In brief the order authorized the substi tuition of the existing rates for lighter age in New York after March 1 and until March Is upon one days notice to the commission and trunk lines of railroads are likewise granted permis- sion to make changes in tariffs on three days notice under proper cond.- tiOns.

At New Orleans.

New Orleans, March With 60,COo visitors and many more times that number of subjects awaiting his ar rival at the capital city, already gaily dressed in bunting and flags, Rex, tse king of the carnival, will arrive in New Orleans on the royal yacht at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 The arrival and reception of hex has for many years formed one of the principal features of the New Orleans carnival It is customary to elect tome representative citizen to fill this position, usually a prominent business man. For several weeks previous to the day set for the reception of Re&. fictitious wireless messages, supposed to be sent from the royal yacht at sea are received at New Orleans, the capi- tai city of the king, and published In all newspapers.

PULLMAN TO HOLD
 A TEST PRIMARY
TWO CANDIDATES WILL BE sE- LECTED FOR EACH OFFICE ON
 APRIL 25 WHO WILL RUN IN THE
 GENERAL PRIMARY ON MAY 1s.

Cullman, March 1.-(Special.) )-The coun- ty democratic executive committee met at the court house yesterday, pursuant to a call from the chairman. S. J. Griffin. The resignation of D. Y. Smith as secre- tary of the committee was accepted, and Asa B. Fuller was elected to fill the place until 1910.
 The plan of holding two primaries in Cullman county was discussed by Will c. Brown, F. E. St. John, S. L. Fuller and Chairman s. J. Griffin. It was not the purpose or intention of the county executive committee to in any way dsre- gard the state democratic executive com mittee. but conditions existing in Cullman county are peculiar, and 1t was deemed necessary by the committee to order a test primary to be held on Saturday, April 25, for the purpose of naming two candi- dates for each of the county offices to run In the general primary on May Is. The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes in the test primary to have their names placed on the tickets in the general primary. The purpose of the plan is to give the democratic party in Cullman county an opportunity of select ing their nominees by a majority vote.
 This plan does not favor a third man in the race after the test primary. If a man desires to run for an office in the county he must announce and make the race in the test primary, otherwise he has no pledge of the support of the democrats in the general primary in May. However, no candidate is absolutely barred from the race, but if third man should announce and run independent of the test primary prior to the general primary, he shall net have the indorsement of the party and the two men making the race in the first election and having their names on the ticket are pledged the entire support of the party on May IS.
 This plan does not conflict in any way with that of the state committee. The of- 6eal and general primary to nominate the several, county officers and elect dele gates to the democratic national conven- tion at Denver will be held on the day set by the state committee. This plan only applies to Cullman county and was adopt ed for no other reason than to test the strongest man in the race and thus save 200 or 300 votes nominating a man whom the party at large did not indorse, when, according to the rules of yellow dog de- mocracy in the south, all good and loyal democrats would have to walk up and support, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, because he was the nominee or the democratic party.
 The general primary will be held strict iy in accordance with the rules laid down by the state democratic executive con- mittee.
