Qulth announced that Great Britain a
realised surplus for the year 1907-08
amounted to t3630000 which he satd
would be largely applied to the reduction
of the natlsnal debt. Commenting on th

said this had proved practical; that It had
worked easily; that It had removed ir-
regularities and that It bad brought In
t9.40O.OOO more than had bean estimated.
The nattonal debt tha premier said had
(Men reduced by approximately JS8.0OOn
during the last year. A further reduction
( about 176000000 would be effected dur-
ing the current year and Great rirllaln s

INCREASE IN RATES
AUTHORIZED BT INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION
And Ta'oiUypprored by the Preai
dent Causes Cnlberaon to Refer to
Complaints in Public Press.
(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON. May 7. Referring to
his bill to prevent railroads from raising
freight rates Senstor Cullierson of Texas
today called the Attention of the senate
to newspsper publicstlons to the effect
thai the railroads of the country with
the approval of the president and inter-
stain commerce commission have agreed
to an Increase In rates. He said It was
etat.-d In one publication that the presi-
dent had agreed to this Increase of rates
as a:: offset for his action In blocking a
Kenernl reduction of wages by rstlroads.
This statement he added quoted Chair-
man Knapp as In favor of the advance
in rates A Western paper declared that
ti ls In. rease of rates by the railroads
would amount to several hundred mil-
lions of dollars annually.
Kxprc.v-lng aurpi Ise that the senator
from Tevas was objecting to the com-
mission fitting the rales which the Hep-
hum rale law gave them power to do.
.Wr. Koraker reminded Mr. Culberson
that he (Culberson) had voted for that
law When the rate law passed he
auded. It was supposed It would result
In lower rates; but with the exception
of action taken shortly after Its passage
the commission had affected rates only
to Increase them.
e
"The law authorises the commission
to fix rates only on complaint" Inter-
posed Mr. Culberson.
Mr. Money) declared that he could not
believe the president had agreed to any
bii. h thing as sn Increase of rates "and
plunder the people of this country.'
Mr Foraker said he knew nothing of
tha president's suggested connection with
this matter.
"I don't believe." he said "he will be
found to be a party to any agreement
to raise rates In violation of the law.
His whole concern has been that the
shippers should have the benefit of the
reduced rates."
