CHARGES FOR EXPRESS
COURT HEARS COMPLAINT OF SOUTH
ERN INDIANA COMPANY.
L. S. Company Must Accept COnsign-
ments, but VIII Not Pay
Fees in Advance.

Judge Baker in the Federal Court. yes
| terday. dismissed the injunction proceedings
brought by the Southern Indiana Express
Company against the United States Express
Company and sustained the demurrer of the
defendant to the bill of complaint. The
case originated few weeks ago the line
of road known as the Southern Indiana
Railroad, which is a part of the Mackey
system, extending from Elnora, in Daviess
county, to Westport, in Decatur county, and
connecting the north-and- lines of the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois with the Michi-
gan division of the Big Four railroad.
Until July the United States Express
Company had been operating over the road,
but as the contract expired with this date,
the express company refused to make a new
one. the business done on the road having
been unsatisfactory. The contract was then
offered to the Adams and American express
companies at different times. and each one
declined it. The railroad company then or
gained the Southern Indiana Express Com
pany and turned over the business picked
up along the line to the United States
and American companies at either terminal.
The United States Company, however, re-
fused to take the business subject to the ar
rangements desired to be put in force by the
new express company, and the latter COM
pany resorted to the courts TO compel it to
do An injunction was asked to prohibit
the United States company from refusing
to accept the business. The latter COM
pany, however, entered a demurrer, setting
forth in effect that the company was will
ing to take the business, but could not grant
any greater concessions to the plaintiff
company than are commonly extended to
all express companies in their dealings
with one another. In the demurrer, 1t is
said the Southern Indiana company de-
manded that the United States company adj
vance all charges due the Southern Indiana
company on the delivery of the business at
the terminal points. This the United States
company refused to do. as the practice is
contrary to the common rules of all express
companies. The decision in effect holds that
while the United States company must ac-
cept the business from the Southern Indiana
company. it cannot be compelled to advance
charges on shipments for which 1t has not
collected the tariff from the receiving par

Action of Directors of the Electrolyt-

BOSTON, Aug. 4-There was a lively
meeting between the directors and stock
holders of the Electroytic Marine Salts
Company at Young's Hotel to-day For
nearly three hours the condition of the

Ryan and the other directors gave the

1t was learned that among other things it

outstanding liabilities and to employ addi-

cents on the dollar would be about all the
stockholders could expect. President Ryan

To reduce it to the concrete, the question

ing the power of Spain in ma amer which
adds one more to the many laurels of the

now, has divided the laurels with Britain
upon the sea. The Philippines have about
seven and a half millions of people, COM
posed of races bitterly hostile to one am
other, alien races, ignorant OF our lam
guage and institutions. Americans cannot
be grown there. Tine islands have been ex-
plotted for the benefit of Spain, against
whom they have twice rebelle6. like the
Cubans, but even Spain has received little
pecuniary benefit from them. The estimated
revenue of the Philippines in 1E94-1S95 was
co. rs $50, the expenditure being E2,656, 026.
leaving a net result of bout $4,000 The
United States could obtain even this trif1iug
sum from the inhabitants only by oppress-
ing them as Spain has done. But, If we take
the Philippines, we snail be forced to gov
ern them as generously as Britain governs
her dependencies, which means that they
will yield us nothing. and probably be
source of annual expense. Certainly, they
will be grevous drain upon revenue IL we
consider the enormous army and navy
which we shall be forced TO InaiTtaiTl upon
