SPENCER'S LETTER Something of a sensation has been caused in railroad circles by the announcement that President Hoffman of the Seaboard Air Line has authorized the statement tc be made that he does rot imtend to regard the injunction ef Judge Speer In the matter of the restoration of freight and passenger tariff to the rates which prevailed Septem- ber 5. A high government official, whose attention was called to the attitude Mr. Hoffman hes taken, said he feared the Seaboard Alr Line president was treadige on dangerous grovnd. After further considering however, Mr. Hoffman his original intention, board Air Line filed with the interstate commerce commission a notice of the res- toration cf all its rates, not only within the jurisdiction of Judge Speer, but out- side of it, the restoration to take effect on the 28th instant, the same day that the restoration of rates by the other roads within Judge Speer's jurisdiction takes ef- fect. It is probable that the roads com- peting with the Seaboard Air Line will re- tore their rates outside of Judge Speer's jurisdiction, and that the rate war will re- main suspended wntil after the hearing ou Judge Speer's injunction. The Southern States Freight Avsociatiou when it gave notice Wednesday of the res- toration of rates, confined the notice to points within the jurisdiction of Jude: Speer. The action today of the Seaboard, wh'ch started the rate war, in restoring ail rat-s on the 2sth, and not confiaing the restoration to the points within Judge Speer's jurisdiction, of course will render it unnecessary for the competing roads to continue their cut rates. The roads of the Virginia Freight Association, which tn- cludes the Pennsylvania and its coastwise steamer connections and the and Ohio, the Southern States Freight A: ciation, including the Southern and o ds, and the roads in the Mississippi V and Southwestern Association, reduced rates in consequence of the matter, The commissioners of these assoclations are in telegraphic communication today and a is probable that notice will be filed wing all cut rates cn these lines. marked among railroad men tha! tes so far ak announ¢ 1s Involved applies to rn point south to ed by th freight to the those 15 . and not east and north. taken by the Southe: in the matter is exa’ - of that until now occupie from the Rail- the the ly Dy Seaboard, and the former will, with the other railroads composing the Southern States Freight Association, restore rates in all directions to those which were in € fect before the present rate war begar asx soon as the provisions of the inte state commerce law can be with. This course was decided upon a meeting of the executive board of t held this week at already been brie tar. ‘Those at the mecting were Vice President - W. Findley ‘Traffic Manager Culp of the Southern, Vice President S. R. Knott of the Louisville and Nashville, Traffic eager Sheilman of the Central, President G. C. Smith of the Atlanta and West Point, Traflle Manager Brown of the Western and Atlantic, Traffic Manager Pleasants of the Florida Central and Peninsular, Commi sioner H. S. Haines and Messrs. Will end Eugene P. Black, counsel for the asso- clatio: The various questions involved in the in- junction by Judge Speer were discussed at much length, and it was fully decided that there was no Course open to the association to pursue and comply with the order but to restore the rates to the figures above stated. The future policy of the association was also discussed, as was the legal position of the various roads interested, but the resto- ration of rates was the only matter decided upon. Judge Speer’s Jurisdiction. The question of Judge Speer’s jurisdic- tion 1s attracting a vast amount of atten- tion, and there is a great difference of cpinion on the subject. Judge Speer is a United States district judge, and, in®the words of 9 lawyer, “while district judges have the authority to sit as circuit judges, it is only within their own districts and for the district judge adjoining co-ordinate jurisdiction, and !f one judge could act as cireuit judge for the whole circuit there might be the greatest confusion, as it would be possible for a Texas or Maryland dis- trict judge to sit as a circuit judge and enjoin a railroad in Georgia or California which did not go within a thousand miles of his district. It frequently occurs that a district judge will sit as a circuit judge. Sometimes a judge will decide a case as district judge and then, sitting as circuit judge, to hear an appeal and sustain or reverse himself, and it generally occurs in such cases that the lower court is sus- tained.” It is stated that the Seaboard will claim when the case comes up for argument that Judge Speer has exceeded his authority and that while he could enjoin the Georgia railroad at Augusta, or the Central or Southern, under seme circumstances, at Savannah, he could not enjoin the Atlant and West Point, or the Western and At- lanuc, any more than he could enjoin the New York Central or the Chicago and Northwestern, neither of which is in his judicial circuit. If this be true, it is claim- ed, it follows that he could not enjoin the main rate cutter. It will also ve claimed, it is said, that the Seaboard people wi!l contend that the declaration made in the case is faul that the person who filled the bill asserted therein that the Southern railroad is an inhabitant of the northeastern division of the southern district of Georgia, when such is not the fact. The Georgia, Carolina and Northern is also declared to be a citi- As a matter of fact, the Georgia, Carolina and Northern does not enter Judge Speer's district at all. The road passes through the counties of Foulton, De Kalb, Gwin- nett, Jackson, Oconee, Clarke, Madison and Elbert, all of which are in the north- ern district, oyer which Judge Newman presides. .The lawyers say that Judge Speer's jurisdiction as circuit judge ex- tends only to persons and property within his district ,the southern of Georgia, and it is denied that he can reach out and en- join a railroad«which does not enter his district. The question of Judge Speer’s jurisdic- tion is a puzzling one, and even the lawyers are divided on the points. The interstaic commerce law, section 16, says that when a railroad “shall violate or refuse or neg- lect to obey or perform any lawful order or requirement of the commission created by this act, not founded on a controversy requiring a trial by jury, as divided by the seventh amendment to the Constitution of the United States, it shall be lawful for the commission or for any company or per- son Interested in such order or requirement, to apply In a summary way, by petition, to the circuit court of the United States sitting in equity in the judicial district in which the common carrier complained of has its principal office, or in which the violation or disobedience of such order or requirement shall happen, alleging such vio- lation or disobedience as the case may be. The result of the approaching heari before Judge Speer is awaited with mu: “4 interest by railroad people. President Spencer's Letter. President Spencer of the Southern last evening sent a letter to President Hoffman of the Seaboard in reply to one sent by the former previous to Mr. Spencer's recent visit to Europe, and, after referring at much length to the various points raised by r. Hoffman regarding the controversy be- tween the two companies and to the efforis made by the Southern and other companies in the Southern States Freight Association to conserve the interests of all concerned, 8: A method had been provided by which the Seaboard could require that all arbitra- tion, to which it was a party, should be conducted under the form which it desired, TOGETHER. In bis able work entitled “LONGEVITY,” pub- lsbed 4 few years ago, Dr. John Garduer of Eng- land predicts that a VEGETABLE AGENT will yet be found that shatl so retard those changes that bring about old age as to prolong human Ife be- yond its present limit. Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse produced by this thought, many eminent physicians bave called from time to time upon the Shakers of Mt. Leba- non to inquire of them concerning the secrets of medicinal plants, in which these sincere, simple- minded and God-fearing people sre known to be wise and skillful beyond all other men. ‘The Shakers willingly told what they had learned, and tm return recetved from their visitors much valuable hhiformation about disease; which they at once made practical use of. ‘Phe most important point was that if a genuine and certain remedy could be found for indigestion and dyspeysia, and the ailments growing out of tt, a Jong step would be taken in the right dinection.

Representative Strode of Nebraska who called recently at republican headquarters said: “The republicans of Nebraska are making substantial gains, and will con- tinue to do so until the close of the cam- paign. The money question has heretofore been discussed from the free silver stand- point only. The people of the state are rapidly informing themselves with refer- ence to the money question, and the repub- licans are making rapid gain, by reason of this information. The electoral vote of Nebraska will be carried by the republi- cans by a substantial majority. Had the election occurred within three or four weeks after the Chicago convention, the Bryan electors would probably have car- ried the state by ten or fifteen thousand majority. The fusionists are much dis- Satisfied over the tail-end of their ticket. If Sewail is forced from the ticket, as many seem to think he will be, I am of the opinion that it will benefit the republi- can chances in Nebraska. There many free silver democrats who are not in favor of making it possible for a pronounced populist to become President of the United States. Many of the advocates of free silver are also protectionists, and may for- bear their desires to see free silver pre- vail for the sake of restoring a pr ive tariff.” —— Death of Capt. Hoyt.
