Long and Short Haul Claims of Inter

Washington, April 8. 'In the United
States supreme court today an opinion
was handed down by Justice White
in various cases involving the long and
short haul clause of .the dntietrstate com
merce law.
The principal opinion was rendered
in the case of the Bast Tennessee &
Georgia 'Railroad company and the
charge was to the effect that a lower
rate was charged on freight carried to
Nashville than was charged on freight
.to Chattanooga, the distance to the
first point being greater than 'to the
latter. .
The decisions of the interstate com
merce commission, the circuit court and
the circuit court of appeals were ai11 an
tagonistic to the railroad company
though on Kfifferteint grounds. The opin
ion handed down today reversed' all
these decisions and was in favor of the
rai'road company though without prej
udice.
The decisions in other sdmiuar cases

Minister Wu CaUs on State Department in Anxiety to Know

Washington, April 8. The Chinese
minister was an early caller at the
state department today to seek Infor
mation as to the report that there had
been an interruption of ddplomaitie in
tercourse .between Russia and China.
Mr. Wu had not been advised of amy
such developmlent, and the dnf ormation
before the tstaite department was so
contradicted that it did not - permit any-
clear explanation of the rteal irtate of
laffadrs.
Doubt arises from the fact that
Rjoctohill's latest dispatch does not
intention any such ddsagreemient, and

iNew York, April 8. Indications to
day were tT at ithe representatives of
the employees of the Central' railiroad
of Ne w Jersey had not made out a vtery
giood case regarding the grievances of
the men. "Chief -Clarke of the conduc

whether to strike or not but he would
not venture a prediction as to whether
a strike wouM actually occur.
Rumors are flying thick today re-B-ardine
dissensions in the ranks of the

thev came here and found the griev
much exaggerated that they
were placed in a false position and th!s
was one reason 'they left the city.

intimations of discord have not taken
actual form.
Yet .the despatch received from
Squires, American charge d'affaires,
in the absence of Conger, appears to
have been quite explicit that ithe diffi
culty had already made itself manifest. 7
The state department maintains an
attitude of doubt and expectancy, and
is not yet preparted to admit that hers
ha been an interruption of intercourse
between the two countries. The latest
advices from Pekin, however, reporting
that an interrup'tion ha actually oc
curred, seems to be directly in line with
the threat previously conveyed by
Russia.
