REDUCED RATE TICKETS.

Tho Right to Sell Railroad Tickets at
Wholesale Rates Sustained by tho SUI
preme Court.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-A judgment
of great interest in its construction of
what, under the Interstate Commerce
act, constitutes an unlawful discrimina-
ton, was rendered by the United States
Supreme Court to-day, in the case com.
monty known as the b. g. o. railroad
theatrical rate case, involving the right
of the railroad company to sell at a re-
duced rate tickets to parties of ten or
moro persons.
The court, in an opinion by Justice
Brown, sustained the decision of Judge
jackson, refusing to issue an injunction
to restrain the railroad company from
continuing the sale of party tickets
The general ground of the opinion is
that it is not an unjust discrimination
for a railroad company to sell tickets al
wholesale cheaper than at retail.

1t Has Been Delayed by Lack Of Information,
but Will Soon BE Reported.
Mr.. Springer is having considerable difficulty
in getting the information he wants from the
census office with relation to woolen manu-
fac.ures.
The reporting Of the free-wool bill to the
House has been delayed for some time on &C
count Of the delay of the census Office in fur
nishing this information, and it ID
probable that the committee will wait
no longer, but will prepare the report with the
information they have and submit il to the
House as soon as possible. 1t is expected that
the Springer BILL which in is original form
placed wool on the free list and merely
repealed the compensatory duties on WOODEN
manufactures, will be amended SO as to reduce
the protection duties wooden manufac-
lures considerably. Where this duty is now
40 per cent or less it will be reduced
on an average Of s per cent, and all duties now
above 40 per cent will be reduced to 40 per
cent,
