattle Man Is Appointed to Scan Oregon Rivers. . WASHINGTON.
