GOVERNOR MACON, late Of Outa,
calls upon the United States to raise tie
wreck of the battle hip Maine in Ha-
yaua harbor. Bat his urgent recon-
mepdation that the United States should
raise the wreck, relieve the harbor Of an
incubus and give decent burial to The
sixty.three bodies that are still supposed
70 be in the hull will evoke no response
at Washington. The COMMERCIAL IN
terests of Havana demand the removal
of the wreck, but this government has
steadily discouraged all propositions to
expose the bottom of the Milne to pub
lie view lest 1t be shown that the eX-
plosiou, which sunk the ship, was iTon
the 'inside."

THE TWO CENT RATE.

Simply for the reason that the time
had elapsed in which sn appeal could
be entered from the order of the Oorpo-
IA ion Commission pTomulgatiug the 2
cent tate passenger rate, the Virginia
Court of Appeals Yesterday denied the
application Of the railroads, which WAS
taken by direction OF the United States
Supreme Court that complaining trans
portation companies should frat apply
TO the highest State tribunal before seek
ing federal relief.
Ia reversing Circuit Judge Pritcbard
10 The matter Of Jurisdiction, the Supreme
Court at Washington handed down 80
opinion on November 90ih, ordering
that the bill filed by the Atlantic Coast
Line, the Chesapeake aud Ohio, the
Norfolk aud Western and the Southern
Railway be retained 10 the United S stes
Circuit Court to see what the Virginia
Court of Appeals would do when taken
there, idiDg that if 1t was then ton late
to take az appeal, the decree of Judge
Pritcbard, eDjoining the Corporation
Commission, must be affirmed.
1t is to be clearly noted, therefore,
that the railroads have won another
legal skirmish, and one which it ia be-
lieved will hasten The effort made here
tOiOre to reach compromise. The next
move must be made by the State-not by
the railroads. If the State should not
appeal 10 the United States Circuit Court
OF Appeals-!hough 1t will uuguestioU-
ably do 80 in the event no smicable
settlement ia msde-the court proceed

the 2-eent rates aud the temporary
agreement between the State aud the
railroads by which the lover tariff re.
mains in effect pending fual determine.
ton of the whole question by the Su-
prone Court. la otner words, the State
must take an appeal or compromise
Meanwhile the railrosds are in waiting
attitude, though it is known that they
are not sverse to compromise on a
basis somewhat similar 10 that adopted
In North Carolina and other southern
States.
An appeal means two years or more
before The broad question of the equity
of the 2-cent rate is decided. OF necss-
sity, the court would have to appoint q
special master to take volumes of testi-
mouy.
Then the record would be subject 10
review, snd no matter what opinion the
Cour! of Appssls might arrive at the
case would 90 on to the S1preme Court
Of the United States. Meanwhile, how
ever, the present rates would remain In
effect, the contract between the rail-
roads and the State providing that it
shall be binding until the question is
determined beyond appeal.
In view of changed conditions, costly
litigation snd the apparent victory won
thus far by the roads, even If they do
DOT profit by 1t nowadays, the general
opinion Is that within comparatively
shor. time the matter will be compro-
missed. - Richmond Times Dispatch.
