LOW RATES FOR JAPANESE Kailroads Promise Steamship Lines to Keep Tariffs Down. TOKIO, July 16. via San Francisco, Aug. 4. It appears that the strenuous exertion made by the Nippon Yusen Kalsha Steamship Company and others to induce the American railway com panies to reconsider the proposed schedule of rates has been attended with some measure of success. The railway companies are now said to have cabled the directors of the Nippon company in the sense that rates will be kept down to the San Francisco level. The Japanese Boyekl Kyokai also has received from the railway control bu reau at Chicago an assurance that as this question of rates closely concerns the trade between the two countries every effort will be made to arrange a mutually satisfactory schedule. Nagoya and Seto have also cabled to the same bureau in Chicago and have urged that the projected Increase of rates would be fatal. These two places are the great centers of Japanese porcelain manufacture. They export 5,000.000 yen worth of Keramic ware annually to America and they have hitherto paid 20 yen a ton for transportation. Under the new schedule, however, they will have to pay 30 yen, and this would mean that the Sues route must be chosen in preference tothe American. Liberal Chief Fleeing to Europe.

Spaulding, of this city, lost lus life from heat prostration near Yuma, Ariz., on Friday, was brought here yesterday by T. P. McCauley, Spaulding's chauf feur, who narrowly escaped a similar fate.

HENRY LYNCH, TAKE KIPUMS- FOR A SPY EXCITED BRITISH PATRIOTS SEE GERMANS EVERYWHERE. Author and Party of Friends on Railroad Survey Thought to Be Kaiser's Hirelings. LONDON. Aug. 4. (Special.) Ger man spies are all over England, if one Is to believe the daily stories of certain English newspapers, which let no op portunity go by to preach that war be tween England and Germany is inevit able, and that the Kaiser will choose his own time to start it. All along the coasts of Great Britain, these papers say, the spies sent from the Fatherland are swarming and making notes, draw ing maps and photographing fortifica tions, all this material to be used for the threatening invasion. Circumstantial stories have been printed describing how mysterious German spies were living next door to every postofflce on the east coast and it was actually declared that a party of German officers were executing a "staff ride" in Epping forest, the approach to London from the northwest. When ques tions were asked in Parliament about these alarming stories the Secretary of War, Mr. Haldane, refused to take them seriously. A perfectly Innocent explanation has IN EiJt!3 ELrC3 jalfWi'taJ I I feSiSrreRV : J X. vV?? ' - Iff f Manager (Ordinary Dept.), Corbett Building now been made regarding one of these spy stories. The chief constable of Lincolnshire stated at a meeting of the local board of freeholders that he had obtained Information about the supposed spies and the only thing he had learned that might have given rise to the ru mors was that a number of gentlemen were making investigations in connec tion with the surveying of a proposed railroad line. This party consisted of Mr. Rudyard Kipling and several friends, who had come into Lincolnshire to In spect the land proposed for the railroad. Poison Found in Body. CHICAGO, Aug. 4.

I S INSULT BETTERS ENGLISH WOMEN, EVEN WITH ESCORTS, NOT SAFE IN INDIA. Courts, Composed of Native Judges, Unable to Cope With Growing Arrogance of People. LONDON. August 1. (Special.) A woman who recently returned from In dia writes to the n wspapers saying that during the month of May ten se rious outrages by natives against Anglo-Indians were ropo. ted in the pa pers. Probably only one or two out of every 20 cases of assault and Insult, es pecially against women, find their way into the papers. The assurance with which natives set about to insult Eng lish women may lie Intitanced by quot ing the case of the wife of a civilian recently traveling from Asausol to Cal cutta. She was provided with escort in the shape of a European sergeant who traveled In the same carriage with her. but in spite of this, some Bengali youths in the next carriage got out at every station and shouted Insults at ber. Tills case was not reported. Sir Ranipfylde Fuller states that ladies in Bengal are unable to go out alone, anil are liable to Insult even when escorted. Rosenthal's winnows are money-savera. i
