LOCAL SHIPMENTS OF GRAIN.
Decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission I'm a Railroad Case.

decision OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission I'm Railroad Case.
The Interstate Commerce Commission yes
terday, in an opinion by Commissioner
Prouty, announced its decision in the mat
ter OF alleged unlawful rates and practices
in the transportation OF grain and grain
products by the Atchison. Topeka 4 Santa
Fe Railway Company and others.
Shipments Of grain We're carried 10 Kan
sas City, Mo, from points west thereof
at local rates, and quantities of grain
were afterward reshipped and rebilIed from
Kansas City 10 Chicago or other destina-
tions at the balance OF the established
through rate from the original point of
shipment 10 Chicago or other ultimate
destinations, instead Of the higher local
rate in force from Kansas City 10 such
destination
I..cre was no agreement for through
carriage between shipper and carrier at
the Original point Of shipment, no other
destination than Kansas City was named,
and, upon carriage OF the grain Ia that
point and delivery to consignees, the trans
portation was completed, and the localrat
in effect to Kansas City was paid: but the
practice was 10 allow the consignee ar
other owner Of grain at Kansas City to
ship from Kansas City TO hicagU and other
points at the balance Of the through
rate upon presentation of the paid ex-
pcIse bill 10 Kansas City and certificdtion
by n Joint agent Of carriers at Kansas City.
Under this expense bill" practice IL was
practicable, through transfer Of expense
bills, 70 secure lower balance OF through
Iate" than would result from dedurting
the local rate between the actual point
of origin and Kansas City from the through
rate between said point OF origin and the
final destination, and ether rate manlpll-
l5tions Were possible.
Held, That such shipment and reship-
mont did not constitute through shir,-
ment from the point OF origin 10 the point
OF final destination, and grain so shinped
and reshipped was hot entitled to the
benefit OF the through rate in force
Held further, That the shipment from
the point OF origin to Kansas City was
local, resulting In the grain becoming Kan
sas City grain, and the fact that it had
come from point farther west was no
reason for applying on shipments OF such
grain from Kansas City yanyles or different
rate than was in force from Kansas CITY.
No opinion upon the practice Of billing or
rcconsigning or holding in transit, IL the
shipment is d thorough shipment upon a
through late, is expressed.

An Escaped Lunatic Captured ai
Anacostia by Policeman Reagen.

Joseph Mcintosh, an aged Inmate of the
Government Asylum for the Insane, es-
capped from his keepers yesterday and
created a mild sensation in Anacostia
His queer actions frightened the people
who weIe near at hand, and not q man
could be found who would go near him.
A coiored man, who remembered that
reward OF 50 was given for the capture
of each escaped inmate, drew cautiously
neal McIntsob, but the lunatic turned
suddenly and made such hostile demon
stratLons that his would-be captor fled
pIecipitately.
Policeman Reagen is an old hand at
the business and in a few minutes after his
arrival Mcintosh was on his way to the
asylum. The policemen are not permtte i

MAIL LINE AND RAILROAD
COMMENCING TO FEEL THE PINCH
OF COMPETITION.
Companies Are Much Concerned Over
the Decreasing Volume of Trade
Entering the Port of San Francisco.

The Pacific Mail and the Occidental
and Oriental Steamship Companies, to-
gether with the Southern Pacific com
pany. are much concerned over the de-
creasng volume of trade entering the
port of San Francisco from the Orient,
says the Chronicle. There was con-
ference between the officials of the
lines mentioned in the Office of c. f.
Smurr, general freight agent of the
Southern Pacific Company, recently,
at which the traffic situation was con-
sidered at length, and various pro-
posed measures for its Improvement
discussed. No decisive action was
taken, however.
THE trouble lies in the fact that
there is not enough east-bound bust
ness for all the lines now plying to
and from the Orient" said Mr.. Smurr,
in discussing the situation yesterday.
1--WE talked over matters yesterday,
but decided for the present to do no
more than we have been doing of late
in the direction of fighting for the
business, viz. the making of rates in
competition with the rates via other
lines and via the Suez route AS mat
tiers now stand, rates huctuate with
the departure of every steamer. Our
/ representatives at Yokohama are com
PEELED to make rates to meet the rates
/ al
never know what the rates are until
the steamer arrives here. That does
not evince a very healthy condition of
affairs, but we have not as yet discov-
cred any means of improving mat
ters."
Mr. Smurr said that the Nippon
Yusen Kasha was getting its share
of the east bound freight traffic, part
of which at least would otherwise
come to San Francisco. He was in
clined to think, however, that the
competitor of the Suez route than OF
the lines plying between Japan and
this Coast. 1t is generally admitted,
nevertheless, that the new line to
Puget sound has proved a disturbing
factor of considerable consequence,
and that the existing instability of
rates is largely due to the increased
competition afforded by its steamers
The competition for. freight traffic
originating in the Orient, has never

dental and Oriental Steamship com
panies see no means at present for i'm
