 Washington, D. C. August $.
 Much interest has been aroused In this city by the discovery of certain in- teresting facts concerning the Inter state Commerce Commission.
 It has recently come to light that tnis bodv ia not devoting itself entirely to the enforcement of the interstate com . merce laws. Some of it's enorts at least, are directed toward an attempt to offset the testimony given before the Senate Committee on interstate com merce during recent hearings. The great bulk of that testimony was so strongly against government regulation of freight rates that a serious blow was dealt to the cause for which the inter state commerce commission has been Ia boring for some years-that is' Tn m crease of power for itself.
 The Interstate Commerce Commission has been continually advocating the ne- cessity of increased power, even going SO far in 1900 as to instruct its secretary to co-operate with various business or- Eanizations to such an end.
 Of late ft has transpired. however, that the commission has sent certain pr. Gitterman on e secret mlssioh uU Europe, 1t being understood that ne VIII investigate railway conditions Tn Ior- eign countries. Since such work as tnis Js not A part of the commissions outy In enforcing the interstate commerce laws. it Is believed by those who are acnuainted with the matter that Dr. GItterman has been sent abroad In an sttempt to secure some data contrary to the testimony given by Professor Meyer haTore the Senate Committee during it's recent hearings, Professor Meyer dealt with railway conditions in foreign countries in which the government reg ulation is practiced, and his testimony has proved one of the largest checks in the Interstate Commerce Commission campaign for increased power.
 It has also come out that Frank Bar w characterized as special agent or inc Interstate Commerce Commission Ieft fin June on a secret mission to the Southwest Nothing definite as to MT. Rarry's mission can be learned, but cer- tain facts which have been brought 10 u0ht make it seem probable that ms work is along the same line as that or pr. GittermaHs .,-
 Mir, Barry has In the past been the Secretary of the Interstate commerce Law Convention. E. F. Bacon peins tbe chairman of the executive commit tea of this organization. During the .aaaions of Congress Mir. Barry has been employed by the Interstate Com meree Law Convention as special agent in Washington. When 1t was insinuated last winter that MT. Ba- cons organization had been co-operat- ing with the Interstate Commerce Cop- mission to aid the latter in it's cam paign for more power MT.

nished by persons who knew her. Pe- ter Spahr declared: she was mascu- line person, alike rough in appearance and character. She was small. heavy. and strong, with bfisties on the end of her nose. and she both drank whiskey and swore.'
 | Against Spahrs evidence can be pro- duced the Custis painting. of the bat
 tie of Monmouth, which pictures Molly as a slender, graceful, rather tall young
 woman-and the picture shows no bristles.
 The iconoclasts who opposed the
 erection of the monument produced the following evidence against her.
 By Polly McClesster, Molly Pitcher's s
 granddaughter: Molly drank grog
 and used language not the most polite;
 but she was a kind hearted woman and helpful to the sick and needy" By William Parks. friend of Molly: Molly drank and swore." By Harriet Nj. Foulke, who knew Molly well and employed her to work in her family: Molly was vulgar, profane, drunken old woman. I often
 remonstrated with persons who wanted to write laudatory stories about her and told them the truth" On this evidence Pennsylvania has adjudged Molly unworthy. Undoubtedly she would not have graced the meetings of the D. X. R., or | the D. R., or the Colonial Danes, but Molly's admirers are indignant over the attacks on her reputation and are seeking proof to defend her.

Cheap factory products car ry as a concomitant course low wages for the artisan, and low wages for the artisan means curtailed consump- ton of farm products. Curtailed con sumption of farm products results in reduction in the price thereof, while a reduction in prices means loss to the producer of cloths, of furniture. of carpets, of farm machinery, of build ing materials and every other article of rural consumption. All this is but another name for stagnation and panic which has marked every experiment with tariff for revenue only from the beginning of our history until now The disastrous results of free trade have not followed each and every ex- pertinent with free trade because they were desired by the men who advocated the measures that produced them, but because the measures were unwise however learned. however patriotic and however honest the men who enacted them A few years ago some diamond merchants in New York sug- gested that if uncut diamonds were placed on the free list and the duty retained on cut diamonds they would employ diamond cutters to cut them in this country. Uncut diamonds were therefore placed on the free list and ten per cent ad valorem duty was placed on cut diamonds unset and six ty per cent placed on set stones. What is the result? There are 2,000 dia- mond cutters In this country getting big wages (for 1t Is a delicate thing to cut diamonds) and they earn in the aggregate several million dollars What becomes of this?

Shot Quarantine Omcer Little Through Hand and Terrorized Train .. Crew When Ordered to Show
 Health Certificate.

Tuscumbia Aug. S.-(Special )-A burly negro tramp made an attempt on the life of Ed Little. quarantine officer, a prominent young citizen of Tuscum- bia. at River Junction. on the South ern Railway. near the Alabama Mis- sissippi State line this morning. He was shot through the hand by a revol- yer used by the negro.
 Little Is employed by the local au- thorities of Tuscumbia, Shef1eld and Florence to Inspect all freight trains at the State line. Train 52. coming east from Memphis this morning. was stopped to allow the officer to make an inspection. A negro tramp jumped off on the opposite side and was command ed to halt and show his health certifi- cate He ran and was confronted by the quarantine officer. Instead of sub hitting, he jerked out his revolver and fired on the officer, bullet from his pistol striking the officer in the hand The train crew was unarmed. and fear ing the negro would use his gun on them he was permitted to board the train again. Just before reaching Cher okee, several miles east of the State line. he jumped from the train and ran off.
 A telegram was sent to the officers In Tuscumbia from Cherokee, and the Sheriff. Mayor. Chief of Police, Deputy Sheriff, and others quickly armed them selves and left on an outgoing freight for the scene. If the negro is found and offers resistance. he will probably be killeed, as he is considered desper- ate.
 Bloodhounds from Decatur passed through Tuscumbia on train 35 at 23O p m. en route to the scene, and every effort will be made to capture the would-be murderer who is described as a big muscular negro. defiant and fear less He is a stranger to the quaran- tine officer and the train crew, and 1t is stated that he was beating his way to Tuscumbia.
 Riverton Junction is twenty-five miles east of Tuscumbia and at a late hour the negro is still at large, although the chase had not been abandoned.
