Especial TO The Messenger.)
Raleigh. y. c., May S.-The railway
commission met today. 10 give xhe rail
ways a hearing as to the Jim Crow"
car law. More than a dozen railways
were represented by officials or by
counsel. these including the Seaboard
Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line. South
ern, Atlantic and North Carolina, Nor
folk and Western, etc. AS yet the pub
lie laws are not printed and hence no
official copy of this Jim Crow" law has
been sent out. An official Of the Allan
tic and North Carolina railway said
he had never even seen a copy Of the
law.
At the afternoon session OF the ON
mission a depot was ordered at Cerro
Gordo, on the Wilmington, Columbia
and Augusta railway. and an agency
to be established there.
The petition for a depot at Grouse,
on the Carolina Central, is held ove- for
information from the railroad.
The petitions for depots at Hudson,
on the Carolina and Northwestern rail-
| way, and at Sharpsburg, on the Viii
mington and Weldon railway, were dis
missed because there are new depots
| nearer than five miles.
The case Of the Wilmington Tariff
Association against the Southern and
the Atlantic Coast Line railways, in
which it was set forth that there was
discrimination in freight rates from
| Wilmington to western North Carolina
points, is withdrawn because the rail-
ways grant the petition and reduce
rates.
A. NJ. Goodman filed a complaint
against the condition of the Murphy
branch of the Western North Carolina
railway. The railway denies his allie
cations and the commission calls for
witnesses.
In the case of Haywood against the
Southern Express Company for re-
fusal to receive and forward freight on
Sundays, the express company agrees
to receive and forward and the case is
therefore dismissed.
The people of Maxton petition for a
union depot. The railways showed the
commission that within ninety days
such depot will be built and the peti.
ton is, therefore, dismissed.
The Jim Crow car matter will bt
again taken up tomorrow and an order
will then be made as to it.
At the morning session Of the com
mission there were present John D
Shaw, J. H. Williams, J.. NJ. Turner ant
w H. Day, for the Seaboard Air Line
S.. L., Hill and j. c.. L.. Harris, for thu
Atlantic and North Carolina; J.
Kenly, for the Atlantic Coast Line; A
B. Andrews and F. H. Busbee, for tn
Southern; NJ. K. King, for the Norfoll
and Southern; w. A. Guthrie, for tn,
Norfolk and Western; H. A. Page, TO
the Aberdeen and Asheboro; J. M
ELTON; w. c.. Petty, for the Caraleigh
J. A. Mills, for the Cape Fear and Raj
eigh; Frand D. Jones, for the Durham
and Charlotte; F. NJ. Barnes, for tn,
Raleigh and Western.
Relief from the provisions of tn
Jim Crow" car law was asked for a.
branch lines, it being declared that ne
gro traffic was very light on these a n
that most negroes rode second class
Exemption for through rains was ais
asked. 1t was asserted to be the opin
ion of the railway officials that the lay
! does not apply to mixed freight an,
passenger trains.

San Juan, May S.-Brigadier General
George w. Davis who has been ap-

was no doubt that the present insurrec-
ton in Venezuela and the consequent
feeling of instability weighed to a Ger.
tain extent in the balance.
Replying to a query regarding the de.
liberations within the court, Mr.. Brewer
said that there was, properly speaking,
no casting Of votes. Each judge con-
ceded one thing in turn. With regard tt
the proceedings In open court. he. sai
the hearing of arguments might have
been considerably curtailed had the case
been heard exclusively by either an Erg
lish or an Ameii, an court; but the judges
thought it prudent to allow counsel full
liberty in order to make matters clearer
to the president, who, after all, was not
a lawyer.
Asked whether. according to his owr
opinion, Venezuela was entitled TO more
than she actually received, Justice
Brewer, after some hesitation, said he
would rather say nothing on that sub.
ject, and concluded by remarking that
whatever the two parties might think
of the award. Venezuela received BaIims
point. which gives her full control of the
interior Of her territory and England Is
confirmed in the possession of te: RI
tory in the development of which
she has spent considerable money
and energy; but, the principal bless
ing is that the two nations can al
last develop peacefully, side by side,
large tracts of territory, which, owing
to previous antagonism, have remained
unproductive.'

pheric luck 10 be calculated, the Ameri-
can representative can both outfoOt and
outpoint the foreigner. 1t was contenGc1
that, while the Fife creation held her
own in the erratic and paltry breezet
which marked the first race, another tale
will be told when Columbia has a chance
to exhibit her particular qualities of sail
ing large aud free. II Is asserted alsc
that there is nothing tangible in the con
tention that the challenger will prove
stronger in a breeze than the defender.
1t was observable that Shamrock kicked
UP much more fuss in the choppy ssa
than did Columbia, and it is inferred
from this that when she does meet a
blow she will thrash and make muck
worse weather of it than her Compel litor
However, all this Is only so much
speculation. Generally speaking the
first race, considering the eccentric con-
ditions under which it was sailed, proved
nothing. One thing is universally ag! csc
to among yachting men, and that is that
Hogarth proved himself better sea man
than Barr. 1t was generally conceded
that the favoring fiukes which attended
Shamrock were due not so much to
"Lipton's luck, as to Hogarth's better
Judgment. -......f
Columbia went out for short trial
spin outside Sandy Hook shortly after
noon, principally to try new club top
sail, which Mr.. Iselin wished to have
stretched and ready for today's race.
Under mainsail and jib the yacht tlllet
away from her moorings, and under the
influence of fresh southwest breezs
she was soon passing the point Of Sandy
Hook.
Captain Barr brought the yacht arount
head to wind when the new topsail was
ready to hoist and in few moments the
big sky-reaching sail was mastheaded.

productions and fitted perfectly After
setting taut on the sheet and tack several
times to get the sail we'll stretched, Co.

was that we had to adjust our differeu
