of the session, suggested that the
miners be given more time to prepare

WASHINGTON The answer of the

rying roads, was filed with the inter
state commerce commission Tuesday.
It enters a general and specific denial
to all the charges, statements and in

way-violating the interstate commerce
law and denies as false and untrue
all the allegations of unlawful. com

AN INTERVIEW.
WHAT THE LAW GOMTEMPLATES
Cattlemen Have Sixty Days' Notice in
Which to Pull Down Fences Du
ties of the U. S. District Attorney
St Perth.
WASHINGTON. Colonel Hcaay,
special agent of the general land of
fice, charged with the duty of report
ing illegal fences on the public do-
t main in Nebraska, is not at all satis-
J ged with the interview which was uub-
i
made no agreement with District At
torney Summers that proceedings in
court against the fence men s hculd
be withheld until after sixty days had
expired. He stated that h had no
lawful right to make such an agree
ment, nor had the district attorney.
"My letters to Colonel Summers,"
said Colonel Moody, "will show that
I complained against the violation of
the fencing law in Nebraska long since
and that I stated that the statutes re
garding illegal fencing were a dead let-
ter so far as Nebraska was concerned.
The general land office, in its instruc
tions, directs special agents to give to
cattlemen sixty days' notice within
which to pull dwn the fences, but the
act of congress requires a district at
torney to institute suit to remove a
fence as soon as an affidavit is filed
complaining of it. I had no right to
repeal the statute. I was appointed
to enforce the law by calling the at
tention of the district attorney to
Illegal fences and it was his business
to bring suit to remove the same. If
Mr. Summers has not been apathetic
then why has he not resented my
letters complaining of his apathy?
The letters which I have written to
him regarding this matter, covering
a period cf several menths. are made
part of my report. Complaints were
filed a year ago with Mr. Summers
against Miller & Leith for the notori
ous negro entries which appear in the
Alliance land office and later complaint
was filed with thfa same officer of the
government calling attention to ille
gal fences which they maintained, yet
nothing was done by Mr. Summers to
correct these gross violations of the
statutes."
COURTS POWERLESS TO ACT.
Friar's Death tsy Water Cure Cannot
Be Legally Avenged.
WASHINGTON. The secretary of
war on Friday sent to the attorney
general papers in the case of Father
Augustine, who died from the effects
of the "water cure" administered by
soldiers of a Vermont regiment, while
serving in the Philippines.
The case has been thoroughly inves
tigated by the judge advocate general
of the army upon the charges brought
by Charles Francis Adams. Herbert
Welsh and others of what was known
to the Lake George conference.
It is said the guilt has not been
brought home to any person now
serving in the army. It is expected.
therefore, that the attorney general
will declare that neither the courts
in this country nor those in the Phil
ippines have any jurisdiction over the
men or orficers who have been dis
charged from the army.
Claim Election Illegal.
CODY, Wyo. Tke election in Big
Horn county is alleged to have been
illegal and will probably be contested
by the democrats. It is claimed that
the certificates of nomination of the
candidates were not published prior
to tho election, as required hy law.
and this will be the ground far at
tacking the validity of the election.
and notice to this effect will be filed
in the district court at Basin City in
a few davs.

CHOLERA SPREADS IN MANILA.
Alarm Occasioned by Increase of Dis
ease Among Residents.
MANILA The number of cholera
cases is increasing in this city and the
spread of the disease is causing some
alarm. There are on an average
thirty cases daily. The Funston re
serve hospital, the casual camp at
Santa Mesa and Bilibid prison are now
included among the places infested.
The disease is spreading in the Mar
quina valley, where the danger cf an
infection of the water supply is re
garded as grave. Should the water
supply become infected a general epi
demic is considered inevitable. The
cholera reports from the provinces
show a decrease in the number of

RATES SHOVED UP
(FREIGHT AGENTS DECIDE COUN
TRY CAN STAND RAISE.
F8WEB BATES CO INTO EFFECT
Reduce" Tariffs Filed Since Injunc
tions Are All to Be Withdrawn In
creased Revenue Will Amount tc a
Large Sum.
CHICAGO. A meeting was held
Thursday of the general freight agents
of all western reads with a view to re
storing the rates which were ia- effect
January 1, 1902. Instructions to re
store all such rates as could possibly
J-be restored were issued by the execu
tive officials- and it Is stated that they
will be carried out t o the letter.
Independent of thi meeting the Col
orado lines met and began the work
cf "restoring conditions to Colorado
common points.
The plan is to go on the old basis
of rates thej first cf the year, which
will necessitate the withdrawal cf all
the reduced tariffs placed in eSect
since January 1, 1202.
Since the issuing of the instruc
tions by the United States courts fully
1.200 reduced tariffs have been filed
with the interstate commerce com
mission ax Washington and are now
in effect. If it is found possible to take
out the majority cf these tariffs, the
western roads win enjoy an increased
revenue next year amounting to sev
eral million dollars. Whether the rate
raising wffi go beyond the restora
tion of the old tariff remains to be
seen.
Several reasons are assigned by rail
road officials for a readjustment of
freight schedules, the mest important
being the increased cost of material
which is usad in railroad construc
tion. Another Is the general raise in
wages. Most railroad officials cannct
see why the cost of every other com
modity which is for sale is increased
and freight rates stay down. It is ex
pected that so long as the present
plethora of freight traffic keeps up the
railroads will be able to maintain
higher tariffs without serious rate cut
ting. PITTSBURG. Railroad executives
cf the districts of the central freight
anr? mr-ntr Itnp nccniv.arinns have de-
cided that a freight rate advance of -
2 ner Mit mns so into efft on the
i. per cent mus.. go into enact on uitr
bulk cf the mill furnace tonnage on
. , T ,
or before January 1.
The application and the division of
.
the advances on the rates from Pitts-
burg to the east and west are matters
of detail to be worked out in the tariff
committees and associations.
In the cheaper grain traffic an ad
vance cf 15 per cent Is to be made.
This will go into effect December S.
Reading Advances Wages.
PHILADELPHIA A circular letter
was issued Tuesday by the Philadel
phia & Reading railway notifying the
heads of all departments that "taking
effect November 1, 1S02, the wages of
all employes will be equalized with
those paid by railway companies in
this vicinity." The increase will not
take in the 10 per cent increase all
around, as was the case of the Penn
sylvania company, for the reason, it is
said, that many Reading employes are
now receiving higher salaries than
those paid by the Pennsylvania and
other reads in this section.
