NO DISCRIMINATION.
Georgia Northern Must Accept All
Freight Of the T., 7. & q.


Freight Of the T., 7. & g.
After hearing the contentious In the case
OF the Triton, brownsville and Gulf and
the Georgia Northern. the Georgia railroad
commission Tuesday ISSUED an order In
structing the Georgia Northern to receive
freight from the Triton road without a
prepayment OF freight.
This is the second time that the conten-
lions OF the two roads have been before
the railroad commission and the hearing
Tuesday afternoon was a review of what
had been heard before.
II was shown that the Georgia Northern
had freight billed for its way stations car
ried over the Plant System via Pidcock,
which gives II a longer haul than receiving
the freight from the Triton. Thomasville
and Gulf at Moultrie.
II was stated that for this reason the
Georgia Northern has been forced to de-
mand a prepayment OF the freight. The
commission holds that this is a clear dis
elimination against the Triton, Thomas
VILE and Gulf road and for that reason
the order was issued that It cease at once.
II is said that the case viii so into the
courts, where the Georgia Northern will
undertake to show that II is not discrimi-
nation for them to demand that all freight
be prepaid. In case the Georgia Northern
does not follow the Instructions OF the
commission a suit will be entered and a
fine imposed by the court from 1900 to
5000
Rule IS Of the commission promulgated
June e, under which the Triton, Thomas
Vile and Gulf road makes complaint Is

state in the conduct of their intrastate

WEATHER FAVORABLE.
Bureaus Weekly Crop Summary Is
Very Encouraging as to Cotton.

Very Encouraging as to Cotton.
WASHINGTON, Sept n.-Following is
the weather bureaus weekly summary Of
crop conditions:
The weather conditions of the week
ending September 9, 1901, have been gen.
orally favorable for gathering and matur-
ing late crops in nearly all sections east
of the Rocky mountains and on the Pa
cific slope. Rains retarded work in
Nebraska and South Dakota, while drouth
conditions continue in portions of Texas
and Oklahoma and rain is needed in the
central valleys. Conditions have been
particularly favorable in the south At
lantic and gulf districts. which have in
the four previous weeks experienced unu-
sual and heavy precipitation. Reports
from the principal corn producing states
west Of the Mississippi river indicate that
late corn Is maturing rapidly and that
cutting is in active progress in all sec
lions, being nearly completed in some
localities.
orally favorable reports are received from
states east Of the Mississippi river, with
the exception of Illinois. where corn was
deteriorated slightly and its maturity
FASTENED by dry weather.
The weather of the past week has been
more favorable for cotton. This staple Is
| opening rapidly IN all sections and pick
rust and shedding continue, however,
from the eastern and central districts Of
the cotton belt, and the top crop is short
in Georgia and Florida, while reports Of
damage by drouth are reported. I'M
provement is noted in parts of Texas, the
late crop having been stopped growing
and blooming in the drouth stricken dis
tricts, and is shedding and rusting badly
where rain fell.
Favorable reports regarding tobacco
continue from nearly all districts. Cut
ting and housing are in general progress
and a satisfactory crop is indicated al
though tobacco is light in North Caro-
lima and Wisconsin and curing very badly
in Maryland.
No Improvement in the condition Of ap-
pies is reported. This fruit is scarce in
nearly all sections and prospects for
poor yield are indicated. but in portions
of Arkansas and West Virginia good
crop is generally promised. In Missouri
and Indiana apples continue dropping and
many trees are dying in the first named
state. Owing to dry soil conditions plow-
ing has been retarded in Michigan, Wis
consin, Illinois, Missouri Oklahoma and
portions Of Kansas and the states Of the
Ohio valley; elsewhere, this work has
progressed rapidly. Some wheat has been
sown in Missouri. but the soil Is too dry
for termination and seeding has begun In
other districts where conditions were ia
vorable."

NO SETTLEMENT YET,
SAYS MR.. SHAFFER
THE STRIKE SITUATION REMAINS
ABOUT THE SAME AS FOR
SEVERAL DAYS.

PITTSBURG. Sept 1l.-Rumors that
the steel strike had been settled or was
about TO be were again in circulation.
The Amalgamated officers were pos
tive IN their denial that a settlement had
been effected. President Shaffer said that
the reports that the executive COMMITTEES
had ordered the advisory committee 70
arrange a settlement on the best terms
at once were untrue. No new PROPOSE
ton had been made by the association
OF steel workers he said and the situa-
ton was unchanged. He said there was
no truth IN the story that he was willing
70 resign or that the matter had been
touched upon during the committee meet
ing.
Concerning the trouble at McKeesport
and the statement that the Amalgamated
officials would be held responsible for acts
Of violence committed by the strikers,
Mr.. Shaffer said that II the men obeyed
instructions there would be no trouble
and any member Of the association resort
ing 10 violence would be Immediately
dropped from the association. Strikers
talked 20 this morning said they had
heard that the executive committee had
taken action 70 end the strike but they
did not know Il positively. Those seen
said they believed firmly that an order
for them 70 return 20 work would come
IN q few days and that BY Monday Of next
week az the latest they would be permit
ted 20 20 into the mills as union men. No
ofacial information TO this effect had
been received, they said. but nevertheless
they believed Il was true.

LONDON PRESS ON ANARCHY.
Papers Discuss Nothing But Condition.
of the President.

OI the FFCSluCnIs
LONn0N. Sept 1O.-The papers again
occupy themselves fully with President
McKinleys state and the anarchist peril.
The Daily Telegraph says
President Mckinley has wonderful
constitution, as has indeed been proved
by the incidents of his illness. The simple,
almost austere life he has led has helped
him at the crisis of his fate, while the
devotion and fortitude of his wife, with
whom as the president has said, he has
often conquered both difficulty and dan
ger have profoundly touched and inspir
ed the sympathetic pity of the world"
The Daily Mall remarks:
Both In this country and in the Uni
ted States public opinion has hitherto
been slow to recognize that the unwill-
ingness to act harshly toward political
fugitives cannot be permitted to condone
the crimes of ruffians who preach sedition
and plot assassination.
Even the latest anarchist outrage will
not have been in vain If 1T should deter
mine on both sides of the Atlantic
boundary between the exercise of nation
al hospitality and harboring national
pests"
The Daily News says:
THE cry of Down with the anarchists
raised in various qIarters-European as
well as American-but IL seems to us that
the worst possible way Of going. about
the business is to stir up public feeling on
behalf of vendetta against anarchism In
general. The greater the pressure, the
more violent the resistance"
The Daily Graphic writes:
There is one object In discussing the
anarchist propaganda which has been
too much neglected in the United States
and the continent, namely to treat the
advocacy of crime as itself criminal"
''In this country that principle is ac-
copied and acted upon. Probably II
score or so of philosophic anarchists were
sent 90 cool their heels. year in prison
they would grow considerably more eau
tious in the use of their words and their
disciples would begin to learn something
of the same reticence in using revolvers.'
The Morning Post believes that the
characteristic lesson of recent events is
that all governments are exposed to the
same danger. "It is not this or that par
ticular form of authority that Is aimed
at, but all authority. Wherever the anar-
chist sees authority or government he
strikes; no matter what its origin may
be- This is the lesson which Is being
driven home in the United States by the
brutal attack on President Mckinley.
''While 1t would appear that certain
measures may be taken by the United
States on its own account in order to
combat this new evil, II would be better
II all such measures were adopted in con-
cert by the great powers after an Inter
national conference. There is certainly
solidarity between all civilized nations
now that America is no longer outside
the circle of it's influence"

viii Not Fight Ratification of consti-
tuition, But Attack constltutlonalIty.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Sept n-LeWis
Z. Parsons. former district attorney for
north Alabama and whose father was
Republican governor Of Alabama, states
that he and other Republicans are not
going to attempt to prevent the ratifica-
ton OF the new constitution by the people
at the approaching election, but that the
matter VIII be taken to congress by them.
He states that the question OF whether
a state has adopted a constitution or not
rests with congress; that II is political
question. not one for the courts 70 decide.
He cites as authorities for this stand that
the United States supreme court held this
opinion with reference to the Kansas
matter before the war when there were
three alleged constitutions In that state
and that the same opinion after the war
was given in an action of the state OF
Georgia against the Federal authorities
in that state who were conducting reg
istration under the auspices Of Federal
bayonets. He states that the courts In
both instances decided that the question
OF whether or not state had adopted
a constitution was a matter for congress,
not the courts, to decide.
Mr.. Parsons is Of the opinion that the
grandfather clause" will be attacked
with vim in the halls OF congress.

TOLD TO BURN CITY
BY ANARCHIST PAPER
PATTERSON caS..N SAYS RESTS
rENsIAs SHOULD APPLY THE
TORCH TO TAMPA.

TAMPA, Fla, Sept. u.-Copies Of FL
Despertar. published by the Paterson
group of anarchists and sent out from
New York, are being freely circulated
among the Ressstencia leaders here to-
day. An article contained herein adj
vises that Resistencia burn the town and
leave IT as a means Of revenge for de-
portation of their leaders.
Another Resistencla man mysteriously
disappeared from Tampa this morning.
1t was another by the unfortunate name
of Rodriguez, who had just returned from
Key West. where he had conferences
with the deported strike leaders.
Resistencia has about $4,000 tied up IN
banks in this city and Rodriguez came
back with power to draw the money and
use it for the benefit of the Resistencia
organization.
This morning he visited the bank and
tried to draw the money, but there was
some flaw in the signatures and he was
sent out to have them corrected!
While walking along one Of the most
prominent streets he suddenly dlSap-
peared and no one has been able to ma
out where he is. No one save members
of Resistencia have been looking for
Rodriguez, but they cannot locate him
and declare that he has been seized BY
a vigilance committee and spirited away
as many others have been.
The money is still beyond the reach Of
the Resistencia and there is great con-
sternation in their ranks. A number OF
the members of Resistencia, becoming
tired of ldIeness, went to work at a fac
tory this morning and crowd Of organ
izers caught them and refused to allow
them to work They INDUCED in great
deal of talk and a few deputy sherins
were at once sent TO the scene and dis
persed the crowd with a little forcible
argument

lie WAR ON ANARCHISTS.

Though two presidents were assassip-
ated before the dastardly attack was
made upon President Mckinley, in neith-
er instance was the crime instigated,
plotted and carried out by any organiza-
ton or association formed for the pur-
pose of striking down the head OF the
government
In this important respect the shooting
of President Mckinley differs from the
assassinations of President Lincoln ana
President Garfield.
The deed of Czolgosz is in a different
category from those of Booth and Cult
eau. The former is an avowed anarchist
ana acted on the professed principles OF
the Infamous gang to which he belongs.
IT Is natural, therefore, that his deed
should arouse a general determination to
exterminate as far as possible the an
archist organizations which appear 70
have become numerous and strong In
this country.
From many quarters, from high officials
and from unofficial citizens from the
pulpit and the press, from every voice
and organ Of public opinion comes the
demand that every effort be made. to
crush the viper of anarchy which misses
and strikes in our land.
The spirits of all honest men are up
and their determination to carry on re-
lentless war against every form and de-
veiopment of the deviltry which Czolgosz
represents has already been demonstrate
ed. Every creature who has been heard
to approve the attempt upon the life or
the president has been severely handled
bv indignant citizens. A meeting OF an
archists. assembled to rejoice over the
Infamous act, was broken up. United
States senator who is so depraved as 70
proclaim his indifference to the foul crime
of the fiend who struck down the presi-
dent is held pilloried in the scorn OF the
public.
It IS a foregone conclusion that there
will be at the first opportunity legislation
both state and national against every
form of anarchist propaganda The plea
that this is a land of free speech cannot
avail to protect or excuse the advocacy
of assassination or the insdgation OF as
saults upon the government
whoever shall dare hereafter to sowe
seeds like those that took root IN the
mind of Czolgosz win be made to suffer
for 1t. Wherever they may meet anarch-
lists must be scattered and routed Wher-
ever they proclaim their damnable creed
whether 1t be done by one or many they
must be taught effectively that them
rawlings will not be tolerated here.
Some plan for the final expulsion OF
every proved anarchist should be devised
and enforced with all possible vigilance.
Against the mad dog and the rattle
snake every mans hand is forever raised
and no man who will not aid in crushing
out the spirit of anarchy is worthy 20
live in this country and enjoy its protec-
ton. Let the work be done thoroughlk
and mercilessly. Mercy in such cause
IS not only weakness; II is itself almost
a crime.

JUDGE DISMTSSES JURY.
Did Not Bring in Verdict According to
the Charge Of the Court.


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ca, Sept. H.
Quite a sensation was created in the SUI
perior court here yesterday afternoon by
the summary dismissal of a jury by Judge
Dick Russell for failure to return a YER
dict I'm accordance with his charge.
The Judge instructed the jury in sub
stance to acquit a negro boy who was
charged with larceny of a pistol, the
weapon being described in the bill of in
dictment as an Ivy & Johnson" pistol,
while the proof showed it to be an liver
Johnson pistol.
The proof, however, clearly made out
a case OF guilt and the jury quickly made
up a verdict of guilty. Notwithstanding
the judges instructions to acquit on the
technicality Of the indictment.
When the jury fled into court and their
verdict was announced Judge Russell
dismissed them from further service on
the court and told them tersely that they
were incompetent to serve as jurors, as
they seemed to know more law than the
court. g-l
The jurors are among the most highly
esteemed citizens of the county and their
summary dismissal with the severe stric-
lures of the judge has caused no little
talk.
