The members of the Livestock association have been for some time opposed to the application of the tonnage system in the method of transporting livestock, the opposition being on the ground that the system reduced the speed of trains and thereby caused heavy shrinkage In the weight and value of animals. The livestock association also asked that the return pass privilege he restored to bona fide shippers and that there be a readjustment of freight rates. The meeting waa exceedingly harmonious. During the discussion the traffic managers conceded that the livestock service during the past year bad not been satisfactory and that representations made by the stockmen would be immediately taken up.

Russia dims not want to be placed in the imsition of refusing to allow the consuls to enter iiimh their duties, but with a state of war exist ing and commerce at a standstill, military considerations are paramount, and Russia might consider herself warranted In interpreting such a course to ba political rather than commercial.
