RATES FAVORING
NEW ENGLAND,
SOUTH ASSERTS
Hearing of Case Regard
ing Cheap Long HaulS
From YankeedOm.

The whole question Of alleged dis
crimination in freight rates in favor Of
the New England manufacturing cities
as AGAINST those engaged in Ike indus
tries ia the South, is raised before the
Interstate Commerce Commission IN a
case now being argued.
New England was opposed more near
" unanimously 10 the rate legislation OF
last year than any other section or the
country. on the ground Of fears that
present adjustments of rates, favorable
to the established Industries OF that
section. might be interfered with under
a new system New England enjoys
what are known as postage stamp
rates" on many things; that is, the rate
has been made for very long hauls
practically, or in some cases exactly,
the same as for much shorter distances
The Boston and Maine roads policy has
been TO secure such rate adjustments
for the benefit Of its territory, content
ing itself with very small proportionals
OF long-distance rates, in consideration
OF the privilege OF charging high local
rates within New England territory.
Discrimination Against SouthF
But this entire system Is attacked IN
the case of the Enterprise Manufactur-
ing Company Of Georgia VS.. thirty-four
railroad companies. and I'm the case OF
the China and Japan Trading Company
VS.. the same defendant companies.
II Is alleged IN thes4 cases that the
rates On cotton goodsN from Southern
r,anufs = turing centers 10 the PACING
coast on business destined for Oriental
export. Is unjustly high and discrimi'
notes against the Southern points. as
compared to New England. Specifically
the rate per 100 pounds on these goods
IN carload lots is stated at Sl.l5 from
Southern points 10 the coast, as against
Il from New England 70 the coast; and
in less than carload lots it is given
as 81. 65 from Southern points, as against
$3.50 from New England
VIII Define Competition.
The commission is asked to issue an
order recurring correction OF this al
legged discrimination. The railroad and
mountaineering interests of both sec
lions involved consider it a case Of th5
greatest Importance. for it involves
construction Of the term competition

BROTHERS SAVED,
TRAPPED UNDER
CAPSIzED SLOOP
Fireboat to Rescue, After
Ferryboat Had Over
turned Little Vessel.

NEW YORK, April 19.-Scores Of pas
sengers on the ferryboat West Point
witnessed a thrilling rescue Of two
brothers who were in a sailboat that
was capsized by the West Point off
GansevOort street in mid-stream shortly
after midnight
In their little sloop Frank Fuchs, aged
twenty-five, and his brother. Anton,
seventeen, OF Union HUI, n. J., were re-
turning and had TO work UP stream
against a heavy wind. The brothers
took 10 the oars to make better time.
Trapped Under Boat.
on Gansevoort street the West Point
came swiftly up stream from behind. A
Pennsylvania ferryboat passed TO the
left, bound down stream. The wash OF
the latter vessel tossed the tiny sailooat
directly into the path of the West Point
Frank Fuchs, seeing that a collision
was inevitable, sprang 10 the stern OF
the sailboat and prepared 70 leap 70 the
ferrybOGt. He got dismayed just be-
fore the crash, however, and forgot TO
jump. The sailboat was capsized, and
the brothers were trapped under it.
Spotted by Searehlight.
Captain Mccarthy. on the fireboat Nc
Clcllan, ordered his boat TO the scene
The searchlight was put into play, and
after shifting it from place to place the
little boat was discovered It hoated
bottom up. and no trace Of the Occu-
pants could be seen. Suddenly. as the
light shone on the overturned boat. a
head was seen TO rise out Of the water
and then two arms grasped the keel Of
the boat. A second later another head
appeared.
The fireboat steamed alongside the
overturned boat. and a dozen fremen
helped lift the almost unconscious vic
tins ont of the water. They were taken
into the engine-rOOm of the Mcclellan.
and a change Of clothing and stimulants
brought them to.

The passing Of the landmarks in
and around Las Animse is going on
rapidly, and before long there will
be nothing to connect the historical
and romontic past with the progress
sivs present.
During the past week two OF the
Oldest buildings have been doomed
lone the home Of Col. VIM. Bent,
who erected it after he had leased
Bent's fort to the government at the
beginning Of the civil war, aud
which was known thereafter as Fort
Lyon (being the old fort, twenty
Eve miles east Of the present site),
History was made in the old resi-
dsncs, and 1t Witnessed the flood and
ebb Of the power Of the Indians in
this part of Colorado. The proper
~ belongs TO the descendants OF
Col. Bent, being the home for a
number of years Of Judge Moore
and now Of Mr.. and Mrs Burr La
kin who are at present in New York
City. The other old landmark is
the large Prowers store and ware
house, which was built by John w.
Prowsrs in 1872 as 4 forwarding
and commission house for the branch
road of the Kansas Pacific, which
built from Kit Carson to the Arkan-
sas river, the end Of the track re-
manning here about two years. Las
Animas was the shipping point then
for Old Mexico, New Mexico and
Arizona, and thousands OF the great
prairie schoonsrs, loaded with wool,
came here from the Southwest, and
went back loaded with merchandise.
The old building was busy place
in those days, and some Of the
agents and clerks that were here
then have made great names for
themselves in the railroad world
since. The building has been in use
for mercantile purposes to the pres
emit time and occupies one OF the best
business locations in town, but the
march of improvement decided it
was too antiquated, and it is bein.
torn to make room for %, 900 mod
ern blook.-Las Animas Leader.
