DISCRIMINATION is CHARGED.
CHARLESTON AND WILMINGTON Az
TER THE RAILROADS.

Arguments Made Before the iater-
state Commerce Commission as to
the Fairness of Rates to Norfolk
as Compared With Those to the
Other POints-Roads Claim the
Rates Are Necessary in order to
Get the Business.
Washington. Oct 2I-The Interstate
Commerce Commission has been engaged
for the past two days in hearing argu-
ments in the cases involving the freight
rates on the railroads running into Will
mington, N. c., and Charleston. S. c..
as compared with the rates on the same
lines into Norfolk
Various railroad lines are involved. in
Guiding the Norfolk and Western, the
Chesapeake and Ohio, the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Southern-in fact. all the
lines from Chicago, ST. Louis, Cincinnati,
Louisville and other Western points to the
Southeastern seaboard. The cases are
brought by the freight associations OF
Wilmington and Charleston and the charge
is that of discrimination
The Wilmington case was first heard.
In this case Mr.. William A. Day appeared
for the city and Mr.. Edward Baxter for
the railroad companies. Mr.. Baxter also
represented the railroads in the Charles
ton case, and Mr.. ]. p. X. Bryan appear
ed for that city.
Counsel for the cities based their pleas
upon the general charge that the rates
from the west to Wilmington and Charles
ton We're unlawfully higher than those to
Norfolk, Richmond and other Virginia
cities receiving the Norfolk rate. They
contended that these rates We're unreason-
able and unjust; that they subject the
merchants and other dealers of these cities
10 undue prejudice and disadvantage with
a resulting wrongful preference TO Norfolk
and other cities receiving the Norfolk rate
They represented that Wilmington and
Charleston being seaports as well as Nor
folk, were entitled TO the same rate as
the latter city, but instead of this being
the case they claimed that the rates from
Western points to Wilmington were often
high enough to include the through rate TO
Norfolk and the local rate from Norfolk
back
Replying for the companies. Mr.. Baxter
contended that the rates were neither un-
reasonable, unjust nor unduly preferential
He claimed that the rates to Norfolk were
controlled by the rates made by the trunk
lines to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, and that they were necessary TO
bring business to the Southern seaboar1
at all, but that this condition did not con-
troll in the case Of Wilmington and
| Charleston.
! A hearing win be had on Friday next in
volving a similar complaint on the part Of
DanVille, Va.

stratiOn Against England.
London, Oct 24.-The colonial office this
evening published a cable dispatch receiv-
ed from the British high commissioner in
South Africa, Sir Alfred N1ilner, commu-
nicating a significant dispatch from Sir
Godfrey Langden, the British res dent COM
missioner in Basutoland. calling attention
10 the recklessness of the Basutos whom
he says he has been trying to calm. The
resident commissioner adds:
"Our policy, however, has been made
difficult by the clustering of the Beers,
who have freely threatened to attack Ma
suru and other stations. These threats,
combined with intriguing, have contribut-
ed TO rouse excitement among the natives.
l wish to place it on record that the Beers
have unwisely attempted to shake the al
legiance of the Basutos and Illustrate our
efforts toward tranquility. The Beers,
therefore, are responsible for any commo-
tion and for the alarm regarding native
invasions which now prevails"

In making this my last report as chief
pastor Of the Burlington district, ] wish
to express my gratitude to God for health
amid surrounding sickness; for the priv
ileSe and JOY of preaching Jesus to so
many people; and, for the fact, that
though the past six years have covered
a period of great financial depression, yet
the district has made good advancement
.m the more important matters which
make up its history. Comparing the min
utes Of the conference of 1898 with those
last issued, 1t is seen that the salaries of
the pastors were Sl,GN0 less in 1898 than in
1893 yet the collections for benevolences
amounted to $1,472 more. l think too, the
spiritual life and power OF the chuvches
have increased as has also their member
