Ly The Interstate Commerce Commission to-day opened the hearing of the rail- roads which bave petitioned for an ex- tension of the time in which they ‘may comply i the law of 1893 reatiiring them to equip their cars and engines with omatic car-couplers, handrails and brake The representatives or attorneys | of several hundred railroads and aiso.of cading labor organizatione were present. John Cowen, one of the receivers of. the ore and Ohio, ‘presented the gen. ject to the commission on behalf he L ke Shore Railroad. The bu ess of the railrcads of the country, he said, was largely a uunit, and those roads which Lad equipped their cars could not haul unequipped cars withous technically vio- lating the law. Mr. Cowen. said he was.chairmanof a committee ai this hearing which repre- | sented about 600,000 of the 933,000 ireight- | s-engaged in inlerstate’ commeree.

He urzed that ihe exiension he granted for five years, with provision for an eqdip- mient ‘of one-fifth of the ¢arseach vear, thus working up to fall compliance, - He further said that it would cost from $40,: 000,000 to $50.000,000 for the railroadsto comply with the law. This money must be éarned. If {hecommission declined an extension the roaas would be absolutely unable to equip their cars cutof their own resource-.

The associations ior which he appeared were a unicin protesting against any such unreasonable extension as bad been pro- posed. Five years, he said, would reuder theé purpose o. the law nug During tire past five years 2 been kilied aunually, and Beiween 20,000 and 25,000 injured. Of thote casualiles 60 per cent were direcuiy attributed to 1he evils this law was designed. 1o correci The siaughter would continue as.iong as the present conditions remaiyed. He re- plied rather heatedly 1o the intimation of wage reduction thrown out by Mr. Cowen. I speak in no defiant spirit,” said ne, | “but I want to say that wheunjihe question cf areduction of wuges is presented tous we will meet it. If the alternative of re- ducinz wages or the maiming and death of its members were presenied to the or- ganizations whieh I represent 1 c¢o noi tiesitate 10 say that they would prefer o} goout ard equip the roads themseives.” | He called attention to the great finan-| cial-losses the benelicial associations of | the railroads bad suostained. In death | and disability cizims two million dol- | brake the law'w lars had been paid out during the past | five years. Enough tocompletely equip a | road like the Louisville and Nashviii Mr, Morrissey said the maximum exten-! 507 ‘must not exceed a year. Mr. Juijus | Rosenaale of Philadelphia, on bebalf of | himself and wany emineat divines whom ! he said he represented, and among whom he mentioned Cardinal Gibbons, entered a | vrotest againsi granting any extens.on of | time. The hearing to-day closed with a some- what sensational excuange between Mr, Cowen 2na Mr, Morri Mr. Cowen inaignantly repudiated the idea that Mr. ssey in anv way represented the | > of the Baltimore and Onio Rail- Tuese employes, he declared, had uoL been consulted, and he resented tue assumption of the labor leaders that they represented the workers on his road. Mr. Morrissey jumped to his feet when Mr. Cowen sat down. zhty-five per cent of the employes of the Baitimore and Ouio road, he sa.d, were members of the Bro:herhood of Railway Trainmen, and at the Toronto convention last years be had unanimously bzen empowe:ea to state the po-itiou of its members 1o the Inter- state Commerce Coimission. *I said the question of a year's exten- sion had never been presented to the em- | vloves of the Baltimore and Ohio,” in- terrupted Mr. Cowen, “and I repeat it.” ““Tue Toronto convention,” reiorted Mr. Morrissey, *voiedagainstany extension.” | He then expiained iurther that he had appealed to ihe convention not to tic his hands, but to leave him free {o use his judgment, and that that discretion bad veen accorded him.

Its C aimants Awaken to Find a Dweiling in Thelir Graln | Fled, ; Special Dispatch to THE CALL. PORTLAND, Dec. 1.—A case of land- jumping has occurred in the south end of Benton County, and the title to 198 acres of cultivated land worth $4000 is involved. | The land was purchased by Noah Starr from the Schoo! Superintendent of Ben- ton County in 1860 for $1060. Starr re- mained in undisputed possession until 1882, when a flaw in his title was diccov- ered, end a new deed to correct his title was given him by the Bchool Land Com- missioners. Fifteen years ago Starr died and in his will the tract was givea to M. C. Siarr, a son, who remained in peaceful possession until last Thanksgiving dav. While the family was at breakfast that morning attention was atiracted by the call of some one in another room, who said thers was a house in the grainfield. Investigation showed that the house had been erected on the premises during the night by two brothers named Bhinn, who were the occupants. They claimed perfect title to the property. Starr ordered the brothers off the premises, but they refused 10 go. He then brought proceedings in a local justice court, with the result that the Bhinns were awarded possession of the land. from the Land Office showing that they bad filed on the land in the middle of October. Th~ case wiil probably involve a bitter lawsuit. Another Insurancs Agent for California. CHICAGO, Dec. 1L—Manager R. H.

C., Dec. 1. ‘The board - anpointed by -authority of of an} plant -mede’ ‘its rteport | h*Commodore Howeil to Secretary | Long to-day. - The cost of a rlant suitable for the making of naval armor at the rate | of about 600 tons per annum, which is | cqual to the capacity of both the existing | private plants, is set down as about | $3.750 000. The report of the board, which may be strengthened by an in- dorsement by Secretary Long, will make | it quite evident that the Government cannot undertake to make i's own armor | at the co t named as the limit of price to | | be paid 1o private firms in the last naval | apvropriation b1l The Armor Factory Board in summing up says: First—An armor factory comprises essentia ly | a collection ot special fu.naces, heavy machine | tools and applisnces that aré not needed in jany other class of work, and a class of labor peciaily skilled in tne business. | Second—A Government armor fectory not | connected with an establishwment engaged in other branches of the steel indusiry would | | depend for its success and economic ed- | | minisuration upon a constant demand for ax | | output nearly approsching is fuli capacity. | Third—If the Government should estabi sh | afactory iis efficient and economic mainten- | ance would necessarily depend upon a con- | stant yearly approp:iation for ships to be pro- vided with armor. because the armor pro- duced at any time must be specially designca | for and fitted to those ships. Any failure to | | appropriate for &hips in uny one year wonld require the cessation of work and the laying off indefinitely of the skilled experts and la- borers that had been trained v this indusiry. A resumption of work at a later period would require the training at a considerable expense of w new set of men. The following are the estimaies for the cost, exclusive of iand, of a plant capable | of making and furnishing readv for the | | installment on board ship of 6000 tons per | year of nickel steel, face-hardened, re- | fn%d armor. ese estimates are made without exact knowledge of the local couditions of the site that might be selected. No freight is included. Five per cent has been aliowed, however, for erecting and engineering ex- penses, and it 1v thought that 5 per cent additional allowance would ¢ over all con- tingencies under the worse conditions that may be encountered.

Rublin at the outset was awkwara and Kyan, in peint of ¢leverness, showed con- siderable superiority. ~ The Australian, realizing “his advantage, fought for the body and in the first eight rounds landed with plenty of force. “Fer a time this weakened Rublin, but be zained courage and finaliy became stronger and captured theday. H:sblows in the last two rounds were nard and Rvan was groggy and could hard!y have stood the terrible rain of blows a round longer. On every side Ryan was given praise for his gemenessand brilliancy, while Rublin was ~imply looked upon asa husky heavy- | weight, with little cuance of ever becom- ing a champion. Referee Duffy admitted that Ryan did the greater part of the leading, but claims Rauhiin countered him atclose positiong, and unquestionably outfought the smaller man, and in ihe last tworounds Ryan was praciically a beaten man, and his oppo- nent was deserving of the decision.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—A special to the Herald from Cincinnati Secretary Hoepper of the Turl Congress said to-day: “Every horse, owner, jockey and oflicer of Pimlico racetrack who took part in the races to-day have outlawed themselves. I do not say this was the action cf the Tarf Congress, but according to the con- stitution and by-laws they have become outlaws on the tracks operated by the Turf Congress. Our constitution is very plain, It says that there shall be no rac- ing during January, February and De- cenber. We have outlawed those running at St. Asaph, Alexander, Sincerly and Irof Hill, and I can see no difference in the case at Pimlico. Those who have been outlawed at Iron Hiil and Singerly were never reinstated by the congress, although a great many have been reiustaied by the Jockey Club. They may race on the Jockey Club’s tracks, but cannot race on congress courses. “From now on we will receive a report daily from our man at Pimlico giving wus the names of all horses, owners, jockeys and officers of the track who race.” These names will Le forwarded daily to members of the Turf Congress, which means that Pimlico people will be outlawet on all tracks which ars members of the congress and those racing under the protection of the congres.” ——- SCHAEFER AND SLOSSON WIN, Defeat Sutton and Daly in the Billiara Tournamet.
