attorney General Kellogg, OF kansna, Takes
Serious View Of Its Effects.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 30.-Attorney-
General l.. b. Kellogg took a serious
view OF the decision Of the United States
Supreme Court on the original package
question. He says: 81 am surprised
and disappointed ut the decision. 1t
simply repudiates, rs interpret 1t, the
decision OF the United States Supreme
Court of forty years ago and which has
been the law during that period. The
court then held that New Hampshire
party could not ship into Vermont, con-
,frary TO the Prohibitory law in force in
1theIlatter State, barrel Of gin bearing
sthe Government revenue stamp and sell
the same in the original barrel in viola
rfion of the laws OF Vermont
at is as serious and possibly as dan
rEer6us n decision as the famous bred
Scott decision OF pro-slavery days. 1
feel like criticising the court. 1t is not
what the people OF the State had right
10 expect from the Supreme Court OF the
United States. hope that there may
DE something hedg ng in the decision
and that 1t Is not as sweeping in itsenect
ms it now looks and / therefore am
anxious to see the full text The dis
senting opinion Is clearer than the de-
cision itself and think that the Justice
who gave that opinion held the correct
view Of the law and the question.
1.-The decision,as read 1t, is,a party in
this State may bring into the State from
other States liquor in original packages
and can sell the same to second party
without liability to arrest under our
Prohibitory law"
''Then, General, you think that 1t al
fects Kansas and that IL will make it
possible to sell liquor in original pack
ages in this State?''
II am sorry to say it. but l believe it
does that very thing. j fear that 1t is
serious, IL not fatal blow to prohibi-
tion. Our law has never attempted to
prohibit the importation of liquors into
this State, for the trainers OF the law
we'll knew that it could not be done UNI
der the statutes of the United States
regulating the traffic of commerce be-
tween the States. We have only sought
20 prevent the sale of such liquor. This
decision says in substance that we can
mot prevent the sale of such liquors as
long as they remain in the unbroken,
original packages"

A DELEGATE SPEAKS.

New YORK, April 26.-Senor John
Alfonso, delegate from Chilli to the re-
cent Pan-American Conference, regrets
that through reporters carelessness
the remark Of q Gillian citizen sojourn-

himself to express his views, which he
does as follows:

date results, the work done will
surely bear good fruit in the end. Chill

FIGURES FURNISHED.
statistIcs Concerning Imports, Exports and
Immigration.

statistics Concerning Imports, Exports and
Immigration.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The monthly
statement Of the bureau OF statistics for
the month of March has been issued by
s. j. Brock, the chief of the bureau. 1t
also gives the balances Of exports and
imports for the periods Of three, nine
and twelve months ending with March
81, and furnishes some interesting facts
and figures. Our foreign trade for the
month of March shows q balance in our
favor OF 81, 49,, 9S8, this being the excess
Of our exports Of merchandise over our
imports. The total export trade for
March was ST., 607, 4S1, whereas the last
years March exports were $50, 100, 1914,
and the excess Of exports over imports
was S2,71s,OO0. The result Of the favor
able business of March shows contin-
ued increase, and the margin in favor OF
the present fiscal year is further en-
larged.
The leading articles of export con-
sisted Of 4l9,242 bales Of cotton, worth
SCI, 1916, S57; 1S,26s,292 bushels of corn,
worth S5,341,415; 4,s42,7Sa bushels OF
wheat, worth 81, 03s. $50; l, Isl, 1857 barrels
Of -four, worth IS, $3.50, 254; other bread"
stuffs about $1,000, 900; cattle, hog and
dairy products to the amount Of S1O, $685.
56S. The balance of the exports Is made
up of various other products manufact-
ured and manufactured. 1t will be
seen that about two-thirds Of our ex-
ports for the month of March consist OF
cotton. corn. wheat and wheat flour, and
other breadstuffs and meat products.
Our exports for three months ending
with March 81 amounted to Ss1s, 200. 455
and exceeded our imports to the amount
Of S24,661,7is. The excess for the cor
responding period of last year was S5,-
G23, 324, and the exports for nine months
ending with March 81 were 1888, us, $50,
and the imports were SSH, sl7,5s4, Civ
ing us an excess Of exports of Sill, 9O1,-
1865, while the exports for the CORE
spending nine months Of last year were
S5S2, $50, 1868 and the imports were S549.-
322, 900, showing an excess Of exports OF
only SS8.54s,S03.
This shows most favorable result in
a gain of the excess of exports over i'm
ports during the last nine months over
the excess of the corresponding period
of last year of S7s,S5S,O 6S. These are
the results of the three-quarters of the
present fiscal year and indicate q very
healthy and most favorable condition OF
trade when the balance is in our favor
Of nearly $112, 100000.
During the month OF March the immi.
grafton to this country has been S5, $50,
as compared with 29,sO1 for the month
of March, 1889. During the nine months
the immigration has been 954, 4oS, as
compared with a55,7O7 for the CORE
spending period of last year.

1t May Yet Cause Trouble In Germauy-NO
Fear OF May Day.
LONDON, April 26.-The Herald pub
fishes the report of an interview had by
one of its representatives with Prince
Bismarck. The ex-Chancellor said he
would not, If it were in his power, in
terfere with the workingmen in any
way on May day, nor would he dis
play any anxiety, which only increases
the aggressiveness of the agitators.
Socialism, he said, would yet cause
trouble in Germany, and the man who
would yield to that element to prevent
a manifestation was q coward. 1t was
sometimes an act of benevolence to shed
the blood Of the riotous in defense Of
the law-abiding. May day was not a
dangerous enemy, and the naming OF 1t
for an assault ought not to be dreaded.
It would only be q sham fight like the
battles o: the Salvation army.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.


Decision by the Interstate Commerce
Commission Defining Some OF the Du-
tics and Llmlta tlOns Imposed on Common
Carriers by tho Interstate Commerce
Act In tho Matter NJ Forwarding Trafiic.
WASHINGTON, April 90. Tho Inter
State Commerce Commission decided
yesterday the case Of Bennett ID. Mat
tingly, o distiller OF Louisville, KY,
against the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany in favor Of the defendant. The
decision was prepared by Commissioner
Schoonmaker. The Pennsylvania COM
pany operates the Jacksonville, Madi.
son & indianapolis railroad, and .
branch of this road, lying wholly with
In the State OF Indiana, forms the only
connection at New Albany, Ind, be-
tween the Louisville, Evansville & St
Louis Consolidated railroad and the
Louisville, New Albany & Chicago
railway. At New Albany the Pennsyl-
vania company received compliments
grain from the former company, but re.
fused to deliver it to the latter for trans
portation to Louisville, preferring to
take the freight to that point over the
Jacksonville, Madison s. Indianapolis,
its own road.
The points decided in this case,
briefly stated, are as follows: The pro-
visions Of the act to regulate commerce
construed in the light Of the principles
that apply to interstate commerce as
enunciated by the courts OF the United
States, must be understood as intended
to regulate all the commerce subject to
the exclusive jurisdiction OF Congress,
including the agents and instrumental
tiles employed and the commodities car
ried, with only the limitations found in
the act itself. The provision in the
6rst section that the provisions OF the
act shall not apply to the transporta-
ton OF passengers or property, or to the
receiving, delivering, storage or hand
ling OF property wholly within one
State, and not shipped to or from q for
sign country from or to any State or
Territory as aforesaid, that is
by continuous carriage or ship
nent only excludes from regulation
the purely internal commerce
Of State, that which is confined within
its limits, which originates and ends in
the same State. When State carrier
engages in interstate commerce it be-
comes National instrumentality for
the purpose OF such commerce, and Is
subject to regulations prescribed BY the
National authority. 1t can not limit
it's obligations in that business, but
must serve the business offered impair
tally and without preference or dis.
elimination. The National regulations
prescribed are not in all respects co-ex-
tensive with the power Of Congress,
and do not provide for ordering through
routes and through rates. While it is
the duty of a State carrier which en-
cages in interstate commerce to for
ward traffic offered from a connecting
line, there is no authority under the
present act to compel the carrier to for
ward the traffic over q route not oper-
ated or selected by itself.

TIE CoNcHo COUNTRY.

The American Geologist for June con-
tains full report of the geological sur
vey of the Concho country that embraces
the new counties of Arion, Coke and
Tom Green. The report not only includes
the record of the special work of Pro-
lessor W. f. Cummlps and DR.. Otto
Leroh, but much information of other
character is abundantly interpreted.
To biologists this section affords good
opportunity for study. Within eireum-
ference of a few miles there are three
formations distinctly traceable-the per-
milan, the earliest, then the cretaic, and
last the mesozoio formation. There have
been also three different stages of civil
ization. Twenty years ago the Indians,
Lepans, Kickapoos, Comanches and
Kiowas hunted over the expanded plains.
They were succeeded by the lordly stock
man, who fed Innumerable herds on
the native nutritious grasses that are so
abundant. Now the cow barons have
had to give place to the farmer who

Water facilities are represented as
ample, the North Concho traversing
the country diagonally, the main Coucho
from west to east, the South Conoho
! from south to north, each of these fed
by perennial streams that have their
| sources in the Staked Plains and flow
| with an aYeraee fall of ten feet TO the
mile. A careful record of rainfall kept
at Fort Coneho from April, 1868, to 1889 F.,

flats have an unlying strata of clay, and
thus every drop of water is utilized in

San Angelo, the county seat of Tom

having city improvements, railroad
connection and as being a promi-
ueut wool market, its trade extend

an article like this finds its way into the
magazines of other sections shows that
the kind of information contained in it is
what is being sought after, and such in-
formation is seldom given in more
satisfactory and interesting manner than
in the article under consideration.

THE coming of q body of Eastern capitalists
and manufacturers to Texas, for the express
purpose Of visiting Waco and investigating the
opportunities and Inducements offered here for
the investment of capital ana the exhibition or
shrewd business ability, makes new era IN the
progress of the city. The visitors will be here
Tuesday. They come as the guests OF waco IN
the fullest sense of the term, as Waco cares Tor
their comfort and wants from the hour they
boarded the train ct Boston until they return to
that city. 1t has cost money, thousands OF dol
lars, to do this, but Waco has money TO spend
TO assure the development and upbulldlng OF
the city. When the Eastern men get here they
will be shown appropriate courtesies and treated
in manner which, it is hoped, will send them
home as missionaries to tell OF the merits OF
Waco and Texas Waco Day.

capital comes or remains away because

Gus parts in Southwestern and western Ie3as,
for ihe purpose OF investigating the nela

that is seeking an investment in the Southwest.
This is field that has not been yet at all ace
Quately opened but it will be neglected no

The above Associated Press telegram

Surely these gentlemen, who are smart
enough, it seems. to have amassed such
great wealth, have not heard that Hogg
has carried twenty nine out of thirty
four counties that have SO far instructed
their delegates to the state convention.
Surely they have not heard that Hegg
will ruin Texas if he should happen to be
elected governor OF the state. Surely
these coming capitalists would not come
to Texas if they thought Mr.. Hogg would
tear up the railroad tracks, oonfscate
the lands and "bust the Texas biier'

Capital is no fool, aud capital knows q
good thing when capital sees it, and
capital is coming to Texas, no matter
