THE FIGHT FOR NICARAGUA.
Senator. Morgan and Colleagues ars
 Working for Early Action.

New Orleans, March lS.-A special to The sTimes-Democrat from Washington says:
 The friends of the Nicaragua Canal de- cided today that they would take definite steps for the early consideration of a htll recently reported to the Senate. This sentiment crystallixed during q meeting of the Committee on Interoceanic Canais, whsn Senator Mitchell or Cregun, hy . formal vote. was requested to make the necessary representations to the Senate leaders and to report to the committee
 The meeting Of the conimittee this
 morning was one of the most harrAcnious that has been held. Senator Hanna and Senator Morgan had been exchanging ''cumpliments' during the last few days, and t was feared that acute conditions would result.
 The majority of the. Republican Sena- tors favor some canal Legislation at the present session, and inclined to a canal along the Nicaragua route. The follow ing of Senators Hanna. Pritchard and Kttridge have in opposition to legislation for the Nicaragua route will be more than offset in the opinion of Senator Morgan and his colleagues. by the large element on the Democratic side which favors Me- aragua, because of the conviction that 1t is the best route and because the last Democratic platform declared in favor of Nicaragua.

THE HANNA BOOKLET.
Ohio Man Not Pleased by the Activ<
 ity of His Friends.


 New York. March 1S-A Post Wash 1ngton special says:
 Senator Scott of West Virginia and some other members of the Republican feet to boom Senator Hanna as a candi- date for President in 1904 The Ohioan himself is far from pleased with this "previousness." He believes that Presi~ dent Roosevelt will be nominated by ac- clamation. and unless the uriexpecte1 happens the appearance of any other candidate before the Republican National Convention will be regarded as something in the nature of joke. He Is naturally not anxious to be placed in an embar- rassing position through the weil-mean-s ing but ill-advised activity of men who have been identified In the last nve years with the Republican organizations. At the same time he has not been successful in calling on his friends
 Somebody Is putting money into the Hanna boom. On Saturday local paper printed a half-page picture of the Ohio Senator entitled '"The Man or the Hour, with an inscription underneath indicating that he was forging ahead as the Re- publican candidate In 1904
 On the same day local negro weekly printed his picture with a column of de- scriptive matter. plainly contributed from outside the office. dwelling upon the Senator's availability.
 An interview is published with Harry M. Doughertv of Columbus. O., furnish ed by a literary bureau. MT. Dougherty speaks of his astonishment at the amount of talk favorable to Hanna's candidacy. which he has heard in New York and in other parts of the East, and says that If the Ohio Senator will consent to become a candidate he will have the united and enthusiastic support of Ohio Republicans. This in spite of the fact that Senator Foraker has already public lv announced that he is for Roosevelt in 1904
 1t Is said here that behind the memSers of the National Commute in this move ment are the representatives of certain large business interests. who are not al- together pleased with the course of the administration and who would be glad to see Republican sentiment diverted from President Roosevelt. Senator Han mas name appears to be the only one at nresent available for that purpose

 OF THE |. & N. Returned by Federal
 Grand Jury. ALLEGED Violation of the Interstate
 Commerce Law. Vice President Hines Says the Spirit
 of the Statute Has Been Con- served by This Adjust msnt of Bats. T.

Louisville. Ky. March 1s.-An indlct.
 ment returned against the Louisvills ana Nashville Railroad by the federal grand jury was made public today. It charges a violation of the Interstate Commerce. law; the offense consisting in the roaA charging less for the transportation ok corn in carload lots than the Interstate Commerce law prescribes.
 There are two counts in the bill which sets forth that on November II. 1sal. the LouisviIle and Nashville and the Nash. vile. Chattanooga and St. Louis RaiiroaA operating as common carriers throuess the States of Kentucky. Tennessee and Alabama and ipto Georgia. made rate to s. Zorn q Co.,. of this city. on lekooo pounds of corn shipped from Atlanta to Louisville by the roads named. This rate made the total freight charge on this lot $sN.4 O. when 1t should have been d. 1u.so. The difference or rebate amounted to cents. being 2l cents when 1t shouId have been 24 cents.
 The other count sets forth that on the same date on another lot of 46.0o0 pounds shipped by the same roads to Atlanta. total freight charge of s117.so was made when 1t should have been s1s4.4o. this also being three cent rebate.
 The witnesses named in the indictment are H. F. Smith. A. s. Dodge. M. P. washburne of the Southeastern and Mis- w. Hudson. Trafiic Manager of the l.. H. and St. L.; Joseph A. Bushfeld and John He Green.
 Concerning the accusation on which this indictment is based. vice-Presfdent Hines of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. said:
 "The indictment alleges that this com pany has violated; the law by charging q rate oz zlc Der 100 pounds on grain from Louisville to Atlanta, when tarfff rate was a cents The fact Is that a pro. portional rate of, Sc per 100 pounds less
 than the local tarif rates has for a great many years been applied by all railroads operating from Louisville and Cincinnati to southwestern territory upon grain originating at points west of St. Louis and re-shipped from Louisville or Cin- cinnati. and the shipments referred to in the indictment were of this character The lesser rate on such re-shipmcnts is an open and public rate, applicable and applied alike to all.
 This adjustment, whereby the less rate is allowed on re-shipments, originating at points west of St. Louis. certainly conforms to the real purposes of the in- tersate commerce law, which are publi- city and equality. There has been neither secrecy nor unjust discrimination in its application. I apprehend that we will have no difficulty in showing that there has been full compliance with the law"

ANOTHER RACE FOR THE POLE.
ZiegIer Has Out Second Expedition
That Nav Beat Baldwin.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun from New York yesterday says: Re-
gardless of what may or may not be done
by Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, with whose re-
cent work in Arctic seas he is far from
satisfied, William Ziegler of Brooklyn,
whose hope is that an expedition under his
auspices will be the first to reach the pole,
admits that there Is now far on its way
a second expedition equipped by him. 1t
has orders to proceed practically indepen-
IDENTIFY of Baldwin, and to make every pos
sible effort to reach the goal. This is what
is known as the Fritbiof expedition, which
was supposed to have been sent out merely
as relief for Baldwin, but which Mr..
Ziegler admits is in reality practically dis
tinct, and in itself fully equipped for a
dash for the pole.
Baldwin declares in his messages to Mr..
Ziegler that he is still undaunted, but II
begins to appear that ii will either be a
race for the poie between him and the
new leader or that the glory will be for
another than himself if the pole is reached.
Who this new leader is Mr.. Ziegler de-
clines to make known, contenting himself
with the statement that he is a competent
man in whom he has great confidence.

sion to newspaper reports of the merger of
certain parallel and competing lines Of
railroads and citing the section Of the con-
stitution prohibiting such action.
Inc governor requested an investigation
and proceedings to enforce the constitution

Chairman McChord replied that the gov

supreme Court upheld the validity of the
section In preventing the consolidation Of
the Louisville with the Chesapeake and
ONO. This action was begun In 1895 by

in question provides:
