CAR FERRY FIGHT.
No Immediate Settlement Seems
Possible just Now.

The rate war between the Chicago
st. Paul lines on one side, and the
Lake Michigan Car Ferry company and
the Lake Superior Transportation COM
pany on the other, showed no new de-
velopmemts yesterday. In reality, it
IFS a. three-cornered war. Where it will
end is an open question. 1t is evident
ly to be a reproduction of the war which
wrought about such a disastrous reduc-
ton in revenues last year.
The Lake Michigan Car Ferry COM
pany is responsible for the trouble. The
company started UP in business last
year from South Chicago, and after it
got into running order, it demanded a
5-cent differential under the all rail
rate The Lake Michigan and Lake
Superior Transportation company had
always been granted a differential Of
5-cents for the reason that cargoes from
South Chicago were sent broken Dulk
to St Paul and Minneapolis. But the
claim of the Car Ferry company was re-
fused as loaded cars were transferred
by boat without breaking bulk. Last
year the war was carried to the bitter
end and it was only ended when all par
ties agreed to compromise and give the
Car Ferry company 21a cents differen-
tial. The company demands this year
the full differential of 5 cents. The
rail lines will not agree to 1t. The
Lake Superior Steamboat company says
it is entitled to a rate Of cents under
the ferry company, and so the thing
goes down the hill like a Jacobs lad
der. The rail lines have not yet taken
any serious part in the war. ALI rail
rates from central traffic territory are
on a basis Of 60 cents, so far as is
known. Car ferry rates are 35 cents,
and Lake Superior Transportation COM
pany rates are 80 cents.

An approval was allowed to the Unit
ed States circuit court of appeals.
When the circuit court opened yes
terday forenoon, all the eminent coun-
sci were on hand to hear and partici-
pate in the closing arguments.
John 8. Coombs, representing the
Credits Communication company, began
the closing argument on behalf of the
petitioner Mr.. Coombs maintained
that there was no authority contained
In any acts of congress for the con-
templated foreclosure sale.
In the course Of his argument, Mr..
Coombs took occasion to criticise ex-
President Cleveland's financial policy.
This was said in reply to Gov. Hoad-
jey's tribute to the eX-president, whom
he believed that history would event.
ually write down as one of the greatest
of presidents. Gov. Hoadley COM
pared Cleveland to Lincoln, and char
acterized him as a man too great to
do aught that was not founded in
right and justice.
Mr. Coombs differed with Gov. Hoad-
ley in these views. Mr.. Coonbs
thought that Cleveland had always
been controlled by the money power,
and that history would never write
him down as great president or as
a great man.

end was dais upon which the royal
party took their places and from which
the Prince of Wales. in the name Of
the queen, declared the tunnel open to
public traffic.
The state triumpetens blew a blast,
a royal salute was fired by the honor
able artillery company, and the bishop
of London, the Right Rev. Mandell
Creighton, pronounced the benediction.
The Prince of Wales was then pre-
scented with a gold medal specially
struck for the occasion by the bridges
committee Of the London county coun-
ell. The new tunnel is generally re-
garded as triumph Of engineering

MILLIONAIRE SMUGGLER.


St. Louis Merchant Arrested by Gus

NEW YORK, May 22.-Richard M.
Scruggs, a ST. Louis millionaire, and
E. G. Langhorn, of the same city, wers
arrested by custom house inspectors
as they stepped off the steamer ST.
Paul on its arrival from Southampton
today. Warning had evidently been
telegraphed when they left Southamp-
ton. The charge is smuggling. When
the inspectors searched Langhorn they
found a belt containing diamonds, jew
elry and watches. Similar articles were
found in Mr.. Scruggs pockets. Valua-
hle lace was also captured. The cap
tured stuff is worth $4,000. Mr.. Scruggs
smiled as he handed his declaration to
the inspector.
.tNo it is not all right" said the Of

Mr.. Scruggs threatened and then
pleaded. but the search was made. The
two men waived examination before
Commissioner Shields, and were held
in $4,000 bail. It was learned that
Scruggs and Langhorn went to Eng
land to sell the patent on calculating
machine, and got 100000 for it.
Scruggs' explanation is that he bought
the jewelry for the teachers of the St.
Louis Sunday school union, Of which
he is the president, and that he was
told in England that they were not
d11tiable. Mr. Langhorn is his secreta-
ry. Scrlggs says that it was Langhorr

LEO LIKES AMERICA.
He Proves 1t by an Important Ecc1e-
siastical Ruling.

He Proves Ii ny 6n important Eccie.
siastical Ruling.
CHICAGO, Mayk22.-Infornati on was
obtained today that Rome has just
transmitted to the Catholic church in
the United States the most significant
ruling of recent years, bearing on &C.
clestastical matters in America. The de-
cision, which has reference to parishes
made up of foreigners, is LITERALLY as
follows:
Children born in America OF foreign par
ents. whose native language is not the Eng
lish, are not obliged when of age to become
members of heiparish to which their par
ents belong but they have a right to Join
q parish in which theslanguage Of the country
that is. English-is used.
Catholics not born TN America, but know.
ing the English Language, have the right OF
becoming members of the parish In which
English is in use, and they cannot be COM
pelled to submit themselves to the jurisdic-
ton of the rector Of a church built for peo-
ple who continue to speak the language of a
foreign country.
The evident purpose. of Rome is to
make English the language Of the
American church as speedily as possible,
and thus to encourage the development
of a spirit Of more perfect union among
the members Of the Catholic faith.
Parishes in which a foreign language
is used are tolerated as temporary
institutions. which will disappear as
soon as the conditions making their
erection expedient will have passed
away. The present ruling Is perfectly

BLEEDING PILES.

And all other forms of this common

Thousands. Of men and women are
afflicted with some sort Of piles, with
out either knowing the exact nature
Of the trouble, or knowing it, are care
less enough to allow it to run without
taking the simple means offered for a
radical cure.
The failure Of salves and ointments
to permanently cure piles has led many
to believe the only cure to be surgical
operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life and moreover not often entirely
successful, and at this time are no
longer used by the best physicians or
recommended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure
any case Of piles, whether blind, bleed
ing or protruding, is to use the Pyra-
mid Pile cure, composed of healing
vegetable oils, and absolutely free
following letter from a Pittsburg gen.
tleman. a severe sufferer from bleed
ing piles, gives some idea Of the
prompt, effectual character of this pile
cure. He writes:
I take pleasure writing these few
lines to let you know that I did not
sleep for three months except for q
SIlOTI tlIue edCn night, because OF a
bad case of bleeding piles Twas down
in bed and the doctors did me no good,
A good brother told me Of the Pyramid
Pile Cure and bought from my drug
gist three fifty cents boxes. They
cured me and wifi soon be able to
go to my work again.

Pittsburg, Pa
The Pyramid Pile Cure is, not only
the safest and surest remedy for piles,
but is the best known and most popu-
lar. Every physician and druggist In
the country knows It and what 1t will
do.
Send for little book on cause and
cure Of piles, describing all forms Of
piles and the proper treatment.
The Pyramid can be found at all
drug stores at 80 cents per package.

"How long is 1t going to take to get through
with this case?" asked the client, who was
under suspicion of housebreaking.

fully, ''it'll take me about two weeks to get
through with 1t, but I'm afraid it's going to
take you about four years. "-Washington

NEBRASKA RATE CASE.
Decision Clipped OFF, as Favorable
to the Roads.

CHICAGO, May 22.-The POSTS
Washington special says: Monday the
supreme court will probably hand down
a decision in the famous Nebraska
Maximum Freight Rate case, involving
the right of states to fix arbitrary
transportation rates for railroads with
in their borders. AS in other important
cases in the supreme court, advance
information as to the time Of the de-
cision and Of it's tenor has reached in
terested parties. In this instance the
decision is clipped off, as being favor
able to the railroads, and holds that
the state, in the enactment of this kind
of legislation, is encroaching upon the
province of congress in which is vested
the sole right of control of interstate
commerce. The decision as foreshad-
owed, while hailed as a victory for the
roads, is thought to go farther than
the transportation interests like, and
more sweeping than in any previous
announcement Of the supreme court,
establishing the power of congress to
regulate railroads.
