AVOID TRUST LAV
Railroad Companies Cannot Inereast
Rates by Concorted Action.
Washmgton, July 20. Tlte interstati
commerce coiiitiiittioti may take actiM
on the increaKil freight rate agreed l
at the meeting of the Soulheatten
Freight association and the Southeast
crn Mississippi Valley association, at
Iuiville, Ky., Saturday, when the new
tariffs are filed with the commission by
the roads having membcrthip in these
two atsociations. Action cannot be
taken by the cotnmittion on it own in
illative or on the complaints of ship
ptrt or shippers' associations. If the
interstate commerce commission should
find that the increase m freight rates
wat made ill rough concerted action, and
that there wat 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 of the in
terstate commerce eommittwn where an
advance in frcutht rale hat been made
by any railroad. Chairman Knapp, of
the cotnmistHwi, said:
"The railroads mutt file their tariffs
with the commission with 30 days' no
tice of a contemplated change Changes
in rates between conmetitive nomli mutt
be made simultaneously by all the roadt
operating between those noinls Tint
in a measure protects the shipper When
a railroad file notice of an increase in
itt freight ratct the committion can on
its own motion make an investigation as
to the reasonableness of the advance.
"In a case where the comnmtion acts
on itt own motion, however, it cannot
ittue an order. If a shipper make a
c mplaint to the ommittiofl againtt a
railroad charging an unjust increase of
rate, each side is given a hearing, and
the commission can then issue an order
bawd on itt decuion in the cast"
Should it develop that the increase
wat 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 cominitsion to investigate as to the
reasonableness in rates.
PACIFIC COAST LOSER.
Transcontinental Shipper Claim Rate
Ruling Fatal to Oriental Trade.
San Francisco. July 20 The South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads ami
Ihe Pacihc Mad Steamship company are
preparing to have a hearing before
Ihe 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 tliesc foods as for anv
other, whereas it had been customary
for the railroads to make this rate
cheaper to the steamship companies.
i lie mtormation that the interstate
commerce commission has decided to
postpone until October the day on which
the rate wouhl become effective. W.iiu
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 through the Suez canal
will get the trade if the transcontinental
roadt are not allowed to juggle rates
at iltey please. The steamers change
their rates often and quickly, they say,
and if the American railroads are com
pelled to adhere to tlie published rate
they will lose thit oriental business.

Sultan In Furious Rage.
London, July 21. A special dis
patch from Constantinople to the
Daily Telegraph says there is not
the slighest doubt that Turkey is
suffering the greatest crisis in her
internal affairs that it is possible to
imagine.
The sultan, continues the corre
spondent, is furious with his minis
ters, whom he holds responsible for
the situation in Macedonia, and whom
he accuses of misleading him as to
the true facts of the situation They
have advised him to pardon the of
ficers now awaiting court-martial on
the charge of assisting the "Young
Turkey" agitation, but he obstinately
refuses to do this, and declares that
the minister -are traitors.
The sultan threatens to remove the
officers of the third army corps and
crush the Albanians by force.
