No Cotton Option.
The Arrangement Made by
The Alliance Exchange.
The State Feb. IS.

All the railroad freight magnates
were here yesterday and appeared be-
fore the State railroad commission, 10
regard to the matter of the proposed re-
duction in the fertilizer rates Among
those present we're Messrs. Sol. Haas,
j. D. Drake and Culp of the Southerc
system; T. NJ. Emerson. of the Allan
tic Coast Line; E. P. insolvency. Of
the Charleston and Savannah L.. A.
Emerson, of the South Caro!iua and
Georgia; W. j Crlag, Of the Port
Royal and Western Carolina, and H.
G Beattie.
There was a long aod exhaustive dis
c%ussiop of the why's and wherefores, the
railroad men showing most conclusive
ly the injustice of any reduction at this
time. Most Of the railroad men pre-
sented written arguments and state
ments of great force. Inasmucb as it
seemed to be the desire of the railroad
men and the commissioners to exclude
the representative of the press so much
so that they were excluded-Me State
though knowing all that was said on
both sides, does not care to give the
arguments. 1t is only necessary to say
that the showing made was well-nigh
unanswerable. The commission has
taken no action. 1t rill remain 10 ses-
sion several days.
In this connection it might be
mentioned that the cotton OPP
ton" demand made by the
farmers on the fertilizer manu-
facturers does not seem to be needed.
All remember the terms of the demands
made by the recent convention. 1t will
be interesting to compare those terms
with the following arrangement made
by the Alliance exchange with nearly
all the Charleston companies. which
has just been announced. It will be
easily seen that the two are most ma
terially different. Here is the announce
ment Of the exchange:
We quote fertilizers, per ton, in car
load lots, f. o. b. Charleston, S. c., to
be paid for Cd or by October Is, 1895,
in ~middlipg lint cotton, as follows:
Dissolved bone, per ton lS5 lbs
Acid pbos. l to 2 per cent. potash 1875"
KANT POO e"
Guano e to d per cent. 325"
Guaoo az to s per cent. 335"
The company will prepay and carry
freight at the rate of 8 per cent. per
annum, charging the number Of pounds
Of cotton as 5 will 60 into the freight
and interest. To illustrate: If the
freight is So and the interest say Is
cents. the total will be 1915. and 5
into this will 60 IS times, or Is more
pounds Of cotton to be added to the
above prices to pay the freight and
interest. The cotton is to be ~middling
lint and to be delivered on or before
October Is, in good marketable condi-
ton at the station where the fertilizers
we're received. unless otherwise agreed
upon. It is to be middling, according
to the Charleston exchange classical
tioa, and upon actual weight by sworn
weighers at the time of delivery. All
grades below middiing will have to be
made good aud none below good ordi-
oary will be received except by special
agreement. This is nos a Cotton
option" but a cotton trade, and if you
buy for cotton you must pay in cotton
and nothing else.

A six year-old boy in Jersey City started
to run across the street the other day Just
as q trolley car was approaching at a
high rate of speed. The motorman
sounded the gong vigorously, turned of
the power, and iammed the brake hard
down. The boy was so frightened that
he stood still right in the middle of the
track. The next moment the fender
struck him. The car was not stopped
until 1t had gone about 25O feet, and q
crowd ran to the front to gather up the
boys remains. Jimmy was found snugly
ensconced In the fender, frightened half
to death, but unhurt. This episode, illus
trating that on one occasion at least
fender worked, was so extraordinary that
it commanded large space in the news
papers.

FREE EGGS NOT FRESH EGGS.

The free trade party, in it's zeal to
initiate English methods, are anxious to
place eggs upon the free list. They have
already succeeded in reducing the amount
OF protection that was formerly given to
this American farm product under the
Mckinley tariff. Let us see how this
policy works in free trade England,
where eggs can be received from any part
OF the world without paying any tariff.

The success of the attempt to assemble
naval squadron OF imposing numbers
for extensive evolutions of the New En-
gland coast is seriously threatened by the
urgent demand on the navy for ships in
many quarters of the globe. The Gin
cinnati, which came TO Newport, was or
dered TO Cuba almost before her anchor
got fixed in the mud, it being impera-
tive on the Government to have cruiser
there, the Atlanta, recently on duty
there, being in such bad shape as to be
seriously crippled for effectiveness should
her services be needed.
For the past four months the navy de-
partment has worked earnestly to get
fleet together OF sufficient size to give OPP
portunity for elaborate maneuyers. No
such assembly as that proposed has ever
before been possible with our navy, and
it is unfortunate that the plans must
fail, as they evidently must. A half
dozen ships at the most are all that Ad-
mirsl BUNcE is likely to have under bis
command during his cruise up the coast.
1t was the purpose not only 10 give the
respective ships an opportunity to prac-
tice getting under way and coming to
anchor under different conditions, and to
try their turning circles outside and
under different speeds, but, with two
stable divisions, divided each into two
sections, to practice extensive feet evo-
lutions, forming line and forming col
umn, both in natural and inverted order;
changes OF direction, by obliquipg to the
right and to the left, and by right about
and left about; forming column, echelon,
double echelon, and column of sections
from line, and also returning to line from
these positions; finally, movements In
column TO the right and left, counter
and movements forward into
line from echelon. and taking double,
half, or other distances.
The fleet was to include a fine variety
OF ships, from the new battleship Texas
to the yacht-like Dolphin. But, as a
matter, OF fact Admiral BUNcE has
sailed from Newport with only the flag
ship New York, the Minneapolis, and
he Raleigh. The Columbia is In dry
lock at New York and will join him in a
ew days. The Atlanta may possibly do
likewise, but 1t seems improbable that
he Texas win have "a crew sufficient to
properly man her or that she will be in
ondition for joining the squadron when
he has never yet been twenty miles at
ca. 1t Is mystery to officers here how
will be possible to secure any intelli.
ent feet evolutions with this small
quadron.
Good work might be accomplished, and
ome practical lessons learned, il the fleet
'ere sent to sea, but short cruise from
ewport to Bar Harbor, which now seems
} be the full limit OF the program, while
may prove interesting to those along
,e shore, can be OF little real benefit TO
ther men or officers.
