LUMBER DEALERS LOSE CASE.
Mississippi Judge Dissolves Injunc
tion Against Roads.
Ja kson. Miss., May 29.—(Special.)—Fed
eral Judge Henry Niles has dissolved the
temporary injunction granted the lum
ber dealers of Mississippi some days ago
restraining the railroads doing business
in this state from increasing the rates on
lumber 2 cents per hundred.
The decision is the most important de
cided in this state for many years, the
lumber business being the largest several
railroads handle.
Judge Niles stated that the real ques
tiou presented was whether the federal
court, working through its powers o£
equity and by its right of injunction,
can, in effect, fix and perpetuate sched
ule of freight rates. He does not think
tlie court has jurisdiction to grant the
relief sought and for that reason sus
tained tlio demurrer, dissolved the in
junction ami dismissed the bill.
That means the railroads hauling lum
ber from points in Mississippi to points
out of the state, especially to Ohio river
points and beyond and west of Buffalo
and Pittsburg, may increase rates 2 cents
per hundred pounds, which is an im
portant item.
CUBA AND PLATT AMENDMENT.
Negotiations To Give Amendment Ef
fect at Standstill.
Washington, May 26.—Although Min
ister Squiers is extremely anxious to com
plete the negotiations to give effect to
tlie Platt, amendment, these have come to
a standstill through absence from Ha
vana of Senor Zaldo, the Cuban minist r
for foreign affairs, who was summoned
to New York by tlie serious illness of his
daughter.
Mr. Squiers had prepared the way tor
a treaty defining the status of tlie Isle
of Pines and this would have completed
the work of treaty-making. It is believed
that this last treaty will confirm (lie
right of Cuba to the Isle of pines, al- I
though it will provide ample safeguards I
for tlie considerable American interests I
there.
