FREIGHT RATES IN SOUTH.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Hands Down Decision.

The Interstate Ccmnece Commits
sion yesterday handed down a decis-
ion which will change the relation
of railroad freight rates throughout
the South. Rates from New York,
Cincinnati, Louisville, and New Or
leans, to Atlanta, Athens, Ga, or
Cordele, Ga; rates from Cincinnati,
Louisville, and New Orleans, to Bir-
mingham; and rates from Cincinna-
ii, Louisville, and New Orleans, to
Rome, Ga, cannot be exceeded at
intermediate points.
The report deals with rates from
New York to Charleston, S. c.; Sa-
vannah and Brunswick, Ga; Jack
sonville and Pensacola Fla; Mobile,
Ala; New Orleans, La; Memphis,
Tenn; Augusta, Macon, Milledge-
Vile, Hawkinsville; Dublin, Colum-
bus, Albany, Rome, Athens, Atlanta,
and Cordele, Ga; Birmingham, Ala;
Jackson and Meridian, Miss; and
points through Potomac Yards. Va,
Norfolk, Va, and the South Atlantic
ports.
The decision also deals with rates
from Cincinnati and Louisville to
the same points, and with the rates
from Chicago, Cairo, and St. Louis
to destinations throughout the South
The commission points out that the
territory is pierced by numerous
navigahle streams which have
caused q reduction in rates between
stations on their banks to level
lower than they probably would
have been were it not for the in
fluence of these streams.
The report expresses the belief
that the general readjustment that
will take place as a result of the
ruling will result in a more stable,
consistent and reasonable system Of
rates than now exists.

g!neer, stuck to his post until the ship
grounded on the sarGs of Ripley

to shore in life boats.
The vessel is total loss. She left
Buffalo last night for Toledo, to load
coal for Milwaukee. She was a. steel
steamer of $500 gros stons, and PCS
feet long, and was owned by James
