FOR WAR.
The Fight Between the Ocean Steamship
Companies.

NEW YORK, Feb. lin regard to the
war between the ocean steamship conpan-
les an evening paper says:
The first blow has been struck by the
White Star company. 1t is the same with
the steamship lines as it is with the rail-
roads. They had an agreement to main
tain prices, but one of the companies has
kicked in the traces and broken the taclt
agreement.
A White Star official said this morning:
cit is true that we have made cut In
freight rates. This step is taken by us In
self defense We learned that other lines
were making cuts on the sly. Therefore we
have declared open war. You see. we could
not we'll do otherwise under the clrcum-
stances. Our cut is about so per cent In
west bound rates on dry goods. In tact,
our rates are based on measurement OF 40
cubic feet, and the reduction is from los to
Is 3d. No change has been made IN the
east bound rates"
The voice of the agent in charge at the
Cunard Line office was loud for war He
intimated in unmistakable terms that the
managers of his company were prepared
for war. 1--WE are fully able to hold our
own in struggle for public patronage, !"
he said, land no other line can Guido US
in cutting rates:
The official who spoke for Mr.. Under
mated that his company preferred
peace any day, but could fight pretty
lively in case of war. The represent
tatives of the Anchor. Inman and
National companies are also prepared
for fight. If oil is not speedily thrown
upon the troubled waters, the public may
expect to witness the most bitter warfare
that has ever broken out between the
transatlantic lines. There is great anxiety
on the part of the agents on this side OF
the ocean as to the action likely to be
taken by the heads of the companies on
the other side There are indications that
the trouble may extend to passenger rates
also. In such event both cabin and steer
age rates will be cut
The warfare which has been inaugu-
rated by the White Star Line is all the
more noteworthy because it is the first
serious cut in west-bound freight rates
that has been made in half a dozen years.
The produce exchange men are hoping
that the cut will extend to export rates.

menrs The court did not finally dismiss
the jury, but sent them home with the in
junction ''If you are needed again each OF

endeavor to indict Dudley is not over yet,

A TERRIBLE MISFORTUNE.

1t is calamity of the direst kind to feel
that ones physical energies are failing in
the prime of life-to feel more nerveless,
more dispirited, weaker every day. Yet
this is the unhappy lot of hundreds who
surround us. A source Of renewed strength
which science approves, in behalf of which
multitudes of the debilitated have and are
every day testifying. and which, in count
less instances, has built up constitutions
Slapped by weakness and infirmity and long
unidentified by other means, surely COM
mends itself to all who need a tonic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is such a
medicine-pure, botanic, soothing to the
nerves, promotive of digestion and ferti-
lizer of the blood. Dyspepsia and ner-
vOusness-the first a cause, the second a
consequence of lack of stamina--depart
when a course of Bitters is tried. All
forms of malarial disease, rheumatism,
kidney and bladder trouble. constipation
and billiousness are annihiliated by this
standard family medicine.

A NEW VIRGINIA CANDIDATE.
CHARLESTON. w. Va, Feb. 15.-The
democratic factions in the legislature are
no nearer settlement of their differences
than on the first day of the present
candidacy of ex-senator Henry 6. Davis.
Davis friends have been here for several
days and are working industriously but
quietly in his interest. What makes his
candidacy more exasperating to the demo-
Gratis is the fact that it is no secret that
Davis expects the election not by straight
democrats but by a combine between
democrats and republicans.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. 15.-Mr. a. S
Nicholson is just back from the edge Of
the plains. He reports the condition Of
cattle in the west better than since 1882
The grass beyound Abilene, he says, wa:
not rotted by the rains as it has in thi:
section of the state, and cattle have beer
improving all winter. One thing that
has contributed greatly to the depression
of the cattle trade in Texas is the un.
certainty of the fate of the Oklahoma
bill now pending in congress. There are
many cattlemeu in the territory. who, ii
their leases can be continued, will want
any number of cattle, but should the bill
become law, and the territory be opened
up, their ranges will be taken up by settlers
and they will want no cattle. This ha:
been the case every year, and the pendency
of the Oklahoma bill will have an infu-
ence on the Texas cattle market until con-
gress settles the question.

material for exhibition at the coming
State Fair, after the Business Mems Asso-
citation had dropped the matter. The
farmers and frUil-groTers along the river
to the south of this city should take hold
and help the matter along. They have
fruit, vegetables and other products of the
soil that would grace any exhibit, and it is
hoped they will lend their efforts as re-
quested in the following communication !:

The California Exhibit Returns From its
Long Eastern Tour.
California on Wheels" rolled through
the city yesterday on its return from its
nine months tour of the country east of
the Rocky mountains. The last place it
exhibited was at Milwaukee during the Ma
tional Encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic. The cars will be dismantled
by the State Board of Trade, which is now
preparing new exhibit to be sent East in
November
The new exhibition cars, which have
been described in the RECORD UNION, are
approaching completion at the railroad
shops in this city, and will be far better
adapted to the purpose than the ones now
in use. This method of showing to the
/ eople of the East what California soil is
capable of producing has been great sue
cess, and has attracted hither many immi-
grants, some 700, Geo people having visited
the train. The new exhibit will be better
than the first, aud will also be shown to
better advantage. It behooves Sacramento
to catch on" this time, and show what
she can do in the way of contributing to
the exhibit
