ALLEGED RAILWAY REBAT1Na.
Indictments Against Certain Trafh'
Men Dismissed Today.

NEW YORK. July 6.-Judge Holt, in the
United States circuit court today, handed
down an opinion. the effect OF which Is to
dismiss the indictments found against Ma
than Guildford,, vice president. and r. S.
Pomeroy, traffic manager, Of the New York
Central railroad. and C. Goodloe Edgar
and Edwin Earle. the latter sugar mer-
chants Of Detroit. charging them with con-
spiracy to violate the provisions of the
EIkins rebating act, punishable by impris-
onment.
The court, however, also holds that the
indictments against the New York Central
road. Guilford and Pomeroy, found under
the Elkins act, are good. and sustains them
SO far as they are punishable by fine In
sustaining the demurrer to the conspiracy
indictments and Diminishing the demurrer
to the other indictmnts. the court holds
that Congress did not intend violations OF
the Elhins law to be punishable by impris-
oument.
Judge Holt further holds that the amend
ment to the Elkins act. providing q punish
ment by Imprisonment was not retroactive
and therefore could not include the men
charged with conspiracy.
The American Sugar Refining Company,
jointly indicted with the New York Central.
pleaded not guilty, but interposed no de-
murrers to the Indictment, preferring evil
IDENTIFY. to stand trial under the Indictment
as returned.

TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA,
It Would Be Greater but for Poo,
Transportation Facilities.

Transportation Facilities.
Trade conditions between South America
and the United States are the subject OF a
bulletin just published by the Department
OF Commerce and Labor. The whole situa-
ton Ii reviewed and the conclusion is reach
ed that this country is not getting what
II deserves OF the South American trade
ana That the trouble Is principally poor
transportation facilities. The countries of
South America take from this country on
an average % per cent or their total imports
and send US 90 per cent of their total ex-
ports. It looks. the bulletin says. as
though there should thus be ample steam
ship facilities for sending larger amount
OF American goods to South American
countries, especially as we import mostly
raw material from South America and ex-
port finished products. But this is not the
case, as many OF the steamers that come
from South America to the United States
make voyage from this country to Eu-
rope and then return to South America
taxing their return cargo with them from
European ports.
OF the countries that favor the United
Central American republics. Venezuela. Co.
lombia and the Guianas. They take goods
from the United States running from 25
to 70 per cent of their imports. The aver
age Tor the countries mentioned Is Al per
cent.
Taking the countries of South America
farther south. especially those on the west
coast. the imports from the United States
drop to from IS per cent to S,z per cent OF
the total.
The summing up of the commercial stu
alton shows that the aggregate imports
of the countries south OF the United States
amount to 1882. 900 900 annually and their
exports to 81 003. Oo0. 900 annually OF this
amount the United States takes $35O,000 900,
or IS per cent. and sends $3.50. GOO 900. or %
per cent 1t is pointed out that, aside from
the failure of the United States to properly
work the territory under discussion, that
the geographical position OF the United
States with respect to South America Is not
particularly favorable. 1t is shown that
from the most easterly point of South
America 1t Is actually shorter by the steam
ship routes to southwestern Europe than
1t is to New York. And 1t Is but little far
Their to northwestern Europe than IT is to
New York. Nearly all of the capital that is
invested In the South American steamship
companies is European capital, and It Is
only natural for the managers to favor
their own countries In the matter of trade
when they can do so on even terms.

The marine hospital service has just pro-

men who are Ill and who may die. The
hospital officials make contracts for each

tracts cover the present fiscal year. At
all OF the principal cities OF the country
where seamen are likely to become i'll and
pass away contracts are made with hos
pitfalls for subsistence, nursing medical
treatment, etc, and with undertakerS for
interment. These contracts frequently re-
suit in competition in bidding, which lowers
the cost OF burial considerably. The cost

COMBATING OF CHOLERA.

parts OF the Philippines as both the civil

Is regarded as an indication that the cpl
