In their bill OF complaint the companies
contended that they were losing money IN

wcuid be connScatory. The commission
claims that the roads are operating at a
profit in South Dakota The discrepancy
arises over a disagreement between the
commission and companies In the division
OF profits. The commission claims that not
enough credit is given 10 South Dakota
for through business originating ia this
state. The Chicago Milwaukee q ST. Paul
claims to have lost $4.poI. ESQ IN South

RUIN RULES IN IRELAND.
Potato, Hay and oat Crops Destroy

NEW YORK, Sept. s.--A dispatch from
London says: A panic is spreading
throughout Ireland over the terrible pros
rect OF the apparently complete failure OF
the harvest. Reports from 10 parish
priests from counties Clare. Cork Kerry.
Limerick. Tlpperary, Antrim. Armagh,
Cayan, Derry. Donegal. Down, FeFmanagh.
Monaghan aud Tyrone all tell the same
piteous story OF ruined crops, impending
restitution and famine.
Blight has everywhere. in whole or main
~, destroyed potatoes whila oats, which
is the next most essential crop TO an Irish
farmer, have been battered down by In
cesFant rains and practically destroyed.
in Connemara the crops OF hay. cats and
potatoes are virtually ruined and IL is
full days work for a man to dig one meal
OF potatoes for his family and then they
are scarcely lit TO eat. The oats on the
golden VEIN" in County Cork, are
scarcely ct TO market. In Westmsath In
