CUT-RATES ON THE OCEAN.
A WAR OVER wEsTBoUND FREIGHTs.
EFFORTS OF THE WHITE STAR LINE TO GAIN
TRAFFIc-THE PROSPECT FOR STOCK

TRAFFIC-THE PROSPECT FOR STOCK.
HOLDERS.
There are practical indications among the trans
atlantic steamship lines that freight war has begun
which VIII no doubt assume great proportions, and
result seriously to the stockholders who have been
hoping for dividends, unless nppcd in the bud. Tho
beginning OF ths freight is charged to the White
Star Steamship Line, which has recently put on two
new steamships built exclusively for freight purposes
in competition with the tramps. The war
will be entirely upon westbound freight II Is said,
since the rates from this side regulated by supply
and demand, while the freight coming here is seldom
changing quantity.
Soon after the White Star people put on the freight
steamships Cutie and RunIc, the Inman Line people
decided to take up the gauntlet thrown down, and
their first movement TO rearrange their sailing
schedules and sail from Liverpool and New-York on
Wednesdays, the sailing days those of the
White Star Line. The Innan steamships have sailed
from here Saturdays heretofore, and their first
Wednesday steamship from here will be the City OF
Chicago on February 81. AS soon this was done
to about so per cent Of the schedule The basis Is
dry goods, upon which the combination rate is Is to
25 shilngs ton, but which the White Star freight
vessels are engaging at shilings pence.
1t Is expected that the Inman Line viii meet this
cut. The Guon and other English lines have taken
no part In the cut yet, but the impression is that
they viii have TO engage In 1t soon. The White Star
people say that they will ship all goods offered at the
vantage over other lines by reason Of their having
two economical freight steamships.

RUSHING THROUGH THE. ASSEMBLY THE SEN
ATE BILL REMOVING SUPERINTENDENT

FULLER FROM OFFICE.

Trenton, ". j., Feb 10 (SpeciaD The Democrats Of
the House consummated the assault upon State SUI
perintendent Fuller this afternoon by passing the
Senate bill to remove the head of the school system
from office. 1t was done by bold exercise Of the
power OF the majority, and at the expense OF all
slderatIons of courtesy and justice TO the Republican
members. The bill passed by the Senate
Monday evening. In regular course 1t would have
come up in the House some time next week, and
would have occupied two or three days in passing
through the ordinary stages. The Governor could
make It law tomorrow II he chose. There wers
several Democrats who evidently did not want to
vote on the measure, for 1t required the Speakers
warrant to bring them within the bar of the House.
When rolcal had revealed the fact that all Of tbs
move Colonel Fuller brought up by dispensing
with the reference TO committee, an almost I'M
precedented course.
Mr.. voorhees,, Republican, protested against this
action and when the motion to dispense with refer
ence had been carried by party vote, Mr. voorhees,
presented new phase of the matter. There had
been charges made against Colonel Fuller, he said,
charges that he had obtained his Office, while mem
Der of the House, by improper deal. With Mr.
Riker he urged that the BILL which summarily dis
missed Colonel Fuller from Office should be delayed
until fair opportunity had been given TO vindicate
him or convict him. Mr. Heppenheimer the Demo-
cratic leader, refused to grant the request ana
