RATES ON COAL.
They Are Being Considered by the south
ern Hallway Association.


ern Hallway Association.
ATLANTA, GA, October 4-The Rate
Committee Of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association continued It's ses-
sion here to-day. and many important
matters were taken up. Chief among the
measures was lower rates between South
Atlantic points anl the Gulf ports. The
schedule OF the rates from Charleston
and Savannah To points on the Gulf OF
Mexico has been lowered in certain par
ticulars.
Perhaps the most important Of all the
questions that have come up before the
committee Is the matter of equalizing
the rates on steam coal and domestic
coal The rate on steam coal has here-
tofore been about - cents lower than the
rate on domestic coal. steam coal being
that grade of coal used by the factories
and railroads, and domestic being that
used in private residences and for gen
erdl consumers dse.
\ special committee has been appointed
to take the coal-rates In hand, and Will
probably report tomorrow. II 1t Is de-
cided 10 lower the rate on domestic coal
10 a level with the rate on steam coal
1t will amount to quite a consideration 10
the consumers i'm all of the larger cities
of the South. II. on the contrary, II Is
decided 10 raise the rate on steam coal
to that on domestic coal. 1t Will be Il
great loss 10 the furnaces.

opinions which would necessarily dis
qualify him from hearing the case. The
book is on the ownership Of lands by

ton TO grant a change f venue. even
