RAILROAD RATES.
Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 7.—The Rail
road Commission to-day heard arguments
from various railroad officials to show that
existing rates are reasonable and just. Maj.
Conaiit, of the Florida Southern, presented
an excellent paper showing the workings of
that road, and demonstrating that, while
the receipts exceeded the running
expenses, the net receipts are not
sufficient to pay interest on the
I Kinds by means of which the road was
built. Kupt. Moran, of the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West, President Ingraham,
of tiio South Florida, G. D. Aikerly, of the
Orange Belt and others showed similar re
sults and asked that the present rates lie
confirmed. Supt. Maxwell, of the Florida
Railway and Navigation, read an ex
haustive argument showing that existing
rates are very' low, reasonable and
just. He showed that while his road has rates
a< low as those established by the Georgia
Railroad Commission, the tonnage per mils
is less than half that of the Georgia road,
and hence the net profit is greatly less than
in Georgia. All joined in asking that the
freight classification of the Southern Rail
road anil Steamship Association Is* adopted
by tlie board for Florida companies so uni
formity would lie insured. The board then
adjourned with the understanding that
future communication between the commis
sion and railroads would bo mutual when
necessary.
SLUGGING AT CHARLESTON.
The Birmingham Club Beaten by Only
Three Runs.
Charleston, S C., Sept. 7.—The game
this afternoon was one of the dreariest slug
ging matches ever witnessed. Only' a hand
ful of people was present, and most of these
left before the close of the game. Smith
and Nicholas and Webber and Snyder were
the opposing batteries. For a time it looked
as if the babies were going to have their own
way, but the local club soon rallied and
then the slugging began on both sides It
was kept up till dark without a single re
deeming feature to enliven save two phe
nomenal foul fly catches. Luck, a reserve
player of the Charleston club, was put up
to umpire, and the visitors got decidedly
the worst of close decisions. The score by
innings follows:
Charleston 0 2 5 1 0 0 1 2 o—ll
Birmingham 3 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0— 8
Errors—Charleston 3, Birmingham 1.

New Orleans, La., Sept. 7. —New Or
leans won to-day by good hard hitting.
Black lost heart early, and his heart was
completely broken when MeVey hit a home
run when two men were on bases. Billy'
Smith next tried his hand, and was also
pounded. McAleer finished the game, and
although hit, is quite 11 pitcher, possessing
terrific speed. Both sides played a pretty
fielding game, although Memphis carried
off the liono.-s. A one banded-stop and
throw by Phelan and a fine liv catch by
Smith, in right field, were the fielding
features. Will ler pitched three innings and
only two hits were made off him. Powell
finished the game and did some pretty work.
In one inning, with two men on biases, he
struck out McAleer, Andrews and Doyle in
succession. McKeough and Wells both
caught well. The score by' innings follows:

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 8, 1887.
THE MACKAY CABLE.
WILL IT PASS INTO THE HANDS
OF JAY GOULD 7
Dr. Norvin Green Says the Million
aires Have Seen Each Other Person
ally About the Sale, but that Mackay
Asks Too Much—The Californian Is
Tired of Cable Wars, and Some Say
He Needs Money.
From the A 'em York World.
There are now several good reasons for
believing that Jay Gould will acquire,
within a very short time, not only the Bal
tiinore and Ohio Telegraph Company, but
Mr. Mnckny’s Commercial Cable Company
its well, and the thousands of miles of land
lines that Mr. Mackay practically owns.
Negotiations looking to some kind of a
union between the Gould and Mackay in
forests buve iioen in progress for some time.
These negotiations have been conducted by
Messrs. Gould and Mackay personally,
wheuever Mr. Mackay lias been in New
York, and in his absence by S. L. M. Bar
low, of counsel for Mackay, and Dr. Green.
At these conferences the books, partic
ularly of the Cable Company, were freely
shown. Negotiations have not !<een inter
rupted for a day since Mr. Mackay's return
from Europe last mouth. There is, there
fore, every prospect that Mr. Muckay's
broad scheme of a big cable and telegraph
competition in the interest of the general
public will go the way of many smaller and
earlier enterprises, the Western Union and
the Cable pool will swallow the Commercial
Cable Company and its connecting land
lines, and telegraph stock will begin to
climb, according to some enthusiastic bulls,
toward the hundred mark.
One thing which stands in the way of
Mackay’s turning over all his cable and tele
graph properties to his rival is a question of
pride. Mr. Mackay does not want to sell
out and vanish utterly from tho public
gaze, and then be ridiculed by those who
iiad hailed him as the sworn eternal foe of
telegraph monopoly. He wants to figure in
tho combined company somehow or other.
He desires, not unnaturally, to have a prom
incut place in the reorganized board. At
all events, Mr. Mackay has certainly lie
coine heartily tired of the cable war and of
having vast sums of money locked up in
properties that are unproductive and a con
stant drain on his resources. Then, strong
and vigorous as he is, Mr. Mackay is begin
ning to realize t ha* the work lie has done of
late years, divided as it is between San
Francisco, New York tind London, is pecu
liarly hard and wearing and very likely to
tell bn a man who is now well on to tJO years
of age.
Another reason why Mr. Mackay has not
moved promptly in tuese dealings is his fear
that bis action would be ascribed to finan
cial embarrassment growing out of the losses
sustained by the Nevada Bank in the wheat
deal in San Francisco. D. O. Mills is said
to have estimated that the Nevada Bank
lost in that deal about $(i.000,000, divided
evenly between Mackay and Flood.
When Dr. Norvin Green, President of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, was
asked about the history and nature of the
negotiations between Messrs. Gould and
Mackay, he said: “The negotiations between
Mr. Gould and Mackuv about the Commer
cial Cable Company began early in tho sum
mer, before Mr. Mackay went to Europe.
Mr. Mackay communicated with Mr. Gould,
and it was entirely at Mr. Mackay s in vita -
tio i that they met. Mr. Gould was not at
all well, and he did not care to go into any
extended business conferences. He wanted
me to go into the matter, but I persuaded
him to attend to it himself, and he did. Mr.
Gould and Mr. Mackay hail three meetings
I think, but nothing was done, because when
certain propositions were formulated Mr.
Mackay said that he wanted to consul' Mr.
Bennett, and the opportunity to do so would
of course be afforded him when he reached
Europe.”
“This was the first time Mr. Gould and
Mr. Mackay met, was it not?”
“Yes, and they liked each other very
much. They are something of the same
kind of men, frank and outspoken in con
versation and saying what they mean every
time. When Mr. Mackay arrived here one
Sunday last mouth Mr. Barlow communi
cated with Mr. Gould at once, asking on Mr.
Mackay’s behalf a meeting on Tuesday
morning at his (Mr. Barlow’s) house, No. 1
Madison avenue. Mr. Gould responded and
they met, but during the day Mr. Mackay
was suddenly called to California by the ill
ness of his partner, Mr. Flood, and tho
threatening developments in tho wheat deal.
Since that time Air. Barlow and I have
been in correspondence, but nothing of u
definite character has been reached.”
“What stands in the way of a settlement
of this matter now?”
“They want too much—altogether too
much.”
“You mean that the terms are too high?”
“They want too much. That’s all I can
say.”
“In the proposed bargain Air. Alackay
wishes to stipulate, does he not, that you
shall make tho rate 40c.?”
“Yes, but I do not know that we would
have tiny objection to that. We are in
clined to believe that a 4(8:. rate would now
be the most profitable. We have tried all
kinds of rates, and up to this time the 50c.
rate lius brought us the handsomest returns.
More people, however, under the stimulus of
low rates, have got into the habit of using
the cable. At the 12c. rote the business has
increased 225 per cent,, and so long as the
rates are reasonable, a lurge portion of tho
new business would be hold. A 40c. rate
now would be, perhaps, just about right for
us and satisfactory to the public.”
Some interesting calculations as to Air.
Mackay’s wealth, and how he has dis
tributed it, havs been made. Senator Fair
and D. O. Mills concur in placing bis pos
sessions at $18,000,000 to $30,000,000, when
Mackay came East and launched into his
cable and telegraph enterprises. The cables
cost $7,000,000, of which Air. Bennett put in
$1,000,000. Then Air* Alackay bought
largely into the Postal Conqiuny and other
land lines. He has advanced money to the
United Lines. He recently put SOOO,OOO or
more into the lines along the Pacific coast.
In short, it is estimated that he has $10,000,-
000 in cables and telegraphs. Ho gave Mrs.
Alackay $5,000,000 in government bonds,
and if lie ha* really lost $.3,000,000, $18,000,-
000 of his fortune is accounted for. It will
thus be seen that Mr. Mackay is in no posi
tion to continue an expensive cable war
with a great and powerful combination like
the Western Union Telegraph Company.
Charleston Boiled Down.
Jake Meyers, a colored laborer. fell from
the roof of the new police station, Tuesday,
and died in a few hours from the injuries
received.
At a meeting of the Palmetto Guard, hold
Tuesday night, First Lieut. A. A. Krneg was
unanimously elected Captain of the com
pany, vice Capt. Bull, who resigned a short
time ago. Mr. Kroeg was selected by the
nominating committee, and their choice was
confirmed Ly the company last night in the
most flattering maimer.
A joint meeting of the Charleston ex
change and Merchants’ Exchange commit
tees on improved freight facilities to New
York was field Tuesday at t'ue Charleston Ex
change. The Exchange committee stated
that they had an interview with Mr. Cour
tenay, agent of the Clyde Line, who stated
that ho would do everything in his [lower to
further the object of the committee. He
had already telegraphed to Mr. Clyde, and
would com'inunicate with the committee as
soon us ail answer was received. Through
courtesy to Mr. Courtenay the com
mittee udjourned without taking anv action.
It was the expressed sentiment of the meet
ing, however, tliut. there should he another
line of steamers between Charleston an i
New York. Mr. E. L. Wells, one of the
representatives of the Exchange, was in
favor of procecdingHl once towards the es
tablishment of an opposition line, and urged
it as the only means of getting Mm proper
slumung facilities He silo wot that it was
to Mr. Clyde’s nd vantage to mak Florida
his terminus. If the merchants of Charles
ton allowed themselves to lie milke I Mr.
Clyde could uot be blamed lor m iking
them. The one thing necessary wis to
make Charleston a terminus, anil this Air.
Clyde was not willing to do. The result
was that it was never possible to.tell what
sort of a showing the Charleston freight
was going to get. If the steamers got a
good load in Florida the capacity for
Charleston freight was necessarily limited,
and shippers were obliged to see their
freight left on tho dock to wait its chances
on the next steamer that happened to come
along.

Henry J. Aybrs, of Naugatuck, Ct., is the
possessor of a “protecting certificate,” or a full
discharge from the British army. This was re
eeived in reply to his apptie ttiou to Queen
Victoria for a “Jubilee discharge,” as it is
called, Mr. Ayers having deserted from the
British army in time of peace and emigrated to
this country. His application was forwarded
none too soon, as the period during which
"Jubilee discharges” will be granted is nearly
at an end.
Advice to Motners.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving
the child from pain und the lfttle cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re
lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the
best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether
arising from teething or other causos. 25
cento a bottle.
