LONDON, Dec. S.-Tho good and bad
people of London were treated this af-
ternoou to sight rarely seen IN En-
gland. 1t was little less than anarchy
bidding o bold defiance to the law, and
the authorities making display OF p0-
lice calculated to strike terror into the
hearts Of the evil minded.
Such thing could not be tolerated,
and tho Hon. Asquith, the secretary OF
state for home affairs, did not dare to
allow any further rope to the reds
of London, and the police this after
noon mustered strong force about
Trafalgar Square, while reserves were
stationed in Regent street, Waterloo
Place, Charing Cross Roads, Northum'
berland avenue and on the embank.
ment. This display of force, caused
many thousands Of people to flock TO
the neighborhood.
The gathering Of these crowds was
Just what the Anarchists wanted and il
enabled them to do more towards
spreading their fiery literature and
thereby air their dynamite doctrines.
The attempt Of the anarchists to hold
meeting on the steps of the Gordon
statue was followed by other aud aimi-
lar attempts.
Suddenly an anarchist rushed
through the lines OF police. scaled q
monument and began TO address the
crowd around him, but he had only ut
tered few words when a stalWart po-
liceman seized him and threw him
bodily into the crowd.
Shortly after the mounted police
charged upon the Anarchists at Trafal-
gar Square scattering them in all direc-
tions.
The,police on foot then began to dis
perse the mob, who made but slight
resistance. Several brushes occurred
and the anarchists made many threats.

troller OF the currency, with the ap'
proval OF the secretary OF the treasury.
The question OF loans to directors ia
discussed, and distinction drawn be-
tween directors who are merely direc-
tors, and those who are constituted the
executive officers OF tho bank, and are
paid by the bank for their service.
Upon the subject OF currency legisla-
ton is the following: The comptroller
has been urged to make some specific
recommendation with respect to reVi-
sion OF the law SO far as it pertains to
the issuing OF currency. Alter a careful
consideration OF the question the comp
troller is OF the opinion that, aside from
the amendments heretofore suggested
allowing banks to issue circulating notes
to an amount equal to the par value oil
the bonds held to secure circulation and
abolishing q portion OF the tax on ma
tiona bank circulation, the public good
will be best subserved at this time by
making no radical change in the proVls-
ions OF the law as it now stands.
In view OF the TACT that there is now
q very great abundance OF unemployed
currency in the country, as is shown by
the daily money returns from the COM
mercial centers, it would seem that
whatever need appeared some months
since for enlarging to any marked OK
tent the circulating medium has now
ceased to exist, and therefore congress is
afforded an opportunity OF giving to
the whole subject that careful research
and investigation that its importance in
all OF its bearings demands.

and political intrigue.
In the Kulturkampf struggle Prince
Bismarck always poured the full yials
of his wrath upon the Jesuits and 30
earned for himself the opposition Of
German Catholics as a whole. Since
that time the pope and the emperor

INTERSTATE CoMMEKoE.

The Commission Asks that the Long and
Short Haul Clause bo Amended.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 3.-The fol-
lowing is synopsia of the seventh an
uual report of the Interstate commerce
commission:
Attention is called to the peculiar
office Of common carriers and tho de-
pendencs of every occupation upon
their facilities; the right OF every per-
son to receive Just and equal treatment
in all that pertains to public transpor--
tation and the paramount purpose OF
regulating enactments to secure 70 the
people the actual enjoyment OF this
right. There must be n common pubic
rate, prima facie, just and reasonable,
which measures the lawful charges oil
the carrier.
The enactment of the long and short
haul clause was deemed public neces-
Bity. 1t is nothing more than an ex-
tension to places OF the rule forbidding
unjust discrimination between persons.
The operation Of the long and short
haul provision is stated to have been
satisfactory under the construction put
upon it by tho commission and accepted
generally by the carriers. But the eff
feet OF decision OF the court Of appeals
in an Iowa case, wherein the word
cline" in the statute was given wholly
different meaning from that which the
commission had held was the properc con-
struction has been startling. This court
decision has been followed and expanded
by other courts. These decisions
hold in effect that one railroad is a line
and that the came and another road 10 a
different ne, and that these railroads
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1893-12-04

are still another line, and so on; and
that rates on one line arc not to be COM
pared with rates on another. The COM
mission holds that tho word Zine"
means physical limo, tho tracks of one
or moro railroads, and that line may
be extended over other roads by simply
connecting the tracks. Further state
ments are made with regard to publica-
tion OF rates for water and rail trans
portation and recommendation is made
for amendment so as to bring these
water carriers under the law.

StrIko-What He Says of 1t.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec, 3.-P. NJ.
Arthur, grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, arrived at the
Bingham House this evening from
Cleveland. He and Chairman Clark
had long interview in which the latter
outlined tho work in hand and the plans
for tho future conduct of the LehiSh
Valley strike.
Chief Arthur said:
"The work of my representative, Mr..
Youngson, has been in every way salts
factory to me in this fight, and will in
no wise interfere with his plans. He is
amply able to conduct the affairs OF the
engineers in the Lehigh Valley"
"Will you seek an audience with
President Wilbur%
"No; the men who had right to
such an audience have been refused and
will certainly not attempt TO see him. l
will be in the east for short time, and
il he desires to see me he will have to
send word to that effect"
Mr.. Arthur refused at this time to
further discuss the strike situation.
Mr.. Youngson has left Bethlehem and
will meet him here tonight.
The Lehigh Valley railroad to-day
issued a notice in which it offered re-
ward for tie arrest aud conviction Of
the men who cut the freight train at
White Haven yesterday morning. The
issuance of such notice had the effect of
making Chairman Clark very angry.
He said that the company should be
very certain that the train had been so
cut before its officials made such o
grave charge.

EsrEMATEs oF REYENuE.

The estimates of the revenue to be
derived from the tariff bill are complet-
ed, and will be submitted tomorrow.
They show that the deficit in the reve-
nues on the basis OF governmental ex-
penditure OF S55,00O,000 year will be
raised to sos, 200, 900. which must be
raised from increased internal revenue
taxes or an income tax. 1t is not prob
able that the tax on whisky will be in
creased more than ten cents per gallon,
which will increase the revenue from
this source $l0,00O,000. Although it
was at one time last week practically
denied in an informal way to impose q
tax on the incomes OF corporations and
legacies, there has been change OF sem
timent, and it is almost certain that
straight tax on individual incomes over
5000 will be recommended.
Even if the Wilson bill is reported
this week, it is not expected that tho
debate can begin until next week.

week cannot be accurately forecast. 1t
