The examination into the alleged freight discrmn-
ations by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company N
favor Of the Standard OIL Company was continued
to-day. Mr.. jefferson Justice. Assistant Auditor
Of the Pennsylvania road, produced paper showing
that. upon total of 3i3767 barrels of crude oil.
rebate OF SOS 1853 had been allowed TO the American
Transfer Company; but he said the character of his
duties would not permit of his explaining how his
road came to allow that rebate the transfer COM
pany named. A. j. Cassatt, third Vice Presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
said that the oil transported the road in
January, 1877, by the Empire Transportation Com
pany under contract. He gave the reasons why the
transportstions the Pennsylvania road ceased
and gave . detailed account of the various lines by
which oil carried 70 the seaboard from the wells
The witness said he unders the was
intended opposition to the Empire Transporta-
ton line. ''In August, 1877" he said, "Mr. ROcka-
feller. president of the Standard Oil Company; Will
lam f. Warden. of this city, and Others entered into
negotiations with the Pennsylyans Railroad Com
pany; l acted in behalf Of the latter company;
Hotel in this city, and the subject Of discussion
was whether some contract could not be made with
the Standard Oil Company by which this competi
sisted that they could make no contract arrange
ment while the oil business of the Pennsylvania Rail
road was carried through the Empire Transporta-
ton Company, which came up as q rival and menace
to the Standard OIL Company. The Empire COM
pany had refinery ut New York which the Standard
Company did not like and threatened TO withdraw
its patronage from the Pennsylvania Railroad Com.
pany. But the final blow was given. when. subse-
quent to complaints by the Standard company. the
Empire started rcfneries at Philadelphia.
He then said the Standard Oil Company wanted the
Pennsylvania to buy the United Pipe lines but the
Pennsylvania Railroad had negotiations with the
latter company. An agreement was finally consum-
mated with the Standard Oil Company about the LIST
of October. 1877. by the purchase of the Empire
Transportation Company by the Pennsylvania Rail-
ropd Company.

members can also be connected with another

wishes of M. Gambetta, who desires the fusion
of all sections of the republicans The Times
says:-'"This fusion is also desired by the radi-
Gals. Its defeat is fortunate, it would be
tantamount to nm occult Assembly, free from
