Further Generalization In FFelShts.
The rates on fourth class freight, in car
loll lots between this city and leading
points East and West have still further
declined. Yesterday nails were shipped
to New York at 0 cents, to Chicago at s,
and to Kansas City at 1S cents. To-day
theratCs will be cents to Chicago, 8
rents to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, II cents to Kansas City, 8 cents to
Cincinnati and indianapolis, and only tuo
cents per keg OF nails to Cleveland. The
BcIaire Mills shipped nails, yesterday
10 Cleveland at s. per car, $50 kegs III a
ar The Top Mill shipped lot to New
York at cents per keg, One ortwo OF
The mills have been shipping pretty freely
to Kansas City at 10 cents. To-day they
will ship for two cents less. The rate 10
East st. Louis is still IA cents. These
rates are too ridlculously low to last long,
but they may be still further reduced be-
fore the end Of the fight comes. There is
no fight ut this point between the Balti-
more & Ohio and the Pennsylvania Roads.
The collision is between Vanderbilt and
tue Pennsylvania, and between these two
the war is fierce. The Pennsylvania peo.
pie say, rs old lack Chandler said the
other day, that they have loaded their
gun for bear this time and mean to draw
blood every shot. Hence they have not
hesitated to force the fighting and knock
prices down to dead low rates on grain,
live stock, iron merchandise and all fourth
class freight. ~
1t swell that the new California con
stitution does not prevail in these parts
for one Of its provisions is to the effect that.
when rates are once reduced by railroads
they cannot be raised again save by the
railroad commissioners Of the State.
As to the merits Of the fight, that is a
matter that no man can find out. The
Pennsylvania road accuses Vanderbilt OF
bad faith, or, in plain words, with sham.
less ialsehood and treachery in regard to
the observance Of agreements, but this is
charge that every trunk line makes
against every other trunk line atleast once
aycar, aud really means little or nothing
in railroad circles. The chronic condi.
ton OF the trunk lines is to have q fight
either going on or threatened, and this
condition results mainly from tho explana.
ton made by Vanderbilt two or three
years ago, viz: that there are four trunk
lines with only business enough for two:S
In addition to the four great.lines, there
is the water way from Chicago to New
York, which competes actively at this seas
sonof the year for the grain business and
all heavy freight. The water line is glad
Just now to carry grain from Chicago to
New York for cents per bushel, and this
willingness fixes the rate and makes all
the railroads active competitors for the
export trade Of the West. 7hi ~ arEiat

MovExExTs OF nRlrIsu FORCES.

IloSDoS, May ga special dispatch
from CapetoSn says: The Dragon Guards
go to Transvaal, not TO Zululand. Some
accounts say the change is intended to
oyerawe the Beers and others, and to
guard the border.
A correspondent with Colonel Wood, at
Kambala, telegraphs under date OF the 4th
inst, that he understands that the scheme
for invasion will undergo important modf-
tications. The idea Of concentration at
Doomherg has been abandoned. Colonel
Newdegate's column will concentrate some
miles further north. Colonel Woods
brigade is no longer intended to act indie.
pendently on Colonel Hewdegate's flank,
but the two forces will amalgamate when
the invasion commences. The line OF
march will probably be along the Umve.
losi river. 1t is thought that the Zulas
will make strong stand to cover Ulundi.
Probably the system of cutting adrift from
the base when the advance commences
will be abandoned, and chain of fortified
posts be constructed as the invasion pro-
ceeds, TO which escorted conveys will con.
vey necessary supplies. This must retard
progress, and the heconviction is general that
the war will be prolonged over two cam.
paigns. f7n-

The result Of the attack from behind

the Chilians fired upon the town first the

several women and children. The affair
at Mollendo was also caused by the attack
upon the Chilian boats. The Diplomatic

COTTON WAREHOUSE DESTROYED.

A fire broke out to-day in the storage
warehouse, corner OF Bridge and State
streets, leased by John s. Richards, and
owned by ]. Stewart. The building was
almost entirely filed with cotton, and it
is thought the fire may have been smouId.
ering for a considerable time before
It was observed. The iron shutters on the
Pearl street side became red hot. The fire
ragged so tiercely shortly after it was dis.
covered that four alarms we're sent out. In
consequence OF bales Of cotton being pack.
ed closely up to the windows very little
effective work could be done from the
streets. The whole interior OF the building
seemed like a furnace. Four! workmen
were on the top floor when the fire broke
out, but succeeded in making their escape
by sliding down a rope to the sidewalk.
The building was said to be worth $4,000
and was fully insured. The amount OF
stock which it contained was. valued at
$500, 900. W. Black & Co. had lO, 90 bales OF
cotton; Grafrey 4 Co., 100 bales; Putnam,
1000 bales; Weir, Murphy & Co., 1000
bales; B. R. Smith, 40 bales; and Fissch.
or Bros, 100 bales. II is thought that the
contents OF the three top floors were en-.
tirely DESTROYED. The first floor contained
800 bales Of cotton and about the same
number of bales OF hops. It is said that a
series Of fires occurred in the same block,
OF an incendiary character, in lS84-67,
when several tiremen lost their lives. The
origin Of the present fire is unknown, and
the insurance could. not be learned as Mr.,
richards was out Of town.

Language, and seems. also to Be'Eery- little
acquainted with the history OF Germany.
For proof Of this refer to the heading
Of dispatch in his paper, about week

German Exchequcr, was in Rome, and
had been received at the Vatican" Now,
! want TO say that Herbert is a son OF
Otto Bismarck, the German Premier. The
heading Of that dispatch, springing from
the brains Of said editor, indicates that he
Is sadly deficient in German history.
