CHICAGO, Aug, .2. Twp Important
meetings, ot traffic, managers were he.d here
today for the purpose, .of advsncjng" grain
rates.. One waa Jn retard to rates from
Chicago and lake points to the Atlantic
seaboard and the other regarding a res; or
ation of 4 rates from Kansas City to te
coast and the gulf. The latter rnie Ing
waa participated In by the traffic managers
of all lines weat ot .the MUslsrlppl river
apd the gulf roads. Rates on wheat from
Kansas City have been badly" dcrnoratltrd
.for some time and to meet the competition
tho Santa Fe during (he last two, weeks h-,s
found it necessary to make an open .rat
of 7 cents per 100 pounds from Kansas City
to Chicago. It became apparent that unless
rates were speedily rcstcred a general rati
war would result. .The gulf lines wete
blamed by the eastward lines for mak ng thj
trouble, as they had been making a rate of
13 cents from Kansas City to New Orltans
instead ot charging the tariff ot IStt cen's
Aftfcr an all day's squabble It was decided
to advance the rate on export whoat from
Kansas City to Gulf ports to 15 cents a 100.
7 cents to the Mississippi river and 10 cents
to Chicago, This Is practically a restora
tton of the old tariff rates.
At the conference eastbound rates which
was participated in by officials ot the Cbl
rago and St. Paul lines', the lake and rail
lines and the Centra Freight association
lines, the milling and shipping interests ot
the Twin Cities were given a hearing and
they took a position that the cut rates now
in effect are all that the traffic" can atanl
and that an advance In rates would result
In a serious disadvantage to their Interests.
Tho represeritathe of the lake lines wanted
an advance made at once, as the cut rates
made by the railroads were keeping business
away from tbtt lake and roll routes.
Finally a compromise wss effected and a
resolution adopted that all grain rates
should be advanced on October 21, to the
following figures; Chicago to New York tor
domestic use, 1H cents, a 100; for export
16 cents. The present rates are 15 cents,
both domestic and export,

Cincinnati came In. for third and fourth
prltes respectively.
Calltorna commandery No. 1 being the
only mounted command had no difficulty In
capturing the trophy for the best appear

testants were Columbia commandery No. 2
of Washington, and Allegheny No. 85 ct
Pittsburg.
The drill was the feature of the day. In
terest was Intensified by the fact that1 tt
was tbe first since 1S83 when Louisville
carried off ilrst honors. The content took
place on Thurhlll Downs, tho home of the
Loulaville Jockey club. Long before the ex
hibition began the regular grand stand was
filled and by 11 a. m. the steps leading to It
were crowdrd. A temporary stand built
across the track was Jammed full and
thousands of people were on the field. It
was a good-humored crowd, although tho
sun was hot enough to spoil fome disposi

breaks of the perspiring contestants alike.

a crack drill organisation and applauded
vigorously. The Denver men excelled n
the sword movemonts. In tho Inspection
there was never a perceptable movement ot
a muscle on the part of any member.
The commandery finished one minute uttor
the warning recall and four mlnutra within
the limit.
A perfect storm of applause followed tin
completion of the final movement. A num
ber of beautiful display movemrnts were
executed by the Denver company b f rj
leaving the field.
Detroit commandery No. 1, during the
noon stop for luncheon and rest, gave a
drill which was called the equal if not the
superior of any during the day.
The Wolverines, however, were, not en
tered In the contest, as a rule of tka
Knights in Michigan prohibits them from
drilling for prlxes.

tbe grand master's stand in the matter, but

hotly advocated on tho floor. The two re

has been a mooted one, as there always has

of this privilege to tho grand commander
who would thus be allowed to honor prom

riTTSBUBO, Ta., Aug. 25.-The Steel
corporation continued making gains In thli
district and today added enough men to l;s
force at tbe Star plant to Insure the wcrk
Ing of two mills double turn, night and day,
from now on, Tbe management claims that
the entire plant will be on full before tbe
week ends. The strikers say this claim
cannot be made good.
In pursuance ot Its announced plan to rua
all of Its plants absolutely nonunion, the
American Tlnplatc company today com
menced advertising for nonunion nun, All
applicants are offered the highest wages and
permanent jobs, but In every case the ap
plication must be made personally and the
applicant declare himself free from all union
control. The company has not as yet made
the attempt to start either Its Mononga
beta or Delmar plants, but ray both will
be started soon. When asked today what
he thought ot the Tlnplat'e company's
avoed Intention of breaking away from
the union entirely. President Bhaffer of the
Amalgamated association said;
Where will thet get men to run their
plants? If we thought the men could b!
secured the threat might trlghten us. Un
til we are' assured thst tbey are forthcom
ing we will keep our nerve."
Tho latest official declaration from stetl
rourcre Is that the strike can now be set
tled only by the men going back to the
mills. The position the officials take, It ts
raid, Is that the strike is over so far as
their dealing with the strikers as a body Is
concernod.
Another Arbitration !cheroc.
Notwithstanding the well-defined position
taken by the Steel corporation as to a set
tlement, another arbitration scheme was
launched this evening by Simon Burns,
president of the Window Glatfe Worker' as
soclatlon. Mr. Burns proposes cn arbltia-
tlon committee selected from among such
men as Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Potter,'
scth ixiw, m, a. Hanna and others or line
prominence, who, after having the tnt re
matter explained to them by both sides to
the controversy, shall have abrolutc author
ity to decide upon terms ot settlement,
thtlr -decision to be final - accepted by
both parties. Mr Burns bys he has Presi
dent Shaffer's sanction for the move and If
tho corporation will agree to tho plan, the
strike will be declared oft at one?. Nere
of the eteel people here will dlscuis the
matter In any way.
Mr. Shaffer declared tonight that the
strike, In spite of tho claims cf the other
side to the contrary, is proceeding sa 1?
tactorlly and that his association Is mak
ing great Inroads, on tbe corporation acd It
will be compelled sooner or later to cam? ts
terms. His men, he says, ore firm all a'onj
the line and are determined to stand tor
their rights to the end. He says the mills
that have been started are doing but little
work. Tbe fact that the corporation ii
adding to Its force dally docs not worry the
president, because he believes they are but
poor workmen, who are a drawback rather
than a help to their employers.

helpful to the woman's suffrage question.
In fact, it is more likely to help tbe op
posite camp. "
If there Is any faith to be put In statistics
of this sort, tbe discrepancy between now
and the reports of two decades ago appear
to indicate that the rush of women to in
dustrial fields is not favorable to the pre
dominance ot the sex numerically. Either
that, or else figures lie. Or can It be that
women run away when the census taker
comes around? This Is such an old and ex

Trouble Is Imminent on both the eastern

No secret Is made of the threatening at-

liberal governments of the neighboring r. -

There teems little doubt thst the charges
r both sides are well founded. The liberate
of one republic have lent a helping hand to
their struggling brethren In th'lr adjacent
territory and the conservatives have. retali
ated in kind.
Colombia has, however, been the chief
sufferer, as its revolution has already lai ed
nearly two years. It Is tsttrcatrd that fiom

Arms belonging to General Rlera, a Ven

roller Will Be Kan-Intervention
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. No official ad
vices have been received respecting the sit
uation in the insurrectionary parts ot
Colombia and Venezuela since tbe brief re
port ot the arrlysl at Colon ef the, gunboat
Machlas, but the officials are' not 'dlsturbedi
by this absence of report. ' '
It may be stated, in view of reports that
our government intends ito Intervene, -that
the government, will adhere strictly to its
wDll-esiabllsbed rule of non-intervention,
Nothing but an Interruption of Isthmian
traffic, which the United States is pledged
to keep open, or a threat directed against
American interests coald induce tho gov
ernment to Interfere.
Fortunately the asphalt controversy is
not now an active factor which 'would
promise to sharpen the Issue between the
United Btatcs government and Venezuela
and thus complicate the difficulties arising
out of the Insurrectionary disturbances.

CIVIL snilVICK FACTS.
nennrt Shown Prealilrnt Una .ot At-tal-kril
Clammed t,IM.
Indianapolis Journal,
The report of the Civil Service commis
sion presents some figures which will tend
to modify the opinion of those who have
been led to believe that President MeKinley
has broken down the classified service under
the civil service law. While In office all
presidents have bcrn charged with hostility
to what Is called civil service reform, or
the merit system. Mr. Cleveland, toward
the last of each term, when the positions
were largely filled with men of,, his own
party, covered them with tho provisions o(
the classified system. President McKlnley
modified to some extent tbe Cleveland or
der, Neverthclecs, It Is a fact that during
the year which ended Juno 30 a larger num
ber of pcrsohs were appointed to the classi
fied service than during any previous year
that the civil service iaw has been In force.
The number wns 9,889, out of a total of 31,
437 applicants who had successfully passed
the examinations thn total number ex
amined bring 46,763. During the past three
years, while tbe public has heard so much
of the breaking down of the competitive
r.ystetn by President MeKinley. I7.31C per
sons were appointed through the examina
tions made by the civil service law and
rules. The number of appointments under
he rules in three years under the present
administration is more than one-third nf
the jrhoje number appointed from the pas
sage' of tbe law, July 16, 1RS3, to June 30,
1900 a period of seventeen years. These
facts do not sustain thn charge that civil
service reform has been ignored by Presi
dent MeKinley.

New York Tribune.
Referring to the recent news that a train
had been "held up" In tbc Indian Terri
tory and Its passengers peacefully ropbed by
a singularly audacious set ot knaves, the
Tribune expressed surprise that a bold,
willing and compotcnt marksman never ap
peared In such an emergency to interrupt
tho proceedings of the looters. We said
that this circumstance was the more re
markablo Inasmuch as train robberlca
usually occurred in parts ot the country
distinguished for zealous and accurate work
with firearms, 'instead of the tamo and
timorous east, where non-rcslstance Is sup
posed to be cultivated a a virtue. We are
therefore pained to find ourselves in receipt
of a sarcastic letter, which, though legibly
written, Is so badly signed that we cannot
make out our correspondent's name, sug
gesting that we purchase a good gun with
a long barrel and a hair trigger, take it
out west, seize the first chance to get into
action and learn a valuable lesson.
Now, the first thing to be observed Is
that our sensitive and fretful friend missed
an opportunity wlvjch he would have been
almost Justified In taking. It happened that
a day or two after the western train rob
bery an Adirondack stage was held up by
a single highwayman, who promptly
despoiled four able-bodied men. In the
light of this performance a few grim
pleasantries on the porils of travel in the
state of New York would not have been
wholly Inappropriate, whereas an Invita
tion to go west and get shot Is both crude
and rude.
