The nationwide curiosity as to the
probable plans Of the German mer-
chant raider PrinE Eitel Friedrich,
which has been in the port at Newport
News during the past three weeks,
has not yet been satisfied. Fol more
than a week there have been constant
rumors with regard to the alleged
movements Of the ship. One story
had it that the Friedrich would in
tern; but for various reasons prefer
red to be in New York harbor, and
would reach there by proceeding up
the coast within the three mile limit
Of neutral waters. This suggestion
fell Of its own weight because Of the
physical impossibility Of the feat.
Then it was said that the ship would
make a dash for the open sea and run
for 1t in spite Of the British and
French vessels on guard outside the
bar: but there is little reason to this.
Within the past few days the Eitel has
taken on a full supply Of coal and ev-
cry indication Is that she means to
sail. Under the law, no belligerent
warship is allowed to leave a neutral
harbor within twenty-four hours after
the departure Of an enemy mer-
chant vessel, and British merchant
vessels are leaving Newport News
quite frequently, this is assumed to be
another reason why the German is de-
laying his departure. The exact status
as to the Friedrich is Of course known
at Washington; but the matter is
secret. 1t seems to be reasonably GER
tain that the Friedrich will have to do
something pretty quick, but what that
something is, is still a matter Of spec
ulation.

MILITARY REORGANIZATION.

The expected shake-up in the South
Carolina National Guard has come at
last through the mastering out Of sew
en- companies and one band, and the
disbanding Of the brigade and regt-
mental organizations. AS a matter OF
fact the South Carolina National Guard
has been in a lore or less chaotic con-
dition from the beginning Of its exist
nee under the Dick law, some eight
or ten years ago. The trouble Is be-
lieved by many to be due to its failure
to enter fully into the spirit Of that
law. AS times went on conditions grew
worse instead Of better, until a few
months ago when Governor Blease de-
cided to open the way for a new start
by disbanding the whole business.
There were those who affected to dis
regard the governors action at the
time; but there were few who failed to
realize that it was not only legal; but
the right thing to do under the circum-
stances. Since then there has been
much speculation a to further devel-
opments, and while the military people
and others had a pretty good idea as
to what was coming, it was not until
Wednesday that this speculation was
finally settled by the PRONUNCIATION OF
a general order signed by Governor
Manning.
This order musters out of the service
1900. ntna fnNltHtnr Tn nf
Yorkville, and the Second regiment
band, and leaves only twenty-four
companies, sufficient to form two reg
iments. The text Of the order Is as
follows:
Under the provisions of section 2s,
military code Of South Carolina, the
following organizations Of the Nation

ordered to be disbanded:

COTTON PIECE
 RATES DISCUSSED
SHIPPERS PRESENT THEIR o5- JECTlONS TO RAISE IN
 FREIGHT RATES.

Chicago, April 13.-Objectors 10 the proposed increase in freight rates on cotton piece goods, one of the com modities in which II western railroad systems are seeking advances in transportation charges, closed their testimony today before w. NJ. Daniels, interstate commerce commissioner.
 In their presentation Of objections stress was laid on transportation con- ditions, such as carloads loaded and unloaded by the shippers, alleged in- equalities of rates on cotton piece goods as compared with other com modities, and special rates in certan sections of the western territory which they contended would work a hardship manufacturers and deal CTS in the commodity in question.
 Attorney R. ID. Sangster of Kansas City asked leave to correct the ex- hibit offered by J. I. Sweeney, a wit ness examined by him this morning. by eliminating the figures on gross ton mile earnings on 45 cars of cotton piece goods from the seaboard to Kansas City, saying that the tabula- tio mad been based on a mis. aken computation. The cs5%ev11on Wsss allowed.
 Various exhibits on mileage and rates were introduced by C. $. Max well. counsel for Texas manufac- turers.
 "A c. Nettels of Post City, Texas. testified to rates on finished sheets and pillow cases from Post City. which, he said, were paying higher rates than should be charged
 In rebuttal the railroads recalled s. II. Johnson, assistant freight traffic manager of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad. who called at- tention to various points in exhibits introduced by the shippers, which he said showed errors in computations
 At the conclusion of the shipsefss7 case on cotton piece goods counsel for the railroads made a formal mo tion to strike out the testimony of several of the shippers witnesses as having no bearing on the reasonable ness of the proposed advances. The motion was taken under advisement.
