COMPLAINT OF THOMPSON.
Commerce Commission Be
 gins Hearing.

Pittsburg, May 1s.-The complaint of Charles A. Thompson of Irwin, Pa. against the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, involving the alleged failure of the railroad to furnish cars for coal ship ments when other shippers were receiv- ing cars, was taken up by Hon. J. c. Clement of the Interstate Commerce Commission today.
 The complainant is engaged in mining coal at Irwin and Penn Station and ships to various States. It Is alleged that the complainant at divers times notified the company to furnish the cars needed, but the cars were not provided, but at the same time cars were being furnished to competitors. In it's answer, the Pennsyl- vania Railroad alleges that the plaintiff is not regularly engaged in mining coal, but is a druggist.
 During the anthracite coal strike last year. 1t alleges the plaintiff and others purchased the right from farmers to dig coal. and, after hauling 1t to some siding of the company, loaded by hand from the wagons into cars.
 At first, it is claimed, the railroad granted requests for cars for such ser- vice, but later refused to furnish the cars. It denies, however, that 1t furnish ed cars to competitors of the plaintiff similarly situated.
 The case is the first to bring up the point of a railroads right to stipulate just how material shall be loaded.

INDIGO THE OLDEST DYE.
Something of the Way It is Pro-
 duced

San Salvador Correspondence of Pittsburg
 Gazette.
 Probably the oldest dyestuff known to men is indigo. It might be too much to say that Noahs garments were colored with it when he took his historic cruise. but 1t is hardly to be doubted that Jo- seph's coat of many colors owed at least good part of it's brilliance to the use of this common article. Indigo has been found in the Egyptian pyramids. in the ruined cities of Babylonia and In the shops and houses of Pompeii. It Is the product of many different plants, is found in nearly all countries and has for untold ages been used by the savage and the enlightened alike.
 And yet at the present time indigo is produced in commercially important quantities in but two sections of the gIobe-Central America and India, in the last strongholds of an industry that was
 once worldwide. The chemist has sue ceeded in improving on the rounda bout
 process of nature to such an extent that
 CT. has been almost driven from the bus mess.
 That 1t still survives in India and Cen tral America Is due in both cases rather
 to the demand of native tribes, who will accept no substitute, however excellent, than to the requirements of civilization, although a considerable quantity Is still exported for special purposes to the Uni l ted States and Europe.
 It is said that there are 150 species of | indigo producing plants known to the botanists. Only one is cultivated in Gen. tral America and that Is known scien- | tifically as "isatis tinctoria" but popu- | larly as giquislete. It is a shrubby an nual, growing two or three feet in height with pinnate leaves of dull bluish
 green. It is the nearest approach to a weed native to these attitudes, and. to- | gether with wild ginger. gives consider | able trouble to the owners of fruit plan | tations. It produces long, beautiful ra- cemes of pale red flowers, which In turn | give way to hundreds of tiny seeds. The indigo planter sows his seed about April l in drills one foot apart. From
 that time forward constant wedding and | hoelng are necessary to keep down the | growth of ginger. reeds. ferns and grasses | that would otherwise retard the growth of the crop and further injure it by the J necessity of being cut with it.

MUST RESPECT UNCLE SAM.
Russia Cannot Keep Manchuria's
 Trade to Itself.

Washington, May 19.-Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations respecting the present domination of Manchuria, II can be stated that this Government is pre- pared to insist to the end supon commer- cial privileges for United states mer- chants in Manchuria equal to those en- loved by the merchants of other nations, Russia included.
 The State Department has pledges from Russia that even in the event of Man churia passing under Russian control our commerce and trade privileges will not suffer and it will hold that our commerce would suffer if Russian goods can enter Manchuria free while United States goods are forced to pay duty.
 This attitude of the State Department will, it is believed, go far toward reas- surfing Southerr cotton interests which have been alarmed at the possible loss of their best market.

Washington, May 19.-Great Britain has decided to accord China tfIe same terms in the settlement of the Boxer indemnity as those accepted by the United States
 The State Department has been in- formed that the English Charge at Pe- kin has signifed the willingness of his government to accept payment on the sil- yer basis for term of years. reserving under bond the right to receive payment of any deficiency that might exist should 1t hereafter be decided that the payments should have been made on a gold basis.

 Reagan Speaks Briefly.
 Mir Reagan spoke but briefly after this and an adjournment was taken until af- ternoon. Immediately the mobbing or General Gordon was resumed with re- doubled energy. One old soldier intoxi- cated by his enthusiasm and few incl dentals sank on his knees before the Gen eral and would have hugged him had not the bystapders interfered.
 The oration of Judge Rogers consumed the entire afternoon session. His address which was remarkably well delivered was gallant success.
 The convention will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The Sons of Vete- rams met at noon in the Crescent Theatre, but transacted no business beyond listen ing to a number of welcoming addresses and appointing various committees.
 The feature of the evening was the ball given by the Washington Artillery at their armory. It was select affair in honor of the visiting sponsors and maids of honor and was a distinct social suc- cess.
