MERGER AND SUPREME COURT.
The Case Not Likely To Be Decided at the
Present Term

Washington, April 9,-Un1ess there is great
expedition in bringing the merger case to the
United States Supreme Court. and also in its
consideration there. the Supreme Court will not
pass the case at the present term. The
court will adjourn finally the latter part of
May, and Will not convene again until next Oc-
tober. OF the remaining time of this term only
the next three weeks will be devoted TO argu-
ment as the call of the docket will be suspended
on Friday. May l. 1t is not considered pos
sible that the papers can be put in shape and
the case prepared for consideration of the court
within that time The court, however, has some
times made special arrangement for the hear
ing of emergency cases. and this precedent
might be followed in the present case If desired
by all parties and If the court should consider
the exigency such to justify it. Owing. how
ever. to the Importance of the case. TO the diff
Guilty Of preparing for it, to the fact that the
law under which it must be tried is new. the
time for the summer adjournment is draw
ing near. it is not at all probable that
cluson be reached at this term. The law
allows thirty days for perfecting the appeal

MORE INTERSTATE COMMERCE. CASES
The Commission After a Number of Big
Western Railroads.

Washington April 9.--The Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day made a number Of important
railway lines respondents in proceedings involving
the legality of their local rates grain and grain
products. and in the of two of the roads the
class and commodity rates. 1t issued order re-
duiring the roads to file answers by May |.
In the case of the Chicago and Northwestern the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the Chicago Great
Western, the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul
the Wabash and the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific roads. the commission says II ap
pears that these lines made large advances
in rates between Missouri River points and
ST. Louis. other Mississippi River points. Chi
cago and intermediate destinations in the last
half of grain and grain products originating
west of Missouri; that such advances operated
to increase total rates such traffic from points
west of the Missouri River to Chicago the other
points and that high local charges between these
various points have been and kept in force by
such carriers.
In the case OF the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and the St Louis and San Francisco railways, the
commission says it appears that these roads put
in effect class rates between St. Louis and Texas
common points considerably higher than those in
force on like traffic at any time since the Interstate
Commerce law went into operation in 1887. except
Glasses and E. which rates respectively
one cent higher and one cent lower. and slightly
lower than on November 20. 1892 but three cents
higher than on December 4, 1893. It appears to
the commission that many special rates were in
creased about the same time. and that the rates to
Texas common points from numerous territories. in
Guiding practically all sections east of the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers had been materially in
creased by these advances in the rates from St
able and otherwise in violation OF the law Investi
cation of the legality of these rates; therefore, is
ordered Following the fling of the
hearing will be arranged at which represen atives
of various roads will be required TO attend.

Relative to the third contention which has
may be said 1t may be that such virtual
consolidation of parallel and competing lines OF
railroads has been effected. taking broad
view of the situation, is beneficial TO the public

tiVes which inspired the combination by which
this end accomplished were wholly lauda

formed by the individual defendants to protect
great interests which had been committed TO
their charge; that the combination was the

St. ThomaS's School.

This institution is the youngest of its kind In the city having been opened only one year ago last Sep tember, at the beginning of the school year But though the youngest, it seems most progressive While not for moment even before its corner laid, was it's doubted, the ind ca tions that it will soon be inadequate for St 1homass parish is rapidly growing, and though the youngest in the city be second in progress. The school is eightroom building in of nine sis ters of charity of which Sister Rachel is mother peror. Calculations made for the accommoda- ton of about 300 children at the opening of the building and to the pleasing surprise of the pastor, Rev Father Timothy NJ. Crowley, almost 400 regis tered, and before the school closed this number increased. At that time the Bishop street school close by, the public training school for teachers and the large registration at St ThOmas'S almost depopulated this bulding Another result that the training school moved to the Walsh school, now called the City Normal school there not being enough pupils in the Bishop street school to give sufficient opportunity for practice the pupil teachers. The merits of St ThOmas's were mme- dtately recognized by the pupils parents admitted it's advantages and the result larger registra- fion last September, that the building is now al most fully occupied. A class of fifteen was gradu- afed last June and all but few of those pupils now in the High school the others entering business schools larger class is expected graduate next June.
 St Thomas's is situated of the highest eIc- vations in the city, Beacon street It conseuuontv commands beautiful view of the citv SnacoI7s play grounds for the pupils surround it. and besides ms provision was made for the developuent that cannot fail to come with the years. when the land occupies was purchased. Pastor Crowley exnects St Ihomas's will be i'll the front rank of the eduro tonal institutions in the city in few years and reports from the High school regarding the n11niIs who graduated from it indicate that his expectations will be realized

St. patriCk'S S School.

At present the parochial school in tue Brooklyn dis conducted under the auspices of St 1atrcks church, is a modest concern. 1t is the smallest in the city, with the exception of the Lithuanian school, which is strictly parochial school On account the great undertaking St Patrck's parish has been engaged in for a long time in building one of the finest churches in the state, it was not deemed advisable to build parochial school at the same time The beginning was made by the pastor, the Rev Joseph M. Geeson, ill the building which was formerly the Bank street school, purchased by St Patrick's parish and moved to its present location on Porter street For some time it known as the Lyceum, and was used for various other pur- poses by the parish.
 Three years ago the school opened with eight teachers. Sisters of Charity, i'll charge. Four grades taught besides kindergarten in which there 1}4 pupils. There arc five other rooms which are given up to the other pupils 36O in number.
 The results have been satisfactory to everybody concerned and interested in the school. The con- still in it's infancy, but it is the general pectation that in short time, probably only few years before fine building will be started which will compare with any of the best school buildings in the state The school is directed by Sister Ger trude. mother superior.
