FREE PASSES AND HOTEL RATES
Further Investigation OF These Matters
Indefinitely Postponed.

Indefinitely Postponed,
When the Commissioners met in af-
.ernoon session at 2:30 o'clock, the Sea.
BOARD system and Atlantic Coast Line
were asked whether or not they were
ready to make a report in regard to spc-
cial freight rates to hotel men and
PASSES issued during the years 1897 and
1898.
Judge Leigh II. Watts. attorney for
the Seaboard, read a statement for Vice
President St. John touching special ho-
eel freight rates on the Seaboard Air
Line. acknowledging that soon after he
took charge of the road he found that an
order dated january 10th, 1894, and
promulgated by his successor, Major
Wnder. was in force giving special rates
10 hotels at Southern Pines and other
points. Being satisfied that the privil-
eye was abused, the order was fesclnded
and no special rates are now given or
have been given since on the SeabOafd
4 statement in regard to passes issued
by the SeabOard system during the years
lo37 and 1898 was also presented.
Though in doing so Mr.. st. John sub
mitted that he should not be compelled
10 surrender his records or that they
should be examined until the right of
the Commission to do so be finally pass
ID upon and settled.
"While the Seaboard Air Line sys-
tenn has nothing to conceal in and about
the premises, it insists that the delivery
and examination of the list of passes
would, under the circumstances and
pending the determination of the ques-
ton raised as to the power of the your
Honorable Board to require the produc-
ton of the same, be manifestly unfair,
and place said system at a great disad-
vantage. We would therefore request
that the order requiring the production
Of said lists be suspended until the ques-
tons referred to are determined"
The statement submitted showing the
number of passes used over the system
during 1897 and the miles travelled was

Chairman Caldwell: AT the former

of Mr.. st. John and he emphatically. ms

no such action upon the part OF the

Dr. Abbott-"Does it require rcso-
luton to have witnesses summoned he
fore this Commission"
Mr.. Cadwell-"Only officials Of the
Southern Railway were summoned and
only officials Of the Seahoard and Coast
Line will he examined"
With this Mr.. Parsons resolution
was passed Pearson aud Caldwell vot-
ing for it and Abbott against IL.

done that it has ceased to be molasses.
Some Of it is adulterated in Louisiana,
it Is claimed, mixed again in New York,
and mixed third time by the retailers,
the consequence being that very little
of the original molasses is left by the
time the product reaches the consumer.
This adulteration and mixing have
brought great deal of discredit to
Louisiana molasses, and have undoubt-
eddy deprecated its standing and value
The amount of good open kettle mo-
lasses has decreased very considerably
of late, and this ought to assure 1t O.
better market and a better price; and
so 1t would were not the Louisiana pro-
duct in so many cases treated as a
mere basis for the molasses of COM
merce, one of the elements to be used
with glucose to manufacture "the stuff
SO frequently sold as molasses in the
north, and against which the New York
and other dealers are protesting.
1t would undoubtedly be to the advan-
tage of Louisiana, planters to sell mo-
lasses at good prices, which it would
command If pure, rather than to have
the production extended or increased
by using glucose SO freely. and, conse-
quently, bringing about decline In it's
value.
The law which New York proposes on
this subject, and which other states will
probably also adopt, will not unfavora-
bly, affect the Louisiana planters, but
will, in all probability assure them a
better price for their molasses.-New

GREAT TIME ELS IN MEXICO.

William J. Bryan is again in this
country after tour through Mexico. a
land of sunshine and silver dollars, two
of which equal in value silver dollar
Of this country based on the gold stand
ard. Mr.. Bryan was much pleased with
Mexico, especially with the ''verdure. -
Mexico was also much pleased with Mr..
Bryan, according to the graphic and
eloquent report made by Ex-Governor
Crittenden, who accompanied him. Mr..
Crlttenden thus ''let her co." Mr.. Bry-
ans trip through Mexico was like tri-
umphal entry from beginning to end.
He was accorded a welcome from the
time he entered the country until he left
such as no private citizen of any coun-
try ever received there The only way
I can describe 1t is by saying that the
eight hundred miles from Neuvo Laredo
to the City of Mexico seemed like one
long road, lighted in honor of the oc-
casion, and walled in on either side by
crowds of people, shouting, dancing
and throwing flowers. It was contin-
ual round of dinners, receptions and
ovations. I have never seen anything
like it before, and I never expect to
see anything like it again.
Splendiferous indeed. Perhaps as Mr..
Bryan likes Mexico SO much and Next
co reciprocates with so much heartiness
some arrangement can be made which
will bring the two together permanent
~. Mr.. Bryan is evidently not as popu-
lar in this country as he is in Mexico.

THAT nB1NDnEB EXPEDITION.

The government of this humane and
generous country is going to start a
reindeer expedition for the relief of the
foolish and hungering Klondike miners.
Agents have gone to Lapland after the
reindeer, and if they have good luck,
and If the expedition gets to it's destina-
ton before next summer or before the
hungry miners have starved to death,
some good may be done. But there are
serious difficulties to be overcome. Nam
sen, the Arctic explorer, who may be
supposed to know something about the
matter, does not think well of Secretary
Algers plan to send relief to the Klon-
dixie by means of reindeer caravans.
The difficulty of transporting reindeer
to this country from Lapland is great,
and Dr. Nansen has serious doubts of
the ability of the government to get
them on the ground in any sort of con-
ditien. He suggests that Iceland horses
or ponies would do better, as they could
subsist on hay and provender, and do
the work after they reached Alaska al
most as well as reindeer. Drs Nansen
does not deny the value of reindeer for
purposes of transportation if we had
them in good condition in the region
where they are needed. His views are
as follows: The moss on which the
reindeer subsist is about the only food
they will eat, and they would starve
before they would eat much of any
thing else. They have sometimes been
trained to eat bread, but not very sue
cessfully. While there is an abundance
| of moss in Norway, he thought it would
