Milton j. Green was TO have appeared be-
fore the Assembly to-day to answer to the
contempt charges. Green refused to state
whom OF the members of the Legislature he
had given Grants morey when asked by the
special committee which was appointed to
inquire into senatorial scandals. Owing to
illness in his family, however, Mr.. Green did
not appear. Assemblyman Fairweather in
troduced a resolution dismissing the pro-
ceedings against Greene. Ii led TO one Of
the most exciting scenes ever witnessed on
the ioog OF the Assembly. The resolution
was advocated by Grants followers and op-
posed by those of Burns. The other men,
bers OF the Assembly were about evenly di-
vided on the question. Roll call was de-
manded. Thirty-four voted no and thirty-six

AS result of the Encouragement by the
Mallory and Morgan steamship lines o!
the schedule of rates to East st. Louis aud
Missouri river points. It is INST altogether
improbable that rate war which may in
volvc this territory will occur. Experts
are of the opinion that trohble must re-

Encouragement are not restored The ac-
tion of the two companies named will at
feet the business Of other rail lines very
materially and VIII also bring about a
reimbursement OF the rail and lake rates
which have been agreed on for the season.
AS a result the other water lines are con-
siderably exercised, especially in view OF
the fact that harmonious opening of
the season was looked for. From the fact
that the business being moved at present
is not considerable. II is possible that the
cut will be ignored until the heavier trai-
tc begins
Another feature OF the matter which
makes some OF the competing lines es-
pecially anxious to retaliate is the fact that
the trouble brought about by a recent deal
between Mallory line and the Pee Gee
which resulted in reduced rates, still ex-
lists Notwithstanding thsi fact that the
matter has been brought before the inter-
state commission more than once.
