sent out for n special assessment on
every member of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, of whom there are about
$4,000 in this city. a return of $4,000
is expected, which will help to swell
the general fund of $l.000,000 which
Irish organizations throughout the
country seek to raise.
In speaking about the alleged Fenian
plot to raid Canada, Mr.. McManus
said: THE proposed Fenian raid, if
there is any such thing contemplated,
is against the rules of international
law. The loyalty of the Irish to this
country leads them to regard the
announcement as merely a bluff to
keep the Canadians at home"
1t is expected he says. that a meet
ing to be held at the Academy of Music
will result in $4,000 fund to fit out a
hospital relief ship.

FREIGHT RATE WAR ON.

Georgia Roads Arc Lining Up for n
Pitched Battle.
Atlanta, Ca, January 2S.-The Seaboard
Air Line has given notice that it will cut
rates from Atlanta and Athens to Ports
mouth and Norfolk from Is to 20 cents per
hundred, beginning tomorrow
The Southern gives evidence that It is
in the fight to stay, for today authority
was secured from the railway commission
to reduce the Brunswick Savannah rate
from 10 to Is cents, which preserves the
differental of cents that originally existed
between rates of those points and the
Norfolk Portsmouth rates.
The Central of Georgia will again reduce
their rates to Savannah and the Georgia
road and connections will name the same
figures to Charleston. The Central owns
lines OF steamers from Savannah to Boston
and New York SO that while the other
roads only receive part of the rate the
Central gets all and is consequently able
to carry cotton at a much less rate. 1t is
now believed the war will spread to other
classes of freight.
