Washington. Nov. 11.-Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte tonight said that the
question of the validity Of clearing
house certificates has never been suit
mitted to the Department of Justice

point. Until the matter comes before
him formally. he must decline to ex-
press an opinion. He added that Dis
trict Attorney Atwell was acting upon
his own initiative, not having been au-
thorized from Washington to express
any views or take any steps in the mat
ter of clearing house certificates.

finest and most completely equipped OF
any railroad Y. NJ. e. A. building in

the fund for the furnishing Of the

gave $4,000 for a new Y. NJ. c. a.

Island road giving sufficient to bring
the building fund up to 100000. In
this instance, too. Miss Gould cooper

A BIG STORM.

About nine O'Clock Sunday morning
a heavy rain and electrical storm visit
ed this city and vicinity. The rain
came down in torrents and the electri-
cal display struck terror to the hearts
of many. All was accompanied by
more or less wind. At La Crosse the
storm assumed the proportions of a
cyclone and buildings were blown
down, trees uprooted, shrubbery on
lawns destroyed, etc. Damages are re-
ported in the track of the storm across
the state.
The storm which caused the most
damage was similar one which passed
east of Wausau earlier in the morning.
This seemed to have been filled with an
unusual lot of lightning bolts. In the
town of Easton, John Beck's farm house
Was struck and a Fart of the roof torn
away; the bolt passed through the house
breaking every window. Mr.. Beck's
little daughter, eight years old, was on
the front porch feeding some kittens
and three of them were killed, but the
little girl escaped with slight shock.
Phillip Etter's stable was struck, dam
aging the building somewhat and kill
ing one horse.
In the town of Wausau, Aug. Goede
lost seven sheep by lightning. The
storm blew down many trees and heavy
grain was laid flat, damaging it more or

By Water And by Land.

Under the caption Freight by Sea
and Railway the July bulletin OF the
Department of Commerce and Labor
gives the following striking illustration
of the enormous difference between the
tariff on freight by water and the tariff
charged by the railway to the shipper
and paid, in the end. by the consumer;
" Consul r. B. Mosher, of Port Eliza
beth, Cape Colony, reports that ton OF
galvanized iron which is brought from
England to Natal, 1000 miles. for S. OF
costs by rail from Natal TO Johannes
burg, 4S3 miles, $26 ". From and TO
same places barrel of cement costs W
cents and S4.7S respectively.
In itself that one statement, made by
an official of the government OF the
United States to the Department of
Commerce and Labor, ought to be suffi-
Gent to impel the promptest action en-
the part of the government to fixed, a
well defined and continued policy of
Improvement of the inland waterways
of the United States. That Jones pays
the freight is a serious mistake. 1t is
the purchaser who pays the freight in
addition to the losses he sustains by the
constant and vexatious delays caused
not by unwillingness on the part of the
railway but because of inadequate facil-
tiles for transportation and the tremen-
dous growth of the inland trade and
commerce of the United States, inn
measurably in excess OF the foreign
trade and commerce, which bid defiance
to any efforts the railway may make to
keep pace with the necessities and the
demands of transportation.
England solved the question for her
northern shires by the construction of
the Manchester canal. Germany,
France and Holland are solving it in
the phenominally large appropriations
annually made for waterway improve
ment. 1t can be solved equally TO the
satisfaction of shipper, receiver and
consumer in the United States by the
Improvement of the inland waterways
the natural avenues of trade and COM
MERGE. With the work accomplished
there would be no such exorbitant rates
for rail carriage as Consul Mosher re-
ports, and they obtain in the United
States, as shipper and receiver know to
their mutual loss.
