One of their propositions was to elect for a term of one year five vice presidents and general managers to con stitute an executive committee for the adjudication of differences between members. This provision has b6en withdrawn and the following inserted in its.pjace: At each regular meeting the Association shall consider and voto upon all changes in rates proposed, of which due notice has been given and all parties shall be bound by the decision of the association so ex pressed. In case tho member present ing the subject cannot abide by the vote of the association, then tho subject shall be referred to the chairman of the asso ciation and he shall request four repre sentatives of lines in tho association to act with him in adjudicating the differ ences. All subjects so referred to the chairman must be acted upon and in terested parties notified of the recom mendations within five days after such reference. The recommendations of a majority of this special committeo shall be bind ing upon all, unless tho parties present ing the subject shall give the associa tion or- chairman definite written notice that in thirty days thereafter they will make modifications, notwithstanding the vote of the association and the rec ommendation of the special committee. Such written notico must be filed with the chairman within five days after receipt of tho recommendations of tho special committee. Should any member insist upon a reduction in rates against the views of two-thirds of the members and of the special committee, and if iu tho judgment of such two-thirds the rates 60 mado, affect seriously upon other traffic, then the association may. by a two-thirds vote, put in effect correspond ing rates on such traffic trains, to take effect the same day. By uuanimous consent any rate, rule or regulation re lating to freight traffic may be modi fied at any meeting of the association with previous notice. The other amend ments will go before tho meeting as they were originally drawn up. Atchison Arbitrators Chosen. F. C. Donald and Oscar O.

Navy dapart ment officials aro alrsady considering the naval program to be presented for consideration at the next session of con gress. It is understood that the inten tion U to ask for several cruiisrs ospa cially designed for long and distant cruising, particularly for service in the PaciSc. To comply with the needs of that service, where docking facilities are few and far be tween., it is proposed to construct a moderate fleet of cruisers of 2,000 tons displacement, of fair speed and great coal carrying capacity." Experience has not been snch a3 to 'promote faith in their efficiency in times of war, and it is deemed sound policy to propare for the protection of a great com merce on that ocean by making a fleet of sheathed steel ship3 for that duty, the same as England and Gar many have done. Plans aro already prepared for vessels of this kind, and it is estimated that the expense of con struction will not exceed that of the preient type, if account is taken of the great reduction in docking expenses and increased efficiency during a cruise.
