Dr.9 MOINKI , la. , Fob. 1. [ Special Tele- pram to \\v.r.\-To-day \ was the first opportunity which the railroads have had to present their sldo of the case respecting pending legislation. It had been announced that tbo railroad committee of the senate had decided to report favorably the Young bill llxlng railroad faro at U cents , ! 2 } { cents and three cents per milo for roads for'tho first , Bci-ond and third classes. Representatives of the roads asked an opi > ortuiiity to bo heard In thuir own defense and this meeting was arranged. H was an ovcnt of such inijiort- iinco that it attracted great attention. The railway commltteo of both house nnd senate mot together and their rooms wuro packed with Intoiusted spectators , Including the governor and members of the railroad com mission. These who Hpoko for the railroads bad little time for preparation and some of the leading roads had no representation nt all , nut having been notified of the meeting , but these who did speak protested with great earnestness against the legislation which they called not only un friendly but unjust nnd oppressive. The principal speech was niado by Judge McDIll , formerly railroad commissioner nnd United States senator. All of the speakers were frequently Interrupted by running questions from members of tlio committee , making at times n very lively dialogue. Judge MtiDill was first heard. He said ho appeared at the request of the Chicago , Uur- llngton & Quiney railway to give some reason why thu passenger rate should not bo re duced from : t to " cents n milo. Ho said that until the past two or three months , though he had heard many complaints regarding freight rates ho had heard nothing about a reduction In passenger rates. There was but ono road in the world thut had a 'J cent rule and had It come to puss that young Iowa pro- pascdlo go in front of the world ? The inter state law had withdrawn a privilege from a class , the commercial traveler , and they had met and declared in favor of a reduction. The polo movement It its favor lies in the natural preference for cheap rates In everything ; there was no uprising , no feel ing , In Its favor. He argued that the legis lature should rise above the people , for the people have given the legislature the power and the right and have enjoined the duty of investigating this 'matter. Ho sol emnly appealed to their consciences , their HCIISO of right that they should investigate this question regardless of what had gene before - fore and regardless of political platforms , for of ull hasty , thoughtless documents , a political platform surpassed everything else. Ho gave the earnings for several years past , and the average rate In England , Franco anil Cicrmany , and in the most solemn manner , declared that no gentleman could excuse himself to his conscience , the people or his God , and not bo slow to do so great nn in justice to the railroad companies. He quoted nt length to show the minute returns to rail way companies from passenger business. The amount made In Inwa from passenger rates wore a moro bagatelle. To reduce the rate meant u reduction in rail way facilities , slower trains or n reduction of the wages of labor. A statement was made that such a step would strike at 'J'.I.IHX ' ) employes , which meant lf > 0,000 poor people anil the Inference was drawn that the rail ways were the great conscrvcrs of the in terests of the poor. To reduce the rates on third class roads , as proposed , would reduce the income of Iowa roads $ iiS , > lrj.ii ! ! ) a your. The speaker Went on to show the small earn ings of certain roads ns compared with the v expenditure in operating them , citing espec ially the road from Fontancllc to Creston. Senator Young could not understand why , upon the figures stated , there was such a struggle to extend into now countries , the Chicago , llurlington & Quincy having been ninong tlio most aggressive roads. It was answered that this was all a part of the mad and inexplicable struggle to make money but it did not always succeed. It was hold that the Young bill if enacted would discriminate in favor of the commercial traveler , an argument which was imme diately answered by the statement that nt present the commercial traveler can and docs purchase l.tO-milo tickets and there fore enjoys n ii cent rate while these who travel but Httlo cannot ava.il themselves of this privilege. In answer to the remark that since 1871 there had been a steady rise in labor nnd a reduction in prollt , Senator Young reminded the speaker that in 1S74 section men were getting from SI.DO to ? 1.75 n day. while now they received but $1.10 , a reduction of about IMjff par-cent. In closing Judge MoDill said : "I warn you , gentlemen , I beg you , in the name of the la boring men , to go cautiously , I believe wo nro on the eve of the most dangerous move ment ever inaugurated in the state. A move ment that will react on the homes of the humble and the poor. " Hailroad Commissioner Smith nsUod If the roud cited as carrying passengers at 3 cents a milo did not have earnings inordinately great. The answer was that , according to the last report of the road , it had nuulo D'J-IOJ of a cent a milo. Mr. Smith then said , owing to the large travel upon that road , the profit was still in ordinate. Judge MuDill's paper was ordered pub- libhed and laid huforo the legislature. Mr , John F. Dnneombo , of Fort Dodge , so licitor for the Illinois Central , was then in- tro'duccd and at once launched into a state ment of the dlflleulties under which tlie-west- crn branch of that roud hud operated dur ing the past few years. The road is out , ho claimed , over ? l'J- 000,000. Ho believed that every member would do what is just. Ho did'nt believe that the governor or any member would knowingly do an injustice to an interest which involved so much capital and to the men who invested capital. He believed tlio people would do the right thing nnd the only question is whether this law isjustaml right. If "so they would vote it and if nut thovwould not vote It. It Is planned , so said the speaker , to put moro money into .Iowa railroads. These railroad people fool that they cannot stand the measures projioscd. If you adopt this law in Iowa and reduce this rate you put the men of the Illinois Central railway in a posi tion that will stop all progress and no moro money will bo brought Into the stato. There will bo u return of old foggy ideas to old style cars , otc. The earnings of Iowa roads give no sort of a comparison witli the old railroads of Pcnnsyls'iinia and Now York. " Ho didn't think that there would bo llfty miles of railroads more built In Iowa if there was unfriendly legislation. Senator Young reminded him that though his town had raised $100,000 toward n new road in order to secure competition , they were informed thut under existing arrange' ments no roads could bo built , and now the.v were resorting to throwing stones , as was done In the case of thu boy in tbo npplo tree , 1'iwidont Ives , of the Hurllngton , Cediu Rapids ' & Northern railroad , then took tin tloor. Ho' said the talk of watered HtoeV could not apply to his road. Ho said thai money matters were so close with them thai not n man could bo allowed to spend fl.H where fl would answer. Their uverugt earnings ner passenger for the past year , hi said , was but 'J.M7 cents a milo. Ho wasnskcd if in making his estimates hi counted receipts from mail and express busl ness. ness.Ho regretted thnt ho had not figures t ( nnswor dellnltely , but if ho had the unswoi to this it would make a point in favor of tin railways. This closed the meeting , the com juitteu deciding to report the bill for pus-sag * K to-morrow , Thurbday afternoon , The Iowa Legislature.

A Warning From tlio Alliance. DM MOINKS , la. , Feb. 1. [ Special Tele gram to the HUE ] Some of the members of the state temperance alliance arc getting restless because the legislature aoes not tnko up fast enough some of its pet measures which tbo radical prohibitionists wanted. One of the leading ofllclals of the alliance in in open letter to-day reads tbo riot act to uch republicans as are disposed to look ilightlnglyupon the cranks. Among other hlngs ho says : "It is very stale and very mcrllo to be talking about prohibition being orccd on the republican party. Who forced but the party itself ! Three fourths , at cast , of the republican party in Iowa are > ronibltioimts. Who then makes up this mrt.vf Where will you ttml the party if not vhero a majority it is ! It is sheer nonsense o talk about the republican > nrty and the prohibitionists of 'owa as separate and antagonistic parties , t is time , also , it would seem , to quit purad- ng the alleged per cent of loss to the party ly reason of the endorsement of prohibition vhen it is an acknowledged fact that it has only been by reason of its alignment with lublic sentiment on this question that the larty has been able to maintain its ascend ency. Public sentiment is firmer and stronger on the quqstion now than ever be- 'oro nnd still growing and the success of the iiirty is still assured , if it keens pace with the > regress of the people and redeems its plat- 'orm pledges. Hut let the republican uiem- ) ers of the legislature prove recreant to that > ledge they , and not tlio state alliance , will > o responsible for tbo result. " Jack KIIK'H | Tjlglit Sentence.

[ Now York Herald Jablo Si > cclnl to thu Ucis.l The following ottur appears in the Sportsman from Sul- Ivnn : Tlioro appears a letter from the manager of Jem Smith which necessitates my again isklng your space. There-has been no pat- Ing on the back on my part , M ho claims , nit only plnln , cvcry-day fight talk , and Rood noney to show. I mean business every time , agree to say that so far Fleming has failed o muster courage to cover It. Any man with sense knows that I would not attempt o stop Jem Smith In public because lie authorities would refuse to allow t to occur. It was my intention to ngren to n private room and only Invite a few cgcntlc- ncn to witness the downfall of Fleming's ict. As u matter of news I desire to state hat Fleming advanced ppoposals to my mckor for a four-round bout In public and uivo the gate receipts equally divided. Ho demanded my signature to a document to the effect that I would not knock out Smith and hat the contest should bo declared a draw , lo also allowed that subsequent to the mcct- ng he would have published a letter claiming that Smith had the best of it , and to use Fleming's words to Phillips , "You can reply claiming he best of it for Sullivan. That will work t up for another go , and a second bumping louse. The liritlsh public would stand two and possibly three such affairs , and we would nnko a great deal of monoy. " When Phillips spoke to mo about it I spurned the offer. I mvo alwavs fought on the square nnd am tow getting too old to listen to such .nn impo sition on any public , n * to say anything of the damage it would do my reputation. I irefcr to meet Smith in the prize ring , with jaro hands , and only hope for Fleming to cover my money in your hands. As for the Sporting Life I will under no circumstances allow those connected with that paper o have a hand In any match I make. Your mpcr is generally regarded as the most ro- iablo daily paper in the kingdom by all true American sportsmen , therefore Fleming can mrdly afford to decline to recognize the noney I have posted. I am agreeable tea a match before a limited number on each side , ) ut Fleming can have no such liberty allowed ilm to object to any that I might name , because - cause each and every ono will bo 'cntlcincn nbovo reproach and whoso character will be equally as good if not better ban the individual who prote'nds to be so loncst. I will admit of the clause being in serted to the man bringing persons over the lumber to forfeit. I came hero the -first , veck in November and immediately chal- engcd the world. Mitchell is the only ono thus far who has shown any inclination to a natch. As for Smith and Kilrain , they have shown no desire to flght , espe cially since the Rouen fnrco. In cgard to Smith being accorded the privilege of naming the day and place for the light , allow mo to say that sucii would bo prepos terous. I believe it is customary to toss for the lighting ground , and the1 day'is usually mutually agreed upon. Mr. Phillips is nt iresent on a pleasure trip , consequently I would have the pleasure of meeting Fleming myself to conclude preliminaries. Myorig- .nul declaration of returning in April , six months after my arrival hero , will bo ad- : iered to. Fleming knows my terms , and if : io has the heart for a battle fairly decided , him llrst cover my money , then ap- the day of meeting to arrange a light two weeks after .the Mitchell affair. Let him put up or shut up , and not ilisgust every ono-who believes in a fair field and no favor. Unless he soon comes to time Ills great man will have to crawl Into u hole and pull the hole in after him.

A few minutes before noon to-day a lire was discovered in tlio great drygoods establishment of Barnes. Ilcngeror & Co. on Main street. The building was an iron front , live stories high and extended from Main to Pearl street. It was but a few minutes after the llro was discovered before the lower floors were a mass of Humes and in half an hour the entire building with its con tents , valued at $750,000 , was destroyed. At first it was feared that some of the 4..0 employes of the firm had been burned , but later everybody was accounted for. There were many narrow escapes and excit ing scenes while girls were being rescued from the upper stories , but no serious in juries have been reported yet. The heat was so intense that the efforts of the entire ilro department of the city were required to save tlio buildings on the opposite side of the street from destruction. The loss by water in these stores will bo heavy. The ilro started in the paper rooms in the basement , it is thought , from a gas Jot. The total loss is estimated at about $1,200,000 , with enough insurance to cover it. The Third National bank building and the Glenn crockery establishment were some what damaged by lire and water.

Morgan vs. Dlnges. Error from Lancaster county , Afllrmcd. Opinion by Maxwell , J. 1. Wliero a vendor nnd purchaser stand on equal footing , the expression of opinions iw to the value of property will not usually bo considered so material that mlsstntcmcnts will constitute fraud.

CAi'rroh , nuiTniNn SKTTLINO. The walls of the central tower at tlio Rtato capitol building nro settling on the south side , and a force of inon have boon employed rebuilding the inside ad joining1 walls that were anchored to the tower walla , and have been cracked and seamed by tlio settling. It is a serious question this settling of the foundation after it has been laid two years and before fore the massive iron dome is erected which with its additional weight must tend more than ever to upset the equi librium of the central part of the build ing that already hears marks of decay. Why the building proper was con structed with and anchored to the walls upon which the dome is to rest is one pf these things' that develop in public buildings when too late to rectify , nnd it 'shows a grave error on the part of some ono.Vorkmon wore engaged yesterday in the additional work of taking out the joist in the floor and blocking them up three or four inches higher in the south wall of the central tower to overcome the settling , that there is no evidence is linishod yet. It is nn open question whether the wall that has settled as this one has will over hold porpondioultir the mass of iron that will go in the dome , hut if the dome is placed in position the coming summer and the wettling continues every wall in the building when com pleted will bo liable to open up lissurcs enough to rentier them utterly unsafe. In the meantime , as ono of the state olliccrs expressed it , the entire building is a mistake in its construction though the time consumed in its building and its being open to the weather year in and out. The massive walls in the un finished part _ of the capital building in this warm winter weather nro covered a half inch thick with frost and many of the timbers are water-soaked ; it may bo good for a building to winter in such a condition , but a great many people do not believe it.
