of the convention in declaring for the
free and unlimited coinage of the white
metal, it is likely that he will let it be
known, and if on the other hand he in
tends to repudiate the conventions action
1T rs not likely that he will be allowed to
remain long in peace.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in this section in regard to the ac-
ton of the Maryland Democracy, whose
convention is to be held within the next
few weeks. That Senator German has
regained his full power as the boss of the
party is generally conceded; in fact it
was well proven by the recent withdraw
al OF eX-Congressman Rayner from the
gubernatorial race which he had entered
with the avowed intention of overthrow
ing Gormanism. The sentiment in Mary
land seems to be generally in favor of
sound money and unless Senator German
intervenes the convention will undoubt-
eddy declare for it. 1t is barely possible.
so the intimation goes, that the senator
may find it to his ultimate political inter
est to throw the convention the other way
and if he does he will in all LIKELIHOOD
attain his object

SUFFOCATED IN A TUNNEL.
Four Men Meet Death in a Railroad
Tunnel in Colorado.

Pitkin, Col, June 9.-News reached
here today that four men were suffocated
in the Alpine tunnel yesterday. An
engine had run into the tunnel which is
177G feet long with crew to clear away
the dirt. Ventilation of the tunnel is
poor, and the smoke from the engine
made it so sitting that the men soon
prepared to leave. AS the engine was
backing out, man was discovered lying
across the track and the engine was re-
versed, running further into the tunnel,
where all the men were quickly overcome
by suffocation. Strenuous efforts were
made to revive the men, but it was i'm
possible, as the air within had been so
impregnated with gas and smoke that for
several hours no one could enter. The
dead are:
NJ. w. Flavin, superintendent, mar
ried.
NJ. Martinez, engineer, married.
NJ. Burns, fireman, married.
Oscar Cammaman, miner, single.
A special train came up from Gunnison
this evening carrying friends and rela-
tives of the victims and went to the tun-
mel to bring the bodies to town.

Special Correspondence.

Washington. June 6, 1895.
The political horizon is indeed thicken-
ing up and conditions are becoming more
and more mixed. This is the season for
conventions and as the announcement
is made of the action of the various
States the result becomes still more prob
lematical. The latest States to be heard
from are Kentucky and Illinois. the con-
vention in the first named State being
that Of the Republicans and in the lat
ter that of the Democrats. 1t is true
that the action of both conventions was
pretty we'll determined upon and believed
beforehand, but now that their platforms
have been adopted it remains to see in
what way the issue will be met by the
opposing factions. In Kentucky the plat
form adopted by the Republicans is vir-
tually the same as the one outlined by
Secretary Carlisle in his recent speeches,
so that if the secretary of the treasury is
taken as an adviser of the Democrats in
that State the very peculiar spectacle will
be seen of two great political parties
battling for supremacy ON practically the
same platform. On the other hand, if
free coinage is to carry the day it will
undoubtedly mean the reelection of SEN
ator Blackburn as it is on that policy
he is making his fight.
Out in Illinois the action of the conven-
tion, if it has no other effect, will proba-
bly, result in driving Vice President Stew
ensonAout into the open on the financial
issue Up to the present time he has
managed to keep his own counsel and his
position as to silver or sound money is
still a subject of speculation. If he now
considers himself bound by the action

HEARD IN THE
HOUSTON VS.. GALVESTON
DIFFERENTIAL CASE.
BOTH SIDES ABLY REPRESENTED
BY LAWYERS OF STATE
ABILITY.
The State Argues That the Commission
is Vested With Legislative Powers
That Can Not Be Set Aside I'm
less Personal Rights Are
Affected.

Alter lour days or testimony last week
and an entire day of argument yesterday.
the famous Houston and Galveston diff
terential case more properly termed in this
instance as II. Il. Ladd & Co., VS.. The
Railroad commission, was finally conclud-
ed last evening and is now in the hands
of Judge Morris for disposition.
| The arguments on the case began at
8 O'Clock this morning. The State was rep
resented by Attorney General Crane and
Congressman Hutchinson of Houston. Ladd
Il Co., were represented by Attorneys r.
II. Wheeler and Ballinger of Galveston.
In arguing the case neither side dwelt at
any great length with the testimony in the
case though frequent brief references
were made thereto.
The main points IN the arguments of the
attorneys for the State We're first that the
railroad commission was protected in its
findings and rulings as was the State
legislature and could not be set aside by
a court unless it was demonstrated beyond
the peradventure of a doubt that such
rates and rulings We're manifestly unjust
and a direct contiscation of individual
rights. That legislature enactments
were not subject to overrulings unless it
could be clearly shown that such enact
ments were infringments on personal
rights. That the railroad commission had
been established by the legislature and had
been vested in its relationship to railroad
with those same arbitrary rights that be-
lOnged to the legislature and unless il
could be clearly shown that the rulings of
the commission infringed directly upon
M n ia 1 M IN
Il right to set them aside. Secondly that
the differential between Houston and Gal
weston was not discrimination against
the latter named city, but was simply a
recognition of the difference between the
carrying of freight between Houston and
Galveston based on the fact of water
competition. That the 80 miles of road
from Houston to Galveston was suited
unlike any other 80 miles of road in the
State. That the whole rating was based
on water competition such as did not
exist in any other portion Of the State.
For this reason that the through rates
applicable as other points on this differ
entail question could not possibly apply to
Houston. Thirdly that Ladd q Co., the
plaintiffs in this case at no point specified
where they had been the looser by the eX
istence of this differential and therefore
had no right to assume a dictatorship
whereby they aimed to control the actions
of the universe or the commission. That
inasmuch as they did not set forth any
direct or indirect injury that had been
resultant to them from this differential
that there was no more sense in their.
applying for relief than there was in an
Austin bootblack.
In rebuttal to this argument the attor-
neys for the plaintiff set forth that the
existence of the differential was an unjust

FREE SILVER IN GEORGIA.

Since his recent return from Georgia
Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith
has expressed himself as follows upon the
silver situation in that State:
"There are men in Georgia now de-
Tending the policy of sound money who
were talking silver 60 days ago. | find
men who are working for salaries are be-
ginning to wonder how the free coinage of
silver could benefit them and are discOv-
ering that to reduce the purchasing pow
er of the dollar would be like reducing
their salaries. Riding one day in the
smoking car of one of the local accom-
mediation trains into Atlanta, l found a
party of railroad men discussing the ques-
ton, and each of them had concluded
that free silver would be disadvantage.
'"This is but an indication of the change
that is taking place of the sentiment of
the Southern people. My personal OBJ
servatiOn has been limited to Georgia,
but from reports received from other
sections of the country l judge that the
same thing is occurring elsewhere. l
do not mean to say that there is not a
strong silver sentiment in Georgia, but
l do not think that any one will deny
that the cause of sound money has made
great progress during the last two
months"

OPINIONS,

Following are the opinions delivered
by the supreme court yesterday:
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad
company VS.. G. A. Langford. Suit to
recover damages for personal injuries al
legged to have been inflicted upon Mrs.
pellant's servants from Cooke county;
Second district. AT the time o. the ac-
cident, appellee and her husband We're
driving along road in close prOXiminity
to the tracks of appellant. The horses
of Langford became manageable and
began eraring and plunging in close
proximity to the tracks, some of the
witnesses claiming that they we're some
times on and sometimes off the track as
they went along, but all agreeing that
they were very close thereto. 1t was
shown that Langford could have taken
another road ON which he would have
been in no danger from the cars of ap-
pellant. While Langford's team was
frightened and unmanageable and in close
proximity to the track, the servants
of appellant ran train down the track,
and thus caused the collision, which
resulted in the injur es complained Of
The evidence tended - show that the
servants of appellant in charge of the
train discovered the condition of the
team in time to have avoided the ac-
cident and that they faxed to use proper
precautions to avert a collision.
After giving a correct charge upon
the issues of defendants negligence and
plaintiffs contributing negligence, if their
condition of danger became known to
the servants of apo an, in time for
them to have stopped the train, or to have
diverted it to another track.
O 1t is urged that this charge is
upon the weight of the evidence, and that
it virtually instructed the jury that a
