Concerning the Interstate commerce com-
nlssioner's decision on grain rates , Mr. Iglo-
iavt said : "The decision would have suited
is exactly hud the commission ulinply put
Chicago on an equality with other points. As
t is , CJhlcngo is the only ono of the gateways
whcro tbo sum of the locals docs not
equal the through rate. The through rates
rein nil western points to the seaboard are
bosamo via all gateways , but look nt the ad
vantage St. Louis has owing to Us differ
ential on local rates. From many points in
Nebraska nnd Iowa it is nearer to Chicago
thnn to bt. Louis and yet under the recent
decision of the commission local rates from
ill western points are ( i cents a hundred less
than to Chicago. This diverts an immense
amount of grain to St. Louis which would
mturallr come to Chicago.
"The at. Louis people also have the ad-
vnntugo that they can receive the grain and
ceep it for months without demurrage
eh Urges and then ship It cast on exactly the"
same rate It would have taken if It had never
stopped In transit. In Chicago wo are sub-
ect to demurrage charges after forty-ciglft
lours and If it does not continue ! east before
seventy-two bom's it must take the local rate ,
a cents higher than the proportion or the
lirough rate. The practical effect of this
.nequnllty is that the St. Louis grain mer
chant can hold bis grain as long as ho pleases
while in Chicago it must bo sold within six
lours after Inspection , no matter whether
: be market Is up or down either this or pay
J cents more a hundred in addition to eleva
tor chtnves.
"Wo claim , and with perfect Justice , that
Chicago should simply ho put on nn equality
with its competitors. This can bo done by
inducing the commissioner to make a dlffcr-
oiieo of only n cents u hundred In the local
rates as between St. Lpuis and Chicago from
western points ; instead of the present (1 (
cents. AVe are perfeuth' willing to yield
our position if it can bo shown it is
not perfectly just and proper , and I believe
the interstate commerce commission will
look nt it as we do. Tbo reduction in rates
ordered by the Kansas commissioners will
not affect the question to any extent. It
amounts to a iio per cent reduction and Is
operative only on lines west of the river. "
From another reliable source it was learned
that not only would the Kansas roads contest
in courts the rights of Kansas commissioners
to reduce the rates as ordered , but that all
western lines would unite In con
testing the right of the Inter
state commerce commission to compel
the reduced rates as recently ordered. The
contest will bo beard on 'the Minnesota
granger decisions , in which the supreme
court decided no power could compel roads to
transport property at less than cost. The
cost per ton to the western roads on grain is
from 7K to mills. The decision , it is
claimed , will reduce this from 5J to 7 mills
per ton per mile.
Hint Ninety Days' Contract.
CIUCAOO , August 11. [ Special Telegram to
Tun J3nE. ] The ninety days in which tbo
Western Passenger association agreement is
binding expires September 0 , after that date
the agreement becoming more doubtful i
the association will out last the agreement.
Certain It is that Alton and St. Paul rends
express tno utmost dissatisfaction with the
agreement , nnd they , together with almost If
not quite nil tbo other members , declare they
will not longer continue tbo farce of living
up to the terms of the agreement nt. the end
of the ninety days , In no instance" is the
fault Jald at Chairman Goddard's door.
The agreement it.self , and the conditions
made by many of the rends in signing it , ren
der it iir possible to impose lines which will
stick. It is agreed on all hands that Chair
man Goddard could have conducted 'matters
more satisfactorily had them been no agree
ment whatever. The result of the inoperat
ive agreement lias been that each ronii has
done practically as it saw fit , rendering the
passenger situation more shaky than it ever
was uefovo the break of rates" in January.
Each road has a cause of grievance against
Its competitors and there is no wuy < under the
agreement to settle the dltllcultios.
Especially Is there war among the roads
competing for Colorado business. Ono road
claims the Missouri Pacific is to hlaino for
the whole trouble , -while other roads lay -tho
blumo on tbo Hock Island nnd approve every
act of the Missouri Pacific. From every'side
conies' the admitted fact that roads are doing
exactly us they plen- and cutting rates in a
way to put thn manipulations of pro-inter
state commerce to tbo blush. Many of the
lines are willing nnd anxious to withdraw
their mctnhorMilp today , hut none has yet
'
mustered up courage to take the initiative.

Sadie McGonignl was arrested yesterday
charged with disturbing the peace. She put
ip ? 5 for her appearance at'J o'clock and for
feited the bond. There is little of public In-
crest iu that part of it , but other facts in
connection with the case will bo of great in-
crest to the residents of North Eighteenth
street.
For the past thrco months complaints
against the place Have been very numerous
nt police headquarters. The neighbors al-
cged that it was a disorderly liouso nnd told
very damaging stories nbout the occupants.
Ofllcer after ofllcer was sent to tlio place , but
10 positive evidence was secured until Detec
tive Vaughn traccdiit down yesterday.
It seems that sue .unmarried . couples have
made the place their homo. Four of the
women nro sisters und the others nro old
.imo acquaintances. Ono of the men , nnd tbo
) iio who claimed to .bo the head of the family ,
, s a well known 'hay and feed merchant.
Among the others are a "hasher" and tbrc'o
voung men holding Important positions of
trust in the cdyr > >
Heretofore , 'whon'tho ' ' officers have visited
the plnco the parlies have claimed to bo mar
ried and no positive evidence to the contrary
was forthcoming. ,
Two of the women indulged in a hair-pull
ing mutch Saturday nnd the ono who was de
feated gave up the desired information yes
terday morning. TCono of the parties have
yet bcoa arrested , , but the place will bo
cleared of Its objectionable occupants , and
the residents of that ucighboi'linad will have
no further cause for complaint.

esting family nt 1T03 South Twelfth street.
An open domestic rupture has just developed ,
howqvcr , and it resulted In Mrs. Christian
sen's appearance in police court yesterday
afternoon. She informed the city attorney
that she had been a dutiful nnd loving wife ,
but bad been prostrated by sickness , nnd
that without Just c.iuso or provocation her
husband had declared that she was of no
earthly use and could not cnro for her chil
dren. IIo had sent the children to his
brother , who resides at Twentieth and Dor
cas. Ho declared he would live with bis wife
no longer. She likewise refused to live with
him , but insisted that the children should bo
placed in other hands.
It was to this effect that she wanted an
order from the court , who refused to Issue
ono until evidence was Introduced to show
that there was reason for It.

The Senate Again Hosumos Consideration of
the Tariff Measura.
SHERMAN COMMENTS ON ITS PROGRESS ,
The CoiiCorcneo Itepnrt oit'tlin Kitutlry
Civil Appropriation Hill is
Finally Agreed to la
the House.
WASHINGTON- , August 11. In the senate
oduy nfter routine business the tariff bill
vat taken up , the pending question being on
Mr. Plumb's amendment to reduce the nddl-
lonnl duty on Iron and steel hoops cut to
cngth for baling purposes from JJ-lOto 1-10 of
i cent per pound. The nincndmciu was ro-
ected , three republicans Messrs. liifjalls ,
'addock and Plumb , votlug In tbo uftlrma-
Ivo.
Ivo.Mr.
Mr. Mcl'herson moved to amend the para
graph by inakliif ( tho'duty on Iron or stccel
10 per cent advnlorcm Instead of 1 cent , I 1-11) )
cuts and 1JI-10 cents per pound.
Mr. Tliurnmn spoke of the llttlo progress
lint was being miido with the bill. Nearly
hrco weeks , ho said , had b jou sp nt upon it
nd not one-fifth of It had been disposed of.
Unless senators on the other side would bo
atlsllcd with ono vote upon a question nnd
vould then go right along the senate would
Hive to continue in perpetual session. IIo
.Id . not wish to sco any change in the rulm
f the senate if It could bo avoided. If the
ther side would forego needless icpotltlon of
mendmentsaud ot yea and nay votes the
cnntors might soon see daylight und soon bi5
bio to go to their respective homos. Tlio
till had passed the house and had been ' con-
Idercd by a committee of
ho senate , its general outline
> chiR on a scale of a protective tariff , even of
a high protective tariff. The republican sen
ators did not deny that. It was a tariff that
vould protect American Industries and build
up nearly all the Industries that could bo cm-
iloycil iu this country. It was a pretty high
> rotcetivo tariff , and there were some points
n it on which ho would bo willing to yield ,
still it had been reduced in several imnortant
mrticulars below tlio bill passed by the son-
ito two years ago. It scorned that the
canto ought to make more progress with the
bill.
bill.Mr.
Mr. Yost , said the senator from Ohio had
stated that tbo bill was acceptable to
ils side of the ' chamber. Tlio Hee-
ord did not show that to bo
the fact. On the other hand tbo most aggres
sive attacks made upon the bill had come
from that side of the chamber and from astute
stuto that gave the largest majority for the
opublican ticket in the late election. The
Jecord would also show that a proportion-
itely larger number of democratic senators
md responded every time the roll had been
called. He gave notice that every Item in the
jlll would be discussed , if necessary , unless
t was prevented by force , applied in some
'
'ushion.
The discussion having turned on. tbo de
preciation of farming property , a statement
vns read by Air. Ycst as to such depreciation
n some of the best farming counties in
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Cameron remarked that while the
statement was correct , it was not , in his
opinion , the cause of it. Its cause was the
demonetization of silver in 1ST3. Ever since
.hat act the price of laud and farm products
md decreased. Since the passage of the sil
ver bill prices had risen some 20 per cent.
Mr. Teller said that us to the question of
lasto In passing the bill ho was not disposed
.o deny its opponents a fair and free discuss-
on. Ho was williuc to stay and discuss tlio
tariff question or allow it to bo discussed , hc-
cuuso bo believed the American people
wanted to know whether the bill was a
n-oper revision of the tariff.
Finally a vote was reached on Mr. McPher-
son's amendment , and it was rejected with
out division.
The paragraph relating to tinned plato
laving- been reached Mr. Yost suid it wus a
jold , naked attempt by Pittsburp manufac
turers to create another monopoly hi their
jvvn interests against the consumers of the
United States. Ho moved to reduce the- rate
from" 12-10 cents per pound to 1 cent , the
present duty.
lr. Edmunds asked leave to offer an order
to bo printed nnd to go over. It is to the
effect that during the consideration of tbo
tariff bill no senator slmll sncal : more than
once and not longer than live minutes on erin
in respect of any ono item or any one amend
ment without leave of tlio senate. Such
leave is to bo granted or denied without de
bate nnd without any other motion or pro
ceeding except such .as ' relates to pro
curing a quorum. Until the bill
should have been gone through with to tlio
point of its third reading , no general motion
in relation to It , other than to take it up , is m
order. All nppcals are to bo determined nt
once and without debate. Finally Mr. Kd-
munds withdrew the order , saying ho would
present it again tomorrow.
A conference was ordered on the Indian ap
propriation bill and Mpssrs. D.iwes , Plumb
und Call were appointed conferees.
"
"Mr. Allison , from the committee on appro
priations , reported with amendments tbo
house bill for additional clerical force In the
pension ofllce , and gave notice that ho would
some thno tomorrow ask the senate for Its
consideration. Adjourned.
Jlouso.
WASHINGTON , August 11. In the house
today a bill was Introduced for reference
limiting to fifteen the number of the hoard of
lady managers , who may bo appointed by the
world's fair commission.
The house then proceeded to consideration
of the conference report on the sundry civil
appropriation bill. After debate , In tbo
course of which Mr. Dookoroy predicted n de-
liclcucy of between $2i > ,000,000 , and ) $ ,000,0l)0
in revenues of the government during the
current fiscal year , tbo conference report was
agreed to and a further conference ordered
upon the amendments still in dispute. Ad

board to the Black lllll.s , the tin mines ,
Ueadv.'ood and other points in that region ,
The special committee appointed nt a pre
vious meeting to take action In regard to tlio
Carter White Lead works reported as fol
lows :
U'hcreas , It has come to the knowl
edge of this board that Lev ! Carter ,
uM | . , ' after the conflagration which do-
iitroyoil his extensive plant not long
since , refused an offer of SiKW.UOl . ) to rcuiovu
the same elsewhere , und
Whereas , Mr. Carter refused the oner nnd
iclocated his works In East Omatin and has
already Invested largely in the building up of
Omaha :
Kesolvcd , That the foresight nnd buslueis
judgment of Mr. Carter In this matter , in
greatly to bo admired and coiumfiidoil.
Also further thanking Mr. Carter for tno
great faith ho thus show : ) In tbo future devel
opment nnd importance of this city ,
Secretary Nason made extended remarks
on the subject of population , comparing
Omaha's strides in that direction during the
iiiist ten years to Kansas City. While the
latter was several laps ahead of Omiilni ten
years ago hero Is the relative positions they
occupy now :
Omaha . X . 1-12.HOO
Kansas City . IKI.OOO
But Kansas City has eighty-eight money
loaning agencies to Omaha's thirty-three.
This fact seemed to Impress Mr.
Nason as being nn indication
that Omaha is not doing bushiest ! on bor
rowed capital nearly t > o much as Kansas
City. Ho called attention to the fact that
Knnsas City bank stock is bought and sold
Inrpelv by focal dealers , which tends tonmko
business brisk down there , nnd ho thought
Onuha might show a llttlo more enterprise
In financial matters.
