RATES OF THE OIL OCTOPUS.
A Witness Makes Out a Case Of Dis

A Witness Makes Out a Case of Dis
elimination Against a Road.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The House Com
mittee on Manufactures resumed its in
vestigation into the Standard Oil trust this
morning. Harlow Dow, OF Memphis,
Tenn, was called. He said he was engaged
in buying and selling oil from persons and
companies in opposition to the STANDARD Oil
Trust. The witness was questioned at
length concerning the rate OF charges
Southwestern railway formerly the
Chesapeake and Ohio to towns
north of Memphis, to himself, and the rate
to the Standard Oil Trust The witness
said that on every barrel of oil shipped in
less than carload lots to these cities he had
been for some years past obliged
to pay first-class rates, while the
Standard Trust had been getting fourth
class rates on shipments of less than ten bar
rels He had complained of this to B. f.
Mitchell, general freight agent of the road,
but had secured no redress.
HIS TRADE AFFECTED.
The witness had had good trade with
town forty miles up the road, but had lost
it because rats were so unjust to him, as
compared with the Standard company.
Since the passage of the interstate com
merce law there had been practically NO
change in this condition Of things. There
were three railroads in that section of coun-
try which Disseminated against aim and
in favor of the Standard trust.
These were the Illinois Central,
formerly the Mississippi and Tennessee, the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Southwestern
and Louisville and Nashville railroad COM
panies. He had been practically driven
out of the business in the localities covered
by those roads, except in places where there
was water communication, and on certain
kinds of trade of an undesirable character.
UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.
J. L. Dickey, assistant general freight
agent of the Western and Atlantic rail
road, running from Chattanooga to Atlanta,
Testified that in 1886 his road advanced the
rate given Mr. Rice, an oil shipper opposed
to the Standard Company, from S35 to 800
per car The former rate was a special one,
and the latter was a re-esta bhshment of the
old rate under an agreement with parallel
line. The East Tenness 70 road at that time
received S22 80 per car as its share of
through rate to the Standard company
from Cincinnati to Atlanta, and that rate
was not increased. One reason for the diff
ference arose from the fact that one was
local aud the other a through rate. The
st ndard company also shipped in tanks,
whlie Rice shipped ins barrels, Under Il
recent decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission the same rates were now
charged on tank and barreled oil, and
through rates had also been increased.

ties of Rochefort gave a banquet in
honor of President Carnot last even
ing. The President started from
Rochefort for Paris this morning. A crowd

tions.

REMOVAL OF THE CRoFrERs.
A Lively Debate on the Bill in the

A Lively Debate on the Bill in the
House of Commons.
LONDON, May lin the House of Com
mons to-day, Rt. Hon. Mr.. Mcdonald, Lord
Advocate of Scotland, stated that the gov
ernment proposed to advance 10000 to
promote the emigration of crofters to
Canada, in addition to the sum raised by
private subscription. Each crofter family
viii receive 9l20. to be repaid to the gov
ernment in twelve yearly installments.
Free land will be given to the Crofters by
the Canadian Government.
Gavy Clark moved that the House ad-
journ in order to consider the question of
imminent danger to law and order in the
highlands and islands of Scotland, resulting
from the collapse of the Crofters' act.
The speaker asked Mr.. Clark If he had
the support Of forty members, whereupon
the Parnellites and number of Liberals
arose.
The Lord Advocate, in defending the
governments proposal, contended that
without the removal Of large part of the
congested population it was hopeless to
mitigate the poverty In the Highlands; but
unless an agitator went among the people
there was no reason to fear breach of the
laws. After debate. in which theiTrish and
Scotch members took part, Mr.. Clark's
motion to adjourn was negatived by vote
of 205 to 80.

were an aspersion upon the character and
patriotism of the Southern people. What
Southern State had sought to revive
slaveryl What Southern statesmen now
advanced the doctrine OF secessioni Not
one. In answer to Mr. Ingalls, charges that
the vote cast in the recent Louisiana cleo
tlon exceeded the voting population of the
State, Mr.. Gibson quoted from Spofferd's IS
almanac figures to show that the vote of
Kansas in the election of 1884, exceeded the
number of males over 81 years of age in the
State.
ARRAYING THE RACES.
Why, he asked, did the Northern Repub-
lcans seek to array the Southern blacks
against the whites5 Why would they put
in peril the growing interests OF the new
civilization when they knew that the white
people of the South had problem to solve
which was unique! None of the great ques-
tions which had been solved in former
times compared in any degree with this
problem. which must be settled by
the white and colored people of
the South; true, on the surface
there was occasionally ripple and white
or black man was wronged, but the great
body of the people reposed like rock upon
its foundation, upon the sentiments of re-
ligion, charity, good will and patriotic en-
deavor that constitute the base upon which
the structure of our government must re-
pose. The Southern people were doing
their best; with benevolence, with charity,
with composure and hrmness, they were
working all of the resources of civilization
to settle this question.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gibson's re-
marks the Senate, at $40 O'Clock adjourned,

DUBLIN, May 1.--The Freeman'S Jour
nal again urges the people to receive the
Pope's decree with the respect due their
supreme pastor. Archbishop Croke, Of
Cashel, influences the Freemdn's Journal.
Tho Freemdn's Journal says that the
papal decree is not addressed to the lalty or
clergy, but to the bishops, who alone can
automatically interpret its language. The
paper declares that the decree is a highly
technical document
AT a private conference held to-day, the
priests of West Glare discussed the papal
rescript against the league. The speeches
made were of a deferential character. No
definite line of action was resolved upon.
The people of Clare seem Indifferent to the
words of tho rescript, and are decided to
adhere to either programme of the league.
PARNELLITEs AND LIBERALS.
LONDON, May "A meeting of Parnellites
and Liberals has been arranged, the subj ct
of which is to organize better system of
opposition to the government bills. There
is a unanimous feeling in favor of a more ac-
tive policy; not of blind obstruction, but of
closer wauchfulness and more constant
criticism. The plan was discussed
last evening at the dinner given
by Mr.. Armistead an ex-member
of Paria ent, at which Premier Gladstone
and Parnell, for the ilrst time in their lives,
met in private. John Morley, Herbert
