LONDON, June 29.-The Times to-day re-
ferring to the fact that sixty delegates from
the tin plate working districts of Wales are
going to the United States In order to in
quire into the prospects of profitable en-
ployment there, and to the statement N ade
that American agents In London are buy
ing the latest improvements Ia tin plate
machines. as we'll as offering
double wages TO tin plate workers.
says that should the delegates report
favorably upon the prospects for tin plate
workers In the United States, it Is not un-
likely that there will be so large an exodus
to America as TO lead to great portion of
the trade hitherto monopolized by Wales
being transferred to America. Hitherto
the idea has been that 1t was impossible to
manufacture tin plate in America, owing
TO the atmospheric conditions but tin-plate
makers who accompanied the iron and steel

there was nothing except want of skilled
labor 60 prevent the successful manufao ture
Of tin plate In America.
The stoppage OF the tin plate works, it Is
estimated, win keep 100000 boxes of the

to dlssipate the last traces Of distrust and
doubt Of the maintenance OF peace.
Twenty-Five radical deputies attended a
demonstration against the dreibund in the

under consideration at the vatican.
The future action of the pope

Carriers may accept same rates for longer
and shorter distances. provided they do not
subject any particular person or locality or
any particular description Of traffic to un-
reasonable disadvantage.
WHEN A GREATER CHARGE rs LAWFUL,
The circumstances and conditions which
make a greater charge for a shorter dis
tance lawful relate to the nature and char
aoter OF the transportation service over
the same line to longer and shorter distance
points. Water competition to justify such
greater charge must be competion in trans
portation to longer distance point and
as to freight which, If not carried over
the line on which 1t is located. would reach
such destination by water transportation.
Goods shipped from Cincinnati to points in
Georgia are interstate traffic, and all roads
forming part of the line over which such
goods are carried to their destination are en-
gagged in interstate commerce, and subject
to the act to regulate commerce.
NOT A LOCAL CARRIER.
Neither the roads together, nor any one of
them, can evace the fourth section Of that
statute by declaring that as to traffic des-
tined to certain stations on tine terminal
road, 1t is local carrier. The
carriers will be ordered TO cease and
desist on and after July 90, 1891, from
making any greater charge in the aggregate
on buggies, carriages and other frst-class
freight in less than carloads from Cincin-
natl TO Social Circle than to Augusta, and
from making any charge on such freight
from Cincinnati to Atlanta In excess of 81
per 100 pounds.
