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. Two-baggers—Charleston 4. Birmingham 4. Three-baggers—Charleston 1.

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 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.
