SUGAR RATE WAR. Mobile A Ohio Demand! KB Ironclad Cnderatandlng. SPECIAL TC THB Nxiws. New Orleans, Oot. The Mobile Ohio, acting with the initial road, the New Orleans Northeastern, has demanded an ironclad understanding between the executive heads of Interested lines and a delay of sixty days before it will agree to restore the old rates on sugar to Missouri and Kansas Jobbing points.

Unless the executives of the various roads will glye assurances that the normal rate will be rigidly adhered to under all circumstances the Mobile Ohio will insist that the present rate of 20c and 25c, tho result of the rato war, continue In- effect. This attitude of the Mobile Ohio Is the result of two years of trouble over sugar rates. The Nev Orleans lines assert that tho Eastern lines have been in the habit of putting the rate down, moving all the sugar possible and then requesting that the normal rates be restored. During the past ten months agreement after agreement has been broken and each time the New Orleans lines responded willingly to the request to restore normal rates. The action of tho Savannah and Mallory steamship ines recently, following so closely on the trouble given by Northwestern lines, has )ut the New Orleans lines completely out of jumor.

Consequently a few days ago, when Chairman Mahoney of the Western trunk com- I mittee presented tho request of offending steamship lines that thCLtiormal rates be restored, they were told mat the proposition first have to be investigated. The freight agents of the various roads lave got together In family conferences and have outlined a course of action. This was ent to Chairman Mahoney today. He was old by the Mobile Ohio that that road would insist on. a conference between exec- utlvo heads of interested roads before rates be restored.

At that meeting an iron- lad understanding, making future offenses must he had. Independent of any understanding, the Mobile Ohio de- clare.d that no change whatever will be made within sixty days.

They are retiring hastily and It Is hiu-dly likely that they will make another stand south of Mukden unless along the Hun River. The strategy of tho Japanese apparently has been entirely successful and the cooperation of the left, center and right armies has been perfect. The battle began unexpectedly on Sunday night, Oct. 9, by an attack on a hill flvu miles north of Yentai, which the Russians have begun to fortify. The-right, column of the left army drove the Russians out after a hand to hand encounter.

On the samo night the center and left columns advanced and took up positions In a lino of villages four miles north of Yen- tai, placing their artillery and preparing lor a conflict on Monday.

He could not believe there could exist at Washington the opinion that such overtures would be entertained unless Japan had dlreotly indicated a wish to end the struggle. That Japan would be glad to make under the present favorable circumstances, he did not doubt, but Russia was by no means ready. "All the Powers fully understand Russia position," he said.
