Honolulu Donates Liberally to Officers
and Men of Battleships.
Honolulu, July 21. A feature of the
entertainment of the fleet Sunday was
the presentation of hundreds of tons of
fruit and delicacies of all kinds to the
various battleships. The great store of
good 'things was loaded on a lighter,
which was towed to each of the twelve
ships in turn, the Hawaiian band being
aboard also, and playing native and
American airs as the distribution pro
ceeded.
A generous supply of iced fruit and
plenty of reading matter was sent to the
island, where 850 men of the Nebraska

committee being determined not to for
get any one.
Sunday has been a quiet day with the
men of the Atlantic battleship fleet. Out
side of the star games, which took place

itors. The men, too, sought amusement
many parts of the city and the streets
of the downtown section, as well as the
tree-shaded roads and lanes further out
were populous throughout the day with
groups of strolling seamen. On every
hand they were welcomed by the citizens
and found hospitable entertainment
wherever they sought it.
Out on the ships, hundreds of visitors
were made welcome, and every yacht
and private launch in the bay was
pressed into service to carry parties of
pleasure-seekers in and out among the
anchored warships.

LOSE UNDER 3-CENT FARE.
Cleveland Traction Company's Reports
Show Big Monthly Deficits.
Cleveland. O., July 21. Cleveland has
had nearly three months of 3-cent car
fares, and two of the monthly reports
have shown a deficit. A similar report
is predicted for July. Hie operating
expenses and fixed charges have been
from $40,000 to $50,000 a month in ex
cess of the earnings. The Municipal
Traction company, which is operating
the local lines under a lease, also is
under promise to give free transfers
after July 2S. The revenue from trans
fers has been about $2,000 a month, a
cent each having been charged.
The officials of the company still ex
press their belief that 3-cent fares will
pay in time. An important meeting of
the directors will be held next Tuesday
to consider the inauguration of free
transfers and other vital points.
MEXICO FOR MEXICANS.
Chicago, July IS. 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 in
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 all
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 ami trust
law. When practically all of the
eastern roads, and. for that matter,
all 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 of the anti
trust law which prevents 'pooling' and
illegal combinations.
"Whether or not there is anv neces
sity now for an increase of rates, I am
not prepared to sav. If the increase
should come, the commissioners
would have ample lime to decide that
point. I am convinced, however, that
the railways will give the anti-trust
laws careful consideration before they
consider a general increase in rates.
"A similar case came up in Georgi i
some time ago during some lumber
hearings. Federal Judge Speer de
cided that the railroads had formed
an illegal combination in inereasincr
the rates, and the supreme court af
firmed the decision."
FIRE ON STRIKEBREAKERS.
AVOID TRUST LAW
Railroad Companies Cannot Increase
Rates by Concerted Action.
Washington, July 20. The interstate
commerce commission may take action
on the increased freight rates agreed to
at the meeting of the Southeastern
Freight association and the Southeast
ern Mississippi Valley association, at
Louisville, Ky., Saturday, when the new
tariffs are filed with the commission by
the roads having membership in these
two associations. Action cannot be
taken by the commission on its own in
itiative or on the complaints of shin
pers or shippers associations. If the
interstate commerce commission should
find that the increase in freight rates
was made through concerted action, and
that there was evidence that the Sher
man anti-trust law was violated, atten
tion will in all probability be called to
the matter.
In speaking of the powers cf 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 tin 'ir t.iriff
with the commission with 30 days' no
tice of a contemplated change. Changes
in rates between competitive noints must
be made simultaneously bv ail the roads
operating between those" noints. 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 on its decision in 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 commission to investigate as to the
reasonableness in rates.

Sentiment Against Foreigners Is Rap
idly Gaining Ground.
Mexico City, July 21. The anti-for-eien
feeling in Mexico is assuming large
proportions, and a bitter controversy
over the question is being waged between
the foreign and native press. La Patria
printed an article in which it proclaims
the time ripe for a policy whose slogan

Most of the tirade is directed against
the "Yankees." a term of contempt used
by Mexican editors in desiVtiritincr

Portland, Me.. July 21. A succession
of drenching showers have put a stop
to the great fires , which have wrought
damage amounting to hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in the Maine woods
during the last two weeks, causinc more
than a little alarm in manv mstanrfs
tor the safety of villages. Summer re

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
'""u ui an aiiacK 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, and
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,
Gardner, mortally wounded, was
brought to Birmingham last night.
Deputy George Smith, accompanying
him, estimates that no less than loob
shots were fired on both sides in the
attack at Jefferson.
According to Smith the engagement
was opened when a train bearing 50
strike-breakers attempted to leave
Jefferson for Adamsville. Prior to
this a number of union miners had
made overtures to the strike-breakers
to join their ranks, threatening at the
same time to kill them in case they
attempted to work the mines of the
operators.
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
l lie interstate commerce commission on
the question cf transcontinental rates
tor goods shipped across the Pacific
ocean. I he new rule of the commis
sum compels the railroads to charge the
same price for these goods as for any
other, whereas it had been customary
for the railroads to make this rate
cheaper to the steamship companies.
i ne information that the interstate
commerce commission has decided to
postpone until Octoler 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 throusrh the S lip? rnnnl
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 are com
pelled to adhere to the published rate
they., will lose this oriental business.
