CHARGES OF BAD FAITH ARE NUMEROUS
Pacific Itomidly IlonMcd for IU
Cut on Coal from Colorado How a
Heavy Hliljiprr Hires Up
tlio Mltuntloii.
The Missouri Pacific , In Its cxtrcmo cut
on coal and coke to Colorado points , seems
to have forgotten Its Denver & Ho ! Grande
connections. A freight agent of ono of
the leading roads yesterday stated
that the Missouri Pacific might as well try
to make rates on the atmosphere as on coal
and coke , which may bo obtained within
200 miles of Denver. "Tho only effect this
reduced rate will have will bo to reduce the
rates of the other ; fellow's coal , without
affecting In the least degree the coal brought
into Colorado by the Missouri Pacific. What
ndvantago tha Mlsiourl Pacific expects to
gain In this cut rate Is shrouded In mys
tery , and It seems to be flying In the face
of public sentiment expressed by the mer
chants of Denver at a meeting held Wednes
day , when the most pronounced resolutions
reflecting on the railroad ] were passed. The
reduction cannot help but antagonlzo the
Denver & Hlo Qrando , which hauls almost
all the coke burned In Colorado , and It will
bo the means of crystalling a sentiment
i against the Missouri Pacific which cannot
fall to be far reaching.
"It is oil very well to get rates down to
ft point where the revenues are vitally af-
' fectcd , but It Is qulto a different matter to
Inako breaks that only tlmo will bo able to
mend , In my opinion the Missouri Pacific
lias gene too far In Its attempt to cover over
certain manipulations In connection with the
* western pooling arrangement , and Its re
fusal to divide up J IS,000 , which It received
In excess of Its share by cutting rates ,
nhows the unreliability of the oflicers of the
company In making promises to deal fairly. "
Speaking of the present cut In coal rates ,
the freight man said that In 18S7 coal
touched $1.CO per ton ) due , In n largo meas
ure , to1 tha same Influences which were
now at work to pull down rates. He
thought , however , that the rates would bo
epccdlly adjusted , as President Marvin
Jlughltt of the Northwestern had called a
meeting for next week , when the difficulties
. would undoubtedly bo settled.
Frank Colley , traffic manager for Swift &
Co. , talking about packing house rates said
t a Bee man that the rates on llvo stock
had been equalized between Kansas City and
Omaha and that the present rates ought , to
Tiring a lot of business to South Omaha.
"Of course , " said he , "wo would rather have
a stable than an unstable rate , for then wo
would know where we stood and everything
above the rate would bo velvet. Under the
present chaotic conditions It keeps a man
jumping to meet nil the changes taking
"ilace , but South Omaha Is not particularly
hurt through the reductions. The present
conditions , however , cannot last long and by
the end of next week/1 look for a readjust
ment of the freight question. "
iuis ON THI : STAND AGAIN.
Farther Invcatlgntlon of the Crooked Trans
action * of the Northern I'aolllc.
NEW YORK , May 12. The Investigation
Into the affairs of the Northern Pacific was
continued today. Yesterday's hearing
closed with a halt promise from James Mc-
Kaught of the counsel for the receivers to
explain awayi the damaging ! Impressions
produced during the day byj the unfortunate
lapses In the memory of Edward Edcs , as-
elstant secretary and treasurer of the de
funct Oregon Transcontinental , and by the
vcxtraordlnary manner In which the books
/of that company had been kept. From the
data produced It was Impossible to say
whether any Individual subscriber to the
bonds had or had not paid for his bonds.
Mr. McNaught suggested that It would bo
found that the missing millions had been
received by the Chicago & Northern Pa
cific road through the United States Trust
company , and requested the production before -
fore the master today of the records referring
(
ferring to the transactions between the-o
two corporations.
Mr. Edes again took the stand and pro
duced a memorandum made up by him
from notes made at the tlmo , stating the
names of the subscribers to the $3,000,000
of bonds , the amount of money paid by
, each and the annuity of- bonds received by
each. This { .tatoment appears to show
that nil tho. subscribers who were supplied
viwith bonds through the' Oregon & Trans-
contlnenta } paid for their holdings at the
market priceof SO cents on the dollar.
Mr. McNaught , In pursuance bf his premise -
, iso of yesterday , called attention to an
" agreement which was among the papers filed
yesterday afternoon , but which the master
Bald ho had not-noticed , which stated that
during the consideration of the Chicago &
Great Western and other properties In the
Chicago & Northern Pacific , and the Issuance
of the $20,000,000 of bonds used to pay for
the separate properties so consolidated , it
was agreed that the portion paid for the
Chicago & Great Western should bo handled
through the United States Trust company as
agent. These bonds amounted to over $11-
000,000 , and If this agreement was carried
out all the $20,000,000 Issued would bo ac-
.countcd for and the sensational testimony of
yesterday , wljleh seemed to show that some
body had received millions of1 bonds for a
nominal consideration , will bo nullified.
Taking up tlo ( subscription list to the bonds ,
L 2Ir. Edcs read off tlio names of the subscrlb-
i rs , the number of bonds received and the
. .i/fCD paid , amounting In each case to 90 per
T' cent of the face value of the bonds plus the
accrued Interest.
C. L. Colby , who for himself and associates
subscribed for nearly $8,000.000 bonds , was
the only subscriber whoso name did not
appear on Mr. Edcs memorandum as having
paid for his bonds. This sum , the witness
thought , was paid through the United States
Trust company. Mr. Edcs was asked why
ho did not say yesterday that the bonds
were sold through the United States Trust
company , and replied that ho "did not think
of It. "
Counsel for the complainants submitted
to Master Cary the papers they proposed to
offer 1 the United States circuit court for
southern New York for the purpose of coin-
polling C. A , Spofford to appear and give
evidence. Ex-Senator Spooner of counsel for
the receivers stated to the master that ho
and his associates would assist In this pro
ceeding. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

> yHloninent of Through Itiitm from the
*
, ' .MUMMlppI to the Houlumrd.
CHICAGO , May 12. ( Special Telegram to
The Bee. ) Western officials almost lost sight
of their desperate rate situation today In the
rejoicing of the annulment of through rates
from the Mississippi to the east after May
22 , Eastern officials threaten all sorts of
retaliation , but western lines are secure In
their position , They originate the business ,
and are always certain of obtaining their
full local rates up to the Junction points
with eastern lines. They cannot bo dislodged
from this position. Any retaliation by east
ern lines must bo on some other point. Such
retaliation will In any event cost the eastern
lines dearly , as western officials have broken
the Ice In opposing the demands of the east ,
and will hereafter stand to tholr guns In
any nght.
Figures portraying the advantage to Chicago
cage of this amendment of through rates are
at 'wide ' variance. A conservative estimate
places the value of the Increased tonnage
whlcli will come to Chicago by reason of
the change at $50,000,000 annually. Many
estimates run over $100,000,000. Any figures
are guoaa work to a largo extent , as there
is no experience on which to found them.
There seems no difference of opinion among
western officials that the eastbound lines
from Chicago will loao In the neighborhood
of $5,000,000 by the change.
At present the situation Is decidedly mixed.
The notice Issued by Chairman MMgcly In
tha name of all western lines declares
broadly that no thrcuijh rates shall be made
after May 22 In territory east of the Missis
sippi. This does not apply from territory
taking ths St. Louis rate , and other territory
may be exempted. Toe final result will al
most certainly be that all through rates will
be cancelled via Chicago and other Junction
point * .
CommlBflloner Inglchart of the Chicago
fcrlght bureau has worked unccailngly to
bring about the cancellation of through rates
via Chicago for nix yearn. It Is In a largo
sense a personal victory for him and the
bureau. Assistant General Freight Agent
Miller of the Atchlion was the first railroad
official to take the matter up In earnest.
About a year and a half ago he sent no
tice ! to eastern Inca refusing to prorate with
them on through business It they deducted
terminal arbitrarles before division. Ho has
gained recruits constantly since then , and
the recent action of the western lines Is
caused by his persistence In fighting the un
just divisions forced by eastern roads.
WAIIKINU IIOAD.H AT 1'KACK.
Union nml Southern I'liclllc nnd Atclilson
lloitdt Como to an Agreement.
CHICAGO , May 12. The lines of the
Western Passenger association are now hope
ful the rate question , with which they have
been struggling so long , Is In a fair way to
get settled , and , moreover , they expect this
settlement will amount to something and
will not bo kicked Into nothing before the
Ink on the agreement has dried. There Is
no longer any room for doubt that the
Atclilson. Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
have finally made an agreement with each
other , and th6y are In a position to manipu
late as they please the California business of
the association If the other lines are not
disposed to accept their terms , which , fortu
nately for themselves , the other lines are
disposed to do.
The division of emigrant business , over
which all the trouble has arisen , will bo
nettled by allowing the. Union Pacific some
thing less than It originally claimed on the
through business to the Pacific coast , and
giving It Instead a slightly Increased per
centage on the Colorado business. The
Burlington and the Rock Island , which are
the only two roads vitally Interested In the
California business besides the three roads
which have formed the agreement , arc will
ing to have the thing settlr-d on a basis
agrccablo to tha ethers , and there really
scorns to be nothing In the way of a final
settlement.
The cut In freight rates announced by
the Missouri Pacific1 on Colorado business
will have the effect of hurrying that con
ference Of the western lines which the
presidents have for some ttmo concluded
they will bo obliged to hold If they arc to
keep any revenue at all for their lines. It
Is probable that before they can got to
gether the rates will be cut again.
PACIFIC SHOUT LINK IN COUKT.
Manhattan Trust Coinpiiny Clmrgcd with
Fraud In Hypothecating Stock.
NEW YORK , May 12. A big railroad suit ,
carrying with It charges of fraud nnd cor
ruption , was begun In the United States
circuit court today by Gordon G. Badger
and Charles Bruehner of South Sioux City ,
Nob. , representing some fifty others , against
the Manhattan Trust company of New York
and Moses French on his own account and
that of his father , Francis French , now
dead. Donald McLean , Edward Gedney and
George Blanchard of this city are also men
tioned In the complaint as being concerned
with the defendants. They , with the
Frenches , In 1S8S , formed what was called
the Wyoming Pacific Improvement company
for the construction of a railroad from Cov-
Ington , Nob. , to Salt Lake City , 9CO miles , to
bo called the Pacific Short Line and to form
part of the Nebraska railroad , the Wyoming
& Northeastern railroad nnd the Salt Lake
Valley railroad. The company was Incor
porated In 18SS , with a nominal capital of
$3,000,000. The subscriptions were to bo
used In the construction of a branch from
Covlngton to O'Neill , 129 miles. The sub
scribers were to receive stock of the Im
provement company nnd bonds of the Ne
braska & Western company. The Manhat
tan Trust company became the financial
agents for the concern , and all the stock
Issued was Immediately delivered to the
trust company and retained by It. Francis
0. Frenchr controlled this , and managed to
elect his own directors and trustees. In
1890 , It Is charged , the stock of the com
plainants was fraudulently hypothecated by
the trust company , conniving with which
were the persons mentioned as defendants.
KANSAS KATKS COME UOWA.
Santa Fo MukcH a Swooping Reduction In
All Heavy Classes.
KANSAS CITY , May 12. The Santa Fe
announced another sweeping reduction on
heavy freight. On classes 5 , A , B , C , D and
E the rates from Kansas City to any point
In Kansas will be not nioro than 50 cents.
This Is the reduction to points near Kansas
City , but In western Kansas It Is a reduc
tion of CO to 75 per cent. The Santa Fe has
already reduced the rate to Denver to 15
cents on these classes of freight. Other
roads are expected to meet the cut In Kansas
and the result can only bo a general smashIng -
Ing of Kansas rates. A railroad man says
that the Santa Fe has tired of the fight and
will put rates so low that the other roads
will bo forced to come1 to an understanding.

Insldo of twenty-four hours If at all.
Nearly all the members of the American
Railway union grievance committee nro In St.

Director Rogers received the following tele
gram from President Debs : "Engineer
Best and crow must go back under all cir
cumstances. The men In custody of the
authorities for alleged Interferences with
trains are also entitled to return to work
under the agreement. Only those proven
guilty of malicious destruction of property
arc barred and there are none of these as
far as I know. We must Insist on each and
every man going back. I have wired Presi
dent Hill substantially to this effect. Keep
mo fully advised and If necessary I will Join
you. "
ST. PAUL. May 12. The Great Northern
grievance committee delegated a subcommit
tee to wait upon President Hill , and after a
three hours conference , begun at noon , this

mittee without having accomplished any

the grievance committee would prepare state
ments of their understanding of the terms on

ments arc to be submitted to the arbitration
board. A definite agreement on all details
Is desired at this time by the men and they
Insist that everything must bo made so clear
that no misunderstanding will bo possible.
The men also Insist on the reinstatement of
all strikers , heading the list with Engineer
Best , who during the strike hero took a
passenger train out of the depot , and de
serting the cab , left the train standing on

Mother Catollne , sister In cnarge , mails a
very Interesting report o ( ilm work done
during the past month. Several have en
tered the homo and a11 few have left
to go to service or to ref nj.to the homo
from which they had stn\yi : > l. , One or two
cases , which had been declared hopeless
have > shown marked Improvement and the
record for the month Is full of encourage
ment for nil who are Interested In the work.
Although established primarily for the
resctio of fallen women , the ounce of preven
tion Is not neglected , and therefore much of
the wcrk of the mission has been along the
preventive * linos. Several young girls have
been helped , In some cases so quietly thai
no one has suspected their nearness to the
dividing line between honor and disgrace.
Mother Caroline , the sister In charge , Is
a woman of much tact and makes frlrndi
of those with whom she qome In contact
while Sister Sarah Is an excellent assistant
For obvious reasons there Is much done thai
cannot bo Detailed publicly , and only those
who are really Interested In the mission
can know bow much has been accomplished
In addition to the work at the home , Mother
Caroline conducted a series of mothers
meetings at Trinity , at which the attendance
was large and constantly Increasing untl
closed for the summer. Many touching In
stances Of the Interest taken by the women
were given by Mother Caroline In her re
port. In which she also recounted the other
work done by herself and Sister Sarah dur

tion Is extended to all who are Interested
to visit It. Every Thursday evening , serv

NEW YORK , May 12. Sunol's bronze
statue of Columbus was unveiled by Vice
President Adlnl E , Stovcnson this afternoon
In Central park. One thousand scats had
been reserved about the platform and the
statue for guests who had been furnished
tickets , but at 3 o'clock every one was given
access to them , and there was probably
G.OOO to 6,000 people on the ground. Di
rectly In front of the stand was the statue
veiled with on American flag. Just before
the commencement of the exercises the
oflicers of the Spanish man-of-war Nautilus
reached the grouhd. They were escorted
to the plat term and formally Introduced.
.Without preliminary remarks General Wil
son then Introduced lit. Rev. Bishop Potter ,
who delivered a lengthy Invocation , closing
with the Lord's prayer , which the audience
joined him In repeating. General Wilson
then Introduced ! the- vice president. Mr.
Stevenson was warmly received. He said :
"No words of mine can add to the In
terest or dignity of this great occasion.
This hour will llvo In history. From elo
quent lips have fallen burning words wh'lch
will tell to coming ages of the homage paid
hero and now to the memory of the dis
coverer of our continent.
STEVENSON'S SPEECH.
"Central Park beautiful and magnificent
Is the fitting place for the statue of Colum
bus. It is well that to the city of New
York , the metropolis of the continent , should
fall the grateful task of portraying to the
millions of all the coming ages the features
of the man who , despite obstacle and dan
ger , marked out the pathway to the now
world. The name and fame of Columbuo
belong exclusively to no ago or country.
They are the enduring herltacc of all people.
Your president has truly said ; "In all trans
actions of history there Is no act which , for
vastncss of performance , can be compared
gator , 'Ho only opened the gates , ' and lo
there canio In builders of a new and mighty
nation. It Is said that tn Venice there Is
sacredly preserved a letter written by
Columbus , a few hours before he sailed from
Palos. With reverent expression of trust
in God , humbly but with unfaltering faith ,
he spoke of his proposed 'voyage to that
famous land. '
"Ho bulldcd more wisely than ho knew.
( Us dream , while a supplicant In the chamber
of kings and while keeping lonely vigil on
the deep , was the discovery of a now path
way to the Indies. Yet who can doubt
that to his prophetic soul was then fore-
to the discovery of the continent of Amer
ica. '
"In the modest words of the great navl-
shadowed something of that 'famous land'
with the war whoop and whose history and
tradition his name and fame are linked for
all time. Was It Mr. Wlnthrop who Bald
of Columbus and his compeers , 'They were
the pioneers In the march to Independence ,
the precursors In the progress of freedom
which was to have no backward steps. '
"Is It too much to say of this man that
among the world's benefactors a greater
than ho hath not appeared ?
"What page In all history tells of deeds
fraught with blessings to the genera
tions as the discovery of America ? Colum
bus added another continent to the map of
the' world. I will detain you no longer.
Yo\ir eyes will now behold this splendid
work of. art. It Is , 'well ' that Its approaches
are 'firm and broad , 'for alo'rig .this1 pattiway
with the rolling centuries will' come , as pil
grims to a shrine- , the myriads of all lands
to behold this statue of Columbus this en
during monument to the gratitude of a great
city , of a great nation. "
At the moment ho concluded he pulled the
rope placed In his hand , the flag was drawn
froni the statue , whlcti In all Its artistic
finish was revealed to an applauding and
appreciative audience. It is situated on the
south end of the mall , facing Shakespeare's
statue , and the figure represents Columbus
with the standard of Spain In his right hand ,
the pole resting upon a globe upon a cell
of rope. The left hand and arm ore extended -
tended slightly forward as If completing a
gesture , while- the face portrays him In the
act of speaking.
Mayor Gllroy , on behalf of the city , ac
cepted the statue In a few well chosen
words. Ho was followed by Mr. Cornelius
Vanderbllt , who read three letters , one from
Governor Flower , one from Mr. Robert C.
Wlnthrop of Massachusetts ) and ono from
the duke of Veragua , as follows :
THANKS TO THE AMERICANS.
MADRID , April G , 1891. My Dear General :
On the occasion of the unveiling of the
.statue of Columbus I beg you to express
my cordial greeting to the city of New York
and all the American citizens who are as
sembled in order to pay a new tribute of
respect to the memory of my Illustrious
ancestor. You have Just erected a work of
art of the sculptor who has better repro
duced In marble the Inspired features of
the man whose genius discovered a conti
nent greater than the rest of the then
known world. Spain prides herself upon
artists like Sunol. Allow me to thank you ,
both as a decemlant of Columbus and a
Spaniard. Also I beg to congratulate you ,
dear general , for the Interest you have
taken In this matter , whlcli has so greatly
contributed to Its success , The duches.3
sends her kindest regards. IJpllovo me ,
sincerely your friend , VURAGUA.
To General Jumes Urant Wilson.
Baron Favu , the Italian minister , was too
indisposed to rpeak.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was next Intro
duced and read a poem written by her for
the occasion , entitled "A Mariner's Dream. "
In the absence of Senor Don Muruaga his
address was read by Consul General Halde-
zanco. He satil :
"It becomes the representative of Spain ,
the country which was the prime promoter
of the discovery of America , to address on
this occasion the people of this .great
metropolis and of the United States In a
spirit of friendship and good will. It Is ,
moreover , particularly gratifying to the
Spanish to behold the vice president of the
United States and the most popular orator
of New York ralso their eloquent voices to
toner the memory of Columbus and to ac-
cnowledge the brilliant and effective works
jcrformcd by General Wilson In bringing tea
a conclusion this remarkable and useful
enterprise.
"Tho mind hesitates and feels bewildered
considering the possibilities that might have
arisen in the communities of Europe , strug
gling with- the unknown and Incontrollablo
> roblems of .labor , capital , over-population
ind over-productions , had this vast contin
ent not been thrown open to the partizans
of free thought , free work anil free govern
ment. Let this well deserved statute re
mind every man , however exalted his posl-
Ion may bo , that he must contribute his
hare of labor and worry for the public
velfarc. "
Mr. Chauncey M. Depow , the last speaker ,
vas then Introduced and delivered the dcdl-
atlng oration. Ho- was heartily applauded.
Mr. Depow said :
COULD COLUMBUS ONLY HAVE SEEN.
"New York can add nothing to the glory
of Columbus , but she may enforce the lesson
of his llfo and discovery. The fire klmllcd
by him In the western hemisphere , amid
he darkness of the fifteenth century , has
lecomo tha ( Umo which Illuminates the
nineteenth century with light and liberty ,
'he Columbian Idea of discovery was to
Ind a land whose gold could bo mined from
xhauatless stores , a land flowing with
rivers of diamonds and ( precious stones.
. .Imltlcas wealth , easily acquired , was lo
nrlch , beyond the dreams of averlce , the
overelgns of Spain. He had no concep.
Ion of the ndvcnturem pioneer nnd thrifty
migrant. Tlu liruglaaUer. cannot picture
its amazement could he 'lave foreseen the
marvelous result ! of the Mayflower's voyage ,
'tis wealth poured In such abundant ine.uiire
ram the mines of the new world Into the
reisury of Spain was a patent factor In the
all of her power and prestlga In nuropa ,
"The founders of our republic welcomed
with cordial licsp tallty all who canio to es-
ape oppression cr better their condition.
The Immigrants who accepted the Invitation
nd landed by millions on our shores brought
the qualities anil purpose * which have added
Incalculably of our country.
"Four centuries separate us from Cohim-
biift. Within this period more has been nc *
compltahcd for humanity than tn the C.OOO
years which preceded him. Wo are to dedi
cate this statue to his memory , became
of the unnumbered blessings to America and
lo the people of every race and cllmp which
followed his discovery. His genius and
fnlth gave to succeeding generations the op
portunity for lite and liberty. We , the heirs
of all the ages , In the plentltude of our en
joyments and the prodigality of favor *
showered upon u. , hall Columbus as n hero
and benefactor. "

CORVALLIS , Ore. , May 12-Dr. J. M.
Applewhite , treasurer of the State Agricul
tural college , lay In wait last night near

Ing Is the outgrowth or tno liaison , and Is
supposed to have been done In a flt of Jeal
ous rage. The shooting occurred near the
Kcnyon farm house , three tulips from town.
Mr. and Mrs , Kenyon were riding In a
wagon , when Applewhite stepped out niul
began firing. Kenyon returned the fire , but
missed. Ho received a painful flesh wound
and Mrs. Kenyon only a scratch. The affair
terminated by Applewhite dragging Mrs.
Kcnyon with him and disappearing. Sheriff
Oaborn , with deputies and half a hundred
citizens , are In pursuit of the pair , and
there Is a fear Applewhite may bo lynched.
The dead body of Mrs. Kenyon and the
almost lifeless body of Dr. Applewhite were
found by oflicers , side by side , In a bushy
ravine near the scene of last night's shootIng -
Ing affray. The woman died from the effects
of twenty grains of morphine , by whom
administered Is not known. Applewhite was
suffering from the effects of the same drug ,
with , two gashes from a pocket knife In his
neck and cuts In each wrist , made In nn
attempt to open his arteries. Ho said ho
tried to kill Kenyon , but meant no harm to
the woman. He attempted to use his re
volver when the officers approached. Ho
