DISCRIMINATION IN FREIGHT
RATES WILL BE THOROUGHLY
INVESTIGATED.

A regular meeting of the board OF
directors of the Chamber of Commerce
was held yesterday at noon, President
Stillman presiding and a large number
Of members being present.
Almost the entire time of the board
was consumed in the discussion of the
report of a special committee appoint
ed to look into the question of dis
elimination in freight rates, and to call
the attention of the Florida Railroad
Commission to this matter. The com
mittee reported that it had been un'
able to secure all of the information
and data necessary. and had requested
that the commission not visit Pensa
cola at the time appointed for this Tea-
son. A reply had been received that
the members of the commission had
other engagements and that the mem
beTs could not come to Pensacola until
some time during March.
This report was discussed at some
length, and was adopted by the direc
tors.
The special committee was con
tinued. and instructed to secure al

of active service, after having served
in the navy for many years The YES
sci is the one of the oldest in the
navy, and many persons who are
familiar with the history of the Amer
lean navy will be panied to learn
that this vessel viii no longer be a
visitor to this port. Speaking Of this
the Army and Navy Register of re
cent date, says:
The historic Hartford is destined
for permanent station at the Naval
Academy and will terminate her hon
orable career in the capacity of Senior
officers ship at Annapolis. The Hart
ford is now commanded by Commau-
der T. E. w. Veeder, and is at Pen
sacola, being of the Atlantic train
ing squadron, the commander-in-chiet
of which is Rear Admiral r. B. Brad
ford. The Hartford will not be used
by the midshipmen in the annual
cruise but will have some such func'
ton as that performed by the old
Constitution years ago when that
ship was at Annapolis and which
some day is likely TO be fulfilled By
the Olympia by reason of the tradi--
tions of victory surrounding her and
which make such ships an inspiration
to the midshipmen."
