Are we not stepped in debt without this

are we in that condition, that the most

the latter condition prevails in our

it. Then if economy is what ne stand

The Antitrust Law and Railroads

The decision of the Supreme Court,
holding that the Antitrust Law of
1890 applies to railroads will be heard
with general regret, because it imperils
the Joint Traffic Association, the most
hopeful expedient for regulating rates
yet devised.
The Trans-M Missouri Traffic Associa-
ton, on whose case the Supreme Coart
passed recently; was dissolved some
months ago, because it was Dot be-
lieved to come within the statutory
limits by the lawyers who organized
the Jolnt-Traffic Association for the
trunk lines. This lessons the impor-
tance of the decision in its application
to the latter; but the Supreme Court,
in its current finding, holds that the
Sherman antitrust law applies to rail
roads and interstate commerce. Judge
Wallace, in the United States Circuit
Court, in New York, Friday. held that
the interstate commerce act did not
apply to the Joint Traffic Association,
under the procedure proposed, and that
the antitrust act was not intended to
apply to railroads The Supreme Court
apparently takes different view, and
will probably reverse Judge Wallace's
decision when it is reached from two
to three years hence.
Apparently and probably, because
the Joint Traffic Association is organ
lied on different plan from it's prede-
cessors, it provides for no pool. It does
not merge rec9ipts. Instead, it creates
new rate-making power, which decides
rates in the first instance, subject to
approval by its presidents. BY differ

WEST VIRGINIA AGAINST WAR.
The Strike AsitatOrs Meeting with
Poor Success.

Cincinnati, o., July 2O.--A special to the
Commercial Tribune from Wheeling w.
Va, says: Changes that have an impor-
tant bearing on the coal strike situation
in West Virginia came to-day. The state,
taken as a whole, Is against the strike for
financial reasons, and all who have struck
have been brought out under the pressure
of organizers and agitators from else
where. Generally they have been shamed
into striking. and their minds change
when the agitators move on to other Sec
tions.
"In the Fairmount region Mr. Debs ad-
mits that he is sorely discouraged sew
enty-six of the Monongah men brought
out yesterday returned this morning. The
Fairmount managers declare that IL the
Watson men, about 1000 in number, can
be kept at work the other mines VIII be
working Thursday as usual.
Mr.. Debs spoke at Riversville tonight
to the Watson men, but he was not so
successful as at Fairmont and no union
was organized. Tomorrow he will speak
at Worthington and Minersville to more
OF the Watson men. II is generally pre-
dicted that he will have no better sue
cess there. The Watsons and
their men are on excellent terms, and
neither side has any grievance. 1t trans
pires to-day that Mr.. Debs has been shad-
owed by two Pinkerton men, and that he
had been threatened with death II he goes
to Kanawha. He win go. however. on
Thursday. gang OF 150 Italians are to
arrive at Fairmont Thursday and viii
try mining. In the Kanawha valley there
is no material change. The success of
the organizers at one point being offset
by resumption at others.
Gov. Atkinson was here to-day. He
thinks the strike viii become general and
hopes the men will win. He says he has not
been consulted about using the military
and that none but the most violent Of out
breaks would call for II.

came out to-day They threaten to march

this will cause trouble.

HERR DEMANDS INDEMNITY.
Bases His Claim ON the Ground That
He Has Been Wronged.

Paris, July 2o.-The Figaro says that a
month or two ago DR.. Cornelius Herr of
Panama canal fame wrote to NJ. Faure.
demanding an indemnity of 1000, 900 francs
from the French government for false ac-
cusations brought against him by French
officials and members of the French par
Lament. In the course Of the letter he
laid stress upon his American citizenship,
and asserted that he expected that his
claim would be energetically supported by
the United States government.
Nearly dozen of the members of the
Panama committee, which has decided to
go to Bournemouth, England, to interro-
gate DR.. Herr, who some time ago prom
ised to make a complete statement of the
Panama canal scandal, left Paris yester-
day for Bournemouth.
The committee this morning received a
letter from DR.. Herr saying that he would
be unable to receive them for several
weeks. The committee thereupon resolved
to continue their inquiry into Herz's con-
duct on the documents in their possession
without considering what interested mo-
tive may have Influenced him to withdraw
his offer to tell all.

NORFOLK AND WESTERN MINERS
Very Little Danger of a General
strike Along the Line.


Elkhorn, w. ", July 20.--The only signs
of any of the miners coming out on the
Norfolk and Western railroad in the i'm
mediate future is at the Switchback col
lieres. Here a little dissatisfaction has
manifested itself, but otherwise the mines
are running to their fullest capacity and
operators and miners are on the best of
terms. OF the 500 to 700 miners in the
Flat Top field, who were out yesterday,
one-fourth of this number returned to work
again this morning. The meetings of agi-
tation last night and to-day availed naught
for their cause, and the indications are
that unless something very extraordinary
develops the agitators will leave the field
in this section tomorrow morning.
The coal shipments north on the Nor
folk and Western railroad have been ex-
ceedingly heavy again to-day, but the ru-
mors that the Ohio strikers might make
an attempt to prevent coal from being
handled by this railroad has caused some
little commotion. Several extra guards
were placed on duty at the Kenova bridge
this evening, and additional watchmen
were put out at other points on the IIe-
nova and Scioto divisions. This has been
decidedly the biggest day In the fields
since the strike began.

him to use his good Offices In the settle
ment of the coal strike, but has not yet

ment of the strike. The cabinet to-day

The only absentees to-day from the

not yet well enough to go out, and secre-
tary Alger, who is In the west. NO ques-
tion OF general interest was discussed.
It has been decided to send in the cur
rency message to congress as soon as the

TARIFF WILL GO THROUGH.
BILLS OPPONENTS IN THE SENATE
POWERLEss.

Adoption of the Conference Report
Likely TO Be Carried Through To-
morrow and Almost "A Certainty
BcfOre thc Close OF the WeeIx-The
Republicans to Vote SOIidIy For
the Report and Senators Jones OF
Nevada and McEnCry of LOuIsIana
to vote with Them.
Washington, July 2O.-The Indications
when the Senate adjourned to-day were
that a vote would be reached upon the
conference report on the tariff bill soma
time during Thursday, or at the latest be-
fore the close OF the week. There may ba
change in the situation which will post-
pone a vote, but 1t is difficult to see what
could cause II.
The opponents of the bill realize that
there is no possibility of preventing the
adoption of the report and their present
purpose is only to secure what advantage
they can by exhibiting what they claim ara
the Inconsistencies of the measure.
1t is true that at one time they had
some hope of being able to secure the re-
eommital of the bill. but, thorough cans
vass reveals no foundation for this hope.
1t develops the fact that the republicans
Will vote solidly for the report and that
they Will be supported by Messrs. Jones of
Nevada and McEnery of Louisiana, and
also, probably, by Messrs. Mantle and
Stewart, silver republicans. They hava
also discovered that Senator Kyle, who is
absent has left strict Instructions that ha
should not be paired.
With the adoption of the report thus as
sured the democrats probably will not att
tempt to prolong the debate beyond tha
arrival Of MIR. Turley, the new senator
from Tennessee. They will continue to
ask for an explanation Of the changes
made by the conference, but these will
not occupy a great deal of time. The gem
eral opinion is that the quorum of the
Senate will disappear very soon after the
disposal Of the tariff bill, but the deter
mination of the supporters of the Harris
Pacific railroad resolution 20 secure
vote upon 1t before final-adjournment,
may delay that consummation for some
days.
