FREIGHT RATES UNDER FIRE.
Several Points Gained in the Inter-
est of Savannah.

est of Savannah.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. S0-Capt. D. C. Purse
of the Savannah Freight Bureau won a
good point for the naval stores men be-
fore the railroad commission to-day. He
succeeded in getting the commission to
pass an order amending the rules so as
to prohibit the roads from adding the 10
per cent. to the regular standard tariff
on this class of shipments. Heretofore
the roads in the fourth class, one of which
IS the Central railroad have been allow
ed to add 10 per cent. TO the standard tar
if, while the per cent. has been greater
or less in the other classes. 1t appears
however. that none Of the lines had taken
advantage of this right and in order to
prevent them from doing so in the future
the application for its repeal was made.
The railroad commission to-day also
passed an order upon the application OF
c. c. Stratton & Co., of Macon and other
brick makers raising the weight Of brick
in a car load from $4,000 to 10000 pounds
this ruling being virtually reduction on
that class of shipments
<AiAotHei CNdIl6e IN the freight rates
largely affecting Savannah shippers made
by the commission to-day was on rice
Heretofore rice in sacks has been charged
for at twice the rate on the sacked goods
The latter are now put on a level with bar
rel rice.
The commission will hear the applica-
ton of the merchants Of Dublin for the
placing of the Wrightsville and Tennille
railroad under the operation of rule on
Oct. l6. II was shown to the commission
that a majority of the stock of the
Wrightsville and Tennille is owned by
the Central railroad, and unless the Cen
trail railroad controverts this showing on
the 10th the order will be passed. which
will give the shippers affected by the two
lines a considerable general reduction.
The application of Commissioner Purse
OF the Savannah Freight Bureau for a re-
duction Of the rates on barrel material
was Withdrawn on account of the fact
that the commissioner declared that the
rates as they appeared in the published
tariff sheets were Incorrect. When cor
rected the commission held that they
would in all probability be satisfactory Ia
the shippers. II they are not Capt. Purse,
who left for Savannah tonight, TO make
further investigation on that head, win
bring another case.

The D.neIev Bill Dead.

The Dingley Bill is dead. Dead as a
door nail. 1t was shown to have no
vitality left after short spicy but bit
ter debate in the Senate last Wednes-
day, This ends tariff legislative for
this Congress. and it may be for the
next one. 1t was demonstrated that
Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska.
and other Western Silver Senators,
who hold balance of power in the
Senate have parted company with the
republican party. and it is extremely
doubtful whether Mr.. Hannah, the re-
publican, purchasing agent can buy
enough State legislatures to give that
marty control of the Senate during
McKinley's term. The outlook is
therefore Frightening. Taxation new
er made prosperity, and in this case
would only serve to pay back campaign
subscriptions A little retrenchment
and reform will easily bring the ex-
nenses of the government within the
present revenues, ana 20 increase OF
taxation should ever be permitted. liz
defeat Bryan is still doing some glori
GUS work for the country.

May Succeed Spencer,

RALEIGH. N. c., Dec. 19,-The story
is talked today quietly from a good
source that it is likely that Col. A. b.
Andrews of this city, first vice presi-
dent of the Southern, is likely to sue
coed Samuel Spencer as president of
the system, the theory being rather
confidently advanced from the same
source whence emanates the story that
Spencer will be at the head of the New
York Central. and that Mr. Baldwin,
recently vice president of the South
ern, will go with him.
Col. Andrews, it is said. will accept
the presidency of the Southern only
on condition that he may continue his
residence in Raleigh. He has been in
New York for several days.

railroad News.

The report that Mr.. Samuel Spencer
would resign the presidency of the
Southern Railway system to accept
the presidency of the New YORK Cen
trail had it's influence in the decline OF
the stocks of the Southern in Satur
days dealings.
The interests of J. P. Morgan q Co
and the Vanderbilts are so close thai
in any change in the presidency OF the
New York Central property the bank
ing house of Morgan & Co. would be
consulted. Mr.. Spencer would be the
natural choice of this house, as he hat
been its railroad expert many years
and was placed by it at the head OF the
Southern.
Cbauncey NJ. Depew. who is nov
president of the New York Central
will, it Is rumored, remain with thu
New York Central as chairman Of the
board of directors, and in this capaci
ty will look after interests that now
occupy him. Mr.. Spencer, it is said
will take charge of the operating de
partment.-
John K. Cowen was on last WedDes
day reelected president of the Balti
more & Ohio railroad by the director
