moneys worth. If the prices had been

been more in keeping with the quality
of the attraction, but it could hardly
be considered up to the dollar standard.
The play was nothing in itself, being
a hit-or- miss collection of foolishness
and jokes which were gray with age.

and dance. The chorus was sprightly

RAILROAD is
FOUND GUILTY
G. II. & o. LINE FAILS TO SUPPLY
CARS FOR GRAIN SHIPPER
JUDGEMENT AWARDED.

=. .
WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-In an OPP
Union handed down by Commissioner
Clements, Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Cincinnati Hamilton
and Dayton Railroad is found guilty
of discrimination and judgment award
ed the complainant in the sum Of 500.
James E. Eaton charged that this
company failed and refused to supply
him with cars at Grover Mill, Ohio,
for hay and grain shipments In Sep
TENDER, October and November, 1905,
although during the same period sufi-
cient cars were supplied his competi-
tors. including the operators of an
elevator, the orders for these cars be-
ing subsequent to his. This action on
the part Of the railroad forced the
complainant to sell part of his produce
to his competitor.
Commissioner Clements held that
the evidence showed unjust discrimin-
alton was practiced. "That the com
plainant has been damaged in this case
by unfair treatment is clear" the OPP
inion says, t'but to measure that dam
age in a way TO make him whole and
at the same time be fair to the rail-
way is not only difficult, but Smpossi-
BILE"
In case brought by Well Bros. &
Co. against the Pennsylvania and Its
allied corporations, the railroad was
sustained. The complainants alleged
that a rate Of GO cents a 100 pounds
on wool in the grease from Philadel-
phia to Fort Wayne, Ind, was tnrea1
sonable and unjust in comparison
with the rate Of As cents on the same
commodity between the same points
east-bound, The decision points out
that while the law requires that all
rates shall be reasonable and just, it
does not prescribe any test or meas
ure OF reasonableness in either case.
After showing that he question of
reasonableness must be determined by
the circumstances and conditions at
fecting the business. the opinion says:
'The general movement o. an traf-
flc in one direction may SO nreponder-

For Cuban
Annexation
BANKER SAYS THE REBELLION
Is NOT SERIOUS, BUT WILL
HASTEN END.

NEW YORK, Aug, 24,John s..
Ffske Of the firm of ]. NJ. CebalIos &
Co., Cuban-American bankers Of %
Williams street, said yesterday that
the cable dispatches received by his
firm from Havana indicate that there
was no need for alarm at present, as
the Cuban government was probably
strong enough to crush the rebellion.
II the matter assumed a serious as
pect, he added, there was no doubt
that President Palma would ask the
United States to intervene.
1.-THE condition in Cuba is an anom-
alous one," said Mr.. Fiske. THE
worse It becomes the better it is for
drawing the island nearer to its nat
ural destiny, which is to become part
and parcel of the United States.
'Thts revolt will demonstrate to
the people of the United States that
the Platt amendment to the CONNER
clal treaty made with Cuba was an ex-
celIent one in every way. II President
Palma finds that his government is
unable to cope with the situation he
will call upon the United States for
aid. That would mean pactflcation
first and then annexation. Every
man, woman, and child in this coun-
try realizes that that is the future of
Cuba.
ain summing up the situation in
Cuba Americans have overlooked the
part played In the late war by the
colored race. In any country govern
ed by white men it is a natural conse-
quence that the. colored men will be to
certain extent kept In the back
ground.
t'That is what has happened in
Cuba, and is at the bottom of the in
surrecton. The colored people OF
Cuba did a great deal during the rev
olution and the late war with Spain,
and they feel that their claims have
been neglected by President Paima's
government.
''Amertcan capital in Cuba is in
creasing steadily every day and no
alarm Is felt financially over this out,
break because every one, including
the Cubans, have full confidence in the
United States. The Cuban bonds
went up vest rday because they are
a good Investment in every way We
purchased some Of the bonds for our
Cuban customers in New York.
