1 INTER-STATE COMMERCE, j
Ttie Commission Taking Testimony at St.
i Louis Relative to Shipping Rates,
Foreign and Domestic. k
y Telegraph to tne aierninjf omr.
St. Louis, Mo., June 15. Today
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion began taking testim ony here j re
lative To shipping rates, foreign and
domestic. The most important fea
ture of the session was the statement
of E. A., Drew, general freight agent
of I the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad, to the effect that negotia
tions! ire now in progress for the es
tablishment af an immense line of
steamers to run between Galveston
and all foreign points. . i .1 .
Mr. Drew testified that the M. K. 8c
T. was obliged to cut rates in order to
Keet the competition at Atlantic Sea
ard points. He said there was j a
blight ! difference between the export
rates on wheat and flour, but that the
domestic charge was the same. He at
tributed i the variance to the cause
stated. I . I
"Do you export grain at a loss?" Mr.
Drewlwas asked. "No, I can't say that;
butj we are not making money."
"If a uniform rate instead of the
Cut rate now in effect on jour
road,were introduced, could your line
still live?" "Well, sucn action wouia
f.
rive us out of the export business.'!
"What." Mr Drew was asked, "is
the future of Galveston as a distribu
tion point for grain?" "There is no
question that it is the coming point for
export business." I j-
"What is its strongest competitor?"
"New Orleans; but Galveston has been
growing in importance right along.
The Southern Pacific proposes to build
two large elevators there and other
improvements are contemplated that
will make its exporting facilities un
surpassed." ,

'J WINDINQ UP STANDARD Old
, But There Are Rumors of the Formation
f I of a New Trust ; U
Special to Baltimore Sun,
I New York, June 14. Wall street
was filled to-day with rumors of the
dissolution of the Standard Oil Com
pany and the possible formation j of a
new company under the laws of New
Jersey, in which the alleged features
which resulted in the adverse action
of the Ohio courts could be done away
with. j
An official has admitted that the
trustees have decided to go ahead and
wind, up in short order the affairs of
the trust as . directed by the i Ohio
courts. It is now expected that this
work will be done inside of a few
months. This same official denied
that anew trust, is to be organized in
New Jersey or in any other State.
He also stated that the assets of the
trust have been about two-thirds liqui
dated. If, therefore, the original val
ue of certificates outstanding was $95,
000,000 they would now, according to
this statement, amount to less than
$32,000,000, . j j '

FILIPINO DEAD AND WOUNDED
Natives Flooding Into Bacoor The Whole
Section Without Pood Rumored As
sassinition of General Luna
' Not Credited.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
Manila, June 15, Noon The Fourth
regular infantry and the Wyoming reg
iment have been added to General
Lawton's command and to-day they
were towed across in cascoes to Las
Pinas, preparatory to removing 'to
Imus, five miles 'inland, where the
rebels - are reported to have an
arsenal and a large quantity of sup
plies. Captain Cable, , of Gen. Wheaton's
staff, with three companies of the
Twenty-first regiment, reconoitered
in the direction of Imus. The rebels,
who were apparently expecting an
attack, retired, leaving behind them
twenty Spanish prisoners . who joined
the Americans. - The rebels have prob
ably gone to the mountains along the
lake -
According to native , stories, the
rebels carried 100 dead and 800
wounded through Bacoor after the re
cent battle. -
The natives are now flooding into
Bacoor, and it is probable that many
soldiers in plain clothes are among
them. The whole section is practi
cally without food and Major General
Otis has ordered the distiibution of
rice and beef to the inhabitants. -.
The Assassination of Luna.
Many people still refuse to credit
the story of the assassination of Gen
eral Luna, by the guard at Aguinal
do's headquarters, though the reports
to that effect are most circumstantial
and from good, sources. Rumors of
assassinations and disasters from the
rebel camp are so frequently printed
in the local papers that they have
come to be regarded with indifference.
The latest is that the governor of Cebu
has been killed -by natives because of
his friendship with America.
' A prominent commercial man with
exceptional means of learning of the
Filipinos .movements,"" claims to
know General Luna is still a
live, adding that if he,' were
dead and if his death occurredj
a month ago, people would have ex
pected a collapse of the revolution to
follow.
Overtures to Gain Time.
The failure of the Filipinos to follow
up the peace negotiations strengthens
the impression .that their overtures
were merely to gain time and in order
to lure the Americans to show their
hands.
v The Independeficia, a revolutionary
organ, of May 20th, a copy of which
has just been obtained, prints an inter
view with General Luna; showing the
arguments he used to keep up the
spirits of his followers. He represents
the Filipino cause as prospering, "be
cause the Americans have gained only
a hundredth part of Luzon by hard
fighting," and says the women and
children tilling the fields within the
American lines give proceeds of their
work to support the Filipino army.
He is said to have further remarked :
"More Americans will be killed by
ambuscade, surprises and disease than
in battles. I detest war, but we can
not accept peace at any price but in
dependence. The Americans suffered
for their own independence and in
their own .hearts they appreciate why
we resist them.
Volunteers Re-enlisting. :
Washington, June 15. Pursuing
a policy determined upon seme, months
ago, General Otis is organizing three
regiments in the Philippines, com
posed of officers and men of the State
volunteers who desire to remain in
the service. The army bill authorized
this kind of enlistment in the Philip
pines. If the full complement cannot
be made up from discharged volun
teers in the Philippines, the regiments
will be organized and officered in
skeleton form until recruits can be
sent from the United 6tates to fill
them. v
General Otis and volunteer officers
in the Philippines have been consult
ing to see how many men will enlist
The number has not been very large,
as there seems to be a desire on the
part of the volunteers to return to the
United States with their organizations.
The proposed regiments of regulars

that this supply will now be cut off

M. Meline, i an interview with

taken in the Dreyfus case, instead of

THE TARIFF CUT NO FIQUREj
Domestic Competition Kept Out All Foreign
- Sugar The Coffee Business Great
Increase In Production Cansed
Decrease in Prices
.By Telegraph to the Morning Star. ;
Washington, June 15. The indus
trial commission held only tin after
noon session and heard, but 1 witness to
day, J. N. Jarvie, of the firm of Ar
buckle and Bro.) and manager of the
firm's sugar refining business. Mr.
Jarvie's testimony was brief. V He was
easy and courteous in his attitude to
ward his inquisitors, refusing but one
question, that of how much it cost his
company to refine sugar. - He said he
did not wish to give information of
tbat sort to his business competitor.
Mr. Jarvie put the necessary margin
between fifty and . sixty points to al
low a profit on the business. He said
when his firm started business in 1898i
the margin was about J10. It had
dropped at low as 32 and was now
about 50. i . v T if
He explained the entrance of the
Arbuckles into the sugar field by say
ing ttyit in '93 they secured a machine
for weighing and packing sugar, and
undertook to sell package sugar to
the wholesale trade. They bought
from the'. American Refining Com
pany, but found they could make no
profit in that way, and so started their
own refinery. He said the tariff dif
ferential of one eighth of a cent prr
pound on refined sugar did not figure
in the business just now. ; Domestic
competition was so sharp as to keep
out all foreign sugar. Asked if the
removal of the one-eighth of a cent
would effect the business nOw, .he
said he did nbt know enough about
the foreign trade to say. . I
i Mr. Jarvie said there had been many
overtures from the Sugar Trust to set
tle the difference with the Arbuckles,
but they had all been made "for stock
jobbing purposes," and consequently
there had been nothing in them. !
' Witness, in speaking of the coffee
business in which the American Sugar
Refinery had invaded the Arbuckles',
field, said that while there had been a
decline in prices that" it would not be
fair to lay it all to competition as there
had been a great increase in coffee
production all over the world, last
gear's crop going from 11,000,000
bags to 15,000,000 bags. . Asked
if he could suggest any plan that
would lessen the present destructive
competition in the sugar business,
witness said that the fight could only
stop when the one big concern de
cided to be content with less than 100
per cent, of all the' business in the
country. ! - 1- jj - ;
i . When asked how long the ; rival
companies could keep on selling sugar
at a loss, Mr. Jarvie replied cheerfully
that he thought a concern supplying
90 per cent of the sugar sold in this
country would lose more under those
conditions than the firm suDDlvinar the
other 10 per cent, and that he had the
10 per cent, end of the bargain now.
