During last nights session the St Louis
Coursing Club Informally discussed the
future of coursing, especially in view Of

the meeting that next season would not

Senator Tllman made $4,000 as commits

was Governor; with getting part of $50,

do otherwise than notice these statements

summoned the representatives Of these

would cause reduction of ten per cent

roads of that system. The Seaboard rep
resentatives claimed that on their sys-

Yesterday the Corporation Commission
issued an order requiring the Seaboard to
adopt the standard rate on all its branch
