Separate Amerleae* From Foreigners,
Wahuihoton, May 18 ?The svpaeme
court of the United -States decided! to?
day la the oase of Plessy t/s. Ferguson,
that the statute of the State of (Lotlt
lana requiring railroad companies; to
?apply separate coaches for white ind
oolored persons is oonitttutlonal, afHrfn
Ing the deoisloa of the court below.
.Justice Brown delivered the opinion.
Justlee Harlan dissented. \
Justice Brown dismissed thlflicase with
a very brief opinion, merely saying that
the State legislation In this case was
analogous with legislation providing
separate schools 'for colored and white
children. Pleasy, a mulatto, was pat
out of a coach on the Baat Louisiana
railroad set apart for whites and was
placsd under artest for violation of the
law.
The proceeding in this court was
based upon an application for a writ of
prohibition against the trial of the caBe
by Judge Ferguson, of Section A of the
criminal district court for the parish of
Orleans. This application was first
made to the supreme court of Louisiana
and was denied. Justice ?rown's opin?
ion affirmed the State court's opinion.
Juetice Harlan, la his dissenting
opinion, said that it would be juBt as
reasonable to require separate ooaoheB
for Americans and foreigners, for men
of Latin race and those of the Teutonic,
or for men of differing views on politi?
cal or religious questions, or to require
that one side of the street ehould be set
aside for whites and the other for
blacks. He contended that the law was
repugnant to the thirteenth amendment.
Railroads were, he said, public high?
ways to the use of which citizens are
entitled.

ANOTHER MONOPOLY. '
The Ice Combination Mow Hm the Feoi>l?
.? o. lotDok? liy the Throat.
/ Last year a combination was formed
among the ioe dealers of this oily'for
the purpose of advancing the price on
ice. After this was done the proprietor
ot the Salem lee Company. Mr. A. Kalt
hoff, eame here, and according to hie
statement, agreed to rent the npper
factory on Centre avenue n. w., and
manufacture ice tor the city. The com?
bination promptly offered an advance of
8100 on the rental price, which was? ac?
cepted by the owners, and the conse?
quence wae that the faotory stood idle
for the year. Mr. Kalthoff at once in?
creased the outpnt of the Saleaa faotory
and haeled his surplus ioe to this city
and offered It to the people at 40 cents
per hundred pounds. The combination
bee anas alarmed and reduced the "com?
bine" arlee to meet the competition thus
made by the Salem man. In thla way
the people ot Roanoke were saved a
great -deal of money.
Bat matters are different thle year.
.The toe dealers took time by the fore?
lock and have fastened the most abso?
lute ioe monopoly on the city of Roa?
noke that was ever imposed upon a
people. "The Nottingham Coal and Ioe
Company" and "The Ioe, Coal and Cold
Storage Company," formed a combine*
Uon under the name of "The Consoli?
dated Ioe Company" and at onoe pro?
ceeded to raise the pr,oe of ice to the
consumer to cu cents per hundred
pounds, whioh is out of all reeaeon.
The price charged for Ice last year was
somewhat reasonable, but was still too
high, as evidenced by the fact that lee Is
now being furnished to the saloons and
to market men at 80 cents per hundred.
The combination profited by their
experience of last year and In order to
shut off the Salem concern, It is
alleged that they purohased the entire
output of the Salem faotory over and
above what Is actually needed to sup?
ply the trade of Salem. This was not
done with the expectation of the Con?
solidated Ioe Company ever getting any
Ice from Salem, as the Salem poople
cou'd easily arrange for their output to
be no more than enough for home con?
sumption. It is said that they paid
Ssoo for this output, which of course
was a low prloe for privilege of ad?
vancing the prloe on all Ice retailed In
the olty just even fifty per oent. The
monopoly at present prloee will be
worth thousands to the combination.
The people should not consider for a
moment that the money will oome out
of the pockets ot the combine. Reader,
just ask yourself the question, "Do
tbey pay 11 or do the people pay It?"
This Is not all, the service rendered
by the loe company 1b not at all satis?
factory, and It has been Impossible for
people residing In the principal resi?
dence portion of the olty to get loe for
three and tour consecutive days.
It was stated yesterday by a gentle?
man of unquestioned veracity that short
weights are generally given and the loe
company always gets the advantage of
the weight of the loe hooks In weighing.
Much complaint is being made regard?
ing the men who deliver the ioe, most
especially in the southern section of the
city. One wagon sold ice and refused to
dollvor it at a distance of 150 feet from
the wagon. Again, they will not de?
liver loe unlesB they are able to make
the correct, ohange?whioh shows the
unaccommodating spirit of the hide?
bound monopoly.
The monopoly discriminates against
the poor in the way of prices, as they
will sell Ice to families who are able to
purchase 82 worth of tickets at 50 cents
per hundred pounds in any quantities
wanted, thus giving the rioh or wealthy
an advantage of 40 cents In the purohase
of 400 pounds of Ice.
Truly the hand of monopoly Is a curse.

Proceedings of the Senate and
' House Yesterday.
. Allen's Resolution to Investigate
Alleged Election irregularities In Ala?
bama Defeated In the Senate by a
Decisive Vote?The Bill For the Bogta
tratlon of Trade-mark* Pasted by the
Bouse.
Washington, May 18.?The Senate
to-day by a vote of 6 yeas to 41 nays
defeated a motion by Mr. Allen (Pop..
Neb.) to prooeed with the consideration
of the resolution to Investigate alleged
election irregularities in Alabama,
occurring at the time Oove rnor Oates
was elected over Reuben F. Kolb (Pop.)
Four Republican Senators, Chandler,
Frye, Q all Inger and Morrlll, and two
Populists, Allen and Pfeffer, made up
the affirmative vote.
Jnfr; Allen took occasion to deolare
that the vote dlsolosed the insincerity
of Republican Senators to their profes?
sions in behalf of honest elections. Mr.
Sherman responded that it was not for
tbo present Senate to go in the general
Investigation of olaotions, aa these reso?
lutions proposed, and Mr. Chandler
(a. 11 ), author of the resolutions, ex?
plained that the adverse vote was due
largely to the disinclination to displaoe
appropriation bills.
,The resolution authorizing tbe em?
ployment of stenographers and clerical
staff for the Investigation of reoent bond
Issues of the finance oommlttee was re?
ported and agreed to.
Mr. Chandler secured the adoption of
a resolution calling on the Attorney*
General for a statement of tbe condi?
tion of the Government suits Instituted
in New York olty as to the Joint Rail?
road Traffic Association between Chicago
asd the Atlantic Seaboard.
The entire day of the Senate after 1
p. m. was given to the bill regulating
gas rates In tbe District of Columbia
and the bill fixing the prioe at SI per
thousand was passed.
Bouse Proceeding*.
It was expected that the House would
take up the consideration of the immi?
gration bills on the calendar to-day un?
der a special order, but owing to the
pressure of other matters the order was
not presented until just prior to adjourn?
ment. It was then amended so as to
give to-morrow and Wednesday until
4 o'clock for the consideration of these
bills. There are four of them.
The McCall bill provides an educa?
tional test; the Stone bill provides for
I consular inspection and tbe Mabany and
Corliss billa provide for more rigid en?
forcement of tbe present immigration
laws and oapeoially deal with immigra?
tion from Canada. Quite a number of
minor bills and conference reports were
adopted and three bills were passed un?
der suspension of the rules aa follows:
To allow tbe bottling of distilled
Bplrlts in bond; to expedite the delivery
of imported goods in parcels and pack?
ages not exoeeding 8500 in value, and
to provide for tbe restoration of trade?
marks on bottles, barrels, corks and
other receptaoles used in interstate and
foreign commerce
While a bill donating condemned
cannon was being considered Mr. Erd
man (Dem., Pa ) raised a laugh by mov?
ing an amendment requiring the Secre?
tary of War to see that the cannon
were spiked. "I do this," said he, "be?
cause the pensions committee to-day
favorably reported a bill to give a pen?
sion of 830 a month to a man who was
injured by the explosion of one of these
condemned cannon."
CASK OF GONZALES MENDOZA.
Why Spain Has Not Surrendered Him to
the United State*.
New York, May 18.?ConBul-General
Williams has telegraphed from Havana,
Cubs, that the authorities there refuse
to deliver for extradition to this coun?
try, Mariel Martin, alias Gonzales Men
doza, who is wanted here on tbe charge
of swindling August Belmont & Co. out
of 824,000 by means of a forged draft.
The ground upon which the Spanish
authorities refuse to give up the alleged
swindler is not stated in Mr. Williams'
dispatch.
A Washington dispatch says: It is
learned at the State Department that
the report of tbe refusal of the Span?
ish authorities to extradite Mendtza or
Martin, Is an error, arising out of the
fact that Consul-General Williams
wired that the man was under arrest,
not on the oharges made against him
by the United States, but for other
causes, the nature of whloh he did not
know. The State Department papers,
asking his extradition, have not yet
reached Havana.
The Proposed Carpenters' Strike.
Buffalo, N. Y., May 18 ?The pro?
posed strike of carpenters to day for the

quired to answer a question as to

the reply was in the affirmative they
were discharged on the spot. By noon
200 dismissed carpenters had reported
at union headquarters. A protracted
struggle between employers and jour?
neymen is anticipated.

TWO FIREMEN KILLED.
Twentyoue Building? Totally Dutroved
by Fire la Washington.
Washington, May 18.?A oonflagra?
?Ion, whioh resulted in the Ion of al?
most a quarter of a million dollars, and
in whioh two firemen were killed and
three seriously injured by falling walls,
oeourrea in this city about 8 o'clock to?
night.
Twenty-one buildings, with their con
tents, were totally destroyed la the
space of about two hours. The burned
district consists almost entirely of oora*
mission and wholesale jobbing houses
in the square bounded by B street,
Louisiana avenue, Ninth and Tenth
streets.
The fire started in a branch station of
the Postal Telegraph Company, located
on B street, and le suppose to have been
caused by lightning, a severe thnnder
storm having just before passed over the
olty.
The buildings were filled with a mass
ot inflammable material, whioh made it
difficult tor the firemen to oope with the
progress of the flames, whioh spread
with great rapidity. After two hours'
hard work the flames were under con?
trol.
The list of dead and Injured, all ot
whom are firemen,follows?dead: Giles,
engineer, company No. 9; Griffin, mem?
ber of truck company No. 3.
Injured: JoeMulhall. J. Mc ill woo and
Arthur Donaldson.
One man named Keplar was taken out
of the ruins alive after being entombed
for five hours. Two others are still in
the ruins and are undoubtedly dead. A
rough estimate plaoes the loss on the
buildings on Louisiana avenue at 875,
000 and on B street at 850,000,
Some of the individual losers are B.
J. Adams & Co., C. Taylor Wade, W. W.
Leshire, John A. Davis, W. S. Ander?
son, W. M. O'Shreve, H. C. Coleman, J.

Roth & Geoghegan, Compton, O. O.
Splcer and F. M. Walker. Their losses
are mostly In stock.
Much of the property is held by the
Van Ness and Semmes estates and it is
bollevod to be well insured. In addi?
tion to the above Sam Benslnger's horse
bszaar in the same block was destroyed,
involving an estimated loss of 835,000.
