ENGLAND AND EGYPT.
The Recent Explosion to be Investigat-
ed-SuppOsed Incendiarism Troops to
be Retained in EgYpt-ArrivaI of
Wounded at Portsmouth.

LONDON, September 29.-The government
has telegraphed to Cairo ordering that an
investigation be made into the cause of the
explosion which occurred there Yesterday
and that the result Of the inquiry be
promptly reported.
The transport Carthage has arrived at
Portsmouth with IL officers and 10l men
wounded at Tel ell Kebir on board. Five
others who had been wounded died on the
voyage.
The 7imss, in leader, says: SIT has
been decided to retain, for the present
$4,000 men in Egypt to carry on and con-
solidate the work for which the suppression
OF Arab Pasha does little more than clear
the way"
CARo, September 29.-The authorities
consider that the country generally is so
rapidly turning TO its normal condition that
future display of force is unnecessary.
The explosion at the railway station YES
terdaY continued ~ brief intervals for over
three houra s4i t-l q. .... :, 3,lg efforts OF the
military, although they were hampered by
the lack Of pumping gear, the ire was pre-
vented from spreading aud fnally gotten
under control. The passenger station was
saved, but all the freight sheds
containing ten days provisions for the
army, and about ten hundred trucks OF am
munition, were destroyed. 1t is reported
on good authority that five men were
killed and twenty wounded. The railway
officers express the belief that the fire was
OF incendiary origin. They noticed that the
trucks on two separate lines OF
track blazed up simultaneously. Suisse
quent to the first explosion two Arabs
were seized in the act Of firing Trucks, but
escaped. The fire began among the smmu-
bitfOn caDtured from the Ecvntians Soma
accounts attribute the explosion 70 an ac-
cidental blow on a percussion shell
while the military, at the request
OF the railway authorities, were
removing the ammunition, which
had been stored in the railway shed for some
days. 1t appears clear, however, that the
Arabs endeavored to spread, II they did not
cause the fire. The traffic of the railway
will not suffer serious interruption. Troops
pstroled the streets last night. The loss in
stores and ammunition is estimated at 915,-

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
In Session in BaltimOre-The Fertilizer
and Palmetto Interests Present Their
Claims.

BALTIMORE, September 29.-Elght of the
nine Tariff Commissioners arrived here this
morning. A brief morning session was
held, but, no witnesses being present, re-
cess was taken until 2 o'clock, at which
time the Interests of manufacturers of
chemicals and fertilizers contain
ing sulphurie or muriatIc acid.
were represented by r. w. S. Rasin, Of
Baltimore. He said that this interest was
one Of the largest in the State,
aud was equally large in the
Southern and Western States.
He read petitions asking the
commission to make such recommendations
as will give to the American manufacturers
OF sulphuric and muriatic acids and agri-
cultural fertilizers such protection as they
are entitled to. They say that It does not
stand to reason that American manufac-
turers, with their expensive plant and
large capital and costly skilled Ia
Dor, can compete with the foreign
article that costs the compounder OF artifi-
etal chemicals nothing. 1t was a common
thing for heavy goods to be imported from
Englsnd to Germany at merely nominal
freights, and a whole cargo had
last, whilst such goods could not be
shipped from Norfolk to Savannah at less
than from 81 > to s. per ton. The manu-
facture OF these chemicals and fertilizers
had grown to be q business of great mag
nitude, from ninety to one hundred mil
lions OF dollars being invested in it in
Baltimore, Charleston, Atlanta, New
One-third of these investments
In Baltimore were now idle, whilst the i'm
ports Of European articles had increased In
five years from few hundred tons to IS 900
tons IN 1881, and consequently the price Of
sulphuric acid had fallen from 81 25 per
hundred pounds, giving fair living profit,
to % cents, involving ruinous loss.
Some half a dozen similar, petitions,
signed by the principal manufacturers Of
chemicals and fertilizers, were presented by
Messrs. Rasin, Of Baltimore; jackson, of
New York, and Allen, of Philadelphia,
the general suggestiC being that duty Of
30 per cent. be imposed on foreign chemi-
Gals, and that Spanish pyrltes or sulphur
ore be admitted free of duty. 1t was stated,
however, that as TO the latter point, there
was not unanimi(y OF sentiment among
the chemical manufacturers.
Silas L LoOmis, Of Fernandina, FloIida,
presented the claims OF the manufacturers
Of palmetto fibre to protection under the
tariff. He said that 1t had been found by
experience that fibre made from palmetto
could be used in the making Of mating,
brushes, carpets, hats and cloth. He
asked that bamboo and rattan and cocoa
flores that are now on the free
list be taxed from one cent per pound to
four cents. When partially worked into
rope or fibre he used machine by which a
ton OF palmetto fibre was produced daily
1t competed with jute, hemp, tamplco, and
almost all OF those foreign fbres coming
from the palmetto family.

The Chicago League Claims the Cham

Over an Attempt to Break the Com

CHICAGO, September 29-Yesterday's VIC
tory over the Buffalo club gives the Chi
cago League the championship for 1882
The Chicago club has won ifty-four games
with one more game to play. The Provi-
dence club has won ifty-one games and has
two more games to play, so that winning
both it would still be a game behind the
Chicago club. 1t is understood that The

Of the Providence club, received a message
from Spaulding, representing the Chicago

not be well to ignore the Philadelphia COM
pact and settle the championship by the
present schedule, as he had been
advised that that compact was Illegal,
unconstitutional and not binding.
Winship telegraphed that he should live up
to the compact and expect the other sign

O'Clock yesterday afternoon to accept and
abide by the compact, when, if no answer
was received, he should make the matter
public. No answer was received. II the
compact is declared void, efforts will be
made to have the vote whereby the Buffalo

IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Power of the Illinois Legislature to
Regulate Rates to Points Outside the
State.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, September 29-An
opinion was rendered by the Illinois Su-
preme Court yesterday, In the case involving
the question of the power of the State Legls-
lsture to regulate the rates charged by rail-
roads for freight carried to points outside Of
Illinois, and whether the act prohibiting un-
just discrimination in such rates is not In
contravention of the Constitution Of the
United States. The case is one wherein
&c per cent. larger rate was charged on
haul from Gilman to New York than on
haul from,Peoris to New York, though the
distance from Peoria is greater by eighty-six
miles. It was held by the court that the
charge was unjust, excessive, extortionate
and unlawful, and in effect the court up
holds the authority OF the Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners to regulate
fr right charges from points in an outside
State.

THE LUMBER INTEREST.
Savannah Lumber Merchants Re.
fore she Railroad Commission.

The Railroad Commission had meeting
at Atlanta on Wednesday to consider certain
complaints lodged by the lumbermen, and
to hear the railroad representatives in the
matter Of the reduction Of lumber rates on
the Central and the Macon and Brunswick
division of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad. The lumbermen were
represented by L. johnson, George Haslsm,
D. C. Bacon, 7. B. Thompson, A G. Smart,
E H. Bacon, Mills Perkins, Z. r. Carr, J. s.
Bells, +. P. Allen and John G.. Rountree.
The railroads were represented by w. G.
Raoul. Vice President, and G. A. White
head, General Freight Agent OF the Central
Railroad, W. V. McCracken, Superintend-
ent, J. K. Ogden, General Freight Agent,
and j D. Griffin, Assistant Freight Agent of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Road; Wallace Mcpherson, General South
ern Agent Of the Louisville aud Nashville
Railroad.
The complaint of the lumbermeu was that
the reduced price of lumber and the de-
creased demand, together with the low
rates Of freight which the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railroad had put in force, were
such that their mills would have to cease or
q reduced rate would have to be given them.
They complained that several mills on the
Central had already stopped, and that the
owners were still feeding their mules; that
the Commissioners rates which were given
In 1889 were higher than the rates hereto
fore charged by the railroads. But as the
price OF lumber was then from $l6 to SIS
per thousand, they did not complain. Now,
however, lumber was only $l1 so to $13;
whereas in 1879 It was worth $l2 to $14, and
the rates then were much lower than the
present rates allowed by the Commission.
They also complained that the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railroad mills were
getting all the trade, as the rates were very
little more than one-half of the Commits
sioners' rates. The railroad men stated that
the Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad
had merely put these rates into effect in
July to last until November 1st, when
the Commis sioners' rates would be re-
instated. A considerable discussion was
held by both sides. Major McC-acken
stated that since his railroad had been COM
pleted to Atlanta from Macon he had re-
duced the rates on lumber five dollars per
car to Atlanta, aud that their rates from all
other stations would be, so soon as the road
was completed to Rome, very much lower
in proportion than any printed rates of any
railroad that he knew OF In America, being
for four hundred miles only three-fourths OF
cent per ton per mile, and that IL the
present rates were continued in force on
short hauls they expected to put these lum-
Der rates into force over the Norfolk and
Western, East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, Memphis and Charleston and
Shenandoah Valley Railroads, and thus give
lumbermen in Southeast Georgia an outlet
as far north as Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
New York and other points. He contended
