THE COAST CITES
 AND NOT RAILROADS
The Real Defendants in the Spokane Interstate Commerce Commission Hearing.

Spokane Ian. Through several answers made to sharp inquiries by Commissioner Prouty at today's hear ing of the Spokane rate case it was revealed that tho attorneys for the coast cities will not depend upon the argument of water competition alone. but will maintain that Seattle. PoE land and Tacoma suffer from discrimi nation in favor of Spokane.
 Joseph x. Teal. for the Portland chamber of commerce insisted that h. desired to give notice-that Portland's petition for intervention would be amended to meet the new arguments of Spokane. for which he said the de fendants had not been prepared.
 Commissioner Prouty said I under stand that the justification for the ter minal rate exists wholly on the basis of water competition. Were this not so. the coast cities would not be justi- fled in having lower rates than Spo- kans. IL has been decided by the com mission that water competition is d factor. whatever bearing it may have on the case.
 H. NJ. Adams of Seattle. assistant traffic manager of the Great Northern. admitted under cross examination that the railroads had after the commence ment of the present case before the interstate commerce commission given a new rate to coast points to enable them to beat the rate given to Spokane merchants. east of the Idaho line Commissioner Prouty apparently in some amazement reiterated the ques- ton whether the rate had been put in effect after suit had been begun last fall and Adams admitted it had.

ENGLISH UNEASiNESS.
Rather intensified by the Later Dis
 patches from the Island.

London Jan. 1G.-The bulk of the dispatches received tonight. including some from Kingston direct, declaring that one hundred or more have been killed. leave the country apparently in renewed suspense as to the fate of Jamaica's capital. Early reports in cluding government dispatches tended to minimize the worst features of the inst messages received. Although there was an inclination still to credit official accounts, in the absence of a confirmation by the later reports. the belief felt this afternoon tends to give place to a despOndency at the pOssi- Dility that the worst fears will be real ized when the full accounts of the dis aSter come to hand.
 Two things stand out of the general gloom to bring intense satisfaction 10 the British public. The first is the fact confirmed tonight in a dispatch from Sir Alfred Jones himself that the Jones party are all safe. The second is found in the prompt and active steps taken by the American govern ment to investigate the real conditions and afford necessary relief to the un- fortunate city. Special appreciation is felt at Secretary Metcalfs decision to act without waiting for congress to sanction. All possible steps are being taken here but this generous action is nevertheless appreciated
 The king. queen and also the premier, Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman has tened to send expressions oi the cOun- try's sympathy and are arranging to hold meetings to express sympathy and afford relief to the victims. Up to a late hour tonight the colonial office

had no further news to communicate and the public finds satisfaction in the belief that the causalties among the English residents of the island have been few.
 At the time of writing this despatch, however a despatch has been received from Sir Alfred Jones addressed to Elder Demster and company confirm ing worst fears. The message follows: Kingston was overwhelmed by an earthquake on Monday afternoon at 3.30 ?. m. All the houses within a radius of ten miles have been damaged, and most all of this city destroyed. Fire broke out after the earthquake and completed the destruction. It is estimated that 100 people have been killed and 1000 injured. The public of fees and hospitals are in ruins. There Were no fatalities at Constant Springs hotel The business quarter of Kings ton is smouldering in ashes. We are thankful that our party is all right"
 The message from Sir Alfred is al- most identical with other messages re- ceived from Kingston including one from the correspondent Of the Standard NiAA tllt I'll-' lt4l tN- Nllu lllc eNttl- ton that all the others give the death list as several hundred while a de- spatch similar of purport received by the direct West Indian Cable company says the loss of life is"heavy." and adds that Port Antonio was not badly injured. At the present time there fore it is impossible to form a reliable idea of the number lost. from the informa- ton available
 King Egward through the Earl of Elgin, secretary of state for the col onies, telegraphed to Sir Alexander Sweetenham, governor of Jamaica. as follows: T am commanded by the king to request you to express to the inhabitants Cf Kingston the horror with which his majesty and the queen learned of the terrible disaster which has b5failen the town with the loss of so many lives. and the deep sympathy of their majesties is with the sufierer5 and the relations Of those killed"

Sir William Treloar. would open a relief fund to- morrow and he expressed a hope that the mimic representation of desola- tion of the earthquake in "The Bond man" would open the purse strings os the audience.

A NEW TURN IN
THE SAKE CASES
Government on Appeal Aban-
dOns Position Always
Maintained.

The celebrated sake cases have tax
en- a new turn. The Treasury Depart
ment in Its appeal from the decision
OF Judge Morrow. has acknowledged
one Of the contentious of the importers.
The government now wants the court
to decide that sake. for customs pur-
poses should be classified as beer by
similitude.
H. J. tombstone, the customs broker
who raised the question of classical
ton, and who has fought the sake cases
right through has received advices
from San Francisco stating that the
appeal from the decision of Judge Nor
row will be heard by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals in october.
It is also stated that in its bill of
exceptions on appeal, the representa-
tives of the government allege that the
trial court erred in deciding that sake
was not spirituous liquor; that it
erred in deciding that it was not wine;
that it erred in de iding that it was
not beer or similar thereto, and in de-
Gliding that it was a manufactured ar
ticle not otherwise.
The contention Of the government has
always been that sake is a wine or
similar thereto and is dutiable at fifty
cents a gallon. The importers have
cOntended that it was a manufactured
article not otherwise enumerated in the
tariff schedule, and therefore dutiable
at twenty per cent ad valoreTn, equiya-
lent TO about ten cents a gallon; or
that IL It were not to be so classified,
1t must be classified as beer or similar
thereto, dutiable at twenty cents gal
Ion. In the one case the rebate to be
allowed the importer would be about
forty cents a gallon; in the other thirty
cents a gallon.
In all the cases so far decided the
courts have held it an unenumerated
manufactured article. BY its attitude
in this appeal it would seem that the
government is now seeking to have II
declared a beer, dutiable at twenty
cents a gallon, rather than an unenu-
merated article dutiable at about ten
cents a gallon. In the trial OF the
case the government introduced evil
dence TO show that it was in no sense
a beer, and that the process Of its man
ufacture was not brewing.
The amount involved by the decision
IS constantly growing, as the time
passes and the amount of sake import
ed increases. The amount now involv-
ed is a good deal more than million
dollars, and may amount to two NIL
lions, perhaps, before the case is final
1y decided.

Valuation of Railroad Fixed by state Tax Commission, the figures Bringing the Total Up to
 s25,156,4S2.

The intangible property, or the franchise, of the Louisville and Nash vilie railroad, has been assessed at $7,609,S55 by the State Tax Commis- sion, according to statement given out yesterday by that body. At the same time the franchise of the South and North, the Louisville and Nashville line, running from Montgomery to De- catur, was assessed at $1,SSs.64o, makN ing the total assessment of the Louiss vile and Nashville lines in Alabama, so far as their intangible property is concerned, $s,sss,4s5.
 These figures are entirely independ- ent of the assessment levied by the State Board of Equalization upon the actual tangible property, such as the rtRht-of-way, ties and rails, depot and station property, roundhouse and ter- nlinal property owned by the sys- tenn.
 The franchise of the Tallassee and Montgomery railway is assessed at sI1,75O, and that of the Bessemer Wa ter Works is valued at $69,246.
 The other assessments of the rail- road lines of the State were fixed some weeks ago. and the figures announced yesterday raise the total assessed val uation of the franchise of Alabama cor porations to $25,256.452.
 An estimate of the amount of rev. enue these assessments will bring the State is s265, 1000 per annum.
