nes the statement telegraphed from New York,
in which he is reported as being able to control

also repudiates the statements that he would
compel Thobe to again run against Carlisle.
Mr.. Jarrett said, however: 'I know 1t to be a
fact that Thoebe will be nominated again. and
he has agreed to This whole thing has

The Interstate Commission Hears Argument
the Carload Lots Cases.

The Interstate Commission Hears Argument
on the Carload Lots Cases.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The Interstate Com
merce commission to-day began the hearing in
what are known the carload lot cases. Mr..
Simon Stern opened the case on behalf of the
camplainants. He said that upon the enactment
of the interstate commerce law, a new system
of classifcations was adopted by some of the
railroads, including the trunk lines, and in this
classification an unjust discrimination was made
against small shippers of some varieties of
goods by placing less than carload quantities in
higher class than carloads This dscrimina-
tion was perhaps more noticeable in the grocery
staples than in any other class of goods, and
particularly as to sugar. coffee, canned goods,
molasses and prunes. He did not complain so
much of the high rates charged on the small
quantity as he did of the discrimination between
the two If the rates are too low in any case let
them be raised to a point where they will be re-
munerative, but he did claim that it is against
public policy to increase the advantages the
large shipper naturally possesses the
smaller one. This, he charged, constituted un-
Just discrimination under the interstate law.
Under the present schedule which. he said. was
an arbitrary discrimination, retail grocers are
compelled to buy at home. They cannot get
advantageous rates their jobber neigh
bors, and SO are absolutely prevented from

larger shippers were given an immense advant-
age over the smaller by means of drawbacks,
rebates and special rates, and now that the in
terstate law forbids this. the railroads imme-
dately set about evading it, and this is done to
certainty under the new schedule OF this

the new schedule, under the old, "a, 900 pounds

years carried from 10000 to $4,000
ooundg And the amount is wholly arhi-
trary. It means the larger shipper against
the small one The speaker also stated that the
advantage in handling carload shipments was
almost wholly imaginary. The great proportion
OF freight of all classes which leaves New York
is shipped as mixed freight and If there is a
difference in the cost of handling the commits
sion could take it into consideration in render

The respondents. in their answer to the COM

quantities is based upon fair and equitable con-
siderations alike just to the shipper and carrier.

consideration by the officers of the respective
respondent companies and of their joint classi-
icauon committee. and it is just and reasonable.

have undoubtedly had some effect but their

he has been able to obtain, the Chronicle asserts,

giving private and detailed instructions to the
Irish bishops to the future conduct of them
selves, the clergy and the faithful To what ex-

One of the members of the late En-
peror Frederick's personal staff, when he
was only Crown Prince, was Baron Won
Oveardon. He had beautiful daughter,
the Countess Marie, whom he wanted to
marry to an old nobleman who was i'm
mensely rich and quite as ugly. The
Countess fell in love with dashing young
surgeon in the German army. She mar
ried the surgeon and her father disinherit-
ed her. One night in 1888 the surgeon was
shot by an assassin. On his deathbed he
told his wife that he was sure his murder
er was the rich old suitor, and he made her
promise never to listen to his suit. The
widow, with her sister and brother in law,
came to America and took up their residence
in Chicago. About a year ago a young Ger
man prince stopped there on his way to San
Francisco. In his retitnue was an old no.
bleman and a young friend. They called
upon the Countess and she recognized her
old lover. He renewed his suit, but she
repulsed him. She drove them out of the
house, and the old lover vowed vengeance.
He hired detectives, who made her life
miserable. A short time ago the Countess
suddenly disappeared. Her friends be-
Iieved that she had been abducted, and
putting detectives on the case, discovered
that she had corresponded through a mat
rimonial agency with a merchant of What
comb, W. T., and recently they had been
married by Rev. Father Butler, of st.
Johns Church, who says she took this
step to rid herself of the old Baron's spies.
