Present Law Has Proven Very
Defective in Important
Particulars,
And as It Now Stands Cannot BE
Enforced.--TarifiS Are
Disregarded
And Determinations Constantly
Occur-.Public Gets Little
Benefit.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE annual
report of the interstate M COM
mission has been given out. In it the
commission says: In previous reports
to congress-, attention has been called to
the vital respects in which the act has
proved defective and inadequate. Some
Of its provisions We're early seen to be
imperfect while others were so uncer-
tain and ambiguous as to give rise to
protracted litigation, resulting finally
in authoritative construction by the SUI
preme court of the United States. The
commission has taken much pains to
explain the various questions which
have thus been decided and the effect
of these authorizations in defeating the
purpose of the act. To state
that the law in its present condition
cannot be enforced is only to repeat
what has already been said. Until fur
ther andimportant legislation is enacted
the best efforts of the regulation must
be feeble and disappointing. In our last
annual report we not only set forth in
general terms the necessity for amend
ing the law. but formulated and pro-
posed the specific amendments which
appear to us positively essential. With
the renewal of these recommendations
no duty of the commission isthin regard
remains undischarged.
Present Conditions Intolerable.
Meanwhile the situation has become
intolerable. both from the standpoint of
the public and the carriers. Tariffs are
~disregarded. determinations constantly
occur, the price at which transportation
can be obtained is fuctuating and un-
certain. Railroad managers are dis
trustful of each other and shippers all
the while in doubt as to the rates Sc
cured by their competitors. The
volume of traffic is so unusual as to
frequently exceed the capacity of
equipment, yet the contest for tonnage
seems never relaxed. Enormous sums
are spent in purchasing business and
secret rates accorded far below the
standard of published charges. The
general public gets little benefit from
these reductions. for concessions are
mainly confined to the heavy shippers.
All this augments the advantages of
large capital and tends to the injury
and often to the ruin Of smaller dealers.
These are not only matters of gravest
consequence to the business welfare of
the country, but they concern in no less
degree the higher interests Of public
morality.

MILES WILL NOT ACT.

Says He will Pay No Attention to the
Utterances of Eagan.
CHICAGO, Jan. IA special to The
Tribune from Washington says: When
General Miles was seen in regard to
General Eagan's statement before the
war investigating commission, he said;
II shall pay no attention to a mar
who seems to forget that he years the
uniform of the United States army, and
this dignity should carry with it the in
stincts of a gentleman. If the secretary
of war chooses to take cognizance of
General Eagan's language, we'll and
good. | certainly shall not do So"

Winston, n. c., August 2.-GSpecial) y
Twelve revenue officers returned TINS
evening from a big revenue rad III
Stokes county. At daybreak yesterday
morning they cut up eight distiller.ies be-
longing to Bin Smith and Jim Taylor,
two of the most noted blockaders IN
North Carolina The officers destroyed
several hundred gallons of beer and
whiskey. Smith and Taylor were ar
rested and jailed at Danbury.
The officers anticipated trouble and
were cautious about entering the dlstll-
leries until prepared to get the drop
on the blockadelS. The cause for alarm
was on account of the fact that Taylor
and Smith have been in several shooting
scrapgs with revenue men. They were
not given a chance to shoot this time.
Smiths father, who is quite old, was
so drunk that the officers did not inter
fere with him. 4 daughter of the old
man thanked The officers for their eff
forts in trying to break up the objec-
t.oGnhie business.
Jim Taylor is quite wealthy and it Is
thought he will be able to give bond.
The officers had Il warrant against him

is in high spirits today over the splendid

1t was a surprise and revelation TO all
our people. Both Of the large new ware
houses were filed to their utmost capa-

rains which must have cut the sales
short by several thousand pounds.
TWENTY-FIVE Thousand pounds We're sold
here yesterday at prices ranging from
four to forty dollars per hundred pounds
with fancy lots bringing as high as one
dollar per pound. Seven counties We're
represented by the tobacco on the floors
which was seized by n fine corps of buy
ers from Wilson, Danyille. Durham
Winston and other points. The average
price paid was a little above eight dol
lars per hundred, the entire sales netting
more than $4,000 in cash Over two
thousand people witnessed the sales, and
the occasion was made delightful by
soul-stifring music rendered by .he Dunn

The day will long he remembered as
one Of the brightest and most auspicious
in our towns history, and one that
marks the dawn Of a brighter day for
the farmers Of this and surrounding
counties. The tobacco sales today reveal
to our farmers the latent qualities Of
their fertile soil. No better soil for the
growth of fine tobacco exists in our State
than that surrounding our town.
The population of our town has multi

A POWERFUL BOLT.
Lightning Wrecked an Armature Mt the

Wilmington Messenger

Wilmington Messenger
During the severe storm yesterday
morning. lightning played havoc at the
plant Of the Wilmington Gas Light
Company, foot of Castle STREET. While
the storm was raging fiercesr, about
1890 O'Clock, the lightning struck the
lightning arrester, which was capable
of understanding 10000 volts. demolished
it and destroyed the armatnre Of the
large dynamo. At the time OF the acct
dent the dynamo was running, supplying
the necessary current for store lights,
which were needed on account of the
darkness. The destroyment OF the arIra
ture necessarily stopped the dynamo,
and the electric lights went out with Il
suddenness that caused an immense
amount Of w0nderment.
At the time Of the accident Mr. John
w. Reilly, superintendent, was at the
plant and he took prompt action to re-
pair the damage to the machinery and
SO energetically did he push the work
that another armature, when was kept
on hand in case of an accident, was in
place by four o'clock in the afternoon.
The armature destroyed was worth
s40O, and there is no telling the power
Of the bolt that accomplished its de-
struction. as it completely wrecked the
very strong lightning arrester.
