From this date onward the Railway Age
thinks it is going to be less easy to show
increases in earnings than it has been
during the first half of the year. BY this
time last year the Improvement had fairly
set in, and comparisons henceforward viii
have to be made with weeks and months
of reasonable prosperity. Already, it says,
some indications of this have appeared
in weekly statements, which show a de
crease in gross, and there will be more TO
follow. None the less, business prospects
are still distinctly good
During the first six months of 1898 there
were 80 miles of new track laid in Georgia,
81 miles in Florida, 40 in Alabama and 16
in South Carolina.

A jury at Norwallk, O., has returned a

suit of Frank Schaefer against the New

The case grew out of the great strike of
1894, the plaintiff claiming that the de-
PENDANT blacklisted him, thereby prevent
ing him from obtaining employment with
other roads.

FREIGHT BUREAUS FIGHT.
Decision in the Fertilizer Rate Case
Against Savannah.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day, il an opin-
ion by Commissioner Prouty, announced
its decision in the case of the Savannah
Bureau of Freight and Transportation OF
al. against the Charleston and Savannah
Railway Company ct al.
The case involves the reasonableness of
rates on fertilizer from Savannah, Ca,
TO points in Georgia, Alabama and Flor
ida, and the lawful relation of such rates
to charges from Charleston and other
points 10 like destination. The commits
sion decides:
a. That defendants present differen-
tial of so cents more per ton from Charles
ton than from Savannah to points in Geor-
gia, other than common points, is net un-
reasonable or prejudicial to Savannah.
80 That charging the same rate from
Savannah and Charleston over the all-rail
lines to points in Florida in competition
with water and rail competition from Sa-
vannah and Charleston is not unlawful.
"S That the lower differential as be-
tween Savannah and Charleston on fer
tilizers to points in Alabama reached by
the Alabama Midland Railway than the
differential established as between these
cities on fertilizer to points in Georgia
does not appear justified, and that sutfir
cient difference is not made in rates to
some stations in Florida, and defendants
are advised to adjust such rates in ac-
cordance with the suggestions stated, with
leave to compiainants to apply for an
order if such adjustment is not made.
"Higher rates charged by defendants on
fertilizers from Charleston or Savannah
10 Intermediate points between those
cities than they charge over the entire
distance between Charleston and Savan-
nah are justified by the, existence of water
competition.
"The circumstances and conditions gov
erning the transportation of fertilizer
from Charleston to Valdosta and various
other stations are rendered substantially
dissmilar from those applying in the
transportation of fertilizer from Charles
ton over the same line to shorter distance
localities by railway competition at VAL
dosta and said other stations, which con-
trolls and affects the rate, and higher
charges on fertilizer to such shorter dis
lance points are not IN violation of the
fourth section as interpreted by the
United States Supreme Court in Interstate
commission VS.. Alabama Midland Railway
COmDany.' -

nent business men, find difficulty in hous-
ing the sufferers. One hundred and fifty

INDIANS NoT IN WAR PAINT.
Gen. Brooks Reports That There Is
No Danger of an Uprising.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Gen. Brooks, at
Chicago has telegraphed the war depart
ment that his inquiries directed to the
commanding officer at Fort Reno, l. T.,
bring the response that there is no dam
ger of an Indian uprising. The railread
authorities, Gen. Brooks says, make me
same report Of the situation.
Gov. Barnes Of Oklahoma has reported
to Secretary Bliss that the Indian mas
sacre story was wholly false. The county
authorities reported that there was no
excitement and no danger threatened over
the burning of the two men. The Gov.
ernor says he has just learned that the
tragedy by the mob took place In Ol1laho-
ma. Instructions had been given the ter
ritorial officials to do everything IN their
power to prevent further trouble and ev-
cry effort would be made to arrest the
parties composing the mob
The Governor added that no troops were
at the scene Of the reported trouble and
none were needed.
T., wires as follows: THE reports in the
papers that the Seminoies are on the war
path are absolutely false. Clerk Wisdom
has just returned from Wewoka and
states that all is quiet. There Is no prob
able uprising OF the Indians. Gov. Barnes
of Oklahoma has offered 81 600 reward for
the conviction Of the members of the mob
that burned the Indians II Is said sew
eral of the guilty parties will soon be iden-
titled and arraigned. The gominoles are
behaving nobly and peaceablv under try-
Ing circumstances@

Coming to Washington.

Coming to Washington.
Honolulu. Jan. 6, via San Francisco,
Jan. 1s.-sanford B. Dole leaves for
Washington by the steamship Peru on
the Sth inst.
The chief executive Of this country jour-
news to the capital of the United States
for the purpose Of comforting with the ad-
ministraiion there on the subject of the
relations of these islands to the greater
republic. The departure of Mr.. Dole was
decided upon yesterday at a special meet
ing of the council of state. After the
meeting a member of the council of state
said: 1--WE decided by unanimous vote
maj if was wise for Mr.. Dole to proceed
10 Washington at This time and meet with
President Mckinley and his immediate
advisers, and perhaps with some of the
senators and foremost advocates OF an
nexation. at q time when the treaty is
before Congress and when the citizens of
the great republic are interested In the
annexation question.
"We believe that this policy Is correct
and that the move will result In material
gain for our cause"
j. O. Carter, great friend OF the ex-
Queen, will leave to-day for Washington
TO work against the annexation treaty.
The antEsannexationists here expect a
good deal of Mr.. Carter. He will un-
doubtedly prove the worst enemy of the
treaty sent from Hawaii.

"DEATH TO AUTONOMY"
Crowd Again Gathers in Front of a
Newspaper Office at Havana.

Crowd Again Gathers in Front of a
Newspaper Office at Havana.
Havana, Jan. 1S.-About noon to-day a
crowd gathered in front of the offices of
FL Diario de Marina shouting Death to
autonomy"
Gen. Arolas authorized the regular
troops to restore order and to compel the
separation of the crowd, who kept up a
continuous shouting on the streets near
Central Park. These people accuse Ell
Diario de la Marina of being responsible
for all the attacks being made on army
officers and Spanish officers in the navy.
They say also that the editors of Ell
Reconcentrado received their cue from El
Diario de la Marina.
All classes commend the authorities for
avoiding unnecessary force or violence in
the use of the soldiery or police.
Last night at the palace Gen. Blanco
and the autonomist cabinet were Joined
by the civil governor of Havana, the col
oneIs and the chief of volunteers Marquis
Epezteguia, the leader of the Spanish
Conservative party, and other prominent
politicians. Senor Congosto, secretary
general, remained at his office until l
o'clock this afternoon.
This afternoon several shots were heard
back of the Albizu theater. 1t is said
they were intended to raise an alarm.
Shortly after midnight last night the
soldiers were withdrawn from the streets
and went to their barracks.

yesterday with 800 troops to engage the
enemy
AS several of the Spanish columns have
burned barns and cane fields and haze
shot prisoners of war, including sick men,

hibiting the destruction of all kinds OF

prisoners who are sick or wounded.
The Captain General has also issued de-
crees supplying the planters and farmers
for their defense with rifles which ,be-
longed to the injured Spanish soldiers sent
back to Spain. Many of these have been
sent to Santiago de Cuba.
