St. Petersburg, July 21.—A dis- patch from Tabriz, by courier post to Julia, affirms that the shah's cause in northern Persia is lost. The artillery and ammunition which were abandoned by Rachin Khan, who was commander-in-chief of the troops during his flight from Tabriz, passed into the hands of the révolu tionists, who are now in full posses- sion of the city. The shah's palace | has been turned into the revolution­ ary headquarters. j The reactionaries, who had taken refuge in the Russian bank and the Russian consul, M. I’ohitinoff, have again retired to the consul's country villa outside tile city, which is being guarded by a large detachment of cossacks. The casualties resulting trout the recent bombardment ami I lighting between the troops and rev- olutionists were slight.

Washington, July 20.—The interstate commerce commission may take acti n on the increased freight rates agreed to at the meeting of the Southeastern Freight association and the Southeast ern Mississippi Yalley association, at Louisville, Ky., Saturday, when the new tariffs are filed with the commission by | the roads having niemliership in these I two associations. Action cannot be taken by the commission on its own in­ itiative or on the complaints of ship pers or shippers’ associations. If the interstate commerce commission should find that the increase in freight rates was nude through concerted action, and that there was evidence that the Shcr- man anti-trust law was violated, alien tion will in all probability be called to the matter. In speaking of the powers of the in­ terstate commerce commission where an advance in freight rates has been made by any railroad. Chairman Knapp, of the commission, said: "The railroads must file their tariffs with the commission with 30 days’ no­ tice of a contemplated change. Changes in rates between competitive points must be made simultaneously by all the roads operating between those points. This in a measure protects the shipper. When a railroad files notice of an increase in its freight rates the commission can on its own motion make an investigation as to the reasonableness of the advance. “In a case where the commission acts on its own motion, however, it cannot issue an order. If a shipper makes a complaint to the commission against a railroad charging an unjust increase of rates, each side is given a hearing, and the commission can then issue an order based oil its decision ill the case.” Should it develop that the increase was made through concerted action, the commission would very likely refer the matter to the attorney general. The department of justice can also call upon the c mmission to investigate as to the reasonableness in rates. PACIFIC COAST LOSER. Transcontinental Shippers Claim Rate Ruling Fatal to Oriental Trade. San Francisco, July 20.—The South ern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads and the Pacific Mail Steamship company are preparing to have a hearing before the interstate commerce commission on the question of transcontinental rates for goods shipped across the Pacific ocean. The new rule of the commis sion compels the railroads to charge the same price for these goods as for any other, whereas it had been etist tnary for the railroads to make this rate cheaper to the steamship companies. The information that the interstate commerce commission has decided to postpone until October the day on which the rate would become effective, because of a protest from Japan, has given the railroads and steamship company time to act. The plea will be made to the inter­ state commerce commission that steam­ ers traveling thr ugh the Suez canal will get the trade if the transcontinental roads are not allowed to juggle rates as they please. The steamers change their rates often and quickly, they say, and if the American railroads arc com pelled to adhere to the published rate they will lose this oriental business.

Chicago, July 18.—A special to the Tribune from Washington says: In the opinion of John Clements, a member of the interstate commerce commission, the proposed general in­ crease in freight rates discussed ir. New York yesterday by the presi­ dents of many eastern railways m the Trunk Line association would constitute a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and would render al! the railroads concerned liable to se­ vere penalties. Mr. Clements ex­ plained that the interstate commerce commission as a commission is not at all interested in the Sherman anti­ trust law, the execution of which is entrusted to the department of jus­ tice, but he expressed his opinion as a lawyer and cited a recent instance where the supreme court had so de­ cided. “As a lawyer,” he said, “I am will- ling to hazard the opinion that such an increase in rates as was contem­ plated by the eastern railways at their meeting in New York would be in direct violation of the anti trust law. When practically all of the eastern roads, and,, for that matter, ill of the roads in the country, by a mutual agreement raise rates, it is to my mind a procedure which brings them under ! ——. that clause —j of the anti trust law which prevents ‘pooling’ and illegal combinations, "Whether or not there is any neces­ sity now for an increase of rates. I am not prepared to say. If the increase should come, the commissioners would have ample time to decide that point. I am convinced, however, that the railways will give the anti-trust laws caretui consideration before they consider a general increase in rates. "A similar case came up in Georgia some time ago during some lumber hearings. Federal Judge Speer de­ cided that the railroads had formed in illegal combination in increasing the rates, and the supreme court af­ firmed the decision."

FIRE ON STRIKEBREAKERS. Alabama Miners Kill Deputy Sheriff and Wound Dozen Men. Birmingham, Ala., July 18.—Robert Gardner, a deputy sheriff, was fatally wounded and at least a dozen miners more or less seriously hurt as the result of an attack on a train bearing strike-breakers to take the places of striking union miners at Jefferson near here, yesterday. The train was in charge of 13 deputies, and was en route to Adamsville. It is said the union miners attempted to induce the strike-breakers to leave the train, an.I threatened to kill them if they went to work Governor Comer has ordered a company of cavalry from Montgom­ ery to the scene, and troops already on the ground are under arms, and will patrol the district tonight, pre­ venting further disorders. Deput v Gardner, mortally wounded, was brought to Birmingham last night. Deputy George Smith, accompanying him. estimates that no les- tlrin 1"U shots were fired on both sides in the attack at Jefferson. According to Smith the engagctpeiit was opened when a train bearing 50 strike-breakers attempted to leave Jefferson for Adamsville.
