NEW FREIGHT RATES.
Southern Roads Make Important
Change in Classification.

New York, August T,-After repeated
protests made by merchants and shippers
In all parts of the country against changes
and advances in the classification of freight
moving into territory south of the Ohio
and east Of the Mississippi rivers, the
Southern Classification company has grant
ed a number of concessions involving
changes in the ratings as originally con-
tanned in the schedules promulgated on
June /. The new ratings have just become
effective and are the only response so far
made to the shippers protests. The most
important change perhaps, is in respect
to the rule in southern classification Nos.
rs and ~, that prohibited the acceptance
by southern lines of shipments packed In
so-called fiber packing cases. The south
ern roads originally refused absolutely to
accept such cases for shipments, but have
now followed the example of the trunk
line roads and agreed to accept them, but
impose an additional rate, the same as
do the trunk lines. On behalf of it's men,
bers the Merchants association of New
York strongly protested against the stand
at first taken by the southern roads in this
matter. In addition to this concession,
beans, ETC.. dried, in barrels or in sacks,
are reduced from second to fourth-class
in less than carload lots. reduction Of
one class has also been made in less than
carload lots of ale. beer and porter. This
makes carload rates on beer lower than
ever before in southern territory and re-
stores the less than carload in the original
rating. The rates on coffee, ammonia SAL
aratus and axle grease have been reduced
but rates on edible nuts are advanced.

IS CASE NEARING THE END
ARGUMENTS BEING MADE
TO JURY. |;
VICIOUS ATTACKS MADE
on POWERS ATTORNEYS.
Campbell Attacks Everything Per-
tanning to the Defense-Large
Attendance in Court.

Georgetown, KY, August 1.-THE largest
crowd that has yet been in attendance at
the Powers trial thronged the court house
this morning, this being the closing of the
argument. Col. T. c. Campbell of Cincin.
natl began addressing the jury at $3.50.
Henry E. Youtzey, who has been threat
ened with typhoid fever, is reported much
improved this morning and his attorneys
say he will be ready for trial Monday.
In his preliminary remarks Colonel Camp
bell took occasion to regret the heated state
Of public feeling in Kentucky and appealed
to the jury to not think of politics, but to
weigh the evidence and return verdict
based on that. He took the diagram OF
the state capitol grounds, and this, in con-
nectlOn with the measurements of civil
engineers and the autopsy on the body OF
Goebel, was used in tracing the bullet By
this he said 1t was concusively proved
that the shot was fired from Caleb Powers
office .and he deted the defense to try to
shake the correctness Of the demonstra-
ton.
Mr.. Campbell referred to Attorney Owens
of the defense as one Of Powers fellow
refrained from calling men liars, the
temptation was great in the case Of Law
yer Sinclair, who made himself one OF
three witnesses who testified that the
Powers office. while over 100 other wit
nesses testified that it did come from that
direction.
Colonel Campbell took up the evidence
OF various witnesses and discussed its
bearing upon the case. He declared that
the murder Of Goebel had for it's object the
permanent installment of an organization
Of political buccaneers in the mountains
whose strongest ally was a great corpora

CHINESE CONSUL AGAINST ANY
IMPROVEMENT.
Would Be Bad for the World if China
! II Took UP With Western
Civilization.

Oakland, August 17.-Ho Vow, Chinese
consul general at San Francisco, in an
address before the Ebell Society, ques-
toned the advisability even from Cau-
casian standpoint of converting the en-
tire Chinese population to Christianity.
HThere are 10000 900 of my country
men," said Ho Vow. 'They are increas-
ing in vast numbers. They are quick to
learn, and taking these facts into con-
sideration, what would happen If the
white race succeeded in forcing its CIV
ilization and it's knowledge upon them?
They will be able to manufacture guns
and all the engines of warfare with equal
facility. Under these circumstances
Christianity might triumph and again
1T might not"
The three chief causes Of the present
troubles In China, Ho Vow declared to
be missionary work, acquisition of terri
tory by foreign nations and the desecra-
tion of ancestral homes and the land
scape of China.
!. h closing Ho Vow said that he could
SEQ ind legitimate reason why one nation
should wish to force it's religion upon
another.

GOOD CHEER At WASHINGTON
News Of Relief Of Legations the
Absorbing Topic.

washington, August 17-Out of the
gloom of the recent acute crisis came
the cheering information from many
sources to-day, unofficial. but so circum-
stantial and SO positive as to be generally
credited In official quarters, that the al
lied armies had reached Pekin and that
the legationers had been relieved. This
information came in press dispatches
from London, Shanghai and Berlin, and
they We're eagerly scanned by the off,
Gals In Washington. They were unable,
however, to furnish the slightest confir-
nation, neither the state. war and navy
departments nor the Chinese minister
having any advices that this happy con-
summation had been reached.
When the cabinet session began at II
o'clock it was with this lack of official
information and yet the conviction from
unofficial information that the crisis had
been relieved At the state department
a cipher dispatch was received from
Consul Fowler at Che Foo, but unfor,tu-
nately it conveyed no word of the arrival
at Pekin, nor the rescue of the legation
ers, referring to points already pretty
we'll known. A dispatch from Admiral
Re1ney, dated at Taku, gave information
as to the situation at Pekin on the 10th.
The Chinese minister was elated when
word reached him of the press dispatches
announcing that the legationers had been
relieved. Not word had come to him
confirma,tOry of the reports and this led
nln TO examine the OnOfnclal aQv1cC0
from Shanghai and elsewhere with con-
siderable care. He pointed out that
Shanghai was some 800 miles from PEI
kin, and it wa surprising that infor1na-
ton did not come from Tien Tsin or
Taku, only about 100 miles from Pekin.
and the base of the allied forces More
over the appeal of Ii Hung Chang FOR
an arunistice was dated the 18th and
showed that Earl Ii did not know at
that time OF the alleged retirement OF
the imperial party from Pekin. He,
however. was disposed to credit the re-
ports, even in the absence of official In
formal tion. He reckoned that since the
allied forces We're at Tung Chow, there
had been ample time to cover the short
distance between that place and Pekin
SO that the reports Tailed with his own
calculation on what was likely to have
occurred.
The Chinese have no knowledge OF the
departure of the Empress Dowager and
the Imperialhousehold from Pekin on Au-
gust 7th, as mentioned in the Shanghai
dispatch. The place named at the point
which they took for refuge is said to be
about 100 miles back from Pekin. It 10
