BOARD OF TRADE.
An Arrangement in Relation to
Discount Discussed.

An Arrangement in Relation tS
Discount Discussed.
A special meeting OF the Board o.
Trade was held yesterday afternoon
President Lewis in the chair. About
twenty merchants were present to con-
slider the best means of arriving at the
establishment of a uniform rate of dis
count to purchasers. Secretary Ward
read the call for the meeting and Presi'
dent Lewis asked for the opinion OF
those present on the matter.
Mr.. Hellman said he thought it would
be a good idea to determine what dis
count purchasers should get who paid in
80, go or 80 days, and what kind of pay
ments should be classed as cost and be
entitled to the greatest discount.
President Lewis said that it might be
well to determine what cash payments
meant. Some dealers thought that "cash"
meant anytime inside of thirty days, and
others had different idea of the matter.
Mr.. Jacoby thought that it would be
impossible to establish a uniform rate,
for the reason that in some lines a dis
count of per cent. was given, and in
others it was only per cent.
Mr.. Hanley moved that "cash" be
construed to mean any time inside of ten
days from date of bill.
Mr.. Montague said that this would not
suit his business for the reason that his
customers paid but once a month and at
the end of the month they obtained their
discount if they paid.
General Mathews suggested that the
words "spot cash" and "cash" be used
to designate the different kinds Of pay
ments.
Mr.. Howry moved to amend Mr.. Han
ley's motion so that it should only apply
to the country trade. Carried.
1t was then suggested that this action
of the Board would not be binding, and
Mr.. Hellman said that nothing could be
done unless every merchant would sign
an agreement.
Mr.. Dutton moved that a committee,
consisting of one from each branch of
trade, be appointed to draw an agreement
suitable to each line of business, regula-
ting the limit of credit, the amount of
credit to be regulated by the capital of
the purchasers. Carried.
Mr.. Dutton suggested that creditors
were allowed too much time in which to
file their claims, and suggested that it be
cut down to twenty-four hours.
Secretary Ward said that but twelve
hours was allowed in San Francisco.
Mr.. Hellman moved that the Secretary
be instructed to post notice of intention
to amend the bylaws 30 as to limit the
time to forty-eight hours. Carried.
The Board then adjourned.

CHARGES AGAINST A CONSUL.
The Representative of This Country In
MOROCCO I'm Trouble.

Tho Representative of This Country In
Morocco in Trouble.
Charges of a serious character have
been made to the State depart
ment, during the last year, concern
ing the official and personal conduct of
Reed Lewis, of Pennsylvania, United
States Consul-General in Morocco. The
charges affect the manner in which he has
conducted the accounts of the Office and
also his bearing as representative Of the
United States in outside dealings. The
most recent allegation against Consul Gem
eral Lewis il made by a newspaper pub
lished at Tangier, which goes 80 far as
to make a direct charge Of an attempt at
extortion of money from another represen-
tative of the United States, Vice Consul
Cohen, who is stationed at Mazagan, Mo.
rocco. According to the newspaper, Lewis
called on Cohen, who is wealthy, and de-
manded 10000 francs as the price of his
retention In office. Cohen refused to COM
ply with this demand, aud Lewis said that
tho consular agency had brought Cohen
large profits, n he could afford to spare
y 1000 francs. Cohen, again refusing, was
deprived Of his office by Lewis, who offered.
1t, without success, to several persons. It
was finally accepted by Daniel Madden.
The paper also charges that Cohen was
placed under arrest, his papers seized aud
the American flag over the consulate
hauled down.. State Department. officials
say that the case is in Assistant Secretary
Wharton's hands, and they refuse to dis
cuss 1t until he returns. Lewis is the son
OF q wealthy Philadelphia.

Fire started in the center of the business
portion of Grand Haven, Mich, and be-
fore it could be extinguished had swept
through half the city.
A fierce wind was blowing from the lake
and the flames got beyond the control of
the firemen shortly after the fire started.
Among the buildings burned are the fol-
lowing: The Cutler house and the resi-
dence of Dwight Cutler and the residences
of Mrs. Slayton, 7. A. Paris, g. d. San
ford, Capt. McCullom and A. 8. Kedzie.
The First Reformed, Unitarian and Metho-
dist churches were burned, together with
about thirty residences. No lives were
lost. The sweep of the fire included both
sides of Main street from Slayton's gro
Gerry, where the fire originated, tothe Axe
ley institute. Everything in the path of
the flames was wiped Out. The total loss
is about $500, 900, Al buildings in all be-
ing destroyed.
Grand Have is the county seat of Ot-

has q population of some 5000 people.
Two railroads enter the place-the Eetroit,
Grand Haven & Milwaukee and the Chi

OUR RAILWAY SYSTEM.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF
RAILROADS.

Mr.. Taylor Scores the Companies for Rate
Wars and Improbable ~COiMpctitions-
Recommendation as to Bonded Rail.
w~ays-Sunlry Matters Touched Upon.
Secretary Noble has received the annual
report Of Commissioner Of Railroads Tay.
lor for the fiscal year ending June 30 last.
AS Taylor was not appointed to the po-
sition until July IL the work Of the bureau
does not come under him, and he confines
himself to recommendations.
Several railroads which received land
grants from the State refused to report to
the railroad commissioner, who differs
from them and claims that as the States
received land from She United States and
then gave grants to the railroads 1t is the
same as II they were granted directly. He
has, therefore, reported these railroads to
the Secretary Of the Interior for judicial
action.
The commissioner next devotes himself
to the subject Of the rate wars between
railroads. He says that in most cases they
are devoid Of palliation or excuse, and
that they destroy or imperil the value of
railroad securities and impose unjust bur.
dens upon the Of the country.
The commissioner dlsagrees with the claim
Of the railroad managers that the recent
losses sustained were due to restrictive laws
enacted hy Congress aud various States.
He believes that in many sections of the
West, notably in Iowa and Kansas, roads
have more mileage than necessary and,
therefore, run at q loss.
The commissioner also expresses his le-
lief that the railroad manager do wrong
IN fighting to secure trade from competing
points In q State for deyelouinp local
traffic.
The commissioner Endorses the recon.
mendations of his predecessor in favor OF
enacting a law providing for the funding
of debts of the bonded roads. He believes
also in extending the time and reducing
the rate of interest. He opposes having
regular fixed payments and thinks that
the law must not be too strict, for in
that event he sees that the roads could
not be able to meet them and the govern
lnent might I've compelled to pay off prior
liens and take possession of the roads.
Besides the extension of time and the
reduction of interest the commissioner de-
cides that the roads he required to pay a
certain per cent of their gross earnings to
the Ii iuidation of their Indebtedness to the
government. Thus in the years of dspres-
sion roads could not pay much on the
Indebtedness, while in prosperous years
they could do better.
In conclusion he gives a complete state
ment of the Indebtedness Of the Pacific
railroad, ETC., n shows that it will be
impossible to pay all off at maturity.
