HELP CATTLEMEN
MR. RICHARD8 CONFIDENT OF A
LEASING BILL.
A COriFEREtXE WITH PRESIDENT
Senators Millard and Dietrich Present
ed the Delegation of Cattle Growers
to the President Mosby Likely to Be
Relieved of Duty in Nebraska.
WASHINGTON. Bartlett Richards,
representative of the Cattle Growers'
association of Nebraska, who has been
in Washington for the past ten days
looking after the interests of the cat
tlemen, so far as national legislation
is concerned, left for Coronado. Cal.,
Thursday. Before leaving for the
west Mr. Richards said:
'I am greatly encouraged in believ
ing we will secure some sort of legis
lation permitting the leasing of public
lands during the present session of
congress. I have outlined a bill, which
was submitted to the Nebraska delega
tion last night, and to a representative
of the government, and I have reason
to believe that the president and sec
retary of the interior will give the
measure their support. I anticipate
that there will be a united delegation
from Nebraska In its favor, and I am
confident that Chairman Lacey of the
public land committee of the house
will also will also lend his assistance.
The states contiguous to Nebraska are
interested in the scheme of making
the bill apply only to Nebraska, and
they watch with much interest the
manner of its working out. Of course,
I do not pretend to say that the
scheme as proposed is the best that
can be devised. I do say, however, it
is the fairest measure yet presented
and safeguards the interests of the
government and the cattlemen. The
bill In all probability will not be intro
duced until after the holiday recess,
but after that time you can look for
some tall hustling on the part of the
cattle growers of Nebraska to bring
about its passage."
Senators Dietrich and Millard pre
sented the delegation of cattle growers,
headed by Bartlett Richards, to the
president today. They went over the
bill which will probably be known as
the "community of interest" bill, with
the chief executive and it is inferred
that Mr. Richards' expression in re
gard to having the support of the ad
ministration grew out of the talk had
with Mr. RoosevelL Later the delega
tion called at the Interior department,
but failed to see Secretary Hitchcock.
They left a copy of the bill agreed
uion at last night's conference and
stated they would return to the city
early in January to press action on
the bill.
It was slated about the Interior de
partment that the various kicks made
against Colonel Mosby were bearing
fruit and that in all probability he
would be relieved of duty in Ne
braska and sent to Wyoming.
The president has let it be known
that he will permit no Improper or il
legal encroachment upon government
lands and the Interior department is
acting along that line.
W. G. Comstock of Ainsworth, Neb.,
and Daniel Hill of Gordon, who came
with Mr. Richards to Washington in
the interests of the leasing proposition,

NEW YORK. In the mausoleum on
Riverside Drive brief and simple ser
vices were conducted over the remains'
of Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant. In addition
to the members of the family there
were present among the 500 persons td
whom -in-vitations had been sent: Gov-;

vices were conducted by Bishop E. G.
Andrews of the Methodist Episcopal
church and the Right Rev. Alexander
Mackay E. Smith, bishop coadjutor of
Pennsylvania, and opened with the'
hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light." after
which the burial services of the Metho

Collision in Which Many Lives Are
Lost Results.
BRYON, Cal. Sixteen persons were,
killed and twenty-seven injured in the
collision last night between the south
bound Los Angeles "Owl" and the
Stockton flyer. The engine of the lo-,
cal plowed its way into the last'
coaches of the "Owl," which werei
filled with Fresno people. The pas-J
sengers were hurled to the fore part
of the coach and hemmed In by aj
mass of debris, their suffering andj
danger intensified a hundred fold byj
clouds of scalding steam that poured,
from the shattered boiler of the Stock-:
ton engine.
After the "Owl" left the Oaklandj
mole it was noted that there was aj
leak in the flue of the engine. Thisj
increased to such an extent that it)
was deemed advisable to taxe up a
freight engine for relief. The train
officials knew that the Stockton lo-'
cal was following half an hour behind
and sent a flagman down the track
to give warning. ;
It is said that the Stockton train
got the warning signal in time and
gave the usual response with whistle
blasts. Why the incoming train was
not checked, however, has not been
thus far explained, the men who could
tell being among the badly injured.

COMPETITION OF RAILWAYS
Combination of Interests Consolidates
Management in Individual Hands
The Result is Disastrous to Public
Welfare.
WASHINGTON. The tendency to
combine continues the most significant
feature of railway development, ac
cording to the annual report of the
Interstate Commerce commission,
just issued. The report says:
"It is not open to question that the
competition between railroad carriers,
which formerly prevailed, has been
lately suppressed or at least brought
to the condition of effective restraint.
"The progress of consolidation, in
one form or another, will at no dis
tant day confine this competition with
in narrow and unimportant limits, be
cause the control of most railroad
properties will be merged in a few in
dividuals, whose combination inter
ests impel them to act in concert.
"While this will insure, as prob
ably nothing else can, in equal de
gree, the observance of published
tariffs, and so measurably remove
some of the evils which the act was
designed to prevent, the resulting sit
uation involves consequences to the
public which claim the most serious
attention.
"A law which might have answered
the purpose when competition was re
lied upon to secure reasonable rates
is demonstrably inadequate when that
competition is displaced by the most
far-reaching and powerful combina
tion. "Some great change in the condi
tions calls for a corresponding change
in the regulation of the statute."
The commission reaffirms its rec
ommendtaions for amending the in
terstate commerce law and urges the
grave necessity for legislation.
The report says that the fact that
no convictions have yet been obtain
ed nor indictments found in the cases
of the roads which were shown by an
investigation last winter to be given
secret rates to grain shippers, em
phasizes the fact that the criminal
provisions of the present interstate
law are practically a dead letter.
The commission says that the effect
of injunctions to compel roads to ob
serve published tariffs has been to
materially advance the rates actually
received by the carrier and paid by
the shipper and that their operation
enables advances, which otherwise
might not be made.
But while the producer will un
doubtedly pay from now on from 5
to 7 cents per 100 pounds more to
transport grain from the field to its
destination than he paid before these
injunctions took effect, that must not
be regarded as an argument against
the injunctions. There ought to be
some power to compel the carriers
to maintain the published rate and
to publish a fair and reasonable rate.
DEWEY CABLES FLEET ORDERS.

The first toasts were "The Presi

followed others to "Caiada" and the
"United States."
Sir Frederick Borden in speaking
on "-Canada," said:
"I say in all franKneis that we up

CARACAS IS IMPREGNABLE.
Venezuela Could Put 400,000 Men
in
the Field.
PARIS. M. Thiesse, formerly min
ister of France to Venezuela, who ne
gotiated the convention of 1885 and
who has lived many years in Vene
zuela, has been interviewed concern
ing the situation there. He said:
"Venezuela can put 400,000 men in
the field, and even foreigners there
are liable for military service. The
regular Venezuela army numbers only
10,000. A number of the younger of
ficers received their education in the
military schools of France and Ger
many. The Venezuelans are armed
with Martini and Remington rifles
and have a few Maxim and Krupp
guns. They have no cavalry. Caracas
is almost impregnable, owing to the
fact that it is situated on the other
side of a mountain range about 6,000
feet high. These mountains range
are impassable except by steep mule
paths, where twenty men could stop
a whole regiment. There is a rail-
road from La Guayra to Caracas, but
the destruction of a single bridge
would render the line useless. If, by a
miracle, Caracas was taken, the Ven-
ezuelans would wage a guerilla war-
fare, as they did against Spain.

Koenlg's Hamburg Breast Tea, a cup
full every nigbt on going to bed, have
it hot, drink slowly, then every other
night rub the throat and top portion
of the lungs with St Jacobs OH, cover
with oil silk, lot it remain an hour,
then remove. Eat good, plain, nour
ishing food, live in the open air as
much as possible. By all means sleep
as near out of doom aa possible, that

very severe weather. Tako a cold
sponge bath every morning; then Im
mediately rub the body vigorously
with a coarco towel. Take Dr. August
Koenlg's Hamburg Drops every other
