FRANCIS JOSEPH INCENSED
Uses Unconventional Language When
He Hears of Servian Victory

Rome. Dec. 1S-There is greatly
depressed state Of public feeling in
Viennaaover the wholly unexpected.
Austrian debacle in servia.
1t is reported in court circles, says
a Vienna correspondent, that when
the bad tidings were broken to him.
Emperor Francis Joseph swore like
trooper.
Telephoning to Count Berchteid
and Gen Kropatkin, minister of war
the emperor ordered the retirement
of Field Marshal Potiorek.
The emperor complained that II
days earlier Potiorek made him a
birthday present Of the evacuated
Servian capital, and assured him that
the enemy was on its last legs, and
that within three weeks the new
capital. Nish, would fall.
Overjoyed. the emperor forthwith
sent to the commander-in-chief the
highest war decoration he could con-
fer.
The Giornale D1talia considers
that the Servian victory has saved
forever the Balkan peninsula's indie
pendence. 1t says that Bulgaria. az
ter the Austrian rout. is no longer
menace to Macedonia, that Greece is
freed from an incubus, and that Rou-
manian irredentism will bestir itself
in Pennsylvania. A new Balkan league
Will then be practicable.

ti6cate OF authority from the CON-
mission ~ 9a1 ee'1>19t. IN
The costs of the proceedings
brought against the company are al,
SO imposed on the defendant foreign
corporation, and unless the amount
i. paid in full within sixty days, the
clerk for the commission is instruct
ed to proceed according to law ana
make the collection.
II was shown at the hearing be-
fore the commission that the company
while having no license to do bust
ness in Virginia, had entered into
contracts with the Southern Railway
in the State to manufacture and de-
liver its products. The aggregate dis
tance covered by these contracts is
1i7 miles, and the total considera-
ton the company is to receive is
s214,040. This represents only such
contracts as have come under the cog
niZance of the commission. The
signal is safety device which works
automatically.
The defense offered was that the
main purpose Of its transactions was
the sale of manufactured products,
and it was contended that those tram
sactions were similar to the ordinary
sale of goods by dealer in one state
to purchaser in another, ant that
the transportation Of the goads Sc
sold is permitted under the inter
state commerce law
The commission. however, ruled
otherwise, holding that the object oil
the Southern Railway, the purchaser
was to secure permanent structures
on its right of way, and was no,
purchasing goods to be transported
in interstate commerce. The opinion
in the case was rendered by Judge
r. r. Prentis, chairman, and was con-
Cured in by Judges Rhea and Wing
