HEARING ADJOURNS
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS BEFORE
COMMERCE. COMMISSION.
Minority Leader of House Makes APP
peal That Thirty Day Notice Pro
vision be Suspended Tor
Three Mouths.

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE inter-
state Commerce Commission today con-
tinued its hearings regarding the Pc
titions of tho various railroads for a
waiver of the thirty days notice pro-
vision of the railway rate law in re-
gard to the changes in rates.
NJ. =. Markham of st. Louis. assis-
tant the ice-president of the Mis-
sour Railroad. was the principal wit
ness and he was subjected TO series
of interrogations by tFc Commission.
He said it perhaps was true that II
the thirty da, :otice were t" be
waived 1t would tend 20 open thS way
to outside steam Arg 20 eompets with
cart of the business now done by the
Leland Harrison lines of steamers on
export cotton bushes to Liverpool
and, Manchester The witness ADMIT
ted that it was generally understood
that lines above referred to, carried
most of the freight. but he would
not say that they controlled the sit
uation He was unable to state wbeth-
er the regular line steamer rates were
less than those # tramp steamers. He
said. however, that in his opinion the
effect of the abrogation of the system
of equalization and applying fixed
rate to the ports would be to work out
4 reduction in the cost of ocean trans
portation and thereby tend to increase
the price of cotton to the grower.
After general discussion OF the
whole question, Representative dohu
sharp Williams of Mississippi made
plea that the commission exercise the
discretion invested in it by suspend
ng for this season or for ninety days
at least. the thirty days notice. and
that at the end of that time give no
tice that the law requiring the publ
cation of rates to the seaboard must
be strictly complied with.
Such an arrangement. he said. would
give the railroads and the people VINO
deal with them as shippers, breath
ing spell in which to adapt themselves
to the law.
Commissioner Clements. the acting
chairman, announced that the commits

Paris, Sept. 14.--It is declared here
that there is a proposition on foot to
supplement the Anglo French entente
and the Franco-Russian and Anglo
Japanese alliances by Franco-Japan-
csc agreement, the conclusion of which
is calculated to allay French fears re-
lative to Indo-China.
M. Takekoshi, the japanese states
man, in an interview on this subject,
pointed out that the relations between
France and Japanese were most COR

suit In a friendly understanding. ia
pan has not the slightest Interior in
tention in connection with Indo-China
and Is prepared to give the fullest
guarantees tn this end.
A Franco Japanese agreement Is fur
thermore absolutely necessary for the
commercial development of the Chinese
Empire.
M. Takekoshi recalled the fact that
the Freycinet Cabipet had proposed an
alliance with Japan in 1884 before the
Anglo-Japanese alliance existed. Japan
however was compelled to decline these
overtures owing to circumstances Of
the MON ant.
It is declared in official circles here
that knowledge of the proposed agree
ment Is lacking.

FOUND In DESERTED HOUSE.
Body OF Young woman Discovered o.
Sand Mountain.

Decatur, Sept. a. Especial Burt
Seaman. a farmer residing on Sand
Mountain, was In the city today and
told your correspondent of a most mys-
FERROUS suicide or murder which took
place in his neighborhood a few days
ago.
Wednesday the body of Miss Mary
Lyman was found by her relatives, ly-
ing dead in an old house which had
been unoccupied for several years The
body looked as though death had taken
place only a few hours before the dis
covery. There were no marks of any
kind on the body; neither could it be
learned whether she had taken poison.
It is the general belief. so the farmer
stated, that the young woman had COM
mitted suicide. and his reason for be-
lieving this. he. said. was due to the
fact that she was in love with young
man of the neighborhood, and her
parents had objected to their marriage.
The young woman was about twenty
two years of age and well connected.
