" For several years the business men

just discrimination in the matter of
railway freight rates. For instan-e.

cents, while Peterson. Ia., situated
u.bout the same distance from Hioux
City, has a rate of 6.23 cents rer ton
per mile, first-class. In ordrr to secure
better rates the Business Men's club
of Norfolk has taken the matter up ac
tively. A petition signed by near!y
every business firm In the city promis

has been prepared, and if the railways
decline to readjust their rates, it will
be presented to the State Railway com

down on the ground with a 32-callber

life remaining in the lad until nearly

Omaha. Neb.. Nov. 22. -The holding
of another exposition at-Omaha Is the
question of the hour here. Public
sentiment Is considerably arviaea on
this subject. Chief among the objec
tions is the claim that another big
show here would effect the business
of the country merchants. The next
most potent objection is to "Let well
enough alone."
Could "buisness reasons be elimi
nated the chances are that about
everybody would be in favor of another
exposition. Of course it would be ex-
neoted that the exposition or is
would have to be an hundred per tent
better than was the great show of 1S93.
and no doubt this can and will be done
should the enterprise be -epated.
THE OPPOSITION.
At a meeting of the Traveling Men's
Trans-Mississippi club held Saturday
the following resolutions were passed:
Whereas, The exposition recently
held at Omaha closed in a blaze of
glory creditable alike to the manage-
ment, to Omaha and to all concerned.

it another year would be unwi.se there

of the wholesale, jobbing and manu
facturing trade of Omaha, but also to

extent that many will withhold their

By this action the traveling Pien
have at least squared themselves with
their country merchant customers.
At a mass meeting of the business
men held at the Council chamber
Saturday evening, the following resolu

"Resolved, That this meeting Is

the year 1S99. and hereby pledge our
selves to push the enterprise to the
best of our ability and use our best
efforts to promote its success."
This action, it is claimed, assures be
vond peradventure that the Trans-Mis.
slsippl exposition of 1898 is to be re
produced in all its glory in 1899.
Subscriptions for $22,900 were re
ported by the committee representing
the promoters of the new exposition
project, which, added to the $25,000
previously pledged, were further
swelled at this meeting by several
thousand dollars. Before the meet

KILLS A BEGGAR BOY.
Horrible Crime Charged Against e
Soldier.
Columbia. S. C. Nov. 22. A specia
to the State from Greenville, S. C.
says:
Weaver Smith, a little white boy
beerar. was murdered Thursday nl-jht
In the heart of the town and the muti
lated body was not found until twenty-
four hours later. A long gash in ihe
bov's stomach caused his death.
Weaver Smith was about 8 years old
and was a notorious beggar arounu
town, having a skillfully worded story
of distress. When last seen, about "
o'clock Wednesday night, he was going

secured some money and food there
and visited the Fourth New Jersey
camp.
Late yesterday afternoon a negrc
woman discovered tne noy laying
among weeds on Elford street, which
is a side street, one block north of the
confederate monument. The boy, was
lying on the south 6ldewalk, which Is
rarely used. When discovered he lay
on his face, and on being turned over
the cut in the stomach was revealed
The physician found evidence ol
another crime committed before death
and the boy was doubtless killed to
nrevent its discovery.
Two New Tork soldiers coming from
camp to town Thursday night heard
cries on Elford street, and approacn
ins-, found another soldier, un Known
to them, with a boy. who, Ihe solller
claimed, had lost his way. This man's
command Is unknown and the New
York soldiers left him standing near
the child. It Is believed the boy was
Weaver Smith and the soldier his mur-
iwr. The crime has aroused tne
greatest indignation among cltixi
and soldiers, and if the guilty man la
caught and proves to be a soldier h'.t
comrades will endeavor to make short
work of him.

ORGANIZED PROTEST AGAINST
IMPERIALISM.
Boston Meeting Adopts Strona-
Resolutlons and Asks For
Petitions.
Boston,' Mass., Nov. 22. The organ
izers of the movement against the
movement for the annexation of the
Philippines met in this city. A con
stitution was adopted, officers elected
and an address was issued to the peo
ple of the United States urging prompt
co-operation in getting signatures to
a protest against the annexation of the
Philippines.
Edward Atkinson presided. Before
the meeting he received a telegram
from Andrew Carnegie that he had
sent him a check for $1,000 for the use
of the movement. Funds have already
been subscribed liberally. The address
says in part:
"Whatever Islands we take must be
annexed or held in vassalage to the re-
public. Either course is dan,rerous to
the physical and moral safety of the
nation, inconsistent with our profes
sions and must result in foreign -om-plications

labor and administration questions at

"Impressed with the importance of
these views and recalling the declara
tion of the president that the war with
Spain could never degenerate into a
war of conquest, we have deferred ac
tion until it has become evident that
pressure was being brought upon the
president to convince him that the
public opinion demands the inclusion
of alien terrlthory and great masses

Will Not Release Them.
Manila. Philippine Islands (Special.)
General Otis, the commander of the
American forces, recently proposed to
Agulnaldo that he release the friars
ind civilians held In captivity through
jut the provinces. The Insurgent lead
er denied their mal-treatment and re
fused to release them, claiming that
the civilians had enlisted as volunteers
ind therefore were legitimate prisoners
of war. Agulnaldo also denied that wo
men and children were detained, but
said that some women and children had
roluntarily accompanied their husbands
or fathers into captivity.
As to the friars. Agulnaldo argues
that they are prohibited by the pope
from accepting political appointments,
and they are only permitted to follow
monastic life.
But, he adds, the Philippine clericals
"nave deliberately and systematically
deceived the pope, pretending that the
country was barbarous, unfit for the
regular ministry and that Is was nec
essary to detain the friars until the
pope Is undeceived.
The Spanish papers here assert that
a sanguinary mutiny has taken place

Two Railroad Associations
will
Effect Reorganization.
Chicago, 111. (Special.) Subject to
one Important proviso, the presidents
of the eastern lines have agreed that
the Central Freight and Passenger as
sociations shall be maintained. The
proviso is that every article in the pres
ent agreement of the two associations
which could possibly be construed a
clashing with the supreme court's de
cision in the Joint Traffic association
case should be omitted from the new
agreement. Both associations will re
tain their present titles and will adapt
themselves to their new conditions as
speedily as possible.
Thirty-six roads were represented at
the meeting, which was presided over
by Chairman Tucker of the Central
Freight association.
At the morning session a sub-committee
of five was appointed to examine
the drafts of the new agreements drawn
up by the freight and passenger agents
and this committee reported its ap
proval of the documents to the full
meeting In the afternoon.
The most important section of the
agreement dealing with the question of
rata, making provides that a line shall
file with the commissioner of the asso
ciation notice In writing of such change
at least three days before the new rate
becomes effective. Each road is to fix
and determine Its own rates and to file
i with the commlssoner all rate sheets
! for the eeneral Information of th
' members of the association. The com
' mlssloner will' act for each line under
I its instructions In seeing that rates,
; rules and regulations are properly pub-
I lished. and will co-operate with the
' compilers of individual rate sheets and
I will also, when requested, compile the
joint rate sheets.

Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, Sloan-like bestride a
galloping lion and catching up to oth?r
patriotic orators with the remark: "I
must hurry up with my lion; I am a
little late."
In fulfillment of this sentiment the
colonial secretary has made three
speeches, handling the whole field c(
(ireat Britain's foreign and domestic
policies In his customary ungloved und
breezy fashion, which has brought
upon his head a storm of angry retort
from continental politicians.
