MASON Orrr , la. , March 27. | Special Tele
gram to Tnn BEB.'J Another victim falls
at the hands of Christian science treatment ,
nnd the affair produces a profound sensation
at Charles City , where the death occurred.
Mrs. A. S. Graves had been 111 for several
flays , and believing In the ofllcacy of Chris
tian healing , refused to have a physician and
relied on the treatment of the healers , who
urged her to stand out against doctors. Mr.
Graves , who Is n traveling man , was nwny
from homo , but was telegraphed that If ha
wanted to see his wlfo allvo to come at once.
Immediately upon his arrival , seeing the
cr > tical | condition his wife was In , n doctor
was summoned , but too late , for the last
liopo was gene nnd the poor woman died.
The Indignation of the citlzoTis was aroused
to such n pitch that a coroner's jury was
empaneled , and after spending two days In
pinking an examination made n report se
verely condemning the healing , or faith cure ,
treatment. _

WASHINGTON , March 27. [ Special Tele

site problem tttlll remains unsolved. Secre
tary Wlndom , In response to the call of Gov
ernor Saunders , Congressman Connell and
Mr. 13. nosowator , stated that ho would do-
'or action until the matter could bo re-
'erred to a now supervising architect of the
treasury and his views upon the subject ob
tained. In the meantime letters and tele
grams continue to pour In upon tbo secretary
) f the treasury from prominent business
men and cjtlzcns of Omaha , urging the so-
.cotlon of the site on Eighteenth and Far-
nam streets , or at least that no ao-
.ton should bo taken until a full expression
f the views of the business Interests of
Omaha shall bo received. The fact that the
Nebraska delegation Is divided upon the
question , aud that such a strong concensus of
business Interests Is opposed to the adoption
of Mr. Ltnton's report , joins In making Sec
retary Wlndom cautious of moving in the
matter. Whllo Senator .Mandorson Is firm
11 urging the adoption of Linton's report for
the Planters' hotel site , Mr.Connoll Is equal-
y dotcrmlncd in Insisting that no action shall
bo taken until the secretary Is convinced that
the honest opinion of tha citizens of Omaha
has boon expressed and heard. Senator Pad
dock consistently refuses to tuko any part in
the controversy , on the ground that it Is an
Omaha uiatlor in which it would bo unseem

SAN FIU.NOISCO , March 27. A special from
Enscnada , Lower California , says ; A dis
covery Is reported hero which is said to bo
filling the International Land company with
drond. It It said that by a mistake In the
ngllsh maps at the tlmo of the treaty the
Guadnlupo-HIdalgoboundryllnobotwoon the
United States and Mexico was placed sixty
miles too far north , and that the real bound
ary terminates on the PaclUooceaii at apalnt
iomo distance south of Enscnada. Tlio treaty
rescribes that the line shall out the mouth
of the Colorado river , but the English maps
the only maps extant at that time had the
Glla river , whoso mouth is near Yuma , Incor
rectly marked as the Colorado river. The
mouth of the Colorado river is sixty miles
south of Yuuia. at a point near Isabel , and If
Iho boundary line were to bo drawn at that
point It would placa the Meanoadoro , the
town of Ensonada , and all the country north
of those places within tlio limit of the United
States.

Resumption of the Debate on the
Jctmlt Question.
OTTAWA , March 27. In the commons to
day Dalian , McCarthy resumed the debate on
the Jesuit question. Ha said that the act
should bo disallowed , whether the legislature
had authority to pass It or not. The dlsal-
.owanco of the bill is a matter of public
policy. McCarthy road a recital In connec
tion with the bill , which , ho said , was un
heard of in the history of the British parlia
ment. It's a disgraceful spectacle , ho said.
He would show that the Jesuits' estate for a
century belonged to the public domain. The
award was simply misappropriation. Tbo
Jesuits had no legal existcnco In Canada ana
their properties wcro vested In the crown. If
the supremacy act is in force , no foreigner ,
whether spiritual or temporal , should inter
fere with legislation. Ho denied the right of
any persons to keep silent on a question like
this , even when assured that the Jesuits
were under the rcgis of the pope.
Queen Vibtoria's Tour.
SAN SEBASTIAN , March 27. Queen Vic
toria paid her expected visit to , San Sebas

panied by the Duchess of Ballon and Coun

gether with numerous oBlcials and deputa
tions. The queen , upon alighting irom the
train , kissed Christiana on both checks.
After mutual presentations the two queens
entered tlio state carriaira and drove to tba
castle. As the royal carriage passed between
a long line of troops on oltbor side of the
roadway , military bands played the national
anthcin and the populace cheered enthusiast
ically. In the second carriage were the
Prince and Princess Henry , of Battonburg ,
while flvo others were occupied by Spanish
ofllclals and members of Victoria's suite.
Luncheon was served at the castle and
shortly before 4 o'clock the whole party reentered -

Union Paoiflo Earnings.
Boyrox , March 27. A special mooting of
the board of directors ol' the Union Pacific
railway was hold this morning , A draft of
the annual report was submitted , and In Con
nection with it the question of a resumption
of dividends was considered. It appeared
that the Union Pacific had earned during the
year 18S3 In the neighborhood of t3,40U,0X ( ) ,
which amount has been reduced by about
(800,000 through the failure of the St. Joseph
& Grand Island railroad company , tha Ore-
pan Itnllway and Navigation company and
the Central brunch to earn tooir fixed
charges , the money to moot which the Union
Pacific had advanced. On motion of Cook
it was unanimously voted that owing to the
existing circumstances of the railroad situa
tion It was inexpedient to resume pay
ment of dividends at present , A draft of
tlio report was then referred back to the ex
ecutive committee to be perfected and sub
mitted to the stockholders ,

CHICAGO'S OUERD.
Freight Commissioner Mnhonoy la
Preparing in OrgAnlco Opposition.
Freight Commissioner Mahoney , of Sioux
City , arrived In Omaha yesterday , with A
view to enlisting opposition to the movement
on the part of the Chicago packers for a ma
nipulation of rates on llvo stock , bringing the
latter rates below that of paoklnR
house products. When aeon at the Paxton
last evening Commissioner Mahoney said :
'Ttils it n matter that Is of importance to the
ontlro western packing Industry. I am from
Sioux1 City , but the question docs not Involve
Sioux City alono. It takes in Omaha , AtchIson -
Ison , Dos Molnes , Piattsmoutb , and every
pdcklng house west of Chicago. In
view of the demand ot the Chicago
cage packers that 'is now in the
hands of the Interstate commission for a rate
on llvo stock from these points equal to 72
per cent of the present rate , andoron below
that sf packing house products , It behooves
every western packer nnd western merchant
to tnko n decided stand against It. . Our rea
sons for doing this are open. If even the
live stock rate li o.iuallzod with the packing
house product. It moans n death blow to the
packing Industry of ovcry city west of
Chicago. At Sioux City , and I may say at
every point in Iowa , wo have raised our
voice against auch equalization of rates. And
now that an Issue Is coming wo must produce
facts that will Justify our position. Wo have
learned that the railroads will take
n neutral' stand on the question ,
nnd for this reason wo must com
bine our grievances and lay them before
tlio commission in rebuttal. That something
In this direction must bo done to prevent an
cncronchnjcnt upon our institutions openly
resolves Itself , and a. lack of energy on our
part may bo accompanied by dire results. It
aupourn to mo that Omaha should do some
thing in this direction , as it U largely inter
ested In tbo packing business , and > lias n
bright future In this direction before It. "
Mr. Mnhonoy is laboring untiringly to up
set the schema of the Chicago packers , nnd
states that in all probability their schema
will bo frustrated. To-day ho will confer
with Hon. John A. McShano nnd-several
ether Individuals Interested , in view of enlisting -
listing them In the struggle against the
Chicago monopoly.
The Investigating Committee.
A feeling of uneasiness pervades the po
tent minds In the headquarters of the Union
Pacific as the tlmo for the arrival of the sen
atorial Investigating committees draws'near. .
What will bo unearthed by tbo envoys of tho.
government is n matter of much conjecture ,
but that n largo sized skeleton will bo jerked
from the Institution is what Is pretty gener
ally expected. It will ba remembered that
several days ago TUG BUB contained an ac
count of the way tlio management of the
Union Pacific was equipping its proprietary
lines. The Irregularity wns traceable largely
to the administration of S. H. H. Clark , formerly -
morly general manager of the Union Pacific.
The present incumbents took occasion to
deny the report , but when given
an opportunity to produce. figures
to the contrary failed to do BO. It
is thought that the investigating
committo will have this in view and that it
will thoroughly considered.
Another matter for thelcommltteo will bo to
look into matters connoctcdwlth | the Bolt line
It will be remembered that at the time of its
construction about # 100,000 worth of material
was furnished by the Unlun Pacific , which
was disputed and tbo report is that not ono
dollar of the money has over been turned
over to the Union Pacific. President Adams ,
of the Union Pacific endeavored to obtain
control of the Bolt line , but ho ran against a
snag in S. H. H. Clark , and instead the Bolt
line was turned over to tno Missouri Pacific.
Although at the tlmo Mr. Clarke was asso
ciated with the Union Pacific , ho said to
have , in this case , played into the hands of
Jay Gould , and that ho is novy bping re
warded for services rendered Gould while ho
( Clark ) was general manager of tho' Union
Pacific. However , that a vast quantity of
material , together with labor furnished by
the Union Pacific in the construction of the
Belt line has not been paid for is a matter of
no secrecy ,
Retrenchment In liabor.
There are Just 11,720 mon on the pay roll of
the Union Pacific , 'which includes G. M.
Cuminpr , at the present timo. Those that
wcro of the opinion that "rctfonchmcnt"was
not the password and policy of the Union
Pacific bava m this indisputable evidence of
the facts. At no time for a period of years
has the force lowered to this point. Tha av
erage number is about 14,000 mon. There
are seasons of the year when the force of
trackmen Is reduced , but the lopping offof
over 3,000 heads is a rare feature even of the
Union Pacific. It is intimated , however ,
that the company will soon re-employ n largo
number of trackmen and crews that have
been idle for nearly the entire winter season ,
but following up this is n report that a cor
responding reduction will bo made In the
men employed in the shops at various points
on the system. As yet no material reduction
in wages has been instituted , but such
a move Is momentarily expected. The
pav" roll of tha Union Pacific , including
auxiliary lines , now reaches about $700,000
per month , a largo portion ot which is
gobbled up by the big fish.
"Western Classification.
Tha western classification committee ha
issued a now pamphlet superseding that Is
sued January 1. It will apply on all ship
ments April 1 , aside from the sections which
effects the advance in rates , the latter to
take effect April 10. The shipment of ada
mant , which bus in most cases been regu
lated by a commodity tariff , takes fifth class
rates ; agricultural implements , which have
been handled largely as second class , tnkci
to a great extent first cloas. Numerous Other
changes afo made in most instances advanc
ing in classification , which 'moans a corresponding
spending advauco in freight rates.

the council , that is , a majority of the coun

no doubt but the matter would bo

mo into the company financially tti addition
to my position as suucrlntcndcnt of con
struction. Now , gentlemen , whlla this is
not directly bearing On the subject of sub
way systems , it is beyond all question of
doubt currying out my , original conversation
with their agent to the affect that the com

hint all that I thought necessary in reply. . to
his questions , ho remarked "that he could beef
of great service to us in getting the ordi
nance passed , but that like nio.it of the people
ple in Omaha , ho was * not there on account
of his health : " but if ho , could got Into lha
deal on the bottom ho would do all ho-eouhl
to assist us in getting a favorable report of
the committee. I told him I would talk with
you about it , but you know I was so busy
the next day that I never spent over
fifteen minutes with any of the delegation.
I never saxv the electrical gentleman again
until the morning you teen the train , when
ho came to mo and instated on my telling him
just how and "whoro ho xvas to coma in on the
deal. I told him ho could urrnngo all this
with you after the ordinance wns passed , and
that 1 had no doubt he could get all the stock
of the Omaha Subway company ho could pay
for , upon the some basis ns anybody else.
Ha .seemed quite disappointed , that I would
not make some promise of u gift for his in
fiucnco with two or three of the councllmon
whom ho claimed to control completely. Our
Mr. Cooper informed mo on Monday after
noon that he saw the same gentleman on our
streets in company with ono of the
Omaha councilman that ho claimed to con
trol so completely. My opinion is that this
man is trying to wcdgo himself into the deal
by pretending to control two or three of tlio
members of your city council who , in my
Judgment , are above reproach and whose
characters , a * I Judge men , are head and
shoulders above that of this gentleman. Still
you ara in u better position to find out his
worth nnd ability to control or convince these
men than I am. I do pot believe it wise or
necessary to roach such men as compose
your council through agents , of this kind ,
and I believe that neither you or your asso
ciates would connect your names or lend
your inlluenco to assist any enterprise in lha
securing of legislation except In the most
open and honorable manner possible. Yours
truly , D. H. DOUSETT.
Toward the close of tbo meeting the feel
ing of indignation became intense and it was
thought that u personal encounter would take
place between u couple of the representa
tives of eleuirlo companies who were present.
Yesterday morning Councilman Burnham
was seen nnd said the Investigating committee
appointed Tuesday nlghtAwun already taking
the preliminary Btcpsitovvanl a thorough ex
amination Into the intricacies of the conduit
imbroglio , but nothing material could possi
bly be accomplished before to-day or the
day following. Mr. Bcblllinglaw had boon
soon and provision had been made for his re
maining hero for examination before the
committee , which. he would have done with
out any solicitation ouolho pact of the com
mittee. Mr. Dorsott , jtho is in St. Paul ,
was telegraphed to. jjconio hero forth
with , and the opportunity will ba afforded
tha gentlemen to tell thair Uttlo tales to the
committee. Mr , Burnbam did not feel iu-
dined to advance his idofis , either u a pri
vate citizen or a morobqr of tbo council , in
regard to tbo matter , ( A this time , owing to
its cxtrcmo seriousness and tbo prospect , of
tha high old time it U lilttly to occasion But
that ho has opinions , qpqxigorous ones too ,
there isn't the sligtitcst doubt , uud the re
porter gathered sufficient from his casual re
marks to convince him that the roiiimllteo
already Is in possession of much information ,
Upon rtio nature of this information , how
ever , Mr. Hurnham declined to expatiate.
Councilman Davis , was next seen , and
paid , inasmuch as the paper * hadn somewhat
mixed report of the work of tha committee
sent to Chicago to post themselves upon tha
practicability and expense of the different
conduit systems , ha" would like to explain
Just what they did do , before touching upon
the alleged boodle propositions :
"The coitof the Dorsett system , " he said.
"put down was about $1(1,000 ( in
stead of * ? 2,000. The Iron pipe
system cost $3 per foot or
* it > ,00J ( per mile. The latter is the system
that prevail * in the city of Chicago. After
arriving In Chlcugo the committee was
shown throe manholes , all carefully swept
and cleaned that morning by order of tbo
city elcctrlcaln , as thoysubscquently learned
'This official , wo wore told 1s n largo stock
holder In the Dorsett system In Chicago. In
UiQ af Uirnoon. wo ilrnva out uud laatoui nt
the waterworks , and hero two or three of u s
got some pointers rolatlvo to the Illegal way
ot Rotting a franchise , and wo at
once proposed to Invostlgato the
ether side ot the question ns
to the practicability and workings as demon
strated by the different companies using the
samo. As n result , wo got the different
members of the oommlttoo together that
night and canvassed the work laid out for
the next day , because , being the guests of
the Dorsett company , wo determined to give
thorn the whole of this day for further In
vestigation into whatever they had to show
us. But they did not see At to show us any
thing further , consequently wo started out
on a tour ot Investigation on our
own hook. Wo visited the telephone
company and got tholr estimation of tha
different subway systams. Tha electrician
of the Western Union telegraph company ,
who had nothing more to say against the
Dorsolt * than some other systems , but do-
clarcd the Iron-pipe system to bo the most
successful of any they bad tried. The
Chicago Arc Light and Power company owns
and controls the Dorsett system for Chicago ,
nnd wo wcro told by the secretary that whllo
they OWncd and controlled the Dorsott sys
tem , tboy had not laid a foot of it siuco four
nnd one-half years ago , but had put down
many thousand foot of the Iron-plpo
system. Ho was asked why they did
not lay the Dorsott system , and
his reason was that it WAS entirely too ox-
ponslvo to keep In repair. Whllo the Iron
pipe system cost more ns nn original expense ,
it was much cheaper and more practicable
and satisfactory every way iu the long run.
Ho was asked for the approximate expense of
those repairs to the Dorsott system , and ho
produced his books and showed us that for
the past nmo months this footed up lust f 10-
000. This expense was entailed principally
in tearing up the streets to got
at the defective portions of the system ;
replacing pavements , etc. , and repairing
manholes destroyed by explosions of sewer
gas , conducted from those defective conduits
into the manholes. That is the sum aud sub
stance of our Chicago expedition.
"Now about Mr. Schlllinglaw , " continued
Mr. Davis. " "I can heartily indorse him as.
an honorable nnd square gentleman In the
fullest sense of the expression , nnd take no
stock whatever In the Dorsott letter , which
Is nu effort to impugn his reputation and
square dealing with the members of the
council. Wo received the letter from Mr.
Sohllllnglaw before wo loft Chicago ,
and 1 know of my own per
sonal knowldcgo that Dorsott sought
an introduction to Sshlllinglaw him
self , and ho got It in my presence , and in
vited Schlllinglaw to his room , stating that
ho doslrod to talk business to him. Schlll
inglaw asked the members of the committee
whether they thought It advisable for him to
go , and wo said yes , and ho wont , and it was
at this mooting that Dorsott made the propo
sitions to him pupllshcd in your report of tha
council proceedings. Now Dorsott's letter
to the homo company Is dalcd the Seth , Just
two days ago , and wns probably actuated by
some Itnowlcdgo bo has obtained as to the
threatened cxposo of this whole
business. ' Hu endeavors to make It
appear as if Mr. Schlllinglaw sought him ,
and that ho made all propositions of a boodlo-
ish character , wanting to bo paid for using
his Influence upon us and all that sort of
thing. But we can clearly disprove all of
thii. Mr. Schilllnclaw was ono of our party ,
and wo wcro familiar with his every move
and all ho did. Ho Is absolutely above reproach
preach In this matter , as will bo completely
proven in due tlmo.
"About Lowryl Well , I don't want to
talk about that matter , now that n committee
has it In hand. It will bo ventilated , never
fear , and It looks to a man up a tree as if
somebody was going to bo cinched. "
Councilman Lowry was soon but refused
to talk.
Mr. Shllllnglaw was sought by n reporter ,
but succeeded in keeping out of his reach.
The matter was the ono theme upon the
streets to-day , and councilmcn and politic
ians are gathered in little'knots on every
street corner , and much loud talk and gesti
culation is going on.
TO OUHE THE SICK.
Severn Young Men Given the lllght
to Try It.
The eighth annual commencement ot the
Omaha medical college was held yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock In Boyd's opera houso.
Tlio degree of doctor of medicine was con
ferred upon seven young mon. They are F.
L. Burbank. C. E. Coulu , E. D. Cummins ,
G. A. Yates , P. A. Graham , A. P. Haynes
nnd W. T. Mason. '
Dr. J. C. Dcnlso , dean of the faculty of the , ,
college , presided over -commencement
exorcises. Upon the stage with the graduates
ates- were the faculty. In which the following
named gentlemen are included : Dr. Ewlng
Brown , Dr. S. Lolsenrlnp , Dr. W. S. Glbbs ,
Dr. J. E. Summers. Dr. James Carter , Dr.
Donald McCrae , Dr. F. L. Thomas , Dr. W.
J. Galbralth ; Dr. Joseph Neville , Dr. K. C.
Moore , Dr. J. C. Denlso , Dr. G. H. Peebles ,
Dr. Mllroy , Dr. L. F. McKenny. O. P. Seward -
ard nnd F. M. Miller. Other distinguished
gentlemen upon the stage were the Itov. D.
U. Kurr and the Itav. Dr. Duryea.
The scenery , In front of which the doctors
were seated in a circle , was a drawing room
In the first act of the "Still Alarm. "
The parquottc of the theater was fairly
well filled with visitors.
After the oreheslra had played "Tho Sum
mer Festival , " the invocation was pro-
nnunccd by the Hev. D. H. Korr. Thosweet
strains of the "Flower Song" wcro then
rendered bytho orchestra , and the degrees
were conferred upon the graduates.
Mr. Denise gave a Htilo hislory of the
medical college and reviewed the require
ments of a student on his examination before
ho could be eligible tor a diploma to practice
medicine. . He said the seven young mon had
tilled the requirements referred to and hu
was glad to sco them get their diplomas.
The degrees were conferred by Dr. L , . F.
McKcnnu , president of tbo board of trustees ,
nfter a brief talk to the young students.
Under the laws of Nebraska they were about
to receive n certificate that would entitle
them to practice medicine anywhere , in the
United States. They had studied hard for
them nnd were entilled to them. The
diplomas giving thoyoungdoctors ttiollconno
to get out Into the world nnd administer
medicine to sick people were then handed to
the graduates. . Shortly nfter friends of the
young men presented ouch one of them with
beautiful bouquets of flowers.
Dr. DcnUo stated that Prof.W. S. Glbbs
had offered' prize to the student best versed
in physiology , and that It would bo presented
to Ur , Mason , one of the graduate- ! .
The HoV. Dr. Durycn was introduced by
Dr. Denise nnd delivered nn appropriate ad
dress to the graduates and tha college. Ho
know that the public considered the Impor
tance of physicians nnd thought that the
people , biico u year , should go to such exer
cises and m u commendable way show thuir
appreciation of the efforts of the students
und the teachers. A largo city like Omaha
should reach out u friendly hand to any in
stitution like the roedicul college. People
wanted health nnd would sacrifice anything
for it. No one courted death unless ho or
she was in despair. The physician and
nature combined could do much to alleviate
human suffering.
Dr. Duryea's address was quite lengthy ,
but be entertained his auditors with his elo
quent talk. Interspersed with humor , without
being tiresome.
At the conclusion of his remark * the or
chestra played the "Dance of the Nymphs , "
and the benediction was pronounced.
Question of Cement. *
The city engineer and the pavlnp and gut
tering committee ) held u mooting at the room
of tbo board of publlu works to discuss Mr.
Lowry's roao'lutloii concerning a certain
amount of stone being used In making con
crete pavements. As the absorbent qualities
of stone differ tbo plan was thought to bo
impracticable. It wa decided to recommend
that tbo board of public works , and not the
chairman alone , in conjunction with the city
engineer should have charge of all Btich
work. If contractors do not put In the pre
scribed amount of tar in paverncuU.thoy will
bo docked accordingly.

JVIAHONEY 'S CASE CLOSED.
The County Commissioners Will Visit
the Poor Houso.
There was considerable surprise manifest
ed by the spectators to the investigation of
John J. Mahoney aud wlfa when tholr attor
ney announced this morning that ho had ex
hausted his witnesses yesterday afternoon ,
and tholr surprise was augmented by the
fact that neither of the defendants took the
stand in their own behalf , notwithstanding
the fact that Mahoney with ominous shakes
of the head had frequently boasted during
the Investigation of what ho would show
when ho took the stand.
This morning the case was continued until

SOUTH OMAHA.
The Work of Tramps.
The largo prairie flro to the south of the
city Tuesday evening was the dastardly out
rage of two tramps. Mr. and Mrs. M. M.
Parish had been away from homo during tbo
day , and when Mrs. Parish returned she
found two men trying to break in the house.
Refusing to depart when warned by Mrs.
Parish , she went In the house , got a revolver
nnd drove the Invaders away by firing at
thorn. Later they came back and sot the
gross on fire , with the intention of burning
up the buildings. They then wojt to the barn
und would have gone In there but she , re
volver In hand , came to the defense of tholr
property and by firing twice nt thorn drove
them nway Irom the barn. By this tlmo
neighbors , attracted by the fire , Pogan to ar
rive , nnd the vandals made a hasty flight.
The friends arriving had too much to.
to do to fight the encroaching fire to fol
low the mon. When Mr. Parish arrived
ho telegraphed the sheriff of Sarpy county ,
giving a description of tha men , Had not
timely assistance aud many persons arrived
to fight the lire several houses would have
boon endangered nnd much property burned.
The dcscrlntion of the dress of the mon is ns
follows : Ono had on bluish black chinchilla
coat and vest , light striped trousers , and the
other a JIght suit resembling jeans with a
stripe down the side of the trouscr logs , aud
both wore black slouch hats.

Ressiquo states that the company will not

ers and require him to perform police duties.
In regard to the electric light at the
Q street crossing nothing definite was
done although the prospects of getting the
company to put up the much-needed light at
that place is quite doubtful. The company
will likely pay half the expense of paving

"Whoro Is Jmlco Cooley ?
CiiCAao ( , March 27. [ Special Telegram to
THE UEK. ] The Impression has heretofore
prevailed that since the adoption of the in
terstate commerce law nil pooling between
railroads has been abandoned. It transpired ,
however , that pooling Is still being practiced
by the roads between Chicago and Omaha ,
covcnng nil freight trnfllo between thosO
points. The arrangement wns made between
the general mnnngcrn of the various road *
Immediately utter the adoption of the Inter
state law and great precautions were taken
to prevent the matter from lenldng out. Un
der the arrangement the chairman of the
western division of the Western Freight as-
soclatlnn Is authorized to even up shipments
by diverting freight from reads that had
secured more than their allotted percentage
of business to roads that had run
behind. This division of traflla has been
made up to the present lima and is still being
mada. Hut it is probable this pool will soon
bo terminated , not because the railroads en
gaged In It are afraid of the law , butdls-
Bcnslons have arisen between the lines In In *
torcBt. But forth ! * quarrel the Inct that
pooling Is privately being carried on bo-
twcon western roads would not have leaked
out yot. In proof of the existence of the
pool , correspondence ) Is to-day made public
between President Miller of the Milwaukee
& St. Paul road mid Chairman Pnlthorn of
the vVostorn Freight association. In a letter
President Miller complains Hint as to eastbound -
bound business from Omaha ho finds it lm
been Impossible forlils road to divertdressed
beef , except that of Armour & Co. , which they
were only aulo to divert by lonsonof a per
sonal request to Mr. Armour. The other par
ties absolutely refused to divert. This , ho
says , places tlio St. Paul road In an embar
rassing position , and ho can sco no prospect
of relief , as the movement of grain from
Oraahit has fallen far short of expectations ,
in consequence , principally , of its diversion
Into other channels not anticipated when the
agreement was made. Under the circum
stances President Miller fools that his com
pany cannot undertake to coutlnuotho agree
ment and gives notice that it will tcrmlnato
March " 0. Ho will , however , continue to di
vert dead freight to imuto the other lines
good on the excess the St. Paul has carried
up to that date. Miller suggests that the
aucstlon of n now arrangement bo laid bofoia
