twelfth census of the manufacturing and
mechanical industries of the country. 1t

decade from 1890 to 1900. In that period the
total number of manufacturing establish
ments increased from 355, Ais TO 512. 726; cap
ital invested from $6.525, 156, 4S6 to 1854. 664.-

The address delivered by Hon. c. A.
Prouty, of Vermont, before the Illinois
Manufacturers Association is an interest
ing contribution to current discussion con-
corning railway freight rates. The ques-
ton is one of vital importance, the right
solution of which in the interests of the
people may involve ultimately the question
of government ownership or control of the
roads, for if the people cannot get stable,
just and equal rates in any other way hey
may, as a last resort. demand government
ownership of the roads. This is a remote
contingency. but it is possible.
Mr.. Prouty has been a member of the In
terstate-commerce Commission several
years, and has studied the , subject Of
freight rates at close range. His address
was a strong presentation of what he re-
CARDS as the most threatening danger in
the railway situation to-day, namely, high
and exorbitant freight rates. He admitted
that Just now and for some time past the
crying evil in railway management had
been discriminating rates, but he held that
the ultimate danger which confronts the
people is not preferential, but excessive
transportation changes, not discriminating
but extortionate rates. He based his argu-
ment on the fact that while the cost Of
transportation is steadily decreasing, while
tonnage is increasing and gross revenues
are gaining, freight rates are advancing.
He attributed this state of things to the
fact that by means of mergers, consolida-
tons and combinations competition is be-
ing gradually eliminated from the entire
railway system of the country. AS this
tendency probably could not be stopped
and as real competition could not be
secured by legislation the next best
thing was TO prevent the evil results
of noncompetition. To this end he ar
gued that the Interstate-commerce Com
mission should have authority to COM
pei the charging of just and reasonable
tariffs. Where there is some competent
tribunal" he said, clothed with the power
to inquire whether a railroad rate is Just.
and to make it just If found unjust, the
danger OF competition largely ceases If
railway rates are to be regulated at all
that authority is not conferred on the IN
terstate-commerce Commission it should be
conferred on some other tribunal. Con-
gress will probably come to that conclusion.

SCHOONERS COLLIDE
SAW EACH OTHER TWO MILES
APART
Casualty Seems to have been Due to
Negligence of the First officer of the
NOyO.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1g.-Although
sighting each other for nearly two miles
before meeting, the steam sChOOnerS
San Pedro and NoyU collided in the
open ocean thirty-tive miles northwest
of Point Reyes at 1890 o'clock yester-
day morning. As a result of the acct-
dent both vessels We're seriously dam
aged. The San Pedro was barely able
to reach port as water flooded the en-
gine room and hold, putting out the
fires and making it impossible to use
steam for any purpose The NOyO, less
seriously damaged, brought the San
Pedro into port
Captain Il. johnson of the San Pedro
says his vessel sailed from Eureka at
o'clock Thursday morning for this port.
Soon after midnight the light of the No
yo was made out by Second officer
Hedwell, who was in charge and he
blew one whistle as a signal The NOyO
was heard to sound an answering sig
nal of one whistle The San PedrO'S
helm was put to port. The Noyo, how
ever, had her helm to starboard and
headed for the other vessel striking
her on the port side of the stem, knock
ing it out of her and starting the plank
ing. Water Immediately poured into the
engine-roOm, and within a short time
there was sixty feet of water i'm the hold
The NOyO took a line and started back
with the San Pedro for this city.
The NOyO commanded by Captain
Johnson was in charge of First officer
Anderson at the time of the accident
He admits seeing the San Pedro and
giving an answering signal of one
whistle, but the foresail prevented MN
from making out the other vessel pro-
perly, and the collision resulted. The
NOyO was struck on the staTbOard side
of the stem and opened up. Several
feet of water flooded the forward part
of the steamer but was prevented by
a bulkhead from getting aft. Tarpau-
Inns were placed over the stems of both
steamers at sea. The Noyo had left
here Thursday afternoon for Fort
Bragg with a number of passengers
Captain johnson of the San Pedro
found it necessary to jettison 100000
shingles in order to tighten his vessel
and upon coming into the harbor an
attempt was made to beach the steam
er near the Fulton Iron Works, but it
was found impracticable She was
taken by the tug Monarch to the Mis-
sion flats.

Directors: :
Notice to Hunters.

ed April 25th, part pointer and part
setter. FROM personal experience 1
have found that this cross makes the
best hunting dog for this country.
They are strong and make good re-
trievers on land or water. They have
the advantage over the setter in hav-
ing short hair, so they need not be
clipped when working on pheasants. 1,
myself, have hunted over this breed of
dogs, for the last six years and would
have no other. In color, they are solid
liver. Have four dogs left, three hav-
ing been sold. Price, $1,000 per dog.

The miseres of disease have been
transformed into the JOYS of health by
science that is seemingly as mysterious
as it is efficacious. This science. which
is known as Weltmerism, as 1t takes it's
name from Prof. s. A. Weltmer. the
eminent scientist of Nevada Mo-, who
originated it. is now indorsed by the
press pulpit. and prominent men
throughout the country. This universal
Endorsement came about from the fact
that this wonderful curative power.
which cures disease at n distance Just
as readily as it does those cases that are
personally brought to Nevada for II leat-
ment, has been tested in the past two
years on more than 100, 900 cases of every
disease known to man or woman; some
acute, others chronic; some were cases
of women who suffered every agony from
diseases common to their sex, and
others from men who suffered debilita
tion from early indiscretions; in fact,
there is no affliction known that was not
tested by this wonderful method of
Magnetic Healing. and. ii is recorded
that in almost every instance relief was
quickly brought on and in more than 80
per cent permanent cure was effected.
So marvelously successful has been
Weltmerism in the curing OF diseases
that all skepticism has been dispelled
and scientists throughout the civilized
world proclaim that on account of Welt
merism it can now be said for the first
time in the history of the world that the
curing of disease is brought into the
domain of an exact science and in all
diseases, no matter what their nature,
cure can be effected. This wonderful
method goes to the very foundation of
the disease. and without the aid of drugs

ALABAMA CLAIMS COMMISSION.

AT the close of the civil war, when
our navy was perhaps the largest Of
any nation on earth. our Government
demanded from Great Britain compensa-
tion for damages inflicted upon our cont
merce by the privateers fitted out in
British ports in the interest of the Con-
federates The subject was placed in
ne hands of special commission for
Investigation and settlement.
This body was known as the Alabama
Claims Commission, and consisted of
hve members chosen, respectively. by
the President of the United States, the
Queen of England, the King of Italy, the
President of the Swiss Confederation.
and the Emperor of Brazil. In this
Commission the United States was
represented by Charles Francis Adams.
The total amount involved in the
claims was about twenty-six millions OF
dollars. of which sum over six million
was charged to depredations committed
by the privateer Alabama alone. The
privateers that figured in the contro-
versy were the Alabama, Shenandoah,
Florida. Tallapoosa. Chickamauga, Geor-
gia, Nashville. Sumter, Retribution.
Burton. Sallie, and Davis
The sessions of the commission ex-
tended over a period of several years
during which time immense volumes of
testimony were submitted for consider
alton. The final meeting of The Com
mission was held at Geneva, Switzerland,
December II, 1871, at which time the
following decision was rendered:
That Great Britain was responsible
for damages inflicted on our commerce
by three of the privateers only, the
Alabama. Florida, and Shenandoah; and
decreed that Great Britain should pay
to the United States Government the
sum of s15,500 900"
Some of the privateers were fitted cut
at Southern ports. England, of course
refused to pay for damages inflicted by
these.
One of the privateers, the Shenandoah,
Capt. James Waddell, sailed from Lon
don, England, October s, 1864. and car
ried on its operations among defenseless
whaling vessels on the Pacific ocean for
period of nearly six months after the
war closed. The vessel finally sur
rendered to the British Admiralty
Board, November s, 1865, and was trans
ferred to the American Government
