COMMISSION DECIDES ODD CASE.
Because Law Was Not Violated When Com
plaint Was Filed Suit Is Dismissed.

Washington. June 1S.-A curious case involving
the transportation of small packages by railroads
for the benefit cf commuters was decided to-day
bv the Interstate Commerce Commission, the de-
cison being promulgated by Commissioner Prouty.
The case was that of ]. r. Walker against the
baltimore a Ohio Railroad Company and the
United States Express Company.
The carriers operate for the convenience of
suburhanites a parcel express from Philadelphia
10 certain points the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road. whereby packages Of not more than fifty
pounds be sent 10 such points by afhxing a
stamn the charge for which varies according TO
weight
Walker complained that before August rs last he
was denied this privilege because he was not a
Datron of the road. Since that date the railroad
has extended the privilege to the general public.
The commission. while holding that on the facts
existing previous TO the date mentioned the com
plant was we'll founded. because application OF
"a particular rule not applied 10 the general public
is clearly an unjust discrimination, decided Jnat

DICKINSON WON'T RETIRE.
Stokes disks Secretary of State to
Resign, but He Refuses.
IRv Telegranh 20 The TNrihnna I

Trenton, June lS-Governor Stokes to-day
asked Colonel Samuel D. Dickinson to resign his
position Of Secretary of State. to which he
reapponted last winter despite the open and
outspoken objections of the New Idea wing of
the Republican party, led by Mayor Mark NJ.
Pagan, of Jersey City. Colonel Dickinson
fused to resign. and was given until tomorrow
to reconsider his stand. II he does not yield the
Governor is TO publish lot of correspondence
in connection with the case. What else besides
the communication of Mayor Fagan, on which
Colonel Dickinson based libel suit for S1OOWO.
Is he published is not known, but the fact
that the Governor threatens 10 give the corre-
spondence TO the public is taken to indicate
there is something which has not been made
public before.
Colonel Dickinson abandoned the suit against
Mayor Pagan last week after what appeared 70
be a bad setback for him. 1t is generally under
stood that the Secretary Of State, before he was
reappointed. promised the Governor 70 clear
away the charges of Mayor Fagan relative 10
his private life, and brought the suit 10 carry
this out
The Governor and Colonel Dickinson had not
met since the suit against Mayor Fagan was
abandoned To-day IL was expected they would
meet as on Tuesday, at noon. Most Of the state
officers meet at luncheon in the basement Of the
State House. This morning Colonel Dickinson
announced that he would not be in his accus-
toned seat and would not take luncheon with
the rest of the state officers. Friends prevailed
upon him not to absent himself. He yielded
nndIly ana sent WoTu HIS pace was 10 pe re-
served. The greetings between the Governor
and Secretary of State were formal and not
cordial.
After luncheon Governor Stokes went 10 his
private office and sent word to Colonel Dickn-
son that he would like TO see him. a few min
utes later the two men were closeted together.
The Governor asked the Secretary of State for
his resignation. and Colonel Dickinson replied in
effect that he declined 10 tender it, and added
that one else about the State House wanted
him TO resign except the Governor.
Governor Stokes replied that he felt that the
public interests and welfare and the interests of
the Republican party in the state demanded the
retirement Of Colonel Dickinson from the office
he held Colonel Dickinson again declined, and
the Governor then said he would give him until
tomorrow TO do so. adding that if he did not
do as the Governor requested the latter would
take the public into his confidence and publish
the correspondence between himself and Mayor
Pagan previous to his reappointment.

CARDINAL At HOLY CROSS
Subject of His address is "Chrtstian
Manhood"

Worcester. Mass. June Is.-The presence of Car
dinal Gibbons. an exceptionally large number Of
graduates and perfect weather and conditions
united to-day TO make the annual commencement
at Holy Cross College as successful as any SINH
lar celebration in the history of the institution
me exercises included musical selections orations
oY members Of the graduating class, the presenta-
ton OF diplomas by Cardinal Gibbons and an ad-
dress by his eminence Cardinal Gibbons's subject
was christian Manhood" He said:
The question may he asked. What Is the great
est need or our times for beterrnent OF society
is II churches? Is il hospitals and sanatorums
ulat the times specially call for? Hospitals in
deed' are the landmarks Of Christian civilization
human misery. But they do not constitute the
greatest need Of the day for they relieve only A
small fraction Of the members Of the common
wealth. Is II majestic and colossal state houses
Tor our legislative bodies? Is il stately palaces for
our bishops and clergy? Is It schools and colleges
that most needed?
i will now tell you what is the greatest need
What the times call for IS men sturdy men en-
dowed with the courage of their convictions We
need men who are controlled by conscience rather
than by expediency. who are guided by principle
rather than by popularity. who are influenced by
spirit OF pure patriotism rather than desire for
political preferment Above all We need men Of
strong Christian faith. who are prepared to up
lar prejudice In a word. We need men OF upright
character
If you reveal 10 me your character rs above re-
rroach. will reveal TO you your destiny. II is
or Senators. or bishops. But the attainment II
these nigh Offices is not the OF genuine sue
The true test Of lies IN the fulhlment
Of duty II you faithful the post To which
Providence will assign you, matter what that
post may be- you will be successful in life; you Will
enjoy the testimony OF a good conscience and
above ALL you will have the approval OF heaven"
