JUDGE WHITES DECISION.

TYNCUBIrRG. VA. Aug. Especial
Judge stafford G.. Whittle, of the circuit

decision I'm the suit Of the Oommerclai

far as they would go, did not hquldale
tbe entire amount OF the assignors IN
debtedness TO the bank The fund under
the deed OF trust was insufficient 10 pay
the three aforementioned preferred
debts. and the question that Judge WHIT

the trust fund for the whole amount OF
only for the balance OF the debt remain
ing after the proceeds OF the sale OF the
bank stock had been applied as a credit
Judge White decidede that the bank 5
debt could be proved against both iuhus

been paid i'm it's entirety. This ruling on
Judge whites is contrary 70 thal

SENATOR JONES TALKS.
He Gives His Views on the Foreign
Policy of the Government.

s'r. LOUIS. MO. Aug. Senator
James X Jones. of Arkansas, chairman
OF the National Democratic Committee
who was in the city comforting with
prominent members Of his party had this
to say concerning our foreign policy be-
fore he left for New York:
"The United States is pledged 10 the
world that an independent and stable
government shall be established in Cuba.
When j voted for that resolution moth
INK was said about Imperialism. This
country cannot afford 10 90 back on its
pledge. These are my private views,
which / believe are those Of the Demo-
cratic party.
81 90 not know what conditions may
arise respecting Cuba, but ! have never
known Spansh-American community
CAPABLE of government. and IL is pos
sible that since we set out to free Cuba,
from Spanish domination. we may be
compelled 10 pursue q course when Will
eventuate in the control Of the island.
While ! am not in favor Of the acQuisi-
ton Of territory in the tropics, this
course would be less Objectionable than
any other.
cuba is adjacent to the United States
as Is Porto Rico. but the thought OF an
nexing the Philippines is preposterous
and undemocratic. and not in accordance
with the principles handed down from
the DAYS of Thomas jefferson.
Owe began this war to secure the indie
pendence of cuba, and nothing more.
When we have accomplished that end
and Spain has UNIDENTIFIED us for the enor-
nous war expense our mission will be
done"

that after sixty days any camp Is likely

advantage OF a regiment or company OF

COMPANY PAYS IN GEORGIA,
The Railroad Commission Decides that
Express Companies Pay the Tax

ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 2.-The patrons
Of the Southern Express Company in
Georgia will not in the future be required
10 pay for the revenue stamps affixed TO
the bills OF lading issued by the COM
pany. The senders of messages over the
Western Union Telegraph Company will
continue to pay the one-cent war tax.
The Georgia Railroad Commission de-
cided the two cases in reference TO the
express and telegraph company to-day.
The decision was against the former, but
favorable to the latter. Able and elabor-
ate opinions were rendered in each case
by Judge Spencer r. Atkinson on behalf
Of the commission.
1t was held that the express company
I'm issuing a bill of lading was required
to put stamp upon 1t in order to make
IL legal and that the company had no
right to exact the cost OF the stamp from
the shipper The commission takes the
position that by requiring the one-cent
tax TO be paid by the shipper the ex-
press company is in principle as much
guilty Of an overcharge as IL it eXacted
800 in each case.
In the case Of the Western Union, the
commission held that the company was
not required TO receive a message until
IT was stamped II does not become
legal message until the sender puts the
