night, said: "As an evidence of the
inability of the Western Union to

Letter to the Postal.

New York, June 26.-The execu-
tive committee of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union yesterday ad-
dressed a letter to General Manager
Nally, of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany, suggesting that the grievances
Of the operators be heard and con-
sidered by representatives of the
company. In the letter the commit
tee indicate a preference that the
Postal officials receive a representa-
tive Of the president of tn union, but
states that if this is not agreeable,
employees of the Postal who are also
members of the unions executive
board, will be delegated to meet their
employers.
In the communication General
Manager Nally is taken to task for
statements purporting to have been
made by him to the effect that the
strike in San Francisco was called in
violation of the recent peace agree
ment between the telegraph compan-
les and the union. On this point, the
letter says:
I'VE beg to state the telegraphers
made one agreement with the COM
pany you represent which covered
Chicago. That agreement has been
violated in a manner which indicates
that the disregard of agreements
entered into is on the other side.
This statement We are prepared to
substantiate by correspondence,
printed rules covering Chicago and

tons now prevailing there"

AFTER THAT BIG MONEY,

mand Return of Excessive Lum-
Der Rates.

washington, June ga deluge
OF petitions flooded the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday. In
addition to three or four of the US
ual character, thirty-seven complaints
were filed with the commission In
one class of cases. the greatest num-
Der ever presented in one day in the
history of the commission. The
thirty-seven complaints developed
from one case recently decided final
ly by the Supreme Court Of the Unit
ed States.
The case grew out of a complaint
filed several years ago by the Nation
al Yellow Pine Association against a
large number of railroad lines in
the Southeastern territory of the
United States. 1t was alleged that
the railroads were exacting excessive
rates on shipments of yellow pine to
various parts of the country. The
case was heard by the commission
very exhaustively and in a decision
which was handed down by Commits
sioner Clements the contention of the
compliments was upheld, and the
railroads were ordered to reduce
their rates.
The railroads carried the case to
the courts and it finally reached the
Supreme Court of the United States.
In a decision handed down a few
weeks ago that tribunal held in eff
feet that the decision of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission was just
and reasonable and that it must be
respected and enforced.
Following this decision individuals
and corporations engaged in the yell
low pine lumber industry in the
South and Southwest have instituted
complaints before the Interstate
Commerce Commission against prac-
tically all of the railroad lines into
the southeastern territory, demand
ing reparation for the amounts paid
by them to the. railroads in excessive
freight charges.
While thirty-seven of these COM
plants were filed today, it is expect
ed that many more will be submitted
to the commission in a few days
The amounts of reparation in the
thirty-seven complaints vary from a
few hundred to many thousands OF
dollars and aggregate s4s6,250.

Norfolk, Va, June 25.-One whole
block of the Pine beach section, i'm
mediately adjoining the jamestown
Exposition grounds, was swept by
fire today. The Arcade Hotel, Beck
ley Hotel, Outside Inn, Powhattan
Hotel. Caroline Hotel land several
other smaller hotels and a large part
of the outside warpath was destroyed
The loss may aggregate 100000.
The Inside Inn and the Kentucky

FIRE reached nothing inside of the
grounds. The Arcade, Royal Pine,
Hampton Roads, Washington House,
Outside Inn, Powhattan, Carolina
and Berkley Hotels were among the
largest buildings destroyed. The
Powhattan Guards, under Captain
Carpenter, and the exposition fire de-
partment, did splendid work in pre-
venting the flames from spreading
further.
The Twenty-third infantry was Or
dered out and the entire district west
Of the exposition grounds is under
martial law. Between forty and fifty
structures were entirely consumed.
On One Hundredth street, ten were
swept away, and like number was
destroyed on Maryland avenue and
on One Hundred and Third street it
is estimated about twenty structures
burned, and probably 1000 people
are homeless.
Captain Carpenter, with the Pow

With his force, are doing their utmost
to relieve the distress. 1t is reported
that two lives were lost, but this is
not confirmed The fire originated

Defense Rested.

The defense rested their case this
afternoon and the prosecution an
nounced as their first witness in re-
buttal Hiss Annie Kidd who they
said would disprove the story of Miss
Loving. This was objected to and
the jury retired, after which a
lengthy legal discussion was gone in
to- The attorneys for the defense
argued that the prosecution had no
right to enter into the truth or the
falsity OF the story told by Miss Low
ing to her father and cited the New
York case in which District Attorney
Jerome was not allowed to impeach
the testimony Of Evelyn Thaw. At
torney Daniel Harmon, for the pro-
seeution, in reply gave the first pub
lie presentation Of the side of the
case from the Estes viewpoint. In
an impressive address he declared
that Judge Loving had acted in haste
in shooting young Estes, as he could
have gotten all the facts and infor-
nation about the buggy ride without
going out of his way.

Houston, Va. June 2s.-Interest
In the trial of Judge Loving for the
murder of young Theodore Estes
Jagged somewhat today. The fea-
lures were the closing of the case of
the defense after the examination of
three witnesses for the purpose Of
proving that Judge Loving was in
sane at the time of killing of young
Estes and the statement by the at
torneys for the prosecution of what
they intended to prove If certain wit
nesses are allowed to testify. The
plea of the defense is that the mind
OF Judge Loving had after years of
dissipation, which frequently caused
him to have delirium tremens from
excessive drinking, become so IMPAIR
ed that when he heard the story of
his daughter, Miss Elizabeth Loving.
that she had been drugged and as
saulted, he became deranged and
was not responsible for his act in
killing Estes. Counsel for the de-
tense hope through the plea of emo
tional insanity to prevent any at

Miss Loving.

HIGH JUMPING SHARKS.
Doubts Of Sailor Who Says He Knows
Something About the Big Fish.

-
You published in your paper on Sat
urday a very curious story about a
shark jumping SO feet high In the air.
writes a correspondent Of the South
China Post.
The writer or author of this story,
q captain of British vessel. bound
for London, says that he fred rifle
shot at a shark and badly wounded
It, The shark in question jumped so
high out of the water that he cleared
the mainsail with the ease Of sea-
gull.
Now, dear sir, this Is rather a
trife strong. The captain states that
they threw some meat overheard to
get the sharks closer to the ship. At
the moment that the shark made a
grab for the meat the captain fired
his shot, which shot made the shark
jump SO feet out of the water.
We that have been at sea all know
that there Is one kind of shark which
has to lay on it's side before 1t can
grab anything between its jaws, and
another kind which has to lay on its
back to do so. The construction OF
their mouths compels them to take
these attitudes. AS a consequence
the shark In question was either lyins
on his back or on his side.
A fish jumping out of the waite,
makes the following movement: Thu
fish stretches his back and bends him
self in the form of crescent BY
bringing his head and tail closer to
gether. At the moment he wants Il
jump he straightens his back agar
and hits the water with the tail end d
his body This force produces the
power which enables him to jump {
certain height.
AS above stated. the shark, wher
fired at, was grabbing for the meat
and lying either on his side or back
In this position he was not able &c
jump out of the sea. His movements
in this position were limited to three
he could either move ahead, sideways
or downward.
