Commissioner Veazey Rem
derS the 0pinion--General
Rail News.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The inter
state commerce commission today. in an
opinion by Commissioner Veazey, an
nounced its decision in the case of the
Hezell Milling company, Of East st.
Louis, against the ST. Louis, Alton u
Terre Haute Railroad company and the
Illinois Central Railroad company. The
facts and points decided are briefly as
follows:
Rates for the transportation of -four
originating at st. Louis or East st.
Louis and shipped over these lines are
the same, and such flour is forwarded
by the firSt-named carrier from its re-
ceiving station in East st. Louis. st.
Louis shippers deliver flour to rail or
wagon transfer companies at their sta
tons in ST. Louis, and defendants bear
the cost of transfer 10 the East st. Louis
railroad Station.the average being about
six cents per barrel. Or 81. Louis ship
perS sometimes deliver 10 the wagon
transfer company at their mill dOors,an
then bear half of the carriage expense,
the defendants the other half
Petitioner is manufacturer and ship
per of -four over these lines in COMPETE
ton with st. Louis millers, and teams
-four from its mill and about half mile
to the receiving station in East st. Louis
at cost of six cents a barrel, or loads it
Oh cars furnished by the defendants OH
Sldetrack contiguous TO its mill at a
cost Of about three cents a barrel. be-
ing required 10 load such cars according
to distance Of destinations, also being
required to cleaL and repair the cars
before using.
The commission holds that on flour
destined TO points outside the state
which the initial carrier requests petit
toner 10 haul to its station, or which
petitioner is compelled to haul there
by reason of proper cars not
being furnished Oh such side
track, petitioner is entitled to
reduction OF six cents q barrel on rates
in force as long as defendants bear half
the coat of carriage fer other shippers.
The requiring petitioner to clean and
repair cars furnished on the side track
is unreasonable, but the requirement
that he shall load such cars according
to station is not unreasonable, and rates
on flour loaded by petitioner in properly
cleaned and repaired cars so furnished
are upon the facts properly the same as
rates In force Oh flour originating in st.
Louis. Questions arising under a prac-
tice of partial or absolute free carriage,
or growing out OF the existence of side
tracks to shippers doors, must depend
largely for solution on the particular
circumstances Of each case.

Railroads Win a Big Suit in Mich
iGan,

LANSING, Mich, Dec. 23.-The Mich
igan supreme court rendered a decision
involving a greater money value di-
rectiy than any before in its history. In
1887 the state brought suit against the
Flint & Pere Marquette Railway
company to obtain title to 10000
acres of land which it claimed came to
the state under the United States
swamp land grant of 1850, instead of the
railroad land grant of 1857. under which
the road had been in undisputed pos
session of the land for twenty-eight
years. The state secured a verdict in
the court below. but, coming to this
court, the decision is unanimously set
aside. The court says that the long lapse
OF time that the state has slept upon
its rights etfectually stops it from OBJ
tanning its title and that it has no claim
in equity. justice OF good conscience.
The decision affirms title to the lands
acquired in the same way by the jack
son. Lansing IL Saginaw and Grand

uals, covering in all 1,5cG,00 acres.
