LENA EXPLOSION
Commission Finds It Due to Decom-
 position of Powder.

Toulon, April 12-The senatorial com mission appointed to investigate the cause of the explosion on board the French battleshlp lena March 3, when over one hundred of the crew were killed, and to report on the naval situ- ation generally, has terminated it's work and drawn up long report for presentation to parliament. The com mission examined large number of witnesses and reached the conclusion that there is a great lack of cohesion in the various branches of the fleet, and want of organization in its super vision.
 From the evidence heard the mem bers of the commission consider the explosion on the lena to have been due to the decomposition of "B" powder.

 London, April 13.-The time consun- ed in the trial of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White, compar- ed to the rapidity and exactness of English justice as illustrated in the case of Rayner, the murderer of Will Ham Whitely, in which the court con- fined the lawyers and witnesses to ac- tual facts connected with the crime, and comparisons between American methods, which are declared to be mel odramatic in the extreme, and what is alleged to be the more dignifled pro- cedure of the English bar," form the basis of the comment in the newspa- pers this morning.
 All the papers publish long editorial articles on the Tnaw case, and most of them review the various stages of the trial. It is declared that American prestige has suffered severely, and the case is called signal proof of the utter inefficiency of American states manship to evolve practical legal sys- tenn"
 One paper says: 'Law, dignity, com mon sense and order, all have been wanting" while another declares: "A strong English judge would have made short work of the trial, reducing to a minimum it's degrading sensational ism
 Surprise is expressed that Justice Fitzgerald did not dominate the pro- ceedings, as would an English judge, and prevent the defense from getting up gush and greasy sentiment about a girl wife" and the prosecution from such a fragrant abuse of justice' by the questions MT. Jerome was allowed to put to Thaw's wife.
 The methods of counsel generally are condemned.
 The editorial articles practically ig- nore the tremendous interest this trial awakened in England. A majority of the newspapers here have devoted much space to pictures, news of and the com ment on the trial, breaking the record in this respect of foreign criminal cases

FLAGRANT INJUSTICE
TO WASHINGTON.
The TSailroad Commission Sustains
the Ca r. r. in It's Unjust
Claims Against Washington
Compress.

One of the most striking evidences
of Washington need for better
railroad facilities and competitive
freight rates was afforded in the de-
cision rendered by the R"ilroad Com
mission Of Georgia in the case of the
Washington Compress company ver-
sus the Georgia Railroad.
The case which was taken up bv
the local compress company, through
their attorney, Hon. F. H. Colley, be-
fore the railroad commission, grew
out Of the charging of an additional
"local freight rate" on all cotton
that was 1.oated into Washington
for compression here and from this
point to go out to the ports or inte-
rior mill points. This additional To-
cal rate was not charged in the cases
of Covingtol and Athens, towns that
are similarly situated to Washington
in regard to cotton collection, but
with the exception that both of the
above named cities have competing
transportation lines.
It was the contention Of the
Georgia Railroad in the hearing be-
fore the railroad commission held
several weeks ago, that In the cases
of Covington and Athens they did
allow cotton to be foated into these
cities without an additional local
freight rate because they had to meet
competition at these points, but in
Washington they monopolized mat
ters, being the only connecting rail
road, and they didn't have to meet
competition here, hence they would
exact every penny that was coming
to them, regardless Of the enterprises
that would be throttled by such arbi-
trary practices.
After practically a months de-
lay, the Railroad Commission Of
Georgia has notified the Washington
OOulp pIcSS COIlpdLy VI CnCAl uOCASAOlL
in the matter which sustains the
point of the Georgia Railroad. In
explaining the delay the Railroad
Commission cites the fact that final
determination Of the matter has been
delayed thus far "in the hope of
finding some way in which it could
bring about some improvement in
the present adjustment of things for
the benefit of your people"
Despite the fact that the commits
sion has cherished uch a fond hope
of ameliorating the local conditions,
by its decision which has just been
made known to the local company,
fully $4,000 bales of cotton will an
nually be diverted from this city
which means a loss from the chan
nels of trade from this one source
alone of nearly $5,O00.-Washingt

dends aggregating 376 per cent.
The regular dividend for many
years has been s per cent excep
in 1898, when it was reduced to 4
