MEMPHIS , June 12. Fr ends of Mlver
representing twenty states of the .south and
west began a two-days' convention In this
city today. Fifteen hundred delegates were
present , comprising democrats , republicans
and populists , but with "honest money" as
the iloian ot all , they filled the lower floor
and a large portion of the balcon cs at the
Auditorium when tha gathering was called
to order this morning. On the stage , besides
the officers of the Central Blmctull c league
of Mcmphlfl , tinder whose auspices the gain
crlng was held , were , with very tow cxcep
tlons , all the leading advocates of the free
colnago of stiver In the United States , They
Included Senators Bate and Harris of Ten- *
nessec , Jones and Berry ot Arkansas , George
and Waltham of Mississippi , Marlon Butler
of North Carolina , Tillman of South Carolina
lina , Turple of Indiana , Governor John G.
Evans of South Carolina , cx-Govcrnor Prince
of New Mexico , cx-Govcrnor Eagle of Ar
kansas , cx-Congressrnan William J. Bryan of
Nebraska , General A. J. Warner of Ohio , C.
8. Thomas and Alva Adams ot Colorado ,
Alexander Dclmar of California and congress
men and bankers from Tennessee and ad
joining states by the dozen.
The number of people In the Auditorium
today did not exceed that which greeted Sec
retary of the Treasury Carl sic upon his ap
pearance on May 23 , but the demonstration
was equally Imposing and enthusiastic as the
one witnessed on that occasion. A perma
nent organization was effected today , with
Senator Turple of Indiana as chairman , and
addresses were delivered by that gentle-mar
and Alexander Dulmar of California In the
afternoon , and by Congressman Slbley of
Pennsylvania , C. S. Thomas of Denver and
Anson Walcott.
Tomorrow will bo devoted to speeches by
some of the distinguished visitors , and the
submission of the report ot the committee on
resolutions , of which Senator Jones ot Ar
kansas Is chairman.
Politically the most significant Incident of
today's proceedings was the clear and em
phatic statement ot Senator Harris of Ten
iicssee , who. It has been very clearly demon
titrated. Is the controlling spirit in the man
ngement ot the convention , as to the object o
the gathering and the single subject to
which It Is expected to confine Its dcllbera
tlons. The strength of the men who arc fo :
silver first , last and all the time , and whose
purpose to advance the candidacy of Con
grcssman Slbley of Pennsylvania for the
presidency has been frequently manifested ,
Is formidable , and the result of the encounter
between these two opposing forces , the con
servative and the radical silver men , as It
will be shown In the declarations of the con
vention , Is watched with great Interest.
CASEY AT THE BAT.
The convention was called to order at 2
o'clock by W. N. Brown , president of the
Bimetallic league of Memphis. There was
no temporary organization , Senator Turple
of Indiana acting as permanent chairman
Colonel Casey Young of Memphis delivered
the address of welcome.
Colonel Casey Young extended the usual
greetings to the convention and saluted the
delegates as the advance guards of a mighty
army to overthrow a power more ruthless
and rapacious , and more hurtful to human
happiness and prosperity than any despot
that over shackled liberty and oppressed
mankind. Concluding ho said :
The forces of the grandest revolution that
ever burled a ilespot from power are gath
ered for an onset that will sweep every
\ enemy Into the dark ae.i of defeat. The
invincible ) legions which lead It will never
lialt or waver until their standaids are
planted upon tbo shores of every sea and
their banners lloat In triumph over the
people of every land. They will never lower
their Hags nor uhuntli thPlr swords until
the mighty conflict Is eiilea and a glorious
victory won Not until the temples of
Jlummon are turned Into sepulchers for
the burial of greed and avarice and , let
us hope , for the bake of suffering- human
ity , that the angel of resurrection will ever
unseal these tombs.
In tbo beginning of the struggle which
g.ivo separate nationality to the American
r colonies , our nncestois gave to the world
n declaration of Independence that rang
likeft bugle call tluough every land and
awoke the slumbering spirit of liberty
among every people. The descendants of
these heroes and patriots are about to
cml forth another declaration of Independ
ence to nil the nations of tbo world In
Jlxlnp their own financial system and leg-
iHlutlon for tbo good and happiness of
their own people.
Again , champions of a worthy cause ,
lemleis of a righteous revolution , I wel
come you to the queen city of our Inland
sea , and In the name of your country's
brethren bid you Godspeed In jour work.
GAVE HARRIS A WARM WELCOME.
Fully 1,500 delegates wcro present In the
Auditorium when , at 21S o'clock , President
W. R. Brown of the Central Bimetallic league
ot Memphis , called the convention to order
and Introduced Judge L. H. Estes of Mem
phis , who offered up a prayer. President
Brown then called for nominations for chair
man , and Isham O. Harris , the anto-bcllum
governor ot Tennessee , was given an en
thusiastic reception when ho arose to present
the name of Senator David Turplo ot Indi
ana. Mr. Harris said ho had no Idea ot mak
ing a speech ; that ho only wished to state
in a word the purpose and objects ot this
convention. U was called by the Central
Bimetallic league of Shelby county , 'a strict ! )
nonpartlsan organization , composed of demo ,
crats , republicans and populists. Its doon
were thrown open to every American citizen
who honestly believed In the propr.cty , the
advisability and the necessity of the rehabll
itatlon of silver. Their doctrine Is blmet
alllBin , and by bimetallism they meant th <
free and unlimited coinage of all the goli
and silver produced In the country.
"Wo are hero , " concluded the senator , "a :
a band ot free mon , to consider this all-ab
orbing question which now confronts thi
\ American people. Wo are here to consldei
the colnago question. That is the object o
this convention , as I understand , and as 1
is understood by the hundreds of delegate :
who nro here today. I beg now to presen
to you Hon. David Turplo ot Indiana , when
I place In nomination as your pres ding ofll
cer , than whom there Is no truer or able
blmotalllst In the United States ot America. '
( Applause. )
The distinguished senator from Indiana vva
\\armly received. While ho bars his 6
years lightly , his voice was rather weak to
the largo hall , and ho showed that the warn
weather made the task of dcllver.ng an ad
dress a difficult one.
After Senator Turple had been elected b :
Reclamation he assumed the chair , and ad
dressed the convention as follows :
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Con
ventlon : The coined money of the BOV
eminent In full meaning stands four squar
to all commercial transactions ot the pee
pie. It lias four functions or uses. It I
u medium of exchange ; It Is a measure o
valves ; It Is a means for reduction of It
iiaper proxies ; It Is a legal tender for th
imyment of nil debt. There are man ;
things besides coined money which hav
Home of those powers and uses It has all
Of these functions two are created by law-
those of legal tender and redemption ; thos
are artificial. The other two of cxchanK
nnd valuu measurement are natural. Ther
U no doubt that coined money existed , an
was used to effect exchange or commodltle
and to denote the values long before leglsla
lion concerning debt of redemption.
NATURAL FUNCTIONS OF COIN.
But. although the natural functions o
coined money are older much older tha ;
its artificial functions yet both thes
classed or functions are very ancient al
most coeval with the commerce of clvlllzu
tlon. The natural functions of such mone
wed In designating the prices and effectln
the transfer of commodities do not depon
wholly upon law. have never so depended
but depend also upon usage and agreemenl
They have no natural or necessary exist
encu. The artificial functions depcn
wholly upon law. When an article Is sol
and delivered and the price paid and re
celved , this Is a finality. It Is what w
call a cash deal. But when only a not
is given , whether It be a public or prlvnt
note , this Is not n flnallty , but creates th
need that gome measure shall be enactc
by public low prev " i ? for the payment c
the private notes f the redemption of th
public note In co I i J money of thq cour
try.
try.This need Is not a natural one. It I
altogether artificial , and It Is caused b t
that thing which is called credit. Credit-
that creature ot leRtslatlon-t-that produc
ot the statutes. CieUlt , tha promU * c
toJay , ( he canh of tomorrow , looking to the
power of Ihft government for the collection
and ctiforc < > mrnt ot Its obturation * , cannot
KnltiRay tha right ot the unnia power to
enact what sort and what quantity of
coined money ehall bn rmld and slnll bo
rec lved In ills-charge nnd liquidation of the
tamo. Btith Is the lojal lender quality ,
ami though It In highly artificial , .vet It U
ioubllu3 ono ot the most vnluablo func
tions of coined nicnoy
Ho who would deprive ono sort of coin of
this quality , and leave It only with the
ether , where two kinds had bcon utod be *
fore from tlmo Immemorial from the \ary
origin of the credit system Is guilty of
gloss Injustice. And that equivalent jiol-
iuy another way of doing the tame thing ,
which would permit only the making nnd
use of one rort of oolnrd monry. nnd which
would prevent the fr e and further making
and uuc of the other , where both had for
merly ben coined and used us money of
final liquidation , pnipctuatcs nnd m ilntalns
a system of bondage
Senator Turpte then entered upon an ex
haustive argument upon the cornmcrlc.it rela
tions of the two precious metals , claiming
that there had for ccntmlcs been a difference
between their commercial and bullion values.
The enactment of law nlono could give to
these values an artificial equality. ucord-
Ing to the test of the enemies of b mntal-
llsm , that the legal value of culned money
must be the same as the commercial or
bullion valun of the metal In It , nothing could
be more dishonest. According to that test
tliero Is not , and cannot be , an honest dollar
of cither silver or gold , nor any honest part
or fraction of the same
COMPLETED THE ORGANIZATION.
Senator Turple was accorded another
round of applause when he finished his
speech. The convention then completed Its
permanent organization by the election by
acclamation of F. B Wade of Tennessee ,
reading clerk of the house of representatives ,
to act as secretary. Mr Wade was nomi
nated by Governor Lowrle of Mississippi.
Senator Jones of Arkansas moved the ap
pointment of a committee on resolutions , to
be composed of one delegate from each state
represented. The motion carried , after It
had been amended at the suggestion of Judge
John W. Tomllnson of Birmingham. Ala , seas
as to provide that upon roll call each stat"
delegation should present the name ot a
member of Us delegation to act as vice
president of the convention and one member
to represent It on the committee on resolu
tion. The following vice presidents were
named : State Treasurer Craig Smith of Ala
bama , Senator J. II. Berry of Arkansas ,
Alexander Delmar of California , J II. Bush
of New Mexico. B. F Weaver of Virginia ,
A. P Blackwell of Texas. William B Bate
of Tennessee , Governor John O. Evans of
North Carolina , Congressman Joseph C. Slb
ley of Pennsylvania , 13. 13 Brown of Ne

Missouri , Paul A Dews of Montana , W G
Yerger of Mississippi , M J. Cunningham of
Louisiana. J. R. Reynolds of Kentucky , An-

of Tennessee , B R. Tillman of South Caroline
line , Joseph C. Slbley of Pennsylvania , Wil
liam J. Bryan of Nebraska , A. J. Warner of
Ohio.
Upon the motion of a Mississippi delegate ,
Senator Harris was nominated as the "old
whe2l-horse of free coinage , " to be a. mem
ber of the committee on resolutions for the
United States at large and was elected with
great enthusiasm.
POPULISTS GIVEN REPRESENTATION
Judge J. H. McDowell of Tennessee arose
to ask recognition for the populists upon the
committee on resolutions. The judge In
appearance bears some resemblance to Sen
ator Peffer of Kansas and the most striking
characteristic of his style of oratory are his
gesticulations. He carried his point without
difficulty and It was agreed that he be em
powered to present the names of delegates
who were added to the committee on resolu
tions as representatives of the people's party
Ex-Governor L. Bradford Prince of New
Mexico , In explanation ot the fact that a
number of western and northwestern states
had failed to respond to the roll call , said
that but a few weeks ago the representa
tives of every one of those states had at
tended a silver convention at Salt Like City ,
at which a committee had been appointed to
represent them collectively at the Memphis
meeting The absence of delegates from the
Individual states should not be construed to
Indicate any lack of Interest In the free
silver movement , or of sympathy with the
Memphis convention. The south and the
west were hand and hand In this campaign
and must stand together.
The next speaker Introduced was Alexan
der Delmar , the well known writer on the
coinage question and a member of the silver
convention of 1870. Mr. Delmar said.
STABILITY THE REAL BASIS.
Hon. Alex Delmar , formerly director of the
Bureau of Statistics , one of the commissioners
to the monetary conference of 1876 and author
of "A History of Monetary Systems In Vari
ous States of the World , " next addressed the
audience. He said In part :
Mr. Chairman Amidst the conflict of
monetary theories , doctrines and assump
tions which divide American people , nay ,
the entire civilized world , 1 can discern but
a slnglo principle upon , which all parties
unite , iincl that Is stability Those who
hold that the measure of value
should bo of dimensions prescribed
by law ; those who would leave such dimen
sions to the chances of mining discovery ,
the vicissitudes of war , or the caprices of
fashion ; those who are willing to trust
the government with the regulation ot
money ; these who have no faith In the
virtue and prudence of congress and de
mand a metallic pledge behind each frac
tion of the monetary measure ; those who
regard the whole number of dollars as the
measure of value ; these who regard the
material of each separate dollar as the true
measure of value ; those who regard money
as a legal Institution , us well as those who
view It only as so much metal , all these
allko agree In the cardinal principles that
a monetary Bjstem , If It Is to bo Just and
equitable In Its operation , should be stable
It should afford a reasonable assurance tc
the buyer , the seller , the doctor , the credi
tor , the producer , the consumer , the an
nuitant , the pensioner nnd the wage-camel
that It will work no essential , no violent , nc
revolutionary rise or rail of prices , HO that
men may buy and sell , contract , undertake
and plan for the future upon a more or less
assured and enduring basis. This principle
so manifestly Just , has obtained the assenl
of not only extreme partisans , but of at
sides of the present heated controversy.
It Is because I am profoundly convinced
that no Institution can enjoy a permanent
footing In this country unless It Is foundec
; upon principles of equity ; It Is because 1
believe that any > stem of money whlcl h
does not point to substantial stability o !
prices Is destined to speedy overthrow thai
I stand hero today to support so far as ms
feeble abilities permit the demand for th <
restoration of the ancient coinage laws o ;
the republic
At no time In the history of the work
have such enormoui , such Inequitable , suet
widespread , I may almost say , uch cosmli
disturbances of prices , such unforeseeabh
and undeserved changes of ojiportunlty urn
fortune occurred as have taken place slnci
the evil day now some thirty years ago-
when the coinage of silver Degan to t > <
checked throughout the civilized world.
The fact which nobody has questloned-
that more than halt of the combined clrcu
latlon of all the states ot the Occident con
ststs of legal tender paper notes ; the fact
which all admit , that over 93 per cent of al
the exchanges of the world are transacted
not with money , whether of metal or pa
per , but with mere orders for money , sucl :
as checks anil bills of exchange these facts
together with others , prove that metallli
coin , though made of both silver and o
gold. Is quite Inadequate to justify th
parity of exchange , so that the coin hate
to bo eked out , not only with paper money
but also , and still more largely , with or
ders and promises of money , which , belm >
limited In circulation to one or two persons
of and slow of movement at that , have to b
continually drawn , destroyed and redrawn
In short , the growth of commerce durlni >
this century of steam and electricity ha
been so enormous that the equity of ex
change has come to rest chiefly upon pape
money , the latter affecting to bo exchange
B able or promising to be exchanged on de
idd. mand for coirs of gold or silver. Defectlv
d. and dangerous as such syutems hav
it. . proved , no satisfactory tmbstltute for then
it.id haa been found , and like many other In
id stltutes Inherited from the past we hav
Id been content to patch them up and mak
eto them last as long as possible
tote What now shall be thought of the ma
to or men who thirty years ago deliberate !
te destroyed one-half of the scant supper
lin upon which the stupendous superstructur
cd of the world's commerce contracts and ex
of nectattons depends ? And what now sha !
tie be done to further patch that totterln
n- system which , like Dr. Holmes' one-hors
chaise , threatens to fall In pieces alto
Is eetherT
y Concerning this last suRcestlon you nee.
no culdauce from an historian of money
'ot your minds are already ma.de up ; your ver
of diet Is determined ; the law must be restored
Concerning1 the history of the demonetiza
tion I rim hero to unfold It to you , because
In It Is contained the reputation ot those
false and traitorous cries of "Interested
motives. " "Dishonest money , " nnd the llko
with which the friends of restoration have
been nnsnllcd.
Mr. Delmar then reviewed at length the
history of the world's demonetization of
Bllver , his arguments going Into mlnuto de
tails. Ho characterized silver demonetiza
tion as the result of a conspiracy on the
part of the moneyed Interests of the world.
The address ot Mr. Delmar held the close
attention ot the great crowd during the time
of Its delivery and was frequently Inter ,
rupted by applause. It was by this time
nearly 4-30 , but the crowd was hungry for
more speeches and they called the names of
their favorites persistently After several
attempts to secure an adjournment , consider-
abl disorder prevailed. The chairman finally
di-clared the body adjourned until evening ,
without further formality.
CALLS CLEVELAND A TRAITOR.
At the evening session , which began
promptly at S o'clock , Senator William M
Stewart of Nevada presided and Introduced
Congressman Joseph C. Slbley of Pennsyl
vania. Mr Slbley was greeted with thun
derous applause and In a two-hours' speech
aroused his audience to a high pitch of en
thusiasm. He made an earnest appeal for
Independent political action In IS'JG and oc
cupied a good deal of time Illustrating the
necessity of breaking away from the old
parties. His auditors were evidently with
him , for every attack on Secretary Carlisle ,
the president or Senator Sherman was
greeted with a noisy demonstration and
( very time he asked If they would remain
with their old parties and continue the domi
nation of the English money power , he was
greeted with ft chorus of "noes. " He paid
his respects to the president and Secretary
Carlisle In very plain language , calling them
"traitors" for their part In the conspiracy
to demonetize silver and fasten upon the
country the hardships ot tli ? gold standard
All such outbursts were greeted with tumul
tuous applause. Mr. Slbley paid an elo
quent tribute to Andrew Jackson , the great
Tennessee , who achieved fame through his
succes'ful antagonism of the money power ,
as well as by his military career Ho re
lated the story of Jackson's refusal , when
captured by the British as a boy , to black
the boots of an English officer who struck
him with a sword , leaving a scnr that he
bore until death He gave It a political turn
by exclaiming that there were democrats In
Tennessee who black those boots today and
lick the hand that struck them.
"Wo must win this fight In 1890 , " con
tinued he , "or we lose It beyond the life
time of my generation or the one that fol
lows It. You cannot put this fight off beyond
1S9G and win It If the monomctalllsts win
then comes the retirement of greenbacks ,
the forging of 500,000,000 fetters on our
Industries , There are other great questions
to bo considered , but they are Insignificant
as compared with this one If we lose this
fight In 1S9G two great conditions are to be
feared repudiation or revolution. One or
the other Is sure to come "
Mr. Slbley expounded the political axioms
ems , which , ho said , contained the result
of his study of the money question. They
were First , double the volume of the money
and you double prices ; second , divide the
volume of money and jou divide prices ;
third , double the volume of money and you
divide the debts , fourth , divide the volume
of money and you double the debts.
At the conclusion ot Mr. Slbley's speech
there were persistent calls for Mr Bryan
of Nebraska , but that gentleman evidently
desired a more favorable opportunity and
more time In which to deliver his views
upon the silver question , for he declined to
re pond. Then , upon Invitation of the con
vention , Mr. Charles Thomas of Denver oc
cupied the remainder of the time of the
evening session. At the conclusion of Mr
Thomas' speech the convention adjourned
until tomorrow.

country should bo of full legal tcnier , isrmed
directly to the people on ample security In
such quantities as the people may demand ,

this end the government should establish real
national banks as It dees pjstofficns , wherever

Ilccelver Frank Trlimbull ot the Union Pa
cific , Den\cr & Cult has appended his sig
nature to another agreement \\lth the Union
Pacific , the pressure on the part ot the
"Overland" being too strong tor him to resist.
Late yesterday afternoon It looked as It the
Union Pacific would have to put Into opera
tion Us old order abandoning the Julcsburg
branch , but Mr. Trumbull showed a measure
ot contrition o\er the part ho had played In
forming a traffic agreement with the Ilur-
lltiRton and Hlo Grande , and Managing He-
celver Clark being a very patient man finally
agreed to a return to the old agreement made
last August and which was published In The
Uee , giving the Union Pacific , Denver &
Cult a mlli ; and a quarter constructive mile
age for every mile used by the Union Pa
cific between Julesburg and Denver , and also
providing close tralllc arrangements between
the two companies.
KIKST CON'I-nilUNCn CAME TO NAUGHT.
When the Union Pacific had positive evi
dence , some time ago , that an agreement had
been made between the Gulf and the Hur-
llngton for an Interchange of business at Ster
ling , Cole , It was decided to abandon the
Julesburg branch then and there , but Mr
Trumbull asked for a conference , and , as might
bo expected from President Clark , for the
managing receiver of the Union Pacific does
nothing hastily. It was granted Absolutely
nothing came from the intenlew. Mr Trum
bull was Inclined to resent any criticism at
taching to the management of the Gulf sys
tem since he succeeded to the receivership of
he property And so matters drew their
eary length along until the Union Pacific
ople saw the necessity of defending \\hat
icy clearly believed their rights In the old
greement Then Hecelver E Hllery Andor-
on of the Union Pacific took a hand and
ad a conference with Mr Trumbull , with
ID result that certain concessions were
iade by the receiver of the Union Pacific ,
enver & Gulf , but nothing definite was
greed to that might bind dither railroad In
erest , so far as can be learned.
Mr. Trumbull , however , began to realize
liat It was one thing to make an agree-
icnt with the Hurllngton and entirely an
ther to maintain friendly relations with the
"nlon Pacific , and the cncioachmcnt of the
tirllngton into the territory of the Gulf evi-
ently went far toward a renewal of old rc-

SALT LAKE. Utah , June 12. ( Special Tel
egram ) Interest in the Short Line receiver-
hip continues strong in this city and spccu-
atlon as to the course to bo taken by the
\merlcan Loan and Trust company Is active
The local attornCys "fnr ' the trust company
tate that nothing 'definite legardlng the
ilans of the company will be known until
Moorfleld Storey , who is now on his way
ast. reaches Boston The company will no
doubt act quickly , as It must do so to ta'ke
advantage of the order of Judges Gilbert and
ianborn before July 1
But while there Is uncertainty In the public
nlnd as to the steps to be taken by the
ruit company with reference to the Utah
Ines , there Is reliable Information that Jus-
Ifles the expectation that a way will be
'ound out of the present tangle that will be
satisfactory to the people , the court and the
.rust company
Judge Merrltt , It Is authoritatively stated ,
ms no deslro to defeat the project for the
separate operation of the Short Line , and It
3 not believed that ho will Insist upon the
ippolntment ot Mr. Bancroft to the point of
irevcnting such Independent operation. If
the buslnesb men of this city strongly urge ,
as has been proposed , the appointment of
some other man who Is competent and satis-
'actory to the court , the change Is very
likely to be made.
There Is , however , another phase of the
situation that may result In the modification
of the order , so as to make Mr. Egan sole
receiver. Judge Merrltt has felt , In dealing
with this matter , that the appointment of a
local man to act with Mr. Egan was neces
sary for the protection of local Interests
But If Judges Gilbert and Sanborn refuse to
confirm the appointment ot the additional re
ceiver , It Is Improbable that Judge Merrltt
will stand out against their judgment.
Hather than see the whole effort to place
the Short Line In an Independent position
fail , it Is thought that the Judge would con
sent to the placing of Mr. Egan In complete
control.
EGAN NOT INCLINED TO ACT.

"No The representatives of the cotnpanj

Texas rates from Omaha are In a badly de

corral the packing house business before th
demoralization U stopped , which looks nov
as though It would be about June 24. Th

some cases a 60 per cent reduction has ben
made on this rate and some of the roads hav
followed one another to secure the uualneas ,

All of the demoralization existing Is charit

For a long time past the Union Pacific has
desired to equalize the Utah and Montana
rates , westbound , but the contention over
the Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern prop-
crtles lias been an Impediment In the way of
carrying out what has been the clearly ex
pressed desire of the operating department
of the "Overland" system. Now that re
ceivers have been appointed for the lines In
Utah , although neither Mr. Egan or Mr.
Bancroft have qualified , the Union Pacific
Tuesday decided to revolutionize the Utnh
situation and to this end tariffs were at
once prepared , effective June 15 , W. H.
Bancroft , general superintendent ot the
mountain lines ot thu Union Pacific , having
urged this action for some tlmo past. Tuesday
night the. Information was given out In Salt
Lake that the rates to Utah common points
and Montana common points would be made
the same , which caused universal acclaims
to be heard throughout the city of the
Mormons over the action of the Union
Pacific In doing that which should have bcon
done long ago
In many Instances , on all class goods and
many commodities , the Montana rates have
b""ii lower than Utah
rates from the MIs-
' 11 river and a universal kick has been
registered against this discrimination.
Recognizing , however , that the Short Line
would go eventually , the Union Pacific people
determined upon a bold play on the rallrond
checker board and decided to give Salt Lake
and Ogden a taste of equality before the
Short Line passes Into alien hands , with
the result that a wholesale reduction on
westbound rates Is ordered , effective next
Saturday.
The Idea Is to reduce the rates from the
Missouri river to Utah common points on the
ten clasps and upon westbound commodities
to the rates In effect from the Missouri river
to Montana common points , with the present
rates from the Missouri river to Utah as a
maximum. There Is , however , no Intention
to advance any rates at present lower to
Utah than to Montana. The ten classes
from the Missouri river to Utah are
12 M J2.15 Jl 75 Jl 43 Jl 25 it 10 .32 .8 ! .72 62
while the rates from the Missouri river to
Montana common points are
$1 S3 1 7l > II CO Jl 40 1 20 Jl7o 00 80 70 TcO
The equalization of the Utah and Montana
rates meins much for Salt Lake and Ogden ,
but will play havoc with tli < > tariffs at present
In existence on the Union Pacflc. at least
half a do/.en tariffs having to be lined down
to meet the changed conditions which will
obtain from next Saturday.
But , not content with a 74 per cent re
duction on first class stuff , the Union Pacific
management announces as a clincher a won
derfully increased fast freight schedule , the
run from Omaha to Salt Lake to be made
In fifty-six hours , giving to Salt Lake and
Ogden early morning freight delivery , a
thing unheard of In the past. This , with
the equalization on classes and commodities
will put Salt Lake and Ogden on a parity
with Montana common points and means the
biggest kind of revolution In the Utah towns
It brings them In closer touch with the
east by neirly fifteen hours , and shows what
a railroad can do when it starts out to make
a new reputation.
Freight Traflic Manager J. A. Munroe.
talking of the new regime , said that the
Union Pacific desired to make this rate some
tlmo ago , but the operating department felt
that It would bo unwise to do it , so long as
the Short Line controversy continued Now
that receivers had been appointed for that
property. It was thought best to eqmlbe the
Utah and Montana rates and give Ogden and
Salt Lake better and faster freight service.
"We are not members ot any freight nsso
elation In the transmissaur ! country , and
therefore did not deem it necessary to advise
our competitors ot the action to be taken
It will enjo n upon us considerable work In
revising existing tariff but wo believe the
end will Justify what we have done. "
As an Instance of what the drop amounts
to , taking a 40,000 pound car of glucose
there will be a saving of SilSO. Larger re
ductions are noted In powder , plate glass ,
hardware , rubber goods , sjrups , drugs , etc
Confirmation of the wholesale cut In freight
rates west from the Missouri river to Utah
common points on the pait of the Union
Pacific was received yesterday afternoon by
the Burlington and at once the freight de
partment of the I ) & M. determined to meet
the reduction on their line. A telegram , how
ever , from the Rio Grande Western , received
late In the afternoon , was of such a character
as warranted a conference and It would not
bs surprising to see the Union Pacific re
duction decidedly lowered before Saturday on
the part of the Burlington and Rio Grande
"The Union Pacific people are In desperate
straits , " said a Burlington official yester
day , "and they must needs do something to
sustain themselves In Utah , where the senti
ment is crystallizing against the Union Paci
fic. This Is the final spasm before , the Short
Line passes out of the control of the Union
Pacific and the receivers , recognizing their
dilemma , have decided on this coup , but
It may turn out a sorry piece of business be
fore bed rock Is touched. "
Orders have been given at Burlington head
quarters to meet the Union Pacific rates , but
It Is thought no attempt will be made at tariff
making for permanent use until the Rio
Grande Western Is heard from.

CHICAGO , June 12. The western roads
made no progress whatever today toward per
fecting their organization and the meeting
adjourned until tomorrow under circum
stances which do not premise an early agree
ment. The committee which was to draw-
up an agreement did not report and It was
suggested that the lines go ahead and form
an association to cover the territory east of
jj the river and Ignore that to the west. This
plan was upset by Passenger Trafllc Manager
White of the Atchlson , who shotted that It
was the meaning of the executive officers
when they called the meeting that the terri
tory between Chicago and Utah should be
under two associations. So many lines are
standing out , Mr White declared , that It was
Impossible just at this time to form an as
sociation west of the Missouri river and he
thought It best to report the circumstances
back to the executive officers and allow them
to struggle with the reluctant lines or take
such other action as they saw fit. Till a
stopped the talk about forming one associa
tion east of the river and allowing the lines
west ot the river to do as they liked.
Then General Passenger Agent Sebastian
of the Rock Island announced that under
present circumstance : It would be difficult
to form any agreement and Impossible tc
maintain rates. "A resolution was offered
In this meeting yesterday by the Burlington
road , " said Mr Sebastian , "providing for the
maintenance of rates by all western lines ,
Now , yesterday , June 11 , was wt as a day
for the sale of the harvest excursion tickets
to the west. I have here the return portion
of a harvest excursion ticket which was on
sale by scalpers In Kansas City before the
tickets had any right to be sold In Chicago
Under such circumstances the talk of main
taining rates Is eomewhat humorous. "
Then Mr. Sebastian showed the return
portion of a harvest excursion ticket Issued
by one of the leading western lines Mr
Payne ot the Missouri Pacific ) made a speech
of similar Import and displayed similar portions
ot tickets of the Issue ot another line. Both
the accused lines denied stoutly that they had
been guilty of Irregular practices and while
they were , telling how It happened the meetIng -
Ing adjourned
The coinmHt.ee on agreement was enlarged
and will report tomorrow morning There li
a prospect of a lively time over Texas pai-
senger rates. The Missouri , Kansas & Texai
has announced that on July G It will sell
twenty-day harvest excursion tickets from St.
Louts to Texai points at , one fare for th <
round trip. Tbo Rock Island announced to.
d y that It this was done It would cut ths
excursion rates ot the Missouri. Kartm &
Texai cquitrcly In half. Other line * Inter-

Although Union Pacific officials fire main
taining the- closest possible silence over the
conference no.v rolng on In this city between
the Gulf receiver , Frank Trumbull , General
Superintendent Uuniw.iy and Receiver 8. H.
II. Clark , General Manager Dickinson and
J. A. Munroe of the Union Pacific , It has
leaked out that all In not June harmony
within the Inner circles ot the conference.
Mr. Trumbull Is on the anxious seat , and
Instead of being In a position where Its
opposition nn.omits to little , as alleged In
Denver of the Union Pacific , the ofllcials of
the "Ovrlanil" are showing Mr. Trumbull
that his flirting and coquetting with the
Burlington and Rio Grande Western Is
likely to gel him Into serious trouble through
the abandoning ot the Julesburg branch.
Mr. Trumbull woie a worried look when a
reporter for The Bee asked him how the
conference was progressing. "Oh , In n
manner entirely favorable. " said the receiver
of the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf.
"Will jou likely reach an agreement ? " was
asked.
"Most certainly ; we have no differences
with the Union Pacific management , " said
the rcprrsci.tatlve of John Evnns tmd Judge
Hallctt.
However , there nre differences , and verv
serious ones , and the prospect * of an agree
ment at 2 o'clock were decidedly shadowy.
Mr. Trumbull has formed tralllc agree
ments with the ilurllngton and Hlo Grande
Western , when , as a matter of fact his ap
pointment as receiver of the Gulf was urged
by ofllclals of the Union Pacific , who be
lieved ho would deal fairly with the Union
Pacific property
The order abandoning the Julesburg
branch bus been held In abeyance There Is
no telling how soon trains will cease running
to Denver over that line , and when they do.
"Mr Trumbull , " according to a railroad
man , "will see the III effects of consorting
with roads that have no other Interest than
personal benefit at the expense of others "
It Is given out as a fact that Mr Trum-
nitt Is at present between the devil and the
eep sea He does not want to lo o his
urllngton-HIo Grande Western connections ,
or dofs he want to lose the friendship of the
"nlon Pacific. Between the two propositions
o Is staying awake nights.
