The Record-Herald tomorrow will say: The Interstate Com- merce commission will begén a series of three Investigations in Chicago next Tues- day, which are said to have for their pur- pose the gathering of data for a special message by President Roosevelt to con- gress. It Is sald that in this speclal mes- sage President Roosevelt will deal with three stubjects, as follows: 1. Rallway combinations. 2. The Interstate Commerce commission. 3. Leglslation governing interstate trafic. Originally it was the purpose of the pres| dent to cover those subjects fully in his annual message to congress, but owing to the inabllity of the Interstate Commerce commission to get all the facts necessary, these subjects were touched upon but briefly and were left to be handled In a supple- mentary message. The investigations which will bo made and which will supplant those already made are: H Subjects for Investigation. * 1. Tuesddy, at Chicago, ‘the transporta- tion of packing house products and dressed beef. 2. Wednesday, at Chicago, the Burlington- Northern Pacific-Great Northern combina- tlon. 3. Thursday, at Kansas City, graln and | graln products to eastern and seaboard points. | 4. Friday, at Chicago, packing house and | dressed beef. United States Marshal Doty was busy t day serving and trying to serve subpoenas on representatives, of picking house Inter- ests. He had six summonses and suc- ceeded in serving two. Several of the men sought are sald to have escaped servico | by leaving the city hurriedly, one of thewm | missing the deputy by only a few seconds. While, the packing house men are ap- parently shunning the investigation, the | railroad men are not seeking to avoid it Many of them belleve that anything is | better than the present conditions, and that with stable rates would come lower rates, to the great benefit of the entire countr The packing house men who were served with subpoenas were: George B. Robbhins, vice president of Armour car lines; W, P Men in general and women in particular enjoy a toothsome nourishing break- fast food and they find it when A they try Jonkins, superintendent of transportation for the Hammond Packing company No subpoenas were lssued for the rail- road men, but in their stead letters were recelved from the commission requesting their attendance at fhe investigation. It s suld that every person in ¢harge of trafic on a road centering here and known to carry packing house products and dressed beef has recelved a copy of the letter. It is doubtful if the investigation into the President Harris of the Burlington and Darius Miller, vice president, will not be in the eity. They have asked the commission to postpore the date, and umless the St Paul people interested can get here a post ponement may become pecessary Hill and Associntes Invited. It is understood that the legal counsel in- terested in the organization of the Northern Securitiee company—James J. Hill, B. H Harriman, J. P. Hays of the Southern Paclfic, President Burt of the Unfon Pacific and J. C. Stubbs, trafc director of the Harriman lines—have been asked to attend. None of these men were expected to reapond to the commission’s re- quest and that others will do the same. 1t is also the purpose of the commission to in- quire into the purpose of the Southern Pa- cific purchase by the Union Pacific and futo all that has transpired within the last year, as tending to show the workiugs of the community of interests idea. Railroad men have been given to under- stand that the Investigation into Fate mat- ters 18 not for the purpose of infilcting punishment upon any one, but simply in the line of investigation for facts and data.

W. I Buchanan, who is (¢ United States mem- ber of the arbitration committee, held a meeting with high Mexican officlals this afternoon with u view to dlscussing a pos- sible basts of agreement. It Is not, how- ever, understood how the Mexican deloga- tlon can possibly withdraw from the com- | pulsory plan, as the Chileans want them to do, first, because the Mexicans have signed the plan aud, secondly, It was made an ex- press condition by one of the South Amer- igan delegates for signing The Hague con- | The Army and Navy Journal of December 2§ reviews the recent censure of General Miles in the following terms It will be remembered that just pre- vious to the retirement of the late Rear Admiral Richard W. Meade, U. 8. N., he | was guilty of the indiscretion of criticising some act of the Cleveland administration for which he was openly rebuked by the president, Last year, Captain French E Chadwick, U. 8. N., for a similarly indis- creet statement, which appeared in the public prints, recelved a still sharper re- | buke from the secretary of the navy in a ilellvr which was given to the publie | through the uewspapers. Now, the lieiten- | ant general commanding the army, the highest officer in the military service, s called upon to undergo o similar ex- | perience, the rebuke in his case belng the | direct act of the president through the se | retary of war. | "It would soem to be well, therefore, in the interests of discipline, and for the | instruction of the services, to determine { how far the president or the secretaries of | war and the navy, speaking in’ the name | of the president, have the elght to thus | infilet humiliation, not to say disgrace, | upon the military officers subject to the ‘vun(rfll of the president by virtue of hia | authority as commander-in-chtef.

The Chileans have made some threats, one being that they will withdraw thetr legation from Mexico it they cannot have their way. | One of the South American delegates said today to the Associated Press correspond- | ent “Our situation is slmply a waiting one. We have sald our last word and do not in- tend to yield ong inch of ground. If it were not that the Chileans imagine that they have the support of the United States they | would quickly yield. In the conference they stand absolutely alone, for though other delegations will not sign the compyl- sory plan the Chilean delegation is the only one that is trying actively to obstruct it On the other hand, ten delegations have signed the compulsory plan and seven dele gations have no objection to its being re- ported to the conference. Thus, the Chileans are trying to make their will pre vail against the wishes of all the others. I think this 1s the only case on record in which a single delegation to an interna- tional conference has attempted to boycott and coerce the conference as a whole. “We agreed to sign The Hague conventlon not because we admire It, but as a means of enabling our plan to be reported to the conference. This compromise was agreed to by all, and is certainly understood by all, |including the Chileans.

J. A G, page 40.) The appearance in the same paragraph of a prohibition of acts of similar nature, that is deliberation and discussion conveying prefse or blame, would indicate that the same penalty is to be applied to these and that the same rule of interpretation applies. However this may be, It is certain that military men have been loft free to ex- press at least their complimentary opin fons of others, cven to the extent of pub lishing resolutions of approval and the prescntation of various tangible tokens of esteem, It a different rule is to prevail in the future, and a more severe penaity is to be fmposed ‘thun the one apparently in- tended, it would seem that some more ap propriate method might be found for making the fact known than by the open rebuke through the public press, by a civilian sec- retary, of an officer of long and distin- guished wervice who, by virtue of his po- sitlon, represents the honor and dignity of the military service, agraph relating to Smoke Damaged Men’s Furnish’gs Prices are half and less of what they formerly were.

DEPRECATES A POPULAR VOTE of ¥ ce 'hroukh of W er Reflects Views Press on Sale wt Ind COPENHAGEN, Jan. 3.—Danneborg, owned by the minister of justice, publishes an editorial today deprecating the demand for a plebiscite on the subject of the sale of the Danish West Indies, based on tha same privilege being claimed for Schleswig. It says the inbabitants of Schleswig are Danes by origin, language, education and sympathy, while the people inhabiting the Danish West Indies are mostly negroes, nuot even speaking Danish, and adds that such a comparison is Injurious to the Schleswig cause. The cditorial, however, accepts the ap- plication of the Monroe doctrine to the Danish West Indles, and does not favor the proposal to transter the lslands to Ger- many in exchange for Schleswig. The min- istry 18 united in favor of the sale. The Landsthing (upper house) is controlled by the opposition, but it will undoubtedly consent to the sale of the Islands.

The communication excltes comment not only on account of the boldness of the diplomat in Interfering in such questions, but, ‘rom the tact that the Couni de Turenne is re- lated to prominent English familles and at the same time has been intimately as- woclated with Mr. Kruger and the Boer representatives on the continent.
