EXIT COMMERCE COMMISSIONER Y0EMANS More Discission of the Qaeatlnn of Vesting Interstate Commerce Body rrlth Fall Power to Fix Rail road Rates Definitely. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-( Special. )-Thcre are nine members of the president' cab inet. Of these nlno officials seven nre designated as secretaries and two a gen erals. It might be assumed, and fre quently is by the foreigner, that when a member of the cabinet is addressed as general he must be connected with the War department. And yet the two "gen erals" In the cabinet are In no' way con nected with the military establishment. Ono Is at the head of the Postofflce de partment and the other preside over the Department of Justice. Every ex-post-mnster general and every man who ha ever served as an assistant to the head of the PostofMcc department Is. through cus tom, accorded tho military title of general. Whenever he comes to Washington John Wanamaker, the merchant prince of New Y'ork and Philadelphia, Is addressed by his former subordinates as "General" Wana maker; former First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson Is "General" Clarkson to the same people, and even former Vice President Adlal Stevenson is known as "general" (Imply because he occupied a secondary position In the FostofTice de partment during Mr. Cleveland's first term. The same rule applies to Mr. Wayne McVeigh, formery attorney general, and to every other man who occupies or did occupy a position at the head of the De partment of Justice or as an assistant to the head of that department. Should It happen thut at some social function General Miles. General Schofleld, Postmaster General Wynne and Attorney General Moody should meet, each and every one of the four would be addressed as "general." The absurdity of this is so manifest that It Is not surprising that members of congress have come to the conclusion that it is time thut u change should be made In the designation of those two cabinet officers. It is too late to take the Initial step with any hope of success before March 4, but early In the first st ssirm of tho r.ext congress efforts will be made to secure the enactment of legisla tion which will give the official title of "secretary" to every member of the cab inet. Tho postmaster general will under the proposed change be. known as the secretary for the Postofflce department, or the secretary of posiul affairs, while the attorney general will be called the secre tary of the Department of Justice, or the secretary of Justice. The proposition has met with the cordial endorsement of every member to whom It has been suggested. On January 7, 1906, the econd term of LEGAL SOT1CE STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.

DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 8, 1903. J. D. Yoemans, Interstate commerce com missioner, expired by limitation. Eleven years ago last month the announcement that Senator Gear and Allison had united If endorsing the appolntmentof J. D. Yoe mans of Sioux City, la., formerly of Buf falo, N. Y., for thl Important place caused a howl of derision. Mr. Yoeman laid no claim to legal knowledge; he wa not a lawyer. Up to that time every member of the commission had been an attorney and It had grown to be the custom to look upon a legal training a a prerequisite to places upon the commission. J. D. Yoe man was a trained railroad man. He be gan his career a an engineer, running a train between the north and south during the civil war. He acted as a conductor on a New York railroad, he had been superin tendent of another and had built, as con tractor, half a doten other roads. Mr. Yoemans knew the railroad business "from the ground up." He was thoroughly fa miliar with every branch of the railroad business from construction to management, and the president came to the conclusion that It was about time to appoint a man with thorough practical knowledge of rail road affairs. During the last eleven year there has never been a time when anyone has had occasion to criticise the wisdom of Presi dent Cleveland's selection of Mr. Yoe mans for a place on the commission. He has personally settled more controversies than any other Individual member. He ha been enabled to do this through his practi cal knowledge of railroad affairs. He has not only done an enormous amount of In dividual work, but has likewise settled con troversies to the entire satisfaction of both parties In Interest. In fact, It may be said thnt in spite of the fact that he never had any legal trnlning whatever, J. D. Yoemans. during his eleven years service on the Interstate Commerce commission, ha made for himself a record which has not been excelled by nny of the gentlemen who have occunled tilnres on that hnitv J since the commlsssion was first created. A to Rate-Maklna Power. President Roosevelt, In his recent mes sage to congress, expresses the opinion that at present It would be undesirable if it were not Impracticable finally to clothe tho Interstate Commerce Commission with gen eral authority to fix railroad rates, but he recommends thut the commission be vested with the power to fix and, pending judicial review, to onforco a reasonable rate In place of a given rote found to be unreason able. An official of one of the important trunk HneB In commenting upon this recom mendation said today: "If the commission were clothed with the general authority thus condemned by the president, to fix nil railroad rates, it Is clear that It would, In exercising that power, change only thoso rates which it regards as unreasonable. It is equally clear that the commission would hove and exercise ex actly the same extent of power under a grant of authority to fix and enforce a specified rute found to be unreasonable. Under the narrower language the commis sion could in a single proceeding investi gate and correct as many rates as It choee, and it could do no more If tho grant of power wer In the most general terms. The commission's rulings would be Just as final In the one case as In the other, and the character of Judicial review practically (he same. "Under the present law the commission never claimed any rate-making power be yond that of substituting a reasonable rate for a specified rate found, on full Investi gation, to be unreasonable, and yet In a single proceeding It undertook what amounted to a reconstruction of the rates on practically all tha traffic moving from tha citle of the east and middle west to all the southeastern states, and tha upreme court declared that If tho commission had the power claimed as to a single rate, it had the power to change every Interstate rote In the United State in a single pro ceeding. If, then, the commission Is to be aiven the rate-making power, the situation should be met and facts discussed. If the senate committee In 1886 was right and President Roosevelt is right at the pres ent time In declaring that It is undesir able and Impracticable to give the com mission the general rate-making power, the same grant of power should not bo allowed to slip through congres in language merely made palatable by being ugar coated. "If it Is necessary for the protection of the public to confer upon a tribunal tho practically unlimited power to make and change all the interstate rates In the coun try, well and good. But first it should be fully decided that it Is necessary and that the tribunal is equal to the exercise of the power created, and above all, there must be no deception as to the real scope of the power proposed, and the extent to which, If created, it can and will be exercised. "If thl rate-making proposition has merit, it can stand being squarely looked In tho face. If It Is without merit, that fact can best be determined by looking It squarely In the face. To imagine f.hat it will not be a general, final and unlimited power in theory and In practice, to change at will all the Interstate rates in the United States, Is to shut the eye to it most char acteristic and inevitable feature. If every state und territory in the union had a railroad commission vested with the pow er of the strongest state commission, the combined authority of all of them would be almost Insignificant beilde that of the Interstate Commerce Commission If given the rate-making power which it Is now seeking." Peculiar Claim Pendlnar. The senate committee on claim ha re ported favorable to the senate an "omni bus" bill, in which provision Is made for the payment of several million of dol lar of the debts of the United States. Among the claims which this bill proposes to ettle Is one of the Wale Island Pack ing company, which corporation I per mitted to go to the court of claims to es tablish its rights. The case is a peculiar one and arises out of tha action of tha Alaska Boundary commission In changing the location of the boundary line of Alaska so a to place Wales Island, in the Port land canal, within the Dominion of Can ada. The corporation, which wa organ ized under the law of the state of New York, began operation In 1902, when 16,000 casea of salmon were packed. Last year the pack wa 50,000 case. It seem that. In spite of the fact that the United State government had erected a store house on the Island, tit commis sion decided it to be In Canadian territory, and the practical effect of th decision upon the company 1 to prevent the con tinuance of It buslnesa and render It property valueless. It former fishing ground, with respect to which thl sit was (elected, are all left on th United State side of the boundary, as luld down by thl decision, and consequently' are no longer available to this company. On the Canadian side of the line there are nq fish ing ground In the immediate neighborhood of the establishment of thl company. Such fishing ground aa are to be found on the Canadian coast ar so Inconveniently placed that It is practically out of th question for this company to attempt to do Its fishing there. Furthermore, uch Canadian fisheries as there ar have all been appropriated by Canadian companies located within convenient reach, and th fishing industry on the Canudian side In this neighborhood la already overcrowded. The company cannot engage In business a a Canadian corporation, because there are no Canadian fish. It cannot do busi ness as an American firm, because there la no available site. In other words, it Is left between the devil and the deep sea. and the senate committee very Justly, it would seem, has decided to submit the question of damage to the court of claim for adjudication. Senator Ixidge, In his report on the case from the committee on foreign relations, says: "It Is evident from the circumstances of tho case that the company Is entitled to every considera tion from the government. This committee therefore recommends the ap propriation of 1200K") as compensation In full." But the committee on claims au thorizes only 11,R9, to be paid after the court decides, and thl with the proviso that it hall be accepted In full and com plete settlement. BRITAIN READY FOR TROUBLE Soch Opinion Is Expressed by French Writer Treating; of It Fleet. PAr.19, Jan. 7.-(Speclal Cablegram to The Bee.) The Temp publishes some In teresting remarks made to one of Its rep resentative by M. de Lanessan, the for mer minister of marine, on the reorganiza tion of the British navy. According to M. de Lanessan that reorganization I based upon a "transposition of the two powers rule." Hitherto the British Admiralty has been guided by the principle that the fleet should bo superior to those of the two strongest naval powers combined. That end has long since been attained, and In M. de Lanessan opinion, England now con templates the possibility of a conflict with three powers namely, France, the United States and Germany. It can oppose to Germany the channel fleet and the Atlantic fleet. Even supporlng Germany were to be supported by the Italian nnd Austrian navies), their Junction would bo rendered Impossible by the British Mediterranean fleet and the Gibraltar forces. Against the United States England could employ Its Gibraltar fleet, the western section of Its cruisers aiid two squadrons of armored cruiser, without weakening Its forces in home water). In case of combined action by Germnny and the United States Englann could still oppose superior forces to each navy. "It Is only through a triple alliance be tween the American and French republics and the German empire that the situation of England could become critical, not on account of the strength of the combined squadrons, but owing to the military forces of France and Germany." In conclusion M. de Lanessan contends that this situation Is a warning to France, which must provide for the progress of Its own fleet If it is to maintain its rank among the great powers. BOOTS AND JHOES SCARCE London Hears that Demand for Foot wear Will Exceed Snvplr Thla Year. LONDON, Jan. 7. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Boots and shoos, whether made of all leather or of leather and other su stances, are likely to advance materially in rrice In the near future, owing to a serious shortage in the available supply or hides. The enormous losses In cattle by th drouth and the premature killing of beasts reduced the supply of hides from many dis tricts In Australia by 60 per cent, while the Indian droutb forced up the price of East India kips, which are used In the uppers or men' heavy boots, 100 per cent. "The present war," said a well known authority in the leather trade, "has been responsible for an enormously Increased consumption of leather. The Japanese tries to go through the campaign with straw sandals, bnf they have had to take to boots and the Russians have also been heavy cua. tomcrs."

Thl order Is the result of successful trial of the Bl In the Irish sea recently, which showed that boats of this type could remain under water for a longer period, and with greater comfort, than the A class.

C0ND1TIIN OF 8MAHVS TRADE Business Starttd Out This Tear Unnsially Well in All Lines. OUTLOOK BETTER THAN A YEAR AGO Sugar Market Excited and Conslder nbly Higher nnd Coffee Also Ad vanced, with Indications of Further Advance. Omaha Jobber and manufacturer all eem to be well pleased with the way In which business for the year Is opening. Their trave.lng salesmen are once more on the road, somo of them with spring lines and others with samples for next fall, and In all cases they have done remarkably well for so early in the yeur. Merchants who have been In the city haye also ex pressed the belief that this year will be far more satisfactory In many respects than was last year, and consequently there Is a general feeling cf confidence, which augurs well for future business. A good deal of attention last week was. of course, devoted tn tuklnir Inventory, but In suite of thnt fact the total volume of business transacted was unusually large for the time of year. From the general course of prices last week It look very much. Jobbers say. as though strong markets are to be experi enced for some time to come. Several im portant advances took effect on staple lines and other are being predicted, while those which are net exactly advancing are con- Mrut firm with nrnctlcallv nothing to ln- j dlcate lower prices for the'present. That. of course, makes ft a gooo maraei ior omn buyers and sel'.ers to operate on. and mer chants can feel safe In stocking up at pres ent prices. According to recent advices from the rountrv, merchants are going to carry out but little heavy stock. In many cases they will undoubtedly have to sell considerable stock at s'lghtlv reduced prices during the next few weeks, but taking their fall and winter business as a whole they have had a very prcflt ible trade and very few com plaints are heard on that score. Collections are reported as being quite satisfactory and jobbers, found wry few bad account on their book January 1. Sugar Market Much Higher. Wholesale grocer report business as mtiii.tl.ii7 nut I ti a VArv an t isf .iplnrv mnliner. I and In fuct more so than was the ease a 1 year ago. Tho outlook is considered very encourging for a heavy spring business. The sugar market attracted considerable attention last week, as it was In a very excited condition. At the close of the wees ruling prices were from 20c to 25c per Ml pound higher than those In force the week bofore. This was brought about by an ad vance In railroad rates from the south to Missouri river points of 12c per PXi pounds, and that was followed Immediately by an advance of loo per lou pounds in the price of all giades of refined sugars. The raw market in both New York and London ad vanced dally. On Friday there was an ad vance In New Vork of He and in London of 8c. Owing to this very strong position of the raw market, further advances on re fined sugar are hourly expected. The coffee market Is also steadily firm ing, as has been previously predicted. The advance lust week amounted to from 20 to 25- points. New York reports' consider able Improvement In the demand from the Interior, while receipts irotn ranios mm Rlos are fulling off. These light receipts, together with the failure of one of the largest operators In Santos, has had a tendency to strengthen the market still more and therefore higher prices are being freely predicted. There Is nothing particularly new in tho canned goods line. Corn packers are en deavoring to secure orderH for fell de-' livery, but a yet It Is understood thut they have not secured much business. The tomato market la without change. The the general belief Is that the bottom of the market ha surely been reached. Oyster 8 acker eem to be getting their prices own to bedrock, a they are now con siderably lower than they have been for the last year. In the line of dried fruits, peaches are attracting considerable attention, and it is learned that Chicago. St. Louis and other large centers are trying to pick up any thing available In the hands of Jobbers, as the coast market has advanced sharply within the last few days. Evaporated ap ple are also attracting attention and prices have advanced from Mo to He, according to grade. The market on woodenware Is also In a very strong position and Jobbers are con fident that higher prices will rule In the near future. The same Is true of fish. The outlook for a brisk trade is very prom ising and Jobber say with a good deal of confidence that hleiier prices will rule In the future on nearly all kinds of fish and that stocks at present prices will prove a good investment. Cotton Good t'nehana-ed. The cotton goods market 1 In Just about the same position it was a week ago and the wise ones In the trade are predicting that there will be no very important changes for some little time. They base their belief on the ground that at present prices manufacturers can get about all the business they need and, in fact, many of the largest mills are Bold up for several months. That being the situation, there seem to be no particular advantage in breaking the market on manufactured lines even though the price of raw cotton has tuken a drop. The tendency among cotton planters is to hold their crop and consequently it does not look as though offerings from this time on will be very heavy. Of course there may be some re adjustment of prices on certain lines, but us stated above, the general belief is thut present prices will rule for some time to come. There is nothing new to be said of the woolen goods market In addition to what has previously been reported. The ten dency of the market Is upward on every thing that contains wool owing to the ex tremely high price being paid for the 1LH6 clip. So far as trade is concerned local jobber cav that business Is opening very nicely, with prospects for the future brighter than ever before at this season of the year. Traveling men ar out with their spring lines and are doing a nice business. Ad vance orders are now being filled as rap Idly aa possible and during the next two months an Immense quantity of dry goods will be shipped from this market. Be fore traveling men started out last week they expressed themselves as being very certain of breaking their records of- last year, owing to the general feeling of con is Jan. 10, wmmw Harney Just He may want a good We have 2 Landaus and u Kockawaya.
