LOWER RATES FROM NEW york
Tbs Clyde Line Takes the Initiative
and Others Follow


There is quite lively reducing oF rates
going on among the through lines from
New York into competitive territory in
this section of the south.
The reductions begun with certain
lines running into North Carolina and N
charleston. The Clyde lines first re-
ouced the rates 10 certain points in North
C'arollna, Whlch, or course, lowered the
and drew business from comnetitiva
lines. The rate applied only to throuob
business from New \ Ork, but there Is a
great deal OF such business, and the other
lines had to meet the rate TO protect
themselves. 80.
The Atlantic Coast Line reduced the
rates on through freight from New YORK.
INTO charleston ana adjacent territory.
his precipitated miniature rate yvoY in
the sections affected. tits also said that
the Mallory lines were concerned in the
cut, but this line is proverUial for its re-
auctions on almost any occasion.
Inc reduction of freight rates into
Charleston, of course, Affected rates to
other points in the interior, such as An
gusta, Macon and Atlanta, to which
points the lines making the reductions
were t,' competitive on through tranc with
the Ocean Steamship Company.
The consequence is the Ocean Steam
ship Company has found it necessary In
meet the reductions to these points. viii, h
has been done, The through rates from
New York have, therefore, been reduced
not only to Augusta, as stated in a dis
patch in yesterdays MORNING News. but
also to Macon, Atlanta and other points
IN the interior territory which are com.
petit1ve with the lines on which the re-
auctions have been made.
The rate on tirsG-class freight from
New York to Augusta has consequently
been reduced from Sc cents per hundred
TO Il cents; to Atlanta the reduction is
from 81. II to ga cents, and to Macon from
Sl.O9 TO 50 cents. The reductions are sim
liar to other points in the competitive ter
ritory
II remains to be seen whether this bid
for business on the part of competing
lines will cause still lower reduction of
rates. There are no particular differ
ences among the lines, but those which
began the reductions were not getting a
large enough amount of business to suit
them and they put down the rate. 1t
may be that the Clyde line will make an
other reduction, or the rates may be kept
Tor time where they are.

MRS. p1ETER,s SUIT.
How 1t Is Viewed BY Some of Those
Interested.

interested.
The suit of Mrs. Josephine Dieter
against the Savannah aud Isle of Hope
railroad was a topic Of discussion in street
railroad circles yesterday.
The opinion among some of the defend
ants to the bill is that the suit is inspired
by Mr.. George Parsons, and one of them
interested in the Electric railway said it
looked as If the three cent fare scheme
were not accomplishing anything and the
head of the City and Suburban lines were
pursuing other tactics
In petitioning fer the removal of two
poles from lands claimed by her on the
Waters road Mrs. Dieter attacks the
charter Of the road, claiming it to be in
valid and unconstitutional. The Electric
railway is, of course, concerned, as its
charter was obtained in similar manner
and under the same general laws. Presi-
dent Collins refused TO make any state
ment for publication in regard to the suit,
but said that he was perfectly willing to
have the matter go before the court, and
that he was ready to fight it there.
Another of the incOrporators, against
whom the suit was brought said he did
not think the charges of invalidlty of
charter amounted to anything The petit
ton on the mandatory injunction asked
for by Mrs. Dieter is set for hearing be-
fore Judge Falligant June 8.

THE TRADE CONGRESS-.
The Meeting to Be Held Later Than
Originally Proposed.

Originally Proposed.
New Orleans. May 24.-President F. G.
Ernest, of the board of trade. and chair
man of the committee on arrangements,
to-day issued circular stating that it
had been determined by the general CON
ference committee of the commercial
organizations of the city. with the
consent of the Hon. G. w Clement,
permanent chairman, and the members
of the executive committee of the
South and West Trade Congress; to post
pone the convention called to meet in New
Orleans on June II next, to a later uaue,
which will be hereafter determined upon.
The immediate cause for this postpone
ment is that it has been disco gcred by
correspondence that large number Of
the commercial bodies, both in the
south and west, find it impossible
to secure the representatives they
desired TO have attend the
con eution. owing to so many absent
who have departed, or viii depart for
Europe and the north before June II: and
it has also been found impossible to Sc
cure on that date the attendance of sew
eral gentlemen of national prominence
who look upon the movement as one of
the most vital Importance to the COM
merce of the south and west.

ooxEY's MEN HUNGRY.
The Army Left for Several Days With
Nothing but Bread and Water.

Washington, May "a. 1t became known
to-day that the Coxeyites in their camp
near Highlands, Md, have, for three
days, had only bread and water to eat.
The suffering has been borne, for the
most part, without murmur. During
this time there have been but few deser-
tioBs. Their pitiable condition was re.
heved this afternoon by a greater
variety of supplies furnished by the citi-
zens of Washington than the common
wealers have had at any previous time
since leaving n assillon. When the supply
wagons reached the camp and their con
tents became known, the hungry men
gave a succession of cheers which be-
spoke their gratitude.
Michael Fit gerald became imbued with
the idea that he could pr sent his petit
tion in person upon the floor Of the House,
and intended to do so tomorrow, but
after discovering this method impracti-
cable, he has de, ided to adopt other
means, and also ask a hearing before

STEEL woEKs SHUT DOWN.
Lack Of Iron and Coke Forcing Sus-
....t pensions Of Work.

Braddock, Pa, May 24.-The Edgar
Thompson Steel WORKS closed down this
morning in all departments but one, and
that will likely close tomorrow. The
cause is a lack Of iron and coke: The
scarcity of iron results fom the shut
down of so many furnaces. Two more
were blown ont this morning, making
eight in all. Furnace 20" which makes
manganese, will be compelled 70 close To-
morrow. The blowing out OF so many
furnaces, and the consequent scarcity OF
iron may cause a shut down OF the

THE JOKE" OF AsaUITH's BRIDE
London Society Tells Queer Story of
Mustard Plasters and Shirts.
From the Philadelphia Record.

London May 13.-A curious story about
Miss Margot Tenant, now the bride of
Homo Secretary Asquith, is going the
rounds of society. 1t seems that Miss
Tenant was staying in a country house
whore there was hunting party. The
guests were to return few minutes be-
fore the dinner began, and all had their
dress suits and shirts laid out ready
to put on. Some sprghtly genius sewed
mustard plaster leaves INSIDE the shirts.
In the hurry no one noticed the pIas-
tiers, which were deftly concealed but at
the dinner it was observed that the men
squiFmed in their chairs and looked
puzzled. Some turned pale: others per-
spired. One by one they excused th m
sci es, and presently none but the women
remained.
Comparison of notes revealed TO the
men the fact that there had been dire
plot. But English society is so prim that
people mustn't talk about shirts in com
pany, and no general Investigation could
be held. 1t was commonly asserted that
Miss Tenant invented the scheme. but
that may be pure surmise or Islander.
