ularly the conditions prevailinfi in the Seventh district. He said that the state cannot lay her hands on common carriers that cross the state lines, while the inter state commerce commission can merely recommend that the railroads make more reasonable freight tariff with no power to force compliance. He said he was in favor of a measure to bring the grasp ing corporations to terms, and II elected to congress would introduce plli pro viding that upon violation of the freight regulations by railroads either the inter state commerce commission or the ship per could recover damages to the extent of s5o00. or such greater amount as would enforce obedience

eattIeships WlII Depart.

Paris March 13.-The Petit Parisienne publishes a dispatch from St. Petersburg saying that Russian squadron compos7 ed of the battleships Ostiabia, Slava and Alexander ILL, the cruisers Dmiltri Don- skoi and Aurora and a number of torpedo boats and submarine vessedls will go to the far east in May. The two submarines are building at Port Arthur, the corre- on the Neva.
 Port Arthur, Friday, March 11.--From a Russian correspondent Of the Associ- ated Press. )-.f inspected erley ihA points on wh l the fire .he enemy was centered, particularly during the last bombardm t. Some building were slight ly damaged.
 Lying safely at anchor in the two basins were the vessels of the Russian fleet, not one of which sustains injury worth mentioning This inappreciable result followed four hours of fierce cannonading during which the enemy fired from a great distance in order to throw shells over the hill into the town and basins. It was noticed that all the shells did not explode. We are convinced that 1t will be impossible for the Japanese to take Port Arthur.
 Aware of lnvuInerability.
 It is believed the Japanese are aware of the invulnerability of the port to att tack and the small damage they cause by smelling. Their object is believed to be not so much seriously to attempt to re- duce the port at this time, as to impress Europe and America in order to facilitate the placing of a loan and to show the Chinese the power of the Japanese fleet. and gradually to change the passive but protesting attitude of the Koreans to their favor Reports have been published with a Tokio date line of most sympath- etic relations which have sprung up be- tween Korea and Japan, and the Ofsta- siatscher publishes the following;
 "The Korean emperor compliments the emperor of Japan on the success of Port Arthur siege and commands his faithful subjects to give all possible assistance to the Japanese army.
 His majesty has sent gifts of cigar cites to the soldiers"
 Russians are asking jokingly if the emperor sent matches also.

Speaker Is Vehement.


 The speaker was vehement in his charge of abuse by the railroads, saying that no remedy was provided for the shipper who lost his goods in transport, when shipped under bill lading containing the usual ex- ceptioT clause, merely because each raii- road disclaims all responsibility Tor freight after it is received by another road. MT Lusk said he would make the receiver responsible for all freight ana thus protect the poor man who IS not aole to carry on a lawsuit against half a dozen railroads He cited figures, show ing the difference in freight rates be- tween Alabama and Georgia points. He attacked the Southern and the Alabama Great Southern in vigorous style mel dentally firing a shot or two at MT. Bur natt as saiding and abetting such prac- tices. ,,
 MT. Lusk said that the only relief Tor exorbitant rates lay in an act or congress and said that he advocated law 10 re- o,ira railroads and common carriers to settle in 30 days for freight damaged or he fined an amount double the value of the goods lost or damaged. He would raise the limitations on suing corporations or nersons in the United States courts and would prohibit suit to be instituted for less than 5000 in the United States courts, instead of not less than 5000 as The only way tO dttOhAPiA7A NttSoS reforms. said MT. Lusk, is to run the railroad lawyers out of congress, shot that called forth loud applause from his supporters.
 The speaker then took up the question of passes. franks, and other privileges enjoyed by his opponent as result of his connection with the railroads. MT. Lusk charged that Mir Burnett was drawing mileage from the government and riding on passes which permitted him to pocket the profits. He also charged that MT. Bur nett was using his railroad passes to come down to Gadsden and attend to his law practice when he ought to be attend ine to business in Washington. Why" said the speaker. The leaves the halls of congress and comes down to Cherokee county and draws s15 day for trying a cow case for one of his railroads" MT. I,usk said that his opponent had fought Reuben F. Kolb with him on the question of cent mileage in Alabama and now he was tawing 2O-cent mileage without a murmur.

 MT. Lusk then explained what he had hoped to do with his redistricting bill and said that while he had been accused of causing much confusion he had no trou- ble in understanding the bill It had at least resulted in givinR Alabama more
