The extraordinary record of the ma
Wy in the war is attributed by think
ing men to the influence Of the naval
college at Newport, where officers are
educated in the science of war, and
to the several training schools for the
men behind the guns, says VIM. f..
Curtis. The old shellbacks still be-
lieve that the only place to educate
a sailor is before the mast, but the
days OF sailing vessels are over, and
a man-of-wars-thaaAA now is a machin-
list rather than a>seaSnan' 1t is neces-
sary that be should know all about a
ship, Of cdlrae hut that must not be
the limit OF ny knowledge. He must
understand mechanics, electricity and
engineering, and to be fit to fill his
station must enter the service as an
apprentice and spend two or three
years on probation-a learn pidgin, "
as the Chinese say. The war college
has been an experiment and has been
compelled to endure the sneers and
jeers of old-fashioned naval officers,
who despise innovations and hold that
seamen cannot be educated from
books. They have been particularly
severe In their satire concerning the
games of strategy that have been play
ed at the college with lead ships and
tin soldiers on table, and usually al
Jude to the training ships as kinder
gartens." But thinking men like
Sampson, Taylor, Philip, Sicard, Ma
han, Crowninshield and others feel
that the strategic ability as well as the
gun practice shown during the late
contest was largely due to the train
ing in the science of Workmanship
and strategy which was obtained at
the war college.

NOT WHOLLY 1CtINsT s4vANN.u
w. w. Gordon, Jr., ON the Interstate
Commerce. Decision


Commerce Decision.
With regard to the decision published
yesterday, concerning fertilizer rates,
made by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, Mr.. w W. Gordon, Jr, the attor-
ney who represented the Savannah Freight
Bureau, says:
"A close examination of the decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
the fertilizer case, as outlined in the Morn
ing News, discloses the fact that Ii is not
wholly against Savannah.
1t viii be remembered that, after the
Freight Bureau filed its complaint, The
railroads established a differential of 30
cents at Georgia and Florida points. and
a differential of 20 cents at Alabama points
in favor of Savannah.
"A differential in each of these instances
had been commended for by the Freight Blu
reau, and the decision supports their con-
tentions to this extent In paragraph one
they say that this differentiaI of 50 cents is
not unreasonable, and in paragraph three
they declare that the differential to the
points In Alabama is too low
The decision says that the rates TO GER
tain points in Florida are low on account
OF water and rail competition; and that
the rates to intermediate points between
Charleston and Savannah are justified by
the water competition.
After the case was heard, the Supreme
Court of the United States, in what Is
known as the Troy case, decided that the
competition of railroads with other rail-
road subject to the jurisdiction of the
commission would justify the non-observ-
ance of the long and short haul section of
the interstate commerce act.
This decision at a blow overthrow the
decisions of the commission from its ORR
IL to hn 11fn vxtl,1 l,..,
was promulgated.
There was no question as to such COM
petition existing in the territory between
Charleston and Valdosta, for it was
shown that, contrary to the natural order
of things, the longer line from Charleston
actually hauled 80 per cent. of the ferti-
lizer business.
The commission, therefore, decided not
that they approved of such rates or that
they were reasona bic, but that they were
not unlawful, as interpreted by the Su-
preme Court in the Troy case.
What was their real opinion on the
rates can be inferred from their using this
case out of the thirty-four complaints filed
with them during the year, as their lead
ing case in their report to Congress, De-
cember, 1897, when they asked for legisla-
ton to give them additional powers ade-
quate to cope with the evil.
THAT the complaint of the Freight Blu
reau was justified, and that 1t was sue
cessful in many respects, save where the
Supreme Court made a decision in its IA
Vor impossible, can be seen by a glance
at the statement published to the effect
that the rates to Alabama points and to
certain Florida points are not reasonable,
and if the railroads do not make them rea-
sonable, that leave is given to the Freight
Bureau to apply to the courts for an order
compelling the railroads to readjust their
rates in accordance with the views of
the Interstate Commerce Commission"

HIS SEARCH FEUITLESS so FAR.

Lawyer Risdon About Through
Looking for Fred Robinson Here.
A close search of the records of the
health officer of the city by Mr. j. j. Ris-
don, the Chicago lawyer who is here look
ing for trace of Frederick ". Robinson,
disclosed nothing that gave him any hope
of finding the man. Mr.. Risdon found,
he said, that the records have been well
kept, and he believes that If Robinson had
died while here he would have found the
death recorded.
Mr. Risdon also visited the Offices of the
foreign consuls in the hope of finding in
their records notice of Robinson having
sailed aboard foreign vessel. This search
was also fruitless. He will continue to
look about among all the remaining rec
ords of the time Robinson is supposed to
have last been here. Everything posi-
BILE is to be done in the search for the heir
to a million.
Nothing was heard from the lawyer of
the Georgia town who claimed in a tele-
gram that he had the right man and want
ed to know how much the thing would be
worth in cash to him. 1t is probable that
he was stumped by the reque ST of the Chi
cago attorney that he make known to him
the name for which the middle initial of
the lost Robinson stands. Mr.. Risdon
scarcely expects to hear anything more
from this source.

LOUD BEFORE THE CITY COURT.
His Case Continued Until Next Mon
day.


There were no developments in the case
of Charles D. Loud yesterday, with the
exception that he was taken before Judge
Norwood for a hearing on the charge of
cheating and swindling. preferred by Mr..
Charles +. Graham. On account of So
licitor General Osborne's inability for lack
of time, TO look into the case, it was con-
tinued until Monday. and Loud was re-
manded to jail.
Waring Nathans, who watched Loud
three days at the Screven House, appear
ed before Justice Wickham and took out
an attachment against LOud5s big fur
coat, Vaiise and other belongings left at
the hotel for the purpose of satisfying a
claim OF SO for services as guard.
The papers were turned over to officer
k1ley TO serve, but on calling at the hotel
the officer found that Mr. Dub claimed he
had boarding house lien on the articles
left by Loud and declined TO surrender
them. This placed Nathans where he
could not proceed with the attachment.
and he says he will make no further ef-
fort TO collect his claim until Loud is lib
Grated.
The result of the case is not apparent.
though it is said LIQUIDS attorneys will
plead the statute of limitations, as in the
case before the recorder when he was dis
charged. Should the trouble be adjusted
here, Loud will then be taken to Mont
gomery county on the embeZzlement
charge, and as he has friends there, it is
possible he will give bond and resume his
work,
