Steamships Keep It Up.
Passenger and Freight Rates
From Norfolk to Balti-
more Cut With a
Heavy Hand.

BALTIMORE, August % The rate
war between the Bay Line and the
York River line broke out
afresh to-day when the latter an
nounced that it would meet the cut
in passenger rates put into effect by
the Bay Line July II, and would go
under the latter's cut in freight rates
on Norfolk business. The Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
company has also taken hand in the
fight, and announces that beginning
next Monday it will meet the cut of
the York River line. The action of
the York River line is in retaliation
for the reduction by the Old Bay
line in passenger rates via its James
river route from Baltimore to Rich
mond from 81 so to 81. and the
freight rates from 25 cents to 10
cents hundred pounds on first class
shipments, with a similar reduction
on all other classes and commodities.
The action of the York River line
would seem to indicate that hope Of
compromising the differences has
been abandoned and that now it
must be fight to the finish.
The railroad companies which are
back of the two steamship companies
in their fipht are temporarily hand
tied. United States Judge Simon
ton before whom the Seaboard Air
Line vs.. the Sothern Railway case
was recently argued, has not yet dis
posed cf the injunction suit, and the
rate slashing will, therefore. be con-
fined to points reached by the boats
Beginning Monday morning, the
York River line and the Merchants
and Miners Transportation company
will put into effect passenger rate
between Baltimore and Newport
News and Norfolk of 81 and 81 so
for the round trip. Freight rats
will be reduced to 5 cents per 100
pounds on the three first classes and
cents per 100 pounds on the re-
naming classes.
The Bay Line. it is expected, will
promptly meet these reductions, and
possibly cut under them, they having
been the aggressors throughout the
fight.

them and the reporter followed. The

himself as best be could against odds.
Police we're sent for. The congrega-

Remedy For Flies ON Cattle.

Take coal tar two parts aud coal oil
aud grease one part each and mix With
a small amount of carbolic acid Ap-
ply with q cloth by mois.ening the hair
aud horns Of the animal with the liquid.
In the applications include feet and
legs, and it will drive every fly away
and one application will last teu days or
more in dry weather. Apply as often
as necessary and your cows will be en-
tirely secure from flies of all kinds.
Any kind Of old lard or grease can be
used. Coal tar is the base of this
remedy, AID when too thick to spread
we'll, use more oil ; when too thin to
adhere we'll, use more coal tar Car
bolic acid will cost about so or 60 cents
in crystals by the pound. and every
farmer sbonld always keep it on hand
as it. in its many uses, is indispensable.
This remedy is equally effective as a
lice extermiuator on poultry, aud is
used simply by painting the sides of
the hennery aud roosts and dropping
boards with the liquid. For young
chickens saturate cloth and place 10
the bottom Of a box, and place the
mother aud young chickens in the box
for an hour or so. This recipe,

Journal, is equal to any preparation 10

An Improbable Story.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. % 1t is said
that within the next month. Gen
Estrada Palma, the minister plenipo-
Tertiary of the Cuban republic to the
United States, and Gonzales Que,
sada, the secretary of legation. with
other prominent supporters of the
revolutionary cause, will &C to Cuba
to consult with President Cisneros,
as to the future conduct of the battle
for freedom
Generals Gomez and Maceo are
both said to have expressed the
opinion chat nothing can be accom-
plished under the present system of
fighting. They do not want to 60
on struggling as during the Ten
Years war, with NJ hope of gaining
the freedom of the and unless they
secure recognition as belligerents
from the United States To do this
it is claimed by both commanders
that they must inaugurate cam
paign of the most destructive char.
acter. Heretofore when parts of the
armies have invaded a town they
have simply driven the Spanish
forces out and then have themselves
retreated.
Their plan now is to make forced
marches upon al of the interior
cities and after efecting their cap.
ture, destroy them. They cannot Do
this, however, without the sanction
of the Cuban junta in the United
States and it is for the purpose of
settling the issue thus raised that
Palma. Quesada and others have
been summoned to the island. How
these leaders will get to Cuba, is, of
course, mystery to all save them
selves. It is stated on good author
ity that three large expeditions are
to be sent out from different places
in this country and that they will
unite and land at designated point
The vessels will be armed and pre-
pared to fight if they should be over
taken by Spanish cruisers. At the
same time these expeditions 60 out
there will be other ships sent to the
coast as decoys. The leaders in the
movement have no apprehension of
their ability to effect landing.
1t is expected that the conference
between Cisneros, Palma, Quesada
and others will result in decision
TO start both of the armies of Gomez
and Maceo on the aggressive about
the first of October and that when a
town is captured it will be destroyed.
Maceo, it is said, would like to in
augurate line of action somewhat
of the kind as Sherman's march to
the sea, and it is believed that he
will have his way.

A WAY OPEN

For the Settlement of the Differences Be-
tween England and Uncle Sam.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-While state
department officials decline to divulge
the nature of Secretary Olney's latest
suggestion to Lord Salisbury, in regard
to suggested method of settling the
Venezuelan dispute, it is under
stood that the way has been
opened for negotiations which are
expected to result in some
plan of adjusting the boundary
claims satisfactory to all concerned.
The reply of Great Britain to Mr. Oh
ney's proposal, has not yet actually
reached the state department. but it is
on the way and there are good reasons
for believing that Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador, has with
in the last "a hours received full in
structions to enter into negotiations
here on the subject.
