St. Louis, 3Io., March 2G. At an in formal conference of the executive of ficers, the traflic managers :uid general solicitors of tho St. Louis linos, the conditions which confront the rail roads in the Iitrht of the United States I tnnMnu rrt,T! 1nr.ittllYl tn tYin P9CH f9 the old Transmissonri association, wero discussed at length. Colonel Fordyce, president of the Cotton IJeli, was in the chair. As tho full text of the de cision has not yet been received the attorneys were not disposed to express an opinion as to its far-reaching ef fects, but shared the view taken by the legal departments of some of the Chicago lines that it would be well at once to suspend the operations of the various trade associations in the West and Southwest. Yesterday afternoon the Kansas City, Fort Scott fc ?Ieniphis, the Mis souri raciflc-Iron Mountain and the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad campanics followed the lead of the Santa Fc and llurlington S5&tetns and gave notice of withdrawal from all traffic associations, both freight and passenger, in the west and southwest. The decision is not supposed to affect the weighing and inspection bureaus, and they will be continued. 7o action has yet been tahen as to the car serv ice associations. Chicago, March .". A mass meeting of Western, Transcontinental, Ohio river and Southern passenger associa tion lines is in session here to-day, in dulging in an informal discussion of the commission question. Owing to the decision of the Supreme court in the Trans-Missouri case it was decided beforehand that there would be no definite concerted action from tho dis cussion. Xew Youk, March 25. The news that Western railroads were withdraw ing from the passenger and freight associations as a result of the decision of the United States supreme court against the Trausmissouri association, caused considerable stir among rail road men of this city, but as a rule they look upon the withdrawal of the Chicago, llurlington & Quincy from the various associations as hasty, hold ing that it would be better to wait un til the associations should be forced to disband. No steps have been taken by the Joint Traffic association in refer ence to disbanding. In fact the opin ions of leading trunk line officials in dicate that they will remain quiet for Iho present and awuit developments. Chauncey M. Depcw, chairman of the Joint Trade association, said: "It certainly docs not follow that a United States .supreme court decision against the legality of the Trausmissouri asso ciation will stand as against our asso ciation. The two associations were established on radically different lines. Our association was formed wiih the express provision that each railroad should preserve its own autonomy. In the other association the rate making power was with tlic association itself. With us rates aro made by the boards of directors of the different companies or by their presidents." Kassas Citv, Mo., March 25. All Kansas City freight and passenger combinations arc shattered and a seri ous war in rates is expected to break out any day. Nearly every traffic of ficial who is in the employ of a line formerly a member of the Western Freight association, has received or ders not to attend any railroad meet ings until further notice. Acting Sec retary George Footc of the local pas senger association, has announced that there will be no more meetings of that organization. The bars have been thrown down so far as freight and passenger rates are concerned, and the sharp competition which is at hand will result in lower rates. Omaha, Neb.. March 2.1. Frederick K. Condcrt, of New York city, one of the receivers of the Union Pacific, who is here attending the meeting of tho receivers, said of tne Supreme court's decision on railroad associations: "There can be no doubt but the effect of tho decision of the Supreme court declaring tho Transmissouri Freight association illegal will be very far reaching. It may very likely be that all freight and passenger associations will be dissolved because of the de cision. It looks as though the Union Pacific and all other railroads that are in tlvs hands of receivers would be moat keenly affected by the decision. The receivers of a railroad are really a part of the court, and no part of a court can take a position adverse to that of the Supreme court. The whole matter is of such great import ance that I should not care to srive any opinion until I had first read the full text of the decision. "' Work for l.OOO Miners. Louisa, Ky..

Jerry Slwpsoa Ceases la ea the Last Daj of Geaeral Debate. Washington. March CO. To-day was the last day for the general tariff de bate, but Mr. Talbert of South Caro lina had a very scant audience both on the floor and in the galleries when he opened. He talked a great deal about the robber barons. Mr. Champ Clark of Missouri said that as a Democratic politician he would rejoice in the oassage of the pending bill, because, after it should become a law, every storekeeper would be obliged to mako a Democratic speech every time he made a sale. The passage of this bill, he said would give tho Democrats 100 majority in the next Congress. After some brief remarks by Mr. Ma quirc of California and Mr. Gnnn of Idaho Mr. Tawncy of Minnesota, a member of the committee, spoke for twenty minutes. lie defended the lead schedulo which had been attacked by Mr. Gunn and asserted that tho classi fication in this schedule was such that the duties could not be evaded. The purpose of the framcrs of the schedule was to give American labor employ ment in the smelting of Mexican and Canadian ores and at the same time fully protect the American lead miner. Mr. 'Simpson of Kansas entertained the House for five minutes. He read from Mr. McKinlcy's speech at the Minncanolis convention the declara tion that the foreigner paid the tax. This statement, he said, was ridiculous. The last conerress had increased ap propriations 50,000,000, and now, according to Mr. McKinley's theory, the taxc on the foreigners wero to be increased to pay for the extravagance. The foreigner should be glad that the last Congress had not been a -,000,000.000 Congress. If tho taxes on the foreigner could be suffi ciently increased, ho observed sarcas tically, the surplus could be distrib utcd among America's people and every day would be Sunday over here. He was himself a farmer who farmed the farms, not the farmers. If the 11c publicans had desired to do something practical for the farm3, why had they left hides on the free list? lie an nounced himself a free trader. FITZ WILL TEACH BOXING. The Champion Will Opea a New York Athletic Club. Sax Fiiaxcisco, March 20. Bob Fitz simmons lias found an "angel" in the person of a New York broker, who proposes to establish the "retired champion"' as instructor in a new ath letic club at Gotham. Martin Julian said last night: "We propose to give instructions in all sorts of athletic sports to the best class of young men. The place will be fitted up very hand somely with all the luxuries and con veniences of a first class club. It will be our purpose to have, from time to time, such contests and exhibitions of athletic skill as may be interesting to members of the club, and we shall offer such inducements in the way of purses as will secure for us the best attractions to be had. Nothing, how ever, will be done that will in any way conflict with the law. By fall the building will be ready for use. Fenc ing, rowing, riding, boxing and every jthcr . kind of athletic sport will be taught. There wlil be magnificent baths and luxurious club rooms.' TWINS FIGHT A DUEL. BlvaU for the Hand of a Young Wotuaa One Dead. One Wounded. Greexsbu;;g, Ind., March 26. Gcorgo and Calvin Holmes, brothers, fought a duel to the death near Moor's Hill yes terday afternoon. The boys wero twins, 22 years old, and members of a prominent and wealthy family. Miss Iliggs, over whom they fought, is the daughter of one of the wealthiest fam ilies in the county.

From a source close to the administration comes the information that changes will occur in high administration cir cle:; which will land Major William Warner in the office of secretary of the interior within six months. Friends of Secretary Bliss say that tho New Yorker will not serve for the full period of his appointment. According to the story, the President said he had fixed en Major Warner to succeed Bliss as scon us Judge Field retired from the supreme bench. Yt'hen that came to pass Attorney General McKenna would go upon tho bench; Stewart J. Woodford of New York would be made attorney general, and Major Warner would bfi appointed secretary of tho interior. Will So: Oppusa the Bill. Washington, March 2C. The dinner given to ex-Senator Dubois by the sil ver Republicans of tho Senate and House resolved itself into an impor tant conference on the policy to be pursued by this party with reference to the Dingley bill.

Beet Sagar "Protection Wasted. Chicago, March 2G. A committee representing the sugar beet growers of the country will soon go to Wash ington to ask for protection and en couragement to this new industry in the shape of a tariff of not less than one-half cent a pound on all sugars and a reciprocal policy with other su gar producing countries.

KNOCKED OUT BY THE COURTS DECISION. The Saata Fe Withdraws Fross Alt ef the Western Assoclatieas to Malatata Frelg-ht Tariffs Bates May Be Lowered Some Fredlctleaa ef a Freight War. Railway Fools Dote For. Chicago, March 25. Every Western freight pool association and combina tion with headquarters here is appar ently in a condition approaching disso lution as a result of tho decision of the federal supreme court declaring all such pools to be violations of the Sherman anti-trust act. The Atchison. Topelca & Santa Fe Railroad company has already served notice of withdrawal from all the freight associations of which it had been a member. These are: The Western Freight association, the Southwestern Traffic association, thoi Colorado Freight association, the Transcontinental Freight association, the Transmissouri Bate committee, the Seaboard Bate committee (general Eastern agents of the Western roads in .New York and other seaboard points.) All of these associations have been practically abandoned because besides the Santa Fe, the Burlington, Minne apolis & St Louis, the Wisconsin Cen tral, the Chicago Great Western and several others are said to havo already forwarded notices of withdrawal. - No notice of withdrawal from tbe Western passenger association or other passenger organizations of the the West have yet been given, but there is hardly a doubt that these also will have to go by the board. Chairman Morrison of the interstate commerce commission having rendered an opinion that thcTransmissouri association case applies to passenger as well as the freight associations of every character. a The board of trade of this city has decided to begin a crusade against vio lators of the interstate commerce law, not only those who discriminate iu the giving of rates, but also those who ac cept them. At a meeting the trans portation committee was authorized to begin this work and instructed to prosecute it diligently. rate cuttings loosed fob. The lives of the various western as sociations were dependent on the unity of action of all members, and the with drawal of one line may be followed with tho makiug of lower rates, which would immediately resuit in all the other competing lines quitting the as sociation. Ofiiccrs of western roads in terviewed were divided on the effect which the disruption would have on rates. Officials of the Santa Fe said they saw no reason why rates should be come demoralized, while representa tives of the Chicago & Alton, notably Vice President and General Manager Chappel, said they did not see how a rate war could be prevented. Mr. Chappel added: "I think all traflic as sociations will have to go by the board. From a railroad standpoint, I think the decision is all wrong. It was ren dered without expert opinion." Vice President and General Manager Truesdale of the Bock island said the company would probably withdraw from all associations. Vice Prcsidcut Morton of the Santa Fc said: "I don't believe railroads will cut each other's throats during the emergency. We look for relief from congress, but to be on the safe side we annulled cur membership."' The consensus of opinion is that a period of widespread ami disastrous rate disturbance is at hand, because each road can now do as it pleases and cut rates openly and secretly regard less of the interstate commerce law. THEIR WORK SECRET. Senate to Give Ont No News of Fro posed Tariff Dill Changes. Washington, March 2.' The Re publican members of the senate com mittee on finance held their first ses sion on the Dingley tariff bill iu their new quarters at the Arlington hotel last night, concluding a little after midnight It is the announced inten tion of the committee to give out no statements of progress until the entire bill can receive an examination which will permit a correct estimate of its general effects and afford accurate in formation as to the revenues it will produce.

Iowa Coaarrosssaaa Makes a Bit la tho ease la tho Tariff Debate. TfASBTSQToy, March 25. Although several sharp passages at arms some what enlivened the tariff debate in the House yesterday, the brilliant speech of Mr. Dolliver of Iowa was distinctly the overshadowing featnre of the day. Mr. Dolliver is a finished orator, and his speech was a masterpiece of foren sic eloquence. Replete with wit and glowing periods, it alternately aroused, his Republican colleagues to un bounded enthusiasm and convulsed the House with laughter. Mr. Doliiver concluded as follows: "If the American peoplo ever get their prosperity back, it will come by their own individual enterprise and courage, notbyedicti and proclamations, but by the honest and careful settlement of conditions favorable to industry and investment If William McKin ley has been-described as an advance agent, hastening to the seat of govern ment in order to distribute prosperity from the east portico of the capitol in a few well chosen words, the concep tion belongs to the world of dreams and not to the earth on which we live. No man bears any such relation to the prosperity of a great people; but the man may stand, and I reverently be lieve William McKinley does stand, as the chosen instrument iu the baud of Providence' to restore to the United States a public policy which has never yet failed to enable the American peo ple, by their own honest hard work, to secure out of their own resources a fair level of prosperity, a reasonable reward for their labor and a reason able dividend on their investment." Mr. McLaurin, a Democratic mem ber of the ways and means committee from South Carolina, created a mild sensation by boldly proclaiming him self in favor of a duty on cotton, and it was noticeable that when he repudi ated the free raw material doctrines of Cleveland and Carlisle, ''and those who had prostituted the name of Democ racy," fully three-fourths of tho Demo crats on the floor sustained him with hand and voice. The other speakers during the day session were Mr. Gibson, Republican, of Tennessee: Dockcry, Democrat, of Missouri; Newlands. silvcrite, of Nevada; Lace, Bepublican, of Iowa; Swanson, Democrat, of Virginia, and Cochran. Democrat, of Missouri. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. It Is Boundljr Scored in the Senate Denounced a s Hntnbuff. Washington, March 2."-. The Senate was unexpectedly precipitated into a civil service debate yesterday. It pro ceeded for two hours, the civil service act and the commission being under Arc most of the time. The debate as sumed added significance owing to the recent change of-administration, and the attendant demand for oflices. Mr. Gorman, of Maryland, called attention to the presence in Washing ton of the horde of hungry place hunters, and expressed profound sym pathy with his Republican associates over the restrictions of the civil service system. The discussion came up on a resolu tion to investigate federal removals at the South Omaha, Neb., office. Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire characterized the civil service system as a humbug, and declared that he would-be glad to cast his vote to blot out the system. There was continued applause in the galleries at this state ment. Mr. Allen of Nebraska called the civil service act a ''monumental humbug," and Mr. Wilson, Republican, of Washington said it was a "humbug, a doluston, a snare, and a fraud." Mr. Hawloy of Connecticut, while defending the principle of civil service, said its practice had been attended with glaring incompetency. Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, regarded the civil service commission as an "office brok erage establishment" The Massachusetts seuaturs, Messrs. Hoar and Lodge, defended the law. THE IRON Oi'.c POOL DEAD.

INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE WOMEN OP THIS WIDE AWAKE TOWN. From the Sentinel, Cherokee. Knnmt Mrs. A. J. Ausmeas has resided in the vicinity of Cherokee, Kansas, for a number of years and is much esteemed by a wide circle of friends who will rejoice to lean that after many years of suffering she has finally been restored to health. Wishing to learn the particulars of Mrs. Ausmeus won derful cure, a rcnorter called nt hop mm!. 'dence and asked for an interview. Mrs. Ausmeus talked freely of her case and made no objections to stating the facts for publi cation. She said: "I have been sorely afflicted with stomach trouble for upward of lif teen years. The suffering 1 endured during that time is be yond description. I was taken with a dull rain in tho b-ick which never left me. I bad to be very careful iu my diet as my stomach would stand only certain kinds of food, t or fifteen years I could not cat fruit of any kind. I was treated by a number of the best physicians in tbe county without receiving any permanent benefit. Last fall while looking over an Illinois newspaper my attention was attracted to an account of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was so im pressed with the statement of a curo these pills had effected that I made up my mind to givo them a trial. I accordingly pur chased a box and began their use, and they helped mo from the first When I had taken three boxes my health was fully re stored and there has been no return of the disease or any of its symptoms. ''The pain in my back has left rae entirely Mid cow I can eat fruit or anything else I desire. I feel better than 1 have for fifteen years. I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for they accomplished what a number of physicians failed to da" Mrs. J. P. Morrison, wife of Mr. Fred Morrison, the ice dealer, of Cherokee, Kan sas, when questioned br a reporter as to tbe cause of her restoration to health, said: "For more than three years I was a suf ferer from stomach trouble. I had no appe tite for any thing and became so weak and emaciated that L could not attend to my household duties. I was treated by tho ablest physicians in Cherokee, but received little or no benefit. A neighbor seeing that the doctors had failed to do mo any good advised mo to try Pink Pills. You know that when yon are sick all of your friends know of sonic sure cure remedv which they insist upon you taking. I hall little faith in any medicine, but I finally consented to givo the pills a trial. So I sent to Boycr & Graves' drug store and got a box of the Pink Pills and began to take them. I took two boxes without feeling much improve ment and was about to discontinue their use when Fred urged .mo to try another box. 1 did so and before half of the third box was taken I felt so much better that I became greatly encouraged and kept on takiug tho pills according to directions. When I j?ot the fourth box of Pink Pills inv health was completely restored, and I feel better today and weigh more than I have for a number of years. I keep a box of Pink Pills in tho house and would not be without them. The trouble with moss people who use Pink Pills without receiving any benefit is because thevdo not cive them a fair tnss. but abandon them because they do not get immediate relief." Mrs. Mary Jones, wife of Win. Jones, the blacksmith, a resident of Cherokee, Kansas, for twenty years was a sutlerer from a se vere p-iin in tho head and nervous prostra tion. She noticed an advertisement of Pink Pills ia tho Cherokee Sentinel and con cluded to givo them a trial. The result was that ono box of Pink Pills restored her to complete health. Mrs. Jones is enthusiastic in ucr praise or Pink Pills. Mrs. Mcda Walker, of Cherokee, Kansas, has probably suffered more with neuralgia than any other woman of her ago in the state. In an interview with a reporter she said: "Ever since I can remember I have been a great sufferer from neuralgia. About three years ago tho disease seemed to grow worse. The pain in my head became almost unbearable. I had some decayed teeth ex tracted, thinking that perhaps they had ag gravated tho inalday. but no relief resulted. 1 wa3 treated by the best phj-sicians, among them a faith cure doctor, but cone of them could do anything for me except givo tem porary relief. 'About a year ago I saw an advertise ment of Pink Pills in the Cherokee Sentinel, and thinking they might help me I sent for a box. As soon as I began taking them I commenced to improve, and when I had used two boxes all symptoms of neuralgia had left me. That was about tea months ago and I have not felt a touch of the malady since. My cure was certainly due to Pink Pills alone, and I regard them as a blessing to mankind."
