ALONG THE RAIL.
Testimony Closed in the Santa
Clara Valley Lumber Case.

The Railroad Commission met yesterday
and took more testimony in the case
of the Santa Clara Valley Mill and
Lumber Company vs.. the Southern Pacific
c. d. Wright of San Jose. attorney for the
lumber people, maintained that the only
matter at issue is the rate charged on lum-
Der, which is So per thousand feet. This,
he claimed, is more than is charged by any
other line. During the season Of 1890 TO-
100000 feet of lumber were shipped from
the Santa Cruz district or Boulder Creek,
and from Glenwood and Laurel about
100000 feet. He claimed that lumber
could be brought to San Jose from the
north coast and sold at a less cost than is
required to manufacture it in the valley.
Attorney Martin for the railroad company
quoted testimony 10 show that, as the rail-
road company only had business one way
from Boulder Creek it is practically impos-
sible for 1t to haul lumber to San Jose at
less rate than that now charged. lie repu-
dated the insinuatOn that there is any DIS
elimination exercised in the matter. The
commission will render O decision IN the
matter within three weeks.
Preparations for the proposed meeting OF
California shippers to organize against what
is now designated as the railway pool are
being Systematically arranged. Over ZOO

LONDON, Oct. 5.-Some excitement and
very marked sensation has been caused
here by the startling report made by Lord
Charles BeresfOrd, who lately spent COIL
siderable time in careful inspection of the
Suez Canal. His report says that in time
of war the canal could easily be rendered
useless. and goes so far as to supplement
this by saying that it will not only be use
less but dangerous element if counted
upon as one Of England's resources. Lord
Charles shows that at one point on the
canal where the banks are rocky a small
quantity OF dynamite would blow mass Of
rock into tile channel and make il impass-
able. be points out that this might be done
at a critical moment, aud in such a way that
British troop-thps would find themselves
caught and unable to get out at either end
For this reason Lord Beresford holds that
the Cape route to India must be regarded as
the real line of communication in the event

4 British Nobleman Assumes a Charge to
Shield a Prince.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-Newspapers here de-
nounce the Coroner for keeping secret the
dispositions taken at the inquest as to the
cause of the death Of Lydia Miller, or Man
ton, the actress who committed suicide last
week. Considerable interest is being taken
in the case. At the inquest Saturday Lord
Charles Montague, brother of the Duke of
Manchester. testified to having been on very
friendly terms with the deceased. Since
the inquest, mysterious illusions have been
made in the newspapers to a certain high
parsonage, understood to be Prince Albert
Victor the eldest son of the Prince of
Wales, who also is said to have been friendly
with the girl in her If etme. The Star says
Lord Charles came forward at the inquest
and assumed to be the particular friend Of
the actress, in order to screen another.
The Coroner to-day still refuses access to
the dispositions taken, and it is openly stated
that members of the COroner's jury were
called upon TO sign blank paper, instead of
the usual record of the proceedings. The
Star says the truth as to the mystery will
never be known, and that it is obvious
another inquest has been hushed up without

Wednesday with six cases Of ''toweling"
