Interstate Commcrco Commissioners Bo
turn to Washington.
Waihlnglon, Nov. 0. When Inter
stnto Commcrco Commissioners Clarke
nnd Coekroll arrive In Washington to
morrow morning all tbo members of tho
commission will havo returned from a
trip that will probably result In a com
plete readjustment oi irolgbt rates in
the far west.
Growing out of tbo now famous Spo
knno rato caie, In which tho sblpners
of tho inland ompiro claimed a radical
reduction of rates on commodities both
from tbo east and tho Pacific Coast,
tbo case now under consideration com
prise a list of rnoro than 100. These
Inland cities allego unjust rates from
tho east and from the Mississippi Itiver
point In particular. They claim that
rate to tho Paclfle Coast are etneh
cheaper for a much longer haul and
nsk reductions.
Tho decision In tho Spokano rate
cose, which, It I believed, will be fol
lowed In all other caios, was based on
tho theory that tho railroads' conten
tion that water competition toward tbo
coast rates was correct.
All complaints that bavo been tiled
slnco the Spokane differences have
been based on tho allegation that the
rates in themselves were unreasonable.
It Is not likely tbat decisions In any
of tho cases will bo handed down until
early In January.

COHEA FI0HT8 HARD,
Rebellion Against Japanese Rulo Ooes
Steadily Forward.
Kobe, Japan, Nov. 0. Meager now
from Cores Is to the effect that, tho up
rising started by tbe natives us n pro
test against the occupation of tho
kingdom by Japan, while actlvo In
spots, In other places has quieted down
through the efficient service of tho
Japanese soldiers.
This Is taken here to mean that tbe
Japnneso censor ( busy, for It Is well
known tbat the Koreans, animated by
equally as great lovo of country as
tbelr Invaders, will never resign them
selves to be governed by the batd
Japanese until they are completely
brought under subjection.
A correspondent of the Japan Chron
icle writes that the resistance offered
to the reforms desired to be brought
abcut by the stronger nation Is mora
matter of misunderstanding than
anything else.
Tbe Corean officials, it Is said, know
lull woll what Japan is trylntr to do.
but the soldiers sent to occupy the land
re responsible for the hostile feeling
mat has arisen. The cool fo class sees
the havoc wrought by the military
force, the plundered stores, tbe out
raged women, the ill treatment afford
ed the men, and does not know what Is
behind all this.
The poorer classes are unaware that
the good of their land la whst Japan Is
seeking. They look upon the occupa
tion merely as a pretext to gain pos
session of the country, and their blood
bolls and they rise up against .the in
vaders. Incidental to the improvement of
conditions in the empire may come an
nexatlon to Japan. In some circles
this is felt to bo the ultimate object.
Whether that be true or not the fact
remains that Japan has already worked
numerous and appreciable reforms
among the Corenns.
POLICE FORM OLIGARCHY.
Chicago Patrolmen's Union Refuses
To Be Governed by Chief.
Chicago, Nov. 9. The organization
known as the United Police nf Chica
go, but which Is more aptly dibbed the
"Policemen's union," today at its an
nuel meeting sundered all ties which
bound it to beads of the department
The organization virtually declared its
independence by ousting from office all
present officials and electing an Injur
gent ticket, the members of which are
avowedly hostile to control of the union
by tbo chief of police or any of the
men responsible to tbe taxpsyers for
the way the police department does,
or falls to do, its .work.
Briefly, today's action means that
hereafter the mayor and chief cannot
discbarge or discipline any member of
the United Police without calling down
tbe wrath of their organization. It
means the police will work to suit
themselves, regardless of the public or
their superior officers. It creates In
Chicago a modem Pretorian Guard,
which recognizes no ruler but those it
chooses.
TWELVE NUNS HEROINES.
Organize Bucket Brigade and Fight

Cleveland, Nor. 9. Twelve brave

organized a bucket brigade, put out a
fire at the top of tho building tonight.
and quelled an incipient panic The
older boys' asylum, which houses 400
little ones, was the first to learn tbat
there was danger.
The sisters, passing buckets of wa
ter up the stairs and pouring it on tbe
blaze, sent the biggest boys to oversee
the little ones at their studies. Those
who attempted to rush out were or
drsd back, and when help arrived
from the outside, the children, some of
them still unconscious of the peril,
were at their books, while the nuns,
almost dropping from fatigue, held the
fire under control.
