NOTES AND COMMENTS.

This morning we had an opportunity
OF examining an interesting relic In
the shape OF an ancient coin, slightly
smaller than flvo-cont piece Of our
currency. IL was found In Hunter,
this county, four feet under the sur
face Of the ground, by a gentleman
named Jones, while excavating for q
cellar. On one side ia representation
Of tho head OF male person, with an
unusually large nose, combined with
an unlntelleclual aspect. There are
some almost iniiatlnct hieroglyphics
near the edge. On the other side IL n
representation Of u chariot drawn by
several horses galloping. The occupant
Of the vehicle Is whipping up the ami.
mails with great vigor. The coin Is
evidently ancient. Il Is In possession
OF Mr. Robert Smith, proprietor OF tho
Pyramid Panorama.
The fellow who bursted bomb and
himself In the office OF Russell Sage Is
still unidentified. His head continues
to be mn object OF interest, hut as 10
who was It's original owner remains an
undecided question. II appears to us
that complete model ought TO be made
OF the capit OF the Anarchist and tho
genuine article laid away. Tho public

The Texas Commission.

CHICAGO, ILL. Oct. 17-Chairman Nudge
lev to-day issued q circular letter TO the
members of the Western freight associa-
ton informing them that the Ohio ard Mis-
sissippi road has announced reduction in
the rate on flour from ST. Louis to Balti-
more. The reduction is from % to 21
cents per 100 pounds, drop of cents.
Western tariff men are generally of the
opinion that this is q Baltimore and Ohio
movement and is preliminary to a cut in the
interest of Gill & Fisher of Baltimore, 1t
is still too early to reduce the corn rate, as
the new crop is not vet ready to be moved.
When this scheme was operated two years
ago it not only worked great injury TO other
roads in competition with the Baltimore
and Ohio, but was accompanied by the
worst car famine ever known in the West.
A Western official expresses the fear that a
similar experience is in store for them.
People who have been bowling for sew
eral years because Of the organization of
car service association, whereby railroads
assess shippers and consignees small sum
for deteRfIon OF cars longer than forty-eight
hours after arrival at destination, are taken
aback by the action of the Texas board Of
railroad commissioners. That board has
issued a circular ordering all railroad COM
panies in Texas to charge and collect from
consignees the sum OF s. per car per day for
use of all cars not unloaded after forty eight
hours notice to consignee or his agent In

YESTERDAYS SESSION
OF the TranscontinentaI Railway Associa.
ticu in New York City.

OF the Transcontinental Railway Associa-
ticu in New York City.
Special 10 the Gazette
New York, Oct. 1.-THE Transconti-
mental railway association resumed its SEES
sions at the Windsor hotel soon after 10
O'Clock this morning. Two subjects re-
manned to be disposed Of being unfinished
business of yesterday. They were the Pa
cific Mail steamship company's subsidy or
apportionment of space rentals, and COM
missions on passenger business. The Ques-
ton Of the apportionment among railroads
Of the association of Z per cent to the Pa
chic Mail company as compensation for not
becoming the dangerous competitor it
might be of the transcontinental traffic
handlers was found hard to solve yesterday,
but its importance demanded adjustment
to-day. At present the roads embraced in
the TranScontinental association guarantee
the Pacific Mail company $500. 600 year
for the traffic it brings TO and takes from
the Pacific coast for them. The difference
between this amount and the traffic actu-
ally handled Is made up by the association.
Last year the difference was about 1898,
600. The assessment of each railroad here
tofore has been based on returns of the
eaSI-bound and west-bound business from
the Pacific coast. Aoout 81 per cent of the
subsidy has been borne by four lines
namely, the Southern Pacific 43 per cent;
Union Pacific, % per cent: Northern Pa
cific, "a per cent. and Atchison II per cent.
The Northern Pacific companys represen-
tative objected TO n continuance of its
former proportion on the ground that
large share of its traffic which goes North
of San Francisco had nothing to DO with the
Pacific Mail steamship company, and there
fore should nos be taken into account in the
assessments for paying the subsidy. The
Union Pacific put in similar claim for
part of its business north OF San Francisco.
The meeting to-day adjourned at ID,
after q temporary arrangement regarding
the Pacific Mail subsidy TO hold until Janu-
airy had been adopted. The Northern Pa
citic representative said that the arrange
ment was an amcable one, nd was salts
factory 10 him. For time neither he nor
Chairman Nining would give any further
information as to the nature of the agree

The Cotton Rates Again.
Special TO the Gazette.

AUSTIN. Tex, Oct. 17-Tarif No. 6, on
cotton, fixes the rate of fiat cotton 10 cents
per hundred higher than that on COM
pressed cotton in order to equalize the rates
where the roads, for their own con.
venieuce, decide to compress cotton,
which the 10 cents additional on
ables them to do without loss. 1t is COM
planned that the Missouri, Kansas ami Texas
and the Central have been hauling cotton
and having il compressed at Galveston or
Houston ard throwing the cost on the
shipper, who of course throws it on the
farmer, to whom the expense of compress
ing is 81 i bale To prevent that the COM
mission to-day issued 4 circular No p,
amending cotton tariff No. 6, as follows:
l. In order to equaliLe the rates of ship
ments of cotton, made from points where
there are no congresses, with those on
shipments from points at which there is
compress, it is ordered that in all cases
where cotton shall be received by the
railroad uncompressed at points having no
congresses, such railways may have
such cotton compressed before it ar
riyes at the point OF destination
in Texas, and in case such cotton is COM
pressed before reaching such destination
the expenses of COMPRISING shall be paid
by the railroad carrying such cotton. The
rate shall be 10 cents per hundred pounds
more than the rate prescribed for uncom-
pressed cotton in commodity tariff g. to de-
fray the expense on COMPRISING.
2 II uncompressed cotton shall be shipped
