IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL WEAR ' THIS SEASON, ASK BEN SELLING Commerce Commission Will Allow Rate Reductions. : THIRTY DAYS ON ADVANCES First Killing on Application ol Thirty-Day Provision of New Bat Iiaw Through Bill Ing Is Extended. WASHINGTON, Septj 15. The in terstate Commerce Commission today rendered its decision on the petition of the Southern Railway Company and oth er carriers operating east of the Missis sippi River and south of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers, for permission to equal ize export rates on cotton, cottonseed and Its products and lumber, and thereby make changes in their export rates with out the 30 days' notice required by the new rate law. The Commission holds that carriers may legally issue through bills of lading from the interior point of shipment to a foreign destination where they specify the inland rate to the port of export and the ocean rate from the port of export, even though, no joint true rate is pub lished. The Commission orders that "No pub lished rates on cotton shall be advanced except upon 30 days' notice; that from and after this date and until March 1. 1907. carriers may reduce their published export rates on cotton to the various ports of export upon three days' notice, and that until November ' 1. 1906. car riers may continue to equalize export cotton rates through the various ports by applying the lowest combination through all the ports, thereby making said rates without publication and filing as required by law, provided that they post in two conspicuous places in the station where cotton is received for shipment notices of rates so made and mail copies of the same to the Commis sion, said notices to specify the rate and the time during which the rate will continue in force." As to cottonseed and its products and lumber, the petition was denied. Scores of applications for permission to change freight rates have been re ceived by the Commission during the past few days, and in every instance the changes which the carriers desired to make are reductions. The applications have been entirely voluntary. GTJMMERE GOES TO SEE SCLTAX Travels to Fez in Pomp Raisuli Sends Presents. TANGIER. Sept. 15. The American Min ister left here today for Fez.

He says: "The demoraliz ing Influence of the resorts surrounding posts cannot be too strongly emphasized, giving rise as they do to a large propor tion of the most oerious offenses and practically all those with penitentiary confinements, a condition chargeable in a great measure, in the opinion of the Judge-Advocate, to the prohibition placed upon the post exchange."

His nomination as Com mandant of the palace and his removal to Peterhof took him out of the direct field of administrative politics and he was less frequently seen. The last in terview granted by him to the Associated Press was at Peterhof shortly before the dissolution of Parliament. He spoke of his shattered health and the prospects of the Terrorists finally winning the stake for which they were playing, but there was not the slightest intimation of a de sire to retire from his post or to shirk the perils of the game. A fortnight ago the Associated Press was in communication with -m concern ing rumors that he intended to retire. He replied that there was not a word of truth in this, though his physicians had declared that he must take a short rest if he valued his life. When the subject of his relations with the Emperor was broached, he simply said: "The story is not worth the trouble of denying." General TrepofTs death was not gen erally known tonight, except in the news paper offices and in political circles, where a feeling of almost stupefaction prevailed. The leaders are unahla to .imagine Russia without Trepoff. Joy Among Liberals. Relief, almost jubilation, is the domi nant note, not only among the revolu tionists but also among the cadet group. A dozen cadet leaders styled the death of General Trepoff as "good news." They are especially bitter against Trepoff. be cause they attribute the overconfldence which led them to plunge into an ad dress to the country and provoke the dissolution of Parliament largely to Tre pofTs advocacy of a cadet Ministry. An open question is Trepoff's culpabil ity for the excesses and disorders fol lowing the October manifesto, which Prince Orloff Sergius charged were di rectly organized by him. In an inter view the morning after the promulgation of Parliament, Trepoff predicted the dis TERRORISTS CLAIM CREDIT Believe Trepoff Died of Poison, and That Is General Opinion. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 16. The re port of the death of General Trepoff, the iron-fisted Governor of St. Petersburg, in the days of the outbreaks to this city, which was made public . last night through unofficial sources, caused little surprise. With almost unanimous ac cord the people expressed the belief that Terrorists had a hand m TrepofTs tak ing off. The cook and the servants who were arrested for complicity in the pois oning of Trepoff. are still under arrest. It is believed they will be openly charged with the murder of the General. If this course is not pursued, it will probably be because the government does not wish to give the Terrorists credit for success fully carrying out their plot. LONDON, Sept. 18. (Special.) Mem bers of the Terrorist committee in-London, on hearing of the death of General Trepoff jn St. Petersburg, with one ac cord declared: "He has paid the penalty of his crimes." They assert positively that Trepoff fell a victim to their agents, and there is great . rejoicing among them. They laugh at the story sent out from St. Petersburg that Trepoff died from an apoplectic stroke. They assert his demise was the direct result of the poison administered to him several weeks ago in his food by a cook in the imperial palace, who had been won to the Terror ist cause. The reports that he died of apoplexy were given out in that form for the pur pose of preventing Terrorists from claim ing credit for having -removed their en emy, it is now said. Terrorists say. how ever, they will not be cheated of the blame for TrepofTs taking off. XO ATTEMPT TO KILL "WITTE Former Premier Brands as False Story of Attack. BERLIN, Sept. 15.

The emergency that is attributed to the jetty project, could be urged equally well for many other projects throughout the country and this would be done were a formidable at tempt made to put the jetty on the emer gency list." Mr. Ransdell advised that the whole Columbia region pull unitedly for both projects and keep clamoring for them to Congress. , Colonel Roessler remarked that he would be glad to put the dredge Chinook to work, were funds avallagle to repair and operate her. He -believed in the efficacy of dredging, but. said that condi tions of the Columbia bar are so unlike those where dredges are successful, that he could not foretell the result. Other important jetty ports each had a dredge as an adjunct to its harbor equipment. Fine Points of Her Philosophy. Ed Howe In Atchison Globe. Hens are so much like people It is funny to watch them. A North Atchison woman owns a fussy old hen that was forever clucking and sputtering to a brood of little chickens The hen was such a noisy nuisance that the woman tied her by her leg out of hearing, and whenever anyone went near the sound of the hen's scolding cluck could be heard, while clustered around were the poor little chickens, who did not dare to stir. A few days ago the old hen flew on top of a barrel and was caught by the string around her leg. The poor, cross old thing hung there several hours scared to death. The little chickens struck out for them selves, scratching and had a fine time. Some one came along and rescued the hen. and instead of scolding, the old hen clucked softly and gently. She seemed so sad that the woman untied her, and now she Is as gentle as a lamb. She seems to .realize that she had a narrow escape and means to be good as long as life is spared her.

Winder, in the Circuit Court today de cided In favor of the City of Chicago in the injunction suit based on the Mueller law, which provides for the issuance of 475,000,000 worth of railway certificates by the city.

The decision is a complete victory for the city, the court holding against every point advanced by the complainants in their bill, which was dismissed for want of equity. The court pointed out that it was the evident purpose of the Legisla ture and of the Chicago City Council, in the laws and ordinances passed by those bodies, to give the city the right to mu nicipalize the street railways.
