President Gives Consent.

Washington. June AUST before Attor-
ney General Knox left Washington a few
days ago he called on the President and
told him that he had been rendered the
appointment of United Gtates senator to
succeed Mr.. Quay and that if the Presi-
dent was willing he would accent. rhe
President told him that while it was true
that probably no other man in the coun-
try could quite fill the position as attor-
nev general as he had filed it, yet he
believed that his services in the senate
would be exceptionally valuable, not only
to the state of Pennsylvania but to the
country rhe President said that during
the next session or two of congress 1t was
a fair assumption that there would be
considerable constructive legislation on
the subject of trusts and combinations or
one character or another, and on work
of that character Mr.. Knox would be per-
haps more valuable than any other man
could be.
The President is greatly pleased that
Mr.. Knox will accept the position The
latter probably will not resign as attor-
hey general until congress eonvenes next
December.

gold certificates. which are said to be
counterfeits similar to those passed last

The bills are declared by federal de-
tectives to be very dangerous counter
feits. that ordinarily would not be de-
tected The front of the bill is a good
imitation of real 500 gold certificate,
but the portrait of Senator Benton is
rough. In place Of the yellow silk threads
on the back, the maker of the money
had smeared the design with red ink.

the Portland mine at Victor by order of
Adjutant General Bell probably will be
the means OF reaching the federal courts
with a case to test the power of Governor
Peabody to vest in the military absolute
power in the district declared to be under
martial law.
The Portland Gold Mining company be-
ing a foreign company, incorporated un-
der the laws of Iowa, 1t Is stated by
eminent lawyers that therefore any act
affecting 1t may be reviewed by the Uni
ted States courts.
James F. Burns of the Portland Min
ing company is in Denver and Is cioseted
with his attorneys, who it is said are
preparing papers which probably will be
filed in the United States court tonight
asking for a restraining order to prevent
further interference on the part of the
state military authorities with the oper-
alton of the Portland mine
Mr.. Burns 1t is further stated, will also
ask that the military be withdrawn from
the vicinity of his property in Victor and
that he be allowed to protect his men
when they go back to work.
The military authorities are credited
with saying that when the Burns In

made to arrest Mr.. Burns himself on
criminal charges that he melted riot. 1t
is not claimed that there Is any ground
for an accusation that Mr.. Burns per-
sonally incited riot, the implication being

RAILROADS MUST
CARE FOR FRUIT
Are Liable for Damages through
Neglect
OPINION OF COMMISSION
Case Is That of Georgia Peach Grow
ers' Association Against Atlantic
Coast Line and
Others.
OPINION OF COMMISSION

washington, June 9.-The interstate
commerce commission today In an opln-
ion by Commissioner Fifer announced its
decision in the case of the Georgia
Peachgrower's association against the
Atlantic Coast Line Railway company
and others, involving the liability
of the carrier for damage to fruit
through negligence, as well as the qnes-
tion of proper freight rates.
The commission holds that the trans
portation companies are responsible Tor
damage to fruit through negligence OF
the carrier to the full amount of the IN
jury sustained, without regard to the
valuation placed on It, 1t was further
held that the regulations whereby the
freight rate on peaches and other fruit
from Georgia points is increased In pro-
portion to the car load valuation liked py
the shipper is unreasonable and unjust.
The charge of $50 per car imposed by the
New York New Haven and HARTFORD
company on fruit from New York TO
Boston, the commission holds to be un-
reasonable and unjust and should be
follows:
Upon all the facts and circumstances
including on the one hand the difficulties
and liability to loss attending the pro-
duction and shipment of peaches. and on
the other hand the large percentage Of
cars loaded above the prescribed mimi
mum weight for corloads, for which ex-
cess no charge is made by the carriers,
fIa al oh pf n service
which involves fast time and prompt de-
livery at destination, the carriage OF
large amount of paying freight, return OF
cars without loads, and many other things
relating to the highly perishable nature
of the traffic, the commission holds that
neither the minimum carload weight nor
the transportation charge established by
the defendants engaged in the carriage of
peaches in refrigerator cars from Georgia
points to New York based upon rate
of 81 cents from Atlanta to New York,
is unrea sonable or unjust"

Philadelphia. June
Snox. of pittsburg

Philadelphia, June 9.-Philander c.
Knox. of Pittsburg attorney general Of
the United States, was selected today to
fill the seat in the United States senate
made vacant by the death of Matthew
Stanley Quay. He will accept and serve
by appointment of Governor Pennypacker
until March T. the date of the expiration
of the late senator's commission. Unless
political complications should arise as a
result of teday's action. he will be elected
for the full term by the Legislature which
meets in January 1t Is expected that
Attorney General Knox will remain in
the cabinet until December.
The selection of Attorney General Knox
was q surprise in political circles. Di-
rectly after the death of Senator Quay
his name was mentioned for the vacancy,
but as no one came forth to support it.,
very little was heard of his candidacy
during the past week. His name was not
rose. who. as chairman of the republican
state committee, along with Israel w.
Durham the Philadelphia leader, had the
naming of Qnay's successor.
Frick Works for Knox.
Yesterday afternoon, however Henry
c. Frick of Pittsburg, a director of the
United States Steel corporation, came to
this city and formally announced that
the attorney general was a candidate for
the place, and that he came here in Mr..
Knox's interest, AS the leaders had de-
cided that Allegheny county, in which
Pittsburg is situated was to have the
place, he thought the leaders could have
no objection to the attorney general. This
caused considerable agitation in the Pitts
burg delegation. which already had nam d
four men for the vacancy. At first 1t was
expected that MIR. Knox wiuld be OPP
posed, but after series of conferences
the Piitsburg delegation accepted Mr..
Knox, and the public announcement of
their action soon followed.
Whether the selection of Attorney Cen
ersl Knox as Mr.. Quay's successor will
| cause complications to arise in the party
In this STATE 8 difficult to say. It is known
that the aEreen ent on Knox is not salts
factory to all interests within the organ
ization.
