MILAN IS SURE
 OF NOMINATION His Friends Are Mixing Great Claims
 for Him. FIGURING ON SECOND PLACE Sherwood Hay be the Tail of the
 Democratic Kite. COLONEL MELBOURNE PREFERRED He Will Not Concede the Triumph of the Cincinnati Editor, and His Ob- stinacy May Loose the Lieu
 tenant Governorship.
COLONEL MELBOURNE PREFERRED

Zanesville, O., August 2S.-The demo- cratic state convention was inaugurated to- day by the arrival of John R. Mclean in the afternoon and Colonel James Kil- bourne tonight and all the other candidates for governor and other places on the state ticket. While the attendance is unusually large, there are not many delegates here yet. They will come tomorrow with the visiting clubs. The preliminary meetings do not occur till p. m. tomorrow and the convention will not be convened until Wednesday. There was no change today in the fight.
 The arrival of Mclean has made his friends more enthusiastic and the arrival of Kilbourne has made some of his friends desperate. The other candidates for gov ernor are not doing much beyond shak- ing hands, with the exception of Sherwood, who seems to be in line for second place.
 Figuring on Second Place
 The Mclean men are so confident of not less than seventy-six, more than necessary on the first ballot, that they are figuring on their running mates.
 They prefer Colonel James Kilbourne for lieutenant-governor, but so far neither he nor his friends will concede the nomina- ton to Mclean or accept the second place. If the Kilbourne men hold out, it is likely that the ticket will be Mclean and Sherwood.
 The Mclean leaders held a general con- ference late this evening and gave re- assurances afterward that a majority of seventy-six over all, with claims of sev enteen sure and probably eighteen of the twenty-one of the congressional districts. This would insure them control of all the committees tomorrow night and absolute control of the convention. Judge William T. Mooney will be temporary chairman of the convention, but he is mot wanted by the Mclean men for permanent chairman. Congressman J. D. Norton will be the permanent presiding officer
 Many Prominent Men Present
 The candidacy of Mclean has brought many prominent men here that have not attended conventions for many years Some of them are from other states. Nearly all "the old guard" that was in McLean's or ganization in 1885, when he sought to suc- ceed Sherman as senator, are here, and all of the workers he marsihalled two years ago against Hanna are here. Khbourna has not only the old friends of Thurman, but also quite an array of new men of his own following. All of the candidates seem to have brought in all the ''rooters" avail able.
 The indications tonight are that there will be opposition to the adoption of the proposed constitution that provides more definite plan of party organization and a uniform system for selecting delegates to ak democratic conventions.

THE EVIDENCE IS
 IN DREYFUS' FAVOR
Handwriting Expert Charavay Says ESterhazy is the Author of
 the Bordereau.

Rennes, August 2S.-The balance of the evidence today, for change, was in favor of Dreyfus. Five witnesses were for him and two against him. The most interest ing testimony was that of Chief Handwrit- ing Expert Charavay, who had come to declare he had changed entirely his opin- ion, which in 1894 was against, and now Is in favor of Dreyfus, who he today affirmed was not the author of the bordereau.
 His candid confession of error was re- ceived with murmurs of satisfaction in court, which became discreet applause in spite of Colonel Jouaust's patent disap- provaq when the expert solemnly added:
 T declare here, on my soul and con- science, that the bordereau was written by Esterhazy."
 The most important incident was Colonel Jouaust's acquiescence to Major Carriere's request that a rogatory commission be in- structed to take Colonel Du Paty de Clams deposition. The initiative came purely from the government commissary, Maitre La'bori and Demange having no faith in such a measure, because 1t allows Du Paty de Clam to csc cross-eXamina- ton, which is the only thing worth having under the present circumstances. Du Paty de Clam, being a witness for the prosecu- uon, Major Carriere will simply prepare

a list of questions which an examination magistrate win put to Du Paty de Clam at his residence, and nobody supposes that the witness will very much embarrassed by the interrogatories.
 Today the central figure in the court yard, which is the meeting place for all the leading personages of the trial during the suspension of the session, was Captain Freystaeter, who was the subject of many fiattering remarks upon his manly and sol- dier-like bearing. Indeed, the interest in him was so great that some persons waited all night long outside the door of the court in order to obtain standing room in the rear part of the court room in the hope of see- ing him at today's sitting, an impression having gone aborad that he might be re- caller. His modest and frank manner in- spired admiration in all except the generals and the other military witnesses for the prosecution, who seemed afraid of him and scowled in his direction from the other side of the court yard. Captain Freystaeter will not remain here until the end of the trial, but will leave Rennes in a few days.
 M. de Freycinet, formerly minister of war, arrived this evening and will testify tomorrow.

Extreme T. .Inlnn Isf .s

Capetown, August 2S-The Cape house of assembly is again debating the question of the transit of arms intended for the Or ange Free State, and presumably the Transvaal Evidently a state of extreme tension exists, as every speech made to- day was received with almost absolute si- lence in the chamber.
 William P. Sehriener, the premier, per- sonally appealed to his followers to re- frain from answering the criticism of the opposition lest they should develop words of fll feeling.
 Sir John Spriggs said that the recent speech of the British secretary for the col onies, Joseph Chamberlain, at Blrming- ham, has forced all to the conclusion that South Africa was on the brink of war un- less the Transvaal met the British de- mands. In his opinion the Cape govern ment ought to follow the example of Por- tugal at Delagoa Bay and refuse to per init the transit of arms as long as the crisis lasted.
 After Sir George Gordon spriggs had fin- ished, a pause occurred, the house waiting flor the premier's reply. Finally Mi Schrenier arose and declared that under the customs convention the Orange Free State was justified in importing arms through Cape Colony, and he did not intend ~ tSei uP "iiat SolN SiltioH hhoHlHS, as ne did. that there would be no war. "In the event of war" he said II would not lack the true warlike spirit"
 Mr. Schreiner describes Sir John Gordon Spriggs' motion as "a party dodge," and said he declined to be dictated to or to be driven into a historical policy by the pro- gressives.
 Eventually Sir John Gordon Spriggs with drew the motion for an adjournment.

Paris, August 2s.-At the session today of the Anglo-Venezuelan arbitration commits sion, Prof R. Soley, continuing his argu- ment in behalf of Venezuela, dismissed the line of Sir Robert Schomburg as valueless and as based on grounds now known to be falacious.

 Commandant General Joubert, in course of an interview, declared that the whole republic would resist like one man any in- reference with its independence. Secre- tary Reitz said he believed MT.

A DECISION ON
 FREIGHT TARIFFS Commerce CommiSsionl Decides
 Important Question. UNJUST DISCRIMINATION The Common Carriers Should Not Fa- vor Exporters at the Expense of Domestic Traders-The Rates
 Should Be Published
UNJUST DISCRIMINATION

Washington, August 2S.-The interstate commerce commission today announced its decision in a case involving relatives rates on exports and domestic traffic in grain and grain products. The commission holds that in the absence of some justifying req son it would not be right for American railroads to permanently transact business for foreigners at a less rate than that for which they render a corresponding service to American citizens. As to rates on ex- ports and domestic shipments of grain, the committee recites.
 Market conditions sometimes in case of wheat, but seldom in case of corn, may justify an export rate through the port of New York somewhat lower than the do- nestle rate, and Philadelphia Baltimore, Norfolk and Newport News usually take rates which are certain differentials below the New York rate on both domestic and export traffic,
The age-herald., 1899-08-29
Through Export Rates

It is further held that so-called through export rates made by adding the ocean rate, whatever it may be, to the inland rail rate, whatever 1t may be, are not analog- ous to the rates made by joint arrange ments between railway carriers, but sub- ject to the statute in the sense that the total rate must be published and filed and it is enough if the railway carrier publishes and maintains its own rate to the seaboard. But if this is in fact such joint arrange ment that the rate is a joint rate under the sixth section of the act, to regulate commerce. then the entire through rate should be published and not tine inland division which in that case might vary while the entire rate remains the same

closed Lake Navigation

During the period of closed lake naviga- ton, the export and domestic grain rates to New York and the other points men, toned should ordinarily be the same. Rates to other ports. including Boston and ports on the Atlantic north of Boston and Galveston, New Orleans and other gulf ports, may perhaps be properly made lower on export than on domestic traffic to enable them to compete for the export business. Such an adjustment of rates would be to the advantage of the carrier and just alike to the American consumer and American producer. But as the prob- lem is primarily one for the carriers rather than this commission, no order is made in relation to this branch of the case. But the export grain rates should not be less to the seaboard from any point than from any intermediate point on the same line"
 As to the rates on export flour as com pared with export wheat, the commission holds that public policy and good railway policy alike seem to require the same rate on export wheat and export flour, but in view of all the conditions shown in the in- vestigatlon a somewhat higher rate on ex- port wheat is not in violation of that statute.
The age-herald., 1899-08-29
The Difference Too Wide

The public difference in rates is too wide and the rate on flour for export should not exceed that upon export wheat by more than cents per 100 younds The re- lation of rates on domestic shipments of flour and wheat is not involved in this de- cision, as the export and domestic freights are handled under different conditions.
 It further appeared that carriers engaged in the transportation of export flour from Minneapolis at rate which Is 11a cent less than the domestic rate to the port of ex- port, refuse to make any corresponding rate to intermediate millers. The eommis- sion ruled that this was unjust and un- lawful discrimination against intermediate traffic, and that whatever line partici- pates in such lower export rate in flour from Minneapolis must make correspond ing rate on similar traffic from interme- diate points. The commission also decided that rates on export traffic must be puD- lished and filed In accordance with the pro- visions of section of the interstate com nerpa
