CITIES. Exchang'. lines. Dec.
violation Of Interstate Commerce Law.

WAsHINGroN CRY, April 26.-The inter-
state commerce commission, in a lengthy
decision, finds in favor of Jacob Shamberg
in his complaint against the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western and New York,
Chicago & st. Louis roads. Shamberg
complained that certain firm OF cattle
dealers in New York, who procure
cattle on large scale from Chicago, ran q
large number of improved stock cars. The
commission finds that on these cars the
carriers pay the company lower mileage
loaded or empty, pay 50 cents for loading
each car with cattle, and also yardage at
81 cents per hundred on all cattle hauled.
The amount Of these rebates more than
paid the entire cost of the improved stock
cars within two years after operations
were commenced with them, leaving the
owners still operating them with all the
above advantages in rates and facilities.
The commission holds that this is an nm
lawful preference and violation of the
interstate commerce law.

Welcome to Harrison.
TACOMA, April 26.-[Special. Premier
Robson, of British Columbia, whose pres
ence in the city was announced in the
Posr-INrELLIGENcER this morning, will
leave for Victoria tomorrow morning with
the remains of his son, who died few
days ago at Los Angeles, Cal. Speaking
of the political and commercial interests
of the United States and Canada, the
premier has this to say:
1--WE want reciprocity. but not unre-
stricted reciprocity. With our next-door
neighbor, the United States. as far as raw
material is concerned, we want reciprocity.
Unrestricted reciprocity and commercial
union we oppose. Commercial union, we
believe, would lead to political union,
which we also oppose. We have the ma
terial, we believe, to build up as great a
country as yours, and we welcome a
friendly rivalry. You as country have
achieved nothing in the way of national
success that We cannot achieve. Should
President Harrison honor us with visit,
we promise him sincere and hearty well
come"

How a Nephew of General Grant Resented
an Insult.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 2S.-[Specia Robert
Simpson, nephew of General U. S. Grant,
to-day showed his ability as fighter by
completely overpowering his antagonist, a
young athlete. Simpson is Republican,
and is employed in the United States Reve-
nue. Office. To-day he met young man
named Con Howe, an athlete and a Demo-
crat. They were talking politics. Howe
was laboring under intense excitement and
he made several remarks hardly appropriate
for the occasion. Mr.. Simpson demonstrated
with Howe and the latter, losing control of
himself, applied vile name to Simpson.
This was the straw that broke the camel's
back Mr.. Simpson is man well advanced
IN years, but the insult offered by Howe was
one which no true gentleman would tolerate.
His good right few out and collided with
Howe's nose, and the athlete struck mother
earth. He got up and again the old man
met him with his fist and again Howe went
down.
By this time friends of both parties in
terfered, and Howe was hustled away to
have his injuries dressed. He was slightly
disfgured, and his friends can now account
for his battered appearance. Simpson is
still in the ring for any similar matches.

PATcHoGUE, L. L, Oct. 2S.-Three checks
for 81, ,46O, $500 and S2,45O, drawn upon the
Patchogue Bank and signed R. A. Strong,
were forwarded here on different dates dur
ing the last IA days by the German Ameri-
can Bank of Denver for collection. All of
them bear the Endorsement of w. H. Geer,
a former resident of this place, though
drawn in favor of other parties, whose in
dorsements are also upon them. One of the
checks bears forged certificate with the
signature OF f. A. Overtou, the cashier of
the bank here. No such person as R. A.
Strong has an account with the Patchogue
Bank, so the cii,.;ks have not been paid.
The man Geer, whose Endorsement appears
on the checks, came here last fall and re-
mained until house he was erecting at
Center Moriches was completed. He claimed
to have made considerable money in Col
orado as the agent of the Northwestern Life
Insurance Company. During last summer
he and his wife were prominent figures in
Center Moriches' society. In September
Geer left for Denver, it being understood
that he had gone to represent the Equitable
Life Insurance Company in Colorado. He
took with him a number of letters of intro
duction from business men here. As yet
full explanations of the forgeries have not
reached here, but it is stated that Geer is
still in Denver.

Campbell started his speech-making this
morning at Circleville and made most sue
cessful day of it through the Sciots Valley.
At Circleville he stopped for an hour and

next stop was at Chillicothe, the home of

Governor for denomination. He was given
a grand reception there, and made a five
minutes speech, descriptive of his cam

The big meeting of the day was at
Waverly, the county seat of Pike county.
Governor Campbell was thought to be very
weak in that county on account of his hav-
ing commuted the sentence of murderer to
Imprisonment for life. To judge by the
size of the turnout to-day the murder case
will not figure very largely in the cam

AN ARMY FIGHTING A FIRE.
Three lncendiary Biazes ouenched and the
Militia Called Out.

NEWMAN, GA, Oct. 2S.-This city has
again been visited by fire. Last night T.
w. Howell & Co.'S warehouse with 1000
bales of cotton, was destroyed. The wind
was wild and for three hours the town
seemed to be at the mercy of the elements.
All the stores on the west side of the square
were denuded of their contents and the
Newman Guards were put on duty. About
100 bales of cotton on the platform of the
burning building were removed after a
fierce fight Every one that could shoulder
a musket and carry water was put to work.
At o'clock this morning another alarm
was sounded and in five minutes 500 men
with buckets of water were at the warehouse
of Russell, Gibson & Co., working to save
it. Nearly 20G bales of cotton were on the
outside platform. BY hard work the build
ing was saved, but 80 bales of cotton were
burned. The work was evidently that of
an incendiary. Willy Argo, a desperate
character who has grudge against the city
and warehouse, was arrested just after the
last fire. Argo is very reticent and posi-
tive evidence will be hard to get. 1t is
impossible to get a correct estimate of the
loss by the three fires that occurred at
different places within "a hours, but the
combined loss will probably reach 5000, 900.
