ANOTHER CUT MADE IN WESTERN RATES Chairman Cnlilwcll'ii DrrlOon on the Hoy- cott Sturtu n AVnr Hint Mi y Involve All Hniul Went of Clilrngo In ( lenoral right. The action of Chairman Caldwell Monday In the Santa Fo case Is already bearing fruit , general passenger agents of transcon tinental lines being notified ycttorday mornIng - Ing that the Santa Fo would put In effect Thursday n rate of $10 from Mojave and Los Angeles to Doming and El Paso. The present rate Is the same ns from these points to the Mlpsourl river , ? 20 , so that the reduction will bo Just one-half of Iho present rate. Undoubtedly this now rate Is made by the Santa Fo In rotallallon upon Iho Soulhern Pacific for the boycott declared by that road at El Paso and Doming. The Southern Pacific has refused to route passengers cast over the Santa Fo Hues from these points , much to the disgust of the Atchlson , and It now gets back In Ihe mosl approved Marquis of Qucensbury stylo. By adding the local , this cut will bo operative for some distance Inlo Iho San Joaquln valley and will undoubtedly prove a serious Invasion of Southern Pacific terrllory. From the above It would seem that the Santa Fo desires lo make Us slrongest fight In California , but It will probably not bo pomitlcd to do so by the Southern Pacific , which , It Is expected , will follow up this cut on the part of Iho Alchlson by announcing a lower rate from the Missouri river lo Iho common polnls louchcd by bolh roads In California. This now ralo will nol necessarily affect the rates' from Iho Missouri river to El Paso and Doming , although there Is no telling Just where this cut will slop , nnd In consequence quence of Iho hostllllles commenced It Is thought In local circles that this Is , simply Iho beginning of a ralo war which will rival that of 1BSG. WJTIimiAWAIj OK TlIU ATC1IIHON. Morn Troiihlo on Tup for tlin AVenlorn J'ns- AHHocliitlon. CHICAGO , March G. As promised yeslor- day , Iho Alchlson has withdrawn from the Western Passenger association. It assigns as Its reason for withdrawal that the asso ciation agreement affords It no protecllon and Is a failure as far as protection against outsldo lines Is concerned. It alludes In Us notice of withdrawal In a sarcastic manner to the way Iho boycolllng clause of Iho agreement works against a feeble line , like the Jacksonville Southeastern , and refuses to work against n powerful line llko the South- crn Pacific. The notice of withdrawal from the association does not carry with It with drawal from Iho cmlgranl clearing house ot the Weslcrn Passenger assoclallon. It will stand by the clearing house for some tlmo , at least. The association was In session when a notice of withdrawal was received. II was Informally discussed , bill no action was taken , the general opinion being that the lines should stand by Iho assoclallon for at least a short time. All Ihe members ndmll , however , Dial Iho usefulness of Iho nssoclallon will bo greally Impaired. At loday's meellng of Iho Western Passen ger association It was agreed to make sum mer tourist rales on Iho usual basis of SO per cent of double locals for Iho round Irlp. Tickets will bo on sale from May 1 to Octo ber 31. The Atchlson has been quietly collecting ovldenco against the lines which so severely condemned the Atchleop. for refusing lo call in the annual passes It had hsucd. It has secured ovldencothai almost every road which had censured the Atchlson had , at the very llmo Iho censure was passed , a long list ot annual passes placed where Iheyfbuld bring the best returns In business. A list of sixty annual passes Issued by one road to "land agents" was displayed , and the rrta- Jorlly of Ihe alleged "land agonls" are rated 13' ' In Dun and Brodstreet's as jobbers , bankers and shippers , generally. If the Interstate I .commerce law was operative the Alchlson could make It amazingly Interesting for Ihoso who censured 11. Chairman Mldgely of Iho Wcslern Freight assoclallon received a long lelegram loday from Presldenl Relnharl of Iho Alchlson , which declared lhal Iho Alchlson was , and always had been , willing lo resume Iho ne gotiations where they had been Indefinitely postponed by Vice President Crocker of the Soulhern Pacific. As President Huntington of the latler line has shown u willingness to negotiate , It Is possible the row may bo patched up. Will Cutch Them All. Railroad circles were considerably wrought up yesterday morning over Iho news pub lished exclusively In The Bee from Chicago regarding Ihe acllon of Chairman Caldwell and Iho probable withdrawal of the Santa Fe In consequence of Chairman CaldwcU'H ruling. A general passenger agent said tea a Boo reporter that undoubtedly a very blt- lor ralo war would rcsull , which would not only Involve all iho. western lines , bul Chicago lines as well. "The Santa Fe , " said ho , "has rlghls In Ihls mailer which the public know little about. Tha road has boon knocked about from post lo pillar by the Southern Pacific until patience has ceased lo bo a virtue and 11 has finally been driven Into n position where a light to a finish will only save It from losing much ot Its California business. Caldwell , I believe , has been hasty In the matter , bul Iho sooner Iho Issue Is joined the boqner will the 'cruel war' bo over. Undoubtedly the Santa Fo will lake the Initiative In a further reduc tion and I expect rates will go glimmering In a few days , to the everlasllng disgust of SERIES NO. 2. March 7 , 1S94. DICTIONARY.

" Speaking of freight matters In conncctloi with the Santa Fo , a railroad man said tha nil the difficulty over freight rales In con ncollon with the Santa Fo had grown out o the lattcr'8 violation of the pass anreemen with General Manager Jeffries of the Denver & Itlo Grande , handled without gloves at a meeting of Iho trafllc managers recently It Chicago.

'Gilbert ' , city marshal of Calhoun , saying that n man answering closely the description of the man who shol Frank Hlbak , Iho Clark slreot grocer , Monday night , was In cuslody Ihere. A man will be senl loday lo bring him here. William Shaeffer and John Linden wcro arresled yeslerday by Officer Sailer charged wllh being suspicious c'-aracters. They are supposed to answer the description of the Clark street robber. Yesterday morning Shadier called Officer Sailer's attention lethe the description of the man as printed In The Ileo nnd said ho know where he could bo found. Ho then went to Tenlh and Dodge sli eels and pointed out Linden. Late yes terday afternoon Linden was laken lo Mr. lllbak's residence. 1128 Norlh Nineteenth streel , and Mrs. lllbak wns called In. The * man\ was Ihon asked lo remove his hat nnd then Mrs. Ulbak , with a look of terror , gazed on him a moment. It was thought that by the horrified manner In which uho looked at him ho was the right party , but she said thai she would ralhor let her husband decide , us she was so excited at the llmo lhat she could scarcely tell him If she saw him. Linden was Ihen laken Into where Mr. Hlbak was lying. The man was asked to remove his hat and then to put It on ngaln. Mr. Hlbak looked nt him carofultyvand said lhal ho thought his as sailant was somewhat taller and Mrs. Hlbak , when she heard her husband say this , said Rho thought lhat the man who entered Iho store wns rather taller , loo. During the whole proceedings Linden was silent till Mr , Hlbak said ho thought ho was not the man , when he said lo him lhat ho desired that ho bo exceedingly sure and not wrongly accuse him. Linden , howovor/wlll bo held a few days and ho will bo laken lo Ihe Hlbak resi dence again before ho Is liberated , ns both Mr. and Mrs. Hlbak bavu hardly recovered from the excitement and may bo able a day or two hence to batter Identify the rob ber It ho Is presented. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Hlbak was feel ing ns well -ns could bo expected and the chances nro that ho will live. The- authorities at Calhoun are very sura they have the right party.

All thrf members of the city council faced the chairman when his gavel fell last night and the first thing after roll call the ball opened by a motion by Holmes to reconsider the vote by which the bond of George Doverell , building Inspector , was approved , the gentleman who made the motion staling as a reason for the move that the bond was not good and did not properly protect the Interests of the city. The vote on the motion was : Yeas Bruner , Burkley , Calm , Edwards , Hascall , Holmes , McAndrows , Parker , Thomas , Wheeler and Mr , President 11. Nays Back , Decliel , nisasser , Jacobson - son , Lemly , Sattnders , Sp.ocht 7. The bond wni then referred to the committee on judi ciary. A message wn-J read from the mayor veto ing the resolution of the council remitting the taxes on the part of lot G , block 112 , leased by the Omaha Charity association , on the ground thaClho resolution was so Indefi nite that the treasurer was unable to ascer tain how much of the taxes was to bo re- mlttod. The veto was sustained by n vote of 8 to 10. The following appointments by the mayor wcro read and referred to the committee on Judiciary : Jumcs Andrews and D. W. Gil bert as members of the board of engineer ; * , and J. M. Moore as overseer of city prisoners. The appointment of Dr. Ramacclottl aa city veterinarian was confirmed. A report was received from the city at torney to the effect that the claim of J. P. Tilly , ox-bulldlng Inspector , for salary , could not.b.0 maintained and no money should bo paid on the same. The report was adopted. The city nltorney reported against paying any money for the paving opposite the park on Twenty-ninth nvonuo until such a tlmo as a case , Involving the liability of the city In an exactly similar case , now pending In the supreme court was decided. The report was concurred In. The comptroller reported on the matter of the excess payment by the city to the county for feeding prisoners In the counly jail. Ho stated that under the provision of the city charter ho did not think the clly-could le gally pay more than 15 cents for each mcnl , furnished. The county could pay what It saw fit , but the , clty was bound by Iho char ter as to the amount It could pay. The comptroller also stated that ho had checked up the amount paid the county for feeding city prisoners and found that the county had been overpaid by several thous and dollars because many of the prisoners charged for were bound over as state prison ers. The comptroller als o maintained that the city should have Its share of the road paving money , the same as It Is allowed on the road fund. Ho also notified the council that the city had been perpetually enjoined by thu United States court from taxing the railroad property outside of the right of way. Report placed on file. The park board asked authority to appro priate funds for the purpose of testing the right of the council to take Jefferson square for market house purposes as the board had expended $11,500 In Improvements on the same. It was granted the privilege of expending - pending a sum not to exceed $300. The gas Inspector reported that ho had ex amined the gasoline lamps during the month and found the candle power 4.75 below the average contract power. The report was re ferred to the committee on gas and electric lights. A petilion that the Slreet railway company bo required to- use all the tracks It had laid In the streets was referred.

A protest was received against the award for the widening of Thirty-third street. Re ferred to the committee on streets and alleys. A petition was received and referred pro testing against the location of city dumps at the foot of Hickory street or Poppleton ave nue. ELECTRIC LIGHTING FIGHT RENEWED. The bond of Pardee & Co. , for the faithful performance of the electric lighting contract was presented and Specht moved that It bo referred to the committees on Judiciary and electric lighting for Investigation and to ascertain what the company wanted In the way of a franchise. Elsasser said ho had a copy of the fran chise the company would ask and It would bo presented at the proper tlmo In the pro ceedings. Ho called for the opening and reading of the bond and objected to the reference to the committees on the ground that It was essential that speedy action be taken on the matter In order that the com pany could complete the work , and In his opinion the reference asked would only result In unnecessary delay and possibly In the whole matter being held up Indefinitely , Specht said ho wanted Pardeo & Co. to get the contract , but he wanted the Interests of the city protected , and also to ascertain how they proposed to put up their wires and con struct the whole system , as the city had too many wires and poles In the way now. Wheeler said , ho wanted the bond and franchise both referred to the committees mentioned , and moved as an amendment that they both bo referred to these com mittees when the franchise was presented , Elsassor said . there were only three months In which to got the plant in opera tion , a ? one of the present contracls ex pired Iho 30th of April. He wanted the bond tit least opened and read to the council that all might see and know who the sureties wore. EdWnrds deprecated rushing things through , and thought there might bo some special motive In doing so. Bruner wanted the bond opened and read and. If good , approved speedily. Ho didn't want any reference , for ho had known such things as ordinances and other Important matters remaining In the hands of com * mltlees for sixty days and oven more. Saunders moved that the bond bo read and then referred to the committees men tioned , and the motion prevailed by the following - lowing vote : Yeas , Back , Bechel , Edwards. Hascall , Holmes , Jacobson , McAndrews , Par. ker , Saunders. Specht and Wheeler 10. Nays Bruner , Burkloy , Calm , Elsassor , Lomly , Thomas and Mr. President 8 The bond was then read , andjcpntalncd the names of Pardeo & Co. as principals and S. D. Mercer as surety. Holmes then moved to reconsider the vote by which the nomination of George Deverlll as building Inspector was confirmed. This precipitated another wordy warfare , In which Saunders wanted to know what this proceed ing meant. Ho sold that the vote on tha bond had been recqnsldored on the pica that there was something the matter with the bond , and now the movers of that scheme wanted to have the confirmation of the ofll cer reconsidered. Jacobson said the council could not do what was proposed , as the man had already token possession of the office and ho and several others asked for the opinion of the city attorney as to the legality of the pro ceeding , but Hascall , Holmes and Parker objected to hearing the city attorney. A vote on the motion to reconsider was then taken and resulted In n tie , and tliq chairman declared the motion lost. The vote wan as follows : YeaH. Ilrunor. Calm , Hascall.

' ' ' ELECTRICIAN' , ? OFFICE ABOLISHED. The Judiciary committee recommended the passage of the ordinance vacating the office of city electrician , and abolishing It. Saundcr.1) protected ugalnsl any such ac tion , while Hascall Insisted on It , taking advantage of the opportunity to roast City Electrician Cowglll. He said that a new ordinance to again create the offlco could bo at once Introduced , but this was the only way to got the present Incumbent out ol office. The First warder said the council must assert Its dignity and rebuke the mayor for violating his oath of office In not sending In another name for that place. The report was adopted , and Just before adjournment Hascall called up the ordinance , It was placed on Us passage and received the following vote : Yeas , Back , Bochel , Edwards , Hascnll , Holmes , Jacobscn , McAndrows , Par ker , Specht , Wheeler 10. Nays , Bruner , Burkley , Calm , Lomly , Saunders , Thomas , Mr. President 7. The same committee reported against re ducing the salary of janitor at the city Jail from ? C3 to $50 a month. Adopted. The same committee reported In favor of allowing thd claim of Building Examiner Sedgwlck for eighteen days In February. Adopted. The report of the board of equalization on special assessments was recommended for adoption. Wheeler wanted to cut out the part rotating to the Lake street grade. Specht and Saundera championed the cause of the Lake street property owners who want the street graded. Specht charged thai Wheeler was espousing the cause of two wealthy property owners and no one olso. Saunders argued that Iho north cndcrs had no outlet to the west north of Hamilton streel , and Iho proposed grade was a relief lo which Ihoy wcro entitled. Wheeler said the proposed plan was not equitable , as the proposed tax was not evenly assessed. lie Insisted that It would be an outrage If the council took such action. Bruner roasted the obstructionists whose property had been made valuable by the public spirit and Improvements of others and who were still kicking. Parker , Burkloy and McAndrews were the only suporters Wheeler could call lo his side of the question , and the report of the board was adopted. A number of Interested property owners were attentive auditors , and as soon as the report was adopted they went out to jubilate. The report of the committee on public property and buildings recommending ad versely on the application to place a cigar stand In the city hall was adopted ; like wise the adverse report on the purchase of a city ambulance , owing to lack of funds. The prolest of William Swoesoy and others against grading Jefferson square for a mar ket house site went tp the file. The special committee to which waa re ferred the electrical ordinance reported a substitute ordinance and recommended Its passage. Adopted. The following ordinances wore introduced : Relating lo IJje , | lulles of clly eleclrlclan and governing , eectrlcal | work and wiring ; several grading .ordinances ; granting Pardee & Co. a franchlsb for the maintenance and operation of a plant for furnishing electric light and power.L „ The latler was referred lo the committees on judiciary and telephone poles. , . , The salary appropriation ordinance wao Passed. * , , DRANK'CABBOMC ACID.

WASHINGTON , March 0. IntcrcBtlnR facts concerning the postal service arc em bodied In the unusually complete report on the appropriation bill compiled by Repre sentative Henderson of North Carolina , chairman of the committee on postoffice . The estimates of the department , on which the bill Is based , amountto $90,399,485 , ex clusive of special facilities on trunk linen , an Item amounting to J198.G14 , The bill recommends an appropriation of JS7.170.590 , which IK In round numbers $3,000,000 less than the estimates and about the aamo sum In advance of the appropriations for the current year. The estimated postal revenue for the fiscal year 1895 Is $31,427,718 , " 0 that the postal service Is nearly self-mipporllng. Instead of depending upon the future action of congress to make good deficiencies , the bill provides that a sum equal to whatever de ficiencies may nrlso shall bo appropriated. Throughout the report comparative tables for each Item arc given , showing the appro priations for ton years and making an In teresting history of the growth of the sys tem. A material reduction from the esti mates Is made In the compensation of post masters. The amount asked for was $17,250- 000 and that recommended 1st $10,000,000. For clerks' salaries the full estimate of $9,700,000 Is granted , an Increase of $340,000 over last year. For frco delivery service the estimate of $12,327,055 Is recommended , an Increase of $1,000.000 from the preceding year. For Inland transportation by railroad routes , $2li,900,000 was naked for and $25,500,000 granted , an In crease of $1,000,000 from last year. That the postal service might bo a money making system Is shown by the fact that 87,000,000 pounds of free matter for the government was carried during the year , which , had It been paid for at regular rates would have yielded $7,133,304. The amount credited on account of the Pacific railroads for the year past was $1.039,817. Of crimes , the report says : "During the year , 1,881 persons were arrested for violation lation of the postal laws and of these per sons arrested 227 wcro postal employes , sixty-five postmasters , fifty assistant post masters , twenty-eight clerks In poslofilces , eighteen railway mail clerks , twenty-seven letter carriers , twenty mall carriers and nineteen other employes In other grades. When It Is remembered that there are about 185,000 persons employed In the postal serv ice the number Is small. " The free delivery of mall In forty-six small towns , ranging from 400 to 4,000 In population , Is said to not have shown the expected Increase In business and no further appropriation for extending the service ex perimentally Is recommended , particularly as the free delivery branch has a. deficiency of $68,010 for the first time In Its history , and to make a fair trial of rural frco de livery would Involve great expense , at leant $200,000,000. Ocean mall contract routes In operation with their cost arc : New York to Guyana , $81,287 ; New' York to Colon , $82,117 ; San Francisco to Hong " Kong , $05,523 ; New York to Tuspan "and Now York to Havana , $131,523 ; total , five routes , $393.450. A sav ing of $907,923 has been made by cutting off the following : Galveston to La Guayra , San Francisco to Panama , New York to Antwerp. Now York to Buenos Ayres , Now York to Hlo de Janeiro. Dissenting views are reported by Repre sentatives Kyle of Mississippi and Loud of California' from the recommendation to ap propriate $190,011 for special mall facilities on trunk lines. They argue that the prin ciple which allows the government to dis criminate In favor of Individual enterprises Is unjust and demoralizing to the system , that Postmaster General Qlssell does not recommend Its continuance , but his report shows that roads which had previously been beneflclarleg of. .tho fund and are not now receiving it are rendering as good service as before. They assert that no postmaster general recommended an appropriation of that character and clto Postmasters General Dickinson and Wnnamaker na against It. CUSTOMS JlKCtillTS. Mr. Dockory'H Hill r.ootclng Towiiril a Closer Arconntliifr. . WASHINGTON , March 0. According to the report of the Dockery Joint commission , which recommends , among other things , the abolition of tho. offlco and bureau of commis sioner of customs , accounts of the govern ment aggregating millions of dollars have not been audited , and If there has been no diversion T > f public moneys to private uses the fact Id due wholly to the Integrity of the collectoru of customs at such places as Chicago cage , Cleveland , Buffalo , Galveston , El I'nso and other entry ports. The loose manner of doing business , the report says , has not been duo to any Inattention of the Treasury de partment , but Is 'due to existing laws re garding the auditing of customs accounts. These have established an auditing officer , " technically known as "naval"ofllcer of the port , " at Boston , New York , Philadelphia , Baltimore , New Orleans and San Francisco. This olllcor has no naval duties , but Has been charged with carefully auditing the customs receipts of these largo ports. It has Insured complete protection to the govern ment In the accounts from these sources. But the la.v has confined these auditing officers to the six ports mentioned , and no provisions have over been made for a like auditing of reports from Chicago and the many other customs ports outside the six designated , As a result of this omission , the customs collectors at Chicago and those other ports have forwarded their reports and collections to the Treasury department with copies of the papers In each account. The treasury officials passed upon the papers as the collectors submitted them. There was no means of checking them with the orlg-- Inal papers , The word of the collectors that $1,000 was collected on a particular Import of goods had to bo accepted without an ex amination which would disclose conclusively that $1,000 was the amount collected. It was readily In the power of unscrupulous employes to falsify the papers sent to Wash ington and escape detection. The Dockery commission will now propose a change of the law by which the commis sioners of customs will pass out of existence and the firM auditor of the treasury will hereafter audit all customs accounts. Chicago and other cities would thereafter bo brought into the system by which each collection Is audited and verified from the original papers. No additional naval officers will bo authorized , but the customs collectors will bo required hereafter to mibmlt.tho orig inal papers , Invoices , etc. , In order that the treasurer may audit from the originals In stead of from copies. Considering the vast sums which have gone unaudited for years , the loose manner of accounting Is a matter of much surprise to veteran government accountants , HUNT TO Till : 1'KINTICll. Uoniorrntlc Senators lluvti lit l.HHt , It In Pnlil , Completed Their Tariff Hill. WASHINGTON , March 0. The democratic members of the senate finance committee ad journed a few minutes after 4 o'clock this afternoon. They had been holding occa sional sessions during the day , going back and forth between the senate chamber and the committee room , and appearing at no time to bo very busy. All the appearances Indicated that wlion they adjourned they had concluded their labors , but they refused to say thai they had and were very re ticent lnj their replica to questions. Senator Voorhcca said that there had been no meet ing of the full committee , but of uomo of the members , th.it no meeting will bo hold to morrow or that the bill will not bo re ported then , A circumstance which confirms the opinion that the committee has completed Its pre liminary work Is found In the fact that the bill which It Jias been cnga < : ed upon wui sent to the printer a short time before the demo cratic members of the committee loft the capital for their homes this afternoon , It If ) understood that the threat of the republicans to unite upon the Bland seignior age bill and , If possible , force Us con.sldrca- tlon In the , jicnato and provoke a long debito ! upon It has had the effect of hastening the ' action of ( ho committee , and possibly of bringing about an Understanding. The com mittee at first considered this threat very serious and It has at least had the effect o ( Indicating the probability of diverting the attention of the senate from the tariff and thus Injuring the prospects of an early con sideration of thnt question. Their discus sion up to the last moment before they sent their bill to the printer was b.iooil upon the sugar question , and It Is known that these discussions have within the last day or two narrowed down to the question of what , If any. Increase they would give upon refined sugar over raw. Kvcr since the caucus It Ims bi'cn the understanding among the mem- bois that raw sugar was to bo taken care of In the Interest of the planters and to satisfy the Louisiana senators If they could bo per suaded to accept n rate which the commlttoo would consider reasonable , but they noon found the Interest of the planters and the refiners wcro closely allied and that to satisfy both It would probably bo necessary to do more for the refiners than for the raw sugar men. The former have hold out stiffly for a substantial difference and the committee has hold back , willing , It Is under stood , to make u slight increase , but not all iho refiners demanded. The sugar duty advocates profess Ignorance tonight of what , It anything , has been dona In their behalf , and It appears probable that If the commlttoo has really completed Its work It has decided upon a schedule- prices and determined to submit It without further submission to those Interested. own roKincNVIIKAT TKADK. United .Slides Contnl * at Various Cities .Mnl < i > Id-port * on Its Condition. WASHINGTON , March 0. In reporting to the State department upon the prospects of enlarging the American wheat trade , the United Stales consul at Hong Kong , China , says that llttlo can bo done nt that place , as the Chinese ttso the cheaper rice In prefer ence to flour. Ho believes , however , that the opening to trade of new districts on the \ellow river and the reduction of duties nt Canton will result In some Increase. The consul at Newcastlo-on-Tyne , England , has no suggestions to offer , there being no duty on wheat or flour and no obstacle to the extension of the trade , which Is very Important and lone established. The sources of supply and prices are well known to dealers in Oroat Britain and the only questions they consider are quality and cost of delivery. The consul at Liege , Belgium , suggests that efforts bo made In cities of over 100,000 Inhabitants to push the trade. The Belgian millers all admit the superiority of American grain and but for Its hlch price It would control the market. As It Is , although no effort has been made , the trade has Increased In the last live years at the rate of 10 per cent per annum. The consul at Manlanzas , Cuba , reports that wo now have the entire wheat and flour trade there and any increase must come from Increased consumption by the working classes , who nt present use llttlo flour. In three years the trade has Increased 69 per cent. cent.Tho The consul at Christiana , Norway , thinks that much might be done to Increase the trade with that country , could transporta tion thither be facilitated. Now American wheat , which Is delivered at the pleasure of the railroads , Is often two or three months on the road and purchasers nro driven to the use of German wheat. I-'ICillTINO THi : ANTI-OPTION JJirT Now York I'rniluco MPII 1'itforo tlio Agricul tural Committee. WASHINGTON , March 0. Leading mem bers of the New York Produce and Mercan tile exchange were again before the house committee on agriculture to combat the Hatch anti-option bill. It brought out a re newal of the colloquy between Mr. Hatch , chairman of the committee , and the com mercial reports. Mr. Hatch characterized the written statement of President Bless of the New York Cotton exchange as an "ar raignment of the committee. " He said that an objection to It would cause Its exclusion , but ho would raise no objection. Mr. Bloss' statement was very plain , and urged that the Hatch bill was pernicious and an un warranted meddling with the Individual lib erty of citizens. Chairman Hatch asked President Bless , "Why do many board of trade men favor this bill ? " Mr. Bless With duo respect to them , I think they are misled by personal considera tions. Mr. Hatch You hold that board of trade men opposed to the bill are entitled to con sideration ? Mr. Bless That Is my position , as such men actually represent the commercial or ganizations. Mr. Hatch Do you think the farming and .agricultural Interests are entitled to any consideration ? Mr. Bless I do not believe they have any adequate knowledge of the measure. TO STAND OFF Till : TAICIW HIM , . Reason far the Friendliness of tlin Seimto Itepiilillcnni for the lllund Illll. WASHINGTON , March C. It develops that the concerted action of the republican sena tors dn their efforts to take up the Bland seigniorage bill at this time for the purpose of displacing the tariff bill Is the result of a conference held by the advisory committee of the republican senatorial caucus. While the republican senators , both favorable to and adverse to silver , express themselves as In favor of the movement there Is no great zeal manifested on either hand. Neither the free coinage republicans nor the anti-silver senators care much for the Bland bill as such. Of course the nntl-Hllver republicans would oppose the bill , and If they support It or appear to do It now their only motive Is to stand off the tariff bill. The sliver men do not consider that the passage of the bill would have any Influence whatever on silver. Want the Dotty ItrriignUixl. WASHINGTON , March C.
