meeting, or right after the close of great
political convention.
your delegates have just assembled in
q great convention and on the anniversary
of the battle of Bunker Hill they again
placed before the people those grand old
Republican principles which began with
Abraham Lincoln and were added to and
broadened by long list of lllustrious sue
cesso-s.
Their next move was to place before
the people that great and glorious man
the unanimous choice of the people-Wil-
liam Mckinley. [Great applause.

choice, and on the streets are thousands
more who are shouting themselves hoarse

RATE WAR GOES MERRILYON
No Solution of the Situation Yet
in Sight.
Talk OF njunctiOns Is Rife and There
Are RumOrs of Moves and
COunter-Moyes.

The rate war between the Seaboard Air
Line and the Southern Railroad continues
haiIroad men are predicting tnaJ tie end
is not in sight yet.
Tie present status of affairs is that the
Southern Railroad, the Atlantic Coast Line
ana the other roads OF the Southern states
freight Association are operating on the
basis or so per cent cut OF the old rates
At the same time the Seaboard Air Line
Is running on cut OF about 35 per cent
or their old tariff.
Il rumor has been in circulation that the
latter corporation had decided upon another
cut TO get below that OF the Southern
This was denied by Seaboard official,
yesterday. The eSeaboardhas anothertrump
card to play with the hope OF euchering
lis competitors. The Seaboard people are
about to serve an Injunction upon the
Southern, restraining IL from operating
under the present schedule, asserting that
the Southern is violating the interstate COM
merce law IN regard to the long and short
haul clause.
IL Is c!anmed on the part of the Seaboard
mat tine southern is charging larger rates
Tor iEterrnedi ate points than tile tariff
for long distances where there are COM
peting lines The matter will first be-
brought before the Interstate Commerce
Cofniniss. iIord1 IS -nieut and anImmetiiate
decision urged
Should the decision be adverse to the
conplainants they will carry it into the
courts, and should the rate war no: be
settled the Southern is not liable to ac-
cept an adverse decision.
Until some decision is reached it is not
probable that another cut Will be made to
meet the Southern's rate
In the meantime the committee OF the
association whose roads can only act as a
unit, and any move must be acqGiesced in
oy all the Companies. has 50 arranged mat
ters that another cut can be made without
Calling the full committee together.
Thus Tar the greater portion of the diff
cuity has been over freight traffic. but now
the passenger question is beginning to play
an important part. The Merchants and
Miners line from Baltimore to Norfolk has
greatly cut It's passenger rates. and has
added Tree berths and other Inducements
10 its patrons. This the Seaboard proposes
TO meet by including fre,. meals in addition
