LONG AND SHORT HALLS.
Violation of the Clause by South
ern Road.

The interstate commerce commission, in
an opinion by Commissioner Clements,
has announced its decision in the case
of Fuller E. Galloway Of La Grange, Ca
against the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road Company, Western Railway of Ala
bama and Atlanta and West Point Rail-
road Company.
The case involved the reasonableness of
freight rates from. New Orleans to Atlanta
Fairburn, Palmetto, Newman and Hogans-
vile. The commission decides that the
rates from New Orleans to La Grange are
unreasonable in themselves, and relative
ly, compared with the rates to Atlanta
and other places mentioned. The rates
from New Orleans are higher for the short
er distance to La Grange than for the
longer distance over the same line to Ho-
evansville. Newman, Palmetto and Fairburn,
all local points the atlanta and West
Point road, and such higher rates are
also held 10 be in violation of the long and
short haul clause. The rates from New
Orleans to La Grange are made by COM
bring the through rate TO Atlanta with
the local rate back from Atlanta to La
Grange.
The commission calls attention to the
decision OF Judges Pardee and Speer in
the case of the Augusta Southern rail-
road that no fair or equitable construc-
ton will justify the exacton of local rates
for freight is not local. and says that
was a case of discrimination between rail-
way lines, while this is one of unreasona-
BILE rates and discrimination against one
city in favor of another"

THE LEXINGTON LINE HORSES.
Protest by the Humane Society
Against Their Condition.

The Washington Humane Society has
taken hand N the matter of the Eek
irgton end Soldiers Home Railway Com
pany. In communication to the Senate
committee on the District of Columbia, A.
S. Pratt. president Of the society, says:
The Humane Society of Washington
desires respectfully to add its voice to
the representation of other associations
that have called your attention to the pres
ent state Of the lexington street railway
we oeSire to represent that the con-
oltion OF the horses employed on that road
Is so very bad as TO constitute most Sc
riouS reDroach to our city. That our So
ciety has long labored in vain under the
laws regulating our work, to bring about
an improvement of this state of things.
mat we have kept our agents at work up
on the road, who have frequently arrested
Its employees and removed horses unfit fol-
work That where fines are imposed they
lave been willingly paid as an insignificant
part OF the expenses of the road, and nc
change OF policy has resulted.
we desire to represent that the stock
is and has long been SO worn out that
the horses are unfit for their work. They
have often given out completely midway in
trip and have to be removed, and when
able to get through. it is apt to be only
by dint of constant whipping that the
trip Is accom- pished in the required time
The drivers often have no choice but
to either lose their place or to force ex-
hausted animals to perform work for
which they are unfit. Not only our So
ciety. but the people generally who are
obliged TO ride on that line are deeply i'm
pressed with the intolerable condition OF
things, and the outcry is general against
it.
Rapid transit has long been promised
on that line and fulfillment of that promise
long evaded.
we pray your honorable body that il
there Is any means within your preroga-
tive by which this abuse can be ended it
may be done, and that II possible, the
lexington Street Railway Company may
be forced. either to Immediately put in q
method of rapid transit or to add irnmedi-
ately to their stock a sufficient number
OF strong horses and to cause them tc
be so treated and rested as to recover
their strength. All of which is respectful
ly submitted, by order of the executive
committee. Amelia Stowell, secretary
and A S. Pratt president"

Strong London Cables Started Realiz-
ing in New York.
DEPRESSION Was ONLY TEMPORARY
Sugar, However, Did Not Recover,
Owing to Hawaiian Treaty.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star
NEW YORK. January Il-Higher prices
In the London market were taken advan-
tage of this morning for purposes Of real
izing. This strength Indicated by the In
itiaI sales was consequently displaced, for
a time, by an appearance of heavness.
Recessions in every instance. save sugar.
were fractional and void of all significance
beyond the desire to substitute cash bal
al ces for paper ones. This period of sell
ing was extremely brief, however, save
good buying coming in at the close of the
first hour.
An increase of 100000 in St PauTs earn
ings for the first week of the new year
revived confidence in the prosperity of the
western roads. Burlington and the entire
neghboring group profited by this show
ing and sold well up to record prices
Northern Pacific issues were again liber-
ally bought by houses closely identified
with the management.
The anticipated extension Of traffic to
the gold regions this spring is being used
confidently by the believers in higher prices
for these shares. The preferred stock was
especially IN demand. the purchasers being
large and apparently without price limit.
The ira ction stocks were strong under
buying, less manipulative than formerly.
although the movement was noticeably
laCKlnk IN strictly natural features.
An interview declaring an intention TO
equip Manhattan with modern electrical
motive power was used TO good purpose
in advancing the price Of those shares.
The surface roads shared In the improve
ment, the harmony between the several
arrangements aud the new city govern
ment insuring valuable privileges later on.
Sugar sold down something more than 1
per cent under profit taking and the pros
pect of the passage of the Hawaiian treaty.
The rival company, said to he helped by
such action. is not causing apprehension
outside Of speculative circles, however, and
thorough covering Of the field 10 relied
upon to retain its proyerbial advantages.
Taken as whole, today's market reflect
ed a steady undertone, but lacked the
breadth necessary to sustained improve
ment There is some indication OF disap-
pCintment in certain circles because of the
delay In attracting an outside demand.
The street is waiting for the public and
is holding prices firmly because OF the ira
dition that legitimate purchasers are more
likely to materialize during an advance
than after decline. The experiences and
mistakes of the last few years have de-
veloped a spirit of caution as well as wis
dom, and there are now shrewd judges
of values outside of Wall street as In II.
1t is not improbable therefore that the
demand will be encountered on weak spots
and not on strong ones. Unless 1t comes
soon there are reasons for doubling the
markets ability 10 remain firm under the
manipulation Of only a few specialties.

An Obstruction.

Replying to a request from Mr.. j. b.
Chamberlain for a permit to erect on the
curb in front of his place Of business a
rack for bicycles, Commissioner Wight has
informed Mr.. Chamberlain that he is I'M
able to authorize the granting of the de-
sired permit. Mr.. Wight explains that to
permit bicycle racks on the curb lines of
the streets would not only interfere with
people desiring to cross the streets, but
also with those who have to leave con-
veyances TO reach the pavements. Also
with those who have to take up or I'M
load articles from the curb. The request
had previously been denied by the police
authorities for the reasons stated by Com
missioner Wight.

THE LODE VEIN DISCOVERED.
Origin of klOndike Plncers Quartz
Vein Eighteen Inches Wide.

SEATTLE Wash, January 11.-W. J.
Jones of Port Townsend, Wash, who ar
rived from Alaska on the steamer City of
Topeka yesterday, brings news of the dis
covery of what Is supposed to be tie moth
er lode and quartz origin of the piacers of

at about thirty feet below the surface and
under the muck and alluvial deposit. The
ledge is about eighteen inches wide and
runs Uniform. 1t is generously sprinkled
with free gold. Mr.. Jones brings down
samples of the ore and every one who has
them says the rock is precisely the

Scarcity of Money in India.

London dispatch says: So great is the
urgency for money in India, the council is
considering plans to increase the supply Of
currency. In order to facilitate the opera
ton of issuing silver coin against gold de-
posts at the rate Of 10 pence per rupee,
and to save time and expense involved in
the remittance Of igold to India, it is said
the council Will receive, on behalf of the
Indian banks DR. merchants in London, gold
for deposit in the Bank of England against
which orders or transfers will enable silver
coin to be drawn from the Indian currency
departments.
A small charge beyond the rate of 16
pence will be made to cover the cost of the
transaction. 1t is hoped that the scheme,
even IL not greatly availed Of, viii relieve
the tightness and avoid gold shipments to
India.

CAUSED UNEAsINESs,
Friends Were Gefting Anxious About
Judge Kim ball.

The delay on part Of the President in
sending Judge Kimbalrs name to the Sem
ate caused considerable uneasiness to the
judges friends this morning In addi-
ton to this. rumor had 1t that Mr.. Hart
had been selected for the place although
the latter was reported to have said he
could not accept the position. The failure
Of the law to provide for the holding over
OF the judge resulted in but one Judge on
the bench today. Fortunately. however.
the days work was not a heavy one. and
the business Of both branches of the court
was finished shortly after noon.
When the name of Judge Kimball had
not been sent to the Senate yesterday It
was feared the delay meant danger, and
all morning there were anxious injuries
for news from the White House. Finally
announcement of the appointment was
made, and 1t was a great relief to the
clerks and bailiffs, who had feared a clean
sweep should an outsider get the place.
AS soon as 1T became known that Judge
kimoalrs name had been sent in some of
his legal friends started for the Senate to
hasten action upon the nomination IL pos
sibie. for until he is confirmed he cannot
hold court, and this may mean a serious
drawback to scores of persons who are I'M
fortunate enough to get arrested.
While it is thought that there will be no
wholesale changes in the court attaches, 81
is stated that Judge Scott may want a d.
VISION OF the places FOR his friends. and
that some of the incumbents may have to
step down and out 1t was thought that
when Judge Scott was appointed he would
insist on some changes. but as he was not
confirmed until yesterday, it is regarded
as not surprising that he waited, IL he
really intends to make any.
Judge kimbalrs denomination gives gen.
eral satisfaction to members of the bar
Many OF them supported him in his candi-
dacy and went to the President in his be-
nalf. This Is also true OF other citizens,
among them g. number of church people
and ministers.
Among the latter the denomination is
gladly welcomed.

Resent Furnishing of Aid to Cubans
by United States.

MADRID, January ia dispatch to the
Impartial from Havana says the sending
of supplies from the United States to aid
the INDECENT population of Cuba has
aroused deep animosity among the Span
iards, who, it is added, are incensed at the
pretext thus given to the American con-
suls and the Yankee element to interfere in
Cuban affairs.
1t is alleged that the funds will be used
TO widen the breach between the Cuban
peasantry and the Spanards. 1t is further
asserted that the American newspaper cor
respondents have been instructed to ex-
aggerate the sufferingS of the peasantry
in order TO again arouse public feeling in
the United States, so to provide Wash
ington with an excuse to intervene.
