RAILROAD COMMISSION,

Last week the railroad commis-
sion approved an application oy the
Cotton Belt for a special rate OF
five cents per hundred on saw mill
machinery from Ulm to Roe; also
for a special rate of ten cents on
10000 pounds of lumber from
Struttgart to Roe; an application
by the Iron Mountain for perma-
nent rate of three cents per 100
pounds on common brick, 10000
pounds minimum car load, from
Little Rock and Piue Bluff to Ark
ansaS City, to meet water compe-
tition; also an application of the
Iron Mountain for a special rate
for a minimum car load of 10000
pounds of bagging and ties from
Dermott to Baxter to meet wagon
competition.
The commission has decided to
grant no more special rates unless
the cases possess exceptional merits
and circumstances which render
them dissimilar to the OF 5inary gen.
eral shipments.
The commission has under consid-
Grafton an express tariff for the
state, submitted by the Pacific EX-
press company. They will approve
temporarily the rates submitted,
until a thorough investigation can
be made, which will require consid-
cradle time.
Little Rock jobbers were before
the commission discussing recon
Esig nment rates. Chairman Robert
Neil said: 'We have issued no for
mai order. We have heretofore
doubted the propriety of reconsign-
ment practices by jobbers, but in
view of existing conditions of the
trade we are permitting it to 90 on
for the present. "
The commission will soon promul-
gate the freight rates adopted by
them.

QUAY'S FATEIN DOUBT.
His Friends Seeking to Convert SEN
ator HarriA

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Quay's
friends are making a desperate effort TO
overcome the apparent majority against
him in the senate. They are now claim
ing to have secured some favorable as
SuranCeS of a rather indefinite kind
from Senator Nelson of Minnesota He
voted against Corbett of Oregon, who
had a much stronger case than Quay
because the Oregon legislature was
never really organized at all. Quay'S
friends believe they have induced Sen
ator Nelson to 60 back on his record
and vote for the Peunsylvanian. but
friends of the MinnesOtan do not be-
ueVe this possible. first in view of his
well known previous attitude. and.
secondly. on account of the manifest
sentiment in the west against seating
Quay under such circumstances
As matters now stand the maiOrity
report of the committee will be adverse
TO Quay, but his friends are bending
their energies to secure the conversion
of Senator Harris. the Kansas POpulist,
with what success remains to be shown
Quay can not be seated except after a
long and bitter fight. and the chances
are against him. If he were a new
man in the senate he would be beaten
beyond the shadow of a doubt, and his
strongest card now is the personal
friendship which many senators have
formed for him If the case were de-
cided on its merits he would be turned
down by an overwhelming majority.
