At 3 o'clock , preceded by outriders , the imperial -

Though accustomed to striking pageaats and

After an artillery salute at tbo station the

Anthony issued an appeal to the people ot

Miss Hones was formerly vice president
of thu association from Dakota , " said Miss
Anthony "Sbo came into ono of our con
ventions once und as she was the only rep
resentative present from the then territory
of Dakota , wo made her a vice president
We found she was not the sort of a woman
wo wanted and tbat she was mak

soon dropocd her from our rolls Sbo
tblnks she hus cause'lor a porsonai quarrel
with mo aud never misses n chance to got

Bbo still considers herself a vice president ot

she is thought of in South Dakota 1 may say
that nt tbo recent state convention , although
she was present as a solf-appnintod dclcgute ,
she was not even appointed a vice urcsidant

ment : These bands of Indians occupy a

upon this subject made by tbo sec
retary of the interior aud tbo commis
sioner-of Indian affairs , dated December
13 , and 17 respectively , 1335. It appears that
the aggregate sum of t'J,402 has been paid

unpaid under tbo agreomout The bill pre
sented is prepared with care and amply pro
tects the interests of the Indians Tbo pres
ident especially calls the attention of the

needed by tbo Indians to purchase seed ,
grain ana other things necessary to secure a
crop tbo coming season These Indians nro
among tbo most advanced of tboso iu the

little benefit out ot the * postal telegraph

Kanbw Cirr , Mo , Feb 31. [ Special Telegram -
ogram to The Uee.J There Is war between
tbo Kansas City , Wyandotte & Northwestern
orn and the 13. & , M , The trouble has grown
out of the purchase by the Burlington of coal
Holds In lown The Burlington therefore
raised a tacit refusal to haul the Northwest
ems cars of coal Into Nebraska from Do.it-
rico As a result of nil this a wonderfully
largo amount of corrospoudenco has bussed
between General Ma'nnger Newman Erb of
the Northwestern , the coal companies und
the general officers of the B. &
PTho conl dcalors , who have bcon
supplying hundreds of tons of Leavouworth
coal to Nebraska consumers through the
Burlington connection at Beatrice , are com
plaining vigorously , Mr Erb tblnks the
action of the Burlington nn outrngoous and
unprecedented ono , whllo the Burlington
folks thcmsolvcs say " tbat no injustice is
meant and that it does not pay thorn to haul
tbo cars of other roads , and at tbo same time
they have no cars of thefr own system
Meanwhile the Leavenworth mines nro But
tering , Nebraska coal dealers are
fearful of losing big business uud
tbo Burlington is preparing to supply
Nebraskans with coal from Its mines In
the Hawkeye state and in north Nebraska
Mr lirb has prepared all of the correspond
ence in the case and will submit it to the
Nebraska railroad commission at Lincoln
next Monday , whllo the same complaint will
at once go before the intorstuto tommorca
commission The cause is a peculiar ono
and involves tbo right of a railroad to say
whothcr It shall discriminate on the question
of the character of business it receives from
another road whore the full tariff is paid
The following extract from an Interested
dealer is self-explanatory : "Wo now
have at Beatrice four cars of coa
from our Leavenworth mlnos destined to
points on your road , for which your full
local tariff rates from Beatrice wa3 iuiendod
to bo paid These cars wcro refused by your
line and wo are Informed bv the management -
mont of the Kansas City , Wyandotte &
Northwestern road today that your com
pany claims td bo short 1,003 cars and to bo
therefore unublo to furnish cars of your
own Under these circumstances you can
readily see that It is an Insult to our in
telligence to bo told that you cannot
talio the coal In foreign cars and that you
Jiave not refused to furnish cars for our conl
at Beatrice You may say that you can fur
nish cars'into which coal can bo transferred
at Beatrice for local points when offered , but
thu shipper of course Is required to transfer
the coal I do not know whether tnis ls In
tended ns Irony or sarcasm , inasmuch as
the transfer of coal from ono car to another
lu transit is impracticable The facts are
that wo propose In view ot tbo present rates
on coal made bv the Kansas City ,
Wyondotto & NorthwoBtean road
to deliver coal at Beatrice
from our mines nt Leavenworth
pay you full local tariff and yet deliver It to
the beople in Nebraska at better rates than
they can seiuro tbo cheapest coal that you
deliver Wo understand thut the ueople of
Nebraska nro interested in securing cheap
fuel and Biipnosed that you would do nil you
could consistently in cooperating with us In
furnishing cheaper fuel to the communities
served by your road Your efforts appear
to bo on the contrary directed to increasing
tbo price of fuel , regardless o f the fact that
do impairment of yo ur revenue is
expected , your full tarill rate being
paid I shall confer with tha management
of the Kansas City , Wyandotte & North
western road and see what can bo done to
aid in compollinir your comnanv to nerform
its full duty to the publlo and prevent a dis
crimination against tbo coal mines of this
Btute "
Mr Erb , speaking to The Bee correspon
dent tonight , said : The tendency of legis
lutionln recent years , both Btato and fodcral ,
bus beeu In the direction of a stricter super
vision of railroad corporations and to check
the powers which were supposed
In the early ; dovolopmant of other ,
railroad oystcms to reside with tboso
corporations Thoybablt of discriminations
against Individuals and localities , the pro
motion of purely selfish interests of rail
road officials at the expense of the gonerul
public naturally resulted In wnat railroad
companies now condemn as hostile legisla
tion It will be fouud that every such law
was lovitod oy some evil which the public
found itself compelled to correct or check ,
lho action of tbe Burlington road in refus
ing to receive from us conl , though full
tariff rates wcro tendered , is Just such con
duct as is llabto to , invite mora
strlngont and aggressive legislation ,
from which wo with other roads
uro bound to suffer Here is a road , directly
or through its ofllccrj or some of them , 1 am
Informed , interested iu coal mines in Iowa
Our road , recently ncomplcted to Hcutr 'o ? ,
finds itself able at n fair living tariff to
bundio coal from the mines in Kansas , which
uro nearer the points of consumption than
tboso in Iowa , so ns to deliver it at points In
Nebraska on the Burlington system ut less
than can bo dona from the Iowa mines and
vet allow that road the full legal tariff
rates from Beatrice to destination in other
words at the sum ot the local rates , lho
Burlington , despotically disregarding the
Interests of the nooplo of Nebraska in secur
ing it cheaper fuel und especially at a time
when it Is a most important nnd vital mat
