row Frank Lyon. attorney for the
commission. will oppose the raising
Pocahontas coal fields of West Vir-
ginia, to the lakes, over the Norfolk
and Western Railroad.
1t is shown in this case that the
rates are the lowest for transporta-
ton of coal and coke than those over
any railroad for like distances in the
world.
According TO the figures COM
piled in the brief, il il shown that
its subsidiary lines. owned by
the New York Central interests,
have been earning IA profit of
30 per cent. per annum.
The case, regarded by railroad eX-
perts as one OF the most interesting
before the commission. brings out the
fight between the steel trust and their
coal and coke deposits i'm West Vir-
ginia ana the Independent coal deal
ers of Western Pennsylvania.
The rates in the Western Pennsyl-
vania district are much higher in
comparison than those Of the Poca-
hontas district. The Norfolk and
Western sought TO have its rates raised
in or ier to stine a few independent
de:iC g. in the PocahOntas field.
II" commission was asked to allow
the Norfolk and Western to raise its
rates, but refused to do so, holding a
hearing for the purpose Of inquiring

gunboats and at once opened fire. The
Turks replied, but their feeble arma-
ment succumbed to the superior wea-
pons OF the Italian war vessels The
fight was stiff, but soon ended in the
victory OF the Italians.
The Italian warships cruising In the

A brief official note issued yester-
day afternoon says: The Italian fleet

destroyed seven Turkish gunboatS
ana captured a turkish armed yacht.
The Turkish warships offered a vio-
lent resistance, but no loss was sus-
tanned by the Italians"
The Italian warships which took the
principal part in the battle were the
cruiser Piemonte and the destrOYers
Galibaldino and Artigliere.
The commander-in-chief had re-
ceived orders to destroy or capture
the Turkish gunbOats. as advices had
been received that they were trans
porting from Arabia Turkish troops
destined to reinforce the Turkish
army in Cyrenaica, by way Of Egypt.
During the brief combat the Turk
ssh gunners displayed utter incompe-
tenCe, their small guns being fired
wildly. The shells from the Italian
ships were not directed at the Turk
ish yacht Fauvette. which accompa-
MED the gunboats, and she was the
only unit of the Turkish flOtilla which
was not destroyed during the fight Fhe
