RAILROAD MAN TESTIFIES,
TrafFic Manager stubbs Gives an Ex-
haustive Review of Transcon-
tfnentnI Tariffs.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-The princi-
pal witness before the interstate COM
merce commission today was J. G. Stubbs,
traffic manager of the Southern PACING
company. He made an exhaustive state
ment OF the history of the transcontinental
tariffs and the competition of railroads for
the coast tariff. II was shown by tabu-
lated figures that the difrerential which st.
Louis asks to have lowered Is not excep-
tlonal nor inequitable, but II is based upon
the cost of operation and handling Be
tween New York and Omaha the differen-
tial is greater on 513 commodities than on
the same commodities between St Louis
and San Francisco. From Chicago to
points in the West the differential is
greater than on st. Louis to the Pacific
coast.
Mr.. Stubs said the old North American
line of steamers was the bittefest COM
petition the railroad ever had.
Referring to the establishment OF the
tariff of June. 1898. the one now under con-
sideration, Mr. Stubs said
1.-The less than carload rate is based
upon the carload rate, and the carload
rate is made to fit the water competition.
THAT is all the less than carload rate
has TO do with the water competition. II
the difrerentias should be done away with
my belief is that the effect would be to
force our merchants to a larger share of
traffic on the water.
ANY adjustment OF rates that would re-
strict their trade" continued Mr.. Stubbs
would compel them to set about to get
better rates by sea. and any attempt 10 do
this would necessarily bring on a rate war;
which we are anxious to avoid"
The commission concluded its hearing in
this city today. From hero the commits
sion goes to Portland and Seattle TO take
further testimony.

roc MUCH ZOE rHE ELDER.

Waterville, September "a There was
a baptism in the Messalonskee stream
near STONY Turn'' Sunday afternoon
that came near resulting in tragedy.
One of the candidates was Anna Well
man, who weighs about 200 pounds. FL
der Howe, who was otficiating,is a small
man of about l4O pounds. The place
where the baptism occurred has been
used for the same purp ose many times,
but it is supposed that the tide went a
little too far OUT and got near the edge
Of the channel, where the bottom drops
out of sight and the water is deep.
just as the elder immersed the candi-
date the crowd was terror stricken to
see both the elder and the candidate 90
under water and disappear from sight
for moment. There were only three
men present, the rest of the crowd being
made up OF women and children.
Only one man OF the three could swim
and he went into the stream after the
drowning pair, for 1t was by this time
evident that the elder had more than
his hands full and was growing weaker
every moment. He succeeded in getting
the elder and Mrs Williams near enough
to the shore so that he received help
from those on the bank. Mrs. Wellman
was unconscious and Elder Howe was
50 exhausted that ne was not able to leave
his bed last evening.
