I A Decision Reached at Ijaat, Washington, June 15 The inter- 4 state commerce, commission rendered' tonight its ! long expected decision, upon the 4th section of the inter-state; commerce act, which prohibits a'great-f er charge fori the transportation of passengers and properjby over a shorter: flWftt fldirectioa toder substantially!

The: decision is very long, comprising more than . 15,4 000: words, bat its most important feature is the announcement that the; commission, "after mature consider tion, is satisfied that the statute does -not require it to; pre-i scribe l in i Tery instance ! the) exceptional case and grant its order; for relief before .the carrier is at libl erty in its tariffs to depart frpm th4 general rule. 1 . The Carrie? most judge for itself what are the 'sub? stantially 'similar circumstances and conditions' which preclude the special rate, rebaie or drawback which U made unlawful by the second section! since no tribunal is empowered to judge for it until after the carrier hat 1 actdd, and then only for the purpose - of determinmg whether its actio constitutes a violation oi ine law. a The carrier judges on the pril o Iconseqdences, but the special rate, rebate or drawback which it grants is not illegal when it turns out that the circumstances and conditions were not such! as to forbid it; and as fi Congress r clearly intended this, I it must, also, when usmg the same words in the 4th section have I mtenaea tnai tne earner wnose pnvj- t ii i: l i - - t I lege was in the same way limited by them; - should in the' Same way act upon its judgment of the limiting cir cumstances and conditions.'' The coinmission therefore will not under take to decide in advance what con stitutes or what does not constitute discrimination "under substantially similar circumstances and conditions, but will leave the railroad companies in fixinir their tariffs to act upon their awn judgment and at their risk, subject tb accountability before the commis sion and the courts' in . cases where complaint is made by interested par ties of violation of the law. .

An extra edition of an evening paper sayi The indica tions now are that Kershaw & Co. fll pull through, and that the dozens 0f big failures that were imminent will be averted. Joe Wiltshire, of Cincinnati, the head an front of the wheat'clique, with a number of friends, is in town with a pile j of money to back up Kershaw & Col It' is said the Cincinnati crowd will insist be fore putting up that Kershaw's trades be reinstated. ThiB, Egglesioh, Ker shaw's partner, is able to do ; himself if he chooses. Kershaw said just be fore the opening of the board this morning: "I will pay aiiy differences today and margin the market. ;' Wilt shire said, "Kershaw has money and will go through today all right" j There were many anxious 1 com mission men ; in the j vicinity of of: the board of trade last nihgt. Their offices' were lighted and they and their clerks worked ;at their books until long after midnight. The sight presented in the neighborhood was on unusual one as every office building there was! lighted from top to bottom, ! J Even the casual observer would have suspected something wrong. There was no trouble in, finding com mission men who had been caught in the great break of a few hours before, ana Jess trouble in pre- vailing upon them to- talk. The universal opinion was that everything hinged upon Kershaw s ability to meet demands for margins and that unless he did. so his failure would carry down from thirty to fifty houses. There were some few Who thought that if Armour and Hutchinson and two or three o the other "big ones" would come forward thifi morning and help sustain the market that veritable panic could be averted, but even they I claimed that a great dealjdepended on I ilr. Kershaw. What fortunes were lost and won during the day no one can accurately estimated It is esti mated that not less thai 100,000,000 bushels were traded in during the day, representing an average loss or gain of $7,000,000. to $8,000,000. There was a loss of over $1,600,000 in cash wheat alone, besides the shrinkage 'in futures....

It began at 7 o'clock and settled the fate-of today's market, "'here were! present Joe Wiltshire, of Cincinnati, a middle sized swarthy man, ami Eggleston, Kershaw s special partner, whose for tune is at stake now,1 because, it is claimed, ho has been active in busi- ness. iiersnaw s iace snowed tne lines made by the terrible 48-hour strain. President D. . W!; Irwin,, of the bank, and of the firm of Irwin, Green & Co., was the - most de termined looking man of the lot Cashier Dewar, of the ibank, and several of the directors) were present This consultation began just as soon as Wiltshire got off the' Cincinnati train, foot of Lake street, and hurried ieHhe bank. He was accompanied by a good-looking, smooth-faced young fellow, whose sack coat; bulged as clerks some times do when they are hurrying to banks to make deposits. The pair at once entered the bank and the directors' room, where the others were to meet them. The' scene pre sented will not soon be forgotten. Kirshaw was busy writing. His face was haggard, bnt the man looked brave. Egglestonls face was a study, too, as be sat in this interview., Per spiration dropped from his brow and his great red beard was all awry. Wiltshire at 8 o'clock left the bank and walked to the corner of Dearborn and Monroe streets, where he met the young fellow who had accompanied j him on' the train and who had before i this left the: bank for the Richelieu j Hotel. The; young fellow's pockets 1 bulged acrain. The " two entered the bank, and in' thirty minutes more the council was over. Kershaw had money to pay his; duierences and to margin the market. Immediately after the opening f the board of trade the; secretary lapped for silence. It was a difficult '(thing to obtain, but when he finally! prevailed he read the fol-; lowing: j , . !' "Gentlemex We are prepared to: pay all our clearing-house differences and to niarsrin below the market.: I y C J. Kebshaw & Coi" i l Yells of delight broke out ; at this and the; galleries, which were: crowded to suffocation by ladies, re sponded by a waving of handkerchiefs ; The few I announcements of several: small failrds did not coont. i - ! The board pf trade " directors held a special session before the opening of 'change J today for the purpose of deciding whether not to take anyj action. It ivas thought when the; meeting was called fhat if. nnl1: ha rbesi to apjoiirn the board for the day: in oraer to &uow tne excitement ; to: cool off, i but jit was finally decided: that no action was necessary. 1 1 Up to half past 11 o'clock 8 fail ures had been, announced. The ex-; citementl in the pit increased fast, and the bear? were savagely raiding the market. At 11.52 a. m. July was sent down to 72J; from there it dropped to 72; then , then , then to 72r; then to 7JJ, then in one jump to 71.: The dropl to 71 was recorded at 21 minutes past noon. From this point it declined to 70, then recovered in jumps of to 70J and 71, then back to 70f, and at 12.11 p. m. was 71f for July and "l I for June. A few min utes afternoon Kershaw & Co. were officially posted as having failed to go; through, the j clearing. This meant their collapse. The immediate cause? of the failure was Rosenf eld & Co., who garn3sheed Kershaw's account in the American Exchange National' Bank. II . r ! I; p. m.

CBAIOE OTHEK NEWS BY WIRE. : " Washington, I. C , June 15.-The President today issued an order mod ifying his recent order consolidating the internal revenue districts so far as it affects collectors of districts in North Carolina The designation of Andrew J. Boyd as collector of the consolidated fifth district of North Carolina is revoked and Kerr Craige, of Salisbury, is; appointed to b$ col lector of that district from July 1st next. No changes whatever (have been made in the boundaries off the district as fixed by the original Order and it is understood tljat 1 the Presi dent has decided that there shall be none. In reference to the above subject, the Star'fit this evening has the follow ing: ''The internal revenue trouble in North Carolina has been settled by the President ' in appointing Kerr Craige, of Salisbury, N. C, collector for the new fifth district. Three collection districts in North Carolina, known as the fourth, fifth t and sixth, were recently consolidated and two new districts created named j the fourth and fifth. The new fifth dis trict, includes the whole territory of the old sixth, with the addition of six counties taken; from the old fifth. The effect of the consolidations was to leave Dowd,;the collector of the old sixth district the only resident collector in the new fifth, and to make collectors Yarborough ; and Boyd residents of the new fourth dis trict. The recent order of consolida tion designated collector Boyd a resident oi tne fourth district to be -collector district in; which Senators Vance Representative i of the new ; fifth Maj. Dowd resided, and Ransom and Henderson recent- ly called upon the President the I whole case before and laid i him. The President considered the matter very carefully, and finally con concluded that the only way out of the difficulty was to select a new man. It was conceded that collectors Boyd and Dowd had been faithful officers but it was feared a decision in favor ' of either would necessarily wound the feeling8 o lhe nf Lw4.t.nrfimrunniTjit n..nt of Tanceand Rangom, who both heartily endorse him.

Kerr Craige has served in the State legislature and was nominated for Congress; but declined. The same convention nom inated John S. Henderson, who how holds the office. 4 I 1 Hew Trk Cotton Fnlnrcs. ; New Yobk, June 15. Greene & Co's report on cotton futures says: The market has been feverish all day and without any very clear feature, except that the cost has averaged a trifle fuller than last evening, though without strength enough to hold the gam. mere has been some covering and this with no real selling pressure encouraged the bulls somewhat, but no real confidence could be found on the buying Side and European ad vices were tame throughout. : Briefly, it was simply a market without evi dence of many new orders from any quarter and fluctuations an a manner were nominal. ; An "Expert Forger Captured.
