Pacific directors, at a special meeting,
passed ' a resolution in which, after
i celling ipon the importance of main
taining rates, a special meeting of the
Western Traffio association ia requested
to be called. The Missouri Pacific of
ficials say, in view of the importance of
maintaining rates, speedy action should
be taken on the, charges .ma le against
the officials of the Burlington, Atchison
and Southern Pacific roads. Action on
these charges was deferred at the presi
dent's meeting last week until the April

Jay Gould, in an interview, said:
"Nothing will be done hastily The
Western Traffic association has accom
plished much good in having strength
ened the general confidence in stability
of rates, and the Missouri Pacific will do
nothing uncalled for or impair the asso
ciation s usefulness. Action, If any,
must be taken by the board of directors.

demned, I remember particnlirly how
earnest and forceful the Burlington's
representative was. I would like to see
the Burlington traffic manager brought
here in a case ot this kiud. His head
would come oft or I would resign," ,. ,
DEFEATED THE ROAD. "
Interstate Caaamllonar Decide That
Ballroad Cannot Enforce Car Bcrv i
lea Demurrage Charge.
Washington, Jan. 19. The interstate
commerce commission1, in an opinion by
Commissioner Veasey, announced its de
cision of the case .of William H. Mac
Leon vs. the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway company in , favor of the com
plainants. The points decided are briefly
as follows: Defendant's railroad con
nects at Janesville, Wis., with the Chi
rago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway.
Complainant is a' merchant , doing busi
ness at that point and having coal yards
on tlip line of the latter road, but re
ceiving shipments from points of ship
ments on the defendant road, and his
financial responsibility is not questioned
in this proceeding. Carriers operating
in that section ot the country are mem
bers of a car service association, which
has established a rule requiring the pay
ment of demurrage charges when cars
are retained ,By shippers more than forty
eight hours' after receiving notice that
such cars are in position to nnload, and
the rule ' is set forth by the carriers in
their bills or lading. -
Upon all the facts in the-case, held:
That the action of the defendant in re
fusing, after payment of freight and of
fer of customary switching charges, to
switch two carloads of coal to the con
necting line for delivery at the coal
yards ot the -complainant on such, lino
unless be promised in advance to tj
aay-demnrraas Charges that 'Wight be
made, regardless of whether they were
lust or lemtiiy enfurcible, was Unreason
able, notwithstanding complainant' had
previously refused to pay demurrage
charges on other cars switched to his
siting, which ho bad failed to fully nn
load within the time prescribed by the
rule, and defendant, by retaining tho
coal in' his possession and demanding
such promises from complainant as a
condition to proceed to the per
formance of ' its1 duty ' as a car,
rier subjected the complainant .to
unlawful prejudice and disadvantage;
that complainant is entitled to repara
tion for injuries sustained in conse
quence of such refusal and neglect of
defendant, but,' the proof as to the ex
tent of his damages being insufficient,
that the case be held open for the pres
ent without order, and that upon notice
of adjustment by the parties of the ques
tion or reparation, the petition be dis
missed.
The provisions of the 8th, 13th, 14th.
and 10th sections of the act to regulate
commerco are dbnstrued in the light of
recent decisions in federal courts, and
the commission further decides that
procedure for the enforcement of law
ful orders of the commission, founded
upon, controversies ., requiring , trial by
jury having been provided by tne
amendment of March a, irou, of the iota
section of the act to regulate commerce,
it is the duty of the commission to pass
upon the suggestion of reparation for
the past damages whenever a claim is
made therefor. -i-
Hill and Cleveland.
Bostos, Jan. 19. Already the Demo
crats are getting ready for the groat bat
tie for delegates to the national conven
tion. - ljt) to within a comparatively
ehort time it was believed that the con
vention to choose the delegate at largo
could be brought to instruct tho
delegates for Cleveland, but that
plan has - now - been - abandoned,
and delegates will be allowed to
go as they ploa.se.". The Cleveland men
acknowledge that the Hil . sentiment iu
growing all the time in , Massachusetts,
and that Hill as a candidate for the pres
idency is looked upon with very much
more favor than he was a year ago. The
Cleveland men are not inactive, and the
result will be a lively fight.

counties are given to James Kerr, who
is be'n? supported by nearly all of tho

Berlin, Jan. 19. Berlin society is dis
cussing a St. Petersburg scandal, to
which no one dares to' refer openly.
Most of the fifty or more principals are
Russians, but a few of them are aristo
cratic Germans, some of them the high
est officials.
The St. Petersburg police recently in
formed the czar that many men in his
councils and in Russian official life at
tended frequent nihilistio meetings at a
mansion in a fashionable street. These
gatherings were peculiar for the large
number of foreign diplomatists, espe
cially Germans, who went to them. The
visiters arrived between 0 and 11 p. m.
and tiraggled away at 3 or 4 o'clock in
the morning. The' police watched the
house four wnks before they received
orders to raid it. They were then sure
that, a tremendous nilultstic plot was
lintrhinir and a force of U00 pcuice was
cii11h1 out to make it certain that not a
single pnrticipHiit escaped.- The police
were supported oy iour companies oi
soldiers within call and were directed
by General Gresser and a small body of
detectives. The house in which the
meetings were held was surrounded last
Monday night by this little body at mid
night, when the usual number of vis
itors had been seen to enter. General
Gresser. who had carried the password,
eained admittance to the closed vesti
bule.- He was closely followed by his
detectives.
liroke Cp a Scene of Revelry.
The doorkeeper was thrown down and
gauged, the inner door was smashed
with an ax, and with drawn revolvers
the detectives and policemen, led by
General Gresser, burst through. They
were astounded to find themselves, in
stead of in the somber proceedings of a
revolutionary meeting, at the open en
trnnce of a brilliant ball room, filled
with music and flowers and gay with
national colors. Some forty men and
women in light, flowing Grecian cos
tumes were dancing. At small tables in
the corners half intoxicated couples
drank champagne, and in small, private
rooms at the back several more couples
were found dining and drinking freely.
To the mutual surprise and dismay of
General Gresser and his officers the fifty
or si sty persons participating in the
orgies were found to be men and woraen
in the highest St. Petersburg society.
Several of the women were known to be
received with tavor at court, and among
the men were Russian officers of high

To relieve the mutual embarrassment
temporarily, General Gresser took the
names and official titles of all the mm
and names and official titles of the bos-
ban Js of all the women, and then hustled
everybody out of the house. No pris
oner was taken to jail by the police.
All, however, received the next day
paternal admonitions or cuffs, according
to his greater or less enjoyment of im
perial favor, from the Cear Alexander.
How tho Participants Entered.
The fashionable house at which tb
orgies were held was found to be owned
by a Kussian jew, wno rented to tn
principals, as the debauchers were po
litely termed. Tho police had been de
ceived as to the nature of r the gather
ings there by the fact that
every attendant entered in mala
attire, for a rule of the society
was that, for the sakeof safety, the wom
en must come in coats and trousers.
Each carnival was devoted to the initiar
tion of the dress and customs of a partic
ular nation. On tbe night oi tne raia
everything was Grecian. k "
The Csar In a Base. ' -
General Gresser went to tbe czar with
his report in the expectation that his sov
ereign would be relieved ana pieasea ny
the explosion of the theory of a dyruk
mite plot. The czar, however, was in
rage when he heard details of the cor
ruption prevalent among the noblemen
in nis army. The result of his examina
tion of the names submitted by General
Gresser was that many Russian officers
and officials were, transferred to places
in the provinces, and that, two secretar
ies of legation .were, compelled to take)
long vacations. Two married women
who participated in. the Grecian night
have been excluded irom court, ana an
other left the city before she was asked
to go. . , - . . . .
Hercler Guilty.' ' '
Quebec, Jan. 19. Before the royal
commission investigating charges ot
malfeasance against ex-Premier Mercter.
it was proved that Mercier had stolen
35,000 in one deal and $34,000 in an
other, the proceeds of the latter goinfr
into the pocket of a confidential friend
and party organizer, Earnest Pecand.
The frauds were committed in the con
tract for furnishing stationery to th
Eublic departments, and the bank of -cials
swore to giving the money to
Mercier and his friend. There is no
longer any doubt of the ex-premier's
guilt and his arrest is looked ior daily.
