BIG RAILROAD
 MEN ARE IN CITY Purpose of Their Meeting is Not
 Known. FREIGHT RATE ON PIG IRON One Rumor Has It That Railroads Are Talking About Raising Rates This Was Pronounced Absurd
 from Another Source.
FREIGHT RATE ON PIG IRON

There was a great gathering of railroad
 men in Birmingham yesterday but 1t was l chiefly accidental, so it was said.
 Milton II. Smith, president of the Louis- vile and Nashville, and one of the most
 notable railroad magnates in America; Charles B. Compton, former popular citi- zen of Birmingham; G. V. Norton and G. c. Dupont. all deeply interested in the Louisville and Nashville were here. So also were W. M. Campbell, general freight agent of the Cincinnati and Eastern Ili- nois; Louis c. Cardinal, travelling freight agent of the Mobile and Ohio; T. P. Jeff ries, general freight agent of the Evans vile and Terre haute; D. H. Hillman, con- tracing agent for the last two named roads; D. Schriver, assistant general freight agent of the Cincinnati Southern, at Chat tanooga; T. F. Steele, general freight agent of the New Orleans and Northeastern; Ray Knight, contracting agent of the New Or leans and Northeastern; and F. c. Shep- ard general freight agent of the Louisville and Nashville, at Montgomery-these and others were all here yesterday.
 It was said that the gathering was for the purpose of considering an increase in the leTISnL rdleS OH DIE irOH AS to lhtt hae- ter. leading railroad official declared;
 ''The suggestion is absurd. No question has yet arisen to incerasing rates on pig iron. That could be dealt with only by the presidents and general traffic man. agers of the roads directly concerned. The only man of the highest authority visiting Birmingham today is President Milton II. Smith. The fact that he alone ofkthe great railway personages is present in Birming-ii ham is proof positive that no movement Is in progress to increase rates on pig iron. In point of fact, 1 know that no such movement has been discussed. Just why so many railroad men are here 1 am not in a position to state, but I assure that 1t has nothing to do with rates on pig iron. As to Mr. Steele and MT. Shepard, they are merely talking over matters pertaining to the Gulf and Ship Island railroad

 --~~-~--~-~~---~---~---~ has been an exchange of correspondence between the three governments party to the treaty of Berlin respecting the choice of a successor to the late King Malietoa, and some friction developed owing to the strict adherence of the United States government to the terms of the treaty. The statements ! in the dispatch from Apia are not regarded here as conclusive, for the reason that they are in conflict. with the provisions of the treaty If, as reported, Rafael the priest Of the municipal council at Apia, and the German consul, Rose, have seized the su- preme court and pronounced themselves practically dictators, it is said here that they have violated the treaty of the three nations. The functions of the priest of the municipal council are clearly defined by the treaty and the last advices received here were to the effect that President Rafael had been granted leave of absence and n- tended to visit New Zealand It was also understood that his successor had been se- leeted and it was thought was on his way to his post
 The chief justice under the treaty is made the court of last resort under any cir cumstances, and moreover the treaty in terms providing distinctly that in case of any dispute between the natives themselves or between the foreigners in Samoa that dispute shall be referred to the chief jus tice and his decision shall be final. The treaty expresses the idea that this proyis- ion Is to guard against hostile outbreaks Therefore it is scarcely believed here that the president of the council would thus de- liberately violate the plain treaty provis- ion.
 It was known here that the British and American consular/ officers at Apia have been acting in accufer-in the present in- volved political situation there and al- though the interests of the United States many not be compared with those of Ger many, yet their rights under the treaty are equal and it may be stated they will be satisfied.
 The report that the three consuls have Joined In a provisional recognition of Matafa could not be reconciled with the open disagreement with the terms of the treaty as to the choice of a king that such action would involve, the power of settling disputes of this character being, as already stated, solely lodged In the hands of the chief justice, who, by the way, in this case is an American
 The last advfces of the government here. were to the effect that the chief justice had .his particular dispute under considerati tion, IL having been regularly referred to him in accordance with the terms of the treaty His decision in all probability would be regarded as binding by the government of the United States.
 Chief Justice William L. Chambers re- ferred to in the above dispatches, is an Aiapamian. having been appointed to his present office by Preident Cleveland short ly after the Berlin treaty was made. MT. Chambers resided in Montgomery and for many years was the law partener of Hon. Hillary A. Herbert, one time secretary of the navy.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratula- ton and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as 8 catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hum dreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest.
 The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti- san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher-all agree that Fortuna Is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especial ly. enthusiastic in their praise and testi- mony.
 Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost om- nipresent. Fortuna is the only abso- lute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. Toprevont colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of it's victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca tarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great rem- edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
 The Governor of Oregon is an ardent adnirer of Fortuna. He keeps it con-

 SALEM, May 9, 1898. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co.,, Columbus, ,O.i Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and 1t proved to be an excel- lent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments.
 Yours very truly, W. M. Lord. It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Per ru-na for other ailments. The reasen for this is, most other ailments begin with & cold, Using Pe-ru-pa to prompt. ly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States sholld do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, Ia grippe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ail- ments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with 8 copy of Dr. Hartmarl's free book, entitled "Winter Catarrh." Address Dr. Hart man, Columbus, Ohio.
