INDUSTRhAL COMMISSION,
Has Made Complete Inquiry Into
Industrial Matters.

Washington, May 1.-THE Industrial
Commission to-day made a preliminary re-
port to Congress on the subject of trans
portation. The commission states that
''oWing to the completeness of its inquiry
the commission as yet is not prepared to
make recommendations to Congress or to
the state legislatures"
On the question of discrimination be-
tween individuals the report says that the
general consensus of opinion among wit
nesses is that the railways still make them
and perhaps to as great an extent as ever
before.
They also say the evidence IS clear that
the great terminal elevators in Chicago,
and TO a less extent in other grain markei s,
are owned by comparatively few persons /;
that the owners of the public elevators al
so control great private elevators; that
they themselves buy a large proportion of
the grain which comes into public eleva-
tors, and that the business Of handling
grain on commission has been very grea ly
reduced by this practice 1t is also claim
ed that these men own most of the coun-
try elevators. The commission concludes
that il is probable that the claim that these
large elevators receive favors from the
railways in one way or another has some
basis"
On the question of grain and flour ship
ments it is stated that the evidence
seems conclusive that the effect of dis
elimination has already been disastrous to
our milling interests and that probably
even with the difference in rates reduced
as already shown ii will continue 10 be in
furious"
1t is also concluded that the powers Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission ara
more limited than the trainers of the law
intended.

EDUCATION OF NEGROES.
Correction of Military Record.
GeorEians in Washington,

Washington, May T.-There was an IN
teresting hearing before the House Com
mittee on Education to-day In behalf of
the bill introduced by Mr.. Wise of Virginia
at the instance of Archdeacon Walton of
Georgia providing for Industrial education
of colored youths IN the South. The pur-
poses of the bill were explained at length
and the wisdom of national cooperation
in broad and comprehensive scheme of
industrial education for the negroes was
impressed upon the members of the COM
mittee. While 1t is not probable that the
bill will be reported at this session of Con-
gress, there is believed to be a fair chance
for Its ultimate enactment into law.
The Senate has passed the bill introduced
by Senator Bacon to correct the military
record Of C. r. Dixon, late a private in
Company D of the First Georgia Regi-
ment, United States Volunteers, so as to
give him an honorable discharge. Dixon
is youngster only Is or II years old. His
oftense was going to- sleep while on guard
duty. 1t is claimed that there were at
tendant circumstances of a mitigating
character and the Senate Committee evil
IDENTIFY agreed to this, for 1t reporte fav-
orably upon this bill, which was at once
passed 1t is believed that there is a good
chance to get the bill through the House
also.

NO EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.
An Investigation of Commissioner
Smiths Account.

Waycross, Ga, May 1.-THE recent
grand jury of Ware county in examining
the books of School Commissioner ]. D.
Smith, found alleged evidences of fraud in
the management of the school funds, and
recommended among other things that his
books be investigated and that he be re-
quested TO refund a large sum of money
overdrawn by himself The County Com
rnissioners ordered an investigation by the
school board and appointed Hon. War
rem Lott TO assist in the work.
The investigation was made to-day. The
books and vouchers checked up all right,
and there were no evidences of intentional
fraud or corruption. A few minor mistakes
were discovered, and in several instances
it was found that some of the teachers
had been paid a dollar or two more than
was acsually coming up to them. This Mr..
Smith accounted for by stating that on
diverse occasions teachers had come to
his house at night, and he had In order TO
accommodate them, given checks, amounts
due, to the best of his recollection.
The only question is as to whether Mr.
Smith drew salary for more time than
he actually served. but as his vouchers
were all approved by the county and state
boards of education, there can be no kick
coming on this point. In one entry, the
commissioner pOlilteu Out "a IliiSlNhC ahh
rectifed it. In making out his report
from April to October, he made 1t in
elusive, this causing a mistake of twenty
I'VE days in mis- favor. This w15 SoTfsSt-
ed at the meeting of the grand jury, when
he was brought before that body. Very
few people in this city believe that MIR.
Smith was guilty of intentional fraud.

FOR RIVERS AND HARBORs.
Special Bill Passed by the House
Carrying s400, 900. .'H

Washington, May 1.-THE House to-day
passed a special river and harbor bill car
rying $40O, 900" for surveys and emergency
work and devoted the remainder OF the
day to the Alaskan code bill. Very little
of the three hours debate was pertinent
to the measure General debate was clos
ed and four pages of the 6l7 pages of the
bill were disposed of before adjournment
When Mr.. Burton, chairman of the Riv-
er and Harbor Committee, asked for unan-
in1cus consent to consider the bin he an
nounced a real river and harbor bill
would be brought in early in the next ses-
sion.
Mr.. Southland Of Ohio objected, and
thereupon, on Mr. Burton's motion, the
House went into Committee OF the Whole
to consider IT.
After some unimportant debate the com
mittee rose and the bill was passed.
The Alaskan code bill was then taken
up In the ensuing three hours general
debate with leave to print Mr.. w. Z. Will
liams discussed the Philippine question
Mr.. Shattuc made a general resume Of
Industrial conditions 10 show that the
present administration had lifted the
country out of the Slough OF despond"
and had brought IL 20 the high water
mark Of prosperity.
After some further remarks by Mr.
Kitchin of North Carolina, and others, the
House at 4:55 .. m. adjourned.

FeastIng in the Past.
From Chambers' journal.


Extreme prodfgality seems to have ex-
listed at the tables of King and mobiles
alike. We read of 10000 dishes at the
wedding feast of Richard, brother of
Henry III; and the enthronement Of an
Archbishop Neville was followed by
banquet which comprised among other
things, 5000 dishes of jelly, 1000 hot Gust
ards, 400 swans, 1903 pigs, wild bulls, and
103 oxen. Truly a substantial and varied
repast
The art of elaboration in cookery must
have made rapid strides by this time, as
we find that such dishes were some times
served as IAN image of St. Catharine

doctors" "a pelican sitting In her nest
with her young" and "a castle set in the
middle of custard with Jelly. In which was
demon bringing doctor in a pulpit in
cloth-aof-green tabard and hood bearing
a pious inscription in Latin"
There is still preserved the menu of a
feast given by one of our early Kings to
the "heralds and Frenchmen when they
had jousted in Smithheld." History re-
cords the fact that Du Guesclin once
drank three wine soups In honor of the
Trinity before he prepared for single COM
