Really there is a tacit if not a written agreement ou the part of the Rock Is land, Burlington and St Paul roads to tight the Union Pacific at every iiossi ble point. To understand the situation thor oughly it is necessary to go back to 185, when the famous tripartite agree ment was formed between the Union Pacific, Rock Island and St Paul. A cast-iron contract was at that time en tered into by the three roads whicli stipulated that each should help the other in every possible wa3 The agreement was for tweuty yours and could be terminated only ou a year's notice. Up to date no notice has beeu given by either of the lines interested. Soon alter the agreement was formed the Burlington learned of its existence aud commenced a vigorous warfare against, the fhree roads, and after a memorable struggle the I'niou Pacific capitulated and gianlcd the same terms to it which the Rock Island and St. J'anl enjoyed. The records show that neither of the three has turned over ns much traffic to the Union Pucitic as hits the Northwestern. .Although prominent officials of the Rock Island, Burlington and St Paul were perfectly free to-day in expressing their opinion of the new agreement, the nature of the case compelled all of them to refuse tho use of their names. The ears of Charles Francis. Adams must have buzzed, however, to-day, ns the nllicials of the three roads expressed their opinion of him to your representa tive iu the most vigorous kind of Eng lish. Not a shadow of doubt was expressed by any of them that they would lie en abled to break the agreement between the L'nion Pacilic and North western. "If the Burlington was big enough in 18H5 to break the tripartite agreement." i-aid Paul Morton, of the Burlington, "it strikes me that the Burlington, Bock Island and St. Paul are big enough iu 1S8!) to break the present agreement." All of the officials spoken to agree that the deal might be a great one for the Northwestern but a very bad one for the Union Pacilic. "Railroad wars make strange bedfel lows. The Santo Fe having been guar anteed a large shnre of the trans-Missouri through traffic," said R. R. Cable, of the Rock Island, "the deal in one, sense follows out a set policy of the Union Pacific, that of ignor ing Chicago ns much as possible. The deal the Union Pacific made with the Northern Pacific about rates from Duliilh and Omaha to common points was a body blow to Chicago. The rales to Diilnth and Chicago are the same from tho east. Then to nom raon points on the l'nion and Northern Pacilic, traffic via Chicago must stand the, local rate, between Chicago and Omaha over what the same traIio via Dnlut.li must stand. Under the provis ions of the interstate commerce act the effect of the lower rates via Duluth must extend to intermediate points, the consequence being the rapid up building of Duluth at the exense of Chicago. There is no question that the rates ought, to be less from Omaha than from Duluth. The present deal is but a continuation of the old policy, the Northwestern being the only Chicago linn having a Lake Superior outlet. It will be no cliango of policy ou the part of tho North western either, as it. is notoriously partial to Duluth on traffic originating on its FJMiorii, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha branches. I don't suppose the new deal can be broken without a struggle, but it will surely come when the pres ent rush of freight slackens. I do not know whether it will come to a rate war or not, but I know we will break up the deal if possible. II tkoia llfNiandi I'alr llalra. Chicago, Oct. 20. Senator Frank Tcl tigrew, of South Dakota, was in the cily yesterday. He is hero to have righted numerous alleged discrimina tions against the merchants of his state, and while holding out the olive branch of peace in one hand, says that the rail road laws of Iowa will boas peaches and cream in companion to those which will lie enacted by the legislature of South Dakota. Among other things the sena tor said: 'We want to establish a commercial center in the interior of our state and proK)so to have equitable rates to per mit it. We are now being discrimin ated against ou all hands. For in stance, the sugar rate and others are imiuo up by taking the rate from Sail Francisco to St Paul, adding lo it the locals back to Sioux Falls, and then to the interior point. Then the local rates from Aberdeen. Watertown and Sioux Falls to tributary poiuta are far higher per mile than tho rates ou the same goods from St.. J'anl. J his is a plain discrimination in favor of St Paul and against ns. The bellicose senator added that if the railroads did not do the right thing the legislature or ftoutli JJnkotn would. He left for Milwaukee to night to con fer with the officials of the St Paul roads. Cll.irjian Walker, of the Inter state Commerce railway association, re ferred the seuutor to the Trans-Missouri association. Tha Hawrtr tiancral llumaal. WAsniKOTor. Oct. 25. The annual re nort of tho supervising inspector of steam vessels shows that during the fifteen yeaisriftst the number of steam vessels in the United Stales has in creased from 3.885 in 1875 to 6.7315 in 1889, and the gain iu license of officers in the same ieriod is from 14,751 to 31, 623. During the jsist fear there were thirtr-two accidents L ilniini u.,L resulting in the loss of 801 lives, of which ninety-two were iiemengcte and 20!) employes.

He reuews his previous recommendations for a change in the manner of nppoinjiug lo cal ins?etors as now provided bylaw, and snvs if the matter is not soon reme died by proir legislation, public inter ests will sooner or later be seriously jeopardized. He would have the nom inations of iuector made by the sn jiervising inseclor alone, and the lat ter wonld then I solely iesionsible if unsuitable appointment were made.

Orsaiilxallou ( lite Washington, Oct 21 The senate will be reorganized just before time for it to convene in December. The only question about its result is as to whether the present sergeaut-at-orins and some other high officers will be superseded by new men. The introduction of eight new sena tors from the four new slates will muke the reorganization quite interesting and will bring about an utmost complete re arrangement of officeholders. .Many of the old uieu who have beeu holding in ferior positions will undoubtedly be asked to give way to new men, that the new senators may be given their share of the patronage, it is understood that the present scrgeaiit-at-anrfs is calcu lating to give to ench of the new repub lican senators one position worth 81,-00 to $l,",'0'l a year. This the new senatois will not consent to, as there are many of the old senators wboaregiveii patronage under the sergeant-at-arms and under tha secretary of the senate aggregat ing away up" in tho thousands, some of them having twice as much patronage as their own salaries aggregate. The demands of the new senators n ill un doubtedly cause a great deal of chagrin and very rightly will dispose of a num ber of barnacles who have been bobbing along on the old ship of state for a good many years. The general impression is that a new sergeant ot orms will bo elected, although Colonel Canaday, the present officer, has many friends, and a number of them will demand his reten tion. The mere fact that a senator has served long terms of years does not li cense him to demand the lion's share of patronage. All should be treated alike, they say. The new senators will demand that the fact that all of the old senatois have chairmanship" shall be considered in connec ion with the dis tribution of patronage. The difficulty that Sei gennt-A t-Arins Canaday will have on his hands will in a large degree be experienced by Sec retary MeCook. This officer seems to have divided the patroiiage-to suit his own personal wishes, and there are sen ators who have no representation under him. A Tala of Iba Philadklphia, Oct. 22. Seven sur vivors of the steamer Earnmoor, which foundered at sea when P.00 miles off Turk's Island, arrived yesterday. They tell a story of terrible suffering. The Farumoor struck a terrible gale on Sep tember 4. and on the following day the vessel foiiudered. As the steamer sank part of tho life boat floated off. The second officer, second anil third engineers, four sailors, three firemen and .the cook clung to, the boat and scrambled in. An effort was' made to save the rest of the crew, but the boat was blown away so that r.o more could be reached. The cries of the drowning men as they were dashed about by the mountainous waves could be heard by the men in tho boat I lie horrors of hunger on the sec ond day became awful," said Carl Crane, one of the survivors, to-day. "But we managed to pick up seaweed, which gave ns alittle nutriment. Ou the third day a flying fish was caught. This was immediately cut up into a irtiou for each man and devoured. We also cap tured a sen hat aint sucked its blood and theu nte the flesh after it had dried in the sun. The first inau to die was a seaman, and the second was the third engineer. One night a German fire man mimed Flagge, who was ou watch, suddenly became insane and jumped overboard. Klcven vessels passed us.

Allen, president of the fann ers' federation, called the convention to order aud made quite a long sM t cb. In the course of Ins address he said that Liverpool was the master of tho Ameri can wheat maiket ond under its rulings the business was becoming less and less profitable each jcar. lie counseled organization to control production mill regulate the output in the public mar kets ns the only solution of the difficul ties, lie ihclnred that It win nil mi restrained supply ond not a combine of buyers that was the cause of tho evil of low prices. With this ss a basis he dis cussed the present situation nt sonic length and then unfolded his thecry ns follows: "The remedy for nil this is found in the simplu business plan of tho Fnrmeis' federation of the Mississippi valley. A company of your own crea tion, with a centralized power and cou eentiuted business energy, and with Hs representative sliiicinre, c-m give relief with only "J per cent of the (mining pop ulation to bo included in tlte organiza tion. This company has a ginin and a live stock department, is officered and equipped for business liy concentra tion of consignments to this company, the farmers, of the Mississippi volley would effect a saving of ! hh,()(hi out of t lie $10,Hi,OO which they now au nually pay iu commissions. WHAT THE PLAN MAT I. Besides, the concentration of ship ments would place the company iu di rect communication with local shippers and buyers, who could be daily reached by telegraph and telephone, thus en abling the compnuy to order and cheek shipments at pleasure and prevent tin supply over reaching the demand, or hold everything off tho market if neces sary to force the payment of fair prices for farm products. In line, the plan pioposes a consolidated agency for the sale aud marketing of the produce of the Mississippi valley; and through this agency regulate shipments, control tho supply in the public markets, nud thus secure a general improvement 'in tlm prices -for 'product. Hut the question is asked: ' What will you do with the farmers who are In debt nud cannot hold their cro?" This proiosed sys tem does not require farmers to hold their crops, only to hold their surplus, which iu wheat amounts to the incon siderable sum of one-twelfth of the crop raised iu this country, but enough, when thrown upon the maiket, to nun the price of the whole crop. "The proposition sin, milled to this convention is to t the minimum piico that wheat shall 1e sold for on the Chi cago market, 'i bis would establish the price less the cost of trousortntiou at every other trade center in the Mis sisippi valley. Advise farmers not to sell for less and to eoruer this surplus Of P.VI.IHI'I.IIIMI bushels of wheat tu our granaries nud on our farms and to notify Mail, Lone that it will not be sent forward unless thine is a pi ice offered that will jusiify exportation. This would bring tip the piiee nf wheat in the home mat Let in all eiisiriiug countries, with reciprocal advantages to every industrial interest, and remove the shackles of slavery from the agri cultural classes of the woi ld." KX-OOVI'.ltNOK iiobinhon'h faith. Ex-Governor Charles llobinsou of Kansas was made temporary chairman. Ho began his address by comparing the apathy of the fanner to the active com bination of the business men iu trusts anil syndicates, which have not only ground down the farmers but set tlm price ou farm products. He declared that the farmer bail become n ."com mercial idiot or imbecile," and a prey to nil other industries, raising corn, beef, wheat ami other staples nt a los. He continued: "in the Lnitcd States agricultural rcMrls for 1871, George D. Pearcy gives the cost per sere, of raising corn in Indiana at HI2 :ut, O. Burravs iu Ohio ot l8.H!l, J, p. Thomas in Pennsylvania at 822. W, and Ji. M. Bogers iu New York at '22.50. an av erage of SHI. 10. The averagn number of bushels of corn iu the United Mates per aero is about twenty-six. This would make tho average cost in these four slates T:ij cents per bushel. 'Ihc cost iu the Mississippi volley is not les thou 812 per acre, including 'interest mid taxes, and this nt twenty six bushels ht aero would cost 40 cents per bushel, while the price is from 10 to a-" cents. The state board of agriculture of Illi nois is said to report that every crop of corn raised in Hint sttte since was produced at a loss and that the losses from 1SS1 to lSWi amount,.,! to iH.'.MW,. 047. Statistics in regard to wheat, beef aim ouier staples show no belter result. In a word, farming as a whole is done at a loss, and tho loss is converted into mortgages so long us laud to morlga-e remains. Iu the report of the bureau of statistics of labor for Ohio for the year 1888 the following is given us the amount of farm mortgages in the states named: Ohio Indians Illlnoi.
