BALTIMORE'S GRAIN TRADE.
The Interstate Commerce Commission Tries
to Ascertain the Cause of It's Rapid Increase.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BALTIMORE, Feb. 14.-Three members of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
Messrs. Aldace f. Walker, Augustus
Schoonmaker and w. L. Bragg, began an
investigation to-day into the large ship
ments made to Baltimore recently. Mr..
Walker, who conducted the proceedings,
stated to reporter that the investigation
was due to the complaints made by men,
bers of the New York Produce Exchange,
Philadelphia grain men and certain rail-
roads, that New York and Philadelphia
were being Disseminated against in favor
of Baltimore in the matter of rates, and by
several Baltimore men who charge that the
railroads are playing into the hands of
three or four firms. The witnesses ex-
tendent of the Baltimore & Ohio
elevators at Locust Point; George Booth,
chief clerk to the auditor of revenue of the
Baltimore & Ohio; Oliver w. Hoblitzell,
superintendent Baltimore Elevator Com
pany at Canton. which handles the North
ern Central railroad grain; Robert w: Clan,
vile, local freight agent Northern Central
railroad, and William III. Joyce, general
freight agent of the Pennsylvania railroad
east of Pittsburg. 1t was shown by the
testimony and manifests that of the grain
coming to Baltimore over the Baltimore 81
Ohio road, during December and January,
nine-tenths of it was consigned to Gill q
Fisher, and that the freight originates in
Kansas and Nebraska. The most important
testimony was that given by Mr. Joyce.
He testified that the usual rate from Chi
cagO to New York was % cents, and to
Baltimore % cents. In October reduc-
ton was made from % to 20 cents,
on a Chicago basis. The 20-cent rate
was in force down to February,
z, when the usual rate was restored. When
the 20-cent rate from Chicago was in
effect the rate from East st. Louis to Balti-
more was 21.9 cents.
MI. Walker-Was there any reduction on
the 20-cent ratef
Mr.. Joyce-We carried grain on through
rate from Kansas City to Baltimore, and
from Lincoln, Neb, to Baltimore. the lat
ter rate being 81 cents, out of which the
Vandalia line got IL cents. 1t was not GUS
tomary, he said, to make through rates
from Nebraska points to the sea-
board. Mr.. Joyce explained the
necessity for the reduction. In the
discovered that large sales of grain were
being made in Nebraska for the Baltimore
market at prices higher than the market.
This suggested that cut was made in
railroad rates, presumably by the B. e. O.,
which was verified, and then the Pennsyl-
vania made an open rate to meet their COM
petitors, which resulted in very heavy
shipments. Mr.. Joyce said the through
rate applied to New York. Philadelphia
the tariff-sheet showed that the through
rate was for Baltimore only. and told Mr..
Joyce to give him definite information on
that point at the next meeting.
The commission then adjourned until
Saturday.

Parnen Litigation.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE firm of Lewis s.
Lewis, solicitors for the Parnellites, are
very indignant over discovery which was
made to-day, and which gives evidence that
the government are doing all in their power
to embarrass Mr.. Parnell and his associates
in their struggle to clear their names of
crime before the special commission. The
letters addressed to these solicitors
show, by, their condition when re-
ceived, that they have been tam
pered with in transit. The letters
bear marks of having been opened and re-
scaled, especially those from the firms
agents in Ireland. The espionage which
the government detectives have exercised
over the firms affairs since they undertook
the Parnellites' business, though excessive
ly CALLING, has hitherto been conducted
with such secrecy that open notice could
not be taken of the annoyance. Tamper-
ing with mail matter, however, is serious
matter, and the solicitors propose to have
the affair investigated. The letters will be
submitted to the commission and justice de-
manded.

THE SAMOAN AFFAIR.
Bismarck Believed to BE DESTROYS of Secur-

Bismarck Believed to he DESTROYS of Secur-
ing Delay in Holding a Conference.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-THE Washingtou
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun tele-
graphs his paper as follows regarding the
proposed conference at Berlin on Samoan
matters: '.It looks now very much as if the
Samoan conference at Berlin will not be
held by representatives of the present ad.
ministration. Count Arco-Valley, the Ger.
man minister, called upon Secretary
Bayard yesterday and informed him that
the latters answer to Bismarck's proposal
for conference had been sent to Berlin by
mail. 1t will reach Berlin about the 10th.
The German Foreign Office will probably
take several days 10 consider Mr.. Bayard'o
suggestion. and It's answer, If sent by mail,
would hardly reach this country before
the beginning or the Harrison regime.
There would seem to be no good reason
why the correspondence should not have
been conducted by telegraph, except on
the assumption that Bismarck's resort To
the mails is simply a trick to gain time in
which to punish the Samoans before the
negotiations at Berlin will begin. In we'll
informed quarters here there is a suspicion
that Germany has already sent reinforce
ments to Samoa to revenge the killing of q
number of men in the recent tight with
Mataafa, and it is not at all unlikely that
we will ultimately hear of another bloody
battle. If. however, Bismarck is playing
fair, and accepts Mr. Bayard's proposal OF
truce in good faith, a commissioner will
be sent by Mr.. Bayard to represent this
country at Berlin, provided, of course.
Prince Bismarck's reply is received in
time. Minister Pendleton, though much
improved in health. is hardly strong enough
to conduct the negotiations hitch In
the matter, aside from the delay OF cor
respondence by mail, may arise from Biz
marck's unwillingness 10 accept Mr.. Bay
yards proposal that instructions to suspend
belligerent action in Samoa be telegraphed
at once TO the German agents and repre-
sentatives of the other treaty powers. lt is
thought to he quite possible that Bismarck
will insist upon reprisals by way of assert
ing German prestige in the Pacific and sat
isfying the national pride. which has been

Responsibility for the Steal.

Shelby Republican.
No man in the State of Indiana was more
honestly elected last fall than Samuel j.
Carpenter, but no sooner was it known that
his election was assured than gang of po-
htical scoundrels began laying the plans to
steal his rights away from him. Upon the
most outrageous evidence Ray took his con-
test before the State Senate and by metho dis
which would make an honest man hang his
mead IN shame and disgrace succeeded in
TobDlng Carpenter of a position given him
ynags Sy the free will OF the people A partisan
so far as the unseating of Carpenter
was concerned, but when it came
TO seating Ray the Democrats could not
stand the odlous dose and refused to seat
him, but sent the question back for another
test before the people. The Democrats felt
the force of the truth that Raw was q very
unpopular man in Shelby county, while
many regarded his contest as high-handed
outrage, and they would not give him a
nomination This was a good yindication
of the charges of bribery made against Mr..
Carpenter. The steal has been
consummated and Mr.. Ewing will occupy
seat which the people. gave to Mr.. Car
it belongs-on the shoulders of Scott Ray.
He is the man who overturned the will of
the people, and, by the aid of partisan
Senate. trampled their rights under foot
Mr. Carpenter is one of the honored and re-
spected citizens of Shelby county, and
stands to-day mighty close to the esteem
and affections of the people. while his op-
ponent of ISSS has only their contempt.
This infamous steal has now become State
Issue, and we believe the voters of Indiana
will give the partisan Senate such rebuke
In 1880 as will send them back to that OBJ
security which BELTS them and from which
they should never have come. Mr.. Carpen-
ter made light of which he may be proud,

actions from the day he was nominated in
1855 up to the present time were honorable,
and only fraud and a partisan gang stole
from him honors well won.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The reports from
West Virginia indicate that there are
likely to be two Governors in that State
from and after the adjournment of the Leg
islature. which soon expires by limitation.
and President Harrison will be compelled
to recognize one or the other of them.
There is very little probability that any
one will be elected to the Senate, in which
case each Governor will fill the vacancy by
appointment, and two sets of credentials
will be sent in. Thus the titles Of the Gov
errors will be submitted to the Senate of
the United States for its decision.

Mr.. Balfour,s Eccentricities.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-Mr. Balfour attended
meeting of the Cabinet to-day. He drove
to Downing street in cab, which was fol-
lowed, as usual, by the detectives who
guard the Secretary. He departed from the
meeting on foot, and. though it was raining
hard, did not raise the umbrella which he
carried, but walked on in the drenching
rain, apparently unconscious of the wetting
he received. This and other eccentricities
which he has committed recently puzzle
his friends, who fear that Irish cares are
proving too great a burden for him in his
feeble health.

1t is noted among the great stores OF
the East that there seems to be greater
proportion of men behind the counters
now than in recent years. Most OF the
heavier goods In some stores are now
handled entirely by men. The women
who buy say they like this much better.
Behind THE WHEN'S counters there
have always been

No trouble about that. THE WHEN'S
endeavor is to get men before the coun-
tiers; and it is glad to say that it has been
eminently successful, 10! these many

A Shutter and a Moral.

During change hour yesterday
shutter slowly and carefully carried by
two men, was borne into the exchange
hall, followed by Commodore Cutie.
This unwonted spectacle drew all
members around the commodore and
every one looked for the man that is
naturally supposed to go with shut
ter, but every one appeared perfectly
sober. The shutter was placed gently
against one of the Corinthian columns
that adorn the room, and the crowd
eagerly inspected the relic, for it was
relic of the Seattle fire. Inits prime,
adorned with gaudy paint, it had pro-
tected window in Frye's opera
house, Seattle. When that city was
recently mass of flames the same
shutter battled nobly to protect its
charge, as the record scared onits sur
face shows. Built of wood and en-
cased in tin, it held on when an iron
shutter would have curled up with the
heat and deserted its post. The I'M
derwriters claim that had this shutter
been carefully built according to the
instruction issued by the inspection
bureau, it would have "been better
than new" after the fire. This his
toric window covering now leans
against the pillar, disreputable look
ing affair, like the awful example of a
temperance lecturer, and the lesson it
teaches is one that should be kept
well in mind: 1t is, don't let your
building stand next TO one on fire,
but if you do, see that the windows
and doors are well protected by shut
ters of wood sheathed in tin. They
are the safest S. Il. Comm. NetCS.
