INJUNCTIONS ARE ASKED FOR.
Fourteen Railroads Before the Federal
Court of Appeals for Violation of
Interstate Commerce.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-The argument for
a temporary injunction restraining
fourteen railroads from cutting rates
in violation of the Sherman and the
Interstate commerce acts, was begun in
the federal court of appeals today,
Judge GrOSscup of Chicago and Judge
Phillips of Kansas City, sitting on the
bench.
General Counsel Dickinson of the ILL
nois Central road, took up most of the
afternoon with a nargument o nbehalf
of the railroads. He cOntended hat the
governments method of procedure in
this case was too radical. Judge Gross
cup interrupted the argument by ask
ing: "If a majority of the shippers
along a certain line are Disseminated
against and driven out of business are
not hundreds of farmers along the same
line injured by having to sell their
products to only one purchaser"
THAT point seems to lie outside of
this bill" said Dickinson, though
admit the wrong is sufficiently set
forth as to grain shippers"
But who "a assert the right of all
these farmers if not the government
under the interstate commerce act?"
asked Judge Grosscup.
They can assert it themselves" was
Dickinson's reply. They can apply for
an injunction against repetition of the
wrong"
rs not that the very ground on
which the government interferes? Does
not the attorney general ask %injunc-
lions here so that all these individuals
will not be compelled to bring separate
actions?" inquired Grosscup.
Dickinson did not answer this ques-
ton directly.
After a brief address by District At
torney Bethea, both sides were asked
TO submit printed briefs of their argu-
ments. A decision may not be announc-
ed for several weeks.

GREAT DAMAGE FROM RAINS.
Many Streams Out of Their Banks
and Much Property Damaged
in the Mississippi Valley.

Louisville, Dec. 16.-fIeavy rains in
The Mississippi valley, which have con
tinued in some instar ces since last
Thursday, have sent many streams out
of their banks, with consequent dam
ages to railroad and other property.
Washouts are reported at several
points on the Illinois Central. The
tracks of the Louisville G. Nashville are
torn up in various places. The town of

RENDEZVOUS OF THE FLEET.
Vessels Will Be Placed at Ports With
in Easy Range of Venezuelan
Coast During Holidays.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE secretary
of the navy, in arranging the DISPOSE
ton of Dewey's fleet, during the holt
days, will arrange so as not to arouse
suspicion unnecessarily by dispatching
a large naval force to Venezuelan wat
ers. 1t is not likely a man-of-war will be
sent to La Guayra, the feeling being
that it might at this time cause uneasi-
ness among the allied powers, as we'll
as offer encouragement to Castro to
maintain his defiant attitude. On the
other hand, the situation is such that
both state and navy department officials
are agreed that it will not be unwise to
rendezvous the fleet in ports within easy
range of the Venezuelan coast.

Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, Dec. 15.-
Castle Liberador and Fort Salano, the
ancient wooden fortress defending the
entrance to this harbor, were demolish-
ed by the British cruiser Charybdis and
the German cruiser Vineta Saturday af-
ternoon in a bolnbardment which be-
gan at 5 O'Clock and continued for As
minutes.
Both forts used all the guns in an
swering the fire, but they were quickly
silenced.
A number of soldiers defending the
fort were wounded.
The Venezuelan commander of Castle
L~iberador and his men stuck to their
posts during the bombardment, and
were captured by a landing party of
British marines. They are now prison
ers on board the Charybdis. The site
OF the forts is now occupied by marines.
None of the shells from the cruisers
struck the town of Puerto Cabello. The
people, however, were greatly frighten-
cd, and fled to the hills back of the
town.
The British and German cruisers ar
rived at Puerto Cabello yesterday
morning at Z o'clock, searching for
Venezuelan gunboats. The two cruisers
sent their boats into the inner port.
but finding no gunboats the boats re-
turned.
The captain of the British marchant
steamer Topaze, which was sliced by
the mob here last Wednesday, then Wis
tied the British commodore on board
the Charybdis and lodged a protest
against the violation of his ship. The
British captain returned an hour later
with a detachment of SO marines, who
took charge of the Topaze. The popu-
lace was greatly excited at this incident
and raised the cry, ITO arms!" but
there was no disorder.
The British commodore then sent a
message to the authorities at Puerto
Cabello demanding immediate satisfac-
ton for the action of the mob in hav-
ing hauled down the British flag from
The Topaze, saying that if this salts
was not forthcoming in two
hours, at 8 o'clock, the fortress and the
customs house would be bombarded.
On the receipt of this demand the au-
sent a message to President
Castro asking for instructions.
A committee of the merchants of
Puerto Cabello then approached the
American consul here, petitioning him
to intervene. The consul accepted this
mission and visited the cruisers, but
he could obtain no alteration in the
decision of the allies.
At a quarter before 5 a reply was
received from President Castro, who
authorized the chief official here to give
the British commodore ample satisfac-
ton. Before the answer could be COM
municated by the American consul TO
the allied commanders the hour stip-
ulated for its receipt had arrived, and
the cruiseres Immediately opened fire
on the fortress. The fire was returned
from Fort Salano and Castle Liberia
dor, but the Venezuelan guns were soon
silenced. While the firing continued
there was intense excitement in this
port. Every house in town was closed.

LITTLE GIRLS WORK AT NIGHT
Chairman Gray of Strike Commission
Said Pennsylvania Should For
bid It By Law.

Scranton, Dec. 17.-When the coal
strike commission met today Chairman
Gray opened the proceedings by SAYING
the commissioners were impressed with
the spectacle of the little girls who yes
terday testified they worked all night.
He said the citizens of the common
wealth should not let the incident pass
without taking some steps to have the
legislature of Pennsylvania seriously
consider the enactment of a law that
Will forbid the employment of children
at night.
AT the suggestion of the commission
a statement of the a of the faith
ers of the girls was presented. One
earned more than 81 900 last year and
another over 5000.
Inc miners sprung another surprise
by calling individual operator John G..
itaddock OF Wilkesbarre. president of
the Plymouth Coal company to the
witness stand. Haddock explained the
miners ton, which runs from 200 to
5,zVO pounds. was fixed years ago so an
employer could get out of a ton 2.24O
pounds of pure coal above the size of a.
pea. Pea and all sizes below was waste.
regarding the prices of coal, Haddock
said the middleman in New York are
paving 81 and S12 per ton.
Judge Gray-"Do they pay the opera
tors that price?"
Possibly, was the reply.
President Gompers followed Had
dock, testifying as an expert on the
Grade union movement. He created a
stir when he implied that coal COM
panies are responsible for bringing i'm
migrants to the coal regions. When one
OF the lawyers for the coal comnanies
asked him if he knew it from personal
knowledge he said he could prove it if
necessary.
The miners made another ATTEMPT to-
day to have the commission admit tes-
timony to show the anthracite coal-car-
rying roads charge ex%tortionate and
discriminating freight rates. and that a
monopoly exists in the anthracite in
dustry which keeps wages at a low
level. The commission again decided
the evidence must be limited to the
scope OF the commission, and that /. it
takes up claims made in evidence pro-
posed to be submitted, the iustifable-
ness of the miners demands would still
remain. The miners had not finished
their case when the commission ad-
jcurned.
