J CAROLINA CENTRAL. The Corporation Commission . Will Fight Injunction Against ( Fertilizer Rates. ! ANSWER TO THE COMPLAINT. A Catling Scrape at the Caralelfb Mills. State Treasurer Worth Asked to Is- sue and Sell Peoiteatlary Bonds. ! The Penitentiary Debt. - Special Stair Correspondence. Raleigh,-N. C, June 16. The Corporation Commission has "decided to fitfht the recent Simon ton injunction against " enforcement of its new fertilizer rate on the Carolina Central railroad. To this end the commission has retained Shepherd and Busbee, of this city, as attorneys. . The Agricultural Department, rep resenting the interest, of the farmers of the State, willalso-take a band in the matter. It has-employed Battle and Mordecai as attorneys to assist the commission in figbtine the case in the courts. . - ; . " ; --The cpmmissioa has been in session this week, collecting data concerning the Carolina CentrarTates, to be-used in this case, and preparing an answer to the complaint. , - The Commission's Answer. This answer your correspondent is informed will bean exceedingly strong presentation of the case from the commission's point of view. It will review the history of the road, put forth 4be rates that have been charged and will show that it is not too low rates, as is claimed, but too high rates that make ,it unprosperous and bankrupt This' charge will be supported by figures taken from the road's own statement. The answer will show that on account of the excessive rate charged ttig- people along the line do not3f beljbver they can help it, pat roniit. It will ;be shown how the shippers at or near competing points invariably use the other router, though often they are three timeras long as the Carolina Central. From Wades boro, ,MaxtoDf Hamlet ana. Pembroke, for: instance,, cotton is shipped to Wil mington bv way of Florence, S. C, over the Coast line rather than direct over the Carolina Central, . which is about half the - distance of the other route. The fertilizers sent back come over the same long route the cotton went All this because of the Carolina Central's high rates; hence the pov erty of the road. In this same connection, the com mission will in its answer, point ' out that the road runs from the principal seacoast city of the State, through the middle of its cotton belt, to the ex treme western part of the State. On its way it touches at many of the most thriving towns and cities in North Carolina and passes through Robeson, Richmond, Anson, Union, Mecklen burg, Lincoln, Gaston and Cleveland counties. The firstiour are among the richest agricultural counties in the State and the last four are dotted all over with cotton mills. The first f ourTT with the adjoining counties, raise the cotton and the last four named manu facture it, while the factories at Wil mington make the fertilizers. These, and other facts of a like na ture, lead the commission to the con clusion that the widow in New York "who is ostensibly bringing this suit, has ground and good ground for com plaint, but it is against the manage ment of the road, it alleges, and not against the commission. She began with over a million dollars holdings in this road and now three-quarters of this has been lost. The commission will in its answer charge that the road is being purposely mismanaged in order to build up the branches of the system, if not to wreck it and freeze out the small stockholders.

The Issue of Penitentiary Bonds. .. . , x The Executive Board of the Peni tentiary to-day deposited a written re quest with State Treasurer Worth, to issue 'and sell bonds as provided i n section 2, chapter 607, laws of 1899, in amount sufficient to raise $64,165 for the purchase of the Caledonia farms and to cover expenses of issuing and selling said bonds. The Attorney General to-day ruled that under the act authorizing the' issue of bonds to pay the penitentiary debt, only debts contracted before De cember 31st, 1898, can be paid with money received from the sale of bonds. Debts contracted since that time must be paid -out of the regular appropria tion. The' State Treasurer will ob serve the ruling in paying claims. I KNIQHTS TEMPLAR.

SEVERE DENUNCIATION OF STANDARD OIL TRUST? Independent Refineries Driven Into Bank. raptcy Railroad Companies Large"---' ly to Blame. ' - . - ' By Telegraph to the Xernlns 8tar. . j 1 Washington, .fane 17. The Indus trial Commission to-day heard. a state ment from L. M. Lock wood, an -oil' producer of Zelienplcy Pennsylvania, in opposition to Jhe Standard r Oil Trust. Mr. Lockwood ; declared that, this company f had driven the indepen dent refineries into bankruptcy aud servitude and he denounced the course pursued in severe terms. "He holds the railroads-especially responsible for this condition of affairs. ' Going back to 1872 he refers -"at length, to a contract made by the trunk : lines of Pennsyl vania with the South Improvement. Company. Under.; this contract," "he said, the' freight rates on -oil were doubled, and one-half the amount col lected was paid back as a rebate not only this, but the contract company received a like -rebate on " the ship ments of all other companies.; This contract, he declared, had been secret ly continued by the railroads with the Standard Oil Company. r. He quoted A. J. Casset, the new president of the "Pennsyl vnia Railroad Company,' as testifying before the Inter State Rail way Commission, to the effect that while the open rate to ; the public was $1.90 per barrel, the rate tojhe Standard Oil Company was 80 "cents. Further investigation, said Mr, Lock wood, had developed the fact that the railroad companies actually received 35 cents This condition of affairs has resulted, for a time, - according to the witness. in giving the Standard Com-: pany a profit of 400 per cent, while the independent refineries were being rap idly driven into bankruptcy.' ; Mr. Lockwood was free in the use of epithets, characterizing both the oil company and railroad officials as high. waymerr&nd brigands. "If you have got to be robbed," he exclaimed, "it does not matter much whetner you are held up by Dick Turpin with a pistol, or by John Rockefeller with a rail road; it is robbery all the same." He said that men who had carefully analyzed the testimony taken, before the Hepburn' committee, estimated that in sixteen months time the five trunk lines of Pennsylvania had paid to the Standard company $11,000,000 in rebates The. railroad companies had, he said, completely ignored the orders of Interstate Commission to cease their discrimination in favor of the Standard company, the latter re sorting then to the system of-the false billing. " ." . speaking of the remedy for the evil Mr. -Lockwood said It was in public ownership of the railroads and it was not to be found in the courts the courts were too slow, and expensive. He considered all the railroads of the country as practically one gigantic trust and asserted that they were in control of our politics, contributing millions to elect leisglators, senators and judges and to punish those not willing to do their bidding. . POWDER MILL EXPLOSION. Buildings Demolished Poor Employes T Killed and Three Wounded. . By Telegraph to the Horning Star. San Rafael, Cal , June 17. The-j United States Smokeless Powder Com pany's factory, situated on Point San Pedro, several miles from this town, was the soene of a diastrous explosion to-day.- As a result four employes were killed and -three seriously in jured, while six buildings were de molished by the shock and the flames. . It is surmised the primary cause of the explosion was the criminal care lessness of one of the workmen, who was smoking in the eraininsr room. The quantity of smokeless powder in volved in the explosion is estimated at four tons and the concussion was tremendous. A second explosion quickly followed the first and soon four of the mixink houses were in flames and were entirelv consumed. The property damage to-day will not proDabiy exceed $15,000. .

' -' . "I thanked Ganeral Otis for his gra - cious reception ' and hastened to ask President Schurman for. more ample information. . " I . 'Mr. Schurman. Iam happy to have the occasion of saying, is-a very re markable man, of "high intelligence and .profound erudition.:- Nobody could be more worthy of the mission which has been entrusted to him. Unhappilly, I believe he is powerless to obtain satisfactory results. "Why" ! said to him. -"has not America established in the Philippines the protectorate ; system, like which , France has installed in Tunis and Annam ?" '.'1 - ' ' . - "It is impossible," replied Mr.Schur- man, "and 1 will tell you the reason- why. At Tunis there is a bey and in Annam an emperor, and your -protectorate is exercised over a stable gov ernment Here' there is nothing of the kind. . We are in the presence of regular anarchy, and you cannot es tablish a protectorate over a govern ment which does hot exist" " 'But,' I askedj !in default of a pro tectorate will you accord to the Fili pinos the same regime as exists be tween Canada and Great Britain; that is to say. a sort of autonomy with the recognition of American sovereignty' "'Yes,' answered Mr. Schurman, after a moment's reflection, 'I do not see, so far as I am concerned, any ob jection to the establishment of such a system.' - J. "Then Mr. Scnurman put some questions to me. He notably asked me why public opinion in France ap peared to .be somewhat hostile to the United States. " 'This hostility,' I explained, is in no way general, j It is evident that the reactionaries and the clericals of France would feel more sympathetic towards Spain, monarchical and Catholic But we republicans have not ceased to. hope for your triumph. Only, at the present time, we fear to see American democracy dragged into the wanderings of jingoism and of extreme militarism and we see there a new danger for universal peace.' Mr. Schurman then said with a great deal of firmness: 'You are wrong to be alarmed The United States are too much attached to liberty to become a military nation in the special sense which you attach to the term in France. The people would never tol erate it Of this you can be assured.' "Admiral Dewey . received me on board the Olympia and I lost no time in complimenting : him on the victory which he had wozl " : -Very modestly the admiral replied that the greater part of the credit .was due to his sailors who had behaved so gallantly and to his officers who had seconded him so well. - - ' 'And now Admiral,' I said, 'what do you think of the situation?' " 'In the first place,' he answered, 'I have, great hope in the success of the conferences which Mr. Schurman has nearly every day with the Fili pino . delegates. And, in any case, Aguinaldo will be obliged to submit, sooner or later. He has around him too many generals and too few sol diers to resist us.' ; " 'But' I replied, 'should it not be recognized that the insurgents fight admirably?' I.'" . " 'Certainly, yea,' answered the ad-" miral, 'and I render them full justice on that point. They fight well, but they are children, I incapable of mili tary tactics.' j - " 'Aguinaldo, daring the war with Spain, was not our ally, as has .been claimed. We sever made ft treaty of alliance with him, and we never prom-, ised him anything.? -.-'!'Aa I was not. willing to take too much of the Admiral's time, I re tired "';' -u V.;-- - "One evening I visited Florentine Torres, president of the Philippine committee of Manila. Torres was a magistrate under Spanish rule and is a very intelligent man. He said: "'The position of the 'Philippine committee is a very difficult one. We are doing what we can to bring about pacification. But when we shall have found a solution of the question with Mr. Schurman, it wilL be necessary "to cause Aguinaldo to accept it, and there will be a great difficulty.' . , "Why do you fear the opposition of Aguinaldo f Is he an ambitious dan?", " 'No, but he has illusions. He hopes for the intervention of the great Euro pean powers, as in Crete, and he even counts on the co-operation of Japan.' "And you, sir, for what do you hope ?' : ; r '. ... "Oh, as for myself,' I hope the war will soon be finished, for it is ruining us. We landed proprietors would ac cept a government similar to that of Canada. We in no way wish for the departure of the Americans, for in that case our fortunes would be swept away. i'Why so, I asked with, astonish ment. Because, I assure you, it is not only a question of Aguinaldo and his troops, of a nationalist movement .but above all of a socialist and revolution ary movement created by the insur rection, the lowerj class of "people and many of the chief military social-, ista. : - .i--.:r'',L-r;-:. .?-Z-rr "I afterward had Interviews succes aively with several influential Fili pinos, notably .with Gregoric Aranete, the first minister of justice of the gov ernment of Aguinaldo. ; They all confirmed- the .statement of 'A Torres' Aranete fcshowed himself irritated at e policy of the United States toward the Filipinos., , - " "My personal impressions ar6T v;.i f - wa8 struck with the fine pres ence of ryouf- soldiers.
