Praises the Commission

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2S.-Presi-
dent William SprOule Of the Southern
Pacific commended the verdict of tfr
California railroad commission on the
merger situation as an able decision.
Pointing out the fact that the South
ern Pacific had acted under dureSS in
agreeing to the sale of the Central Pa
cific to the Union Pacific, he said:
AS far as we here are concerned.
we are simply waiting. As far as the
sale of the Central Pacific is concerned.
if must be remembered that it is the
Union Pacific which is in the position
of the buyer. We were in the position
of a seller under duress.
I'VE did not propose the sale of the
Central Pacific. The only way that we
We're drawn into It was by the agree
ment drawn up by the Union Pacific
and the attorney general.
':Now comes this decision of the Cal
ifornia railroad commission. which is A
very able deciSiOn-I am now studying
it-and throws such an obstacle in the
way of carrying out the plan that We
are doubtful what it will lead to.
"Mr kruttSchnitt. who is the chair
man OF the executive board of the
Southern Pacific, says the plan has
gone by the board.
attorney General Wickersham says
that the California decision does not
prevent the plan as it relates only TO
what he calls local Matters The at
tOrney general is evidently not correctly
Informed in this particular.
1.-THE commission is correct in its
position that the road from Sacramento
10 Oakland by the way of Niles is the
original Central Pacific line"

Ice Plant I'm Operation.

Kingstree can now boast of an
up-to-date ice plant. The Kingstree
Electric Light and Ice Co have COM
pleted their new plant in North
Kingstree and the first freeze was
turned out Tuesday. The ice was
made into 800 pound blocks and is
of fine quality. This addition to the
industrial progress of Kingstree is
one of the most important achieve
ments of her recent remarkable
growth, and coming into operation
at this particularly hot season, it is
heartily greeted by the residents of
the town.
1t is now hoped that the days of
the ice famine in Kingstree are a
thing of the past and we expect to
hear the joyful cry of the ice man"
as he daily delivers his ware" to
the homes of his customers, even in
the remote corners of the town.

do with renewal Of the general arbitration treaty.
That instrument has nothing whatever TO do with
any purely domestic question" but only with in
ternational questions not involving our vital inter
ests honor or independence.
The question Of tolls at Panama is not, as Sena-
TOR Chamberlain, Senator O'Gorman and others ap-
psrently profess to think purely domestic queS-
ton It is distinctly international, and II became
so the moment we made the Hay auncefote treaty.
II is IN fact not so much a question Of tolls as OF

even an Anglophobe Senator will pretend that that
Is purely domestic
Why not be frank about it and say that we do
not want TO make any more treaties because we

haps Il would do as well TO say that whatever con
tracts we enter into we will fulfil only far as it
suits our convenience. pleasure and profit 50 to do
