MOBILE GETS RATE
 ON CANNED GOODS

MOBILE, Ala, April 1S.-(Special Leased Wire. )--MobiIe will become a strong competitor of New Orleans on canned goods, shipped via water from the Pacific coast for distribution to in- land points when railroads publish their new tariff April 2K, according to a re- port at the traffic department of the Chamber of Commerce. today.
 Under the new tariff the rail and water rates from the Pacific coast where large quantities of canned goods originate, to Mobile by water and Atlanta and intermediate points by rail, is considerably less than that applying to New Orleans, it was reported. while another material reduction can be made if it is found possible to use the Warrior river from Mobile to Birming- ham and distribute the commodity through that seetiopfsby rail. It was considered almost certain that a large quantity of canned goods, coming to Mobile via water from the Pacific coast could be sent by barge up the Warrior flyer to Birmingham and given distri- button over railroads.

whose swinging doors beckoned from every second corner in New York's un- regenerate days General Hancock caused furry in the betting by forg- ing into the lead. Then for a time 1t looked as though Justice Chase would be chosen.
 The Pendieton boosters from the west had reason to believe that Samuel !. Tiiden, st the head of the New York delegation, was playing a crafty game, holding Chase in reserve until other candidates had expended their strength. In fact, this was the general opinion of political observers who were wait ing for New York to start stampede. Only occasionally was the name of Seymour mentioned ss . possibility.
 The crisis came on the twenty-secOnd ballot when Ohio placed the former governor in nominat ton. Seymour 's speech declining the honor and ending with the line, Gentlemen, your can didate Il cannot be" struck q winning note with delegates wearied of battling over ayowed candidates. Ohio's spokes- man would not take mo" for an answer. Let us vote for man whom the Presidency has sought, but who has snot sought the presidency" he shouted to receptive ears.
 Seymour.s negative reply proved to be the strongest speech of the con yenti0n. Wanting nothing, asking nothing, he became the ideal compro- mise candidate.
 But the shrinking violet withered be- fore the storm of Grant votes on cleo tion day.
