The Russian loss is estimated at 4000, although prisoner: say that one regiment was practically annihilated. The Japanese loss is placed at only 200, due to the fact that they remained in their trenches, while the Russians were forced to cross open ground, solidly frozen, where the con- suruction of shelter trenches was im- posgible.

American Squadron Sails From Luzon for Southern Archipelago. PARIS, Feb. 3.—An official dispatch | from Manila says that an American squadron composed of fifteen warshios sailed to-day from the island of Luzon for the southern waters of the archi- | pelago, with the object of maintain- ing neutrality in American waters both as to Russian or Japanese fleets. It is the understanding here that the movement of the American sauadron is a precautionary step taken in connec- tion with the movements of the Rus- sian second Pacific squadron and of Japanese warships. A recent dispatch said that Japanese warships had been seen in Southern Phjlippine waters, and it is therefore expécted that the pre- cautionary = measures apply equally against the Russians or Japanese. It is added here that the Dutch islands of Sumatra and Java and the unex- plored waters of Southern Mindanao of- fer a possible rendezvous for belliz- erent warships. The Dutch Government has already sent two warships to protect the neu- | trality of Dutch waters, and the move- ment of the American warships as- sumes the same character.

The main points of the decision are as follows: The act to regulate commerce requires car- riers to publish and adhere to their_tariffs. | The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway | Company has' for the last five vears willtully and continuoksly violated this provision in the | law in the respects above stated. February 19, 1903, the so-called bUI" was enacted, providing that carriers | should In no case transport traffic until a | tratfic echedule has been published, and that | the published tariff should be observed, and | ¥ of not less than $1000 nor for ‘each offense. The pro— visions of t tatute extend both to the | raiiway company which grants and the party | which ™ receives the concessions. Both the | Santa Fe and the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company systematically and continuously vio— iated the provisions of that act in the par- ticulars mentioned from the day of its pas- sage down to November 27, 1904, when the tariffs under which_ this coai moved were re- duced in_all cases §1 15. It would seem that the El Paso and Southwestern Railroad was in violation o/ the same statute during that | period, but that company was not a party to this proceeding and has not been heard. It should be further observed that on March 1802, the United States Circuit Court, in uit begun at the instance and requesi of the Interstate Commerce Commission, enjoined the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company to observe in all respects its pub- lished schedules of rates. That cownpany from the date of this injunction down to November 27, 1904, was apparently in continuous disre- gard of that order of court in its failure to maintain these coal tariffs. Y The decision says that a number of other operators in New Mexico besides Bowie of the Caledonia Coal Company found it difficult to dispose of their products in competition with the Col- orado Fuel and Iron Company. | The Santa Fe Company, the commis- | slon says, acted as agent for the Col- | orado Fuel and Iron Compary in col- lecting from its customers the price of | the coal itself along with the freight | rate, and evidence shcwed that in one | ‘astance, at leust, this also was done | for the Victor Fuel Company. Under this arrangement the Santa Fe in- structed its agents to bill coal from cer- tain points at which the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company operated to various stations on its system at figures to be | furnished by the Colorado Fuel and | “Elkins | | to have been to embrace the price of | the coal and the freight rate in a pense | bill as freight. Continuing, the com- | miseion say: | It _the Colorado Fue! and Iron Company had | in all cases paid the published tariff rate which was exacted from other. shippers the fact that the price of the coal and the freight were in- cluded in & single item would have worked to the practical advantage of that company, so far We can see, Neither apparently would | there have been any reason for this arrange- ment it" the purpose of the parties, had been honest. If, however, there existed on the part of the Santa Fe Company an intent to charge the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company less for the transportation of its coal than the pub- lished rate, it is evident that this method of billing would afford a ready means for conceal- ing the transaction.' In point of fact, during the entire period covered this investigation the Santa Fe Company d8id transport coal for the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company for less than its open tarift rates, and these concessions amounted in miany cases to the price of the coal itself. Under the joint tariff filed May 24, 1903, and up to November 27, 1904, the railroads parties to that tariff allowed the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company a.concession on all coal taxed under those joint rates of $115 a ton. Mr. Biddle freight traffic manager of the San- | ta Fe system, testified that of the $4 05 re- ceived by the 'Santa Fe $115 was always paid | to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company with the full knowledge of the El Pasg and South- western. i These railroads, therefore, collected the pub- | lished tariff rate from the Trinidad district to | the destination and pald back to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company $115 a ton of the amcunt so collected. Some euggestion has been made that these payments to the Colorado, Fuel and Iron Com- | pany by the Santa Fe wére not in the nature of rebates, but simply payment of the price of its coal; that the published tarift in reality included the cost of the coal, but inadver- tently omitted to state that fact. The record conclusively shows the contrary. t these rebates in favor bf and Iron Company were no there were no other shippera and consequently no actual preference. The Santa Fe Company published its rates, and these rates were actually insisted upon in the discrimination, a; case of small consignors, apparently: but; ‘whenever - it seemed desirable, to secure & particular contract, to shade’ the price, a special arrangement was made between the Santa Fe and the Colorado Fuel and - Iron Company by which the Santa Fe agreed to transport the coal required to fill that con- Since the greater part of the business of | that company was in filling these contracts, the rebate was applied to the greater part of its total shipment. Ncbody else sold to these large -consumers, because in the very nature of things nobody else could sell, These tariffs from the Trini- dad_district merely served as scarecrows to keep off all competitors and, further, as a pre- text for declining to reduce rates from other coal fields on the ground that there ought to be some relation between different districts. It has been intimated in some quarters that the Santa Fe, In the payment of these rebates, squandered ifs revenues in the interest of the fuel company.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 3.— Alexander Sherriffs of Stanford Univer- sity in the éleventh annual debate be- tween Stanford University and the University of California for the posses- sion of the Carnot medal proved that the question, “Resolved, that the policy of the late Combes Ministry with re- 8ard to the rélation of church and state in France was wise,” should be decided in the affirmative, and won the coveted medal, as well as proving himself the best debater of the two universities. The decision of the judges was unan- imous, and hardly was it announced by Professor Lisser when the Stanford students picked up the winning debater and earried him in triumph around the great assembly hall. The Carnot medal, presented by the Baron de Coubertin for the purpose of encouraging the study and discussion ' in California of French history and| politics, is awarded annually to the student who proves himself the best de- | bater in a contest held for the purpose | between Stanford University and the University of California. | Under the rules of 1905, the general! subject for the debate was announced | in November, but the particular ques- tion, embodied in a resolution, was an- | nounced to the debaters only. two hours | before the time for speaking. This| general subject was “The Relations of Church agd State in France Since 1801.” | This medal has now been won four times by Stanford and seven times by | California. Sherriffs was given the| prize not only for logical thinking, but for exceedingly clever presentation. His speech, *which was nearly extempora- neous, was delivered like a prepared oration. He showed that the policy of the Combes Ministry was the complete separation of church and state and, that such a separdtion would save | France money and secure future peace | for the state. | Sherriffs is an experienced debater, | having represented Stanford orf the in- | tercollegiate team last year.
