Shreveport Times: The town
of Plain Dealing is we'll situated
and takes its name from the home
place of q. 0. Gilmer, one of the
pioueers of this section and 10 his
day one of the largest land owners
in North Louisiana. 1t has splen-
did agricultural country to back it.
One of its possibilities, the iron de-
posits of the best quality, which
abound in limitless quantities
through the adjacent hills, may at
no distant day lead to the develop
menr of the town and country to
wonderful proportions. Who knows
what the future has in store for this
place 1t may be the Sheffield or
the Birmingham of North Louisiana.
This may provoke smile of incre
dulity, but what of it, Plain Deal
ing is growing and is becoming an
important commercial point; it has
already received 1890 bales of cot
ton, and double that number would
have been handled had the crop not
been cut two thirds short of an
average yield"

DUBLIN, May ll.-Archbishop Walsh,
in letter to tho Frcemans Journal, in
reference to the Papal rescript condemn
ing the plan OF campaign and boycotting,
says: "The rescript decides n question
of morals not of politics. II doubts
and controversies arise concerning its
meaning the Irish bishops or the Vati-
can will explain it. The Irish people
may be assured that neither the nation
al movement nor the National League
shall be in the least injuriOusly affect
ed" The Archbishop strongly denies
the truth of the statements about his
own action in respect to the rescript.
He says the reports OF his conferences at
Rome with the Pope were all invention.
The Catholic Weekly Herald says the Gov
ernmcnt will found and endow an Irish
Catholic university.

NEw YoRK, May 1.-THE Eastern
Trunk Line railroads are cutting freight
rates.
They started in yesterday by reducing
live stock rates from Chicago to New
York from IS to % cents per 100 pounds.
The meeting that ended in the adOp-
ton of this cut-rate policy was the live
liest that Pool Commissioner Fink's
Office has known in many months. All
the railroads in the Trunk Line pool
were represented except the Grand
Trunk. The absence Of the Grand
Trunk was because that road is guilty OF
the particular ofIenses that have precip.
itated this new war.
Managers OF the Pennsylvania, the
New York Central, the Lake Shore, the
Canada Southern, the Michigan Central,
the Erie, the Lackawanna, the West
ShOre-all but the Grand Trunk-were
on hand, and everyone was full Of fight.
