DEs MONIES, May l5.-Judge Shiras of
the federal court, rendered an important
decision under the interstate commerce law
to-day. The plaintiffs in the case were
grain shippers of Carroll. Iowa. and the
defendant the Chicago d Northwestern
railroad company. Plaintiffs claimed they
were charged nineteen cents per hundred
pounds on grain shipments to Chicago.

concerning whose whereabouts consid-
cradle anxiety was felt since she
was reported OH Thursday in a
disabled condition sixty miles
off the Lizard. arrived here
safely at 7:40 O'Clock this morning. The
Suevia left New York Feb. 20 for Ham
burg. Upon her arrival here it was
found that the Suevia's low-pressure
cylinder was smashed to atoms and that
the piston rod was bent. She narrowly
escaped the fate of the other vessels
which went ashore in Start bay during
the recent blizzard.
So soon as possible after the accident
the Suevia was headed southwark with
her lower tOpsail set. She is brig
rugged, and owing to the force of the
gale she got good steerage way under
her, everything considered. Under this
sail the Suevia drifted to the westward

the strain grandly. Under this sail.
and heading westward, the Suevia
continued until yesterday afternoon,
when heI engineers managed to discon-
meet the smashed cylinder and arranged
so as to be able to place her under
steam with one cylinder. The steam
ship was then about twenty-five miieS
