From the Atlanta Journal.

The withdrawal from private control of
a large number of convicts opens the way
to the commissioners of many Georgia
counties to begin the much needed and long
neglected work of improving the public
roads. Employed judiciously and syste-
maticaliy in this way, the convicts can be
made to pay far greater revenue in the
long run than has been derived from them
by the old leases and the benefits to the
state in general will be incalculable.

Air Motor Test Unsatisfactory.
rom the Electrical World

The air motor which has recently been
tried on the Manhattan elevated railway In
this city has been sert to the repair yards
for a number of important changes, it
having failed to make anything like the
showing which its advocates claimed 1t
would make. AS is usual under such cir
cumstanCes, the promoters of the COM
pressed-air system claimed a number of
minor mechanical causes for the failure of
their locomotive. but the large and i'm
portant fact remains that, after many
years Of experiment and under the best
conditions for success. the air motor has
always been a failure.

in opposition to the Bell Telephone
company are to be taken in Chicago

contemplated: A national association
Of the 1000 operating telephone ex-
changes of the United States independ-
ent of the Bell company, for mutual
protection and development. Long dis

nection of the various Independent
telephone exchanges of the country.
The establishment of an independent
Long distance service, connecting the

SHORT ON TEA.
iowa Wholesale Grocers Stand to
Lose Big Sums.

Lose Big Sums.
DUBUQUE, To-, May 24-The whole
sale grocerS Of Iowa who have been
caught on the short side of tea have
sent a delegation to Washington to
see what Senator Allison could do for
them. With them have gone two rep
resentatives of the Chicago houses.
Before the tariff of 10 cents a pound
on tea was publicly suggested by the
senate committee, these grocers sold
for future delivery in such quantities
that one Chicago house stands to lose
100000, if compelled to furnish taxed
tea, and Iowa houses will also lose
heavily. The importers have discount
ed the future and have sold their
stocks at liberal advance on former
prices. One Chicago and New York
house is reported to have cleaned up
$250,000, and other importers are sup
posed to have done equally well. The
grocers tried to cover with the result
that the demand for immediate ship
ment raised prices in Japan 712 cents.
Some Of the grocers rather than stand
this decided to countermand their or
ders and take their chances on secur
ing a modification Of the tariff bill.
The delegation sent to Washington
was appointed at a conference in Chi
cago last week, and is headed by F. A.
Hancock, of Dubuque. They will ask
that the tariff bill be amended to pro-
vide for a rebate of the tax on all tea
imported to fill orders taken before
the senate bill was reported.

1t Keeps Getting Hotter All the

Another evidence Of the unpleasantness in
freight rate circles was brought to light
yesterday in the two-sded fight between the
Lake Michigan Car Ferry company and the
Lake Michigan and Lake Superior Transpor-
tation company.
Last week the Car Ferry company an
nounced that it would reduce the rate on
leather, South Chicago to St. Paul. to 18
cents per 100 pounds. The Lake Superior
company met the cut, whereupon the Car
Ferry company offered to carry leather at
is cents and include the cost Of insurance in
that rate Yesterday the Lake Superior COM
pany announced that it would reduce the
rate to 16 cents, which is the lowest notch
reached in many years.
Commodity rates were reported yesterday
as being very unstable between the points

official said yesterday that he did not be-
lieye such condition of affairs had been seen
in the last sixteen years. To use his own
words, business was rotten" Lines which
pretended to be setting up standard Of good
faith and firm rates were doing the most cut
ting even on local rates to Iowa points.
Rates from South Chicago have been nearly
cut in two.
Lake rates from Chicago to st. Paul have
now been reduced over 80 per cent First
class freight is being carried for 80 and IS

DEVILS LAKE, N. D.. May A.--While the
south side of tree claims and clumps OF
trees in this part of the state are well along
in summer vegetation and are In fun lear,
on the north sides of very many OF these
sheltered places there are stu great a iss
and mounds of snow. In many cases these
drifts are six and eight feet deep and melting
very slowly. They were from thirty to forty
feet deep at the close of winter, and have
kept the temperature so low and the ground
in their immediate vicinity so moist with
cold water vegetation has come on very
slowly. The trees on the north side OF these
groves are still hardly showing any signs OF
summer, and 1t is a very easy thing for one
to pass from summer 10 very early in the

present time.
MILLER, S. D., May 24.-Papers of this
county report that in many of the gulches
where the snow piled to immense depths
last winter, there are yet piles of snow sew
eral feet deep. In many places the. gulches
were filled entirely full, and the immense
body of snow which was packed in Is very
slow to melt and it will be some time yet
before it all disappears.
