Greenville, S. c.. August. 17.-Argu-
ment i'll the Seaboard Air Line cut rate
injunction case was resumed to-day with
its development by counsel. Col. Hen
derson, attorney for the Southern railway,
argued for two hours tot day sustaining
the jurisdiction of the court. He sus-
tanned the complaint of the bill, except
SO far as it charged the Southern railway
with conspiracy. He argued that the
cut of 80 per cent by the Seaboard Air
Line was not made in connection with
legitimate business, but was specially in
tedned to cripple the Southern railway
Inc southern railway met the cut with
an eighty per cent. reduction in order to
END the war at once. He insisted that
the court could stop the war and thus
prevent great injury to railroad property
ana the property of private individuals
lie virtually confessed that he had no
authorities for his contention, saying that
the point was new, but he believed that
the time would come, and come very
soon, when the courts would take juris-
dlction to prevent injury and destruction
OF property. He stated emphatically
that II the injunction was not made per-
manent the Southern would go into the
war TO win. He asserted that if the
court had not interferred the whole mat
ter would have been settled before this
time He quoted English authorities
bearing on the present suit, but could
offer no decisions on this question in the
United States courts.
Judge Watts, for the Seaboard Air
Line, in his argument stated that the
war was made by the southern and other
railways directly against the Seaboard by
the establishment of line of steamers
from Portsmouth to Baltimore. He
claimed that the Seaboard Air Line cut
OF 10 per cent. was made in the couse of
Legitimate business, and said that under
no circumstances would that road return
to the rates of the 18th of July. The
Seaboard Air Line would not meet the so
per cent. cut He argued that the court
had no more right to interfere with the
railroads than it had to interfere with the
business of private merchant. The in
terstate commerce commission had
power under certain conditions to en-
force uniform rates and prevent discrimi
nations, but had no power to establish
rates and make these iron-clad. The only
power the Federal authorities had under
any circumstances was to prohibit eyces.
sive rates. He cited number of deci
slons by United States courts to sustain
this view and insisted thai the court was
entirely without jurisdiction.

GETTING READY FOR III.
Mr.. Cleveland Will Receive the Distin-
guished Chinaman.

Washington August 17.-Arrange.
ments are being completed as fast as pos
sible for the reception of Ii Hung Chang
There have been several delays in al rang
ing the programme, owing to the entire
lack OF information concerning Lis visit.
the most important point now in doubt
being as to whether or not the Chinese
viceroy is to be the guest of the United
States,
1t is settled as far as il can be that the
President will receive the distinguished
guest in New York harbor upon the Dol
phin or some other naval vessel on Au-
gust 81. This programme may be
changed and later events may render it
impracticable. The officials in Washing
ton are not yet fully informed as to the
wishes of the President in the matter. it
is quite certain, however, that in case the
President should be aboard the Dolphin.
the other vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron will be surrounding her and the
reception made as impressive as possible.
There has been some talk of the reception
taking place in Washington, but the
President does not wish to come to this
city during the summer and it is under
stood the viceroy does not care to 90 to
Gray Gables. 1t also stated that guest
of the nation could not well be received
at the summer home of the President and
that Mr.. Cleveland much preferred going
to New York to receiving Ii Mt GRAY
Gables.

a TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Three Men Sent to Eternity and Many
Others Badly Injured.

Lancaster, Pa, August 17.-Three
went were killed, fifteen or more injured
and several buildings demolished by the
explosion of twenty-five pounds of dyna-
mite at New Holland, Pa, this morning.
The Pennsylvania Telephone Company is
building a new line in that vicinity and
had stored the explosive in the summer
kitchen Of the Eagle Hotel. Early this
morning Charles +. Cannon, an employee
of the company and one of gang just
about to start to work, went to the
kitchen to get enough dynamite for the
days use
A few moments later there was terri
bic explosion and one side of the kitchen
was blown out. A big hole on the other
side had blood and flesh on the ragged
edges, and it is supposed that Cannon's
body was sent through there. The I'M
fortunate man was blown to atoms, his
stomach having been found two blocks
away.
Frank Hammond, of Harrisburg who
was standing just outside of the build
ing, had every bone in his body broken
and was instantly killed. George Cross
man, of Steelton, water boy, was also
standing near the building, and was so
badly injured that he died while being
brought to this city
Among those most seriously injured
are Michael Wade, of New Holland, who
may die Frank Lewis, of Lancaster;
Frank Peale, of Scranton; David Hoffman,
of Reading; Joseph Ham. of Allentown;
Walter Faesig, of New Holland, and
Phillip Lawrence, John Conlon, John
White and Robert Shirk, of Lancaster.
Two other outbuildings close to the
summer kitchen were badly wrecked, as
was also part of the hotel, while the
whole front of large implement store
was blown out. The damage to property
Will amount to large sum. Just what
caused the explosion can only be nice
tured, as Cannon was the only person in
the building when it occurred.

ment has grown up since then in favor of
Chicago. The meeting of the committee
here tomorrow may be quite stormy, as
there is belief that the Watson "middle
of the readers" are in the majority.
