OUR VIRGINIA PORTS AGAIN.

Mr. John r. Wilson, President OF the
Baltimore. Chesapeake and Atlantic Rail-
way in an interview published in the
Baltimore sun. dwells at length upon
what he deems the superior advantages
Of Baltimore over other Southern Atlantic
ports for the products of the Great West
TO be shipped TO Europe. He thinks the
large acquisition Of territory as re-
suit Of the Cuban war. as well as pro-
bable large increase Of the standing army
and navy, will tend TO some considerable
extent to reorganize the conditions of
trade and he urges the merchants of Bal
timore TO put forward earnest efforts TO
secure the increased trade with the West
and Northwest 20 which he contends
that Baltimore is legitmately entitled by
reason of her geographical position. He
harps upon the old chord on which Bal
timore has been so necessarily playing OF
late OF "an adjustment" by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission of the rates
OF freight so that all roads shall be COM
PEELED TO charge uniform rate per ton
for every mile of transportation. He says
that the ports TO the north Of Baltimore
already recognize the justice of this I'D
justment,' and that 1.-THE ports TO the
south OF us should also recognize the
justice of this condition" Here are some
OF the remarks of MIR. Wilson in this in
terview: -. srn4
should the present interstate law be
modified (Which seems probable) il would
offer favorable opportunity for adjust
ing the inland and foreign freight charges,
so that each city upon or accessible TO the
sea coast would secure wha advant-
ages IL might be entitled to as the result
OF its position TO both inland and water
transportation.
