DION'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
New York, April 13. R, G. 'Dun &
Co.'s weekly levicw of trade says.
Tho principal Industries aud trades
maintain their recent gains In acth
ity and an amount of business is car
ried out which, although still below
the full limit or capacity, shows, nev
ertheless, a dlstjnct advance and Is
on the whole satisfactory. The good
spring weather generally prevailing-is
producing renewed activity in build
ing operations, which creates a de
mand for the various building ma
terials. It also facilitates the distribution
of merchandise, both wholesale and
retnll, and from a number of impoi
tant points in the middle west and
northwest come reports of expanding
operations. There is n fairly stea.
continuance of the recent notable gain
in business confidence in spite or the
temporary effect of passing events,
which affect In some degree the moro
speculative markets
Mill operations continue to expand
in iron an.1 steel and the leading in
terest Is now running at over 90 per
cent capacity Contracts hac been
placed by the car companies for
about G0.000 tons or plates and shapes
for second and third quarters and In
the contral west a scarcity of plates
for early shipments has developed.
Tin plate and sheet mills are booko
almost to capacity, and in wire goods
moro activity is noted.
While tho demand for cotton goods
Is somewhat less pronounced, the
market rules firm and further ad
vances have been made in a number
of lines. Export trade is quieter be
cause of price advances and the heavy
buying of recent weeks.

RELATIONS
Orozco No Longer Rec
ognizes U. S. Consul at
Chihuahua
Chihuahua, Mexico, April 13. The
quasi-official relations, which bj force
of circumstances have existed between
Mai ion Letcher, the United States
consul here, 'and General Pascuiil
Orozco, commander of the rebel
forces, wero broken when Orozco for
mally notified Mr Letcher that ho no
longer recognized the latter In an of
ficial capacity. This official ostra
cism includes also James I, Long, the
United States consular agent at Par
ral. v
In a general way tho reason given
by Orozco , for his action Is that ho
ennnot recognize representatives of a
government which does not recognize
the belligerency of the party of which
ho is the leader.
A scries of incidents, however, led
to the climax. SInco the revolution
began the consul from tlrao to time
has been compelled, in the absence of
other authority in Chihuahua, to take
up various matters with Orozco. The
latter frotted under the fact that the
consul did not address him as a reg
ularly constituted authority.
Less than a week ago a rebel band
wont through the Mexican Contral
train bound from Chihuahua to Juarez
and seized letters and documents car
ried by passengers, among the mat
ter seized being considerable of Con
sul Jether's official correspondence
addressed to the state department at
Washington.
ucicner rroiesica.
Mr. Letcher protected in no uncer
tain language to Orozco again6t tho
act. There wero several exchanges
over the matter until finally tho lib
eral leader -Informed the consul that
the letters had been seized because
cither they were stamped with Amer
ican stamps or not stamped at all.
Orozco declared that the fact that
the letters were not Intrusted (o tho
mails as conducted h the rebels was
an insult to them, not to mention tho
factthat bj using messengers instead
or tnc mails the rebel government is
deprived of legitimate revenue.
Jn conclusion, the consul was In
formed that his letters were In tho
os.ofice and that they were at hi
disposal as soon as he saw fit to
(nnh,da afexlcon po6taeo stamps.
Another incident which increased
the tension between Orozco and
e 2 LofChhand Un s h ex
ecution of Thomas Fountain an
f rcan soldier fighting under the
leadership of General Pancho V?lla. at
Fountain Not a Spy.
Fountain was not a spy, but a sol
dier, and was captured In uniform and
under arms. Notwithstanding this he
was condemned and shoL American
citizens attempted to Inferccde and as
a last resort Consul Letcher and Con
sular Agent Long delivered a request
said to hayo been signed by President
Taft In which the latter requested
that a stay of execution bo granted in
the case until a more thorough Inves
tigation could bo made.
Resents Interference.
This plea was rejected almost In
stantly, to the great Indignation of
American residents in Parral Their
protests against an act which they
declaro was against the rules of all
civilized warfare, reached the ears of
the rebel leader, but served only to
stiffen his attitude. His letter to Mr.
Letcher today plainly indicates his re
sentment against what he considers
unduo interference by Americans, in
cluding the consuls, In affairs of the
rebellion.
Since tho beginning of the revolt,
foreigners has been slow to trust
their communications to tho malls.
Almost invariably letters and docu
ments of importance have been con
fided to the care or passengers making
the trip to or rrom Chihuahua, Few
pustengers have left hero without a
package of mall to be posted In El
Paso, and most of the foreign mail
received here has been brought In by
tho same method.
American stamps, when available,
have been affixed or other provision
mado forpostagc whon the lettcrB
were mailed In El Paso. It has been
taken for granted that scaled missives
are no more sacred in Mexico now
than at any other tlmo when official
suspicion !s on the alert.

POL RATES
Commerce Commission
to Take Action Toward
Eeduction
Washington, April 13. Radical re
ductions In freight rates on wool both
In sacks and In bales transported froni
western polnrs of origin to eastern
destinations were prescribed yester
day by the interstate1 commerce com
mission. The opinion was lianded down by
Chairman Prouty. It holds that tho
present rate of $1.15 a hundred pounds
of wool In sacks from Colorado com
mon points -to -St. Louis should not
exceed SO cents and that from points
west of Cheyenne, Wyo., on the Union
Pacific, and Trinidad, Colo., on the
Santa Fe, the ratdto Sf. Louis might
be 2 cents higher for each additional
twenty-live miles. On the Denver &
Rio Grande a rate of 90 cents la au
thorized from tho first station west
of Pueblo, with a similar 2-cent In
crease from points farther west
Concerning the rates to be applied
on through shipments from western
points to Boston and Now York,
Chairman Prouty said they should be
constructed by adding to the rates
prescribed to St. Louis, in case of
sacked wool. 52 cents to Boston aud
48 cents to New York, In case of
baiod wool, 47 cents to Boston and 43
cents to New York.
In the Judgment of the commission,
tiansit privileges should be allowed
at Intermediate points on a direct line
by payment of 2 1-2 cents a hundred,
on condition that the shipments orig
inated west of the Mississippi.
Some Exceptions.
In certain instances the commission
permits the carriers to exact a high
er rate for a short than a long haul.
The rates which are to be put Into
effect May 1 for wool shipments from
the Rocky Mountain states v. ill su
persede the present rates to Boston
of $2.13 per 100 pounds from the ex
tensive blanket territory covered by
the Union Pacific lines and which Is
held to bo unreasonable. Tho ne"v
lates arc in all cases based on car
load lots of 25;000 pounds of sacked
wool and 32,000 pounds of compressed
or baled wool to the car. From Den
ver, Cho'yenne and Trinidad to St.
Louis the rate Is redticed to SO cents
per 100 pounds and the through rato
from these points to Boston Is re
duced to $1 32 per 100 pounds. Be
ginning aj Cheyenne an 1 going west
on the Union Pacific, the rate will in
crease " conts for each twenty-five
miles, which will make tho Ogden,
Salt Lake City and-slmllarly situated
points a through rate to Boston of
$1.72 per 100 pounds, being a reduc
tion of 41 cents from present rates.
Beginning at Trinidad, Colo . and go
ing west on the Santa Fe, the samo
Increase will be applied.,
Rates on the Rio Grande.
Upon the Denver & Rio Grande a
rate of $1.42 will be applied at tho
first station west of Pueblo, beyond
which the rato will Increase 2 cents
for each twenty-five miles. Rates upon
the narrow gauge lines of tho Denver
& Rio Grande and tho Western Pacific
may be somewhat higher than the
rates indicated with local conditions
being dealt with to dotermlne the In
ciease.
Rales upon baled wool wl'l be 15
Pr cent less than tho maximum rates
on sacked wool. Wool will not bo
classed as baled unless a density
equaling nineteen pounds to the cubic
foot lp secured.
The decision recites that carriers,
will be given until May 1 in which to
check in rates In substantial accord
with tho opinion of tho commission.
If that has not been done on the dato
named, the commission will proceed
to make a definite order establishing
tho rates.

HUDDLE
Secretary Fisher Says
Taft Is a True Pro
gressive Lincoln, Neb., April 13. Speaking
here last night in support of President
Taft's administration, Secretary .Wal
ter L. Fisher of the Interior 'depart
mcuCdeclared that, "absolutely re
gardless of the biicks that are thrown
trom either side," the president had
pressed forward toward the goal of
'accomplishment or real measures for
the advancement of the interests of
the whole people."
"You can bo pretty sure," said Sec
retary Fisher, "that any public man
Is In the middle of the road when ho
Is attacked by big business upon one
side and by those who are seeking to
advance their personal interests by
attacking big business upon the oth
er."
Mr. Fisher said he had entered
President Taft s cabinet "because
nothing but a lack of confidenco in
tho sincerity and high purpose of
President Taft would justify a refusal
his call.
"I became president of the Conser
vation League of America at the sug
gestion ol Mr. Roosevelt and Glfford
Pinchot," ho said. "I was for the
colonel for president when he was
only a lieutenant colonel. .In 1S9C
when ho had not yet been nominated"
for governor of New York, I was ono
of a llttlo group of enthusiasts In the
city of Chicago who flung to the
breeze a banner Inscribed, 'For Presi
dent In 1904, Theodore Roosevelt '"
Has Confidence In President.
The secretary declared that his con
fidenco In President Taft had "deep
ened into conviction isith closer ac
quaintance and a greater knowledge
of the ability and energy with whlcii
ho Is always working for the promo
tion of the public welfare."
"I understand Senator La Follette
has recently told you that he came to
Nebraska because Nebraska people
are Progressive," said Mr Fisher
"That Is the reason 1 have come :o
.Nebraska. I claim to be a Progres
sive Republican and I wish to say
something to jou about the so-called
Progressive policies and their rela
tion to the Republican nomination for
president.
" I believo that the position of Taft
with relation to them has been mis
understood and misrepresented. I,
myrclf. have had the distinction of
being under suspicion by both radi
cals and reactionaries. My claim to
being a Progressive is based, not upon
mero adocacy of the Progressive pol
Iqlos In a theoretical and academic
way, but upon practical efforts to se
cure definite results, especially in tho
movement for tho shot ballot, the di
rect primary, the referendum and the
locall "
Taft a True Progressive.
Secrctarj Fisher said President
Taft had taken a Progressive attitude
upon all those questions.
"He believes In reducing the num
ber of elective officers, which is tho
'short ballot,'" he said "He believes
In the direct primary and In the pres
idential preference at tho direct pri
mary; he bclloves in the Increasing
but conservative uso or the referen
dum, and the onb application of tho
recall ho has opposed is tho recall of
Judges.
"Upon all those questions gonuinoly
Progressive men disagree about the
form in which, and the extent to
which, these changes In governmental
methods should be adopted by tho
states. To make them the test in the
selection of a Republican nominee for
the presidency is to divide men who
should act together. Tho real issues
or next November aro to be Tederal
Issues, such as the tariff and the
regulation of the trusts.
"Here again the differences between
the militant reformer and the con
structive statesman Is well illustrated
In tho attitude and action of the pres
ident Ills tariff commission has, for
the lime, given to congress and the
country the real facts upon which
constructive tariff legislation can be
framed. I think it is entirely within
bounds to state that not ono of tho
president's critics has made a suc
cessful or even a serious attack upon
these reports."

of ground over which it was thought
young Long liosslbly could have wan
dered. Money was "spent lavishly, but
It brought no result and the relatives
returned home, leaving the search In
tho hands of officers and private de
tectives. Carson Long wns sont west last No
